I say with great certainty that this was the greatest musical event of my lifetime. Yet there seem to be no video or audio copy that is available. This Live Aid album would have brought in Millions of Dollars in relief aid. Think about the cassette, album, CD, & DVD money we would have all paid? I am lucky enough to have a scratchy cassette recording off of the radio from that day. Long live Freddy!!!!

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to dominate a 100,000 people? How about a 100,000 wet, cold people? There will not be another Freddy Mercury, nor for that matter another Queen. If you think this this is an unreasonable critique, check out the DVD for yourself. After that, check out the double live CD that followed their Live Aid performance. I believe the comment that Live Aid Promoter Bob Geldof said as he was given a $1million cheque was `Who has their sound together?' It was Queen. Stadium Rock was for the most part crap for those of us who were there. Long live Freddy!!!

Chick flick from Hell.

Spare yourself. It's too late for me as I was conned into this unmatchable dreck that went nowhere by Mrs. Yu. I guess the plot was about 2 single chicks living in the 80's looking for men. Do you need any other reason not to watch? Needed a kicker? They're in New Jersey! Don't be fooled by Uma Thurman being in this as they manage to ugly her up as much as possible. Get this plot twist: She can't get picked up by low lifes in bars. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

-I was there in the 80's and this was not the 80's.

-I now have to watch Braveheart 27 times straight to cleanse my brain. A far better chick flick then this.

What the cops never figured out, and what I know now, was that these men would never break, never lie down, never bend over for anybody. Anybody.

Watch this movie once and the story and the acting will impress you. Watch it a 2nd and 3rd and you will be blown away. I have never seen a movie so well conceived so that watching again and again enhances the story. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE DO NOT FIND OUT ANYTHING ABOUT IT IN ADVANCE!!! Don't let others ruin the experience.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

Apparently, after a horrifying appointment with his hair stylist. Arnold attempts to quietly retire with his Supercuts settlement money , Alyssa Milano (too young) , and 4000 guns and weapons. Apparently a heavily steroid abusing Freddy Mercury wants revenge for either a lousy tip or being forced to use a lousy Aussie accent. This may lower your opinion of Freddy, but remember his absolute brilliant performance at Live Aid as a redeeming factor.

Anyways, Arnold's daughter (Alyssa) gets kidnapped by Freddy. This really ticks off Arnold. Future tip: If you are flying coach with Arnold, give up the window seat, as he hates the aisle. I MEAN HE REALLY HATES THE AISLE SEAT! You know how the beverage cart bangs you in the elbow and then the stewardess says, `Watch your elbow'? One to many times for Arnold and he snaps, if you get my meaning. Bad guy exiting gives Arnold 11 hours, pick up a date, kill a member of a '80's rock group, destroy a classic MG and keyboardist and a pair of undersized, discounted Speedos to go after his daughter. Arnold KILLS everyone! If you had a relative in California in the '80's, Arnold kills him or her in this movie. I lost count after the first 18 or 20 million. I mean he goes as far as killing one bad guy with an 8' Black & Decker fine tooth table saw blade. This blade was introduced in the late 70s's to cut laminates, wall board and minimum wage movie bad guys.

The BIG SHOWDOWN happens when Psychotic Freddy Mercury is interrupted from singing `We are the Champions' . Ginsu showdown ensues with improper a/c duct relocating applied and Freddy convinced that he should stay with Queen.. Of course I could say `Another bites the Dust' , but I wont.

The entire Hollywood Special Op's Forces show up EXACTLY 23 seconds too late. Rae Dawn Chong , Alyssa Milano , the Speedos and his Supercuts money safe AND a Porsche, to recover his daughter. At this point he deplanes, runs into `Quest for Fire's ` Rae Dawn Chong', seat aborts a really nice MG and chases down the lead singer of Wang Chung, totals MG and punishes Wang for violations against humanity.

Nick Tortelli of `Cheers' seems to be the Madman behind the scene , having taken over the very strange and exotic province of `Santo DeCheesmo' a small , yet diminutive isle first settled by poor soles affilicated by a rare , yet fatal diseases : Bad Acting. His Supercuts stock being lowered by Arnold's settlement , he has Freddy kidnap Arnold's daughter and hires the entire Columbian , Nicaraguan , Costa Rican and Peruvian Marching Bands to guard her. Nick was never smart with his money nor his taste in music.

Hilarity ensues as Arnold mortgages EVERYTHING for his rubber dingy, some weapons, bad dialogue, dry ice, his kettledrum player

The perfect ending, the great theme that will play in your head for days afterwards, love, post war Vienna, black market scams, a faked death, a friends betrayal for what is right and Welles. If you have any doubt about how good this genius was, check this movie out. He's on the screen for about 10 minutes, yet steals the film from the brilliant performances of Joseph Cotton, Trevor Howard etc. The classic bad guy that somehow you can't bring yourself to hate.

Check it out and see if you can hate Orson when he flashes you that smile.

Smart, silly , inane , insane and very , very funny. The Black Knight scene alone makes the movie. The killer rabbit maybe the funniest , yet goriest scene ever. If you don't get it , switch to decaf. And don't try and figure out how the coconuts make it to the Britains.
