Martin himself is to blame he doesn't make films like this anymore. He is an A PLUS SNOB!
Skin that Smokewagon and see what happens! Tombstone

This is hilarious, along with Planes Trains And Automobiles my fave Martin film, but in that film hes more of the straight man, while in this he is hilarious as is the whole film, a superb comedy classic.

like "the brain that wouldn't die", "frankenstein" and "the invisible man" vibe in a 1980's comedy starring steve martin at his best here perhaps i think, i don't know how well known "brain that wouldn't die" flick is but if you've seen it you get to really come to think of that plot as the first of this movie is playing out. i didn't care for this movie as a kid but caught it today and enjoyed the gags throughout the movie, the merv griffin bit was a riot. by the way, has kathleen turner ever played anything close to an ordinary woman? or is it always insane bitches, serial killers, treasure huntress etc? i didn't discover the original title to this until now, the translated (swedish) title that i've always known it by actually has his complicated last name in the title, i can just imagine all the pronouncement fuss that must have caused, that gag was suppose to stay IN the movie, wasn't it.
on the b side,
with memories of the swinging times,
when it was all new in play,
before i learned the notes of today,
wanna some records trade,
but i can't walk the wax way,
too late to repeat the old lines,
on the flip side.
