Trivia

During the filming of this movie on the lower west side of NYC James Coburn was being chased by two fellow actors who were dressed as uniformed cops. Shouting "Stop Stop", they chased Coburn around a corner and into a real on-duty uniformed NYC police officer. The officer dropped Coburn with one blow from his nightstick. Coburn had to seek medical treatment which subsequently stopped the filming for a time. See more »

Goofs

Every line referring to the "FBR" or "CEA" is dubbed, often quite obviously. The actors were actually saying "FBI" and "CIA," but at the behest of the actual agencies the names were changed in post-production. See more »

"Very good, indeed!"
4 November 2002 | by (Haddonfield, NJ) – See all my reviews

"The President's Analyst" is a satirical counter-culture classic that takes aim at everything and everyone, including the counter culture itself. It's also endlessly quotable and is probably the only movie where you'll hear a line like "Don't say Chinks. Say Chinese restaurant. Chinks is bigoted." Absolutely golden.

My father used to work for The Phone Company and he absolutely loved this movie, as did I from the first time I saw it. I taped it off AMC years ago before they turned evil (back when there were no commercial breaks and they still showed plenty of films letterboxed), and I wouldn't part with my tape for anything in the world -- expect maybe a special edition DVD with all of the original footage and music restored.

To anyone who says this film is boring or unfunny, I say, "Poppycock!"
