    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Raquel Welch did not like Burt Reynolds because of comments he made while they were filming 100 Rifles (1969) that she considered unsavory. So in this movie, she insisted that she not have any direct scenes with Reynolds. The closest they get is during the interrogation. Even when in the same room, they never had direct eye contact.
    • Goofs
      Carella poses as a homeless man in order to catch the firebugs. But he remains clean-shaven, without the several days' growth of beard that a real bum would surely have.
    • Quotes

      Detective: What do you mean they're putting garbage in your car?

      Man with Garbage: Every morning garbage in the front seat. You know, coffee grounds, potato peels and moldy fruit. It just gets such a mess when it gets on the floor and, you know, walking around with it slipping on your heels. It's disgusting; old chewed up bones like they had a dog or something. And one day it looked as though somebody had blown their nose in pieces of old toilet paper and wet cigarette butts and things like that. It's really disgusting, and you can't find that in your car seat every morning and live through it. My stomach turns and I really threw up several times, but not in the front seat of the car.

    • Crazy credits
      Evan Hunter wrote the "87th Precinct" novels under the nom de plume Ed McBain. For this film, he is credited with the screenplay under his own name, but as McBain for "based on the novel by."

    Reynolds and Skerritt Both Shine Here
    Continuing my plan to watch every Burt Reynolds movie in his filmography in order, I come to 'Fuzz'

    My usual Plot In A Paragraph is a bit tricky, as there are several plots, which all take place at the same time, which is probably more realistic than most cop movies, because things are always happening at the same time in a police station. Let's see.

    Plot In A Paragraph: A gang of bombers led by a mysterious man known only as "The Deaf Man" (Yul Brynner) is blowing up city officials as part of an extortion plot. Some punk kids are setting drunken bums on fire and a rapist is loose in the park.

    I really enjoyed this movie Reynolds shares great chemistry with Tom Skerrit and Jack Weston, and Yul Brynner and Raquel Welch were both good too!! It had some funny scenes and rather than good police work, the cops stumble on the solution by sheer coincidence (which makes a refreshing change)

    The nicest scene in the movie is a touching moment between Reynolds and his deaf wife in the hospital, as Reynolds attempts to play down his serious injuries!!
