Quotes

Jason: We're just admiring your project, Jim.
Jim Daley: Jas', saving Venice is damned important. I made up a big stack of blues for that. Do you see those god-damned Arabs? If you don't let them in the front door, they buy the joint and change the locks.Sheiks, you remember? We used to buy them in drugstores, little foil packets, one size fits all.

User Reviews

Richard Harris was in great condition, but he's dead

Ordinarily, I'm not disgusted with movies. And probably this movie did what it set out to do if its' aim was to disgust audiences. Subject: old guy can't get it up, nor can the other robber baron (played by George Peppard). Wife loves him, but he can't believe that since he's so concerned about his age, and her youth.

Kind of sad to see all this, pre-Viagra of course. It would be a great 2 hour ad for Viagra, but doesn't have much else in it; unless you like the snuff-dancing done by the dancer. Macho looking guy is turned into a slave in a very humiliating manner. It made me feel pretty dirty to watch this movie, as though I were a voyeaur.

Watching Richard Harris do his push-ups was a great spectacle, and I don't mind THAT kind of voyeaur-ing. No accounting for tastes, I guess.
