Running Out of Luck! (The movie)
Oct 23^rd, 2015 at 10:29pm

Last night, I finally got to see Mick Jagger's movie, "Running Out of Luck" on YouTube. And, I loved it! It was so funny! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time! I wanted to see it again tonight, but somehow they put a block on it. Oh, well! Good movie!

Spolier Alert: The funniest moments:

1.) The news reports in English say, "The rock star is staying in an undisclosed location." In Portuguese, they say, "He's staying at the Copacabana Hotel!"

2.) When, an extremely-large "Macumbera" black woman catches Mick eating the food reserved for the saints and dead spirits in the cemetery.

3.) The fazendera with the whip!

4.) Jerry Hall feeding caviar to some guy on the plane!

I have FreeJack on DVD. But, I have never been able to find Running Out Of Luck. Maybe, one day, I'll go to the flea market or the second-hand store and, I'll get lucky!

It was meant to sort of promote 'She's The Boss' but it came out about two years later or so, by which time no one really cared.

So, basically, it's up there with Citizen Kane, the first two Godfather movies, The Shawshank Redemption and Gone With The Wind as a cinematic masterpiece. It appears the appeal of Rae-dawn Chong's nipples was more influential than anyone could have imagined.

Sorry Gorda, totally opposite opinion. I remember buying this on an almost forgotten format (VHS- isn't it amazing how quickly it went away?) when it came out. If you're not a Stones fan or, as Gazza pointed out, a Rae-Dawn Chong fan, this is a shockingly awful film - even if you are it's horrible. Mick is an utterly crap actor. Yes, I did see The Man From Elysian Fields, and I thought he was still crap in that, although better than his other shockers. At any rate, I still have this movie on VHS. Usually with these utterly crap films, they become "cult classics" after the passage of time, but this was so awful it hasn't even been given that status. Dennis Hopper's even crap in this.

________________________________________

Gazza, Running Out Of Luck was a visual, and auditory landmark in cinema history.

The film was extraordinary. It has a whopping 96% positive rating on rottentomatoes.com and Siskel and Ebert cited the movie as their film of the year, (1987) ...and not to forget about three Oscar winning performances and two Emmys.

You've got your '2001' fans ... then you have the 'Citizen Kane' folks and then a large portion of others are 'Running Out Of Luck' maniacs.

[b]Agreed! He's pretty awful as an actor. But it's more a bland attempt at the character each time rather than just inability. Even Turner wears thin quickly.b]
