 Classic in Every Sense of the Word!!! December 11, 2007

When you consider that both John & Gilda are now gone, this makes this compilation even that more precious. This is a wonderful and hilarious collection of vintage clips interspered with filmed clips of these wonderful comedians to create an excellent comedic scrapbook featuring some of our most treasured humorists.
It is indeed a shame this has not been reissued on DVD because it is certainly worth it. Those of us needing to have this on DVD will just have to purchase the VHS and re-record it at home on DVD for better preservation.
But the gems are the classic bits from a stalwart comedic ensemble - of course all of the skits don't hit the mark - but this is because one is unable to see the forest for the trees.
Besides, the very last clip with the guys getting in the car says it al...comedy classic to be sure!!!
I hiiiiiiiiiiiiiighly recommend!!!!!!!!!

This really is a fun little movie. If you love those great 50s sci-fi gems this is a must for you. Done in a tongue-in-cheek style "It Came from Hollywood" is a compellation of some of the funniest (unintentionally) scenes from some of the cheesiest movies ever made. Absolutely hysterical, especially for fans of the genre. Highly recommended.

Sadly this was never released on DVD. Various DVD websites have indicated that it was cancelled before it was released. Martin Blythe of Paramount confirmed it in a post at DVD Talk. Paramount took this off of their July 2002 schedule because of those dreaded "clearance problems."
On a down note, through recent correspondence with Paramount I asked if they were planning on revisiting a release of this title sometime in the future and was told "no plans - clearances would be impossible". C'MON PARAMOUNT - NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!

I LOVE watching the collection of clips from so-bad-they're-good movies, and the narration is OK to pretty good (Dan Ackroyd's narration is hilarious), but the filmed segments with Ackroyd, Gilda Radner, John Candy and Cheech and Chong are worthless, add nothing to the movie, and should never have been attempted. For serious bad film aficionados, I recommend this thing, but be sure to fast forward through those dumb live action scenes to get to the good (I mean bad) stuff.
Worth renting for sure! January 2, 2004

I don't know if I would buy this but it's definitely worth renting if you like the wit of the old SNL cast. Gilda Radner is great as well as John Candy, even Dan Akroyd is good even though he usually bothers me for a reason I still can't figure out. Cheech and Chong are very, very funny and I didn't even like them in the old days so that says something - somebody obviously held them back just a little bit (but not too much) and in this film it really works - there are some very funny parts. As for the clips of the various B movies they are GREAT - not too long but not too short. They give you just enough of each of these horrible movies without you getting bored (ever sat through the entire Killer Tomatoes?, if so you'll know what I mean). In retrospect I really can't complain about this film at all. I think they did a really good job of it and it's definitely worth a watch.
