Product Description Angelo snaps provolone made his dying father a promise on his deathbed: he would leave the world of crime and become an honest businessman Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 05/06/2003 Starring: Sylvester Stallone Chazz Palminteri Run time: 109 minutes Rating: Pg Director: John Landis
Amazon.com Oscar was Sylvester Stallone's agreeable, 1991 effort at broad comedy, a fast-talking, suspender-snapping gangster farce featuring the Rambo star as a 1930s Chicago mob boss, Snaps Provolone, trying to go straight during overlapping personal crises. No, this isn't Billy Wilder, but director John Landis (Coming to America) has crackling fun with Oscar's fruit salad of traditional comic themes and tools, including mistaken identities, a powerful man's weakness for his children, and a nonstop parade of outre secondary characters. The cast includes Kirk Douglas as Stallone's father, whose deathbed wish compels Snaps to go into legitimate banking at the exact moment the latter's daughter (Marisa Tomei) announces her love for a chauffeur. Meanwhile, another woman claiming to be Snaps's offspring is engaged to a fellow (Vincent Spano) who has stolen $50,000 of the big man's money. Wackiness ensues. The winning cast includes Peter Riegert, Don Ameche, Chazz Palminteri, Eddie Bracken, Harry Shearer, Yvonne DeCarlo, and Bruce Davison. --Tom Keogh

Oscar January 30, 2010 Michael T. Santarsiero (Florida) One of Stalones best movies. A great comic spoof about the mob. The casting is excellent. Good for all ages.
Oscar November 22, 2009 Gaye D. Burns (Queensland, Australia) After viewing Oscar on vhs some years ago I wanted it for my viedo library but was unable to purchase it. When DVDs came out I still was not able to buy it either, until my daughter and I came across your web site. One problem is that it is NTSC and Australia has Pal. We have been able to watch the movie. Do you have it in the Pal mode? Gaye
Oscar September 4, 2009 R. MacDonald (Singleton, Western Australia) I had seen Oscar before, that' s why I bought it now. I love seeing Stallone in a comic role, rather than his other macho roles, which do nothing for me. I specially like the opening with the opera cartoon. All the actors are very good. I enjoyed the movie very much. R MacDonald
Another reason to watch " Oscar " July 13, 2009 Michael Heckman (El Cajon, Ca United States) I had to watch " Oscar " again just to see Ornella Muti. This woman is absolutely GORGEOUS !
Good Movies July 4, 2009 Harley (Southern California, USA) This is a movie I have always liked and I got it here for a great price. The shipping time was extrordinary. I had it days before I expected it.
