This 1970's road movie is very special with likable folks and some weird supporting characters along the way. Alan Arkin was great in the 60's & 70's and this part fits him like a glove. MacKenzie Phillips as Frisbee brings her unique characteristics to her lonely young woman looking to connect. Sally Kellerman was so great in the 70's playing wackos or tight-asses in uniform; always a joy to watch.
A definite 7 out of 10. Best performance = Alan Arkin. There are excellent minor characters played by Alex Rocco and especially Harry Dean Stanton (one of the treasures of American cinema is this man's presence). This film may be too laid-back for most high-charged Americans. Reminiscent of SLITHER (also Sally Kellerman). A hidden gem that was rarely seen at the time. Check it out!

RAFFERTY AND THE GOLD DUST TWINS has become something of a cult movie if you go by the comments on this website. I can understand to a degree its appeal: it's as of the 1970s as wood paneling and disco, it's about an aimless loser finding an unconventional family with a wannabe singer and her surly teenage companion, and most importantly, its heart is in the right place. But as with a lot of cult movies, this is only going to appeal to some and it really didn't click for me.
I appreciate what the movie is trying to do more than how it does it, if that makes sense. I found the characters mostly uninteresting and their contrived, predictable misadventures even less so. The episodes mostly failed to make me laugh or they came off as filler to make sure the movie was longer than 60 minutes. The direction is flat and unengaged too, which does not help.
Alan Arkin gave life to a great deal of misfits and outcasts at this point in his career, but I cannot call Rafferty one of the more memorable ones. He has some fine moments, but he never came off like a fleshed out individual and even after he decides to help out his two female associates, he still seems aimless, like he's just tagging along for the ride. Now perhaps that is the point, but if so, it's still not interesting to watch. Sally Kellerman outright annoyed me with her character's spaceyness and weird stoner vibes (is she supposed to come off that way?). Mackenzie Phillips is the only one who leaves an impression, even if she's playing a stereotypical teenage rebel. She had a lot of moments that touched me and I think she sold her character's loneliness better than anyone else.
I'm just baffled. I really wanted to like this, but I was left cold. Then again, that's just the nature of cult movies: you can't like 'em all, even if you're a cult afficionado like me.

This movie was given to me with a large assortment of videos, and this was the first one I watched, lucky me eh? Rafferty and the Gold Dust Twins is a road movie about a sad sack of a guy who is kidnapped by a pair of uh, how shall I say it, UNUSUAL female hitchhikers. A woman named Beachwood, played by Sally Kellerman, who seems to have some mental problems,. And a teenager named Frisbee played by Mackenzie Phillips who seems to have some personal issues that the film never REALLY gets around to explaining. Anyways, after some road hijinx, the three get used to each other and all agree to go to New Orleans, since Frisbee is from there. They travel to Vegas, get into some hijinx there, go to Houston, get into more hijinx, etc etc. No real plot, just a light.. really light character study. Arkin is the best actor here, Kellerman is just slightly strange and I'm not 100% sure if it's her character or what. Oh and she sings too (shudder) and lip syncs badly (shudders even more). Finally, what the hell was Mackenzie Phillips so annoyed about? Her face doesn't raise above a scowl for 95% of the movie. The only time she smiles is at the end of the movie. So did I, Mackenzie, but just because this movie was over.
Hollywood driving test instructor Rafferty (Alan Arkin) is a 20 years veteran former Marine and lives a sad lonely life. He's drinking in the park when he's approached by McKinley 'Mac' Beachwood (Sally Kellerman) and Rita 'Frisbee' Sykes (Mackenzie Phillips). Frisbee pulls a gun and forces him to drive them to New Orleans.
It's a road trip of petty crimes and misadventures. The movie is interesting for the actors. Mackenzie Phillips is only about 15 and the movie was released before her big break on One Day at a Time. Alan Arkin and Sally Kellerman are both very good. It also has some good support actors. I do wonder if Mac and Frisbee should be lovers. The movie would function better with a love triangle and some more jealousy. Frisbee jumping out of the car is a good scene but it would be even better if her motive has some sexual tension. The trio turns more into an odd little crime family. It is interesting that so many older men turn into creepy sleaze around her. It points to some unresolved sexual abuse in her past considering her anger issue. She needs a heart-to-heart with Rafferty about that. The ending could be improved. The three of them should drive away into the sunset together and there is no way the nun would just let her go with some guy claiming to be her dad. At least, Rafferty should show a fake ID. This is a fascinating little grimy 70's road trip indie.

I suspected this might not be a good movie since Pauline "Hates Everything Popular" Kael gave it a good review. Still, I gave it a chance, much to my regret. Though it's ostensibly a comedy, there is not one single laugh here - in fact, the movie often seems afraid of trying to generate any humor. None of the three leads is likable - Phillips is annoying, Kellerman bland, and Arkin is so boring it's no wonder we see his character asleep several times in the movie. To top it off, the movie is pretty much plotless, with the movie going whatever way it feels like, with no point in sight. This probably wouldn't have mattered had the movie been funny - but it isn't.
Lo sapevi?
- QuizSally Kellerman was reluctant to take on "another road movie" so soon after L'inseguito (1973). The main thing that persuaded her, she writes, was that she would get to sing, one of Sally's passions. Kellerman also writes that director Dick Richards was uninterested in hearing Sally's thoughts about her character, but had no problem discussing character and motivation with Alan Arkin. Sally says she eventually started filtering her thoughts to Richards through Arkin, as if they were Arkin's ideas.
- BlooperCharles Martin Smith's character says he's on a 15-day pass. In the Army, this would be considered a leave. Passes are almost always for two or three days. A pass is for short periods of time. Less than a week.
