High Risk (1981)

Loved this film in 81

Really liked this flick when I was only 10. Hadn't seen it since then and even stole a gag from it for something I was writing. Just found it at Amoeba in the bargain bin for 2$. Had to see if that gag was as funny as I remembered. It was. The ending, however, I can't explain. Sorry. Still, I enjoyed the performances and how silly that the dog kept finding them all over the country, then ended up racing down the runway with them in the end. The bad James Brolin wig on the matador double was great. The escape from prison with the little boy was also a nice bit, an old gag taken to a higher level. This film enjoys being a film and that's what I like about it.
