I saw this film in 1976...I lived in the North of Scotland,and TV was truly awful..I switched on this film which was in German with subtitles,the only reason was, I was learning German...what a delight..the humour is dark but comes fast and funny,no one I know has ever seen this film,and as a previous reviewer has said,it hasn't been shown again,on TV, but I was feeling down and I watched it because it was German, I laughed and laughed,the story is one of two hardly master criminals, who disable each other "doing a job" from there on the laughs come thick and fast .whoever said the Germans have no sense of humour has never seen this film. I hope it comes on TV again,and I pray its not a case of 'distance lending enchantment 'on my part.....I thought in 1976 it was brilliant,and I'd love to see it again.

well Norbitt came out to awful reviews in this country..anti women..anti fat women...anti everything women...I like Eddie Murphy..if he has gone where eagles don't the guy is incredible...Norbitt is so funny from the first second to the last....the story is ..boy meets girl..boy loses girl...boy regains girl, but oh boy the action is thick and fast..Norbitts wife deserves an Oscar...but you have to keep telling yourself thats Murphy....and who ever delivered the line "God bless America" or"Officer down " with more of a belly laugh...The Man is so funny I cant think of anyone giving me more laughs The nutty Professor was funny but this film I've watched it ten times,and I don't tire of it..if your a fat feminist ..dont watch...but for the rest of you ..enjoy

well Clint has come out with many great lines..from "i KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING, to A MANS GOT KNOW HIS LIMITATIONS, and he doesn't disappoint in Unforgiven...his line DESERVE HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, sure shows the old boy can cut it.But I digress..this film is an offbeat western,with possibly more truth in it than many others....Clint is a past by date horrible killer trying to raise two kids, not too successfully..when a young buck arrives and tells him of a reward for getting two cowboys for molesting a prostitute,he thinks once and then goes...the old boys rusty...but not that rusty...he calls to collect Morgan Freeman...and the stage is set.however in Little whiskey is the old tough sheriff...and the boys find getting their reward a touch tougher than they thought...but in a finale suitable for Clint films, he triumphs..as we knew he would...a good film...well acted...not overdone...well worth watching
