What Did That Sign Say?
The reviews on this movie seem to have the general idea covered very well, so suffice it to say that I agree, it's a horrible film. One thing that I did not see in the reviews was any mention of Cherokee Jack's sign. The version of the film I saw only flashed to the sign for about 1/2 second. I ran it back and played it twice more and I still could not absorb the whole thing. So I paused on the sign and did a screen-grab.
The sign in itself is funny, so I posted the screen-grab on my personal Web site and was going to give you a link here so you could see it for yourselves. Alas, the posting guidelines for IMDb forbid giving URL's. Too bad. It's worth a look.
While it doesn't do the actual sign justice, here is what it says:
*******************************
"CHEROKEE ~ JACK"
WiLL FLiE YOU ANYWHERE?
RATES - PRETTiE - REASONEBLE;
*******************************
All misspellings and punctuation above are correct. The "i"'s were all lower case, but capital sized. The sign was done by hand. I'll admit that the possibility exists that this was intentional, but considering how little thought went into the rest of this movie, I doubt it. So, Jack somehow managed to get a pilot's license but can't spell the word "fly"? Not exactly confidence inspiring.
I was also counting how many times a cigarette was put to lips in this film, but I lost count after 27.
Coleman Francis, was there any movie you couldn't make for $35,000?
