Richard Lester's 1975 sequel to his romping Three Musketeers--released the year before--reunites his swashbuckling cast for a decidedly less happy and more somber experience. This time, D'Artagnan (Michael York) and his Musketeer mentors (Richard Chamberlain, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay) have a tougher fight against their old enemies, and the adventure is not without its casualties. But the film is highly entertaining, filled with that same loony air that makes most films by Lester (How I Won the War, A Hard Day's Night, Help!) so much fun. The actors are with him every step of the way: Reed, Chamberlain, Finlay, and York are a heroic version of the Marx brothers, Raquel Welch was never better, and Charlton Heston clearly enjoys playing the evil Cardinal...

It's probably too easy to dismiss this movie as a scrappy, dated foray in 1970's sludge, but in '72 it was considered highly unusual and intriguing for a celebrity diva like Raquel Welch to appear in a roller derby drama, and the film was a pretty big hit and generated lots of publicity(Welch even made the cover of LIFE magazine, wearing her No. 11 jersey). I liked the deep-in-thought driving montage of Welch on her way to see her kids(with super-cool jazz music by Don Ellis)and I loved the skating-on-the-street scene with KC and her daughter(wow! Jodie Foster). The track sequences deliver exactly what we want: hard-driving action with some good editing and camera angles, and the satiric behind-the-scenes bits are quite funny(one little old lady spends all her money on roller games).

I saw this movie while working for a private ambulance company in Los Angeles. Four of us got off work one morning and went to see the movie. Right from the beginning, we were laughing so hard that we could barely keep our seats. It was way too real! There is a ton of "inside" humor in this movie that makes it all the better to watch. Years later, I was working as a fire-service Paramedic and I would loan out my VHS tape copy of it to trainees and tell them it was a 'training film' they could watch at home. I always loved seeing their jaws drop when I told them later that everything in the movie was based on truth. As far as I am concerned it had great writing, great direction and great acting. One of my fire service coworkers actually drove the Cadillac ambulance for his company after...

Raquel Welch in a two-piece fur bikini. That and the title is pretty much all anyone needs to know. If that indeed isn't enough, there are the dinosaurs of technician-artist Ray Harryhausen (along with some superimposed iguanas), and a prologue that tells you all you want to know about this "brutal world." Want more? There are volcanoes, barehanded wrestling with warthogs, and rival, subhuman, cannibalistic tribes--Lord, the list goes on and on! The portrait of humankind isn't the most flattering: we're petty, greedy, we grunt a lot, and we don't play well with others. Welch portrays a cavewoman from the tribe of the Blondes trying to make a life for herself with an outcast from the tribe of the Brunettes, which doesn't sit well with anybody. --Keith SimantonMore Info About This DVD Actor(s): Raquel Welch Director(s): Don Chaffey DVD Release Date: Released the 09 March 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

We can safely call it one of the most notorious films in Hollywood history: Myra Breckenridge, the wild, tasteless, legendary disaster. Sprung from a novel by Gore Vidal, Myra tells the tender tale of a man (damply played by film critic Rex Reed) who has a sex-change operation and goes to Hollywood as a woman--played by Raquel Welch. Mae West creaked out of retirement to play a man-hungry agent (one of her meals is young Tom Selleck), and John Huston is an aging cowboy star, Myra's nemesis. To say the movie endorses the destruction of sex roles in modern society would be giving the rampant incoherence too much credit. Old film clips, plus footage (all too apt!) of atomic bomb tests are spliced into the action, to puerile effect. Almost everybody involved with the film...

Alexandre Dumas's adventure has been adapted to film more than a half-dozen times, but never with more swashbuckling energy and humor than in this version of The Three Musketeers, directed by Richard Lester (with a screenplay by George McDonald Fraser). Lester infuses the tale of bumpkin D'Artagnan's efforts to join the musketeers with a solid sense of the period, but also finds great slapstick wit in the action. The swordplay is wonderfully unpredictable precisely because his characters are human and prone to miscues and misjudgment. He also has assembled an amazingly varied cast--including Michael York, Richard Chamberlain, Oliver Reed, Charlton Heston, Christopher Lee, Faye Dunaway, Raquel Welch, and British comic Spike Milligan--for the tale of how D'Artagnan befriends Athos,...
