Friday Night Obscurity Overload: “Jekyll & Hyde Together Again” Half Dubbed In German
I know what you’re thinking, but bear with me. This video includes shit you’ll never see anywhere else:
1. Mark Blankfield, the greatest physical comedian since Buster Keaton (although you can’t tell from this clip), in an absolutely kitchen-clean print of a hopelessly underrated dumb comedy from 1982 about a kindly surgeon who snorts white powder and turns into a Deranged Disco Freak.
2. George Chakiris. Period.
3. Tim Thomerson (Jack Deth, Dollman) at a time when he still had half a chance of being a slick, romantic lead.
4. The invention of the phrase “Putzpuller Prize.”
5. Possibly the greatest in-your-face, “I Yam What I Yam” male stripping anthem ever written, complete with soul-trio back-up.
6. “Some follow their hearts, I follow my nose. Some put on airs, I TAKE OFF MY CLOTHES.”
Plus, it’s partly dubbed in German, which lends the whole thing an air of disturbing Weimar menace that is absent from the original.
Don’t thank me—it’s Friday.
