Dirty Mary Crazy Larry

DVD cover.
Finally! I’ve been checking the DVD sites for a couple of years now, hoping that this movie would be released on DVD. It comes out on June 28.

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974) is being released by Anchor Bay Entertainment in what they are calling a “Supercharger Edition” with a few extra features. One is an all new documentary with cast and crew interviews.

As cheesy as it is, this is one of my favourite movies. It’s one of the original car chase films from the early 70s that gave way to the Smokey and the Bandit series. The ending of the film was used each week in opening credits of The Fall Guy (1981-1986) television show, starring Lee Majors and Heather Thomas.

It’s been out of print since the 80s making it a cult favourite by many. The only way to get it was through some “sketchy” archive companies in LA and Texas. I bought a copy several years ago on VHS. It will nice to finally see it in its original format and with Dolby Digital sound.

Man, I can’t believe you haven’t told anybody, yet. You are not always known for your modesty and because I’m officially not blogging this summer I’m going to use this forum to brag about you.
This year’s StockStock Festival poster boy is….Mr. Bombippy hisself!
They wanted a quote for this year’s promotional campaign and asked if he would mind if media people called him for interviews!!!!
Way to go, the husband!
Ask him nicely and he’ll lead you to his brilliant entry, “I Hung My Head”. It’s his inaugral effort is film editing and producing. It’s created from various short cuts of stock footage provided by the StockStock people.
*sniff* I’m so proud.

I was going to wait until the press release was published on the StockStock Film Festival website before I said anything. It will be coming soon.
