It's difficult to describe growing up my entire life thinking my copy of All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 was in fact simply All Dogs Go To Heaven.

The last thing I remember from this property was watching An All Dogs Christmas Carol.

I have located the first movie, which I have never seen.

THE TONE SHIFT. IS. RATHER JARRING, FOLKS.

Imagine if you always thought that The Secret of Nimh 2 was the actual movie The Secret of Nimh... and then one day you saw the original.

i feel like Munchie is made even more uncomfortable to watch by being in HD.

I've never seen it on VHS quality so i can't actually prove it, but seeing everything so clearly feels wrong. I can't even explain it, cause outside of Munchie itself everything looks pretty normal, but the whole thing has this aura of "this shouldn't be, this is wrong"

I blame Dom Deluise

The Cannonball Run (1981)

I was yesterday years old when I learned that Mel Brooks adapted one of my favorite Soviet satirical books, Twelve Chairs by Ilf and Petrov. I found it, downloaded it, watched it, and it's very on par with Russian adaptations I've seen!

A 1 hr 40 mins movie of course cannot contain the entirety of the book's story, so Brooks had to carefully choose which parts of Ostap Bender's adventures made it to the screen, and I think he did his best and came out on the top.

The acting is superb, and Frank Langella feels like a fresh take on Ostap's whole image (the Soviet Ostap had a bunch of costume staples that migrated from one director to the next like peaked cap, striped jacket and a white scarf).

Ron Moody's Vorobyaninov seems to be about the same in both acting and costume, though his behavior grows more manic the further down the list of chairs they go.

Also, loved the alternative ending. Details under the cut.

Both endings see Vorobyaninov losing last grains of his dignity as he lashes out at Ostap, but originally he does so with a knife. Bender's fate is left intentionally dubious, especially given that he appears in the sequel novel called The Little Golden Calf.

In Brooks's version, Vorobyaninov also loses all his dignity but instead of attacking Ostap with a weapon, he resorts to the epileptic seizure trick Bender taught him in Yalta, which in turn draws Bender back in, reinvigorating their partnership.

I wish there was a second movie based on the sequel book, but Brooks never produced it and, since Vorobyaninov is nowhere to be seen in the original, it wouldn't mesh with the movie's ending.
