Movie Reviews of Car Wash
Movie Review: Car Wash
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been a fan of Car Wash since it came out in the theater when I was a teen. It played a 2nd bill with of all things Hitchcocks last flick FAMILY PLOT (horrible!) But Car Wash was just down right funny. I went back many times to see it. They would always promise to finally show it on TV but it never happened till the early 80's--at least in L.A. when they showed it on KTLA I believe. That version they cut almost 45 minutes of the movie out, mostly Antonia Fargas (being Gay was still too much for TV then) part and replaced it with extended scenes of the Hamburger stand next door. In the original movie the stand is cut quite a bit, just barely there which is as it should be, it's about a Car Wash, right? Still it was interesting to see extra footage of Danny DeVito as the hamburger stand owner. The TV version and all later releases cut a few scenes like the end with Melanie's date not being all it's cracked up to be. I don't know why they don't restore the movie to it's original cut and then add the other stuff as fun extras but I don't think they love this movie as much as the fans do. We all need to find a 35 mm print of the original film and get a transfer going so we fans can enjoy the movie as we remember it.
Movie Review: It's only full screen!

My nephew worked a part time job at a car wash down yonder in the Sunshine state of Florida. I sent the Dvd to him as a gag gift. By the time it arrived at his home he had already moved on up to a job with a dry cleaners, standing on the corner while wearing a clown suit and waiving at the passing cars. The pay sucks, but he gets to take the clown suit home. Nice, eh?
His father told me he's trying to land still another job. He wasn't clear about the details--something about a shovel and elephants.
Movie Review: Great movie, DO NOT BUY THIS DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
Carwash is a classic film in its own genre. However, the DVD version is cut. If you watch the Television broadcast version (Such as on BET: Black Entertainment Television) you will see the original scenes that were in the original theater version. For instance, the scene with Danny DeVito in a jealous rage with his wife is NOT on the DVD. Nor is: The Hooker watching the apology; the extended bus scene; and NOT EVEN THE TOUCHING ENDING WITH MARSHA (Melanie Mayron). I strongly encourage you to act on this DVD deciet by contacting Universal @ DVD Manufacturing 10 Universal City Plaza Universal City, CA 91601. You can't email them because they don't recognize Carwash in their online library. Another note; The "Widescreen" addition is NOT widescreen.Movie Review: Bad choice

Once again I've got disappointed with the service Amazon provided me.
Although I have bought the product and followed all the instructions, for some unknown reason the product arrived at the destinatio delayed and my friend, who was supposed to receive it, had already left the hotel.
Considering that I live in Brazil - quite far from you - you can imagine how frustrated I got when I realized i would not watch the DVD.
So far i have not received any reimburse for my purchase, delivered delayed not by my fault.
