Movie Reviews of Rodney Dangerfield - The Ultimate No Respect Collection
Movie Review: A Treasure Trove Of Rodney Dangerfield
Summary: 5 Stars
It's great to finally have so many TV specials and rare concert footage of Rodney Dangerfield available on DVD, but it's a shame that it wasn't released until after he died. Disc 1 contains three ABC TV specials: "It's Not Easy Bein' Me (1981), "I Can't Take It No More" (1983), and "Exposed" (1984). Rodney's skits are very funny, although some of the musical numbers have not aged well. The 1983 special is outstanding, especially the skits "Flashpants" (a spoof of the movie Flashdance), where Rodney plays a male stripper who dreams of being a welder, and "The Party Saver," where Rodney changes from a mild-mannered party pooper to the hilarious life of the party.
Disc 2 contains three HBO specials: "It's Not Easy Bein' Me" (1986), "Nothin' Goes Right" (1987), and "The Really Big Show" (1991). Basically, Rodney acts as host and does some skits in-between standup routines of other comedians. Since the specials aired on cable TV, the language and subject matter are more adult than on the first disc. In the 1986 special, Roseanne plays Rodney's blushing bride and later pregnant wife with hilarious results. Sam Kinison and Jerry Seinfeld turn in outstanding performances. The 1987 special features great sets by Lenny Clarke, Dom Irrera and Andrew Dice Clay. The first two specials were filmed at Dangerfield's nightclub in New York City. The 1991 special was filmed at various comedy clubs and concert halls in California, such as the Improv. None of the featured comedians are famous, and the way Rodney is treated by everyone is not just disrespectful but downright mean. "The Really Big Show" is the weakest special in the boxed set.
Disc 3 could be subtitled the Vegas disc. It starts off with "Opening Night At Rodney's Place" (1989), which was filmed at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas. Tim Allen and Jeff Foxworthy are in top form doing their standup routines. The best skit finds Rodney auditioning for a role in a porno movie, and meeting adult film star Ron Jeremy, which prompts Rodney to declare that all men are not created equal! This is followed by the TV special "This Is Your Life," which was filmed after Rodney's act at the Alladin Hotel in Las Vegas. We finally get to see Rodney's son and daughter from his first marriage. The only non-Vegas segment is an outstanding performance by Rodney on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. After a brilliant routine, Rodney takes a seat next to Johnny. Instead of having a conversation, Rodney keeps firing off jokes, while Johnny can barely get a word in edgewise. The final section is a 1988 concert performance of Rodney's entire act, filmed at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, which is incorrectly noted as being recorded at Bally's Hotel. The video quality is that of a good bootleg, and the crowd is somewhat unresponsive. Still, it's great to be able to see the master at work in Las Vegas.
