Episode 41: Mr. No Legs featuring Toby Goodshank
38 Plays2 months ago
Chris and Greg are joined by long-time collaborator and friend Toby Goodshank, who shines a light on the unfortunately forgotten Mr. No Legs (1978). It's a film that holds many delightful surprises, just like Mr. No Legs hides the shotguns in his wheelchair. It’s a quadruple-barrel blast of action and fun that’s definitely not depressing, or at least only depressing in that distinctly 70's way. And just who are these Danger Angels? Tune in and then join us Sunday for a screening of Mr. No Legs-- it's not to be missed.
"Killers Die Hard" performed by Toby Goodshank, produced by Frankie Sunswept

Introduction to Hosts and Guest
00:00:39
Speaker
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to your favorite bad movie podcast, the only podcast that's brave enough to ask the question. If this movie's so bad, why do you like it so much?
00:00:52
Speaker
We're your hosts. My name is Chris Anderson. With me, as always, I have the Ken to my Lou, Mr. Greg Bossi. Hello. How are you doing this week, Greg? Doing all right. I'm trying to remember who Ken and Lou are in the context of this film. And the honest truth is, don't know. OK, well, they're major characters. Sure. I don't doubt that. Yeah, it'll all come rushing back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we do, in fact, have the Gwen to my Andy, Anna here today, but they will be joining up with us a little bit later on in the show. They'll be doing this week's segment, but for now they're hanging back in the cut.
Why 'The Amazing Mr. No Legs'?
00:01:34
Speaker
And we have ah with us a very special guest.
00:01:38
Speaker
a ah man that I'm proud to call my friend. I'm going to say one of the most talented musicians I've had ever had the pleasure of working with. One of the most ah incredible artists whose work I've ever had mine appear alongside. And also just one of the genuinely nicest people I've ever met in my entire life. I am not bullshitting you when I tell you I am introducing Mr. Toby Goodshank. Toby, how are you? Hello. Hello. Hi, everybody. I'm great.
00:02:08
Speaker
ah Thank you for that intro. Gosh, am I the D'Angelo to your whatever Mr. No Legs's name actually is? Yeah, you're you're the D'Angelo to my No Legs, absolutely. Not just because of your Italian background, but because you are a genuine boss. It's so good to have you here. I was so happy to be here. And you chose this week's movie, Mr. No Legs. Also known as the amazing Mr. No Legs, as it has a bunch of different names. Sure.
00:02:37
Speaker
the gun. Oh, I'm sorry, gun fighters. ah ah Well, I have them all written down. But listeners, if you haven't seen
Toby's Discovery of the Film
00:02:46
Speaker
amazing Mr. No legs, and ah you want just a brief summary of the plot to hold in your mind. ah Don't worry, I've got your back.
00:03:01
Speaker
Detective Andy and his partner, Detective Chuck, investigate the death of Andy's sister, but get in hot water when the investigation leads them to a dope smuggling ring in the midst of a civil war led by an enforcer who's had both his legs amputated. Fair enough? Yeah. Totally.
00:03:24
Speaker
Now, Toby, you chose The Amazing Mr. No Legs. You chose this one right off the dome. No hesitation. What drove you to pick Mr. No Legs? I feel like, you know, I have since found a couple of online reviews, but I feel like information about this movie in general is scant and I... I agree. I'm a fan. I'm a fan.
00:03:53
Speaker
um I thought it would be cool to shed a little light on this weird, kind of, homespun feeling movie. Yeah, yeah, it does have a real ah outsider quality to it. Most assuredly. and What's interesting about that is how much of the the make filmmakers are insiders. Interesting. And I'll get to that once we get to the context. But ah Greg, had you had you seen this one before?
00:04:24
Speaker
I had not. I'm curious, though, Toby, how did you come
Unique Elements and Rico Browning's Involvement
00:04:27
Speaker
to this? Like, how did you watch this for the first time? What led you to Mr. No Legs? Well, I um our mutual friend Preston Spurlock one night was showing me some films by the actor Wang Wang okay from a For Your Height Only and other such spy thrillers. And I think I was just ah poking around online and ah the amazing Mr. No Legs was a like a little sidebar recommendation. And i I think I watched the trailer at that point and was like, Oh, kind of fine. But you know, I have ah of a long, shameful list of things to watch. So yeah, add it into the file. And then um sometime later, I'm a big, big fan of the the movie Creature from the Black Lagoon. Oh, yeah, it's classic. And then when
00:05:18
Speaker
The fella who portrayed the creature in the underwater scenes, Rico Browning, was ah his health started to fail and his family put out sort of a call to send him fan mail, which I did. And then I was sort of again poking around online and saw it was like, oh, he directed a movie. That's crazy. And then saw that it was oh her legs. And I was like, well, yeah. ah Was it, you know, and all of a sudden it bumped its way up to the top of the list, bought that Blu-ray. And now it's just kind of, you know, so you how is the Blu-ray looking? Both of us watched like, yeah, for quality online yeah copies. Did they do any kind of cleaning up a restoration on it? They tried. And it still looks like it was filmed on an actual turd. It's very. Yeah.
00:06:06
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, you can only do so much. and Yeah. Rainey out of focus. Legend has it they found a print that was like not so beat up somewhere in France. And that's where the but the bulk of the DVD was transferred from. And then um I guess the French version edited some of the crazier parts. I don't know. So so yeah they I don't know what they'd have left. I don't know. yeah If it's not crazy, it's definitely not interesting. Yeah. So they put some ah like a that they injected like video of the crazy parts that had been edited out from some other even shittier print and then. That's a real hybrid cut. Yeah, totally.
00:06:50
Speaker
Yeah. Uh, yeah. And the reason I asked is because I was curious and I have really no, uh, no interaction with Mr. No legs. I had no idea what it was until I was trying to find it for this podcast. Uh, I was happy to see something from the seventies though. I got to say I like bad movies from the seventies. So I was like, yes, we got a seventies movie. What is Mr. No legs? Yeah. And I think it definitely delivered on seventies aesthetics. oh really fool They did it ever boy. Did it ever get the mustaches? You got a Camaro, you get,
00:07:20
Speaker
Yeah, you have a room filled with fur.
00:07:26
Speaker
Yeah, that room is absolutely incredible. Yeah. Oh my God. Anyway, my personal context, I remember this was one that I heard the name of a lot back in my video store days and the name, it seemed like it was kind of going to bum me out. Like it seemed like it was going to be interesting. I was like, Oh, is this also going to be kind of a bummer?
00:07:47
Speaker
You know, and it was definitely not as big. It was not a bummer, actually. I think it was actually pretty cool in terms of its depiction of Mr. No Legs, other than him not getting a real name. Right. ah But, you know, I think if it was not bad. And I'm excited to to get Anna's thoughts when they pop in later on on this as disability portrayal.
00:08:11
Speaker
ah But and and I also don't know why I was on my high horse, because in high school I was over the moon in love with a movie called The Crippled Masters. So I don't know where that came from.
Initial Reactions to Bizarre Plot
00:08:25
Speaker
Maybe it was an attempt to distance myself from my old me. Maybe. And and honestly, if someone wanted to complain about Mr. No Legs, i it's not like I could say you don't have a point. But, and you know, I thought it was fine.
00:08:41
Speaker
I had a great time watching it. Nice. Yeah, I enjoyed myself. Well, you guys want to hear my context research? Please. Yes.
00:09:32
Speaker
So Mr. No legs came out in 1978, also known as the amazing Mr. No legs gunfighter killers die hard, which is probably the best that's a great name. Yeah. And dope runners die hard. Also, yes ah it it was directed by Riku Browning with one of the taglines that I found. I think there were a couple, but ah there was one don't cross him or he'll cut you down to size.
00:10:02
Speaker
Nice. Yeah, it works. Now, ah Riku Browning was born on February 16th, 1930 in Fort Pierce, Florida. After getting a degree in physical education at FSU, he got work
Memorable Action Scenes
00:10:20
Speaker
diving in local water shows and also underwater shows.
00:10:24
Speaker
Uh, he's six foot, three and a half frame and for proficiency in diving, got his foot in the door of Hollywood when he was cast as the Gill Man in the underwater scenes in Creature from the Black Lagoon. From there, he got the bug.
00:10:40
Speaker
He started working in TV in Florida, in the Florida area, in all sorts of capacities, mostly directing underwater second unit stuff. If you needed somebody to, ah you know, take care of your underwater sequence for your TV show, Riku Browning was your man. But he got his big break when he co-wrote and co-produced the 1963 film Flipper. Wow.
00:11:09
Speaker
Yeah. ah When that got adapted into the flipper TV series, he directed 37 episodes between 1964 and 1967. I should have in retrospect, at least watched one of his episodes of flipper to compare, but I did not do that. I meant to as well. And yeah, I blew it.
00:11:30
Speaker
And I think also it's strange that there's no, well, there is a little bit of underwater photography in Mr. No Lakes. There's a scene where he fights in the pool. So he does bring that strength to bear at one point. ah but thattata dotta Let's see. ah He got his feature length directing debut in 1973 with the film Salty about a pair of orphans that befriend a sea lion.
00:11:58
Speaker
oh Salty was also adapted for television, so Browning spent 74 and 75 directing 20 episodes of Salty. ah Once that ran its course, he began looking for his next thing. ah He got a little second unit directing work, doing underwater stuff, ah but then he got a call from a producer named George Roberts.
00:12:22
Speaker
Uh, George Roberts never worked in film before or after making Mr. No legs. So I'm not quite sure how this happened, but he's sort of the guy that got the ball rolling with Mr. No legs. Okay.
00:12:37
Speaker
According to Browning, Roberts came to him with an idea for a script. Although what that idea was, he didn't say whether or not involved the guy with no legs. I don't know. Uh,
00:12:49
Speaker
Browning brought on his flipper co-writer Jack Cowden to write the script, which was originally titled Killers Die Hard. Browning brought on his flipper co-writer Jack Cowden to write the script, originally titled Killers Die Hard. Browning says that he brought on actors that he knew, but also some of the actors, such as Ron Slinker, who plays Detective Andy, were friends of Roberts. That explains why Andy is such a shitty actor in this movie.
00:13:17
Speaker
Literally just a friend of the producer. This guy is like two steps below almost everyone else in the movie. I'm going to be honest, I have no idea how Ted Vollrath came to be cast in the title role of Mr. No-Likes. But I do know a little bit about Ted Vollrath. Ted Vollrath was a Marine.
00:13:40
Speaker
At the age of 18, his legs were injured by a mortar shell in battle outside of Incheon, Korea. And they eventually had to be amputated. He did not let this stop him. He began training in martial arts in 1967. He soon became the first wheelchair user to earn a black belt in karate, um and then would go on to be ranked a seventh degree black belt in Taekwondo and a 10th degree black belt in Ishin Ryu karate dough.
00:14:10
Speaker
So cool. Yeah. In 1971, he founded Martial Arts for the Handicapable Incorporated, an organization dedicated to training, educating, and advocating for the benefits of martial arts for disabled people. And in 1998, he was inducted into the Pennsylvania Karate Hall of Fame. That's incredible. yeah So all in all, it sounds like Ted Volrath was a very awesome dude. Yeah.
00:14:37
Speaker
you know, it's it's little wonder that it was decided to change the name of the movie to Mr. No legs. He's obviously the star anytime he's on screen, you can't take your eyes off him. And he's the only thing that makes the film even mildly interesting.
00:14:55
Speaker
Even though his role is technically just highest ranking henchman, Sure. Now, Mr. No Legs was released on March 14th in 1978, which was a Tuesday, which seems like a weird choice. That's a very weird choice. I can't find any information about how it did, but I can say that the number one film in America at the time was Star Wars. OK. I don't think it it did very well against the competition. Probably not. I don't think a lot of people were picking up the listings in the paper and saying, Mr. No Legs or Star Wars.
00:15:30
Speaker
Mm hmm. a concept. A coin toss. Now, other action films of 1978. Star Wars had been, I believe, a holdover from 77, if I'm correct. But we got also ah Superman the movie. OK. Every which way but loose. That's a classic. Yeah. Yes. You've got to have Clint Eastwood and that monkey together at last. Every which way but loose.
00:16:01
Speaker
client You got ah Drunken Master, classic, Stone Cold classic. like ah The Five Deadly Venoms, another Stone Cold classic. You've got Convoy, starring Chris Christopherson. That's a classic. of And you've got Hooper, starring Burt Reynolds.
00:16:27
Speaker
Have you guys seen Hooper? You know, that's a movie I think I forgot exists, but I love Burt Reynolds, so I'd be into it. Yeah. I think he plays a stunt pilot in that one. Sure. He can play anything. And by anything, I mean he can play a certain set of roles.
00:16:44
Speaker
Yeah. He could play an American, I think. Yes. I don't want to see him stretch too much beyond that when he played that king and in the name of the king. Yeah, I'm not alive and thinking about that the entire time and just kind of delightfully smiling to myself. So, yeah. Well, that's all I had for context
Confusing Plot and Character Motivations
00:17:04
Speaker
research. You guys want to talk about the plot? Let's get into it. OK.
00:17:53
Speaker
All right, listeners, I want you to strap in because this one gets a little complicated. It's very complicated. I also, before you begin, I want to, did you call me Ken at the beginning of the show? Was that it? Uh, yeah, you're the cat. Now I look at my notes. I definitely know who Ken is. So I was just losing my mind there. So, uh, it's hard to keep track of names in this movie for me. None of the names really pop. Yeah, they don't. Uh, Lou was played by Rance Howard, who is Ron and Clint Howard's father.
00:18:22
Speaker
Well, that's the other the partner to Ken. Lou is Ken's boss. He's the guy that's running the tobacco smuggling. Well, we'll get to it. We'll get to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. We open on a drug operation. Old men are hiding capsules full of dope inside of hand rolled cigars.
00:18:48
Speaker
This, to me, seems like a very stupid plan because tobacco products are famously very heavily regulated and inspected. So, hiding things in them seems kind of, uh, stupid.
00:19:00
Speaker
Yeah,
Cinematic Techniques and Critique
00:19:01
Speaker
that's fair. Yeah, but I guess it's working for them. It's also it's a lot of work to like roll a cigar and you can watch him like roll that thing and it's just like, man, this is ah I mean, obviously smuggling drugs is going to be a lot of work, but it's like this is a. Yeah, they're saying like three Tylenols in each. Yeah, it's weird. it's It's a lot. I mean, this must be that 100 percent uncut dope.
00:19:26
Speaker
what do What do you think that is heroin for 78? I feel like they mentioned heroin by name, no. OK, they might have. an yeah And I mean, they and you see someone shooting up later, so it's like I feel like it's probably going to be heroin.
00:19:40
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, that that white dragon. That horse. That white horse. That sweet, sweet smack. Well, it looks like, unfortunately, the dope smuggling warehouse is running out of dope. But the boss, Lou, he's going to take care of it.
00:20:02
Speaker
We cut to some cops busting some criminals and kicking their asses before our credits roll. This was all a cold open. I know at least one of those cops was Andy. I feel like maybe the other one was Chuck, but I'm not 100% sure. Uh, listed in the opening credits, we see the name Joey shitwood and the danger angels. Yep. That really popped. Yeah.
00:20:29
Speaker
I wrote that I was like, and the danger angels, exclamation point, exclamation point. I believe they're a Florida based stunt team. oh Oh, they're possibly the most the most exciting opening credit I've ever seen in any movie. Yeah. Also, the copy that we watched had the alternate title Gunfighter. What titles did you guys have on your versions? On the on the Blu-ray DVD, it is Gunfighter.
00:20:58
Speaker
I think mine was Mr. No legs. Okay. Okay. Interesting. Maybe the one on archive dot.org is the same one. That's on the blue Ray then. Hmm. Maybe. Yeah. Listeners.
Personal Reflections on Impact and Representation
00:21:10
Speaker
If you want to check this out, you can find it both on ah archive.org. And are your, did you find on daily motion? Yeah. Daily motion.
00:21:20
Speaker
Now, ah after the credits, Lou goes to pick up his shipment of loose tobacco leaves where a supplier is hiding the dope. So this is all tobacco-based smuggling from top to bottom. First we smuggle it into the tobacco rolling plant in tobacco, and then we smuggle it out in the cigars. It's a closed loop. Exactly. The best kind. Yes.
00:21:45
Speaker
ah Now, ah the pair of dock workers who hand over the shipment, they hide part of it for themselves. But little do they know that Lou's associate, Mr. No Legs, is there. And he has got a pair of double-barreled shotguns in the armrests of his wheelchair. This is awesome to me. Yeah. How do you guys feel about Mr. No Legs? I liked him. Oh, love. Like Mr. No Legs, love the shotguns in the wheelchair.
00:22:15
Speaker
Yeah. And he sort of ah unlatches them just by banging on the tops and they fall open. And then there's just four barrels of shotguns pointing at whoever's in front of him. It's it's so intense. It's awesome. Now, no legs. He kills the dock workers. And Lew and his buddy Ken go and unload the shipment onto a nutting truck.
00:22:38
Speaker
That's what that conveyance is called. That's a nutting truck. We use those at the post office. I was excited. OK. Meanwhile, ah meanwhile, the boss of this whole operation, D'Angelo, is having a house party back at his place with a live polka band. That's how you know it's swinging. Yeah. He finds out what's happened and he's very annoyed. He doesn't like when dock workers are getting shot. That's what a hassle now.
00:23:08
Speaker
Now back at the warehouse, Lou gives his assistant Ken a bonus for all the hard work that he's been doing around the drug operation. He's a good kid. He's going to college. Uh, we follow him home where his girlfriend, Tina has found out that he's in the drug business. They have an argument and she falls and hits her head on the TV and dies. Yeah. Lying there on their little Nolium living room floor.
00:23:38
Speaker
Ken calls up Lou and Nolegs and they come on over. Ken reveals that this could turn out to be a big deal because Tina's brother is a cop. So what the three of them do is they inject Tina's corpse with dope and they dump it in a garbage dump. Then just to tie up the final loose end, Mr. Noleg shoots Ken, tells him to dump Ken's body somewhere else. Easy peasy.
00:24:08
Speaker
Bing, bang, boom. Now, as soon the police find Tina's body, Captain Hathaway calls in Detective Chuck, who is not Tina's brother, and has him identify Tina's body, and then tells him, don't say anything to Andy before he calls in Detective Andy, who is Tina's brother, to officially identify her. This all seemed very weird to me.
00:24:36
Speaker
this order of operations. What was Chuck doing there before Andy? Yeah, I'm also I was surprised at how big of a character Andy is and how late he's introduced to this whole thing to the whole picture overall. I'll tell you what I find really interesting about Chuck and Andy. Yeah, they the whole mode of your seems to be Andy getting revenge for his sister. Yeah.
00:25:05
Speaker
But his sister's death was just a tragic accident. yeah And also, he doesn't do anything that impacts the plot in any way. No, no, no. his first His first move is to take a vacation. Andy and Chuck just sort of watch the movie unfurl like a Greek chorus.
00:25:27
Speaker
No, it's ah this is a really interesting movie in that way. as far like Even the title of the movie, it makes sense to me now, but I was just like, I really thought Mr. Nolig's was going to be like the main character. He's like kind of the villain, kind of. I mean, he's obviously a villain, but he's not the villain. No one is the anything in this movie in a way. It's really strange. It's like a Shakespearean tragedy.
00:25:55
Speaker
Yeah. ah It's a series of events that just unfold that it's all just like, man, that's ends in blood. And then the cops show up and go, this was a damn shame. yeah That's the end of the movie. Yeah. Not to jump ahead. Now, Andy goes to drown his sorrows at the local performing arts center. Mm.
00:26:19
Speaker
A band called Mercy plays a song called I Still Remember Love, and it rocks. He gets picked up by his girlfriend, Gwen, who is beautiful and owns an amazing home.
00:26:35
Speaker
For example, they go straight to her bedroom, which is wall-to-wall fur with floor-to-ceiling curtains and floor-to-ceiling mirrors. This is a fuck room. and she Like the whole floor is a bed. Like the level that she's laying on is the same level that you stand on in the doorway. Like that whole room is a bed. It's crazy. It's a wild room.
00:27:02
Speaker
I want to say as good as it would be to have sex in that room, it would be that bad to have to clean that room. Yeah. I feel like taking care of all that fur would just be such a hassle. It would start smell bad real quick in there. Yeah, probably. I feel like but she everything from the 70s and ripped it up pretty quick, probably for those reasons. Yeah, because it all started to stink pretty fast. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. There's a lot of texture in there.
00:27:32
Speaker
mrs But she also had like this amazing wood panel, the living room and this beautiful pool out back. She really owned a beautiful. She's a um a very nice house. Very nice. And he's doing great for himself. He sure is. Now, the next day, Chuck goes to pick up Tina's stuff from her dorm room. It turns out, though, she wasn't living on campus anymore and she has a forwarding address. So it goes to check that out.
00:28:02
Speaker
This is why you wanna keep your address up to date with the post office, everybody. I'm always saying this. And ah he goes to check it out, and he sweet talks his way past the landlady, and it gets into Ken's apartment. This turns out she's been living with Ken. I love that the police haven't done this yet. No, I mean, this is the police doing it. I guess that's fair. He's doing it right now. That's fair. do You really wanted him to do it before the guy in the movie did it? Maybe.
00:28:32
Speaker
Someone already did this for you, Chuck. OK.
00:28:38
Speaker
Now, ah he goes inside and he recognizes it as a murder scene. The Smash TV is there. There's a big mess. ah But he also finds a photo of Ken. And so he brings it to his captain ah to see if the captain could find if there's anybody like that down in the morgue. I don't know why that's the captain's job, but I guess it is. Yeah.
00:29:01
Speaker
Now, back at D'Angelo's house, no legs. He's sort of just hanging out and training up and practicing with his shuriken. He's just being kind of awesome. He's doing like pushups on his wheelchair with that where he's just sort of planking. It's incredible. And and no legs. The guy that played him, whose name I've already forgotten, Ted Bullrath.
00:29:27
Speaker
Ted Volrath. God, he has built like a Mack truck, this dude. Yeah, he is. You could tell this was used when he was a Marine. He was a bad dude. Totally. I felt like his his hair in his general vibe reminded me a little bit of ah ah hart Javier Bardem's character from No Country for Old Men. He was sinister in a.
00:29:49
Speaker
Similar way to me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Chillingly evil with this. Yeah. This swept blonde side part. very camped Now D'Angelo finds out that his trustworthy employee, Ken is dead and at Mr. No legs hands. D'Angelo accuses no legs of getting sloppy and no legs accuses D'Angelo of getting soft. Maybe they've go got a point. Hmm.
00:30:19
Speaker
Now, ah Detective Chuck and Detective Andy have hooked up and now they're on a stakeout. They're going to go meet up with Andy Snitch at the Seven Seas Club to see if she has any information on what's going on. Unfortunately, they never occurred to them that she might already be inside, which she is. And while she's inside, she gets into a sort of racially motivated mutual murder.
00:30:48
Speaker
Yeah, that was an interesting scene. Yeah. They're just ah the the white lady calls ah the black lady the N word and then they end up stabbing each other to death. No, no. So so what actually happens is the bottle breaks and the white lady kills the black woman. And then she's running away. Mr. Noleg stabs her in the stomach with a knife. OK. So, yeah, they're both dead now.
00:31:20
Speaker
Uh, when checking, it was great. Yep. Yeah. Here. They hear the brew. Ha ha. So they go inside to see what's going on. Uh, only to find that there's a full on barroom brawl and two dead women, uh, detective Andy karate kicks a couple of people before they sort of shrug their shoulders and leave no no particular interest in the two dead women. They're just police. That's somebody else's job. Exactly. What they're here for somebody.
00:31:50
Speaker
You know how everybody in, how in every homicide show, they'll be like, I don't care about any drugs. I'm homicide. And these guys are like, I don't care about homicide. I'm going after no legs.
00:32:02
Speaker
Also, I want to point out that during that whole scene, I think that, um, this is like a huge fight, as I recall. And then the cops come in, they're like, look at these dead bodies anyway. Got to go. And then they're like, cut to the bartender. And he just like, man, this is a damn shame. And it's just like, the bartender has just been here the entire time. He's just been hanging out for the whole fight. And the cops came in, saw the dead body and just walked out and he's like, man, this is wild. That's crazy. I love it.
00:32:30
Speaker
Now, meanwhile, Lou is worried that the cops are getting to too close. So he conscripts Buddy to go steal Ken's unidentified corpse from the morgue. The best way they can think to do this is to steal an ambulance and then roll up the hospital, kind of like what you might do if you're playing Grand Theft Auto IV. Yeah, that's not a bad move. No, it did it's not the worst plan of ever. I would have stolen a hearse. That's fair.
00:33:01
Speaker
They drive over to the morgue, but they end up blowing their cover with the medical examiner, in part because Detective Chuck and Andy are also on their way down to the morgue at the same time. Lou and his friend run off, and but without the body, and now Chuck and Andy know that they're getting close to something. Boy, they're about to almost do something in this movie. Maybe.
00:33:29
Speaker
To hit home how close they're getting, they get a phone call from a guy named Sammy, telling them to head over to the Seven Seas Club to get some more information about the case. No legs then kills Sammy. Chuck and Andy go to the Seven Seas where they get jumped. Somebody grabs a sword off the wall and starts attacking Andy in his car with it. This is great stuff.
00:33:53
Speaker
I don't think I've ever seen a sword versus car fight like this. The only other one I can think of at all is the one from ah Matrix 2, which is a very different vibe. but Yeah. This is a much more realistic take. I'm trying to fight a car with a sword. Yeah, yeah. And the guy in the car is just doing donuts while you're whacking it with the sword. It's great. It was a pretty wild scene, yeah. Now,
00:34:20
Speaker
You know, just in case people who who hear this movie, right, they hear about Mr. No Legs and they think the only crazy thing in it is going to be that there's just a guy in a wheelchair. And, you know, that's a weird thing just to watch a movie about and have that be the only crazy thing. There's a lot of crazy things. now There's there's there's a lot. There's plenty of it seems like it's very boring or like very mundane and kind of calm. And then suddenly something happens. You're like, I'm sorry, what? It's wild.
00:34:48
Speaker
Yeah, it throws just haymakers at you every now and then. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It'll bully over. Now, eventually, Andy gets out of his car and Karate fights the guy who had the sword and then kicks him back onto the car, which had been impaled with the sword. So the guy dies. You get the idea now.
00:35:12
Speaker
Also, one of them almost gets taken out by no legs. So now that they know that no legs is involved, they got to look into a guy with no legs. So they get into Chuck's car, which was not chopped with a sword. And they realize that no legs is a dude that lost his legs working for D'Angelo. So they can tie this all to D'Angelo. There you go.
00:35:38
Speaker
And they also realized that their boss, the captain, is on the take. I kind of forgot how, but they figured it out. They got the clues. he I know one of them was that like he knew that he was like you're looking for the Wilson boy and it's just like you shouldn't know his name but they don't reveal that he revealed that at the time whenever he confronts him but I don't know what I can't remember what particular like when he said that at the time was like oh did you do that I didn't catch that ah but like I don't know what moment now led to them being like yeah that's our man but I remember them talking about it
00:36:12
Speaker
You just sort of had to roll with it like, oh, they figured it out. The captain's on the take. Okay, fine. ah Meanwhile, at D'Angelo's place, both D'Angelo and no legs tell their respective henchmen that they're going to betray the other one. and like It's time for me to betray no legs and no legs. It's time for me to betray D'Angelo. So things are coming to a head on that front. Hmm.
00:36:36
Speaker
While Chuck and Andy tail the captain, D'Angelo's goons make their move. What they didn't realize is that Mr. No legs is not a dude to be fucked with. No. He throws a shirk in that he had stashed on the side wheel of his wheelchair. He is punching dudes. He's getting into the chair. He's out of the chair. He's hitting a dude with his butt, which I feel like that's a classic move. You had to see that one coming. I don't think it would be very effective in actual combat, but now it looks good.
00:37:12
Speaker
And at one point, some dudes grab him and throw like they all fall into the pool together. And my wife at that point cried out, No, Mr. No legs, because obviously, God, he doesn't even he likes he's gonna be a distinct disadvantage. But instead, he chokes another dude out and then swims to the side and he's doing just fine. He's doing just fine. He takes out like six dudes. It's awesome.
00:37:38
Speaker
Uh, so after he's escaped and presumably changed into some dry clothes, he heads over to the warehouse where D'Angelo is meeting with the captain. All of our puzzle pieces are now together. We're ready for our finale at the warehouse. No legs shoots D'Angelo. The captain shoots no legs and detective of Chuck and detective Andy arrived just in time to see the captain drive away. Hmm.
00:38:05
Speaker
This begins a absurdly long card chase at the end of the film. This car chase is incredible. What did you guys think of this car chase? Talk to me. Give me your thoughts.
00:38:20
Speaker
I said vehicle chase actually solid because I was just like watching. I was like, this is actually really good. Actually, like this is this is this is they knew what they were doing and they're doing it super well. Like that's going to be the danger angels. You got to figure. Yeah, that will make sense. That would make some sense. Yeah, I agree. I feel like it was well thought out ah visually. Awesome. yeah It was all very clear. Yeah.
00:38:47
Speaker
Uh, but boy, did it go on for a long, like anytime he, the captain would be driving along, right? And like racing through the streets. And then I, you'd see, uh, they'd cut to like a really quick closeup of the radio dispatcher from this one scene. Oh yes. Yes. Which was like.
00:39:06
Speaker
He's heading down Lincoln car 98. We need you. And then they'll cut to like a 56 year old man in this giant like Pontiac of a police car, just backing out of a place. And then you see them catch up to the captain and then crash their car in some spectacular way. And that happens like six times in a row, like six thirty great car chase. Yeah. Every time you think it's the last one, there's another one.
00:39:35
Speaker
Yeah. And it's always cutting back to this woman and not well, they're not cutting back. Well, like they could make it more exciting, but it's like cut. I need so and so it's just like, yep. You could cut it a touch tighter. You can go a little tighter on that editing. If you want to increase that tension a little bit, this is really crazy.
00:39:51
Speaker
Yeah, or carry over the audio from one to the other. it's a very He uses close ups in the strangest way. There are a lot of times in this movie where you will just suddenly cut to a close up of a character we have never gonna see again, like they don't seem to be worthy of a close up and half the time they don't say anything. They just sort of like half nod. Yes, it's and the the cut is always really short and jarring. Yeah, it's a really strange signature for a guy to have. But anyway, the captain drives into several blocks of ice in a another in our probably seventh spectacular crash of the car chase before slamming into another cop car.
00:40:38
Speaker
I love that it's ice, which is, I think something I've never seen a car crash into before, really. Yeah. I was excited to see what would happen it was really cool when I saw the blocks of ice, like what's going to go on? Yeah. Listeners, if you want to hear me talk more about ah car crashes, check out our episode about ah Canada's worst driver season nine. I believe that's episode 38.
00:41:04
Speaker
So after the captain has crashed, Chuck and Andy roll up and the captain is already pretty much dead. And he says with his dying breath, I had nothing to do with Tina's death. And indeed, pretty much no one in the entire film did. And that really hit. Yeah. To have that be his last line really hits on like this whole movie, everything that happened was pointless.
00:41:32
Speaker
No, like I wrote down, I was like, what was the plot of this movie? Like by the end of it, I was like, what were the events that started this off? And how did those events relate to these events? I don't actually know if I remember. No, I definitely two thirds of the way through, I wrote down who is Andy trying to get revenge against? Like who? Yeah. Who does he hate here? Who is this? When you say like this time, it's personal. Like, is it really? Yeah.
00:42:03
Speaker
seems so abstract at this point. It's just such a bizarre little picture. Well, final thoughts, five star ratings. Who wants to go first? Oh, I'll go. i Oh, please do. I think it's great. um i yeah So many cool moments. it kind of you know yeah I agree that it's For me, it was like a little hard to follow the plot. It's dreamlike and maybe not the best way.
00:42:33
Speaker
but ah Super cool. um Yeah, I love Mr. No Legs. Love the half-assed sort of heroin dealing that's going on. Anyway, i would ah I would give this a four out of five stars. I think that's completely legitimate. What about you, Greg? Where did you wind up?
00:42:57
Speaker
So I'm torn on this one. I think I'm going to go. So I almost want to bump it up to three and a half after talking, but I think I'm going to keep it at three. And the reason I'm the reason I'm doing that is just like it's.
00:43:10
Speaker
What I'll say is that I think Mr. No Legs is kind of a big ask, like for your average viewer. okay that's barrows For those who can withstand the question, the answers are incredible. You know what I mean? Like if you, if you know, this takes a, you got to be a certain type to want to see this movie of this quality ah that is sometimes just like, what is it actually occurring but like if that's what you're into and you are willing to ah sift through it there's so many diamonds in here like the moment that that room shows up it's so hilarious because it's just oh yeah it like doesn't make any sense in the context and there's so many weird moments where like that where you're just like why are we doing well how did we get here
00:44:00
Speaker
Like there's a lot of joy in this movie. It's just that some of it is going to be for the person who's got a little patience when they watch movies. well I ah went ahead and I gave this one four and a half stars. oh wow okay i I really enjoyed it. i really I thought it was briskly paced. I thought it was filled with like little delights. There was always some little thing to see. and One thing that we always talk about or we talk about a lot in terms of movies like this that are filled with sort of craziness is
00:44:32
Speaker
It makes a difference as they keep on finding new ways to be crazy. That's not just one crazy thing the whole way through. And you hear a title like Mr. No Legs, and you think it's going to be one crazy thing the whole way through. But this keeps on finding new ways to be be wild. And I think that's really important. And I think that really works. And i I also like that it fits into the pantheon of Florida movies to me. Oh, sure.
00:44:59
Speaker
Florida has a very distinct cinema that I would love for us to to examine further maybe do a series of Florida films. We had Miami Connection. Another classic one that I think of a lot is ah Kickboxing Academy, also in Florida. Like it's just this bizarro movie making culture down there that I think is so strange. And I think it it fits in that realm perfectly. Well,
00:45:30
Speaker
My wife, Anna just joined us. Hi, sweetie. Hello. Did you want to give a ah five stars, a final thoughts, anything that you wanted to mention or do you want to just move on to the second? No, sure. I can. Um, I, I think I gave this four stars. Um, yeah, three and a half, four stars. I enjoyed it. It was a, uh, a brisk romp. Um, I, won Mr. No legs was a fascinating character.
00:46:00
Speaker
Mmm. Well, with that, let's let's get your segment. We're going to be talking about trends in film. Nice.
00:46:50
Speaker
Well, i'm inspired by Ted Volrath, i was going to do a segment on disabled actors, but ended up narrowing it down to ah visibly disabled actors, and even more so, I think, um wheelchair using and amputee actors.
00:47:10
Speaker
um Because, you know, disability, of course, is a very wide category. na If you wanted to go with, like, you know, the most common, quote unquote, visible disability for an actor to have is needing glasses. You know what I mean? ah But nobody even thinks of that as a disability.
00:47:32
Speaker
yeah But it's it's much less common to employ ah real wheelchair users, ah often because it's such a common trope for you know the person in the wheelchair to stand up dramatically at some point because they've been.
00:47:53
Speaker
faking all along um or because there's a dramatic moment and they need to rise to the occasion. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And you can't do that with somebody who needs a wheelchair most of the time. And um yeah it's also uncommon to cast ah probably real amputees. Or I would also mention like probably people with facial deformities with um is notable currently because um Sebastian Stan, um ah he just won a Golden Globe for Best Actor for A Different Man.
00:48:30
Speaker
um while his co-star Adam Pearson, who is an actor and activist with neurofibromatosis, that has um it has this extensively affected his face. um yeah Yeah. And ah at he was not he wasn't even at the Golden Globes ceremony. And that kind of sucks. because it like so just I haven't seen the movie, but you know reading the plot, like it's important for him to be who he is, you know, and yeah I do, I'm interested in seeing that. Um, but I did, so I just noted down, I got, um, some notable, uh, wheelchair using and amputee actors. Um, from last week, actually from shallow hell had the wheelchair using actor.
00:49:20
Speaker
of Renee Kirby as Walt, a guy with us. Oh, yeah. um And the like the show in the film, terrible film, terrible film. There's another um a late actor named Danny Murphy, who was actually a friend of Peter Farrelly's of the Farrelly brothers. um He was a quadriplegic um due to a diving accident at the age of 18.
00:49:50
Speaker
that Fairly was actually present at the time of the accident. um Apparently, he criticized them for not including disabled actors in Dumb and Dumber. And subsequently, he appeared in ah Kingpin, There's Something About Mary, yeah Me, Myself and Irene and Hallpass. That's a really interesting, um I wish I had known about him when we were talking about you know the Fairly brothers last week and their wanting to You know, they they wanted wanted the film to be nicer than it was, obviously. Ali Stroker is a Broadway actress, primarily, although she's also done a lot of TV. She was the first wheelchair using actor to appear on a Broadway stage in 2015.
00:50:42
Speaker
and Yeah, I'd be doing that. Yeah, she won a Tony for her 8 0 Annie in 2019. Okay. Um, uh, an actor named Daryl Mitchell, who you might know from house party and galaxy quest, uh, after a motorcycle crash, uh, he's subsequently been paralyzed, um, but has still been acting most recently in NCIS, New Orleans and fear the walking dead. Yeah. Fuck him up, Daryl Mitchell. ah Yeah. Yeah.
00:51:17
Speaker
And Marissa Bode played Nessa Rose in Wicked, ah which is apparently the first time a disabled actress has played the character who is disabled to begin with. So, you know, that's nice. Um, yeah. Uh, amputee actors, um, Harold Russell.
00:51:40
Speaker
was a World War II veteran ah with prosthetic hook hands. He did not he did not lose his hands in the war. He lost his hands doing an explosives demonstration. And he was the don't state side. He was the don't. Yeah. But anyway, but he was in um William Wyler's The Best ever Years of Our Lives in 1946, a fantastic movie about like PTSD in World War II vets, something like everybody forgot was possible. Um, but he ended up being, he won the Oscar for best supporting actor for that role. Uh, the first non-professional actor to win. Okay. Yeah. Um, a black Canadian actor named, um, Prince, um, Ponsa rather, um,
00:52:36
Speaker
He was in a ah house fire in 2014, lost both hands, but um has returned to acting. He was in um station 11 of miniseries, which I have not been able to bring myself to see yet.
00:52:53
Speaker
oh Ruth Codd is a young Irish actress, ah has one leg amputated below the knee. She's been in. a couple of the Mike Flanagan um things on Netflix. She was in Midnight Club in the Fall of the House of Usher. Alakwa Cox is a ah deaf Menominee actress um with a partial leg amputation who has ah played the character Echo in the MCU. yeah oh yeah yeah um And the last one I have is um
00:53:27
Speaker
Robert David Hall, who um ah has done a lot of TV, but he played the chief medical examiner on CSI um and i was ah had had both legs amputated below the knee and um his character obviously had the same ah disability. So those are just a few.
00:53:53
Speaker
Nice. Yeah. So don't let Hollywood say, oh, we're putting a guy who is fully limbed in a an amputee role because we can't find any amputee actors. They're definitely out there. Don't bullshit me. Hollywood. Yeah. I'm calling you out with that. You guys want to lighten the mood a little bit with a game? Sure. I'd love to. Anna, do you want to play the game or are you checking out my dove?

01:04:43
Speaker
Now you're messing with my
01:05:05
Speaker
That's right. Congratulations to all our nominees. Who wants to go first? I can go first. Greg, that would be incredible. Yeah, so I'm going to give my I'm going to call this the you didn't have to do that award at the police station. ah There's like a point when the not Andy, but the his partner is just like pulling these things out of this box. It's like this dumb book, um blah, blah, blah, and whatever. And, but you know, just kind of joking around while the stuff in this box. And then he's like, anyway, these are the possessions of that dead girl. And it's just like, well, you didn't have to do that.
01:05:45
Speaker
Yeah, you didn't have to do that. It's true, but it it feels like there are a lot of things in this movie that that you they didn't have to do. Yeah, it's like, well, you didn't have to do that. It's true. He didn't have to do that. I did love that, though. It's just like, I wonder if police officers do that. We're like, look at this dead person's book. It's so stupid. Can you believe that this fucking dead idiot was reading? Can you believe this?
01:06:15
Speaker
What's a book for dumb babies? Exactly. Toby, do you have a Batty Award? Gosh, I'm ashamed to say that I'm not sure what the ah criteria to. It's pretty much whatever you want. Our my rule of thumb if is that there's anything that you wanted to mention that didn't come up organically, that you just shout out anything that's left on the table. The Batty Award is the best chance to do it. any small You want to highlight or anything you just absolutely love or just need people to know about.
01:06:45
Speaker
I feel like we hit on all my favorite moments. um ah One funny thing I did notice was the ah at the Seven Seas Bar, which is the scene of the ah the race riot-esque car fight. And then they they later go back there. um And when they go back, the sign up set outside says, ah beautiful go-go dancer. There's ah here's just one.
01:07:12
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it's a small clip. Yeah. I love the scene where Mr. No legs is doing push ups in front of the bikini clad woman. I feel like she bites her lip. She's like, yeah, it's it's good stuff. Yeah, yeah that was right. And like and I also I liked the the decor of the Seven Seas Club a lot. I like that they had ah mates and bitches as the labels for oh that's hilarious. That's. that's it They just had like a sorted weapons hanging from the wall that's where the guy got the sword he just. Cents now. I noticed the swords that and they were not used during the bar fight and it was like a check offs gun type of a thing yes those were definitely check off swords the swords come back.
01:07:59
Speaker
Well, I'm going to give my Batty Award. I was initially going to give it to the band Mercy, playing at the Performing Arts Center. They had a great like Hammond organ and a guy with a double neck guitar and two lead singers that were dressed like they were going to Carrie's prom. But instead, I'm giving my Batty Award to Mr. Toby Goodshank, our first guest to receive a Batty Award for um covering Mercy's amazing closing credit song, ah Killers Die Hard. Toby recorded Nice. Keeplers die hard for us, and it is our closing credits. I can't thank you enough, Toby. It's so amazing. Recorded it just today. very It came out beautifully.
