1. RAWHIDED
This spoof of the popular t.v. series was the second in the

considered one of the best.

and
no cattle drive will ever be the same again!
Throughout the movie Lou's nemesis is a young bull that is constantly
harassing him.
2. ALL BONANZAD
In this spoof on the t.v. series Bud & Lou play two

hurricane.

As
a matter of fact, they want to relieve them of their heads, but the

The boys are eventually rescued, but not before most of the women on
the island had taken a turn protecting them. As they're sailing away
one

there!"

1. THE MASK OF ZORRO
In a spoof of the popular television series Bud plays the
dashing hero,
Lou plays his bumbling sidekick, and also the stupid Sergeant.
Of course there is a fair maiden to be rescued; actually, two of
them....a
rich heiress and the peasant girl the commandant hires to impersonate
her.
Bud plays a rather straight dashing hero, but it is Lou's antics that
make this the best in this series of spoofs.
In the end of the movie the Commandant gets deposed, the Sergeant gets
the heiress, the hero gets the peasant girl, and his servant gets to
clean
the stable.
2. MAVERICKED
In this spoof on the tv. series Bud & Lou play two
dance hall performers
who are befriended by the two traveling gamblers. An hilarious
adventure
ensues as they try to find a cousin who one of them gave a deed to a

gang
is also after the deed. A chase ensues, which continues through almost
the entire film, and switches from horseback to steamboat to railroad
train
to raging river, and back to horseback!
In the end the deed is safely delivered, and the day is saved, but
not before the audience is rolling in the aisles!
1978
1. THE WILDEST, WILDEST WEST
This spoof of the popular t.v. series is the last in this
series and
one of the few films Bud & Lou play the bad guys.
The heroes are really put to the test in hot pursuit of two bumbling
crooks who have stolen a formula that can, for an hour's time, make
someone
totally transparent. You can imagine the fun the boys have with this
incredible
ability. No one is safe!
In the end the persistent government agents recover the formula but
in the last scene of the movie the last gallon is seen lifting off the
table and floating out the door.
This movie was well received but not considered one of Bud &
Lou's
best in the Spirit Realm.
2. MR. PIP GOES TO MARS
The long awaited sequel to the original "Mr. Pip's Rocket
Ship," was
made only after years of public clamor to bring Pip back. After the
great
success of the western parody movies, Pip was a refreshing change which
the public ate up.
Though Bud appeared as one of Pip's friends many still consider it
one of Lou's solo performances and almost as delightful as the
original.
1979

faces!
