1. PANAMANIA
Lou
plays the ancient God Of Mirth, Pan, who was sent on a
mission by
Zeus and was caught in a time eddy that caused him to return to Earth
in
the present day. He does not like what he finds, and absolute hilarity
ensues, as the fun-loving god tries to straighten out the world
problems
in his own hilarious ways.
Bud plays the President Of The United States who is particularly
irritated
by Pan's interference in world affairs.
In the end the fun-loving god is convinced it's best to simply let
mankind follow their own course, and he retires to Mt. Olympus with a
considerable
following.
One of the President's aids mutters, "Well, that's the end of that!"
"Don't count on it!" the President answers, "Don't count on it!"
Not great Abbott & Costello, but good!
2. OH, MY GOD!
Lou is
God! Jack Benny is Gabriel!
God has decided that it is time to bring the world to an end. He comes
down to Earth with Gabriel and presents Himself to Bud, a world famous
t.v. evangelist, and tells him that He's going to end the world in
seven
days and to prepare the faithful. Bud immediately begins to try to
convince
God that mankind is worth saving, and an hilarious set of adventures
ensue.
God finally renigs and decides to give mankind one more century to
straighten
out their act.
The film was not well received by the critics, but the public have
adored it. Very good Abbott & Costello!
1997
1. ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE LITTLE TROUBLEMAKERS
This
is simply pure Abbott & Costello at its very
best! Abbott is
the local truant officer, Lou is his friend, the cop on the beat, and
the
famous gang of little kids are their usual mischievous best.
Some neighboorhood bullies and their obnoxious parents are thrown in
to make things interesting, but the children and the comic duo working
against each other make the film. It is just pure slapstick
hilariousness
that was adored by all who saw it!
2. ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE POWER TEENS
Lou
plays Indestructable Man, or, Indo, to his friends. He has
only
one super power- he can't be hurt. No weapon or force is effective
against
him. He's slow, clumsy, and not too bright.
Bud plays Unibrain, Brainy to Lou. He has the power to join all minds
in his vacinity so that they work as one, enabling them to accomplish
incredible
mental tasks.
These two bumbling super heroes are hired by The Keepers Of The Galaxy
(these guys aren't too bright!) to guard the crystal of unity that
keeps
everything in the universe in harmony.
The evil lord and his cronies, hoping to throw the universe into total
chaos and then come in and take over, steal the crystal. Of course when
all the other evil doers in the vacinity find out they come after it,
too!
To retrieve the crystal Bud & Lou seek the assistance of The
Power
Teens, and comic chaos ensues. It's absolutely GREAT Abbott &
Costello.
Really too bad you have to die before you can see it.
1998
1. ABBOTT & COSTELLO IN THE TRIANGLE
Abbott
is a charter pilot who is flying his passenger, Lou,
from Miami
to The Bahamas, when their plane runs into a strange phenomena and they
find themselves on another world halfway across the galaxy!
They meet several other parties that were caught in the ancient
transport
beam and whisked there, too, and have several zany adventures until
they
finally manage to return home. Excellent Abbott & Costello!
2. THE SCREAMING MIMIS
This
is an Abbott & Costello blockbuster starring not
only the comic
duo, but most of the famous laugh makers residing in the Spirit Realm.
The cast includes Mae West, W.C. Fields, The Three Stooges, The Marx
Brothers,
Laurel & Hardy and on their first appearance in The Spirit
Realm, George
Burns & Gracie Allan!
Two federal agents are sent to investigate the circus of Madame LaBonza
(Mae West) because strange phenomena is occuring whenever the circus
performs.
First there will be a flurry of UFO activity during the circus's
appearance,
and then a few days after the circus has left, people that attended who
are bad natured will have strange screaming attacks, and then their
personality
will totally change. They will become kind and considerate and begin to
do beneficial things for their communities. Crooked politicians will
become
honest. The government fears the whole political system may become
disturbed.
The government agents resemble two individuals currently appearing
in a very popular science fiction t.v. series which we don't think we
need
to name!
The hilarious antics that the circus performers put them through we
leave to your imagination!
***FOOTNOTE***
This Abbott & Costello movie unfortunately has not yet been released in the Spirit Realm. It was just being completed when the tragedy that has struck there began to unfold, and all entertainment facilities were shut down to save energy. Hopefully this situation can soon be resolved, The Spirit World stabilized, the theaters reopened, so The Screamin' Mimis can be shown.
