Yeah, it's a good movie! I have seen it, but thanks for posting for the others who haven't. There the call Chris "Crissy Darling, a nick name which really fits him.

I don't know if I have a direct favorite part, but I really think that the waitress who can't leave Chris alone is really tough! It's terrible! Poor Chris! :scary::scary: She really Should pull herself together and I really can understand if Chris reacts with throwing his food right into her face and run away from there. I think I would have done exactly the same if I was Chris! Huh, sometimes it isn't really easy being Chris Lowe!

you have to watch this movie only because of Neil and Chris . If there wasn't for them , it wasn't worth filming at all . I would kill that scenarist , it's an absolute crap. Of course,using of modern technology ( to 80ies) , (typical for PSB )- higer quality . It looks like a big music video, but I , personally ,don't understand the necessity of some scenes in it, such as flaming man , etc.
It has some funny secnes, though . ( fortuneteller)
I am giving 3 points and only because it was Neil and Chris !.

It's sort of excruciating in the first 20 minutes or so, but after that you kind of get sucked in wondering what weird thing will happen next. A lot of it is super-dated now (the scene after the diner where there's a very Michael Jackson-esque dance production number for example)! Why the flaming fella? Because it's ART, man! hahaha
I read somewhere that the flaming man was real. They asked a widow for it, I think he killed himself.
My favourite part is the B&B part too. I love Dredge and all the people not liking his jokes. I like how Chris throws the food in that woman's face. It's only a laugh, no harm done!

I'm pretty sure someone is pulling your leg. If a man was really running down the street on fire people would be trying to put him out, not saying "hmm, let me get my camera!" Well, not back then anyway... Now they'd put it up on YouTube or turn it into a reality show. ("Who Wants to Go Up in Flames?!")
Oh , yeah ,Chris throwing the food in woman's face was the funnies moment !! he was really fed with hre attention !
lol that was funny but i read somewhere that they had to use a stunt double to do that scene because Chris couldnt bring himself to do that to the woman (Barbra Windsor)

Chris just posted on the Twitter feed that there are plans to release this on DVD soon! I hope they release it with a commentary track - should be great fun if it has one. Lots of "Groan - what were we thinking?!"
