Probably Ingrid Newkirk's favorite movie

Lee Marvin as an enforcer for the Chicago Irish (?!) mob, Gene Hackman playing a character named Mary Ann, Sissy Spacek (before she started looking like a leprechaun) in a see-through dress, and a fight between a limousine and a wheat harvester- this is what people go to the movies for! OK, maybe just male people. Add a proto-feminist-vegan comparison of the exploitation of animals to the exploitation of women and a great performance by one of the cast members from Plan 9 From Outer Space and you have the most unjustly neglected film of the 70's. If possible, watch it on a bleary, worn-out full-screen VHS copy like I did for for the full sleazy effect. November 16, 2007

Lee Marvin V Gene Hackman

This is a rarely seen movie which basically is a showcase for the great acting of Hackman and Marvin - stoic Marvin taking on out of control pig farmer and sausage maker Hackman in a battle of wills with bizarre overtones.
You have to see Hackman at the end in the slaughter house to really believe it - a cacophony of screaming pigs
being the backdrop to Hackman's demise. July 17, 2007

Sexy Sissy

5 stars for the film's only worthwhile feature, some lovely displays of young sissy's nude bod, especially nice is her opening scene in the hay showing her top to bottom, front and back. her breasts are absolutely perfect. April 28, 2007

Yummy!

SO many of the best films came out of the 70's and this is certainly one of them. Mobsters, sex slave trade, and most of all good ole' country cuisine make Prime Cut a real winner. The photography is beatiful, the direction very cunning, and the performances terrific. A real oddity in some ways, but a great twisted ride for those willing to take the chance on on older film.

Oldy but Goody

This a classic with great acting and some light nudity that was well before its time. Worth a watch or two just so you can brag about having seen it. Gene Hackman, Lee Marvin (at the top of their games) and a very young Sissy Spasick- need more be said?
