Super Fuzz

My copy of this had the same cover and title as shown and was Widescreen without making any changes in the setup. Everyone that enjoys this movie knows it won't win any awards other than make us laugh. The movie although showing it's age, hasn't aged badly. I have seen a number of movies from the same period that were barely watchable because of the dialog and music. This one has aged well. It is still fun to watch. A cop gains superpowers while trying to give a citation in the everglades where all the inhabitants have been evacuated for a rocket test by the government. This test endows officer Dave Speed, played by Terence Hill, with superman like powers. His approach to nabbing the bad guys is more like something out of a Three Stooges short than a police procedures handbook. It helps if you are a fan of Terence Hill and Ernest Borgnine. If you enjoyed this be sure to catch Hill in the "Trinity" movies and "My Name is Nobody" which is a favorite Western of mine with Henry Fonda and Terence Hill. Good quality DVD with some extras and decent replayability. - C. Luster June 25, 2008

Felt like a kid again

If you grew up in the eighties you will remember this from the 1000 times it played on HBO. The movie is as cheesy and corny as you remember it, and that is what will make you watch it over and over again. If you have kids it is a kid friendly movie that you and the children will enjoy over and over. June 1, 2008

THIS IS THE 1980'S CABLE TV VERSION!

With four extra minutes...

And with the opening title of "Super Snooper."

I first saw this film in the theater in the fall of 1981, when I was in 5th grade. And I loved it! A few years later our home was blessed with a Beta VCR. And I became a movie-taping freak! Since I had saved all of my old cable guides, I went back and made a list of every movie I would tape - if they happened to come back on one of the movie channels again. On the top of the list (along with OVER THE EDGE) was SUPER FUZZ.

My prayers were answered on Wednesday May 1st, 1985. SUPER FUZZ came back on cable that month. It was shown on HBO at 1:00 PM CST. Yes, I still have those old cable guides and just confirmed it. I set the timer to record it while I was in school. But when school ended, I rushed home, rewound the tape, and watched it. When it was over, I rewound it and watched it again!

I have probably seen this film (that HBO version) more than 100 times. My poor tape probably wore out. And I can confirm that this DVD (at least the one I bought) IS in fact the same version - with about four minutes of extra footage added.

Now others have said some of the music cues are different. That could be. Although to be honest, even though it has been about seven years since I saw it last (on the pre-recorded VHS tape) I didn't notice any of the music changes. And as for the audio and dialogue, NOTHING has been changed. It's the same audio soundtrack that I remember. Even after all these years, thanks to the repeated viewings I had back in 1985 and 1986, I was able to remember lots of the dialouge - including the inflection of the voices and such.

THIS IS THE SAME VERSION THAT I TAPED OFF OF HBO IN MAY OF 1985!!!

Now if others watched it when it was played in earlier years, then perhaps that particular version was different. I have no idea. All I know is that this particular DVD is the same version (with the four extra minutes of footage) that I taped in 1985.

So I'm happy. I'm thrilled! I now have one of my all-time favorite films on DVD and in widescren. No disappointment here. May 9, 2008

same but different

The DVD I received was within the cover for Super Fuzz, but the title on the DVD and of the movie was "Super snooper" and the title song was super snooper as well. This is NOT the version of this movie I thought I was buying. Someone made a switcheroo and put the European version with terrible music, and so loud you couldn't even hear the dialogue at times. There were also many places where there were no sound effects like the car engine and other regular sounds but only the too loud terrible music from this song and lower, somewhat inaudible dialogue, poorly dubbed. I am very dissappointed that Amazon would sell this title, which I was very much looking forwards to. Shame on whoever ripped me off like this! October 16, 2007

At last....

I've been looking for this film for years! My kids watched it growing up...wore out the VCR tape! What a goofy, fun movie. Glad to see it finally came out on DVD. My kids are thrilled to have it back in the file! September 1, 2007
