Has anyone here ever seen this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Start_the_Revolution_Without_Me
Is it as dire as I fear it'll be, or is it a hidden gem, a 'Blazing Saddles' of the French Rev ? The cast looks excellent, though that's no guarantee of quality because a lot of good actors paid the rent with some truly excremental movies in the 1970's (and Orson Welles advertised lager). The working title was 'Louis, there's a crowd downstairs'. The links also mention another in a similar vein, Cheech and Chong doing 'The Corsican Brothers', which I'd never heard of either, but I've never been able to sit through a Cheech and Chong movie anyway.

I do like Carry On Don't Lose Your Head, though: it's a piss-take on the Scarlet Pimpernel films and managed to get a naughty word past the censors (oo-er missus!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTCe3RBoOLk&feature=related

Hahaha. I got off the plane and thought - oh good, it's so nice out! I suppose you know the New England winter is bad when you're happy to go back to Scotland where it's 'warm'...
