Remember the angels...., March 10, 2001
This review is from: In God We Trust [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The two men I admire most in this world, thankfully, star together in this film... Mr. Marty Feldman...and the wild and crazy Andy Kaufman... These two are quite a perfect pair, and although we no longer have them with us...we should never forget them, for their humor is perfect like angels! Although Kaufman absoultly takes the film to outragous heights of insanity and greatness, Feldman really rocks this picture! I just discovered this awsome figure of a comedian in "Young Frankenstein" in which his little head and enormous eyes fasinated me beyond anything else in the Mel Brooks spoof. As Ambrose in this film... Marty is the ultimate picture of tender innocence, and it was good to see that the woman he loved could see his sweetness and his radient light in a dark city! So sad to find that we lost such a brilliant man as Feldman... PS. Kaufman is the absolute craziest performer of our time, and if you like his work you'll find this film wonderful! Andy's girl forever, Chrissy

Accurate satire of hypocritical religious sects, November 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: In God We Trust [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Marty Feldman's second directorial effort is about the same as THE LAST REMAKE OF BEAU GESTE. The only difference is that he attacks religion in America and comes up with a gem in Andy Kaufman as Armageddon T. Thunderbird, a televangelist. Also well cast is Peter Boyle who plays a down on his luck bus missionary. All in all, this movie is very funny, but has more serious moments in it than other religious parodies like LIFE OF BRIAN. It is definitely worth renting. And remember: "Where there's string cheese, there's sin."

I waited a LONG time for this movie to cme our on video, September 13, 2003
This review is from: In God We Trust [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie will always be special to me. When a I young, I saw it at least 20 times back in the early 80s when we first got cable. It isn't "Citizen Kane", but is IS a great showpiece for the talents of Marty Feldman, Andy Kaufmann, and Richard Prior. And for me, I always love it when someone takes a shot at the evangelical money grubbers. My only gripe with this video is that for SOME reason, Harry Nilsson's revised rendition of "Good for God" is replaced with some other song, for reasons beyond my comprehension. This bothers me, because I was looking forward to the song the whole time I was watching the film, and you can imagine my dissapointment (and my puzzlement) when it wasn't played. I thought my memory was slipping. However, I have confirmed that for some reason, the song was removed. :-(
