5.0 out of 5 stars Vanna and Gene will set fire to your screen, August 20, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Gypsy Angels [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I understand that when most people think of Gypsy Angels their first thoughts are of gameshow goddess Vanna White. The discerning movie lover, however, will understand that it is the astonishing performance of Gene Bicknell that makes this movie one for the ages. Bicknell plays attorney-turned-stunt pilot Jeff Turner in a performance that was unforgivably ignored by reviewers all around the world. In the story, Bicknell brings out the humanity of Turner who tells the establishment to go to hell as he decides to follow his dreams of being a stunt pilot. Along his travels he meets Mickey, Vanna in her first English speaking role, a down and out stripper on the way to nowhere. Against all odds they fall in love. Yes, its a story as old as love itself, but Bicknell and White manage to bring a quiet dignity to each of their roles. Like the great Apocalype Now, Gypsy Angels manages to string one great scene after another. For example, the surreal fight scene between Jeff and a seedy night club owner as Jeff fights for Mickey honor. This scene, almost Kubrikian in nature, draws a stark contrast to the tender love scenes between Mickey and Jeff. Plot twists a plenty, this story will take you to places in your own heart that you've only dreamt about. Are you a fan of tearjerker love stories, or maybe you just really like Wheel of Fortune, either way this movie has earned its right to be on your must see list.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice characters, OK story, August 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gypsy Angels [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Honestly, the only reason I rented this movie was to see Vanna White, and maybe in the buff. I wasn't disappointed. The love scenes are tender and brief, but you do get a glimpse of Vanna's great assets. She is a beautiful woman. She's not a bad actress either. She should have done more pictures.
I can't tell if this is pre-Wheel of Fortune, but the movie certainly looks and sounds dated, early '80s. It reminded me of Bobby Jo and the Outlaw, the only flick I know that Lynda Carter fully revealed the bosom that was jiggling most wonderfully in Wonder Woman.
That aside, it is a nice story. No Oscar winner, but you care about what happens to the characters. The guy who plays the stunt pilot doubles up as singer on some of the songs on the soundtrack.

"Because have I had the option to pick 0 stars I would have done so......"



Let me start by saying I don't own "nor would I" this movie, I rented this film years ago from a now defunct video store (aren't but a few of those good ole video stores left these days) and rented it once, I will tell you this, I could have thought of a much better script and even have done so high on Marijuana or Cocaine, rather smoking or snorting would have made no difference.

The only part that has any type of film sense would be the very beginning of the film when the guy quits is job and empties his briefcase down the stars from the office he worked in.

As for Vanna, well she's never been known for saying that much,and she's really no differnt in this movie. So now, I know why she has arguably the easiest job in the world.
