Come on, how can you resist Bob "Cat" Goldthwait and the voice of John Candy as a talking horse in the same movie? This is one of the unsung heros of the slapstick 80's heyday. It takes me back to memories of Police Academy and Porky's. But somehow it's even better. And Virginia Madson? Don't even get me started!

Well I have said this before, and I will say it again....why isn't this movie out on DVD as a RErelease? It stars Bobcat Goldthwait (Police Academy's 2,3, and 4.), he plays Fred P. Chaney a nobody who's relative dies and leaves him an inheritance with a gifted horse......DON. The word gifted is that he can talk. When Fred finds out about this, not only is he amazed, he's amazed at how rich Don makes him when he finds out about what he knows about the stock market. Fred also finds out that in the inheritance that he owns half of the stocks and bonds in a company that his dead relative's widower wants so much of because he doesn't like Fred and doesn't want him to own it. Played by actor Dabney Coleman (WarGames, Nine To Five), he does everything he can to blackball Fred in losing his share of the company, a girl that Fred meets (Virginia Madsen, Electric Dreams) overhears the scheme and decides to help Fred. Meanwhile, Don decides to get involved to help Fred too, and by doing that he enters himself in a horse race which involves Fred's tricky enemy and his girlfriend which they have their horses as collateral to bet against Fred and his horse that if he wins the horse race, Fred gets everything back, but if he loses he is out. Don wins the race by the tip of his incisor tooth and gets back everything he ever lost. The voice of Don is played by the late actor John Candy and he does a fantastic performance in this. I hope Warner Bros. will RErelease this on DVD cause it is an 80's classic if there ever was one. You'll see some cameo appearances by Tim Katzurisky who played Suichuk in the Police Academy movies with Bobcat Goldthwait so you'll see them playing again together in this. Also Mary Gross from the movie Feds who plays the realtor who shows Fred his new suite that he moves into, and Gilbert Godfried at the end who plays a vet dentist who caps Don's teeth. So enjoy this cool movie it's a great one to see!

This movie had "sequel" written ALL over it. I actually grew attached to these stupid characters. The funniest part HAS to be when Don is talking FOR Fred... "what makes you think you're the man to ride me... I mean to ride Don, haw haw haw"... OH MY GOD, THAT IS FUNNY! I demand this movie make it's way to DVD, cuz I'm stressin' out waitin'.

"I said, it's like that even after I go swimming... toots!"

Classic comedy from 1988. Not as bad as most people say. This is a must have for fans of comedy's such as The Animal, and Duece Bigelo. John Candy and Bobcat Goldthwait are great. Dabney Coleman with the teeth and glasses, will crack you up!!!

This movie is a classic must see comedy! Any movie lover should order this one asap. I love using amazon.com because of the great selection, the new movie rental online feature is super cool and the prices are fair.

im really happy that i got this cd cause it was my favorite movie when i was a kid.

the story is theres a talking horse willed to bobcat goldwaith.it talks!its also a genius about the stock market!and to make things that much better,he got half a broking firm in the will too.so his horse don,tells him where to put his money and he gets rich quick.of course this pisses everybody else off.bobcats in it.the kids think its funny.a funny part i liked was when they have to put don into a horse race and they need a jockey.one guy is being interviewed.bob says "why should you be the one to ride don,mr snake?" and he replies,"one shot of this and your horse could win indianapolis 500"!that was great!its one the only talking animal movies ive ever liked in my whole life!theres a bunch of psycho chicks in this one.no hotties.i like it better than the police academy movies.

oh! we invented the cinema (I say 'We' but I mean the folks behind Dabney Coleman's world famous role in women's lib.)
so the western genre doesn't apply here no: you've got two things: a talking horse and a twenty-five-thousand year-old dame
by the name of Virginia Southingworth Madson. Comedy was
certainly inevitable as this
pair teams up to provide many depressed humans reason to
off themselves (I mean that in the hermeneutical sense).

this movie is hilarious. it combines the funny voice of golthwait and the unprecedented comedy of coleman and candy. this movie is pretty tight, right.

This is truly a "laff riot" film. Slap stick, Stooges, party animals and just plain comedy. This is a film for all ages, although some comedy will fly by youngsters, as Bobcat Goldwaith and John Candy can get a bit out of hand. They just don't make comedies like this one anymore.
