Hilarious from beginning to end. I haven't seen it in years, but still quote it to this day. "Dats my feets Jack!" If you haven't seen the movie, do yourself a favor, have a couple of drinks and watch it. Bear in mind that the humor is predictable, in poor taste, and dark. People who find humor in movies such as "Airplane!" will find it outrageous.

OMG!!! I can't believe I finally found it !!! I've been looking for this movie for almost 20 years! I first seen it on video back in the days of BetaMax VCRs. We sold our Beta long ago and the movies we had for it with it. I haven't been able to find this one on VHS, I even tried to have Hastings order it and they couldn't find it either.

It's an absolute must see, my personal comedy favorite! This movie is hillarious with continuous jokes. You have to watch it several times, because I found new things in it every time I saw it (maybe I missed stuff while I was rolling on the floor holding my belly because it hurt so much from laughing).

Mark Blankfield plays the shy Dr. Daniel Jekhyll who drinks this concoction that doesn't turn him into a murderous monster but actually into this hillarious, lovable while annoying sex-crazed potion-junkie. He hooks up with this punk-singer/prostitute chick who work's at Madam Woo Woo's and comes to Jekhyll at the Hospital for help. Great psychedelic effects and non-stop comedy. Not recommended for little kids, though.

Together Again, is probably one of the funniest underground fun fests that has ever been released.
Blankfield shows his full-out true comic genious, one that seems to have escaped the majority of the American movie watching public.
Shame on the studio for not releasing this classic on DVD and giving a new generation a chance to watch something "just for a fun time."
We need to laugh more these days and this movie will get you started.

I've got a story for all of you about this movie: In 1982, at the tender age of eight, I was brought along by my ol' man to see this movie at the City Cinema Duplex on a Saturday Afternoon.

Now all that week in school, I had been bombarded by "Just Say No" propaganda geared to scare an urchin like me straight. They scared me a little TOO well. All that week, I was afraid some skeevy freak was gonna dose my Orange Juice with some Orange Sunshine and turn me -against my will- into a slobbering, murdering mutant scum like Tony Montana from "Scarface."

When I see Mark Blankfield, aka Dr. DANIEL Jekyll, dicing up some blow... er, a sample of his SERUM, I start getting nervous. Why would my pop bring me to some awful, AWFUL movie that plumbed the depths of the seedy underworld of NARCOTICS? Bear in mind I was eight, and had yet to learn of "Reefer Madness." Long story short: Blankfield snorts the blow and undergoes the hideous, diabolic metamorphosis INTO... Frank Zappa with gold chains and MOOD RINGS???

When he flashed his gold plated tooth with the "LOVE" engravement, I proceeded to laugh my baby-smooth ASS off. I even told my pop after the film, "That guy looked like one of your hippie friends!" That made my pop laugh even harder!

Bless this goofy little film! Blessed be the show-stopping number, "Hyde's Got Nothing to Hide!" And pity poor George "West Side Story" Chakiris for his hapless cameo! "J&K Together Again" helped me get over my paralyzing phobia of drugs. NO, I'm not a stoner. It's no classic, but it's a damned sight better than "Porky's" or "Police Academy!" THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT!!!

Mark Blankfield is da Shizzle, and he deserved a more rewarding comedic career. (I mean, CHEVY CHASE? Eyyyyuck!) I wish it would come out on DVD, 'cause seeing the original film release I KNOW there's cutscenes I don't have on VHS!

I say with great pride that I am addicted to this film for life!

I can't believe I finally found this movie. It has been my own personal "lost ark". I have been looking for it for about 10 years. The first time I saw "Jekyll & Hyde...together again" was in the summer of 1983 or '84. I was about 11 or 12 years old, and I watched it at my buddy's house on cable. We must have watched it like 10 times that summer. In the late 80's/early 90's it would show up every once in awhile on the Gilbert Gottfried show, "Up All Night" on the USA Channel. This movie is HILARIOUS. The stars of the movie aren't exactly household names, but a few of them went on to do other movies. Bess Armstrong was in a few movies in the '80s, although the only one that comes to mind is "Jaws 3". Also, I am pretty sure the woman that plays "Ivy", was also in "Little Darlings". Although most of the movies of the early 80's are truly forgettable, this one is a comedy treasure. My advice---Buy It NOW. Good luck trying to find it at Blockbuster or Hollywood Video.

Picture this...Dr. jekyll creates a magic powder that he toots up and instantly becomes a white silk shirt, big collar disco animal cooze hound. The sight of the big gold medallions popping out of his chest like the Hulk transformation is sure to keep the guffaws reeling. This movie is so stupidly great...campy as hell, it used to be on NIGHT FLIGHT back in the 80's, giving all the other cult classics a run for the money. This needs to be released on DVD, it's a legend.

I can't say enough good things about this movie, it's been one of my favorite films for a very long time. Mark Blankfield does an awesome job. He's really a top notch physical comedian. The rest of the cast does a great job too.. If you like crazy humor, this movie is a must see.

Now about the DVD itself. The video quality is very good, very clean. The audio is mono (yuck) but better quality than the VHS tape I have, so it's passable. Overall I'd be entirely content with this release if not for two things: (1) there are no special features at all, and (2) there's a scene near the end where Hyde leans backwards to look behind himself that is *supposed* to be upside down, but the people who did the transfer flipped it, completely destroying the comic value. Ugh.

All in all, I'm thrilled that there is a DVD version because my VHS copy is aging fast. I just hope there's enough sales of this to convince them to do a better job on a special edition (as much as I hate all that Special / Ultimate / Extreme edition nonsense).

This needs to be out on DVD, so hurry up!

This movie is a classic. If you love the craziness of the "Airplane!" style of movies then give this one a try. There is so much depth to this movie I still find something new every time I watch it, and after years I still laugh. The background is as full of activity as the foreground, so it's easy to miss something during bouts of laughter.

It's a modern day take on the classic "Jekyll & Hyde" story; with sex and drugs and rock & roll. You know right in the first scene where this movie is going to go and you might want to hold on because it is a fun ride. So many good one-liners you'll need to watch it a few times in a row to catch them all.

Mark Blankfield does a fabulous job and I wonder why his career never seemed to take off. For physical comedy he excels.

Nothing is sacred in this movie. Drug use, sex, transvestitism, a goat, and much more. I loved "Airplane!" but this movie puts that one to shame. Of the farces out there "Jekyll & Hyde Together Again" is #1. Enjoy.

Another movie to check out it is "Galaxina".

This is simply the greatest movie of all time in the history of movie making. It is. It features the greatest jokes of all time. You simply must see this movie! You've gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta mmmm ma mommma gotta gotta gotta see this movie! I just left a man in surgery!

It's a wonder that Mark Blanchfield didn't become an instant superstar after his performance in this movie. Jim Carrey's mask comes close but this film was the original Mark was also hillarious in the 80~82 SNL rip off series called Friday's where he appeared as the high strung pharmacist. The Friday series also spun off Seinfields Kramer (Michael Richards). This movie is old but it still holds up well. It's ashame that they don't have it on DVD yet.
