Jerky Boys Johnny and Kamal go from the audio crank calling world to Hollywood. This movie is basically just about the guys hanging out and doing what they do best: acting like wackadoos. A must watch movie for goombas like me! The movie was co-produced by Tony Danza and Emilio Estevez (an odd couple, what else have they teamed on I wonder?) Anyway, when the guys from Queens make a few calls to the wrong people they end up in the world of the New York mob. Vincent "Big Pussy" Pastore is perfectly cast here playing the character he's best known for. Also noteworthy for those who love the fictional mob world, Johnny's mom is the same woman who plays Carmela's mom on Sopranos and before that she was Karen's mom from Goodfellas. For all you other goofy fruitcakes out there, Ozzy Osbourne (whose lines are a little more understandable than on his MTV show--although not much), Tom Jones and many others make appearances in this wacky wild and hilarious film. The only missing cameo was by The Diceman.

I recently purchased a region 2 format DVD. I was unaware that most DVD players in the USA cannot play this type of DVD, as region 2 is made to be played on European and Asian DVD players. This price is less, because you must be computer genius to figure out how to play these grey zone bootleg DVD copies. AVOID REGION 2

There is no denying that The Jerky Boys are going to have a place in American culture history. This movie is an example of the best they have to offer.

This movie has no real plot, theme or real purpose. But, it is as funny as most comedies out there. Kamal and Johnny's interlopings with the likes of Lazarro, Brett Weir, and Tony Zamboni - I mean Scarboni - fills in for a plot. But its the Jerky Boys one liners and quibbles that makes this movie great.

If you want to see a movie that will make you laugh at things mindless and stupid, but make you laugh none the less, this is a very good way to go.

Hey if you don't like low brow humor, slap-stick, or just basic good old 'Three Stooges' comedy, then of course you won't like this. But to the many people who laugh at their records will like this flick. I found myself laughing throughout the movie. No it's not just two guys sitting around making phone calls. It's about two dudes (the Jerkys of course) who get in trouble with both the Mafia and the cops. Hey what can I say, if you like to listen to Sol, Kissel, Kamal, and Rizzo, then you'll love watching them.

Check it out ... !!!

I bought this movie for my husband because he's been looking all over for it. I could only find it on VHS; the only DVD was not for our region. We recently bought a new plasma TV so, as I found out later, the picture quality is not great.
The movie itself is so dumb that it's funny. I enjoy 'dumb' comedy, like Airplane (my favorite movie) and Leslie Nielsen movies so I did enjoy it and my husband LOVED it. Jerky Boys [VHS] If only it came on DVD for our country.

This is a great movie I have it on VHS want it on DVD, Write to Tony Danza maybe he can have it converted here in the US. I especially want the deleted and extended scenes from this movie. Because sometimes when they show a movie on television they cut some scenes out and insert other scenes. The TV version had an extended Jail Scene. where you actually get a better look at the guy dressed up in the dinosaur suit. I was able to find Last Exit to Brooklyn on DVD. It was an import
but I think it was imported from Korea and would play on any DVD Player.
It was Region Free I believe.

I've been waiting a LONG time for this movie to come out on dvd does a anybody know why it isn't out ???

I f You love the jerky boys, you will love this movie. I like what the person above me said about this movie being so bad its good. That sums it up. Also you get a cameo of Ozzy and Helmet, so check it out.

I have been looking for this movie for a long time. Since I thought this movie was out of print, as a joke I would check the 'World's Biggest Selection'. I found out the myth that Amazon has everything is true! (well, they have everything that I want, anyway)
