Editorial Reviews

"A quirky comedy about love, sex and pyromania, Wilder Napalm stars Academy Award nominee Debra Winger as an arsonist who is loved by two brothers (Dennis Quaid and Arliss Howard) who have flame-throwing talents of their own. With telekinetic powers that enable him to start fires using only his mind Wilder Foudroyant (Howard) seems the natural match for the flamboyant Vida (Winger). But his younger brother Wallace (Quaid) shares the same telekinetic power - and the same passion for Vida. In a bid to win fame, fortune and Vida's hand, Wallace decides to go public with his firestarter stunt as "Dr. Napalm." But before he can appear on TV, he'll have to defeat Wilder in a scorchingly funny duel to the death...or thereabouts. A high-octane comedy from the creator of TV's Moonlighting, WILDER NAPALM is "wickedly off-beat and directly on target" (Toronto Globe & Mail)"

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to see a wonderful unusual film, see this! =o), August 27, 1999
By 
ForAvalon@hotmail.com (Whittier, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wilder Napalm [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Forget Leonard Maltin! He's whacked out! This is one seriously wonderful underrated film! The movie has a delightfully unusual premise and some truly original writing, among other positive traits the score of the film can only be described as irresistibly lovable.

The film brings the phrase quirky love comedy to new heights. It should be praised for it characters alone, first and foremost Debra Winger's energetic, nymphomaniac, music loving, green wearing, accidentally arsonistic character of Vida. Mixed with elements of Unresolved loved Sibling rivalry, childhood trauma, Acapela singing firemen, and a whole lot of Carnies, and you've got a plot that expertly combines heart rending drama and touching romance, with a healthy dose of lovably bizarre comedy. All of these things more than make up for an occasionally slow film. This film is definitely worth seeing for any self-respecting open-minded film buff.

5.0 out of 5 stars So bizarre it's fun!, July 18, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Wilder Napalm (DVD)
This movie stars Dennis Quade, Arliss Howard and Debra Winger. Debra Winger is married to one of two brothers who share an unusual ability, the ability to start fires. Of course the movie starts out with Winger under house arrest for arson and only gets better from then on.
From chorusing firemen to twisted carnival clowns and look out for Jim Varney to be part of the action too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Off-beat and a REAL hoot!, July 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Wilder Napalm [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Two brothers have fire-starting capabilities; one chooses to live as normal a life as possible while the other chooses the field of entertainment to showcase his fire-starting talents. Things "heat up" when the circus comes to town and brings the brothers back together and they once again compete for the charms of the same woman. Clever story and Dennis Quaid's dancing to "She's A Lady" is not to be missed!
