5.0 out of 5 stars Woof Bloogle Jik, Moo Jik Bloogle Woof, September 11, 2005
Ah yes, the Old Klopstokian Song of Love!

Million Dollar Legs begins by placing Fields on the throne of an improbable country where goats and nuts reign supreme, the economy is in shambles, political hierarchy is determined by physical strength, and all the women are named Angela. From there, it weird. But the whole movie is ankle deep and head first in good clean fun, political intrigue, slapstick comedy, love, sexual innuendo, and athletic improbabilities.

"Oh father, they won't hurt him will they?"
"Only for about two hours. Then they'll shoot him"

This movie is a masterpiece of comedy!! When will it be available on DVD?

5.0 out of 5 stars A bizarre delight, April 16, 1999
By A Customer
This film is so strange--from the fact that everyone in the country of Klopstokia seems to be descended from goats, to the way cabinet meetings are conducted (the President arm wrestles every one of the cabinet members to make sure he hasn't lost any power) this film is a bizarre delight from start to finish. There are so many scenes in this film that are visually striking and have stayed with me long after I watched the film. From seeing Andy Clyde, disguised as a goat, running at about 100 miles per hour to the scene where Lyda Roberti sings a seductive song to the cabinet of Klopstokia, this film is a delight to watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best in the Screwballs class!, January 20, 1999
By A Customer
This is one of the wackiest comedies ever made. A non-stop, star-studded orgy of inspired lunacy that was the hallmark of the greatest comedies of the 1930's/early 40's (and a thoroughly extinct species in the 1990's). Every Hollywood funny man and funny woman of the day seems to have wormed their way into this one. An absolute gem. Total, cathartic laugh therapy.
