Rocky & Bullwinke get zapped into "the real world"
to foil the plans of Fearless Leader, Boris Badenov & Natasha Fatale.
I already posted this board under "Misc. Comedy"
This board should probably go under Rocky and Bullwinkle... Any moderators present should feel free to move it...
How did "Cappy" know to wear yellow goggles?
Jonathan Winters was brilliant, as usual.
More to come...
Boris (Alexander) was too tall as a live action character.
Boris and Natasha's flesh should've been whitened even though it would make them look like lost cousins from the Addams Family.
Natasha tells Boris Darling that Moose and Squirrel don't even know their names. Well, Moose did when he interrogated Karen Sympathy in the courtroom, "Then how come Boris and Natasha are real and Rocky and I are still cartoons?" Or words to that effect.
Rocky says Bullwinkle weighs 400 imaginary pounds and that's why their plane was too heavy. Well, Agent Sympathy had no trouble lowering him from the green-lighthouse and the Randy "Allow me to be frank" Quaid character easily smooshed Moose into scanner.
The animated prologue was better than the rest of the movie. Keith Scott nailed Bullwinkle's voice; his dad, Bill Scott, was the Moose's original voice. Keith Scott also was the Narrator; his efforts to mimic William Conrad's voice left something to be desired.
The prologue stated that Lyndon Johnson was re-elected President in 1964. LBJ wasn't elected President in the first place; he ascended to the presidency when JFK was killed. He was then elected to his own term in 1964.
Keith Scott isn't Bill Scott's son nor is he related to him in any other way (Scott isn't exactly a rare surname). As a matter of fact, he's originally from Australia. He also wrote a book on the history of Rocky and Bullwinkle called The Moose That Roared. While very informative, he can get quite self-righteous and tends to display a narrow-mindedness with any cartoon that that doesn't ape R&B. Sure many (if not most) of said cartoons are bad, but he really should lighten up.
