Review of Disco Godfather (1979) by Brian B — 22 Oct 2008

With the recent death of the man himself, Rudy Ray Moore (at the age of 81 !?) It felt appropriate to review my favorite flick of his...

If, like me, you're a fan of cocktails with your buddies - or Favorite Buddy - along side a wondrously bad 70's movie, it doesn't get much better than this.

Dirty disco composition & actors too stoned to keep their eyes open during most shots, today this would be immediate grounds for negative stars, but here, it is just a minor element thrown into a film that transports you to a different time & makes you want to get down & put your weight on it.

It is bad in a way that can never be recreated...and it has a style that filmmakers strive to capture in comedies today.

Yet, amongst all the silliness and inspiring late 1970's atmosphere, all I can think is that I was born in the wrong decade 'cause I was built for those booty shorts & I'm already a roller-discoing queen....RIP Rudy Ray.
