Review of Freebie and the Bean (1974) by Stephen C — 12 Apr 2011

Fianlly getting a DVD release thanks to Warners archive label.

I remember watching this on an old VHS tape when I was around 10 or 12 and then rarely seeing it after that.

Now its like meeting an old friend and its still as good as it was all those years ago.

Arkin and Caan are great as the freewheeling detectives called upon to keep guard on local hood Red Meyers.

What follows is a path of destruction involving Cars and motorbikes and loads of shootings, cross dressing killers, mistaken identities and all kinds of Chaos.

It may not be subtle but its a load of fun and you really cant help but enjoy yourself as they hapless duo wreak havoc on an unsuspecting city.

Thanks Warner Archive.
