tear gas squad
. . . those words never mentioned in movie ! tear . . .
terry morse directs 1940’s tear gas squad , a film that mixes cop drama and romantic comedy . the film was written by kenneth gamet , don ryan and charles belden .
by the way , the tear gas squad doesn ' t show up until the final three minutes . right before dennis morgan sings to gloria dickson while his horse looks away in utter boredom .
more like lapd choir squad . no tear gas until the last 5 minutes . extra half star for having superman ( george reeves ) and perry white ( john hamilton ) in the same movie .
saturday night ' s match between villarreal and luis enrique ' s celta vigo was suspended for half an hour due to tear gas on the pitch .
tear gas squad has many fun and cutesy songs , all delivered by an adorable and completely charming performer . dennis morgan , the performer in question , completely won me over in christmas in connecticut and he’s just as wonderful to watch here .
from the time al jolson opened his yap in the jazz singer , the movie musical became one of the mainstays of american culture . my fair lady . . . funny girl . . . the sound of music . . . tear gas squad . . .
but after several hours of partying , dozens of hardcore fans known as “barras bravas” started throwing stones at police , who responded by firing rubber bullets , tear gas and water cannon .
in the new york times , bosley crowther wrote ,
tear gas squad , now at the palace , is not the sort of propaganda to inspire confidence in the guardians of the public peace , nor , for that matter , in its highly improbable plot . . . if the film is dubious as a tribute to the police force , it is even more so as entertainment
; while allmovie wrote ,
tear gas squad manages to pack thrills , comedy , romance and songs into a neat 55 - minute package .
celta were leading the match 1 - 0 at el madrigal before white smoke began billowing out from around the vigo club ' s goal , said by local press to be tear gas .
after the ruling , hundreds of people gathered outside the newspaper ' s offices in istanbul protesting against the move , before police fired tear gas at protesters as they stormed the head office building .
so if you have a thing for inane , schizophrenic , lower - case
e
entertainment , then by all means wallow in tear gas squad ' s charms . if not , you can regard it as an audio - visual history lesson - - an example of a time when something had to be projected onto a screen for a couple of days . the strange thing is , if you added some new numbers and re - wrote the script , it would make for the next cult off - broadway comedy - - tear gas squad ! : the musical . now that might be worth watching .
eventually police deployed tear gas causing the thousands gathered to fall back . once the crowd , that was seemingly unprepared for a gas attack , had fallen back to safety , a police “anti - terrorism” squad moved in to clear the area with mp5’s and other rifles ( presumably loaded with live rounds ) . unicorn riot left the area after our team was gassed , hosed down , our data was depleted , and another camera was destroyed .
no tear gas was actually used until the final minutes of this b - musical . actors george reeves and john hamilton would later on become known in the superman tv - series , and edgar buchanan ( petticoat junction ) .
turkish police used water cannon and tear gas to disperse crowds protesting outside the headquarters of the opposition zaman newspaper . they moved in to secure the premises following a government decision to take over the management of the media group .
dry , romantic back - lot melodrama with crooner dennis morgan fighting john payne for the heart of gloria dickson . morgan sings some cloying tunes , joins the cops and there ' s no action - or tear gas - till the finale .

protests that erupted following what was widely seen as the seizure of zamans headquarters in istanbul by the government were glossed over in the new edition , reuters reported . on saturday , police used tear gas , water cannon and fired rubber bullets to disperse hundreds - strong crowds of zaman readers .
italian police fired tear gas into the crowd .
all of a sudden , for no apparent reason , my eyes started to water ,
says goalkeeper ray clemence .
a horrible feeling came over me and i couldn ' t see anything . then i realised there was a problem behind me .
wait , what the - - tear gas squad ? you mean you don ' t remember that ? neither do i , hardly , and i just watched it the other day . not that i was planning on watching a musical . not with that title and its 55 - minute running time - - technically , five minutes shorter than what a feature was considered back then . never was such a baldfaced bait - and - switch perpetrated on ticket buyers .
tear gas squad is nothing out of the ordinary . there are no big , unpredictable developments in the plot ; it follows the exact path you would expect it to and doesn’t offer anything that hasn’t been seen on screen before . however , it’s such a fun little watch . with an extremely charismatic cast , a fast pace and an upbeat mood , i enjoyed watching it a whole lot and would definitely watch it again . the score : 4 / 5
buenos aires — a crestfallen lionel messi kept a low profile as thousands of people greeted the argentina squad on their return home monday , just hours after their world cup final defeat to germany .
the thing that tear gas squad has going for it is the supporting cast . anyone who grew up in the ' 60s would get lockjaw from saying ,
oh my god , that guy !
two future stars from superman , george reeves and john
great caesar ' s ghost !

routine that he appeared to have patented some time during the mckinley administration .
mccabe and jones are shown in a two - shot seated on their adjacent motorcycles , but on the cut to a wide shot showing the entire motorcycle squad , jones is not one of the riders .
matias ruiz ( 17 ) , one of those who met the squad’s charter flight from rio , echoed the sentiments of many , saying : “they gave everything for us and they deserve our support . ”
throw him off the staircase !  one of the officers allegedly shouted , as the raid squad pushed one of the publications employees down to the hall , according to a tweet written by a zaman employee .
having little to do with tear gas , this cheapie casts morgan as a nightclub piano player who has a thing for a cop ' s daughter , dickson . in order to prove that he ' s no pansy , he joins the police , gets trained by the girl ' s beau ( policeman payne ) , gets kicked out , and eventually becomes the hero after saving payne ' s life . of course he gets the girl . includes . . . read more
despite its promise , the squad had fallen foul of its woeful inexperience of international tournaments . aside from hughes , an unused member of ramsey ' s 22 in mexico , none of the squad had experienced a major finals .
even though we ' d had so much success at club level in europe , our failure to make it to the 1974 and ' 78 world cups , and the euros in ' 72 and ' 76 , meant we were lacking ,
says clemence .
kirchner had the bright energy of a school teacher as she greeted the squad — who in turn resembled pupils shyly trying to keep to the back row and avoid being called on to speak after their 1 - 0 extra - time loss on sunday .
next came the nonsensical decision to send a makeshift 16 - man squad to sydney for the australian fa ' s centenary celebrations less than a fortnight before the start of the championship . of those 16 who returned home after a 2 - 1 victory , only joe corrigan , trevor cherry , paul mariner and glenn hoddle were included in the squad for the finals . bryan robson , capped for the first time in the qualifier against ireland , was surprised to be told he was left out . robson described the flight back from australia as ' perhaps the worst journey i ' ve ever had '  .
the squad spent their last days in england holed up in a large hotel in hertfordshire , finding ways to amuse themselves as they prepared for the biggest games of their lives . one focal point became the stereo that dave watson insisted on taking to all england get - togethers ( steve coppell had drawn the short straw as room - mate ) .
another 23 - year - old was luckier . birtles , fresh from a second european cup success with forest , was so convinced he had no chance of making the squad that he had gone to stay with [ forest reserve keeper ] chris woods in lincolnshire when he got the call telling him he was going to italy . it would be quite some adventure .
a manager who had produced a reliable and little - altered group for so long was suddenly breaking up under the real strain of competition ,
 wrote norman fox .
he used 19 players in three games . his argument that all 22 players in the squad were equals was wrong and told of a nice guy who didn ' t like to hurt feelings .
the social whirl continued with a cocktail party at number 10 thrown in the squad ' s honour .
it was a nerve - wracking evening ,
 says kenny sansom .
we were all there in our suits looking very smart and meeting the ' iron lady '  . i was very shy back then and a little tongue - tied . on meeting the prime minister , what do you say ?
whilst the past three years have seen a great deal of progress in the art of building collective spirit and confidence , nevertheless the raw material with which he [ greenwood ] is working remains much the same as that which he inherited ,
wrote norman fox .
in spite of all the medals the squad could muster , as a team they were not versatile enough to win even when the opposition was mediocre .
though the pm expressed concern about the team playing in such high temperatures , she needn ' t have worried . northern italy had been hit by four days of non - stop rain and thunderstorms , and the narrow , cobbled streets of asti - the nearest town to where england would stay , and famous for its sparkling asti spumante - were awash . the squad were to stay in a small hotel perched on a hilltop ; but unlike the local drink , england ' s finals would be anything but sparkling .
it’s the old mike tyson axiom : everyone has a plan until they get hit . the upstart bloodhounds took a sor rungvisai sized cross to the jaw at oskie on friday , giving up 58 points while struggling to contain a speed and size laden spread offense . tony shiffman’s challenge is no preventing a crisis of confidence for a team that was sky high in that department this time a week ago . the psyche of rebuilding teams trying to elevate after years of dormancy is always tricky after these kind of losses . the ft madison staff has had all the right answers to this point . bridging this crossroads back into a winnable game against west burlington / notre dame squad seems a critical crossroads moment here .
then there ' s frank wilcox , who would go onto . . . well , let ' s see . there ' s the bill dana show , bewitched , perry mason , mod squad , mr . ed , mona mccluskey , wild wild west , beverly hillbillies . . . had enough ? you remember the guy - - an authority figure , whether it be a judge , doctor , banker or , here , cop . resonant voice , no - nonsense manner , distinguished mustache . probably second only to charles lane for appearing incessantly on prime time television . it ' s really something that he was believable in each role since you saw him as a different character every goddamn night of the week .

this film ' s earliest documented telecast took place in tucson thursday 20 september 1956 on kdwi ( channel 9 ) ; it first aired in albuquerque monday 1 october 1956 on koat ( channel 7 ) , in boston wednesday 14 november 1956 on wbz ( channel 4 ) , in salt lake city tuesday 15 january 1957 on kutv ( channel 2 ) , and in indianapolis sunday 6 march 1957 on wfbm ( channel 6 ) .
i love this one - - it ' s the little film that could . it is easily my most favorite b - film . it has some great irish music , some fast - paced action scenes ( especially at the end ) , and appealing lead performers ( like dennis morgan , john payne & gloria dickson ) to sustain our interest . but what impresses me most is the way this story deftly combines several different genres - - it ' s a musical , police procedural , romance , mystery and gangster drama all rolled into one . it tries to be all things to all viewers , and since the cast is so versatile , it succeeds . and to think they packed it all into a film that doesn ' t even run a full hour ! great entertainment .

boasting 19 european cup winners ' medals , england went to the 1980 european championships sure of success . but as daniel ruiz explains , things quickly fell apart for ron greenwood ' s team , with poor performances on the pitch and chaos in the stands . . .
as ron greenwood made his preparations to take his england team to the 1980 european championship in italy , he had good reason to feel confident . the first man to lead england to a major international tournament since alf ramsey ' s team fell to gerd muller ' s volley in the world cup in mexico , he could also boast a group of players , in terms of honours at least , far superior to ramsey ' s 1970 vintage .
greenwood had taken charge in the summer of 1977 , arriving too late to steer england to the 1978 world cup finals in argentina , but had built an impressive - looking team by focusing on the fundamentals .
football ' s a simple game , you don ' t have to complicate it , and ron brought that simplicity back to the national set - up ,
recalls southampton centre - half dave watson , a survivor from the last days of the ramsey era . unlike don revie , he didn ' t play players out of position .
england looked in good shape . a 2 - 0 friendly win over fellow qualifiers spain was followed by a 3 - 1 wembley victory over world champions argentina .
with qualification confidently sealed from a group featuring denmark , the two irelands and bulgaria , england were among the favourites to lift the trophy , but their involvement in the championships was not top of the domestic agenda . it was a time of social and political unrest . unemployment had moved above two million for the first time since 1935 , and would rise by a further half a million by the end of the year , while the siege of the iranian embassy in london was gripping tv viewers worldwide .
on the sporting front too , the footballers were overshadowed by the forthcoming olympics , and in particular , by the decision to send a british team to moscow . the british olympic association was defying new prime minister margaret thatcher ' s efforts to back the us boycott in response to the ussr ' s invasion of afghanistan the previous year .
nevertheless , england looked in good shape . a 2 - 0 friendly win over fellow qualifiers spain in barcelona that spring was followed by a 3 - 1 wembley victory over world champions argentina , a game that introduced a 19 - year - old maradona to england fans and players .
he made this great run , similar to that second goal against england in mexico 86 ,
recalls forest striker garry birtles , who made his england debut as a late substitute .
on this occasion he put it into the side netting , but we were all looking at each other on the bench , having never seen anything like it . you could see this guy was going to be a massive talent .
leopoldo luque , their centre - forward , told me off for tackling him on one occasion ,
 chuckles watson .
he said , ' he ' s only a boy . '  but as far as i was concerned , if he was playing , he was big enough to take a tackle .
even a 4 - 1 defeat away to wales just days later , england ' s heaviest since 1964 , could not dampen the enthusiasm . but with the forest contingent in madrid for the european cup final against keegan ' s hamburg , greenwood was unable to field his first 11 for the rest of the home internationals , and the wales loss was followed by a fortunate 1 - 1 draw at wembley against northern ireland , and an unconvincing 2 - 0 win over scotland .
i was a big quo fan , but that summer some of the players would gather in my room to listen to the latest gerry rafferty album , night owl ,
recalls watson , whose fabled hi - fi included not only the usual tape - deck / radio , but also a television . eighteen inches long , six inches deep , it was so big that he had a flight case specially built for it .
horse racing enthusiasts emlyn hughes , mick mills and phil thompson took their minds off things by hiring a helicopter to fly them to epsom for the derby .
it was all the rage back then ,
he says ,
and i still have it to this day .
meanwhile horse racing enthusiasts emlyn hughes , mick mills and phil thompson took their minds off things by hiring a helicopter to fly them to epsom for the derby , where a record 400 , 000 crowd saw willie carson win for the second year in a row .
it was a superb day , one of those things you can ' t believe you can do ,
 recalls mills .
we ' d just had a full training session and got cleaned up , and shortly after midday the helicopter was buzzing its way into the hotel grounds .
the players landed in the centre of the course just before the first race was due to start .
we all had the derby winner and we had a couple of other little bets that allowed us to pay for the helicopter ,
says mills .
as we waited for it to take us back , we met up with willie carson and had a little chat .
as they landed back in the hotel grounds , keegan came sprinting over .
he ' d been entertaining a young boy with a terminal illness , giving him a special day out where he got to meet the players . kevin had a quick chat with the pilot and it was quickly arranged for the boy to go up in the helicopter for a spin .
watson , minus stereo , didn ' t seem to have a problem , finding himself on a private tour of downing street with the pm as guide .
she seemed to take a liking to me for some reason , and came over and took hold of my hand . suddenly we were off on this excursion . she showed me these paintings of the ex - prime ministers that were hanging on the walls and gave me their history . it was very enjoyable -  we didn ' t talk football at all .
mills remembers being taken aback by the size of the place .
the most amazing thing is that , when you see that door on television , it looks a pretty small building , but inside it seems to take off and go on for miles .
the eight qualifiers were divided into two groups of four . with no semi - finals , the top team in each group would contest the final , while the second - placed countries fought over third place . the favourites were jupp derwall ' s west germany , rebuilt after a poor defence of their world cup title in argentina , and drawn in group a alongside a dutch side in sharp decline , holders czechoslovakia and surprise qualifiers greece .
group b saw england up against belgium , spain and italy , whose fans expected a repeat of the 1968 success when they had last enjoyed home advantage . but the hosts were in turmoil , with 33 players - including some internationals -  due on trial in rome charged with fraud , having allegedly accepted money to fix the results of two games .
italy coach enzo bearzot threatened to resign unless his federation told him who would be available for selection , but on may 19 he got the news he didn ' t want . paulo rossi , so vital to italian hopes , was banned for three years , later reduced to two on appeal .
greenwood would also be without his first - choice striker , a ruptured achilles ruling out forest ' s £1m man trevor francis , while keegan ' s knee ligament was giving cause for concern . an exhausting season with hamburg and endless commercial commitments had taken their toll on the england captain .
sansom , however , was in heaven .
i remember the buzz i felt when we were all handed our identity badges -  that ' s when you realised you were part of something . the fact that the finals were in italy made it even bigger for me as i felt italian football was the best in the world .
in the evening of june 12th , the streets of turin played host to a running street battle between 200 english and italian hooligans .
sansom was rooming with tottenham star hoddle , but while hoddle was an early bird , the palace youngster found himself seeing out his evenings in the card school .
i was playing with the big boys ,
he says ,
kevin keegan , terry mcdermott and peter shilton . when we travelled to the games , we just played seven - card brag for points , but back in the hotel we ' d go down to three - card brag where we played for a little more .
as england relaxed , group a kicked off on june 12 with 1 - 0 wins for west germany over czechoslovakia and holland over greece . by that evening though , a new international phenomenon had taken centre stage , the streets of turin playing host to a running street battle between 200 english and italian hooligans . though 36 people were detained , the fighting , the first of what would become a familiar sight on the continent over the next decade , made only a small column on page six of the times . the following day , however , england fans made front - page news .
greenwood ' s men were overwhelming favourites to beat the unfancied belgians , but guy thys '  men had defeated scotland in the qualifiers and were going into the championship on the back of seven straight victories and a 13 - match unbeaten run .
the game started well for england . after 26 minutes , ray wilkins chipped the ball over the belgian back four , ran through them and lobbed home over the advancing jean marie pfaff to make it 1 - 0 . but the lead lasted a matter of moments , striker jan ceulemens stabbing the ball home from a corner . almost immediately , fighting broke out behind the england goal .
the violence seemed to begin when the italians cheered the belgian goal ,
wrote norman fox in the times .
as yellow smoke clouded the terraces , police waded into the england fans and greenwood appealed to uefa officials to stop the match .
we just made our way towards the middle of the pitch ,
 says sansom .
i don ' t think any of the players were hurt , though a couple of them had sore eyes .
the game restarted five minutes later , both sides struggling to get back into their rhythm before half - time . after the break , though , england pushed hard for the win . with 15 minutes left , tony woodcock got in ahead of his marker to score , but unknown to him , the linesman had raised his flag before lowering it again .
the england players were back at the halfway line before they realised that west german referee heinz aldinger had disallowed the goal . it was to prove a key decision : england were prevented from getting off to a quick start , and belgium took heed of the warning to hold out for a draw .
ceulemans feels that england didn ' t take belgium seriously , but concedes that they expected to be beaten .
england had a better side so we were surprised to hold them to a draw . it was then that we started to believe in our chances .
the result wasn ' t the main talking point , however . the hooligans were .
we are ashamed of people like this ,
said a furious greenwood .
we have done everything to create the right impression here , then these bastards let you down .
uefa hit the fa with an £8 , 000 fine for the crowd disturbances .
it could have been a lot more serious ,
said fa chairman professor sir harold thompson .
it is a lamentable disgrace that the work ron greenwood has done can be jeopardised by a few silly louts . they are not fans at all .
in the circumstances , a crucial game between england and italy was the last thing the italian authorities needed . the mayor of turin , signor diego novelli , threatened to cancel the match in the event of any more trouble from english fans , and banned the sale of alcohol in the stadio comunale . margaret thatcher , in venice attending an eec summit , described the events as ' disgraceful '  .
meanwhile the players tried to stay focused on football . many felt the hooligans were harming the team ' s chances , but mills admits they were largely unaffected by the trouble .
we ' d grown up with it . crowd violence was one of those unfortunate things that was around in the ' 70s and early - ' 80s .
italy been beaten at home in a decade , and were unbeaten on the mainland since england ' s 3 - 2 victory in rome in 1961 .
italy were having their own problems , outplayed by spain in a goalless draw , but england faced an enormous task . the hosts hadn ' t been beaten at home in a decade , and were unbeaten on the mainland since england ' s 3 - 2 victory in rome in 1961 .
greenwood made three changes for the game . up front , david johnson made way for birtles , whose ability against man - to - man markers in forest ' s european cup campaigns had impressed greenwood ( the manager had brought the young striker along mainly with this game in mind ) .
ray kennedy came in for trevor brooking in midfield , and peter shilton replaced clemence in goal , continuing greenwood ' s unusual practice of alternating his keepers every game . for many , this was the most glaring example of his weakness as a manager - niceness .
ron should have chosen one ahead of the other ,
says mills .
i think he was trying to be fair because they were both capable of being the england goalkeeper .
but , as mills points out , when greenwood finally settled on shilton for the world cup two years later , the side only conceded one goal in five games .
boosted by kevin keegan ' s recovery from a stomach upset , greenwood was in confident mood as kick - off approached .
somebody has to win ,
he declared , clearly believing it would be england .
as over 60 , 000 fans squeezed themselves into the stadio communale , supervised by a massive police presence , fighting broke out on the terraces 90 minutes before kick - off , but was quickly quelled . the england team had other problems . pre - match , birtles was interviewed by bobby charlton for english tv .
there i was being interviewed by one of the game ' s greatest players , and i was wearing purple trousers and these really loud purple shoes . quite what bobby made of me , i don ' t know .
nor was it the only fashion disaster .
we came out in our admiral tracksuits , who were among the leading kit makers at the time ,
says sansom .
then the italians , fantastically suntanned , appeared in these incredible ice - blue silk tracksuits and ray - bans - we felt like we were 1 - 0 down already .
once the game got underway , however , england showed no signs of an inferiority complex as wilkins and kennedy set about interrupting the italians '  rhythm , and birtles got stuck into the bruising encounter he had expected .
[ claudio ] gentile did everything he could to stop me scoring . if anybody was wrongly named , it was him ,
he laughs .
he was one of the greatest defenders in the world but he had his methods . he was kicking and pinching and he certainly let me know in no uncertain terms that he was going to get the better of me .
as the game wore on , bettega and scirea missed chances for the italians and england , too , came close , kennedy ' s shot crashing off the bar . but antognoni ' s influence in the italian midfield was growing , and 11 minutes from time , the fiorentina playmaker fed graziani near the left flank .
right - back phil neal went in clumsily , and was brushed aside by the italian wide man , whose low cross was headed into the back of the net by marco tardelli . england almost snatched a point , but dino zoff brilliantly pushed out keegan ' s last - gasp overhead kick .
it was a very quiet dressing room after the game ,
 says birtles .
to lose to such a late goal was very flattening , and things weren ' t quite the same afterwards .
that evening , goals from gerets and skipper cools were enough for belgium to beat spain 2 - 1 , making the belgians '  forthcoming clash with the hosts a decider for the final . the best greenwood ' s men could now hope for was the third - place play - off .
greenwood put on a brave face
i am only pleased we have been part of a game which has shown the best of football ,
 but england ' s difficulties were far from over .
the day after the match , italian newspaper tuttosport reported that keegan had accused romanian referee rainea of taking a bribe .
nobody can take it out of my mind that he has accepted money ,
england ' s skipper was alleged to have said . keegan fumed that the italian press had misunderstood him , but the row rumbled on , disrupting preparations for the spain match , until finally , the journalist who had written the piece admitted he had misquoted keegan and apologised .
criticised for the first time as england boss , greenwood was reeling .
if i ' ve failed , i ' ve failed ,
for greenwood , the knives were out . though his team managed a 2 - 1 win over spain in their final game , suddenly all of his methods were being questioned . the six changes he made for the match were seen as weakness .
criticised for the first time as england boss , greenwood was reeling .
if i ' ve failed , i ' ve failed ,
 he said .
i ' m certainly not making excuses for the team selection . we did our best , but it just wasn ' t good enough .
nor did the players escape the accusatory fingers .
the media reaction upon our return was vitriolic ,
says steve coppell .
i remember i was heavily criticised by former england players who ' d played in my position . it was very hurtful .
we were handicapped by missing out on tournaments after mexico . the germans and the italians had been there and done it over the years , and that was reflected in their performances .
greenwood stayed on for the final in rome , where horst hrubesch ' s late goal saw west germany beat belgium 2 - 1 . rumours that he would resign proved unfounded , but his honeymoon period was definitely over . the following season , the qualifiers for the 1982 world cup would yield three defeats and five matches without a win at wembley , the worst run in england ' s history .
sansom agrees .
we were handicapped by missing out on tournaments after mexico . the germans and the italians had been there and done it over the years , and that was reflected in their performances .
coppell puts it rather more succinctly .
the italy game was always going to be the big one ,
he says .
and we failed .
but for england , the true legacy of the 1980 european championship was far longer - lasting : hooliganism . despite the trouble , the fa optimistically made it clear they were keen to host the 1984 finals ; uefa gave the idea short shrift , awarding the tournament to france .
' the english disease '  overshadowed the football for more than a decade and , to this day , can cause bigger headlines than any group of players - even if they have got 19 european cup winners '  medals .

joe mccabe ( george reeves ) is a pharmacist who finds himself in a sticky situation when a wounded robber demands to be treated by him . rather than treating the man , joe places him under arrest and becomes a hero .
joe’s older brother , tommy ( dennis morgan ) , is a nightclub singer . in the audience for his performance one night is jerry sullivan ( gloria dickson ) , a pretty lady who finds tommy’s act amusing since it parodies a police officer . jerry’s family happens to be made up of cops , from her dad to her cousins . she invites him to her home for dinner , knowing they won’t take too kindly to his little parody song .
tommy begins falling for jerry , and after being humiliated in front of her family he decides to join the police academy to impress her .
completely misleading promotional art makes this look like a hard - boiled crime drama ! ( image : impawards . com )
tommy makes it through the program much to his delight , but instead of getting the girl he soon finds himself taking on members of the gang that wants revenge on his brother for arresting the wounded robber .
this film was listed as a crime drama when it played on tcm in march , but it’s actually got a whole lot of comedy . jerry’s snide treatment of tommy in the beginning , forcing him to sing his police parody song for her family , is absolutely hilarious . they’re “one of those couples” i enjoy watching so much , who try so hard to pretend that they hate each other but have a ton of chemistry and will inevitably end up together .
the level of drama picks up in the final quarter of the film , shifting into actual crime drama territory rather than romantic cuteness .

it’s the horror news no one was waiting to hear , but according to snoop dogg there will be a hood of horror sequel . cue collective groan . the 2006 flick , directed by stacy title , was essentially a ghetto version of “tales from the crypt” with three tales of terror told by the hound of hell ( snoop dogg ) that revolve around the residents of an inner - city neighborhood whose actions determine where they will go in the afterlife . hood of horror also starred danny trejo and daniella alonso .
( 1989 - 96 ) and to replace the rod serling / cryptkeeper - type narrator character with rapper snoop dogg to tell a series of hood - centred horror tales . now you might thing the idea of a horror film set among the urban hood is using a setting that has too many grim realities of its own to work but surprisingly the idea has been done before in

it just occurred to me that this would therefore make hood of horror the second project to feature both tucker smallwood and jason alexander in starring roles . truly , they are the new deniro and pacino .
take hood of horrors for what it is . some will enjoy any excuse for gratuitous violence . it certainly doesn ' t take itself seriously . but most fans can find plenty of better horror movies to satisfy the same need .

with a running time of 84 mins and an r rating for strong language , violence , gore , sex and nudity , hood of horror could have easily been edited down for pg13 audience and probably would have been a more successful movie . edit down even further and turn it into a weekly series for tv , say hbo , hood of horror might have been another hit like tales of the crypt . staff it with good writers , employ veteran actors to guest star in different episodes and more importantly let snoop flesh out his cribkeeper , a little less snoop , a little more hound of hell . i’d watch it ! i would give the show a chance because again , the idea of hood of horror is a pretty good one . it just didn’t have all the right elements .

i considered my ultimate horror fan . . . some surprises , funny and enjoy it . . .
i kind of forgot how utterly fucking terrible mid - 2000s horror could be , but when i watched this it all came flooding back .
i’ve read that snoop’s big horror fan , that’s why he likes doing these types of movies . i patiently await for the day where he decides to do a real serious horror movie . until then , this urban splatterfest only gets two pitchforks .
the concept of hood of horror should have been better than what was presented . there was talent there and good intentions , but once again , urban horror is comical to most people because it doesn’t take itself seriously enough to be considered scary . with so much death and destruction a part of regular daily life , real inner city folk don’t bother with tales of the boogeyman and such . hood of horror instead went for the cheap thrills , gory violence , scantily clad girls , and foul language . it was like watching a really long rap video . the stories are predictable and not particularly intelligent , but worst of all , where there was a spot for humor and blatant cheesiness that has saved many a b film from total obscurity , there were dozens of missed opportunities that could have turned this movie into a cult hit .

it’s amusing to me that i spent a paragraph on each story yesterday for tales from the hood and yet with hood of horror , the summary sentence pretty much does it justice . there is one fewer story with this movie but way less is done with the extra time devoted to it . it did seem that it was going for a much more tales from the crypt or creepshow vibe with how it was shot but the movie doesn’t manage to reach the same level of campy charm that either of those do . it also doesn’t really end up having much of a moral to any of the stories aside from maybe “don’t be cartoonishly evil” and it doesn’t even particularly address any actual issues that one might find in the hood .

hood of horror is a horror anthology i saw a while back , but never got around to reviewing , and as a result it ' s erased from my memory , but i ' ll do my best . basically snoop dog decides to imitate creepshow , only with b grade actors , and replacing it with tons of gracious gore . there ' s no thrills here , the dialog is incredibly silly , along with snoop dog showing up here and there . i am very non picky with horror antholigies , i enjoy most of them , but here there is honestly not much to enjoy , and the stories are pretty mediocre . bottom line . hood of horror isn ' t as bad as i thought , but not anything noteworthy either . it ' s well below average , and isn ' t something i ' m gonna see again any time soon . you could do worse then this i suppose , but wait for telly , and if nothing else is on . 4 / 10
anyway , as demon snoop tells us , he runs things here and the only way to get redemption in the hood of horrors is to listen and learn from his tales of terror . so sit back while snoop drops some knowledge on ya .
snoop went as far to say he had even discussed further chapters with co - stars aries spears and trejo , who also played a hound of hell . it will be interesting to see just how much support there is for a sequel / s , considering hood of horror made a devastating $ 25 , 900 at the us box office with an estimated budget of $ 5 million . we don’t know too many doggies who would want more of that biscuit .

after this we get a montage of posie going kill crazy and crossing out tags all over the hood interspersed with shots of pastor lando calrissian comforting grieving families at the church . eventually posie decides to get some work in on the mural , but she ' s interrupted by a none - too - pleased psycho trejo who admonishes her , saying that she could have stopped the cycle of hood violence but instead she chose to make the wheels spin faster .

see , despite tex jr . being the embodiment of every redneck stereotype there is , he sure as shit ain ' t no patriot , explaining that his daddy wanted him to enlist in the marines during the gulf war , but he bribed his way into the texas national guard instead . hilarious that even snoop dogg ' s hood of horror felt the need to take potshots at president dubya .

because the ho and bitch quotient on this website has been lacking recently…it’s snoop dogg’s hood of horror ! this is snoop’s third foray into horror ( not counting soul plane ) , and it might actually be his best , ranking somewhere in the neighbor”hood” of bones in overall quality . despite a campy poster , the production value is surprisingly high , including a great cast , spectacularly gruesome special effects , strong direction ( from a white woman , no less — stacy title , who helmed the great dark comedy the last supper ) and an impressive anime prelude that explains the story behind devon ( snoop ) , a gangsta who accidentally shoots his little sister and makes a deal with the devil to bring her back to life in exchange for his life . he’s then forced to serve satan as some sort of gatekeeper to whom souls of people looking for redemption come — but first , they must listen to his stories , because…well , otherwise we wouldn’t have a movie . this is a horror anthology that will certainly be compared to tales from the hood — and rightly so — but snoop , as dry as ever with his monotone weed - speak , is hardly the storyteller that clarence williams’ mr . simms character was .
we are pretty proud of our current show . mystery , suspense , plot that will keep you guessing until the last minute . oh , and some fun laughs to break up all the horror .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
the film ends in another animated short where all the main characters are taken down to hell . hood of horrors does not reach the quality of tales from the hood , but it ' s better than nite tales . each story has it ' s moments , but they ' re nothing spectacular . they are helped along by including well - known serious actors and some good makeup and effects . the animation is very good and reminds me of todd mcfarlane ' s spawn animated series . overall , the movie is watchable , but not unmissable .

the production design throughout is tremendous ; from the wide shots of the neon - flecked city to its dusty , ruined outskirts , to the immensely creepy hoods themselves , the visuals are deeply satisfying . the cinematography is superb , particularly towards the end , as ross and honour find the titular hood maker ' s lair . there are some fantastic beats – the encroaching teeps gently snapping the threads that stand between them and their prey – while the shot of the hood maker ' s eventual fate is hugely evocative .

truthfully , there’s four stories here because we learn how “the cribkeeper” earned his station in a nice anime sequence that opens up the movie . after a violent shootout with another gang leaves his baby sister dead , a young man trades his soul to the devil in exchange for her to return home to their mama alive and well . he then becomes the hound of hell , aka the cribkeeper , the guy who shows lost souls their new residence in the hood of horror .
snoop ' s first tale is about his girl posie , a graffiti artist with a score to settle with the gangbangers in her hood . it seems her mom was a victim of gang violence , and poor little posie had herself a william - murderface - type
snoop dogg plays sexy urban crypt keeper in this one , sporting braided blonde hair and flanked by comely demon bitches as he narrates three tales of unmitigated / over - the - top ghetto horror . tale the first finds a poetic rooftop hell troll taking sides in a violent graffiti turf war ( you will see a man’s crotch explode ) . hood horror # 2 concerns ernie hudson and his band of brothers being imposed upon by an evil money - grubbing southerner who inherits their building under dubious circumstances . snoop saves the best for last , though , ending his trilogy with the scrooge - like story of an arrogant rapper who forsakes his less cocksure dj for fame , money , and statutory rape .

i ' d made the 12 - hour plane - cab - bus journey to the timberline for the first - ever overlook film festival , a four - day horror festival with film screenings , panels , and an emphasis on immersive experiences designed to scare the crap out of you . i snagged my pass as a horror fan and a longtime devotee of the shining ; to be honest , i don ' t need an excuse to hole up in a hotel for a few days and watch a dozen horror movies in a row , but it ' s always nice to have a little added incentive .

. . . i ' ' ve been getting pretty sick of horror films lately , every one is pretty much the same movie . hood of horror is totally different , though . it ' s three stories , not one , and they ' re kind of like tales from the crypt , except they ' re all in the inner city . snoop plays the
cribkeeper
- - haha - - which makes for some really hilarious scenes . and the death scenes are awesome , you wouldn ' t believe how some of the people die in this film , it ' s rad ! and brande roderick is in it , she is so hot . so is daniella alonso . even jason alexander is in this movie , the cast is pretty nuts . this might not be the best horror film ever made , but it ' s definitely one of the funniest , and it ' s a refreshing spin on a genre that ' s starting to feel a little old again . good date movie , too , or just drinking beer and laughing at crap .

the stories themselves could use some work — they’re generic revenge tales that lack any twists or , aside from “the slumlord , ” any viable humor — but they’re executed well , with strong acting , direction , and eye - popping , stomach - exploding , st . ides - skewering gore that show off production values on par with many wide theatrical releases . now , if only they could team it all with a rapper who can act : w ill smith’s hood of horror ?
cue a quick interlude with snoop , watcher of the hood , who is none too pleased by the arrival of the

but advises the audience to
spark em if ya got ' em

lock up your sheep
( what ? ! ) because
there goes the muthafuckin neighborhood .
in all , it’s a fairly disappointing movie . there’s a lot of random weird animated things like the intro and the in - between segments which are very anime looking . there are a whole lot of actual recognizable celebrities but nobody really seems to be bringing their acting a - game outside of possibly ernie hudson . nothing seems to flow well and even the best of the stories end up falling short of what they could have been . in all , i’d give this a 2 out of 5 . it’s amusing enough to watch but there really isn’t any sort of substance to it or reason to watch it over any of the other , much better , horror anthologies .

we kick off with some admittedly pretty cool animation running over the opening credits that serves as an origin story of sorts for snoop ' s character . this is one of the better - looking parts of the movie , so i won ' t be shy with the caps ( click the pics to zoom in , btw ) . two cars speed through the hood in mid turf war firefight . one of the homeys is obviously some kind of demon - his apocalypse - sized devil grin is a dead giveaway - while one of the others is obviously a more ripped anime ' d - out snoop named devon .

of course , we follow what might be one of the best death scenes ever committed to film with one of the lamest , as nib discovers streako ' s corpse and runs to a phone booth ( must be the hood - this movie ' s from 2006 ) to call an ambulance i guess ? not so sure any amount of medical attention is going to help much when your brain ' s been replaced by a glass bottle of steel city reserve . but posie crosses out nib , too , and the pay phone cord wraps around his throat , slitting it .
as a self - contained story , infusing under the red hood with rocksteady’s universe works really well . the entire game is about batman pushing away his friends when they try to help him because he deems it too dangerous . at one point he literally locks the current robin ( tim drake ) in a cell to prevent him from trying to take on scarecrow , and so his rival turning out to be the robin he let die is more than a little appropriate . honestly , i might even like this telling of the red hood tale more than the original .
another notable demon in the hood of horror is a legless baller - played for about 10 seconds by tayshaun prince - named footloose who absolutely has to be a reference to ( or ripoff of ) the only tales from the crypt episode i can remember that prominently featured any black actors - the one where the cheap ass funeral director hacks his baller grandkid ' s feet off so he can hide his body in a cheaper , shorter coffin . ( that is , other than the one in which james remar uses a chess game as a means to bang whoopi goldberg ) .
and that right there is probably the best part of this entire movie . we ' re about 20 minutes in and it ' s going to be hard to top that . i mean , holy shit , the old

only the crack epidemic has claimed the lives of more inner - city youths . this film ' s existence is completely justified ( if it even had to be ) by this scene , because hood of horror is probably the only movie that could feature a death by 40oz impalement and not have it seem tacked on .
i was going to see another movie , but i decided to tag along with troy to a more unique festival experience , a live taping of larry fessenden and glenn mcquaid’s horror podcast tales from beyond the pale . i had my doubts — podcasts are made to be listened to ! — but tales is really more of a classic horror radio play than a podcast . and it’s honestly a thrill to witness great voice actors do what they do best . watching someone sip water in between screaming bloody murder was worth the price of admission alone . uh , not that the event cost extra .

the arkham knight is a twisted variant of the red hood . joker reveals that he simply brainwashed todd and didn’t kill him , and in the game , todd wants quite literally nothing but to see batman suffer and eventually die . in their climactic battle , batman rips off his faux - bat mask to reveal a sub - helmet that looks quite a bit like the red hood mask , and obvious nod from rocksteady . batman convinces todd he can be redeemed , and he intervenes to help later in the game after scarecrow unmasks batman as bruce wayne for the world to see .

so we wrap things up with the hound of hell perched on his demonic throne , flanked by his vamps and his midget demon . snoop tells us that everything we saw is just what he does - make sure that people get to where they need to go . it must be hard work , because half - pint tries to quit , but snoop denies him - they ' re locked in for eternity , after all . so they make up and pound it out , and the movie comes to a pretty anticlimactic end with a music video of sorts for snoop ' s hood of horror soundtrack smash - hit
there goes the neighborhood
running over the credits .
but i’m glad i pulled myself together and made it to the centerpiece screening of the overlook film festival , lady macbeth , an unconventional choice for a horror festival but the film i’ve loved the most so far . it takes quite a while for the horror to seep into the story of an unhappy wife ( florence pugh ) in rural 1865 england who ends up having an affair with a man ( cosmo jarvis ) who works for her husband . once the movie takes a turn , though , it’s shockingly dark and brutal , the kind of terror that catches you off - guard and gets under your skin . not that i really needed that at my current state of fragility .
this movie is what happens when you take tales from the hood and replace spike lee with snoop dogg . this movie follows three different stories while loosely having a thread of snoop dogg tying the whole thing together . snoop plays almost a grim reaper type character that collects souls that are going to hell . there are three stories in this horror anthology ; a tagger that is given the ability to kill , a redneck couple that pushes some vietnam vets to the limit , and a rapper that has his past come back to haunt him .
fans of the series already have ideas for how what happens to the actors ' names could connect with the events of the show — and it ' s already making them really suspicious of certain characters .

is a film that fails to rise to the wackiness of its premise . there is an animated prologue about how hoh got his name and , while the animation is interesting , the pace of the segment is far too laidback and voice recording too quiet to be effective . the segments with snoop dogg as narrator are fairly terrible . snoop tries to deliver everything in rhyme but his accent mangles it  hood of horrors comes out sounding like hood of whores .  snoop doog makes all the requisite bad puns but , try as he might , he just cannot do the evilly cackling narrator thing . tripped out as a pimp and accompanied by his hoes , he merely looks seedy . in truth , take away the guys bling and in plainclothes the only part you could cast him in would be the role of the snitch or a sleazy individual pushing drugs to children on a tv cop show .
in the past few years , there has been a tremendous upsurge in interest for john carpenter’s signature score compositions following the success of the carpenter’s lost themes and lost themes ii albums , and subsequent tours . the rare director - composer combo , carpenter’s scores for his classic horror films are a favorite of electronic music aficionados . pulsing , moody , dread - filled , christine is a car - centric and pop - tinted progression of the halloween score and it’s probably this writer’s favorite of all the carpenter soundtracks .
agent ross – a particularly dashing richard madden – is lumped with a new partner , a teep named honour ( holliday grainger ) . when a protest march turns ugly , they discover one of the dissidents wearing a special hood – one that blocks telepaths from reading the wearer ' s mind . with tensions running so high , the pair must work together to track down the source of the hoods before they become readily available .

after the bad batch , i was beginning to remember how much film festivals take out of you , especially when the movies you’re seeing inevitably incorporate dismemberment . i decided to take a break and try out some of overlook’s more interactive offerings . i’d been emailing with teal greyhavens , who has the best name ever , and who came to the festival on behalf of dark corner studios , a film production company that specializes in immersive vr horror . teal told me to come check out their latest film , mule , which has viewers lie down in a coffin before strapping on a headset . yes , i decided to take a
break
with immersive vr horror .
this one probably had the most entertaining story with the most disappointing ending . it ' s not a horror story and i ' m not exactly sure what they were thinking . the acting is good and the story has some funny moments , but it ' s all lost with such a weak ending . it ' s even more confusing when snoop dogg ' s character just kind of shows up at the end . it comes out of nowhere and is really unnecessary . it ' s a shame because the story was good only to be ruined by half - assing it on the horror front .
horror comedy starring rapper snoop dogg . the movie consists of three spooky tales , beginning with the story of a tagger who finds out that not all gangstas die hard . the next tale follows the murderous adventures of a spoiled heir to a texan oil dynasty who kills for money . the final story follows a major rap star who discovers he ' s got a few skeletons in his dressing room - and they ' re kicking down the door .

to complement the remastered audio , award - winning artist and leading designer in the world of alternative movie posters , gary pullin was commissioned to create original artwork for the packaging . “i’ve always loved stephen king’s novel and the cover is a stunner – a stylized hood ornament with a screaming skull , christine in chrome as it blazes across the hard cover , ” he explained . “for the film’s score , i wanted to feature the plymouth fury logo front and centre , in a simplistic and new way . the shape of the v reminded me of devil horns – she’s the car from hell ! the blue glow represents the supernatural force living under the hood and inside her evil grinning grill . i often go for atmospheric designs when creating artwork for movie soundtracks and the art seemed like a perfect fit for the electronic score that carpenter and howarth created to drive the film’s suspense and bring the fury of christine to life . ”
