What fun! I stumbled onto this movie in progress on a program called “Golden Age of Comedy Movies.” I paused when I saw Arnold and Ann-Margret in an obsolete western, fascinating as to what this was. When Ann-Margret leaned out of the relate and handed Arnold her bags, nearly falling out of her low-cut dress in the process and saying, “Consume gain of these,” I knew this wasn’t a serious drama I was watching. When Kirk Douglas showed up, I was crooked. It’s impossible not to fabricate comparisons with The Roadrunner cartoons as Kirk Douglas performs impossible leaps and survives intact after being crushed by a giant boulder and hit by a divulge. His true sidekick, Whiskey the horse, is a pure delight. It’s unique to behold Arnold in cowboy garb. His job is mostly to survey studly and his lines mostly consist of, “I really don’t know!” delivered with a bewildered glance. Definitely a one-of-a-kind movie. Don’t glance it if you’re expecting broad acting and writing, but if you honest want to accumulate in on the fun of mammoth name stars acting very amusing, you’ll esteem it.
“The Villain” is a fun shrimp guilty pleasure, a Looney Toons cartoon disguised as a live-action Western and featuring some major names. The comedy is so slapstick and the dialogue so screwball, one cannot wait on but wonder what the heck Kirk Douglas is doing in a film like this! Perhaps he was cleansing himself of the debacle that was “The Fury”.
That being said, all the actors in the film play it with the earnestness all proper comedy needs to succeed. Hal Needham, in the middle hour of his directing heyday, acquits himself well without his usual lead actor Burt Reynolds. Needham plays up the material for all it is worth, achieving the same type of trusty world/cartoon symmetry “Roger Rabbit” is eminent for. Arnold Schwarzenegger makes a hilarous splash against type as a profitable cowboy whose name constitutes one of the best gags in the film. In fact, it is the three leads that perform “The Villain” a worthwhile and easy perceive, as their “for keeps” performances eliminate the self-mocking mail-in performances that doom many mediocre projects.
Therefore, either for the cult film enthusiast or casual viewer, this would be an easy recommendation for grasp or rental. HOWEVER, the DVD release of this film gets the glaring 1 (wish it was zero) rating for the increasingly emerging cardinal sin of DVD’s - a pan & scan only release with minimal to no extras. According to reports, various consumer focus groups and studies have led studios to hold people are intimidated by the letterboxing dim bars and want the safety, familiarity, and cropped comfort of full-screen. Why they wouldn’t offer both (especially with no extras) is beyond me. Why they would believe a film with a minute, but dedicated following would bag this is equally beyond me. Sorry, Hal, Kirk, Ann, and Arnold, until Columbia ponies up a more generous version of your film, “The Villain” won’t be hiding out in my collection anytime soon.
