Linda Patterson

Loved it, the scenes, the characters were so well done and the acting was great. Story line wonderful. I did not need so much very graphic violence. Don't like it, it could have been handled differently But..the sound..the background, the howling screetchy singing drove me NUTS. It actually hurt my ears and I had to watch it with the remote in hand to mute that awful background howling sound.Who the hell thought that was acceptable. Sounded more American Indian (but not nearly as nice) Utred character actor was FABULOUS. Very convincing, adorable and so darn gorgeous.

Cheesy and predictable and a little too 'born again' for me, though I found it enjoyable I wouldn't recommend it.

I gave this movie 4 stars for the sole reason that I've never forgotten it in 30 years. The premise is hilarious. A goofball guy who steals bananas for laughs with his handicapped charges turns out to be a dead-ringer for a mafioso in hiding. The mafioso's inamorata lures Johnnie to their hometown where he is mistaken for the mafioso and of course they try to kill him because they think he's gone to the police to rat on them. Johnnie Stechhino means Johnny Toothpick because the bad guy always had a toothpick out of his mouth. The buffoon who has stolen a banana mistakenly thinks everyone is trying to kill him for stealing a banana. Just thinking about it makes me laugh. Unfortunately, you can't see nor buy this movie in the US and there are warning about purchasing a DVD for $90 because it may not play on US devices. Someone at some point has to bring back this little gem of a movie.
