18KCold Dog – Zur Hölle mit dem Himmelhund: Directed by Alan Metter. With Randy Quaid, Frank Whaley, Christine Harnos, Sheree North. Michael meets a cute girl and has dinner at her mom’s. Sadly, the dog dies and he’s to bury it. The mad cab driver suggests selling the cold dog. An adventurous night begins.
“Randy Quaid (National Lampoonu0026#39;s Cousin Eddie from 1986u0026#39;s XMas Vacation) steals this absurd, obscure (unless you get IFC) and priceless indie as the out-of-your-nightmare cab driver, Jack Cloud. Frank, the innocent, hooks up with the one-gloved wonder,Christine, for what seems on the surface to be an innocent date. Keep your eyes and ears open as the date falls apart faster than a 2 week floater in the Ohio River! Christineu0026#39;s dog, Jasper, chokes on an anchovy-stuffed olive and plays the death scene to the hilt. Then the fun begins! Madame Chang (Nancy Kwan) eloquently clues us in to the meaning of the movie title; but as all the performances defy description, just watch it and enjoy the ride!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eQuaidu0026#39;s u0026quot;Time Fliesu0026quot; monologue is forever quotable – The scripting is beautiful, location shots just too much fun – well, you can watch this again and again and never catch all the detail. Kudos to Alan Metter, Thomas Pope and the originator – Stephen Dobyns for a fab book from which to begin.”
