Director Michael Ritchie spoofs survivalists in this rambling black comedy. Donald Quinelle (Robin Williams) is a successful young executive who is called to his boss' office one morning and is fired by a parrot sitting in the CEO's chair -- a method the company uses to axe high-powered execs. Donald meets Sonny Paluso (Walter Matthau), a former gas station owner who is out of work because his business was blown up. At a diner, the two newfound friends witness a robbery and catch sight of the perpetrator, Jerry Reed (Jack Locke). Reed is a mob hit man who swears to kill the two men who saw him commit the crime. Donald, formerly afraid of weapons, becomes obsessed with guns as a way to protect himself from the mob. He enrolls in a survivalist training school in the mountains of Vermont. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

Spaghetti-western stalwarts Terence Hill and Bud Spencer star in the Italian actioner Go For It. The stars play a couple of self-styled "supercops" who take on a demented scientist. The villain has invented an all-powerful "K Bomb," intending to detonate the device in a major metropolis. Hill and Spencer must contend with martial arts-trained busboys, a femme fatale called Der Vamp (Faith Minton) and -- even worse! -- a troupe of demonic child actresses, as they race against time. The "E. B. Clucher" credited with the direction of Go For It is actually a pseudonym for Enzo Barboni. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
