Opinion on this film?

The lead was great. Other than that fact, thoughts?

THESE MEN ARE PAWNS

I have put a price of twenty thousand dirham on their heads.

I liked the bad songs more than anything else. I'd download the OST, if it existed.

they will be hung as the true messengers of GOD

They were just a couple of songwriters who came to Ishtar to break into show business.

and a one and a two and a

I got this reaction shot from an extra in the crowd during one of the scenes near the beginning where Hoffman and Beatty are performing their songs.

Is that a young Dylan Baker.

thanks for the reaction image

It's great to see it receive its due finally. Maybe Elaine May will get to make another theatrical feature before she dies.

Hey, maybe. Not on his imdb page, if it is.

You're welcome.

The hell's the matter with him, is he blind?

Check out the ishtar website

i never saw it
but elaine may's previous work mikey and nicky is pretty good. it's peter falk and john cassavetes playing gangsters and arguing about random stuff while a hitman tries to find them. it's like a cassavetes film despite him not directing it.

YOUR GIRL? WHY DOES SHE GET TO BE YOUR GIRL?

THREE TWO THREE FOUR
FOUR TWO THREE FOUR

Are those vultures?

Is Ishtar really that awful?

ONE TWO THREE

It's not funny, but it could be a lot worse. It's only infamous because Elaine May made good movies before it and its budget blew out

It is what it is and you can enjoy it for that.

Not seen it but the backstory of the disaster production on wiki is incredible, will have to watch it now. It's an Alien 3 level shitshow.

A New Leaf is great too, one of my favorite films
