70 Movies We Saw in the 70s: Ep #18 — ROLLERCOASTER (1977)
It’s a screaming Cyclone of a loop-de-loop episode upside-down and backward as Mike and Ben strap in and plunge howling into the mad-bomber-at-the-amusement park epic, ROLLERCOASTER — in the miracle of SENSURROUND!
Just try keeping your cotton candy down as we explore:
• George Segal’s mastery of the hot comb!
• Ben’s .750 batting average with Sensurround movies!
• Teenage Helen Hunt’s PCP-fueled charge through a plate glass window!
• The vinyl-snarfing baboons of Warner Brothers’ Jungle Habitat!
• Civil servant Hank Fonda’s puzzling replica of Larry Flynt’s office!
• Dick’s width marks!
• Pops McP’s classic wisecrack at THE BRADY BUNCH, “Second prize is a week in Cincinnati. First prize is one day in Cincinnati!”
Now, everybody sing: “Hello to Yogi! Hello to Boo-Boo! Hello to Scooby-Doo! Barney and Fred say hi!...”
