Man they are fat

 

Disorderlies (1987)

Directed by Michael Schultz

So back in '87 I saw a little movie called Disorderlies. I wish I could say it changed my life but it sure didn't. I bet the studio got together and asked the age old question, "Is it time to remake The Three Stooges for this generation?" I have the answer to that question; it is always a big NO. I love the Fat Boys, who doesn't, this movie was a head of it's time and that time still hasn't come.

Disorderlies was directed by Michael Schultz the same master behind the camera that brought us Krush Groove; a true classic and The Last Dragon. If you haven't seen the last picture I mention, you should just kill yourself.

The flick stars, well it stars The Fat Boys, who else could pull this movie off with out a hitch. The Fat Boys are Mark Morales, Damon Wimbley and Darren Robinson other wise known as the human beat box. Playing the old man was Ralph Bellamy star of Trading Places. Let's just say that for never being actors The Fat Boys are as bad as you might think. The best actor out of the group is Morales and that isn't saying much.

Disorderlies takes place in Miami, my home town. Mark Morales liked it so much he does a radio show here. The flick is about an old man who is slowly dying and his good for nothing nephew is trying to speed up the process so he can get the millions of dollars. The nephew decides to hire the worst orderlies possible hence The Fat Boys. At first the old man hates them because they are laid back home boys but when they loose his pills while playing poker, well lets just say the comedy ensues.

The boys take the old man to the roller rink, because that is what crazy home boys do in the '80's. This movie turns into one hell of a roller coaster ride from here on out. Can the boys stop the evil nephew or are they just too dumb for their own good? You'll have to watch Disorderlies to find out!

This movie is fun to watch at least once. I can admit that I saw this forgotten classic in the theaters as a young lad. That might explain this crazy site. Watch and enjoy the new Three Stooges.

Till next time...

Video Junkie Extra:

The human beat box/Darren Robinson passed away in 1995 at the young age of 28. He was one of the first rappers to preform the beat box and made it famous and a staple of hip-hop in the '80's. 

Ralph Bellamy has also passed away in 1991 at the age of 87. He was best known for his role as one of the brothers from Trading Places and again in a small cameo in Coming to America. He starred in over 100 pictures. Two very talented people that are missed today.
