![]() There is some hilarity involving Mikes' dotty, senile mother (Mary Ellen O'Neill, "Galaxy of Terror"), but this material seems to exist in a different movie altogether. There are enough laughs and good moments to qualify this as pleasant, if not uproarious, fare. As far as the comedy content goes, this may not be a prime Conway & Knotts vehicle, but one can certainly do worse. Filmed on location in Atlanta, this film benefits from the local atmosphere. Bags (the boxer) participates in a series of fights which he doesn't know are fixed, all on the way to confronting the reigning champion, "The Butcher" (Michael LaGuardia, "Total Recall"). The two of them are struggling and starving, but catch the attention of young mobster Mike (Robin Clarke, "The Formula"), who uses them as pawns in his scheme to acquire the gym of crusty old trainer Pop Morgan (David Wayne, "Adam's Rib"). ![]() Anyway, I already know you’re going to pull that Wookalar joke on someone, please tell me about it when you do.Tim Conway and Don Knotts once again make a comfortable comedy team, playing a dumb boxer and his goofy manager in a tale set in the 1930s. Our Creator lovingly made us and now calls us into a relationship with Him and calls us His people. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. ![]() Because it also says in Psalms in chapter 100: ![]() But to me that takes much greater faith than trusting that there is a Great Designer and He created us and as it is written in Psalms 39.ġ4 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.Īnd not only is there a Creator but there is a Creator we can know and have a personal relationship with. Look, I know people who have already decided that the eye, like the rest of the body, just came about through evolution. I loved when it happened because it gave me the opportunity to talk about how amazing the human body is and how clear it is that we were designed by a Master Designer. After it would start, I would always do the exact same lesson about how our eyes adjust to light and so the reflection you are actually seeing is your own as you become more accustom to the dark. There are several variations, like you say her name 3 times or twelve or whatever and then she kills you or haunts you but all basically the same thing. If you aren’t familiar with that its when you go to the bathroom and turn off the lights and she appears in the mirror. Speaking of mirrors, as a camp director almost every summer I had to deal with “Bloody Mary”. Honestly, whoever wrote that movie should just be happy anyone remembers it 39 years later. Again, they did not think it was funny but what they did think was funny was holding up a picture of me and saying that I was the Wookalar. If you decide to watch it all let me know if it holds up.Ī few days later we were meeting, and I hung up a picture from the movie of the Wookalar. I found the scene from the movie if you want to check it out. Just saying the word Wookalar is funny to me. They knew it was going to be dumb and to them it was, to me however it was amazingly funny. We open the church doors closest to our house so they can have access to bathrooms and last week I just couldn’t help but ask a few if they had seen the Wookalar. With our students we are still meeting outdoors under the carport of the mission house Bronwyn and I currently occupy. Even typing it, the thing makes me laugh. Just above the sink is the mirror and the joke is, “they are the Wookalar”. Most of the time they know I’m just playing a joke that only I will think is funny and most of the time they are also correct. To me one of the funniest things I can tell a student, of any age, is that there is a Wookalar in the bathroom just above the sink. I don’t remember the context of it in the movie I just thought it was a hilarious name for a monster, I guess I still do. One thing always stayed with me from that movie though, the word Wookalar. I haven’t seen it in a long, long time but somehow, I think it probably isn’t as funny as I thought when I was little. Have you ever seen the movie “Private Eyes” with Tim Conway and Don Knotts? I know I saw it many times with my sister and we always thought it was so funny.
