I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
"Flying Feat" is the first of three Roland and Rattfink shorts directed by Gerry Chiniquy, who directed many of the brilliant The Inspector cartoons. In this one, Roland goes off to college and wants to try out for the track team. The coach's top runner is a no-show, so he forces Roland into the race against the rival school's top runner, a continually smoking Rattfink. The outclassed Rattfink, naturally, attempts to cheat a victory.This isn't a bad short at all. The pacing is fine, unlike many R&R shorts that would come later. It's just that the gags aren't quite as good as they could have been. The funniest moment comes when the starting pistol is fired and Rattfink grabs a hold of Roland's shorts. The other gags aren't great, but they at least aren't lame, either, so the episode finds itself in the middle of the pack. Still, it's worth seeing. Zantara's score: 6 out of 10.
