THIS FILM MUST HAVE A PRESERVATION!!!

This film is “BATMAN” (60’s Show) meets “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World” at a “Beach Party” Acid Test.

THIS EPIC HAS IT ALL…

Jackie Gleason and the male Villains from the BATMAN T.V. show on LSD??? Austin Pendleton’s First Film!!! Groucho Marx’s Last Film!!!
And it’s all directed by BATMAN’s Mr. Freeze Otto Preminger!! How could this film not be on any video format?

It’s been said that Groucho took the L.S.D. drug to prepare for this role, and enjoyed it. (The L.S.D. trip, not his part in the film)

Did a bit of searching, and found a torrent for a 1-CD AVI version at greylodge.org. I don't know if it's still seeded or how good the quality is. It's apparently a rip from a 2nd generation VHS, duped from a beta sp copy made from a print out of a studio vault.

How funny! My Mom was on the set of this movie when it was being made. I've always wanted to see it.

You can preview the entire film (in 10 parts) on "YOU TUBE".
Search "Skidoo"

Warning... It's Pure 60's CAMP, and the jokes are not funny at all. It's a nice look at the 60's culture via Hollywood. The L.S.D. trip is a bit amusing. The Austin Powers movies try to re-create the madcap feel of this type of 60's film.

I was wondering if it was on YouTube- I'll check it out. I remember finding a movie program from Skidoo among my Mom's stuff when I was a child (it had a photo of the girl's hips on it like the pic above) and I asked her what it was. She explained that it was from a movie that was not very good.
