I hadn't seen this since HBO was the only Pay TV service in town (with those potato chip can antenna). It is still very funny and goofy. Mc Hale is laid back.

Still A Classic
Added 5/1/2009
This is still a classic. I remember seeing this movie as a kid, and laughing at some of the crazy antics that were going on. I had to add it to my dvd collection.

Alternate Version
Added 12/29/2008
If you grew up in the early 80's watching this over and over, then you see this "new" Widescreen edition, you'll notice many differences. First of all, it's in Widescreen, the print is cleaned up significantly, which in my opinion is fantastic! The major differences however lie in the soundtrack. Gone are the obvious over-dub's by the actors (there are some here, but not nearly as many, or as obvious as the "original" version we all grew up with.) The most annoying thing however, is the overuse of the movie's theme. Many scenes that were quiet in the "Original" version are saturated with the theme. It actually detracts from the movie in my opinion. In addition, some scenes are extended, which is nice, because remembering the "Original" or cable version, there were some obvious cuts to scenes that seemed out of place.
So, which version is better? I actually would prefer this print with the "original"/cable soundtrack in place, which wouldn't be difficult to do with an editing system, if it weren't for the extended scenes that would obviously throw off the sync. One could still do it I suppose, but it would be some work...
Bottom line is this print is the best it's looked by far. I'm wondering if this is simply another region's DVD, ported to Region 1? The main titles that kick off the movie don't say "SuperFuzz" but rather "SuperSnooper" which makes the movie's theme song make more sense!
Glad I have both versions anyhow!

Nostalgia is great, isn't it?
Added 12/17/2008
So I was going around looking for an old movie from the 80's that I hadn't seen since 1986 when I was still just a kid. I ran across the title and found it here. This movie is awesome!!! I believe it may have been one of the movies that inspired me to make some of my own life choices. The main character does stuff, regardless of what anyone else says, including his stubborn-headed partner. Even though his power goes when he sees the color red, don't we all have a weakness we just can't seem to tackle; one that we live with and work around anyway? Yes! This is one of my all-time favorite movies and I'm glad I had a chance to get a hold of it!

Super Superrrrrrrrrrrr!
Added 10/11/2008
We came to this movie fresh, not having seen it as kids or prior to it being released on DVD. We just loved it.What's to love?Well yes, it's corny, but that's part of the charm of these fantastical, ridiculous movies. Ernest Borgnine is his great lovable self.It's a funny, hilarious movie which keeps moving, lots of action and fun, and Trinity of course never disappoints. Just innocent fun and lots of laughs.A great addition to Trinity collectors. Enjoy!
