Where Bakshi’s other films felt bold and inventive, this one feels like it was released just to be released. And it’s odd origin story really seems to impact it at times. The live-action scenes were later replaced with animation and parts of the dialogue were re-edited resulting in the film that eventually hit theaters.

It seems this movie had a long road to release and was originally completed in 1975 as a live-action and animation hybrid. Vinnie has to convince the rest of the Stompers this fight is for everyone’s good, despite the fact it really came about out of his own stupidity and big mouth. With his best friend Crazy Shapiro (David Proval), the two find themselves in trouble with a rival gang, The Chaplains. This film feels smaller and like a look into a personal story as we follow Vinnie Genzianna (Richard Romanus), the leader of a 1950s greaser gang in Brooklyn called The Stompers. So far in this project, we have reviewed three movies from him with American Pop & Heavy Metal, and now it’s on to Hey Good Lookin’. Ralph Bakshi was a very busy man in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Check them out over at Vintage Video Podcast. We’ve listened to numerous episodes and it’s fun checking off their thoughts against my own. Quick side note: Since we launched this series this year, we’ve discovered that Vintage Video Podcast is doing the exact same project with two differences: First, it’s audio (naturally), and second, they are doing every major film. This time around, it’s October 1, 1982, and we’re off to see Hey Good Lookin’ and My Favorite Year! In some cases, it truly will be the first time we’ve seen them. All films are also watched again for the purposes of these reviews and are not being done from memory. The articles will come out – in most cases – on the same day the films hit theaters in 1982 so that it is their true 40th anniversary. Yes, we’re insane, but 1982 was that great of a year for film. We’re going to pick and choose which movies we hit, but right now the list stands at nearly four dozen.
