When I think of the other movies that Roland Emmerich has directed, I am astounded to think that he actually had his hands involved in something so strange as the 1988 film, GHOST CHASE. Set in Hollywood, California, two young independent film-makers just trying to pay the bills, get a pawn ticket as inheritance from an old grandfather who passed on years ago. They receive a clock and a few photographs with the pawn ticket, all packed into a lovely brown suitcase. And when midnight strikes (or one o'clock, it's never made completely clear when exactly), the ghost of Louis, butler to the deceased grandfather comes to life, who looks like an odd mix of Yoda and E.T. and maybe Kermit the Frog thrown in there somewhere. What ensues is quite the romp for a long lost treasure, and of course the nasty villain who wants his hands on it as well.
First off, Warren is acted horribly. I wanted to just about die watching him scream for help near the end in his whiny, cracking voice. And he's a jerk the entire film - I don't know how anyone could ever appreciate his character. He seemed more like a "bad guy" than the villain, played here by Paul Gleason. But Fred and Lori are pretty fun, and if anything saves this movie, it's the butler, Louis, quite funny and of course, very proper.
There's quite a bit of cussing in the movie, and that needs to be taken into consideration before watching. Other content is very mild, gore/violence is next to zero, and sexual content is limited to one or two quick mentions of the word.
Overall, fun, definitely eighties, and a pretty quick film for a cheesy movie night. |
