Par H @Parhwy Jul 20 Gas-s-s-s (1970) is a 78-minute-long US comedy I saw on Prime in July 2026. This is a quirky, weird, chaotic, cliché-riddled, naïve, silly, annoying, almost pointless film filled with quirkiness, weirdness, chaos, cliches, naivety, silliness, annoyances and pointlessness. Welcome to the death throes of hippy culture. It took me four sittings to finish this film. It’s altogether intense with bad acting, utterly pre-teen jokes (no offence any 0-12 year olds reading this review), and a story/plot at war with itself. Thing is, I am not sure it set out to be more than what it is, and you have to applaud whoever compiled the budget for the props, cast, extras, cameras, etc. Rewatch? No. Recommend? Oddly, yes, it’s a wild ride. 2/10. See more nick s @Nick_S Sep 10 I was worried this movie might be based on an epidemic of flatulence. After watching it, I wish it was. Anything would be an improvement on this half-baked, totally unfunny shambles. Even a couple of low-brow fart jokes. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 1 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Patrick S @patseitz 08/14/2022 Has a goofy, groovy 1960s charm, but it's pretty dumb. See more 04/06/2016 Everyone under 25 dies and then...nothing happens. See more 07/25/2015 Even Roger Corman should be embarrassed over this one. One of the highleghts was a Golf Cart chase. Horrible acting, horrible music and both Cindy and Ben must have really needed the money. One star is generous See more Read all reviews
