Jekyll and Hyde... Together Again is a horror spoof in the same scattershot vein as Airplane, Naked Gun or Hot Shots, loaded with sight gags, slapstick and abject lunacy, with so much throwaway silliness that a lot of it might even go unnoticed. As is typical with this kind of film, the gags are fairly hit and miss - possibly even more miss than hit (hell, even the best of the Zucker Abrahams movies have their duff jokes) - but it is still a fun ride thanks to a game cast who give it their all: lead Mark Blankfield plays both Jeckyll and Hyde with unreserved gusto, the performer's eccentric mannerisms as Hyde the highlight of the film (he reminded me a lot of Danny John-Jules as Cat in Red Dwarf, only even more manic); Blankfield is joined by B-movie favourite Tim Thomerson as cross-dressing plastic surgeon Dr. Knute Lanyon, character actress Lin Shaye as a lustful nurse, Krista Errickson as sexy hooker Ivy, Bess Armstrong as Jeckyll's posh crumpet fiancé Mary Carew, and Cassandra 'Elvira' Peterson as a busty nurse.

The plot is loosely based on the famous novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, but is probably best described as The Nutty Professor with Class-A drugs: while carrying out research into harnessing the power of man's animal instincts for survival, Dr. Jeckyll accidentally snorts one of his experimental powders and transforms into wild-haired sex-machine Hyde, packing a big bulge in his pants, a hairy chest, a coke nail, a gold tooth and tacky jewellery. Thereon, it's total madness, as Hyde gets it on with hooker/songstress Ivy, regretting his actions when he reverts back to Jeckyll, but continuing to snort his powder even though it might cost his career and his relationship (a madcap comedy about drug addiction - don't get many of those!).

The un-PC humour might not suit everyone (there's gay and racial stereotypes, a bestiality gag, and sexist quips aplenty), but with punks in Devo hats, random dwarfs, a testicle donor ($1m for the pair), Elvira's nipple, chicken sushi, a non-stop train service from L.A. to London, a foggy street called Foggy Street, an impromptu musical number with.three backing singers, a black and white rooftop chase, and a final shot of Robert Louis Stevenson literally spinning in his grave, this one's just too silly to get upset about.

7/10. Much more enjoyable than I thought it would be.

It took me a while to find this movie since they don't have it yet on DVD (and my VCR is not worth hooking up again). I guess all the referencing to drug use is too much for some folks. But I found a decent bootleg on Ebay and I must say that anyone who takes this movie too seriously is just retarded. It is a slap stick spoof in the vein of "Airplane." I must say that when I watched it on Showtime or Spotlight growing up in the 80s, I enjoyed the humor a whole lot more then, than I do now. But it's definitely worth watching just to see what they(i.e., movie makers) were able to get away with before the "Just Say No" hypocrites unleashed their propaganda. sing..."We are all on drugs" hahaha It's a silly film and worth the $10 I paid off of Ebay to get it on DVD just don't even think about comparing it to the original - that's just plain stupid. What are you high?

Doing an exaggeration of his druggist character on TVs' 'Fridays' series, comic actor Mark Blankfield does a very funny job at portraying these two classic characters. Dr. Daniel Jekyll is a surgeon who wants to get out of that line of work and do pure research. He's engaged to the materialistic daughter (Bess Armstrong) of his boss (Michael McGuire). But one of his experiments goes seriously awry, and he's transformed into the garish, swaggering Mr. Hyde, a sex fiend who would rather be a total 80s party animal than terrorize the public. Naturally, Daniel is stressed out when these transformations become fairly frequent.

It's certainly true that this raunchy, ridiculous spoof often traffics in cheap 'n' easy drug and sex jokes for the sake of laughs. But unless you prefer your comedies to be much more subtle and highbrow, this *does* show people a pretty good time. Granted, it can be hit or miss with its gags. It starts strong, and its first and final thirds are the best. It marked the theatrical directing debut for veteran comedy writer Jerry Belson (one of the four credited screenwriters here), who gives this great pace & energy. And even if it is overly silly and childish at times, this viewer really didn't mind all that much. At the very least, this is not bland or boring.

Blankfield is a hoot, especially when he's playing Hyde (not that that comes as a shock). He's well supported by a rich variety of familiar faces. Armstrong and the pretty, feisty Krista Errickson are fine eye candy as the two women in Jekyll & Hydes' lives. At first, the movie would seem to be an egregious waste of the great Tim Thomerson, but he does contribute some good, funny moments of his own in the movies' second half. A bunch of familiar performers have supporting roles and bits: Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson (the nurse whose breasts threaten to burst out of her costume), Peter Brocco, Liz Sheridan, George Wendt, Michael Ensign, John Dennis Johnston, Tony Cox, Art LaFleur, and Lin Shaye. George Chakiris appears briefly as himself.

In the end, it's hard (at least for this viewer) not to have SOME respect for a movie that ADMITS that it's an abomination of the concept created many years ago by Robert Louis Stevenson. The final gag is proof of this. And that theme song is so damn catchy.

Seven out of 10.
