how do you have a legitimate badass without legs and don't make it a vigilante revenge movie where a badass in a custom wheelchair with guns stops crime? Come on 1970's.
I think I remember seeing footage of this movie either on here TH-cam or on TV. Gotta give props to Ted Vollrath for his fighting skills, the fact he served in the Korean war, learned karate from his wheelchair, and earning a black belt is really inspiring. A shame that his character, who mind you was featured on the poster and top billed, gets killed towards the end of this movie. He really should've been the hero. Also the fact this was from the creators of the show "Flipper" really surprises me, how do you go from creating an old school kid's show to making a low budget exploitation movie about a gangster in a wheelchair who isn't even the main character? Talk about perplexing. Great episode.
I used to train in martial arts with a guy named cliff who was a skinny little old man and veteran with one arm. He would literally beat the fuck out of you WHILE USING THE STUMP
scottieman2 I know who else will come... Daniel Stern, Jason and Freddy, Tyler Perry, Michael Myers, Kirk Cameron, Tequila and Bonetti, the Oogieloves, the sexually aroused narrator from Fun in Balloon Land, etc
My aunt's brother had no legs and he had a black belt in karate, which I thought was a little unfair, seeing how he only had to learn half of the stuff that everybody else learned.
According to the version of the VHS cover shown before the English one, one tagline is: "Don't get in his way, he'll flay you alive". That's just as devoid of a height pun as it sounds.
So... Neither the head trauma nor the fact that her boyfriend was shot in the chest did anything to tip the police off that there might be more to the story than "She ODed"?
Nor the fact that the dope was shot into her arm after she was dead, meaning it wouldn't circulate through her body. Or the fact that dead flesh doesn't bruise, so there would be no marks around the injection site. I'm pretty sure that any competent medical examiner would realize immediately that the injection was post-mortem.
Honestly, it would be funny if we started a trend of naming films after the most memorable character in the film. Beach Party would be renamed Prof. Atwell. Diamonds are Forever would be renamed Bambi and Thumper. The Force Awakens would be renamed That One Stormtrooper That Yelled "Traitor" and Actually Kicked Ass.
I remember trying to to watch this movie a long time ago and it was so boring I couldn't finish it. Sometimes you need a snob episode to get through things!
He has to swivel the whole chair just to aim. A pair of handguns would have worked better. In the time it takes to get his shotguns out, you could push him down subway stairs. It's as if the the filmmakers didn't even care about realism.
I couldn't believe this when I saw this review! The only other time I saw anything about this movie was when I got a bootleg at a horror convention almost a decade ago.
Had to watch this again after Red Letter Media just watched it. It's always so fascinating when different people watch movies like this how they get completely two different things out of it.
This isn't a good movie, but damn is Mr. No Legs good in it. Also, is the thumbnail actually a folded paper or is that an effect made using an editing software?
6:35 You really have to binge Cinema Snob to get these in-jokes! I feel like I possess esoteric knowledge just knowing that this was an "Another Son of Sam" reference!
Huh, as a young boy I was a big fan of Flipper the dolphin, as they ran reruns on Nickelodeon for a few years. I just looked up Jack Cowden, and sadly he has passed away. But, what's crazy is that he died in the same little South Carolina town I grew up in. Well, not EXACTLY the same, but within 10-11 miles.
Nah, we've been conditioned by Hollywood to think that guns have enormous recoil, but they don't. The Mythbusters tested the myth that being hit by a bullet sends people flying backward. They hung a pig carcass from a metal frame so the hook holding it up was balanced on the very edge of the frame, so a little push would knock it down. Then they unloaded a variety of small arms into it. It never went flying backward. Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Ergo, if being hit by a bullet knocks you back ten feet, the person firing it should also be knocked back ten feet. Since this doesn't happen, that myth is busted.
I don't know what I expected from a movie called Mr. No Legs but I'm not really surprised it ended up being 70's schlock. I can't understand a single god damn scene of this movie but man is it the fun kind of bad/weird. It definitely helps that the review makes the movie way funnier, thanks Snob
Interestingly, this movie had sort of a budget since it wrecked some cars. This was both a wild movie and a Wild review. Thanks again, Brad. A lot of fun.
22:02 apparently the studio couldn't even bother to uninstall the rollcage for the driver view shots, so I guess we're supposed to assume the character inexplicably managed to pick that one stunt-safe car
22:28: "Like all car chases of the time, it comes to an end due to...truckers building a wall of ice." This is supposed to be a serious movie and not Hot Fuzz 0, right? Because the image of the car chase ending by the guy crashing into the ice definitely deserves the "you don't have to say anything at all" clip.
Yeah, I recognize that this film was made on the cheap... but after watching this episode, I went and reminded myself that Massacre Video released it on Blu-ray a year and a half ago. I want one now.
That Mr. No Legs guy was kind of awesome. Kind of reminded me of the wheelchair-bound guy with no arms or legs in Turkish First Blood (BTW, could you repost this one on here ? Seems it can hardly be found on youtube).
So I looked up Joie Chitwood and the Danger Angels because I was bored, and it turns out they're a gaggle of stunt drivers best known for Joie Chitwood's Thrill Show, as featured in Smokey and the Bandit III, with the "Danger Angels" better known as the "Hell Riders". They were the main inspiration for Evel Kinevel to start doing daredevil work. Chitwood himself was a semi-regular in Hollywood and elsewhere as a stunt driver due to the Thrill Show's popularity, to the point that he was the stunt coordinator and one of the main drivers in Live and Let Die! And they apparently thought footage of his team's driving work would be best served with Call Center Girl. What in the actual.
Brad have you heard of "A killing affair" staring OJ Simpson and Elizabeth Montgomery? OJ plays a LA cop investigating a murder and having an affair with Montgomery. It was a made for TV movie from the 1970's
I can appreciate a movie who's lighting and camera budget consist of human souls. every time a guy is murdered the movie gets better visual quality. now if only they had something worth shooting... HEY! a karate master with no legs and a dozen kills under his belt?! let's see what he does on the weekends!
What actually IS up with Shot On Shiteo? I thought filming was presumed quite some time ago and it was eventually going to be released. Then nothing happened, just like before. Can anyone fill me in?
10:12- I'm guessing it's because the "out of focus" scenes were originally taken out of the movie, and then years later, they were stapled back to the finished film. 18:29- And all she did was add the word "Why?" to a script. "WHY?!" 22:28- Oh, don't you talk about my boxes! I LIKE BOXES!
When he dies and his eleven children fight over his estate, and then his bereaved widow releases Shot On Shitteo (his unreleased magnum opus) to the public domain just to spite them all.
I'm surprised that with all the tie-ins in the last few years that this wasn't a review of "Return of the Incredible Hulk" the last time we got a Hulk and Thor movie. Guess a week after isn't the best time anyway. Great Review though.
how do you have a legitimate badass without legs and don't make it a vigilante revenge movie where a badass in a custom wheelchair with guns stops crime? Come on 1970's.
Shawn Conway By having an uncreative writer
Well, there's always the remake.
Quentin Tarantino tricked us all into thinking the 70s were more awesome than reality
I wanna remake this lol
he used his brain
Can't wait for the sequel, mr. no budget.
THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE!!!! Hell I'll make it.... who has a spare film crew lying around in storage?
There may be a film crew lying around some random green screens that involve a time machine that was found in a yard sale.
Im in
What about the porno spoof, Mr. No Pants
You mean the amazing mr. No budget?
I think I remember seeing footage of this movie either on here TH-cam or on TV. Gotta give props to Ted Vollrath for his fighting skills, the fact he served in the Korean war, learned karate from his wheelchair, and earning a black belt is really inspiring.

I used to train in martial arts with a guy named cliff who was a skinny little old man and veteran with one arm. He would literally beat the fuck out of you WHILE USING THE STUMP
The Car Chase was cool though.
And now we wait for Turkish Mr. No Legs.
Dan Mount the difference being he has shitty Roman candles in his legs
It better be titled Turkey Legs.
+Koen Van Damme That joke was godly.
Koen Van Damme that joke was great.
There is an episode for Turkish first blood already
Where's Wheels and the Legman when you need them?
What about Mind Quad and Jimmy Boombox?
Haveba all about mind quad!
Ah, American Dad reference. Awesome.
Flick or Treat Productions, J Dee Carter, Haveba, f1owo1f 91, Aaron Siewert
you guysss... are my kinda people lolz
Ok, I admit that the line "You were never raised. You grew!" got a big chuckle out of me XD
Heard Brad's getting married this week. If so, congratulations man! I hope you and your wife will be very happy together!
dmysta30001 Nukie is in the wedding.
Mazel tov, Snob, & a blessing on your house! ^_^
Wait, where did this news come from?
dmysta30001 Awww congrats to Brad Jones.
scottieman2 I know who else will come...
Daniel Stern, Jason and Freddy, Tyler Perry, Michael Myers, Kirk Cameron, Tequila and Bonetti, the Oogieloves, the sexually aroused narrator from Fun in Balloon Land, etc
My aunt's brother had no legs and he had a black belt in karate, which I thought was a little unfair, seeing how he only had to learn half of the stuff that everybody else learned.
jesusnthedaisychain Dude I was taught Tae Kwon Do by a guy born with no legs. And I never gave it a second thought until way later
😂 That kills me!
this needs more likes
The joke.
your legs.
Your aunts brother... so your uncle?
Is it weird how, after finally going back to 70's exploitation films after so long, I'm just like "Wait, why is Cinema Snob--oh, right; never mind."
Right? It's like "did I go back in time?" Good to see he hasn't lost his touch
Manchester black
I wept because I had no legs.
Then I met a film that had no budget.
Well, what a delightful morning surprise! ^_^ *(tunes in to watch)*
I want to hug your soul. :)
BELIEVE IT OR NOT I'M WALKING ON AIR, I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD FEEL SO FREE!
I didn't know they made a Mr. Plinkett origin film and a prequel to Space Cop.
I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!
According to the version of the VHS cover shown before the English one, one tagline is:
"Don't get in his way, he'll flay you alive".
That's just as devoid of a height pun as it sounds.
John Holmes was the Amazing Mr. Third Leg.
LMAO
So... Neither the head trauma nor the fact that her boyfriend was shot in the chest did anything to tip the police off that there might be more to the story than "She ODed"?
This is 70's Florida cops. I think we're lucky they weren't shooting hitchhikers at the time.
Nor the fact that the dope was shot into her arm after she was dead, meaning it wouldn't circulate through her body. Or the fact that dead flesh doesn't bruise, so there would be no marks around the injection site. I'm pretty sure that any competent medical examiner would realize immediately that the injection was post-mortem.
I'm pretty sure they also assigned the victim's brother to the case... That bugs me, shouldn't Andy be kept away from the case instead ?
It's nice to finally know that my Hot Wheels collection wasn't lost to time. I found it in this film.
Mr. No Legs is a fucking badass, holy shit, he’s awesome!
No No No: He has'nt a Moustache! WORST 70's HERO EVER!
Her brother's reaction looked less tragedy distress and more intestinal distress.
Best supporting actress: Call Center Girl
WHY IS'NT THE MOVIE NAMED AFTER HER????
mr no legs the lost batman villain
Honestly, it would be funny if we started a trend of naming films after the most memorable character in the film. Beach Party would be renamed Prof. Atwell. Diamonds are Forever would be renamed Bambi and Thumper. The Force Awakens would be renamed That One Stormtrooper That Yelled "Traitor" and Actually Kicked Ass.
TheMellowFilmmaker I think Disney calls him TR8R now that they know how many people like him
The Sloth That Works At The DMV. That Squirrel That Causes Natural Disasters Whenever He Tries To Store His Nut.
TheMellowFilmmaker 1
I'm pretty sure Diamonds Are Forever would be called "Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd"
Rocco
I remember trying to to watch this movie a long time ago and it was so boring I couldn't finish it. Sometimes you need a snob episode to get through things!
The best TH-cam channel right here
The Amazing Mr. No Legs is of course the reboot made a few years after the original.
TheWRYYYYYYY but what about Mr. No Legs homecoming?
Famicon 64 Which came after the terrible The Amazing Mr. No Legs 2
Into the No-Legs-Verse.
The trailer for this movie is better than the movie itself.
But still, a disabled hit man in a wheelchair with dual shotguns is pretty awesome.
schtive81 it could be Rolling Thunder but instead of a hook hand, it's a dual shotgun wheelchair. I want that movie now.
He has to swivel the whole chair just to aim. A pair of handguns would have worked better. In the time it takes to get his shotguns out, you could push him down subway stairs.
It's as if the the filmmakers didn't even care about realism.
@@thenightrider2121 how have we still not seen this??
Congratulations on the marriage Brad!
I couldn't believe this when I saw this review! The only other time I saw anything about this movie was when I got a bootleg at a horror convention almost a decade ago.
I wake up this morning and find a Cinema Snob Review uploaded today! Oh Brad, you spoil us!
It's nice to see an episode that would have fit in with what Brad was doing 8 years ago. Ah, the memories.
Thanks Snob. Awesome as ever. Best wishes + good fortune to you, now and the future.
I was awaiting a reference to Crippled Masters and was not disappointed when one was said. Thank you Brad :)
I am still waiting for Johnny Charo's comeback, dang it!
Jason Jimerson He is still lurking under the dorm bed in Another Son of Sam
22:38 That car crash sound effect was used on Black Flag's Drinking and Driving.
17:41 I actually was looking forward to watching Shot on Shitteo. Is a shame it'll never be released.
You know, with the wedding and everything, we would have understood if you didn't want to do an episode this week.
David Reeder It's not a live stream. He probably made it weeks ago.
Yeees, for years I've been hoping you would do this one!
Maybe in the future we will se mr. no tail with flipper as the lead actor
Fer Zum dammit, you beat me to the joke. I was going to say that "The Amazing Mr. No Legs" was the original name for the Flipper show.
Party Bot the greatest minds think alike
That was called "Free Willy"
tyvm...
I've wanted to see this since you mentioned it in I thiiink the Midnight Screening of Me Before You
This movie has Lloyd Bochner who also was in The Lonely Lady and Satan’s School For Girls that Snob reviewed. What a career.
So I guess you could say that this movie is "Lloyd Approved."
Congratulations on the wedding Brad! My best wishes to you and yours. :)
at 18:50 you had me cracking up like I didnt for awhile thanks
He's been keeping that videotape in his jacket for the better part of a decade to make that point.
If Flipper was called Mr. No Legs, I would TOTALLY watch it.
Had to watch this again after Red Letter Media just watched it. It's always so fascinating when different people watch movies like this how they get completely two different things out of it.
This isn't a good movie, but damn is Mr. No Legs good in it.
Also, is the thumbnail actually a folded paper or is that an effect made using an editing software?
4:05 Ted Vollrath? Is he a Magic the Gathering villain?
Starring Wheels, and the Legman
"Mr. No Legs, you're a good drug dealer. But not good enough, because of your No Legs. So I'm partnerrring you up with Mr. Regular Legs."
I DEMAND a Flipper/Mr. No Legs crossover! Also, congrats Brad.
6:35 You really have to binge Cinema Snob to get these in-jokes! I feel like I possess esoteric knowledge just knowing that this was an "Another Son of Sam" reference!
I've been in a car when it was driving down the train tracks (long story) and it doesn't really work that way, the tires popped after about 2 seconds.
You were on fire in this one, Brad!
Huh, as a young boy I was a big fan of Flipper the dolphin, as they ran reruns on Nickelodeon for a few years. I just looked up Jack Cowden, and sadly he has passed away. But, what's crazy is that he died in the same little South Carolina town I grew up in. Well, not EXACTLY the same, but within 10-11 miles.
Where on Earth do you find these movies?!
I ripped my shirt and lost my voice screaming at the end of this masterpiece. This is one of my favorite B movies
Chuck then retired to California where he became a lifeguard and joined the Baywatch crew.
I 100% agree with the name change of the movie. Mr No Legs was awesome
I'm no expert on kickback, but shouldn't Mr. No Legs's chair have slid backwards a bit every time he fired those shotguns?
Nah, we've been conditioned by Hollywood to think that guns have enormous recoil, but they don't. The Mythbusters tested the myth that being hit by a bullet sends people flying backward. They hung a pig carcass from a metal frame so the hook holding it up was balanced on the very edge of the frame, so a little push would knock it down. Then they unloaded a variety of small arms into it. It never went flying backward. Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Ergo, if being hit by a bullet knocks you back ten feet, the person firing it should also be knocked back ten feet. Since this doesn't happen, that myth is busted.
🤔.........👩🦽💨
Maybe he had the brakes on?
But I feel that then the kickback would have tipped him over 😦
😒.....hmm
I don't know what I expected from a movie called Mr. No Legs but I'm not really surprised it ended up being 70's schlock. I can't understand a single god damn scene of this movie but man is it the fun kind of bad/weird. It definitely helps that the review makes the movie way funnier, thanks Snob
At 2:56...Hey! Isn't that Ron Howard's dad Rance Howard, yes... yes it is.
Interestingly, this movie had sort of a budget since it wrecked some cars.
This was both a wild movie and a Wild review. Thanks again, Brad. A lot of fun.
22:02 apparently the studio couldn't even bother to uninstall the rollcage for the driver view shots, so I guess we're supposed to assume the character inexplicably managed to pick that one stunt-safe car

The Best badass in a wheelchair movie is by far
FDR: American Badass
He had rockets and a minigun
Aaron it's a saga. Needs a third one.
Yeah, I recognize that this film was made on the cheap... but after watching this episode, I went and reminded myself that Massacre Video released it on Blu-ray a year and a half ago. I want one now.
mr no legs should be remembered for its cool car chase, which was fucking awesome. Reminds me of modern open world video games.
That Mr. No Legs guy was kind of awesome. Kind of reminded me of the wheelchair-bound guy with no arms or legs in Turkish First Blood (BTW, could you repost this one on here ? Seems it can hardly be found on youtube).
@3:00 how the hell did they get Ron Howard to be in this movie?
"Someone come get their fucking parents!" DEAD xD
So I looked up Joie Chitwood and the Danger Angels because I was bored, and it turns out they're a gaggle of stunt drivers best known for Joie Chitwood's Thrill Show, as featured in Smokey and the Bandit III, with the "Danger Angels" better known as the "Hell Riders".

And they apparently thought footage of his team's driving work would be best served with Call Center Girl. What in the actual.
23:08 Is that a stagehand?
12:42 is Edmund Kemper. his only movieroll before he went to prision.
Are you or Mathew going to review Collateral Beauty? I'm surprised no one had done that yet.
Going by his Midnight Screenings of it with Sarah, they'd have a hoot mocking it, but I wonder if that'd be too content ID risky.
Ron slinker was the former Tampa cop who later became a pro wrestler in the NWA in the Florida area
Obviously a big fan of the Blues Brothers with that final car chase, the random cutaways, etc. All it needed was someone going "They broke my watch!"
The thing is this movie was released in 78, Blues Brothers was not even shot until 79.
When are we getting a new episode of Lloyd!!!?
someone knows the song at the end, that goes "Jessie was a bad man" ? i can not find a thing,
Best Monday Morning EVER!
That looks amazing.
It seems every wall and door is made of balsa wood in this.
Bonus points for mentioning TJ!
Everything was hairier in the 70s
flipper wasn't
Good stuff, man. Would praise more, but I gotta get to work. Cheers!
Brad have you heard of "A killing affair" staring OJ Simpson and Elizabeth Montgomery? OJ plays a LA cop investigating a murder and having an affair with Montgomery. It was a made for TV movie from the 1970's
Now, now, OJ was only ALLEGEDLY in said television film. The TV movie itself may or may not have actually taken place.
This movie looks awesome
i wonder what happened to the most convincing being on the movie...that fly on the lens ..
Oh snap! This movie stars Lifeguard Day Before Retirement from Baywatch!
I can appreciate a movie who's lighting and camera budget consist of human souls. every time a guy is murdered the movie gets better visual quality. now if only they had something worth shooting... HEY! a karate master with no legs and a dozen kills under his belt?! let's see what he does on the weekends!
One villain-
On the rocks.
Best review ever.
Was there just a cop car trying to jump a raised bridge? My Smokey and the Bandit senses were tingling....
Where is 'Mindquad the Movie'?
What actually IS up with Shot On Shiteo? I thought filming was presumed quite some time ago and it was eventually going to be released. Then nothing happened, just like before. Can anyone fill me in?
10:12- I'm guessing it's because the "out of focus" scenes were originally taken out of the movie, and then years later, they were stapled back to the finished film.
18:29- And all she did was add the word "Why?" to a script. "WHY?!"
22:28- Oh, don't you talk about my boxes! I LIKE BOXES!
All I can think of is the “ I have no legs” dude from the movie kids
Mike White at least he had a skateboard
John Ballard lol true. Plus that tune is catchy
Mike White Ha, Same! I use to say that line all the time back in the day.
19:00 - "Looks like I got a leg up on you boys!"
Is the Amazing Mr. No Legs the reboot of Mr. No Legs made only a few years later?
Its a Sequel to "The Spectacular Mr No Legs" and "The Weels Of Mr. No Legs"
When do we get to see Shot on Shittio?
When he dies and his eleven children fight over his estate, and then his bereaved widow releases Shot On Shitteo (his unreleased magnum opus) to the public domain just to spite them all.
"Crime doesn't have a leg to stand on[?]" You should have that chiseled onto your future tombstone Mr. Cinema Snob.
I'm surprised that with all the tie-ins in the last few years that this wasn't a review of "Return of the Incredible Hulk" the last time we got a Hulk and Thor movie. Guess a week after isn't the best time anyway. Great Review though.
