Hot Stuff

Over the years I would check Amazon every so often to see if "Hot Stuff" were finally available on DVD. I knew it would be a long shot because unlike popular seventies films "Jaws" or "The Godfather", "Hot Stuff" is not a well known movie. You ask anybody if they have seen it and you're more likely to get an answer such as "What?". I was very pleased to see the movie is finally available. I ordered a copy immediately. Supposedly based on an actual sting operation run by the Miami Dade Police Department, "Hot Suff" stars the late Jerry Reed and the late Dom Deluise (Who worked together previously on "Smokey and the Bandit 2". Deluise also serves as director here.) as two Miami police detectives facing reassignment if their department does not start getting convictions. After busting a shady pawn shop for accepting stolen property, Reed suggests taking over the shop and posing as gangsters running a fencing operation. They set up shop along with Luis Avalos and the late Suzanne Plechette. It's all downhill from there. The movie is perfectly cast. The main cast members are all excellent. The late Ossie Davis is fantastic as the police captain overseeing the operation. There are hysterical scenes through out the movie. The two best in my opinion are a cameo by the late Pat McCormick as a man selling Cuban cigars and Deluise sampling some marijuana being offered by two British drug dealers. I can mention scene after scene here that will have you laughing your head off, but I would not want to spoil the movie for you. The climactic scene at the party where the crooks are busted is just plain fun. It's too bad "Hot Stuff" did not get much attention upon its initial release. Now with the movie finally available on DVD maybe it will get a little attention. I recommend you give it some attention as soon as you can.

Bless whoever came up with the DVD on demand process. I wore out two copies of VHS over the years. The master used for this release is a very good quality. The audio and video were both better than expected. As for a movie review, all I need to say it that it is hilarious from beginning to end. For those who have issues playing on your DVD Player - It states that the movie is burned onto a DVD-R. This is not a standard pressed DVD movie. Make sure your player is capable of playing this format. DVD+R is different! Almost all new players will work.

I used to watch this as a kid with my parents, which is funny watching the movie now and looking back at that. Anyway, it is super funny. I have been looking for this movie to come out on DVD. Thank you! I thought I'd have to somehow turn my old Beta movie into a DVD and that would be expensive. Dom Delouise & Jerry Reed play cops going under cover to catch a bunch of thieves and burglars. All pretty much petty thieves with a twist. It's a good movie. It's a bit high priced though. They probably had to burn it from Beta too.

A fun movie with some good laughs and a good cast. The DVD played just fine in my player. The picture and sound were good. This Disc was obviously burned onto a writable DVD, but that is mentioned in the description. I'm happy with my purchase.

This has to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen!! It's truly a laugh-out-loud movie!! Even at the end, when the credits are rolling, they are still going with the movie line so don't turn it off too quick!!! Let it go till it's completely finished. I had looked for this movie for years now and was so excited when I finally found it!! I highly recommend this movie as pure entertainment. Yes, it was made a long time ago so the effects aren't "modern" like today's films, but it is great entertainment and the expressions are priceless and overall a great movie. Enjoy!! I did. :)

Enjoyed this movie in the theaters when it was fresh in release...Great ensemble cast of stars, funny script with many laugh-out-loud moments...'Waited for years to get my own recording of this movie, as it never makes the late night circuit of fun movies... Finally on DVD...I love the stars, especially the husky-voiced and beautiful Suzanne Pleshette...Hilarious script and well-worth the price to own a genuine comedy classic...All these stars have left the scene in the intervening years since this was made, but they are all in great form here...'Highly recommended!

I saw this movie YEARS ago and always had it on VHS tape, but could't wait for it to come out on DVD... I cannot tell you how happy I was when it was finally released on DVD. This has got to be one of the most underrated comedies EVER! Dom Deluise's scene where he gets high in the pawn shop is worth the price of the DVD!!!! You may have to watch it a few times to catch all the little jokes that go by so quickly... Dom, you're missed! To me, this is a CLASSIC!

Saw bits on tv recently - MOVIES! channel w ads. So wanted my own dvd with no ads. Dom Deluise is great in any film. Suzanne Pleshett most underrated comic actor. I would compare Deluise to today s Steve Carell. Pleshette to today s Emily Blunt.

Great fun movie. Jerry Reed is terrific. So naturally talented as an actor as well as a singer-songwriter. Laid back and super cool, as I believe he was in real life. Suzanne Pleshette is a delight to the eyes, as always, great actress. Watch this on a dark, rainy night when you feel depressed or sick of life. It is a wonderful antidote!

One of my favorite movies of all time, the Miami police pretend to be mafia to end a crime spree by bring the thieves to them. A superb comedy that will have you on the floor laughing!

Excellent quality, better than my old VHS tape was!!!

I love this movie....great comedy and great laughs. Dom Deluise at his best! Well worth the buy and addition to any one's library.

Funny movie,classic from a time when Hollywood used some. Imagination,sound and picture okay I like to see maybe a blue ray or at least remastered.
