 Rated 5 out of 5!
Loved the film, BUT.......
I just recieved the DVD of "Elephant Parts" & have just finished watching it, I haven't laughed soooo much in years!!. I used to own the VHS version a long time ago & watching my new copy tonight, it reminded me how funny it was. Mike Nesmith is trully a genius when it comes to not only producing music, but video as well & it's a big pitty that he didn't go further with his "back-to-back" video concept (MTV format) that he sold to a large television company, it could have been so much more interesting!!. I do have ONE slightly small complaint, I found the video quality it's self, to be poor. I remember seeing the video version I had having a much clearer picture, has the video deteriorated over the years, or was it sourced from an inferior master tape?. Apart from that I loved watching it again for the first time in years & hope that his follow-up T.V. series "Televison Parts" will also be released on DVD in the near future!- Rated 5 out of 5!
Good, clean fun
This collection of sketches and commercial spoofs stands in the same tradition as "The Kentucky Fried Movie" and "Amazon Women on the Moon"; only "Elephant Parts" is a lot less dirty! It's refreshing to see a genuinely funny film which doesn't rely too heavily on profanity and sex to get its yuks (there are a few drug jokes, but even those don't dominate the piece). Unlike so much of what passes for comedy nowadays, the laughs aren't cheap in "Elephant Parts".My favorite sketches are Rock 'n' Roll Hospital, Neighborhood Nuclear Superiority and the vegetarian guy hunting for his food. The music videos are visually intriguing. My husband remembered the Sunset Sam video from SNL many years ago. Highly recommended.  Rated 3 out of 5
Bogus Audio Commentary
I was very dissapointed with the nonsense that passed as audio commentary. If the NEZ wanted to puiblish new work he should not do it in the disguise of audio commentary that is SUPPOSED to relate to what we see on the screen. Should have just been satisfied with the VHS I have already.
