Whiffs

About This Movie

So, 'Whiffs' is pretty wild, right? You've got Elliott Gould playing a guy who's kicked out of the military after a strange stint as a human guinea pig. The premise is absurd but somehow the comedy and crime blend works. The pacing is uneven, but it adds to the offbeat humor, especially when he starts using nerve gas for his bank heists. It's a bizarre commentary on military experiments and their fallout, wrapped in a quirky caper. The performances, especially Gould's, are just loose enough to keep things lively. And there are some fun practical effects that stand out, giving it a unique charm. It's definitely a conversation starter among collectors.

Whiffs has had a somewhat erratic journey on home video, with a few limited releases mostly on VHS and some collectors having difficulty finding decent quality prints. Its quirky premise and offbeat humor have garnered a niche interest, making it a curiosity for those who appreciate 70s comedies that dare to tread unusual paths. While not mainstream, its scarcity and oddball charm have made it a talking point among genre enthusiasts.
