70 Movies We Saw in the 70s: Ep #18 — ROLLERCOASTER (1977)

It’s a screaming Cyclone of a loop-de-loop episode upside-down and backward as Mike and Ben strap in and plunge howling into the mad-bomber-at-the-amusement park epic, ROLLERCOASTER — in the miracle of SENSURROUND!

Just try keeping your cotton candy down as we explore:

• George Segal’s mastery of the hot comb!

• Ben’s .750 batting average with Sensurround movies!

• Teenage Helen Hunt’s PCP-fueled charge through a plate glass window!

• The vinyl-snarfing baboons of Warner Brothers’ Jungle Habitat!

• Civil servant Hank Fonda’s puzzling replica of Larry Flynt’s office!

• Dick’s width marks!

• Pops McP’s classic wisecrack at THE BRADY BUNCH, “Second prize is a week in Cincinnati. First prize is one day in Cincinnati!”

Now, everybody sing: “Hello to Yogi! Hello to Boo-Boo! Hello to Scooby-Doo! Barney and Fred say hi!...”
