Something Big

About This Movie

Something Big is an interesting blend of comedy and Western, featuring Joe Baker, a guy who's just itching to do something grand. The plot takes a unique twist when he needs a Gatling gun and decides to trade for it by kidnapping a woman—who turns out to be the commandant's wife. The film has this quirky, offbeat charm, and the pacing gives it a lighthearted feel despite the absurdity of the premise. Performances are spirited, and you can sense the fun they had making it. The practical effects are nothing groundbreaking, but they add to the overall vibe of the film, which is a mix of slapstick and Western tropes. It’s definitely a quirky piece of cinema that stands out for its unusual storyline.

Something Big has had a varied presence in collector circles, with its initial release on VHS and later DVD editions. However, the film remains somewhat obscure, leading to a limited supply in the collector market. This scarcity has piqued the interest of those who enjoy offbeat comedies from the 70s, making it a noteworthy piece for dedicated enthusiasts looking to expand their Western or comedy collections.
