Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Bang! Synopsis
There is a dog which allows syrup to be poured all over him, and a cat which mixes it up with the dog and a rooster which does likewise. But the picture does not depend upon these animals for all its fun, however. A Western saloon and a bad man are used for some shoot-'em-up action. Then there is a whirlwind chase with good riding on the part of the principals. In one spot the horses ride directly into the camera. It is a splendid thrill, for the animals do not turn aside, but apparently gallop, unswerving into the lens.
Mongrels Synopsis
It opens with a skit on the war, a French poodle with a bone, while the orchestra plays "Oh, Frenchy," and then the German dachshund coming to take it away and the poodle going to look for John Bulldog and then the American terrier coming into action with "You're a Grand Old Flag." Then the real story of the comedy starts and it is truly a laugh ever moment.
"Bang!" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Mongrels" offers its own unique cult appeal.
