Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Benjamin Franklin Synopsis
The only event in Franklin's life that is burlesqued is his drawing the lightning from the sky by means of a kite and a key. Most of the footage is taken up with good slapstick stuff, involving trick photography where the lightning after being captured chases Benjamin and his black servant all over the house until he finally captures it and puts it in a box and the servant uses it to propel an old-fashioned bicycle and to chase a doubting rival.
Kids Is Kids Synopsis
A young married couple volunteer to take charge of several orphans after the asylum has burned down. Of course they find their hands full with their troublesome charges.
"Benjamin Franklin" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Kids Is Kids" offers its own unique cult appeal.
