Constructive Chaos

Don't watch this if you are sad. There's a strange dynamic in humor, having to do with happy endings. Happy isn't happy.

The standard model is two dummies who do everything wrong. As the story progresses, more and more damage is done, and the plight of the comics gets worse and worse. For some reason, their disaster makes us feel lighter. Its such a strong model that when we deviate from it, we notice.

Then, at some point, someone possibly Disney changed the formula to what we have here. The guys are stupid as usual. They destroy everything as usual. They humiliate the policeman (or other authority figure) as usual. What's new is that it all adds up to them being celebrated for some unintended good.

For some reason, the effect is to make us feel worse. It was only with Peter Seller's Jacques Clouseau that the hero was so profoundly clueless (and French, extra clueless because he was french) that the adjusted formula works.

The only value in this is the performance of Ken Mars as the tortured sheriff.

Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

Anecdotes
Disney's marketing department added a small sticker to the film's poster saying "All New!" possibly due to the fact that people thought this was just a re-release (which The Walt Disney Company was well known for during the '70s, '80s and' 90s) of the original film Le gang des chaussons aux pommes (1975). Posters exist both with and without the sticker.

Gaffes
When Amos and Theodore first ride into town, they pass an alley through which a hanging electric lamp and power pole with transformer are visible.

Citations
Theodore Olevie: First thing we're going to do is open a bank account.
Amos Tucker: Now, is that different from opening a safe?

Versions alternatives
When shown on network television during the 90s, an extended version of the end credits played. Instead of showing Amos and Theodore riding with their mule, the film faded out as they rode over the top of the hill and then multiple scenes from the film replayed in a small square frame at the top of the screen starting from where Amos and Theodore get their pictures taken, up to the part where Woolly Bill Hitchcock gets strung upside down by Amos when he and Theodore are masquerading as saloon girls. The music was edited to play multiple times before reaching its climax while a computerized credit roll slowly played at the bottom of the screen. This may have been done for stations that needed additional time filled before their next program started.
