Johnny and Buster have fun in the Cajun Sun!

What a movie, what great acting! Not! The two guys who both played Tarzan, take on this high drama appearing as rough and tough cajuns in bayou country. Who is more of the stud? Who has the gals and alligators panting heavy each time they swagger by? You have to see this film to believe it. Johnny without his loin cloth and Buster without his French Foreign Legion cap from his tv days. I saw this movie at 5 in the morning about 20 years ago and boy was it the cure for insomnia. I was soon dozing off watching this junkbalaya. I kept awake only to see it's outcome. It is worth at least one watching. Then you will do as I did and say: "I shall not watch this film willingly again." I gave it a 5 vote wise for it's wonderful comedy moments, which I think was really supposed to be dramatic moments. Oh well, I am so low brow.
