Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Lee Eisenberg The most famous western spoof in history is Mel Brooks's "Blazing Saddles". Another one is Oldřich Lipský's "Limonádový Joe aneb Koňská opera" ("Lemonade Joe" in English). This one combines the western spoof with the Ostern, a western genre in the Eastern Bloc. Basically, these movies were westerns that took a swipe at the US. One that I've previously seen is the East German movie "The Sons of Great Bear", featuring an Indian as the protagonist.Anyway, "Lemonade Joe" pokes fun at the old western musicals. The main character is a jolly man trying to rid an alcohol-soaked town of booze in favor of a drink called Kolaloka (I see that they also decided to take a swipe at Coca Cola). In the process, Joe woos a young woman while fighting a dastardly villain.I should note that the movie is basically a slapstick comedy. They incorporate sound effects to add to the humor, and Joe occasionally breaks into song (sometimes in English!). It's a pretty enjoyable movie, understanding the propaganda factor. I suspect that they had fun making it. Olga Schoberová sure is a fox.I wonder if the Eastern Bloc ever made its own "Blazing Saddles"-type movie.

Taylor Badesheim A film this bad is rare,really. You have to actually seek movies this bad out,they don't just pop out of nowhere. Enter lemonade joe. I had no knowledge of this movie until a friend of mine told me I had to watch it. He explained the premise(as ridiculous as the rest of the movie) and told some odd things about it. so when I finally watched it with him I was completely unprepared for how horrible it would be. He warned me of some things, but it still wasn't enough. The film starts with an absolutely idiotic and pointless bar fight that is never explained and gets worse and worse from there. The dialog is really cheesy and i think very badly translated from its original Czech( I am referring to the subtitles) The characters are ridiculously exaggerated and poorly written. Basically,this film just sucks. The directing,writing,acting and everything that goes into a film is just horribly gone here. i think the only other time I saw filmmaking this bad was when I saw Troll 2.This movie is just so horrible I cant articulate it. Just...ugh

funkyfry An excellent satire of the Great American Way, with Lemonade Joe a "clean living" gunfighter who drinks only Kola-Loca Lemonade and convinces everyone else in town (with his gun skills) that all "real men" drink ONLY lemonade! The style of the film mirrors that of silent westerns, including humorous sped-up bar brawls and color-tinting (!). You can either root for Joe or his whiskey-drinking adversaries; it's clear that although the town "bad girl" adores Joe and wants him to "change" her, he is only using her for his cause, as indeed he is using everyone for his opportunistic goals. Worth a look for western fans looking for a spoof that goes beyond "Blazing Saddles" and adds satire to the mix, or for anyone interested in Euro-Westerns in general for an Eastern European take on the genre. A funny, charming, and even sometimes graceful film.

DELIA-3 Although this film is (obviously) all in Czech, most English speakers won't have any trouble figuring out the story, since it's an extremely broad parody of a genre most people are familiar with. The hero is dressed all in white, the bad guys wear black and skulk around like Snidely Whiplash. On the women's side, we have your basic saloon girl with a heart of gold and the virginal ingenue, who we know will eventually end up with Lemonade Joe. Considering this movie was made under Communist rule, it's a pretty dead-on satire of the American Western.
