Columbo Goes To College is easily the best of the 80s/90s films

InfiniteZero posted:Yeah, anybody sitting on the fence about checking out the show should know that the first episode is Spielberg and other people who took turns directing included Boris Sagal (Katey's father, who also directed movies like The Omega Man *), Cassavettes collaborator and generally cooler than you Ben Gazzara, and Patrick "The Prisoner" McGoohan. Jonathon Demme directed one too. Hannibal Lector wouldn't have stood a chance against Columbo. Davros1 fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Sep 26, 2020 |

MrBling posted:I'm bringing this thread back to life because well .. I'm still watching this! "Last Salute" is considered to be the worst of the "Classic" era. But you haven't seen bad until you get to the late 80s/90s films.

The bits with Columbo sightseeing were great though. Also, him at customs.

Digital Jedi posted:One of the most enjoyable things of watching Columbo for the first time and only being in my early 30s is seeing so many actors I know solely from other shows and films. Pleasence would also show up (as a different character) in Mrs. Columbo

I love "Murder Under Glass", where a famous chef is murdered, and during the investigation, other chefs keep feeding him all their rich food, and Columbo couldn't be happier.

FilthyImp posted:I like how he pulls out an egg investigating the plane crash in the one with the Man in Black. He pulls out an egg in "Lovely But Lethal", then wanders about the crime scene kitchen looking for salt. He pulls out another egg in "A Stitch in Crime" and cracks it against the murder weapon

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:In that revival episode Peter falk wrote where the woman murderer tries to romance him (actually p good for a revival ep) he just straight up raids the victims fridge because he’s hungry. It’s not even an act to get people off their guard it’s just him and some cops who presumably know his schtick. That's why I can never buy people's theory that Columbo's whole schtick is an act.

BiggestBatman posted:They tried to get it but every time it looked like he was about to sign the release he would add an extra clause at the end and make it complicated again He insisted on play testing it, but then kept drifting off onto tangents about how he's really not good at board games. His wife, however, she loves 'em. Can't get enough of them. He had to eventually hide CLUE, because his wife would always solve the mystery within the first few turns. Took all the fun out of it. And oh boy, one weapon is a lead pipe? He has a cousin who's a plumber, who had to redo an entire apartment building that was filled with lead pipes. Could really mess up the drinking water. As soon as he heard that, he and his wife had all their plumbing redone, 'cause his wife makes the best iced tea. Sun tea, actually. Now you say you like sun tea too, and this made delicious glass other Sunday. Funny thing though, his wife couldn't make sun tea that day, on account of the storms. Didn't clear up until well into the evening. So the only way you could've made it is if you bought at the store. And funny enough, we just happen to have you on camera at the store across the street from the victim's home. And those things are time coded too. You know what a time code is? It's a little clock, printed right on the tape, so we know exactly to the minute of when you were in the store. And it's exactly when you said you were at home, Mr. Cassidy.

Payndz posted:Just got my complete DVD collection. If it's the same releases as the US version: sometimes there's three per disc! And with season 1, there's a single episode on a disc. And if it's the same as the US, there's a couple of Mrs. Columbo eps on the discs as bonus features, one of which has Donald Pleasence!

Sadly not the original 'cigar box' set with individual season cases but a newer one where multiple discs are stacked on a single spindle and the one you want is always at the bottom, but for £30 I can't complain too much.

Takes No Damage posted:Watched through the original run and a few of the renewal episodes a few years ago. I was moving and had a PC but no internet so I sat around watching local media for a few days. Half brother, and it apparently turning off the air meant his half brother suffocated in there. It took me a few watches to get it.

And Colombo seems to actually like him, keeps asking him about wine pairings and poo poo.

Every single one of these is Columbo's true self, the one that's NOT putting on an act. I love the stealing the biscuit, only to save it for a midnight snack.

Payndz posted:A decent lawyer could surely have put plenty of doubt in a jury's mind about it. But hey, that's not what the show's about. That would actually be a cool thing to see, Columbo on the stand. The smary defense lawyer believes he's going to get his client off, all he has to do is tear apart this shabby, rumbled detective when he's on the stand. And it begins to look likes it's going to work. The judge has to keep reminding Columbo to stay on subject as Columbo detours into a story about his wife, or some relative back home in Italy. Columbo's testimony with "Oh jeez", and "why didn't I think about that?" And just when the defense is about to rest, Columbo proves without a shadow of a doubt in the jury's mind that Robert Culp/Jack Cassidy/Patrick McGoohan is guilty and leaves the lawyer a jibbering mess.

Levinson and Link, who created Columbo, also created Murder, She Wrote. Kind of wonder if they were inspired by Ruth Gordon in the Columbo ep "Try and Catch Me"

In the 70s it was perfectly acceptable for the investigating officer to crack a hard boiled egg against the murder weapon

They should just use all those the commentary and interviews with Falk from the DVDs. Oh wait, they don't exist, because when Falk went to them and offered to do them, Universal said "Nah", and turned him away.
