YMMV / The Guy from Harlem

• Ensemble Dark Horse: Harry De Bauld, especially for the RiffTrax team; they downright applaud when he shows up again. Made very evident by a scene where Al talks to Harry on the phone:
  Mike Nelson: I would kill a man to hear Harry's side of the conversation.
• Fight Scene Failure: The fight scenes are so badly choreographed and shot, it looks like the characters main tactics are to lightly snuggle and wildly miss their open hand slaps, with an overall strategy of remaining mostly in a frame the size of Nebraska.
• Padding: A distressingly large amount of this film's runtime is taken up with repetitive dialogue, one-sided phone conversations, repetitive dialogue, overly long shots of people performing mundane tasks, and repetitive dialogue.
• Retroactive Recognition: Big Daddy is played (under a pseudonym) by Wayne Crawford, who’d be known more for his activity behind the camera as a producer/writer, co/writing and co-producing Valley Girl and co-writing, co-producing and starring in Jake Speed. He would have a regular role in American Heart as Neil Stahl. He passed in 2016.
• Unintentional Period Piece: The leisure suits with wide collars, the afros, the hideous interior decor, the Jive Turkey dialogue...this movie is so 70s it hurts.
