Great flick-anyway, one thing I liked, was those beetle-like cars they rode in-anybody know what the props were constructed out of?
Also, tha “chair”-the one that Woody kept falling off(as he tried to sit on it)-kool!
All that pales next to the Orgasmatron! 
I thought Sleeper was a brilliant movie. I still think Sleeper, Take the Money and Run, Bananas, and Everything You Wanted to Know about Sex were his best movies.
Don’t forget Love and Death!
I love the film too. I especially love where he is identifying the items and photolgraphs from history.
A little side note: the people who owned the house featured in the film were driven crazy by fans making pilgramages to the house which is not that far outside Denver and was just visable from the highway. People would come by at all times of the day and night and almost demand tours of the place.
Oh yeah, and one of those beetle-like cars was a 200 year old Volkswagen.
Car collector Jay Ohrberg owns one.
I don’t know if he had to get permission or mention it in the credits, but Mike Myers definitely admitted in interviews to copying much of the dethawing sequences for Austin Powers.
I’d be willing to bet that it was built on a VW chassis as the VW was always a popular platform for replica cars due to it’s torsionally rigid belly pan. You can really toss any body on top of it. Here’s an interview with Gene Winfield, the designer of the “bubble car” and the Bladerunner “spinner” cars. Indeed, Gene mentions that he likes to use air cooled VW chassis because of their ability to not overheat while sitting there idling.
I was just watching Kentucky Fried Movie The illuminated body-shaped platform that they try to clone The Leader on in “Sleeper” shows up in the background in one scene (I think in Klahn’s underground citadel) in KFM.
I always laugh at the name of Woody’s health food store, The Happy Carrot.
My favorite line: “Don’t you understand? In six months we’ll be stealing Erno’s nose!”
A great, great movie. I first saw it in high school.
The doctor tries to calm Woody and offers him a cigarette: “Suck it deep into your lungs. It’s tobacco! It’s the healthiest thing for you.”
The two robot Jewish tailors help him with an ill-fitting computer-prepared coverall: “All right, we’ll take it in!”
The little robot dog: “Hello. I am Rags. Woof woof woof woof.”
The rebels come to capture Woody who says, panicking, “Get them, Rags! Get them!”
His best movie is Annie Hall, and it’s not even up for discussion. It has the best plot, and it is the funniest.
Not even close. Annie Hall is tedious crap about people who spend more time analyzing their relationships that they spend in them. I’ll take the wackiness of Sleepers or (my personal favourite) Love and Death any day.
I am convinced that the real Woody Allen was abducted by aliens in 1978 because everything after Anni Hall has been complete and unmitigated shit. Sweet and Lowdown was not quite as bad as the other stuff but definitely the absolute brilliance that was Woody Allen disappeared in the late seventies. It was either alien abduction or he started taking himself too seriously…
Zelig was good.
Which started first time.
Agreed. Broadway Danny Rose, OTOH . . .
My favorite line was about Albert Shanker being responsible for the apocalypse - but I was in high school in New York in 1968-69.
I liked Annie Hall - if just for the Mashall McLuhan sequence. Don’t forget “What’s Up, Tiger Lily.” Best dubbed spoof ever.
