Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Leofwine_draca THE YIN AND THE YANG OF MR. GO is one of the weirdest and most incredible pieces of trash I've seen recently. That it was written and directed by Burgess Meredith is hugely surprising; it feels like the work of an amateur whose first time this was behind the camera. Just what on earth was everyone thinking? The plot is a kind of Bondian spy thriller in the vaguest of senses, with an evil mastermind on the hunt for Cold War technology. But then a twist based on Chinese mysticism is added to the mix and turns everything on its head. You get a youthful Jeff Bridges playing an obnoxious character and James Mason in yellow face makeup in possibly one of the worst bits of miscasting ever. All I could think while watching was "when will it end?".

eltsr-1 The movie "The Yin and Yang of Mr. Go", works on many levels. Here's mine barely on one level. James Joyce was as little understood in 1970 as Buddhism, the Far East (including Vietnam)and MKULTRA. Only MKULTRA notionally survived unscathed because CIA Director Richard Helms destroyed all agency records shortly after this film was made. It alone has escaped the brutal epiphany of the last 40+ years. "We had to destroy the village in order to save it." Ram Dass (Richard Alpert) did not publish "Remember, Be Here Now" until the year after the movie's release. Had he seen it? The Hong Kong Tourist Bureau which contributed greatly and nearly lost its soul to this film knew more about all of the above including James Joyce than anyone in or around the movie. Here are the facts: James Mason wears oral prosthetics and allows his then almost 2d wife (Clarissa Kaye-Mason) to administer a lesbian rape scene. Peter Lind Hayes (The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T)plays himself and appears in a violent homo erotic scene with a very young Jeff Bridges. Irene Tsu gives her acting and substantive all to everyone involved apparently including some Hong Kong hookers replete with excellent Number One Hong Kongs. Broderick Crawford plays the head of the CIA in what appears to be an unintended?, spliced-in unrelated Ed Wood production. He's Broderick Crawford, for Christ sakes! And he's wonderful! You will recognize Jay Adler and Jack MacGowran reprising themselves in roles that they had accomplished many times, but not this time. Buddha appears typecast as himself in Hong Kong tourist stills voiced over by Christopher Lee? as narrator. Oh yeah, Burgess Meredith stars and directed it if Buddha didn't. Rags Ragland composed the soundtrack and songs and I am sure Peter Lind Hayes influenced same with his immortal 1950s Chevrolet jingle. The music at times however, fractures into rather both authentic and thought provoking accompaniment including a brief oriental theme played with a bowed lute Ragland was an arranger for the Dorsey's and provided music for many 40s movies and then this one. There, I wrote it. For YOU!!!! James Joyce was writing--like Bridges says,"For the next 1,000 years." You can watch this prescient epistle throughout the next millennium if you need to. In 1970, the world needed to...

mjrkong I picked this up at the Dollar Tree along with a bottle of Ajax dishwash liquid, a box of Fiddle Faddle and some Tums. All are gone except for Mr. Go (facilitating my consumption of the Tums) which still remains.Now, not all $1 discs suck. I've picked up old Sherlock Holmes flicks w/ Basil Rathbone for a buck and enjoyed them thoroughly. But Mr. Go? Ach du lieber! I really can't add anything to the madness. Worst of all, I can't get that bizarre song out of my head, when Jeff & Jack go zipping around Hong Kong in a couple of rikshaws. "Got to be free... Freee.. weee!". WTF!?!

Mik_In_Montague I couldn't believe I actually watched this slug. It came on a Jeff Bridges Double Feature DVD by Digiview and was the second movie after "In Search Of America." In comparison, I see now America was a jewel, though the soundtrack seemed identical.I knew it was going to be a bad movie, all those $1 DVDs are, but my eyebrows shot up when only a minute or so into the movie "Jeffrey" Bridges' character yells at his girlfriend "What the hell is the matter with you." This was a TV movie? And then we see soon afterward some gratuitous breasts, a male transvestite getting dressed, a male gay rape scene (filmed in psychedelic b/w), more boobies, and finally, near the end, an attempted female rape scene. Gotta love life in Hong Kong.Read up the other comments. They're spot on. Just say NO to Go. This disc is going into the trash, right along with another Digiview double feature The Return of Rin Tin Tin with Robert Blake (at 8) and Lassie's The Painted Hills (with a frothing killer Lassie at the end).
