June 1977, Warner Bros. released Viva Knievel!, a box office flop, but an amazing experience to watch. Frank, I’ve listened to enough of your show to realize that you would find this film to be pure SANTO GOLD! Check it out. You can watch it or get it from Netflix.
It is available on Netflix Watch It Now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva_Knievel%21
You gotta check out the story, this film is A+mazing.!
Reasons this is film is pure GOLD:
The film starts with Evel sneaking into an orphanage to deliver action figures of himself
He inspires a crippled boy to walk again because Evel is so brave
Lauren Hutton is a hot feminist who Evel later seduces
Gene Kelly is Evel’s mechanic, and he is a drunk
Mexican Drug Lords
The main Mexican Drug Lord is played by Leslie Nielsen
The mechanics son from Boarding school is kidnapped.
Too Much, This is 100% pure Santo Gold!!!

Frank,
I just realized that I couldn’t remember if you ever spoke about Santo Gold. So
just in case I wanted to share the story.

This infomercial tries to do two very different tasks at the same time: sell a gold jewelry business opportunity and promote a “science-fiction space wrestling movie” called Blood Circus.
