TITLE: MOTHER, JUGS & SPEED was release in theaters in the United States on May 26 1976 and the time it takes to watch this movie is 95 Minutes. Mother, Jugs & Speed is a 1976 comedy film directed by Peter Yates. It stars Bill Cosby (Mother), Raquel Welch (Jugs) and Harvey Keitel (Speed) as employees of an independent ambulance service trying to survive in Los Angeles. Allen Garfield plays the role of Harry Fishbine, the owner of the company. Larry Hagman appears in the movie as a driver obsessed with sex.
SUMMARY: In this frantic black comedy, Harry Fishbine (Allen Garfield) is the proprietor of the F&B Ambulance Service, a low-budget free-lance rescue service which is struggling to keep up with the bigger and better funded competition after a law in Los Angeles decrees that the first ambulance to arrive at the scene of a distress call gets the job. F&B's best driver is Mother (Bill Cosby), a freewheeling ambulance jockey who likes to drink beer and play dance music while he makes his rounds. Mother's new assistant is Speed (Harvey Keitel), a former cop who left the force after allegations of drug use; Speed is looking for a new career and a chance to prove himself. In addition, Jugs is the accurate-if-sexist nickname for Jennifer (Raquel Welch), the company secretary who wants to get out from behind the desk and prove her skills as a paramedic. As F&B's driver's race through the streets of Hollywood, their adventures veer between the hilarious and the tragic. Mother, Jugs, and Speed also features Larry Hagman, Dick Butkus, Bruce Davison, and L.Q. Jones.
MY THOUGHTS: I guess the reason I don't like this film as much as the rest is because I'm used to seeing Raquel in bath suits and shorts not in over hauls. Despite Welch clothing I still would give this movie 7 weasel stars.
