I heard something once that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade crushed this movie at the box office. A lot of critics really liked UHF, but the Indiana Jones flick took most of the crowds away from it. It's a big hit on video.

Jerry Seinfeld watched this movie and Cosmo Kramer was born when he saw Michael Richards with his mob and staple machine hahaha...Kramer rocks!!

If everyone at The Retrojunk website

thought that Mr.Richards was nutty on

"The Seinfeld Show"?

He's even crazier in this movie as"Stanly

Spadowski".

This is one of the funniest overlooked movies at its time. I'd say my favorite part in the movie is Conan the Librarian. You return overdue books, he'll slice you in half. Sorry if I spoiled.
