I was so happy to get a copy and watch The Million Dollar Rip-off.......OK, so it isn`t academy award stuff, but who cares!! It is a rare gem with Freddie and that makes it a treasure!! Actually, it was pretty good!! Nice to see Freddie in a different role.

I can't wait to get mine. I also want to order the the TONY ORLANDO & DAWN show from her too...

I got the MILLION DOLLAR RIP OFF today! YAY! I don't know if I'll get to watch it tonite cuz on Thru nites we always go over to Mikes cousins house & eat dinner with she & her hubby & usually watch videos with them & I dunno if they'll want to watch this. Yikes!

I couldn't wait to see how he looked in this so I had to forward thru it without really watching & glimpse at some parts of it. Or I would've died of suspense. Can ya see the news headlines on that? LOL!

From what little I saw it looks like he dresses really nice in it (nothing ugly) & his butt shows up good in this one & he has such pretty eyes! Oh my!

At the beginning he has on a disguise with different colored hair & mustache etc. It doesn't look so hot on him & takes away from his cuteness but he has such pretty eyes that that's what you notice! Those eyes! Ahhh...

He takes the wig off & theres a bald skullcap LOL! He looks like Kojack for a sec before taking the makeup off & becoming him again.

He doesn't talk or act Puertorican or Hispanic either & his name is a normal Muff Kovak. He acts more like a New Yorker in his accent. He looks fine in turtlenecks! & Wait till ya see him shirtless! You will want to just hug him! & he kissed a lucky girl.

It has all this neat 70's stuff that they had when I was in high school! The movie likes a bit familiar so I wonder if maybe I did see it back then but forgot about it or didn't pay much attention.

Oh yeah, the guy who used to play Police Chief Burt Ramsey in General Hospital (& I think he used to be on McHales Navy too) is in this. I forget his real name as he's been off of GH for quite along time now.

Also this appears to have been taped off of WCAU tv in Philly which must mean it was on other channels besides WGN in Chicago. I wonder how many channels re-runed it & which ones & is it still in Syndication? This has the commercials in it which I don't mind as they advertise Philly stuff. Judging by the ads for re-runs of the Cosby show & other ads I'd guestimate this to have been shown sometime in the 80's.

But it is worth getting to see his FINE FINE Self in it! I can't wait to see it!

I am in love.

I didn't get to see the MILLION DOLLAR RIP-OFF last nite due to being at Mikes cousins.

Maybe I'll get to see it tonite!

I did fast forward thru it & stop it to take pics off of it with my digital camera.

Wait'll you see him with his make up & disguises! When he first takes of his disguise & make up I noticed after the takes the make up off he wipes out his eyes with a hankerchief like he's trying to make sure all the makeups wiped off.

I noticed there one part where some guy wants Freddie continue his heist rip-off or if he doesn't he guy will hurt him. After the huy leaves. Freddie punches his fist hard thru a table (That must've really hurt) & then hug one of the girls & looks like he's crying as he hugs her.

In another scene one of the girls is pretending to cry over a dead Uncle. Probably part of the heist or con. She reaches in her purse & gets out a disposable paper hankerchief. It tears into & one of the other girls hands her a fresh hankerchief. She later goes back to using the torn one. Freddie looked like he was looking at her weird for using a torn disposable hankerchief instead of one that was in good shape.

In another part it looks like his girlfriend has betrayed him & he looks so hurt. He looks like he's tearing up & trying to choke back the urge to start bawling or something. I could sense that was so real. I can't help but wonder if maybe he felt betrayed by folks already then????

Onward with the pics!

Cheryl Harrell · 04-11-2003, 07:56 AM

Don't you love those eyes????

Cheryl Harrell · 04-11-2003, 07:58 AM

This movie really shows off his cute eyes!

Cheryl Harrell · 04-11-2003, 08:03 AM

And it shows how good he looks in a turtleneck!

Cheryl Harrell · 04-11-2003, 08:06 AM

I think it'd be neat to read a fan fiction based on this movie with Freddie as his Muff Kovak character & all the girls in it. Sounds like something Luckymama would write.

Cheryl Harrell · 04-11-2003, 08:09 AM

It looks like this movie showed off his cute laugh!

Cheryl Harrell · 04-11-2003, 08:13 AM

It showed off his fine sexy shirtless body... But he looked weird dressed in the old man disguises...

Cheryl Harrell · 04-12-2003, 04:17 AM

I finally saw the movie with my hubby & it was great! Freddie did an excellent job & wa so cute in this except when he wore the old man disguises. Even then his eyes were so pretty. This proved that had he lived, he would've gone on to even greater things. It looks familiar as if I might've seen it before esp at the end when they tell what the charaterx were currently up to...

hue_mee · 04-12-2003, 08:38 AM

OMG! Cheryl ! Those are great pictures! It's great to see a different side of Freddie in his acting! Thank you!

Cheryl Harrell · 04-12-2003, 12:17 PM

Thanks! How I took them was I took them off the tv with the vcr running the tape of the movie using my digital camera. I read that if you want to take pics with flash & not have it create a glare you can cover the flash with a hankerchief which is what I did so the flash wouldn't bounce off the tv as bad & create as bad a glare. Feel free folks to use them in making up Freddie pics & wallpapers...

He is sooo cute in this!

Joy · 04-14-2003, 08:21 AM
