VHS Movie Reviews of Ghosts Can't Do It (Amazon.com Exclusive) [VHS]
Movie Review: Beautiful Bo in the Picturesque Maldive Islands
Summary: 5 Stars
This little film by John Derek did not get the best reviews, but I enjoyed it. It's a fun little story and it stars not only Bo Derek, but the late great Anthony Quinn, who is just so fun here. You also cannot beat John Derek's gift for beautiful cinematography, he appreciated beauty and knew how to bring it out at its best. I recommend it for any fan of Bo Derek, this was one of her lesser-known films with her husband.
The scenery in Wyoming and the Maldive Islands is spectacular~ a great escapist's fantasy!
Summary of Ghosts Can't Do It (Amazon.com Exclusive) [VHS]
A beautiful, young widow is determined to bring her husband back to life. Coached by his impatient ghost, she travels to the most exotic corners of the world in search of the perfect body to receive his reincarnated soul.Released a decade after 10 made Bo Derek a dubious celebrity, Ghosts Can't Do It was Bo's husband John Derek's final film as a director, and it's surely one of the worst movies ever made. Watching it will induce howls from even the most lobotomized audience, making it a top choice for bad movie parties... but are you sure you want to subject anyone to the horrors on display? Bo gets in the buff for a few minutes, but no amount of nudity can compensate for John Derek's unbelievably wretched dialogue, most of which is delivered by Bo with such blank, vacuous blandness that all you can do is sit, stunned into silence by the sheer stupidity of this vanity production.
After exploiting his trophy bride in similarly noxious movies like Tarzan, the Ape Man and Bolero, John Derek died in 1998 (at age 71), and this supernatural tripe suggests that true love reaches beyond the grave. The conceit here is that Bo's rich, much-older husband Scott (the ultra-hammy Anthony Quinn) still lusts after the hilariously distraught Katie (Bo's character) long after his suicide with a 12-gauge shotgun. But he's a ghost in need of a body to possess, so Bo embarks on a global journey to find a choice hunk of man-meat, kill him, and let Scott's spirit reap the benefits. Locations in Wyoming, Sri Lanka, the Maldive Islands, and Hong Kong do nothing to save this jaw-dropping clunker. It's a home movie made by brain-dead narcissists and should come with a disclaimer about the hazards of watching it. --Jeff Shannon
