		With as much monkeying-around as his movies frequently display, it should come as no surprise to John Landis fans that one of his earliest inspirations as a filmmaker was the original 1933 version of King Kong.
		Landis was in his early twenties when he decided it was time to make a feature, and after a brief flirtation with the idea of crafting an underground porn film, the aspiring director raised the funding needed for his directorial debut from family and friends.
		Landis did, however, find moderate success at this point in his career as the catalyst and sometimes director of the popular HBO series Dream On.

	Spotlight on John Landis - Billion Dollar Director (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Landis' first three films, Schlock (1976), Kentucky Fried Movie (1977), and National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) were so uncivilized, such a pie in the face to all things pompous, that few reputable film writers dared admit that they were a crack up.
		This is a lesson that his imitators seem to have missed, since all the second rate knock-offs of Animal House are full of high school mugging, as though actors in a comedy have got to be aware of the fact they're in a comedy.
		And as horrible a human being as John Landis may be (I've never really met the guy), as inexcusable as his and other's actions were during the shooting of The Twilight Zone, he is still, strangely enough, one of the finest living comedy directors.

		The actual reason I thought of giving Landis a tribute wasn’t a film from the list of downright classics he was responsible two decades ago or so but a relatively recent stab at the horror genre in the Masters of Horrors series.
		It reminded me of how well-schooled Landis always seems to be on the genre in interview and how important he is to the genre for his work behind the camera.
		Hopefully, after a slump of sorts, John Landis is back at full strength, ready to bring us some new classics, regardless of the genre.

		John Landis: I'm not sure what the first film I saw as a kid was, but I do know that when I was eight years old I saw The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad at the Crest Theater on Westwood Boulevard and I just went nuts.

	THE BLUES BROTHERS - 25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION (WIDESCREEN) DVD
		And it also permitted Landis to stage grotesque caricatures of fl musical milieus, reducing to shrieking mannerism what was once a genuine outpouring of sentiment.
		One can see Landis and co. "doing fl," having all the stereotypical testifying congregants dancing and singing like something out of A Day at the Races--yet the humiliated dancers still do it better than Jake and Elwood, who look like the pretenders they are.
		Jake's emergence from prison is a hyper-extended walk that would have John Shaft gasping for breath, and the rest of the movie is similarly overscaled, relying on massive Rube Goldberg car chases that lose sight of narrative, humour, or general sense.
