	UHF (1989)
		While the musical beat from these hit tunes remained much the same, the lyrics always fell pray to his wacky sense of humor.
		UHF is presented on a double-sided disc sporting both a full frame 4:3 version as well as the original theatrical 1.85:1 version.
		UHF has the reputation of being somewhat of a cult favorite and surprisingly the film still holds up rather well - despite having a lot of pop culture references to the music and films of the 80’s.

	Ultra high frequency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		UHF and VHF are the most common frequency bands for television.
		Modern mobile phones also transmit and receive within the UHF spectrum, and UHF is widely used for two-way radio communication (usually using narrowband frequency modulation, but digital services are on the rise) by both public service agencies and the general public.
		UHF is also widely used in two-way radio systems and cordless phones due to the fact that since UHF signals essentially travel over line-of-sight distances, distant transmissions cannot travel far enough to interfere with local transmissions.

		But through a video release by Orion afterwards, this was immediately picked up by Al’s hardcore fans and made its way to cult status until the film suffered a depression when Orion declared bankruptcy and went away in 1996.
		John DuPrez did the musical score, and there’s not a lot of music to hear, except for kooky jingles and commercial background stuff (loved the mock shaft feel of “GANDHI 2” as well as the ol‘ “Battle Hymn Of The Republic” during Stanley’s monologue) that suits the comedic skits.
		UHF is an entirely juvenile, doofy, hilarious “Weird Al” comedy which sticks as many guilty laughs and bizarre bits as can possibly be stuffed into a 97 minute film.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "UHF"
		UHF is all this to me. Even if this movie were nothing but the commercial parodies alone, it would be fully worth the price of admission (whether it's saying "I love you with the gift of a spatula" or seeing the results of a shoddy cemetary, they're some of the best bits in this film).
		In the first part of UHF while George is imagining being in Raiders of the Lost Ark, one of his trusty sidekicks pulls a gun on him while he's not looking.
		UHF was filmed in Tulsa, OK, and made $6.16 million in the theaters.

	UHF (music video) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		UHF is the name of a music video by "Weird Al" Yankovic which was released as an extra on the DVD of the movie of the same title.

		Guns 'N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle

	dOc DVD Review: UHF (1989)
		UHF was obviously produced with the fans in mind and with a lot of input from Al Yankovic himself.
		Yankovic's music video of the UHF theme is included, a clever parody of several different 1980s MTV stars including Billy Idol and Prince.
		UHF is a cult 1980s comedy, which means many people love it with an inexplicable and fiery passion, while everyone else wonders what is wrong with them.

		Typically this is an adjustable dipole antenna called "rabbit ears" for the VHF band and a small loop antenna for the UHF band.

	MilkandCookies - UHF Movie
		On the UHF DVD, Weird Al includes a commentary track in which he mentions the actual street address of almost every filming location used in the movie.
		Modern music videos are primarily used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings.
		Elements of sound as used in music are pitch (including melody and harmony), rhythm (including tempo and meter), and sonic qualities of timbre, articulation, dynamics, and texture.

	DVD Verdict Review - UHF
		UHF needed to permanently pick one side of the fence and stay on it: either tell a story about a TV station in need of redemption, or focus primarily on the strange TV shows at hand.
		Those who like UHF aren't in it for a well constructed story or fantastic cinematography—fans will likely be waiting around for the scene where Stanley rockets a small child across the stage via a large, pressurized fire hose.
		UHF is a prime example of a film that, by any other studio, might have been given a single theatrical trailer then released without much care.

	TechnoFILE Reviews "UHF" on DVD
		UHF is one of those all-too-rare comedies: it actually made me laugh, repeatedly.
		I have no idea how UHF did at the theatrical box office, but it has had a good run on VHS, and now that it's finally available on a DVD I was interested to see if the new disc would do the movie justice.
		MGM has seen fit to put both an anamorphic widescreen (16x9 TV compatible) and a PanandScan version of the movie on opposite sides of the same disc which, if you just have to include a PandS version, is the way to do it (unless you put them both on the same side of the disc).

	DVD Empire - Item - UHF / DVD-Video
		UHF is one of those movies that points out how odd Hollywood really is. It was the feature film debut of “Weird Al” Yankovic who has been hailed as one of the most creative geniuses of modern radio by a manner of critics and Grammy voters.
		The film was shot under budget in record time and it was originally designed to be a late fall release in the time of the year where films like this could make their mark.
		UHF is a great comedy and we get see Michael Richards before he got famous.

		UHF was a flop, but it was also a great movie.

		UHF was a great movie, and Al topped it off by putting out a great soundtrack.

	In Music We Trust - UHF: DVD
		Weird Al's classic film finally gets the DVD treatment, although not in the manner one would expect.
		Of course, only a dork like me would think UHF deserves the double-disc, numbered limited edition treatment.
		The film is presented in 1.85:1, 16:9 widescreen and standard pan-and-scan along with deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, commentary with Al, director Jay Levey, Vicotria Jackson, Emo Philips and Michael Richards (hilarious, by the way), the music video for "UHF," production stills, Easter eggs and promo materials.

		UHF is full of things you'll quote on a weekly basis, things you'll always laugh at (Conan the Librarian and many other unique shows).
		There are also poster and production still galleries, trailers and the music video for the UHF theme played during the credits.
		If anything, UHF will make you respect him more, and wish he had more movies or even a successful tv show.

	IGN: UHF Review
		You really have to be a Weird Al fan to get into UHF, but the movie is so funny it may just make you a fan.
		Sound comes though crystal clear, and whenever there is music (such as the Beverly Hillbillies segment) it expands to fill your room relatively well.
		Rounding out the disc is a short behind-the-scenes featurette from 1989, the UHF music video, production stills, the teaser and theatrical trailers, and a small poster gallery.

	UHF DVD Review
		“UHF” is one of the films MGM now holds the home video rights to from their acquisition of the Orion Pictures film library and I think this would qualify as a cult film of sorts because I am sure it has its fans out there.
		I’m not one of them, but I respect the film for what it is: a series of spoofs of 1980s movie and television pop culture for “Weird Al” Yankovic to satirize the way he satirized contemporary music in the 1980s and early 90s.
		They include the “UHF” music video, which is funnier than the entire film, the teaser and theatrical trailer, a production photo gallery and a promotional photo gallery that features one-sheet art, home video and even laserdisc packaging cover art.

	Barnes & Noble.com - UHF -- Jay Levey - DVD - Wide Screen / Pan & Scan
		UHF is the film debut of comedy-rock satirist Weird Al Yankovic, who also co-wrote the screenplay.
		Only loosely constructed around this story line, UHF is mostly a series of TV, movie, and music parodies strung together and played for cheap laughs.
		He even includes his music video for 'Money or Nothing/Beverly Hilbillys.' Michael Richards palys the part of Stanley Spadowski very well, but doesn't compare(or maybe he does) to Weird Al as George Newman as Indiana Jones and Rambo.

	Montreal Film Journal
		I always had a special fondness for Yankovic' brand of silliness, whether it be on record, on stage, in his always inspired music videos or on his sadly short-lived subversive Saturday morning TV show "The Weird Al Show".
		Also featured is the hysterical music video to the "UHF" theme song in which Yankovic spoofs Prince, Billy Idol, George Michael, Peter Gabriel in "Sledgehammer" and others, and 19 minutes of deleted scenes self-mockingly presented by Al.
		"UHF" is being released by MGM DVD, in Full Frame or Widescreen format, with English, French or Spanish audio tracks.

		I like a lot of David Bowie's music videos, I can't really pick a favorite from his.

	Amazon.com: UHF (1989) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Weird Al Yankovic describes and sings about so many wacky, bizarre scenarios in his songs and videos, that one might think, "what would he be like in a feature film?" UHF answers that question, and despite this being his only starring role, Yankovic acquits himself pretty well in this quirky cult film from the 80's.
		So when his Uncle Harvey decides to give him a chance to be the new station manager of the UHF station, Channel 62, George jumps at the chance by putting more live shows.
		The video for the "UHF" song is included as a bonus, as is Al hosting a series of deleted outtakes, which definitely should've been left off the movie, as most were filler that did nothing to advance the movie.

	DVD Review - UHF
		did a two-week run in the theaters and bolted for the haven of home video and cable, where it finally found an audience.
		Many background conversations and choice bits of dialogue are finally comprehensible and, as it should be in an Al movie, the music really kicks.
		Bass is tight and defined, especially on the "Beverly Hillbillies" number, and the overall scoring also stands out about as much as a 13-year old stereo mix is going to.
