    Take a remake of Dr. Strangelove...

    ...or a facsimile thereof, minus the black humor, add stupid jokes about Canadians and a happy ending, and you've got Canadian Bacon. Seduced yet? Hey, I liked Strangelove the first time around. The scene of the gluttonous Russian officials and the war-room scenes are lifted right out of the former. Canadian Bacon makes all the obvious Canadian/American jokes (Canadians are naive country cousins, Americans are violent, Russians are coarse, etc). Derivative and tiresome.

    • How long is Canadian Bacon?Powered by Alexa
    • Canadian Bacon is the last Candy movie to be released, Wagons East! the second-to-last. Candy died in Durango MX, where the latter was filmed. Are we safe in saying that Canadian Bacon was shot first, but released posthumously?
