WTF Hollywood: HEARTBEEPS
Word up ladies and gentlemen? Muldoon here with a new column to the site. So what exactly is “WTF Hollywood?” Once a week I’ll be bringing you flicks that for some reason or another fell through the cracks of pop culture and have been buried in the years since their initial release. I’ll be bringing you movies exactly the opposite of BACK TO THE FUTURE, STAR WARS, or JAWS and focusing on flicks that studios took a gamble on that blew up in their faces, movies that leave you scratching your head at just how in the hell they ever got made. Think of it like Quint’s “This Should Happen,” though more like “How The Hell Did This Happen??” I hope to stick with flicks on NetFlix Instant, so you guys can give it a shot without digging through any VHS bins at places like Half Price Books. That said, who the hell knows where we’ll go with this column, let’s just have some fun with it.
So what do you get when you take Oscar winning film composer John Williams, creature effects legend Stan Winston, comedy gods Christopher Guest and Andy Kaufman, and then top it off with the forever-beautiful Ms. Bernadette Peters?
HEARTBEEPS.
.jpg?1326832694)
The film stars Kaufman and Peters as “Val” and “Aqua,” two robots who fall in love while awaiting repairs in a factory. The two immediately fall in robot love and escape in a van along with a comedian-bot named “Catskill” who’s voiced by Jack Carter. Hot on the trail of the small robot group is a violent enforcer robot, though somewhat inept, named “Crime Buster” and two factory workers, one of which is a very young pre-batshit insane Randy Quaid.
The design of the robots is oddly breathtaking and very much ahead of its time, certainly worth checking the film out for. Unfortunately it feels like that’s where a huge chunk of their $10,000,000 budget must have gone since the bulk of the film takes place outdoors with little to no set dressing or production design. Make no mistake, Kaufman and Peters are incredibly charming and do what they can, but simply aren’t given much to work with it seems.
Now according to my extensive research perusing sites the like of Wikipedia and IMDB, this flick was meant to be a test to star check Kaufman’s bankability as a lead in a flick. He had pitched Universal on a screenplay based on one of his many out there characters, the anti-lovable Mr. Tony Clifton. When this flick bombed in theaters making around 20% of it’s $10,000,000 back all hopes of THE TONY CLIFTON STORY were straight shot to hell and left Kaufman publicly apologizing for the film’s very existence while on LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN.
Is this a date movie? No. Is this an escapist movie? Maybe a little. Is it worth checking out for the novelty of seeing Andy Kaufman all robotted out?? Hell yes and honestly your kiddos might dig it too. Fair warning though, this movie is like going to Olive Garden and getting all you can eat breadsticks… sure it tastes good and will fill you up, but there’s no real nutritional value. If you’re the type who seeks out bizarre movies, well… chances are you’ve already seen this, but if you haven’t – quick, go hit up NetFlix and give it a shot.
If there’s a flick out there you think fits into this column or if you happen to have had anything to do with this film’s production and feel like chatting about it please feel free to shoot me an email at mike@aintitcool.com

I don't know if the universe can handle such a thing.

I don't think I've ever thought of Randy Quaid as anything other than a bat-shitter.

Man, I haven't thought about this movie since I was a kid. I remember watching it multiple times on Showtime back in the day. I might actually have to queue this up and see if I can still stand it. This could be an interesting column, Muldoon. I'm curious to see what forgotten "gems" you pull out.

They lost against AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, which is understandable..

How wonderful...am writing this while looking at the original prop from this film I have...
by reellifela
...a Val mask (w/ bow tie) that Andy Kaufman wore in the film produced by Stan Winston Studios, bought at auction a decade ago. Have to admit, never thought I'd see the day when a (more than) reasonable review of this forgotten film would see the light of day (in the 10 years that I've had this thing in a lucite cube in my office, only 2 people have ever recognized it and/or what it's from in all that time)....kudos, Muldoon. And am in complete agreement on your take here...it's a really strange experience watching the actual film, as it's either grossly naive and uninformed, nakedly odd without realizing it, or just a complete train-wreck that missed the target by a mile, or possibly all of these....really hard to categorize this film, or say whether I actually enjoyed it (I bought the mask just because I'm nostalgic for early 80's films).
-
I thought Hollywood was doing a remake of Heartbeeps.
I recently saw what I believe qualifies as a WTF Hollywood movie: Theodore Rex. -
Saw it a bunch of times. I wonder how well it's aged now and what thirty-something me would think of it.

by idrankyourmilkshake2
Finally, some type of innovation and forward thinking (on keeping this site interesting)
-

As late as 1981, studios were still trying to capitalize on the R2D2 "cute robot" schtick.
by snookeroo
The trailer is longer than the amount of time it was in the theaters.

Jan 17, 2012 3:11:33 PM CST
I went through an Andy Kaufman faze a few years ago.
by welcometothepartypal
And this movie suuuuuuuuuuuucked!! His late night specials and his my dinner with Andre take/spoof (I forget the title) were all pretty fun and out there. Also his biography written by his best friend...Bob? (I can't remember) was a great/sad read.
But this movie? really bad. -
I don't think i'll ever bother to watch this movie, but it was very amusing to read your words about it. Fun article you got there. You are also a good writer, but given that i'm not a native english speaker myself (i'm poruguese), that that for what is worth.
Hope to see more from you. Good stuff, keep it up. -
Jan 17, 2012 3:13:19 PM CST
I faintly remember this movie as a very young kid.
by danielnocharismacraig
Very much a product of it's time. A time when studios took much more of a risk with genre bending films than the cookie cutter blockbusters we see all too often today. Where are the 30 somethings of my generation who can compare with the Spielberg, Coppola, Scorecese, and Scott of my dads era that helped define a new generation of filmakers?
-
....spot on, brother. Muldoon, you've started something here (cogent writing style, good instincts, informed perspective, well expressed), so please...keep it up, man ;)
-
Ironically Ive just put it up on ebay this week, what are the chances?
-
But good article. Please keep them coming otherwise all I'm interested in is the behind the scenes pics.
Thanks. -
... I feared this was going to be an article about a remake.
Ugh. I remember watching this movie some morning during some childhood Christmas vacation on USA or some Turner station. Terrible. I recall despising the comedy robot and feeling like the other robots were just naive children. (Mind you, I was a child as I watched this.) I kind of wish the article delved a little deeper into the movie, but maybe Muldoon just didn't want to dwell on "Heartbeeps" too deeply. I know I haven't since I saw it 20-some years ago.
Nice idea for a column. Like "How Did This Get Made" without Jason Manzoukas yelling all the time. I look forward to seeing what the next bad flick will be. -
I might have seen it in the theater but I saw it on HBO for sure back in the day. I still have a VHS copy somewhere.

Oh God... I remember this turkey. It was cable fodder for YEARS!
by impossibledreamers
-
. . . but I loved the robot tracking them down. And wasn't there a singing robot voiced by Jerry Garcia? Or did I dream that part up?
-
But I never got to. Now I can thank my parents for seeing through that clever marketing.
-
It showed on Showtime, and I thought the music was great and loved the little baby robot.
-
Can we get a develo
-
Can we get a development hell column, detailing the hot screenplays that get bogged down in the system - much like Suspect Zero did.
-
It is on.
It is on like the prawn that yawns at dawn. -
Cuz, I love me some Last Chase.
-
it was a piece of shit, but as a kid I loved that black hunter robot. it was like a pre-Terminator HK.
-
Jan 17, 2012 4:09:40 PM CST
I saw this at a matinee when it opened and from the little I recall it bored me.
by justmyluck
Decent makeup/robotics and an okay, quasi-snythy, Willliams score couldn't save it.
-
It really confused the hell out of me. I knew I thought robots we're cool, but the movie just seemed so bizarre. I was a kid though.
-
I used to watch this movie over and over when I was around 8 or 10. I remember thinking it was really dark (not lighted well), completely insane and off-the-wall. Why anyone cared enough about two smitten robots to send a giant killer tank to eliminate them was beyond me. However, there was something cartoonishly charming about the whole affair. CrimeBuster was pretty awesome and Kaufman was cute as Val.
If you haven't seen this and have young kids, they may find this a sweet alternative to the crap their senses are forced to endure on Nickelodeon and Disney. -
Jan 17, 2012 4:30:48 PM CST
Crimebuster was also Deathprobe in the Six Million Dollar Man

that dude also did the voice over on the radio spots for Lucio Fulci's Zombie. Check out one of the Anchor Bay or Blue Underground releases if you don't believe me.

Action! Adventure!! Romance!!! Racoons!!!! Even People!!!!! - How did this movie fail?!?!
by vangoghx
God, this was a horrible flick. BLAH!!!

so it'll always be a great movie that I never, ever want to see again for fear of ruining the memory.
Now off to weep for my lost childhood. -
kind of sad.

It's more fun if you did a WTF:Hollywood with modern movies like 'Last Airbender'
by mistergreen
-
Along with Super Fuzz and other fun flicks that we don't hear about these days.
-
It sounds like you have some good things to say but are substituting occasional slang and slackerisms for substance, or fulfilling your potential.
Speaking for myself, I'm more interested in genuine, sincere enthusiasm for the subject matter, and signs of effort, than in irony and detachment.
Try a little harder, and try less to be funny, and I'll be keeping up with this column. Best of luck with it. -
had the sexiest mouth ever. I was just a kid but I wanted nothing more in this world than to have those wrapped around my dick.
Thinking about those lips now... *sigh* -
thinking, "What the fuck?" myself. Or a euphemized version of that. (I was a good kid.) It was strangely mesmerizing in its awfulness, though. I remember vaguely a really clunky looking evil robot that seemed way too easy to escape from.
-
A bit cute, but still Williams in his prime.
http://tinyurl.com/6wo4oyp -
I saw Andy Kaufman and I had to watch it, though I struggled the whole way through. It's an interesting concept but it's pretty out there. I wonder what would have happened had the kernel of this idea been given a real budget and a talented production team. That's probably wishful thinking though. This one was doomed to fail.
-
Not sure why, other than I was a little kid who liked anything robots, futuristic or outer space. I saw it on cable somewhat recently and decided to revisit it for nostalgia.. I had fun watching it again, but it's pretty bad.
This was my personal introduction to Andy Kauffman, and not sure I ever made the connection as to who played the robot until many years later. -
Great film

Love this move. Watched it on VHS about five years ago... But this column... mesh!
by emperor_was_a_jerk
Great idea for a column, but I would love to see it be a little more than "Hey! Remember this?!". Or "Crazy, huh?!", then a few tidbits.
Maybe some facts? Or besides a cursory mention of those involved an actual listing of the main credits? Maybe jus a little more meat on the bone.
Otherwise, this is a fantastic idea for a feature on the site. I always find it more enjoyable to look back on movies than forward. Believe me, there will be PLENTY written about The Avengers for the next year, but who the hell has an article about Heartbeeps!?!?
-
Maybe because I really liked the interplay between C3P0 and R2-D2, and likewise watched Taxi and all the crazy antics of Latka. It was darn near perfect for a 7 year old like young master boinfoint. I haven't seen it since, so I'm sure it's a piece of crap. But I still have fond memories of torturing my poor father by making him take me to see this. Somehow I doubt today's seven year olds will be fondly remembering Chipwrecked in thirty years...
-
My small hometown had a small kickass theatre (now a video store) and a small kickass drive-in (still going) owned by the same family (on Halloween if you went to their house you came home with theatre candy and Star Wars and ET trading cards). Every Saturday the theatre would put on a matinee for the kids around 2pm for $2. They'd play everything from Disney movies to tv movies on film. But what kept us going was the toy or the poster or the promo item they had on display at the ticket booth that they would raffle off 10 minutes after the movie started. Even when the movie was crap you could still depend on the prize. The best prize I walked away with back then was a plastic Spiderman bank as big as me. Heartbeeps was one of the crappier movies I went to see on Saturday afternoons. I recognized Kaufman from Taxi and thought Bernadette Peters was Carol Kane. I left the theatre thinking WTF - or the 7 year old equivalent. Didn't win the prize that day I don't think so ended up being 2 hours of my childhood I would never get back.
-
I never saw it but there was a big feature in Starlog around the time of its release

If you a REALLY young pre-batshit Quaid, find Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz ('74)
by tangcameo
based on a novel by Mordecai Richler of Barney's Version and Fun With Dick and Jane (the Fonda version) 'fame'. Three of his books were made into movies (2 film, 1 tv) with famous US actors playing the lead role; Richard Dreyfuss, James Woods, and Paul Giamatti.
-
he simply loved it. i think i may still have his paperback of it somewhere.
-
This one was produced by Michael Phillips of Taxi Driver, Close Encounters, The Sting fame! I had the pleasure of working for him and I have to say he is one of the coolest cats you will ever meet.
-
Jan 17, 2012 8:31:19 PM CST
Saw this as a kid on HBO back when HBO was like, one of the very few cable channels in existence and, if you had one of those new-fangled TVs with the push-button channel selector, you could get HBO for free and sometimes get to see boobs!
by has_snyder_been_fired_from_superman_yet
Alas, no boobs in Heartbeeps. Also, a year or so later, the cable company came out and put filters on the lines and no more free HBO, folks were too cheap to subscribe, so no more boobs for a few years. Oh yeah, Heartbeeps? Watching it was like what you imagined the effect of pot would be like if you could somehow get some and smoke it, preferably while free boobs bounced merrily on your TV screen on HBO.

Andy Kaufman wasn't the genius he thought he was...
by queefer sutherland
...but he was a very talented comic. I hope he at least got to sample some Bernadette Peters poon while making this. She had one of the best racks in Hollywood, and probably one of the finest vaginas as well. At least that's what Steve Martin told me.
-
i loved it as a kid. cried when the uncle bot died.
havent seen it since. its probably horrible. -
Jan 17, 2012 8:41:00 PM CST

nice article! i like the concept for this column---may i make a suggestion for the next one?
by general_misinformation
Stay Tuned, starring John Ritter & Pam Dawber (y'know, Mindy from "Mork & Mindy"?)
great little movie, but i think on the same track of "what the hell were they thinking?" that you're going for here.
again, very nice column! -
Nothing But Trouble, written, directed and starring the brilliant Dan Aykroyd, with Chevy Chase, Demi Moore and John Candy. again, a movie i for some reason hold near-and-dear to my heart, but can't deny is a bit of a "WTF?"
plus the performance by humpty hump and the digital underground didn't really give it much more credibility. -
Jan 17, 2012 8:52:09 PM CST
The ultimate suggestion for this column... ladies and gents... "Mom And Dad Save The World"
by has_snyder_been_fired_from_superman_yet
Muldoon, ain't NO WAY you'll ever get more "WTF" than that one!
-
Jan 17, 2012 8:53:54 PM CST
Stay away from Walter Hill's unfairly maligned Streets of Fire!
by powers boothe
If that wonderful film ever appears in this column I'll go BATSHIT!
-
Anyone remember that from the mid 80s or am I just showing my age?
-
Jan 17, 2012 8:56:38 PM CST
damn, my mind's going a mile a minute with these ideas! how about--
by general_misinformation
Mom and Dad Save The World, starring Teri Garr, John Lovitz, and everyone's favorite kiddie-porn aficionado Jeffrey Jones. It's even got Eric Idle!
the movie's stupid as hell but somehow gets me laughing out loud. the light grenade gag in particular.
pick me up. -
Jan 17, 2012 8:59:00 PM CST
now i can't get the "Todd" song out of my head
by general_misinformation
-
...mostly makes me pine for Quint's 'A Movie a Day' column, which featured tons of obscure titles, and thorough, well-written reviews to go along with them. This is a good idea for a column but the writing is a little lazy. I'm rooting for it to improve, though.
-
... is 'Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend.' If WTF had been in my vocabulary back then, I'd have let it fly opening weekend....
-
all heavily influenced by this film.
I also hear the rooftop scene in the Matrix was a shot for shot remake by the Wachovskies of the Peter Griffin robot's standup :42 minutes in.
-
I always thought of him as ED 209's long lost papa.
-
I shit you not. I saw the title of this and got simultaneously aroused and depressed thinking it was a modern remake.
-
Jan 17, 2012 9:46:47 PM CST
My pick for WTF - 'Modern Problems' starring Chevy Chase -OR- 'Toys' starring Robin Williams
by tangcameo
It's another two of those "2 hours I'll never get back" movies.
-
No offense- but I hope the writing gets a bit more meat on the bones, and less silliness like "word up". But it really is a great all-around addition, good sir!
My votes: Mom and Dad Save the World
Real Men (yep, more John Ritter)
Stuff
Repo Men
Trancers (love that Jack Deth)
Hudson Hawk
Buckaroo Bonsai
And, yes, I'll be hunting down this movie this week! -
Jan 17, 2012 10:15:29 PM CST
Never seen the movie, but the John Williams score is lovely
by nasty in the pasty
Probably the most obscure post-Star Wars movie he ever wrote a score to (along with Monsignor), which is probably why the soundtrack CD wasn't released until 20 years after the movie bombed. More electronics than usual for Williams, but it's very pretty, kind of like the "Fortress Of Solitude" cues from Superman.
-
Jan 17, 2012 10:18:04 PM CST
And hey, don't dis Baby: Secret Of The Lost Legend!
by nasty in the pasty
Okay...it's hasn't aged all that well, but at least it had great cinematography by Kubrick regular John Alcott and a superb Jerry Goldsmith score (in the best mid-80's Rambo tradition). You can buy it on Blu-Ray(!) for five or six bucks now. Silly, and the animatronic effects must have looked crummy even back in 1985, but I still found it kind of charming. Plus, young Sean Young in a clingy, sweaty top.
-

10/10 for column idea. 4/10 for the "Seacrest Out" style taglines.
by rkdn
This is an excellent idea for a column. One improvement suggestion: amazon links in case we want to buy these forgotten gems.
-
"Neighbors" (1981) "Pandemonium" (1982) "Hysterical" (1983) "Get Crazy" (1983) "Night Patrol" (1984) "Stitches" (1985)
-
Glad you're using movies streaming on Netflix. Nice touch.
-
The 80s were a goldmine for this sort of thing. Lots of ambitious disasters during that decade.
-
I actually have a lot of love for that film despite the fact it's obvious a result of too much cocaine :)
-
Jan 18, 2012 1:44:08 AM CST

by spohlso
I tried. I really gave it my best shot. I had extremely vague childhood memories of seeing this at the mall. The only thing that really stood out was Randy Quaid drinking a beer in what looked like a fruit juice pouch. As an adult I made it maybe 4 minutes in before any need for nostalgia was superceded by the need to turn that crap off!

by vince_ricardo
... even if I was only five, I would've hated it (as I did at fifteen). Ugh. To think I had managed to completely erase it from my memory, only to have it now back on, at least for a couple of hours (until I can delete it again from my brain). Well, it's no one else's fault I clicked on the link to this story.

Lots of movies from this time period when I was little still stick in my craw.
by menstruatingheart
This is not one of them. I really liked Kauffman from "Taxi" and that Jerry Lawler thing around that time and watched "Heartbeeps" on cable and thought it sucked even as a seven year old. Then again I was watching "The Blues Brothers" and "Caddyshack" back then so my funny bone was being well tickled already.
A few other WTF Hollywood suggestions from that time period: "Modern Problems" with Chevy Chase, "Buddy, Buddy" which was the reuniting of Matthau and Lemmon, and...wait for it..."The Nude Bomb" with Don Adams reprising his role as Agent Maxwell Smart. -
I love Andy, didn't know he did this
Thanks -
Everyone did. But I barely remember it now.
@ bah
The 'burbs is Tom Hanks' best film. -
I'm a much bigger fan of pre-Forrest Gump Hanks. But I think The 'Burbs fits the idea of this column -- huge name, nutty plot, critical bomb
-
Love this new column. Never heard of "Heartbeeps" and was pleasantly terrified by it. Keep 'em coming!!!
-
...about a new pet peeve. I've seen this several times on variopus talkbacks(though this is the first time I've seen it on aintitcool).. and that is when someone posts "wait for it." First of all, it's been used by Neil Patrick Harris on How I Met... for years now, so it's lost its cleverness(if it ever had it). But the thing that irritates me is that writing it down makes no sense. If I tell you to "wait for it" while I'm talking to you, then I guess you'll stand there un til I share my wisdom. But when you write it down, I don't have to wait for it. I can skip ahead, I can ignore what you've written, hell, I can shut off the computer and never return. The phrase is starting to irritate me anyway, its popping up in commercials now, but its about as fresh as "wassuuppp." Still, its been recently that I've noticed people using it online, and it irritates the shit out of me.
-
...your mention of Ford Fairlane reminds me of another Andrew Dice Clay "film". Did you ever see "Brainsmasher"? I caught part of this on HBO and I literally said, What the fuck?
-
As a matter of fact, I never saw Ford Fairlaine, but it was a favorite around the dorm. The Billy Idol video that went with it was....influential on me.
-
Also remember not watching all of it. Not my cup of tea. Loved her in The Jerk around the same time though.
-
Also: Wasn't The Burbs the last time audiences saw the "hot" Carrie Fisher?
-
I seem to remember hearing that Jerry Garcia "played' the baby robots voice in this rather charming turky.
