Watch Mother, Jugs & Speed For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Bill Cosby's best ever. I am aware of much of the criticism around this movie, claiming it is awful and not worth seeing. To all those who have said these things, I just have to ask: What movie were you watching? With style, charm, and humor to spare, this film was among the top echelon of movies from its era. I laughed and was moved and all of that good stuff. At the end of the day, it's a fun, entertaining film. The best way that I can describe the overall tone is a cross between an episode of the TV show ER and one of the Police Academy movies. I will say it again: a movie's function is to entertain. And I am always entertained when watching this one.

TITLE: MOTHER, JUGS & SPEED was release in theaters in the United States on May 26 1976 and the time it takes to watch this movie is 95 Minutes. Mother, Jugs & Speed is a 1976 comedy film directed by Peter Yates. It stars Bill Cosby (Mother), Raquel Welch (Jugs) and Harvey Keitel (Speed) as employees of an independent ambulance service trying to survive in Los Angeles. Allen Garfield plays the role of Harry Fishbine, the owner of the company. Larry Hagman appears in the movie as a driver obsessed with sex.SUMMARY: In this frantic black comedy, Harry Fishbine (Allen Garfield) is the proprietor of the F&B Ambulance Service, a low-budget free-lance rescue service which is struggling to keep up with the bigger and better funded competition after a law in Los Angeles decrees that the first ambulance to arrive at the scene of a distress call gets the job. F&B's best driver is Mother (Bill Cosby), a freewheeling ambulance jockey who likes to drink beer and play dance music while he makes his rounds. Mother's new assistant is Speed (Harvey Keitel), a former cop who left the force after allegations of drug use; Speed is looking for a new career and a chance to prove himself. In addition, Jugs is the accurate-if-sexist nickname for Jennifer (Raquel Welch), the company secretary who wants to get out from behind the desk and prove her skills as a paramedic. As F&B's driver's race through the streets of Hollywood, their adventures veer between the hilarious and the tragic. Mother, Jugs, and Speed also features Larry Hagman, Dick Butkus, Bruce Davison, and L.Q. Jones.MY THOUGHTS: I guess the reason I don't like this film as much as the rest is because I'm used to seeing Raquel in bath suits and shorts not in over hauls. Despite Welch clothing I still would give this movie 7 weasel stars.

Interestingly enough I was certified as an EMT in July of 1976. Much of what takes place in the movie was hype with some basis in fact. During this time EMS was in flux. The requirement for EMT certification went into effect in California in July of 1976. Between then and 1986 when I left the business due to injury, tons of things changed. In those years Paramedic Certification became universal, companies merged and merged again, working conditions improved dramatically (my hours were cut in half and my pay doubled). Generally everything in private EMS became much more professional. And women became commonplace. Few industries changed so quickly.I might say that to a lesser degree, the same thing happened during the same time frame with Fire Departments, especially Rural, Volunteer and Reserve Departments.What I like the most is the portrayal of what EMS workers go through, including the risks they take and the emotions the experience.All in all, it's one of my favorite films!

I am not going to say that afore mentioned message by some guy in oklahoma is wrong, but he is. This movie is by EMT's, For EMT's and firemen, and about EMT's and firemen. Yes this movie is an exaggeration in some points, but think of it this way. One of the great comical ( and touchy feely with his hands) comedians in our time does a fine job in showing us what the heart and soul of EMT's and Firemen are like. We are people, just like you, and you, but apparently not like sissy girls like the man above. We are the most professional and customer service oriented in the industry ( customer satisfaction for us is the customer living, not selling old men their underwear like oklahoma boy does). We love what we do, but once in a while, after months and years seeing what we see, things like this movie portrays happen once in a while. And it keeps us going the next day to save someone you love. God bless this movie. It lets us laugh when all we want to do is cry.
