 Still holds up, 2008-08-17
As a former NYC paramedic I've got to say this movie, based on the antics of a 1970s ambulance agency, still holds up in the modern era. The cars and clothes styles may have changed a bit, but peoples are still peoples...
Ambulance owners and operators Need this book!, 2008-04-20
Great favorite with Bill Cosby, Racquel Welch, and Harvey Keitel. All in the old type Cadillac and Oldmobile ambulances of yesteryear. I drove Cads and olds, and pontiacs for Schaefers' Ambulance in Los Angeles. Good scenes of wheel hop on the Cadillac going around turns. Also a LA Sheriff Matador burning out is real neat to watch. I owned a few of these when I was younger. I sure would like one now.

Two odd things about this DVD:
1) It's got some edited/dubbed-over vulgarities while others are left as is....how'd THAT happen?
2) Toni Basil as a shotgun-toting junkie?
Fun movie though with some disturbing elements too, but we're all adults, deal with it. It was the 70s and a double helping of them at that.
A must see for anyone in E.M.S. A classic. :), 2008-02-17
I first seen this movie when I was fresh out of my EMT class. Working for my first service. There are a lot of parallels to be drawn between the two services in this movie and the one I worked for back then. (15 years ago)There are some classic examples of calls that we go on in this line of work. (Of course there are some stretches there too)...Buzzing the Nuns what great fun!

Mother, Jugs and Speed, 2007-12-16
Bill Cosby, Raquel Welch and Harvey Keitel star in this comedy as Mother (as in Mother hen), Jugs (enuf said) and Speed (a cop busted for selling speed).
The story of two privately owned ambulance companies compete for the city contract in LA. our heroes work for F & B run by Harry Fishbine (Allen Garfield). Also as F & B staff is Larry Hagman & Bruce Davidson.
This 1976 comedy is cute in spots, but does show its age. Cosby and Keitel seems seasoned for their roles. Whereas Welch seem out of place with this comedy
The film seems grainy and washed out. The story is good, which saves this DVD release
