Dick Tracy (DVD, 2002)

For those of you who thought "Batman & Robin" was a campy film, you ain't seen nothing yet! Warren Beatty stars & directs this ultra campy adaptation of legendary comic crime fighter Dick Tracy! The makeup & costumes are over the top as are the cars & even the building! Everything is done in flashy bright colors & yeah that goes for the buildings too! BUT, if you can overlook the gaudy sets & costumes, you will find a gritty crime story played out very tongue in cheek!

Beatty is as mentioned Dick Tracy, a cop who takes on mob boss Big Boy Caprice, played by Al Pacino & is as far away from Michael Corleone as you can get! Along the way, Tracy must deal with his long time girlfriend Tess Trueheart(Glenne Headly), a Nightclub Siren with the hots for him: Breathless Mahoney(Madonna), a crooked DA out to foil him(Dick VanDyke) & a cantankerous orphan.

For a campy thriller, this movie has unbelievable star power! Besides those already mentioned, this film stars Dustin Hoffman, James Caan, Mandy Patinkin, Catherine O'Hara, William Forsythe, Charles Durning, Paul Sorvino, Marshall Bell, Kathy Bates, Colm Meaney, Michael J. Pollard & Mary Woronov. The biggest problem here is that most of the cast you will hardly recognize if at all! The costumes are padded, the makeup is caked on, features are accented & hair doos are wild! You can watch this movie a few times & still never figure out who everyone is!

This film offers up a lot of action & thrills + a few heartwarming moments, but there is also a decent amount of tongue in cheek humor! Pacino's dance routine is not to be missed! Except for some of the violence, there is really nothing from prohibiting younger viewers from watching this film as there is really no sexual situations, besides Madonna falling out of her costumes(& that is a surprise how?) & no really off color language. Beatty keeps it pretty clean!

Buyers Beware,
It has been almost a month and no movie.....I am filing a claim ...//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Great movie, great cast, with painting style filmography...classic and awesome. If you've never seen this movie..it's worth checking out and a purchase to have in any collection for sure!

Great old school movie with lots of big name actors I wasn't aware of 15 years ago. Lots of fun with awesome colorful backgrounds.

Great Movie about the Adventures of the Comic Strip Crime Fighting Cop Dick Tracy.Warren Beaty,and Madonna,are great in this Movie.

dick tracy was an awesome movie. i hadn't seen it in many years and was completely blown away by the cast. i didn't remember that a lot of the actors that are in it, actually were in it and they all did a tremendous job. i thought the movie was awesome and i loved how fast i got it. thank you seller

i love this movie! it came in perfect condition and super fast! any madonna fan out there should get this movie! =)

I love this movie!
It's a classic movie of the good guy vs. the bad guy, and with kick ass actors and a kick ass story line. I know this is a total guy flick but also very good for the ladies!!!

What can you say about this 1990's cult classic hit? A bombshell at the box office but this has to be one of the best films of that year. Al Pachino was nominated for best supporting actor, although he lost. But that just goes to show how great this movie was. I was 12 years old when it came to the theater and I fell in love with it. My parents even tried to buy a copy for me when it came to VHS, but it was $100.00!!! Movies back then weren't cheap. Now I can enjoy a brand new DVD from ebay for less than ten dollars! My have times have changed. I have not received it yet, but my girl friend cant wait to watch it with me (she does not think this movie should have been made). But none the less, if you like cheesy actors playing cheesy comic book heroes and villains, then this is for you.

great film, beautiful color, outstanding cast! dick tracy is one of my favorite movies of all time. sorry i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.i dont have anything else to say.

My purchase was delivered to me on a timely manner and the product i recieved was of excellent condition i am very pleased with the professional way my purchase was expedited and how i was treated i would do business with this seller again

Warren Beatty brings a tough seriousness to a role long overdue for a contemporary portrayal. As the flint-nosed detective he battles his famous rogues' gallery of bad guys (which is second only to the Batman's gallery of villains in noteriety) and manges to court his girl Tess Trueheart as well.

I have always love this movie, it's nice that it is on DVD now. As always Madonna is hot, excellent movie.

We purchased the Dick Tracy (2002, DVD) because we liked the movie and could not purchase it locally. Excellent sellers on ebay. We have always had excellent success at purchasing on ebay, but have been outbid on a couple of items recently at the last few seconds.

Thank you. Richard.

Excellent DVD looked like new and played the same. I would look for more items from this seller, as this item was better than he described.I often look for inexpensive DVD's for my collecion and finding

I enjoyed this film I love the stylized sets the cars and the brite colors but despite the big name actors ti is not as good as it could have been the kid Dick picks up of the street is very anoying. Madona looks good but cheap and easy .I think Flash Gordon from 1980 is a better film even if it doesn't have realy big name actors and is some what campy.

I love that I can just go back to my childhood from a movie and this is a nice one to have on the shelf when the day is going bad and you just want to get somewhere fun. I had forgotten how much I liked this movie and when I watched it I felt like I was just a kid again munching on popcorn watching it with my dad.

This is a classic comic strip movie. Well done and with good role casting. The makeup jobs on Dick Tracy's enemies is great, just like in the comic strip.

I personally am not a fan of Dick Tracy however I do have a handicap son who is just crazy about anything connected with Dick Tracy and for that reason I made this purchase and he is just thrilled with it.

The movie is based on a comic strip by the same name. It follows police detective Dick Tracy in his endless efforts of getting main bad guy gangster Big Boy (played by Al Pacino). It is very truthful to its comics origin, the acting is great with Al Pacino and Dustin Huffman to strengthen the bill, and probably some of the best make-up for that particular period(1990). one of the only things that I would change is that they tried to fit tons of characters established over decades into 90 minutes that did not work so well. This movie is not a masterpiece but is sure a lot of fun

a comic book hero comes to life very colorful and enjoyable. the make-up is fabulous. a who's who of actors and actresses make it the best.a very enjoyable movie

Breathless is Madonna or visa versa. Madonna really gets into this role. Its a shame she was overlooked for an oscar nomination..but thats what happens when your larger than life persona and career achievements overshadows your talents in other artistic genres.

A must see for any fan, or comic book junky that loves this famous comic strip Detective, Dick Tracy. I would also recommending you pick up the "I"M BREATHLESS SOUNDTRACK" to really get into this films music. The songs are really amazing. The song "SOONER OR LATER" won an OSCAR for BEST ORIGINAL SONG FROM A FILM .

Warren beatty is also great in this film and he made sure to direct this as though you were reading the comic strip, by using 5 distinct colors for the film. Don't miss it. One of my fav movies of all time

I love this movie. I saw it on televison as a kid and I really wanted to own it, so I looked to see if eBay had it and bought it.
