I actually saw this movie 1st run in a theatre...and apparently it has not gotten funnier since...nor have I seen it as a rental anywhere...so that might indicate that it ain't gonna garner any post-production love...Elliott Gould is wasted as a private who is cut loose from the Army where he was a human guinea pig for testing chemical warfare agents (there is one scene that may be squeamish to some as Gould is testing an agent as a needle moves up and down in his arm)...and he decides that using his knowledge and supposed immunity to commit a bank robbery is a good idea...hiring Godfrey Cambridge as a pilot, however, is not...although Cambridge's portrayal of Dusty is the funniest part of the movie...and it all wraps up unneatly at the end...but it is a comedy, so figure it out...it is amazing to me how many poorly-made films are on the Net, costing more than they should...and Whiffs! is right there...Gould can be excused for this one since he made 'MASH'...an Army movie that IS good...if you stumble upon Whiffs!, and you have about 100 minutes to kill with no conception of any socially redeeming value, then by all means rent it, check your brain and common sense at the door, and enjoy it...but Gould, Cambridge, Eddie Albert, Harry Guardino, and others are misused...and that is sad...
