7/10
You'll be in perfect health when you die....

Warning: Spoilers
Josh Baker meets Cheryl, on the streets of New York.

Suddenly she collapses, and she's picked up by an ambulance. When Josh wants to visit her in the hospital, it appears that she hasn't been admitted in the hospital.

Josh follows the roommate of Cheryl, and she disappears after a ride in the same ambulance. It's up to Josh to solve the secret behind this strange vehicle.....

Any film that features Stan Lee as himself as a main character, James Earl Jones chewing erratically as he dies, and Eric Roberts clearly under the influence of something, begs to be seen.

Its a B movie of the highest order, and Cohen has crafted another wonderfully funny, and bonkers story.

An old Ambulance is picking up diabetics and other sorts, in order to find the cure for diseases. There is a mad doctor at the end of all this, but first Roberts has to deal with Earl Jones being angry for no reason whatsoever, a cop who knows Earl Jones dentist appointments, Red Buttons stealing the film, and of course releasing a movie the same year his sister became the biggest on the planet.

But its fun, and no matter how stupid the narrative gets, its fun plain and simple.

Its a hard film to find, but you will be glad you sought after it.
