But soon they're mixed up in a bank heist they didn't commit, with Marshal Woolly Bill Hitchcock (Kenneth Mars) on their trail. They run away and land at a military base, where Capt.

Dale R The sequel to The Apple Dumpling Gang brings back Don Knotts and Tim Conway as the leads this time. I feel that this movie was written specifically for Knotts and Conway to do their thing in, and it works for that purpose. The rest of the cast is forgettable and some of the plot points didn’t work for me (was there really a love story here?). A couple lines got a laugh out of me and some of the shenanigans that Knotts and Conway’s characters got into were fairly amusing. I was disappointed that the theme song from the original movie didn’t make it into this one. If you enjoy their comedic style or liked the first movie I’d recommend a viewing.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Nem de longe lembra o primeiro filme, quer dizer, lembra apenas pelos dois malfeitores protagonistas atrapalhados, mas a ausência das crianças desfalcam a Gangue da Tortinha de Maça, e sem o casal protagonista até o romance fica prejudicado, sem fofura, sem romance, quase chato… Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Amos Tucker (Tim Conway) and Theodore Ogelvie (Don Knotts) have gone straight and try to start over when they get robbed and then blamed for a series of thefts that were actually committed by the very men who stole their money. Trying to stay on the right side of the law leads them to the United States Cavalry at Fort Concho and as part of Jack Elam's plan to rob a train. Luckily, they have army intelligence operative Jeff Reed (Tim Mattheson) to help them. All ends well and they end up right where the last movie finished, as they go to Russell Donovan's farm to try and get some work. Your enjoyment of this movie is directly in proportion to how much you enjoy the antics of Conway and Knotts. How similar were Disney's 70s films? They had to put a sticker on the posters for this movie ensuring audiences that it was a new movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
