Who would ever have imagined that a story about a ludicrously muscular guy in short shorts, metal suspenders, and a page-boy haircut—who receives a giant magical sword from a half-bird woman in a swimsuit and fights an skeleton-faced man in a cape—could be made to look ridiculous?

I would not have possibly believed this if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. I was sure it had to just be about an extremely buffed Bollywood star.

I've seen this referenced on multiple sites during my work week but since I can't see YouTube behind the corporate firewall, I'd yet to actually watch it.
It was far more awesome than I thought it'd be. And you know why -- one word -- Orko.
Seriously, I did not expect that.

Hilarity aside, check out the uploader's user page. He's got some nice, vintage stuff up in there.

That cameo by Christopher Guest smoking the cigarette must have cost a bundle.

I think Cigarette Guy was Man-at-Arms, which would explain why he seemed to stare approvingly at Teela's song and dance routine.
And yes, Orko rocked!

So I'm watching the link, and waiting for the crazy to start. Finally I realize -- oh OK, dancing skeletons and big robots and the whole Bollywood magic is the crazy. Rock on. LOLBollywood.

I must take up smoking again so I can learn to smoke a cigarette that nonchalantly.

Michele Gondry totally stole those skeletons for his Daft Punk video!

Cigarette smoking man should be randomly inseted into other clips, keyboard cat style.

Sonu (Dharmendra) is a gangleader and does illegal work for Chandidas Khurana (Amrish Puri). This illegal work comes to a grinding halt on the arrival of a honest police inspector Ravi Kapoor (Jeetendra). Ravi instantly cracks down on the wrong-doers, convinces Sonu of his wrong-doing, and actually sets him on the right track. Together they trap Chandidas Khurana, his brother Chotu (Shakti Kapoor) with evidence, and both get long jail terms. Both Ravi and Sonu get married to their respective sweethearts, Geeta (Madhvi), and Radha (Anita Raaj), and subsequently raise their families. Several years later Chandidas Khurana and his brother finish their jail sentences and kidnap the children of Ravi and Sonu. Sonu's son is killed, and his wife too dies of shock. Ravi promises that he will apprehend the killers and bring them to justice, but Sonu wants revenge in a different and more permanent way.
So... fat lot of good IMDB is.
Spoilers: It gets sad later on.

my favorite little bit was when a spectator spit his lit cigar stub away as if hocking a luge (am I spelling "luge" correctly?), then proceeds to chugging his bottle of booze in frenzied excitement. HE-MAN...HE-MAN...HE-MAN!

cvilleluke, I believe that's "loogie" you're looking for.
This is the kind of thing that makes me wish there was less copyright law in the world.
