And here's another one who recommends seeing it. Not only for Ray Milland's performance, but, also because it features one of the few theatrical appearances of the late Don Rickles. Who, if you see it, can be heard voicing Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 4.  The powers that be were not going to include him in the film, but, Rickles' family wanted this is to be last big screen appearance, so enough outtakes from the previous films and video games were found, so he could be included in the film.

DON RICKLES isn't in FROGS...?  Is he?   :question:

No-he isn't...

Unless he's one of the frogs!

The only horror film with Rickles I can recall is INNOCENT BLOOD (1992).
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)

that's how i thought it was going to be as well. i love his horror stuff too, have you seen his (1962) film Premature Burial? it's well worth watching i'm huge Roger Corman nut and he directed that one  i believe. others he did was Dial M for Murder the (1954) classic that's worth it too. looking at his filmography he did one in (1977) called The Uncanny i have a copy of that actually but i haven't watched it all yet as it's not very good, Peter Cushing is it's star i believe. and it's got a huge theme on Cats.

i know it's been said already but i love X-The man with the X-Ray eyes that's such a damn good film. can you believe a few years ago they were going to do that as damn comedy with Eddie Murphy? i am so glad they didn't. one he did that i saw that was Decent was (1969)'s Daughters of the Mind a tv movie that also had John Carradine.  it was a decent film but nothing special and quite forgettable cause i watched that a few years back and i can't remember anything about it. it's that forgettable but not painful to watch i will give it that.


I haven't seen Premature Burial yet, but it is high on my list of films to watch. Well, high on films that I want to watch if I can get my hands on them for low or no money.

Thanks for your other recommendations to. I love John Carradine though he appeared in a TON of crap (which he readily admitted to during his life).

The only horror film with Rickles I can recall is INNOCENT BLOOD (1992).

Rickles was in the previously mentioned X: The Man With the X-Ray Eye (though that really is more sci-fi) and Innocent Blood.

He was also in a pretty decent Tales from the Crypt episode about an unsuccessful ventriloquist and the master ventriloquist he looked up to with Rickles playing the latter.

But yeah not many horror appearances from Rickles unfortunately.

No, you are correct, Don Rickles is not in Frogs. I don't know what I was thinking, when I posted my previous post. He was in X : the Man with X-ray Eyes. And thank-you Allhallowsday for catching that error. And again my apologies to everyone for my error.

Finally got around to watching X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes today. Long before this thread I've been wanting to see that one. For about 20 years actually but just never got around to it. Amazon Prime has it for those interested.
