Hello Brewster, Bud Cort and Altman fans. Just Wanted you all to know that if you want all the latest on this "forgotten" gem of a film, Brewster McCloud go to my tribute site at http://geocities.com/brewsterfan1 It's the only site on the web dedicated to this film. Come give us a visit!
Jason.
Ha! Greetings Jason!
Saw Brewster 20 years ago in an obscure little cinema in Manchester UK...and it's taken as long to find others who even know of it! I blame my love of this film on childhood attempts to get airbourne jumping off a high wall with a golfing umbrella...(it was all downhill from there).
Thanks for the greeting! Please visit the site often! Perhaps more people will convince MGM to release the film on DVD!
share...oh ya, just remembered, I also once tried to fly by jumping off my treehouse with a bedsheet. For some reason, It didn't make me fly like Brewster. However, the ending was still the same as in the film!
shareHi everyone! I just wanted everyone to know that I just made some new updates to the Brewster McCloud website! Go to http://geocities.com/brewsterfan1 for more!
shareThanks for the site! This is such a funny, subverisly brilliant film and really deserves a full on DVD treatment. Seeing with Altman's Oscar (well deserved and very, very late!) that he's goning to be the flavor of the month which smells like money calling out who ever has the power to make that happen.... it would be for the best. Seeing it will remind you what movies are all about! It really is that good!
shareWhen I was in elementary school, I told all the kids I had invisble wings and could fly across the playground. When they asked me to demonstrate, I told them it would be a little difficult. I faked another time too... (un-related to flying). I once tried to copy the character Clara, from the Shirley Temple film "Heidi," by pretending I had broken my leg and my parents couldn't afford a cast. I had kids transporting me to class and the parents of my classmates would call my house, wishing me the best, and my parents were like, "What are you talking about?"

My brother was Bud's, stunt double, in this movie. I was hoping to see it released on dvd this year. It was a great time!
shareDo you or your brother have any stories about Bud Cort or can you tell us which scenes he did stuntwork in? I have the VHS version of the film and know it very well. Was he in any of the flying sequences in the Astrodome?
