Description

One of the world's most beloved comedians, Britain's outrageous Benny Hill, hits the streets of New York City and does his best to take a big bite out of the Big Apple, with hilarious results! He embraces the city with all his bumbling enthusiasm, mastering rap, demonstrating the finer points of picking up a New York woman and learning how to assist a beautiful cosmopolitan damsel in distress. Of course, no Benny program would be complete without Hill playing a few female roles. He's both Dr. Ruth Westhiemer and Roseanne Barr in a hysterical skit called "Ask Dr. Ruth" and dons drag for "A Streetcar Named Desire." With legendary comedian Joey Faye and actress Lee Meredith, this program keeps you laughing from beginning to end... a true Benny Hill classic! Benny Hill's Final Television Special!

It pains me to say this, but this is probably Benny Hill's worst effort. It is nothing more than remakes of sketches from the original show with New York backgrounds and unknown replacement actors. And no Hill's Angels. Stick to the original shows

5 out of 5 stars Australian's beware the 'Region 1' setting of this DVD.......2006-08-06

I also bought the 5 sets of "Benny Hill Complete and Unadulterated" - they all play fine on my computer here in Australia. .. but the "Benny Hill's World Tour: New York" will not play in Australia automatically - as it states it is set to "Region 1" - just 'google' to easily find a solution. After watching, I felt sad to see Benny like this - there are a couple rehashed jokes from many years ago - I liked the Dr Ruth impression ... not sure about the Roseanne impression though - I felt that Benny needn't have altered his accent so much to cater for a US audience. They loved his work from the past, so why did he feel the need to attempt the various US accents? To me, alot of the Benny Hill magic was lost.
