            THE MOTHER JUGS & SPEED FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS LIST
===============================================================================

	This list is a compendium of Frequently Asked Questions about the
movie Mother Jugs & Speed (MJ&S). Granted, not too many people have been
asking questions, but this list is nonetheless provided for the curious
reader. This list is meant to be a companion piece to the official Mother
Jugs & Speed mailing list, and comes in handy for those not familiar with
the movie who have questions about it. The current maintainer of this list
is Jim Allenspach (jima@bucs1.bradley.edu), who is solely responsible for
its content. Any corrections, suggestions, and/or feedback should be sent
to him, NOT the maintainer of the mailing list.
	To get on the MJ&S mailing list, write to Daniel Rench
(drench@bucs1.bradley.edu).

1.	Who played Mother, and what did he do in the movie?
A:	Bill Cosby played Mother, the lead-footed driver.

2.	Who played Jugs, and what did he do?
A:	That's *she*, mind you. Jugs was played by Raquel Welch, and in the

	incoming advances.	Jugs, by the way, is 23 years old when
	the movie takes place.

3.	Who played Speed, and what did he do?
	Speed, the suspended cop with the dark past, was played by Harvey
	Keitel (though there is some speculation on the net that Jan
	Michael Vincent could have done a much better job as Speed).

4.	Who else was in the movie?
A:	Dick Butkus and Larry Hagman.

5.	Oh, really? What roles did THEY play?
A:	Well, Dick Butkus played Rodeo (another ambulance driver who hailed
	from Lubbock, TX), and Larry Hagman played Murdoch.

6.	What is Harry Fishbine's nickname?
A:	Harry Fishbine, the owner of the F+B Ambulance Service at which
	MJ&S are gainfully emplyed, is nicknamed "Doughnut".

	and Suspect (1987). No MJ&S II.

8.	What's the movie about?
A:	It's a free-wheeling brew of black comedy and melodrama that
	centers around the outlandish exploits of a shoestring ambulance
	crew.
