Homer Bennett's birth family was far from perfect. His mom and dad paid the bills by peddling heroin and cocaine from the living room couch of their three-bedroom home on Chicago's South Side. The parents had a sense of decorum. In front of Homer and his brother Frankie, they would refer to the two drugs as "boy" and "girl."

According to Mel's version, one man basically brought down the British army (the British, meanwhile, were themselves controlled by a single man who was inexplicably sadistic and decidedly un-British in decorum). I got so bored during the film (I even yawned during the infamous cannonball decapitation) that I started thinking about what might have happened if we had lost the American Revolution.
