...laughs that can be found in All You Need Is Cash are visual. Idle and Weis have reshot sequences from Richard Lester's mod Beatles films (now called A Hard Day's Rut and Ouch!) to poke wicked fun at their most faddish excesses; similar pranks have been pulled on the psychedelic animation of Yellow Submarine.

The four Rutles (Idle, Innes, John Halsey, Rikki Fataar) are virtually indistinguishable, and their performances are morbidly charmless...

Between them sat Carl, confined along with his drums, snares, gongs and tubular bells in a percussion cockpit that resembled nothing so much as a mod four-poster converted into a padded cell for the phantom of the opera. The music built relentlessly, awesomely powered by 72,000 watts worth of amplification -enough to start a medium-sized radio station. The volume never reached the threshold of pain (130 decibels), but it was, in Salmon...
