I don't know whether its the acting or the poor processing quality on some movies, but they are instantly recognisable as 'Canadian'. I don't know what it is exactly, and can't put my finger on it, but within about 30 seconds of seeing one it is nailed as being dire much like any film with dick van dyke, any of the original charlies angels or the bionic woman.

two things.

a) You're right... canadian films are definitely noticeable from amaerican ones and i've never figured out why either.

b) you can't knock Dick Van Dyke. He's hilarious. I watch the old TV show all the time

I have to admit, Lynda Carter is one beautiful woman. Absolutely gorgeous. :)


My youngest and I could always tell when we were watching a Canadian film. Those were the ones where we turned to each other and said "you know...I like this movie!" :)
