"THE VILLAIN" was directed by former stuntman Hal Needham, who does not have a good sense of comedy timing. Neither his editor. "The Villain" look as though it has been heavily padded to make up for a lack of script, even though the film runt only 93 minutes. That may be the picture's principal undoing.

You know the ones, in which Wile E. Coyote repeatedly tries and violently fails to capture the Road Runner.

"The Villain" substitutes human beings for cartoon characters. That's OK, I suppose; but then all the film does is simply steal classic Road Runner bits frame-for-frame. Remember the one where the Coyote paints the side of a mountain to look like a tunnel entrance? And the Road Runner is able to run through "the And the coyote runs into the real mountain when he tries to follow the Road Runner? Remember that? Well, you'll see It again in "The Villain," frame-for-' frame. Only this time you can see the special effects. The joke doesn't work in a flesh-and-blood movie.

KIRK DOUGLAS stars as a western outlaw who tries to learn how to be bad by studying a dime novel full of the adventures of famous western bad-men. Douglas is let out of jail by a crooked, small-town banker who wants Douglas to steal the fortune belonging to an old man who has a voluptuous daughter. Ann-Margret wears a low-cut gown, and typical of the film's sniggering sense of humor is the scene in which Ann-Marget gets off a stagecoach; hands her suitcases to a handsome stranger, and says, "Will you hold these?" The camera, of course, is showing us only her plunging neckline. Har de har har. Douglas ends up playing the coyote out to squelch the handsome stranger (bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger) who protects Ann-Margret as she transports a safe full of money across Arizona's Monument Valley to her father.

In his efforts, Douglas is flattened twice by the same papier-mache boulder, falls out of a tree in slow-motion, and is nearly crushed by a locomotive. You will have seen all these scenes done before in the cartoons with a much better sense of timing. Schwarzenegger looks and sounds ridiculous- but not funny wearing a CREASE MAIN EVENT iVENT I PQ IN-LAWS, PG mm iiiniimv wmwinminiTt vine wfiimiTnirTttinii!
