Raising Arizona (1987) DVD RIP in iPod MP4
format..
Arizona petty criminal Herbert "H.I." McDunnough
(Nicolas Cage) (known as "Hi") and policewoman
Edwina (Holly Hunter) (known as "Ed") meet after
she takes the mugshots of the recidivist Hi during
his many trips through her station. Learning that
Ed's fiancé has left her, he proposes to her
after his latest release from prison and the two
get married. They move into a desert mobile home,
and Hi gets a job in a machine shop. Ed discovers
that she is infertile and the couple tries to
adopt, but none of the agencies will accept them
because of Hi's criminal record. The couple learns
of the "Arizona Quints," sons of locally-famous
furniture magnate Nathan Arizona (Trey Wilson); Hi
and Ed kidnap one of the five babies, whom they
believe to be Nathan Junior.
Hi and Ed return home and are soon visited by Hi's
old prison buddies, Gale and Evelle Snopes (John
Goodman, William Forsythe), who have just broken
out under the premise that they have released
themselves on their own recognizance. Under the
brothers' influence, Hi is tempted to revert to
his felonious ways, believing that he and Ed are
not well suited for each other. Their problems are
only worsened when Hi's supervisor, Glen (Sam
McMurray), proposes wife swapping and Hi assaults
him. That night, Hi decides to steal a package of
diapers for the baby and goes on the run from the
entire local neighborhood, the police, the
gun-toting store cashier, and a pack of dogs. Ed
finally relents and picks him up, leading to a
tense ride home.
At the McDunnough residence the next day, Glen
stops by to officially fire Hi and reveals that he
has deduced "Junior's" true identity. He gives Hi
an ultimatum: give up the baby to be raised by
Glen and his child-obsessed wife, or Glen will
turn them in for the reward. Gale and Evelle
overhear this conversation and immediately decide
to betray Hi and take Junior for themselves. Gale
and Hi's ensuing fight wrecks the mobile home's
interior before Hi is subdued and tied up. Gale
and Evelle leave, going through with their plan to
rob a "hayseed" bank, only now with Junior in tow.
When Ed comes home, she finds the battered and
bound Hi and learns that the baby is gone. Despite
their disintegrating relationship, Ed and Hi arm
themselves and set out to retrieve their child
together. En route, Ed suggests that they should
end their marriage after recovering the boy.

At the same time, Nathan Arizona Sr. is approached
by the menacing and heavily-armed biker/bounty
hunter Leonard Smalls (Randall "Tex" Cobb) who
offers to find the child for twice the publicly
posted reward. Even though Nathan Sr. considers
police efforts to locate his son totally
inadequate, he refuses to partake of Smalls'
services. Smalls decides to recover the child
anyway to sell on the black market, which is
exactly what happened to him as a baby. He begins
tracking Gale and Evelle, using the scent of the
brothers' hair pomade. Breaking into the deserted
McDunnough mobile home, he finds a newspaper
clipping concerning the targeted bank.
Gale and Evelle successfully rob the bank but
forget to make sure Junior is in the car before
getting away. Their miseries are compounded when
one of the bank's anti-theft dye canisters
explodes in their loot sack, disabling the car and
incapacitating them. Back at the bank, Smalls
arrives for Junior just ahead of Ed and Hi,
mounting Junior's car seat on the front of his
bike. As he turns around to fight the couple, Ed
grabs the baby and flees; Hi is able to fend
Smalls off for a short time, but then the biker
begins to methodically brutalize him. After
throwing Hi to the ground and drawing his matched
pair of shotguns to finish the job, Hi holds up
his hand to reveal that he has pulled the pin from
one of the hand grenades on Smalls' vest. Smalls
struggles to drop his guns and get rid of the
grenade, but is blown to pieces.
Hi and Ed wearily sneak Nathan Jr. back into his
home and are confronted by Nathan Sr. while
putting him back in his crib. After Nathan Sr.
learns why they took his son, he is
uncharacteristically understanding of their
predicament, and counsels the young couple. When
they say that they are breaking up, he advises
them to not act rashly; perhaps someday, medical
science will catch up with them, just as it did
("with a vengeance") for him and his own wife. Hi
and Ed go to sleep in the same bed, and Hi dreams:
Gale and Evelle elect to return to prison; Glen
gets his due from a Polish-American police officer
after telling one Polack joke too many; and Nathan
Jr. gets a football for Christmas, from someone
other than his family, and later becomes a
football star. The dream suggests that Hi and Ed
will, in fact, grow old together, enjoying holiday
visits from a horde of well-adjusted children and
grandchildren.
