This movie is so before my time...

But dammit, it cracks me up like every modern comedy I love.
Watching the bar scene right now (stayin alive, stayin alive), with the Girl Scout fight...goodness. This movie is such a joy.
And jive talk with subtitles a little before.
Such good laughs.

(Edit) And I still have the Leslie Nielson scenes to look forward to!

I'm realizing now how much this movie spoofs other movies that were way before my time.
Them making out on the beach, like that one movie, but here they are both covered in seaweed.
Just so ridiculous.

And the first scene with Leslie Nielson:
"Are you a doctor?"
And he's got a stethoscope in his ears.
Classic!
