The forgotten 80s comedy that has some great moments
I had a bit of nostalgia going on and this movie popped into my head. ]I thought I'd catch it again. The problem - finding a copy online to watch. No streaming service hosts it. No streaming service even rents. it. Did it actually exist?
Well, I finally 'obtained' a copy and watched it. It was exactly as I remembered.
John Murray doing a spot-on impression of his brother, Bill? Check. Where's the Beef reference (with actress cameo)? Check. Sally Kellerman as a sexy, corrupt judge? Check. Silly ripoff of Police Academy? Check check check.
Is it the best comedy of all time? Not even close, bub. Does it have some hilarious moments? You got that right, mister.
It's worth watching just for the practically blind old woman jokes peppered throughout the thing. Seriously, just watch for Mrs. Hauk scenes and you'll get your money's worth, especially when she's thrown through a window and rolling around on a bed with a couple getting busy. That and the famous "Blood on the Highway" driver's ed film.
A random stranger's opinion - Sometimes a movie clicks with you though a lot of people will roll their eyes. I'd like to think there are dozens of us who will love this flick.
