Anyone else love this movie?

I know I do. I've always had a soft spot for this flick. Don't ask me why, as I don't normally like Sandra Berhardt's acting. But something about this movie, maybe it's the crazy capers, unrealistic slapstick, weird style, the singing, or Aiello and Willis but I've always considered this movie a "cult classic." I'd love to see a sequel.

I love this movie too. In fact I'm watching it right now. I think I love it because there are so few movies like it. As long as you can watch this movie and not take it seriously then its one of the funniest movies around. You're not alone, this is a great movie and don't let any one tell you otherwise.

Yeah it's too bad nobody takes chances with movies anymore. I'm all about movies that don't fit into any genre.

I'd say 'Last Action Hero' is in the same 'intelligence-under-a-silly-surface' category of spoof film.

Lemme get that straight? You post about the movie you're playing instead of just watching it?

Until I came to this board just now, I always thought that maybe I was the only one who really thought this movie was funny as all hell. I showed it to a few friends over some beers and a bowl or five, and half of them were shaking their head and the others were in love.

This is a great movie. I think almost everything in it is kind of clever and funny, even Willis's little wisecracks and the Pope banging the TV with his staff. Just a silly, hilarious film.

Oh, and there's all kinds of cool conspiracy stuff as well.

Love it as well. the slapstick is great, but there are also more subtle things I love, like the fact that they never resolve any falls (from the auction room at the beginning, or when they escape the exploding flat of Anna). it just cuts to the next scene, and although itr could be a plot hole, it makes me laugh all the time. if it's intentional, it's pure comedy genius!

Air Bags! Sprinkler System!

"Yeah!... That could have happened!" Could have, completely aware of the ridiculous implausibility of it. This is one of my top ten favorite movies. Possibly one of (if not THE) most clever/witty movie I've ever seen. Neck and neck with Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.
All of the snide remarks, between the ridiculousness which everybody in the movie seems to be in on.. I feel like most people just don't "get" this movie at all. It's just not what people expect, so they are automatically disappointed.
Bunny? Ball Ball! - Possibly top three funniest things I've ever seen.

I loved the movie when I was younger, and watched it several times. Cool humor back then
