Would have liked to a few more references to their sketches (SPOILER).


I'd have to watch again for other possible moments, but it would have been awesome to see Clarence kill a few guards in the mansion climax like he did in Strike Force Eagle 3: The Reckoning.

I think there were two other moments where it would have been hilarious to see some references to their K&P sketches. Maybe not original, but kind of easter-eggy if they could do that.

On the one hand, I agree the mansion shootout should have been longer. I had been waiting the whole movie for an action sequence set to "Freedom" (the first time I saw the trailer I remember thinking that they better have that song in the climax); so I was kinda sad that things wrapped up so quickly.

On the other hand, I disagree that there should have been sketch references. So many films my sketch comics end up sucking because they can't get out of their old routines. I'd much rather they keep their movies and movies and leave their sketch ideas for sketches.

Well, your response is why I agree that too many references would have come off as lazy, but I think that one to three wouldn't have been a bad thing. It's a weird thing to ask, because so many times, we lambast movies for being lazy. I suppose I just was thinking of specific sketches when I saw specific moments.

I would have liked more references, as well. I only really caught the Liam Neesons bit early on.
