A guilty pleasure
Okay, so its not Shakespeare, but I do love this film. It came a little late to the buddy-buddy cop genre of the late eighties, but to see Woods and Fox enjoying ripping the mick out of their personas just makes me laugh everytime.
A nice little surprise
Being a fan of James Woods, I rented this looking for a nice, easy watch. As I always do, I checked out the trailer on the DVD before I watched it, and it instantly lowered my expectations. It really did the film no favours. I was about to send it straight back, but decided to give it a try. Thank God I did.
Starting a bit slow, the film finally starts to settle in and it's great. Who cares if it's just another odd couple cop movie. If it keeps you entertained, that's the main thing.
The serial killer bad guy, however, known as the Party Crasher, is not a good thing. the actor is terrible, and the dialogue usually results into him just bursting out laughing. Sure, you hate him. But, it's not for the right reasons.

President Gordon Parks Jr, who made the imaginative Superfly, just near keeps a mask-like face amid the numerous streak-outs and bouts of kung fu fighting. This is whole of those films where you word for word be defeated enumerate of the number of people being killed. It's so gloriously over the finest that it was itself spoofed in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Keenen Ivory Wayans's comical send-up of the blaxploitation g...
