Lieutenant Jangles

A fun, hysterical, and wild ride of a film out of Australia!! Throwback to the 80's action/crime/buddy cop genre, it looks and feels as if it was shot in the 80's. Unlike other want to be throwbacks that just throw on some 80's style clothes and think that will pass, these filmmakers really took the time and put in the work to capture the feel of an 80's action/crime film in all aspects, from editing, sound mixing, dialogue, action sequences, music, and the way it was shot. This film not only deserves a watch, it deserves a buy, so get off your ass distribution companies and release this gem to the world!! I was lucky enough to catch it at it's US premiere at GenreBlast Film Festival and I truly hope the rest of the world gets a chance to see this!! 10/10

This is going to piss some people off badly and make others so happy. It feels like an intentional troll on the audience sometimes which I loved personally. It's making fun of 80s movie tropes and the whole retro nostalgia craze and movie structure at the same time.

I couldn't understand all the slang but I got the jist of it. Highly impressive that it was a group of buddies screwing around and making this as it looks pretty polished compared to so much stuff that looks like it was shot over a weekend. The soundtrack is phenomenal too.

If you love satire movies like the naked gun or scary movie you will absolutely love this as I did.

Awesome cast / crew and story Check it out Quinton ;) Meet Lieutenant Jangles, a foul-mouthed, cigarette-smoking, true-blue Australian cop/cowboy. He's also the eponymous star of a new short film which,judging by the trailer, looks set to deliver action-packed absurd eighties nostalgia. Following a successful Indie go go campaign, the film has finished production and is now in its final stages of post-production Lt. Jangles began his life as a joke that writer/director Nic Champeaux started to develop into a series of long narratives. Eventually, hungry to do something with the character, Champeaux set his sights on an upcoming local film festival

This film is hilarious! A throwback to 80's buddy cop/action movies with a wonderful soundtrack and even better zingers! Please do yourself a favor and see Lieutenant Jangles if you get the chance. I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen at GenreBlast Film Festival. Despite my sleep deprivation, Lieutenant Jangles had me laughing from beginning to end; I didn't even get the chance to remember how tired I was! Definitely one of my favorites from the fest. Can't wait 'till I have the option to buy it so I can show everyone else the hilarity of this movie.

Full of juvenile toilet humour and playground insults. I made the mistake of watching this while sober.

However, if not sober may be considered funny. That is if you enjoy pissing competitions and sh****g on beds.

The jokes are really bad, the references to 80s action movies so blatant it's yawn inducing.

The over the top digital effects are like someone just got an FX package they were determined to use all the features at every opportunity.

I was not surprised to read it cost $15000 AUD to make. What a waste, could have bought a used Nissan Micra.

It was a struggle to watch all the way through and in the end I was left wondering how the film crew managed to stick through the endless repetition and bad jokes with awkward silences as if waiting for someone to laugh.

Usually I enjoy slightly off kilter Aussie and NZ humour such as Bad Taste, Black Sheep and Kenny but this one left me cringing and is not in the same league.

I can only imagine the producers were aiming to make a film so bad it would gain a cult reputation. Maybe it will with a certain demographic after they return home having drank a skinful of beers?
