Murder Can Hurt You!

My sister and I saw this as kids (me, 10; her, 7) and we still talk about it to this day. We've tried to rent it, but of course it is not available, but my parents had taped it for us the second time it was on (on Beta) and we watched it over and over again. Very clever parody of murder mysteries with a funny cast and silly plots that twist into a surprising and fun ending. Can't say enough about it....

I have a digital copy from a 1980 VHS recording since this only aired once, if anyone would like to see this again.

When I was a kid growing up all the detectives depicted in this film were replayed over and over again. This film was a gem and it deserves to be held in the highest esteem, right up there with Airplane!, (Known as "Flying High" here in Australia), and was a damn sight better than all the "Movie!" send-ups of the late 90's and early, and continuing, 2000's. This was what a parody film was all about. As opposed to the "Movie" parodies of late, this film was actually enjoyable, and more importantly, funny! I would much rather spend my weekend watching Murder Can Hurt You, Airplane, The Naked Gun, and any other pre 1999 spoof-comedy, than the tripe that is produced every few months nowadays! I Guess my point is, if you're going to make a parody film, put some thought into it, make it genuinely funny, and most importantly, make it relevant and understandable to your viewing audience!

Thank you for listening to my rant!

It is funny to read these comments too. I was maybe 9 when I watched this; And couldn't remember anyhting other that the name, someone like Columbo was in it, and an a car accident that created a giant omelete.

I wonder if anyone knows where to find it. I would love to watch it again.

How far away is "retro TV on demand". The technology is in place. The networks should really look into the details.

I can get syndicated TJ Hooker, I should be able to get these old TV movies.

Thank god for IMDb.

Hey qhavcnwv, So glad to hear you still have a copy. I would love to see your digital copy. How would one go about getting a copy from you?

Sometimes silly movies are good for a laugh.
