Another offering from National Lampoon, this time a mock-up of the classic Lethal Weapon series. Amusingly, they're not the only victims of parody here. Wayne's World, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Basic Instinct, Chips, Silence Of The Lambs and several others have been incorporated into this wildly hilarious (loosely used term) collage of moments. Obviously, not to be taken seriously and only recommended if you're not expecting a movie that offers a deep-dwelling plot. But it's totally for you if you're into a belly-laugh or two. Samuel L. Jackson's performance is laudable and so is co-star's Emilio Estevez. There are countless cameos by many Hollywood stars and all seem to make the movie a little more entertaining in their own typical way. Definitley worth a rent...
This movie is utterly extraordinary. I cannot make heads nor tails of it. I can appreciate that this was something ground-breaking in 1968, but there's nothing it can be compared to in the 21st century (which is ironic since it's set in the 21st century). It is arguable that the finale of this movie is only understood, and ultimately enjoyed, if you are under the influence of a hallucogenic drug. The colours are spectacular and the music is out-of-this-world (surprise surprise). I have to imagine that the producers of this film were severely displaced and weren't entirely in their right state of mind, which is why this is such a brilliant film.
