Gene Hackman teams up with Dan Aykroyd in this hilarious cop spoof. Although totally analytical and brilliant, Aykroyd is totally insane. He has been in a monastery recovering from being tortured while undercover. He has many different personalities and goes into them without any control. The whole movie is over the pursuit of a movie depicting Hitler in homosexual situations and his execution by a man who is running for election to the presidency of Germany. Dom DeLoise plays Harry Gutterman, a Jewish dirty movie seller, who is trying to broker the film. A bunch of Nazis are after the film and anybody who has seen it. The Israelis are also after the film to play it to the world. All of this going on while Hackman is trying to figure out if the Wiley Coyote, Captain Kirk, Bones, Ricky Ricardo, Tweety Bird, or any other personality is tagging along for the ride, and may pop out at any time.Read full review
ANOTHER UNDER RATED GEM HATED BY THOSE IN THE KNOW- THE PROFESSTIONAL CRITIC. BOTH ACKROYED AND HACKMAN ARE WELL SUITED AS POLAR OPPOSITES, AND THE LATE DOM DELUISE COULD PLAY ANY COMEDIC ROLE OF ANY NATIONALITY. HE IS SIMPLY FUNNY AS THE "SCARED JEW" IN THIS ONE. ACKROYD AND HACKMAN ARE POLAR OPPOSITE COPS WHO STUMBLE ON AN INTERNATIONAL CRIME OF MAJOR IMPORTANCE, AIDED BY JEWISH INTELLEGENCE AGENT THE LOVELY NANCY TRAVIS. ALL IN ALL A GREAT WAY TO SPEND A FEW HOURS ON THE COUCH, WITH A FEW LAUGHS AND PRETTY GOOD EXCITEMENT.
Very happy

One of the funniest cop shows I have seen. I bought it to send to my son in Iraq, they need all the funny, lighthearted movies they can get to help pass the time. The group he is with has a lot of police officers and firefighters, so this movie should appeal to a wide audience.
This is a good movie with great actors, humor, and a good story line.This movie has been a favorite of my wife's for many years. We enjoy watching it over and over. Thanks, Dan
