This film Beckons the Question....How do you Spoof a film which never took itself seriously to start with,and in some ways was a comedy.
The answer is,it really cant be done and in the end,the Lethal weapon films came up with far more laughs mostly in part to its laid back nature...whilst this film take a far more laboured approach.
When I went to see this back in 1993...I went with much higher expectations and was disappointed.When i hired it recently on video recently i actually found it more funny as i watched it with far less expectation.The laughs in this film range from hit and miss,but the Real problem is Estevez trying to do a Leslie nielsen style deadpan act.It doesnt even remotely work and estevez got more laughs when he played Billy the kid in Young guns.
Kathy Ireland is terrible(as you would expect from a Model)...and whilst Samuel l jackson falters on a humour level,he does show a sternness which helps a little bit.The film looks Utterly cheap and Jon Lovitz trying to do Joe pesci Role is so Bad that one only wished that Pesci himself was hired.
I wont dabble about the rest of the cast...But the film is a real disappointment,and one can only hope that when people attempt to do Spoofs from now on...they can possess some of the Talent of the Airplane boys
I give it 4 out of 10
