I remember this film vividly which I saw as a 12 year old.
It is true to say that much of the set gags were somewhat gaudy humour and many of the scenes are contrived to allow Emery to show off his various characters doing their set pieces that we had seen a ten dozen times before in his TV series. Even so, the movie has one central saving factor that made it a hoot. It is how the central character is able to walk through endless assassination attempts unscathed as the two criminal gangs out to kill him keep mutually liquidating each other in the most amusing of manners.
ll-in-all, worth seeing, but not worth busting the bank to buy on ebay.
