6/10
Bonkers! Just Absolutely Bonkers!!

If you are of the right frame of mind and want to take a fun trip down memory lane - 'D. C. Cab' is everything you're looking for and maybe more. Featuring actors & actresses ripped from the 70's & 80's with a boatload of humor and outlandish character moments. I don't know if I've ever seen a film that is so unabashedly un-PC, entertaining and without much in the way of a central plot (until near the end).

A dismal cab company, its employees, hijinks and it's all bathed in real flavor of that time period. Look at this crazy cast! Gary Busey, Mr. T, Marsha Warfield, Charlie Barnett, Bill Maher, Paul Rodriquez, the Barbarian Brothers, Whitman Mayo, Max Gail and a very young Adam Baldwin in one of his first roles. There's rampant swearing, nudity and just a cornucopia of craziness going on here. It's written and directed by Joel Schumacher! Music by Giorgio Moroder!! To say it has a unique brand of energy is an understatement.

Things move at a pretty fast clip. This is a flick that is perfectly fine in letting itself go off in whatever direction it wants. There's some loose strings about improving the company. A hefty reward being offered for a lost item, a serial robber and even a kidnapping scheme. 'D. C. Cab' slices down the middle. Either you'll enjoy everything it stands for or you won't. I dug it.
