When I was a kid growing up all the detectives depicted in this film were replayed over and over again. This film was a gem and it deserves to be held in the highest esteem, right up there with Airplane!, (Known as "Flying High" here in Australia), and was a damn sight better than all the "Movie!" send-ups of the late 90's and early, and continuing, 2000's. This was what a parody film was all about. As opposed to the "Movie" parodies of late, this film was actually enjoyable, and more importantly, funny! I would much rather spend my weekend watching Murder Can Hurt You, Airplane, The Naked Gun, and any other pre 1999 spoof-comedy, than the tripe that is produced every few months nowadays! I Guess my point is, if you're going to make a parody film, put some thought into it, make it genuinely funny, and most importantly, make it relevant and understandable to your viewing audience!
Thank you for listening to my rant!
