Trivia:
Links to the two classic TV series include a cameo by Harry Morgan, and a photo of Jack Webb is visible in one scene. Morgan was originally going to be in one scene only but asked for a bigger part, so he was made the Captain. As well as the closing credits theme of the original series played towards the end of the film.

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Pep Streebeck is watching television using the Seiko brand "TV Watch". He is clearly not using headphones; but the Seiko "TV Watch" has no external speaker and requires the headphones to hear any audio. He is also not using the television's antenna. Therefore, not only should there be no sound coming from the watch, there should also be no reception either.

It gets a bit better every time, until about the 5th time. Then you get a little bored of it. That's why it should be enjoyed Friday night, with a bowl of popcorn,and you should really try to listen to some of the jokes. I must admit a few of the things are a little exaggerated, but it makes up for it with funny things. The expressions and everything Akyroyd does is perfect as the new Joe Friday. I also love how Hanks reacts to some of the things Akyroyd does, and vice versa. The plot is after Friday's old partner leaves, he gets Tom Hanks as his new sidekick, Streeback. They are trying to find out why a cult has been taking things from the animals at a local zoo, a magazine company's been burned down by the cult, and the mystery unravels as you're watching. Like I said, gets a little old after a while, but it's definately worth renting out on Friday night. 3 and a half stars out of 5
