Storyline

The sleepy summer resort of Amity houses the wildest and craziest officers on the entire Eastern Seaboard, particularly since they're hookers! The town's unique police station has taken crime off the street and into their jail (which now serves as a bordello). But when the town Mayor hires Captain Mary Mae to head up the station, she discovers a new meaning to the term "vice squad."

User Reviews

Stupendously lame comedy has only some T&A to recommend it

"Busted" is a terrible comedy. The jokes are old, unfunny, obvious, moronic, and endlessly repeated (the running gag of the "scary" music heard each time someone says the words "Peeping Tom" is just awful). If you pick a random person off the street and ask him or her to tell you a joke, chances are they'll tell you a better one than any contained in this movie. Chances also are that they'll be better at directing a movie than Corey Feldman, though it may be a little unfair to judge a debuting director's work when the budget constricts him to a single set for about 90% of the running time. The only thing this film has going for it is that some of the women are VERY sexy, especially police officers Lacey and Casey (played by former Playboy Playmates Ava Fabian and Devin DeVasquez). Unfortunately, the movie's ONE potentially good idea, a boxing match between these two, instead of being something funny or sexy, turns into a sour "Rocky" parody. Watch for "special appearances" by Julie Strain, who shockingly (yeah, right) gets naked, and Elliott Gould, who may have appeared in a worse movie in his long career, but I don't want to know anything about it.
