Storyline
In Cleveland, the histrionic and clumsy executive Nelson Hibbert expects to be promoted to president of the Nigel Industries since he is engaged to the owner's daughter. However, his future father-in-law Mr. Nagel chooses the executive Ken Daly for the position, and Nelson threatens him in front of the board of directors. Later he decides to pay a visit to Mr. Nagel but finds him dead with a knife in his neck. Nelson removes the knife and is covered of blood, becoming hysterical and leaving the office assuming that he is the prime suspect. However, the surveillance cameras disclose the identity of the killer, and while Nelson escapes to Metcaf believing that he is chased by the police, the killer is pursued by the police and tries to eliminate Nelson believing that he is a "super-cop" on his trail.

Quotes
Det. Arlen:
Captain Hughes, I want to know one thing. Are you sure it was him?
Capt. Hughes:
I'm positive. Uh, he wounded a bunch of my guys. He did this somersault thing onto a squad car while shooting.
Det. Arlen:
That's him all right. I've seen him pull himself up into an air duct.
Capt. Hughes:
Really?
Det. Arlen:
Well, great, he's out of Cleveland. No longer my problem. Let's go, Jimmy!

wow. who even knew this movie existed? well i was in virgin records and saw it on the shelf. suffice to say i rented it, and i LOVED it. i plan on buying it most likely. the beginning is a little slow but it's one of those comedies where you find yourself in tears by the middle. just terrific acting, especially by the investigator who loves to spend the gov't money on restaurants and theater - he really steals the show. seriously tho, if you enjoy great comedies with a silly edge - ex. The Naked Gun & Saving Silverman - you will enjoy this.
by the way - the movie was fairly kid appropriate. i think ages 10+ should have no problems watching this.
