This movie is the severed horse's head bleeding all over the pajamas of intelligent moviegoers everywhere.
Helmed by writer-director Jim Abrahams - the comedy maverick who brought us Airplane and Hot Shots and The Naked Gun - words cannot describe the humor that every single frame of this movie judiciously avoids.
Attempting desperately to be a spoof of The Godfather and its ilk, Mafia! stars Lloyd Bridges as Don Cortino and Jay Mohr (who does a killer Walken - but not here) as his Pacino-esquire son. That is all ye need to know. From there, it's downhill fast.
Don't ever mention this film around me again.
