Undercovers Hero (1974)

The only film that ever made my grandfather laugh

[10/10 · 15 March 2022]

This film has aged badly and there is good reason it is not streaming anywhere significant, but...that all said, I have fond memories of watching this film with my grandfather, who ordinarily would never watch slapstick comedies and was more of a war/history film buff, but who couldn't stop laughing at some of the often puerile but well executed physical comedy of the film. The "farting, sneezing and dropping down dead" sequence - his favourite scene - is oft recalled among our family long after my grandfather passed on, as a remembrance of him and his well hidden wicked sense of humour. But yes, you could never make this movie today.
