    very good

    I dont know why this movie is hated by so many people. It's funny, action packed and Martin Lawrence and the rest of the cast give good performances. Sure it's pretty unbelievable but so are most movies out there. Also, the film has a solid car chase scene at the end which is a solid way to end a fine film. The opening heist scene is also pretty good as well, a good way to start the film. Also the shootout at the grocery store is very funny, as well as several other scene's. Highly Recommended, for anyone who likes action-comedies. 4/5

    great vehicle for Martin Lawrence

    This movie really delivers in the laughter department and succeeds as a vehicle for star Martin Lawrence. In the film, Lawrence plays a thief who steals a diamond and manages to hide it in a building structure before being caught and sent to prison for two years. Upon his release, he finds that the building is now a police station, and he has to impersonate a cop to get in and claim his prize. That is where the real fun stuff begins. The movie is funny.

    *** out of ****

    One of the best Martin Lawrence Action/Comedy movies!

    Blue Streak

    Starring: Martin Lawrence, Dave Chappelle and Luke Wilson

    Genre: Action/Comedy/Crime

    Rated: PG-13

    Another great Action/Comedy buddy movie! The movie is about a bank robber named Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence) who steals a crafty jewel and then hides it in a construction site where his $20 Million heist went awry. Now that he is out of jail, he wants to get the loot back! But the problem was that the place where he hid it was now the new Los Angeles Police Station. So Miles goes in as a member of the LAPD and works with Carlson (Luke Wilson) a rookie at the LAPD. So now Miles gives up being a thief and becomes a detective. One of my most favorite Martin Lawrence movies ever! One of my favorite parts was when Miles was disguising as a wacky pizza delivery man. This is one of the most successful Martin Lawrence movies plus another one of the best movies of 1999! One of the best Martin Lawrence movies ever!

    EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED

    Blue Streak is exactly what you think it is. A fun, explosion filled action comedy from the 90s. It gives you exactly what it promises, no more no less. A solid, sit back and relax with your feet up movie.

    I have a serious soft spot for films like this. They put you in a good mood, letting you forget your troubles for an hour and a half. Nothing game changing, but 100% as advertised. Really enjoyed this one.

    Have a good one.

    Very Funny Movie

    I know that many people may not like this movie, but I thought it was very good. The plot was very simple and unique, the characters performed well, and the movie itself was very entertaining. There were some funny and memorable parts, including the famous oodles of noodles scene. In my opinion the funniest character in Blue Streak was Sulley. All of his parts were funny, and I feel he expressed his part very well. I recommend that you see this movie before Blue Streak 2 comes out in 2002. Overall, 8 of 10.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The police station is actually a façade that was bolted onto the Los Angeles Central Public Library. The façade itself took the production department five weeks to build, and another one and a half weeks to attach to the Library.
    • Goofs
      When Miles launches the police car into the air, shots from inside the car as it flies show the guardrail of the bridge outside, ruining the illusion that they're in a car flying through the air.
    • Quotes

      Tulley: I'll rip your lips off, and kiss my ass with them shits. I'll rip your tongue out, and lick my balls with it.
