Amusing even if the law of diminishing returns is starting to kick in.January 11, 2008
Not quite as fresh as the first.April 19, 2016
Raunchy, dated send-up of cop movies has lots of sex.June 28, 2011
A nifty, crisp package, but not quite up to the standards of the original picture. A dildo drill can't solve every problem.May 20, 2003
The enthusiastic Zucker, Zucker & Abrahams style of movie parody is too rarely seen to prompt much head-shaking about gags that don't work.May 06, 2014
What's at work here is the comedy law of diminishing returns: if you tell the same jokes over and over and over again, they become less and less and less funny.May 06, 2014
Nielsen combines B-movie earnestness, exuberant mugging, and a trouper's slightly desperate cheerfulness: he turns this rather alarming character into a sweet, ebullient lunatic -- albeit one who's hell on innocent bystanders.January 01, 2000
The opening and closing credits alone are almost worth the price of admission.January 01, 2000
In the limbo of comedy, few can go lower than Zucker without visibly straining.January 11, 2008
Even if the laugh machine isn't operating at top efficiency, it still cranks out a few choice bits of irreverent lunacy.January 11, 2008
A feeble sequel.
