This is one John Landis movie that isn’t broadcast on Comedy Central regularly, and for no good reason. It’s no Coming to America, but scads better than Spies Like Us. Albeit predictable at times, there are enough (dare I say?) clever bits to merit a screening – it’s a farce, after all. Plus, Stallone does slapstick much better than cop-buddy. Harry Shearer (recognizable from This is Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind; also the voice of Montgomery Burns, Ned Flanders, Dr. Hibbert…) plays an Italian seamster who measures Stallone’s inseam with expected results.
