August 13, 20214 yr Last night I watched Super Troopers for the first time. It was hilarious. Also Lethal Weapon is not a comedy. It’s an action flick.

Love Lethal Weapon, think there is some funny as shit stuff in it but agree with this sentiment. I guess you could argue that about BHC too, I mean after all the movie starts with a hit and the final scenes involve Axel, Billy and Taggert storming a house defended by guys with Uzis, BUT the lead star is Eddie Murphy, in the 80s, at the height of his comedic genius and that in and of itself gives you an idea of the intent (much less all the ways he gets shit done)

August 13, 20214 yr City Heat with Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds. But yeah, Naked Gun trilogy Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2 48 hours Pink Panther Strikes Again. Edited August 13, 20214 yr by BonzoMontreaux

I wouldn't call what Sheriff Buford T. Justice was doing "police work". He was seeking personal retribution for his aggy son being left at the alter.

That, and getting to see the flying nuns great legs. Edited August 16, 20214 yr by Onboard 2.0
August 13, 20214 yr I would think to be a cop movie that the protagonist should be the cop. Smokey and the Bandit is an outlaw movie.

August 13, 20214 yr But the Sheriff steals the movie, therefore it's a cop comedy. Fuck you and goodnight.

August 16, 20214 yr By the powers INvested IN ME by *this parish*, I hereby do commandeer this vehicle and all those persons within!
August 16, 20214 yr I humbly nominate Let's Be Cops as an underrated, more modern cop comedy. Super Troopers still holds up.
August 16, 20214 yr I like most mentioned. Armed and Dangerous with John Candy and Eugene Levy wasn't bad either if you would count former cop becoming a security guard with former lawyer.

August 17, 20214 yr The Guard is a great call. That movie is fucking hilarious. “Now I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: these men are armed and dangerous, and you being an FBI agent you're more used to shooting at unarmed women and children...“Oh fuck you Sergeant!”

I stumbled on Let's Be Cops while stuck in a Missouri Motel 6 waiting on a tire shop to open. That movie saved the fucking day. A stoned and horny Natasha Leggero didn't hurt. As you said, underrated.

August 17, 20214 yr Junior high me thought Sledge Hammer! with David Rasche and Anne-Marie Martin was some of the funniest television available. I am sure that if I watched an episode today I would realize just how stupid junior high me was.
August 19, 20214 yr Super Troopers is probably my #1, but the Jump Streets were fucking hilarious and tend to get overlooked imo.
