Just saw it tonight. Brilliant. My housemate's boyfriend reckons it's even funnier than Shaun of the Dead - and I think it might be right. One thing I really loved about it is that, despite all the horrific and appalling violence in the film, none of it was gratuitous. I mean, it's a film about horrific and appalling murders, but it's actually got a much lower body count than any of the films it's taking off: sure, all of the bad guys get hurt, but none of them get killed. I really like that. I hate the way most big-budget Hollywood action flicks treat human life as essentially disposable.

Gotta admit, the bit I laughed longest at was the take-off of the line from Chinatown: "Forget it, Nicholas. It's Sanford." Tee-hee!

All of us laughed hardest at the part where Danny's father's getting away and Danny pulls a Point Break. Even better that we were still dying from the swan swerve.

Well since this thread has started giving loads away - yeah! I really loved the direct references of other cop films followed by parodying them. Point Break it one of my favourite films, too.

The thing with always going to buy ice cream was cute, and when Danny invited him in for coffee, and Bill Bailey's character made me laugh. But then I always love Bill Bailey. Also Adam (or was it Joe?) from The Adam and Joe Show as the journalist. I haven't seen him on telly for ages. He was probably one of my favourite characters in the film - the only one with a brain at least! All you people talking about it makes me want to see it again right now! :(

Well, I think the US was the last place for it to debut, and it's been a week since it debuted, so I figure screw it. If you haven't seen it by now, you shouldn't be reading forum threads about it.

That having been said: "SWAN!"

thehoopiestfrood:
It was Adam.

I loved the references to Bad Boys II because it is my utter favourite guilty pleasure film. I actually cheered a bit. If I am a bit off my face I will argue with anyone that Bad Boys II is the greatest film all of time. (I don't actually believe it, but it's fun to argue.) I should be ashamed but I'm really not. I love it so much!
