I saw this movie once. Back when tablets, smartphones, Facebook and other social media where still part of the (not so distant) future. And i can tell you right now that time did not do this movie any good.... Its really remarkable that a movie from only 22 years ago seems to be from a totally different world. I suspect however that this movie will probably be regarded as a timeless classic by the time people from the 70ties and 80ties become senior citizens and want to reminisce about old times... Like currently is the case with a lot of movies from the 50ties and 60ties. I could be wrong however. James Belushi is not exactly a top actor, even his best movies i consider to be crap.

But I was surprised how sexist and ra More
