What’s funny is that I saw “The Stunt Man” when I was 15 and, 2 years later, met my husband…who had just moved to my state and was at one time a stunt man!

I’d like to remind the liberal writer who wrote this that President Reagan had just taken office during that time and it was not his recession, it was Jimmy Carter’s recession, the peanut farmer. Either the writer is a moron, or it was intentional.

Honestly the best of the Zucker Bros. I find myself laughing all the time with that movie!

Top Secret was terrible? What planet are you on? I would argue that Top Secret is the best of the 80s/90s slapstick genre — better than Airplane, Naked Gun, and any others.

Well this pretty much sums up why this whole article is hot garbage….

That being said, the majority of these movies tanked because they were tank worthy.

All the great sight gags of the Zuckers’ other movies but feels less like one dimensional parody. The stupid perspective stuff like the giant telephone just gets me so good.
