Night Patrol

source: Night Patrol

This is one of those classic funny comedies from the 1980's. This film has everything comedy, action, and romance. One of my most favorite characters is "Tony Baroni" played by Andrew Dice Clay. Baroni wants to desperately become a comic, but can not. He is believed to be "not funny," so he dons a paper bag, and tries to act like the "unknown comic, " still no cigar. Billy Barty's excessive farting is superb. I did not know that any human being could fart for such a long length of time. Pat Morita as a rape victim with a dubbed voice is priceless. I am surprised that there were no special features on the DVD. Pat Paulsen should also be mentioned, he was funny on "The Smothers Brothers" show, and he is crazy funny here. Cheers for the unknown comic, and his bags of zany jokes. A 10/10

This movie is the king of bad taste. Furthermore it is probably the funniest movie that a 14 year old boy can see. But if you're older than 14 then you probably won't like it.

I went to see this movie on the night it was released in LA. While watching it, my friend and I repeated over and over, "It can't get worse." It did! In a theater of over 500 people who started watching, only 5 masochists were there at the end (including my friend and I.) This is a movie of poorly produced puns with one decent joke, which got a laugh more of pain then anything else. I have to assume that anyone who gave this movie a grade higher then a 2 never saw it.

Linda Blair's talents in this horribly unfunny and vulgar comedy are limited to three cameos.Since the real stars of this stupid and sophmoric film are:Murray Langston(formerly NBC TV's and Mr.Chuck Barris'"Unknown Comic"on"The Gong Show")and The Late Mr.Pat Paulson as two cops.Who work the night shift and they do little more than louse up their cases and spout off vulgar and unfunny wisecracks that belong in cheap comedy clubs.The Late Billy Barty's appearances in this film are also limited to small guest appearances.Where he does little more than shout foul mouth wisecracks and flatuate.And Ms.Blair as"police Dispatcher"Sue Per Man" is there simply to faun over Mr.Langston's character and have her tushie pinched by Mr.Paulson..Who gets a well earned smack in the mouth.This film is a waiste of time and Money.It also waistes the talents of Poor Ms.Blair and Poor Mr.Barty.They deserve better acting work than being on "The Night Patrol".

This was a funny movie without a great deal of subtext. In our world anything which makes us laugh for a moment is a welcome relief.It is certainly not a literature in cinematic form. Neither is it the junk we are subjected to in this day and age. The movie speaks of a time when bangle bracelets and big hair bands ruled the day, and movies like this are not any more crude than the junk which is located on many channels without any warning whatsoever. I laughed at this movie for at least three hours. My husband and I seldom agree on movies but for some reason we can watch and re-watch this movie for hours. It may not be family entertainment, yet it is entertainment none the less.

Night Patrol is one of those films where you finally catch your breath after laughing, and then lose it again a second later. I seen the movie for the first time on the same day I'm posting and I'll say it tops most comedies I've seen to this day. If you like Conan O'Brien type humor then this movie will put a smile on your face, and a tear in your eye. Or something like that.

This is a schlock masterpiece, and a truly funny film. It is stupid, tasteless, and perverted, and funny as hell. I like this BETTER than Police Acadamy and many of those 80's cop films like that. Sure, it is raunchy and dumb but it is all in good fun. This also has one of the greatest restaurant jokes I have ever seen...the refill gag. If you don't know what I am talking about see this film. A scene that is also hilarious is a scene when random people on the street suddenly break out and sing. Also, the unknown comic is a real laugh...his jokes are not funny, which is why it makes it so funny! Make any sense? The movie is basically about another unknown comic who is ruining the unknown comic's reputation for an unknown reason! And the worst cops ever are sent to bring justice to this Unknown Comic. These cops make Police Academy look good! See this film if you are a fan of schlock, if not, stayyy awayyy...

"Night Patrol" is a stupid and vulgar comedy that made me laugh a couple of times, but I'm not sure why. "Night Patrol" contains some of the most disgusting jokes that I've ever seen. These jokes aren't funny; they're just tasteless. Plus, this movie is a perfect example of just how sloppy filmmaking can get. Jackie Kong, the director of "Night Patrol" has no talent whatsoever. Just think of what Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker ("Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun") or the Farrelly Brothers ("There's Something About Mary" and "Dumb and Dumber") could have done with this material. Stick with "Police Academy", which "Night Patrol" pretty much rips off. *1/2 (out of four)

If this isn't the worst American film of the 1980s, it might be the worst American film of the century. It is incredibly juvenile, vulgar, crude, and totally unfunny. Every aspect of the film is terrible, from the "acting" to the photography. I know that Pat Paulson was embarrassed by the film, once telling a television interviewer "It wasn't my fault." It was apparently Jackie Chan's fault. In any case, this dud deserves a permanent spot on the Golden Turkey list.
