Outrageous 80s comedy

The only real test for a comedy is is it funny? I did laugh a bit through this movie at some of the stand up comedy and some just outright outrageous humour you would be hung, drawn and quartered for doing in 2025. Basically nothing is off limits in this movie, Linda Blair is basically the best known actress in it. Where it doesn't work though for me is the amount of slapstick, puns and physical gags it tries to execute, these are rarely funny.The structure of the film is pretty loose too, it's more a series of sketches with no real strong thread to tie it all together. This movie is more a time capsule now of a certain kind of mad humour which you won't really find in most modern comedies which aim to be more sophisticated now I guess.

Weird, disgusting cult comedy flick

"Night Patrol" is one of those tasteless, revolting '80s comedies like "Bachelor Party" and so many more. It's also an obvious cult flick, with some really strange, unusual touches that will no doubt make it a must-see in some circles, just not mine.The main character, a hapless policeman, is unusually charisma-less, and the actor has nothing like the presence to drive the movie. The only bright spots come from Linda Blair, as another cop with an inexplicable crush on our moustachioed, plane faced hero, and, dare I say it, Andrew Dice Clay as an obsessed wannabe actor. As much as I hate his stand-up, he was a decent comedic actor.The movie has a bizarre plot about the crappy policeman having more success as a stand up comedian with a bag over his head (although his act isn't funny in the least), and there being another guy with a bag over his head robbing people, or something.The movie is, simply put, truly ridiculous, but not consistently funny enough to take you along with it. Details like the police captain being played by the 3'9" vaudevillean actor Billy Barty, who farts constantly, just make the proceedings surreal in a bland kind of way.Did I mention the movie is frequently disgusting? What was it with the '80s and revolting restaurants? Chefs with gordonly stained undershirts, spitting and coughing into food? Why was this ever considered funny?All up, I did laugh a few times, and I guess you have to admire the audacity to make something this out-there, but I was mostly just waiting for it to end, and looking away in a few disgusting moments.
