Poliziotto superpiù (1980)
Cult Classic - You Have to See This at Least Once In Your Life
It's been at least 20 years since I've seen this movie, and I still can't get it out of my head. I just found out that it's being re-released on DVD February 27, 2007! I pre-ordered this on February 1st and can't wait.
This movie is everything a cult classic dreams to be - quasi-famous actors, cheesy FX, corny music, and not-your-average plot. This is the type of movie that film was made for. If you're tired of the plastic, bar-coded, multi-million dollar, computer-generated, A-list-stars-competing-for-camera-time, over-marketed blockbuster, then this is your movie. It was made for the average Joe.
If you like movies like "Looker", "Beast Master", or "Swamp Thing", then "Super Fuzz" is for you. I'll definitely be having a "Super Fuzz" party when this comes in.

Looker (1981)
Great movie with some interesting points
I first saw this movie on HBO as a child. I couldn't remember the name of th movie or who played in it, but I couldn't get the scene of Albert Finney on the commercial set near the end of the movie out of my mind. After asking around using that scene as my only guide, I was finally able to get someone to tell me.
After watching it again, I was very interested in the movie's plot despite how ridiculous it seemed. For example, why would RI security officers be at the scene of a car accident? Why didn't DMI use computers to generate locations as well as models? Or why did the mustachioed man suddenly remember he had those special glasses in the car chase scene only AFTER being shot by the LOOKER gun? There are others.
But it has it's redeeming qualities as well. The music is captivating and helps to build on the excitement of some of the action scenes. And I don't believe I've seen a more passionate kick to the groin than the one given by Albert Finney. All in all, Looker would probably not stand up next to today's movies, but it has a charm about it. It must have made some kind of impression on me as a child to remain in my head for the past 25 years. Recommended rental. Buy it if you like off-beat, quasi-mainstream movies. I bought it and plan on getting good use out of it. Perfect for unsuspecting house guests.
