This fast-paced comedic take on THE FUGITIVE is definitely one for those who are already acquainted with Nielsen's own brand of humour, as it's not his best film. However it is a highly enjoyable one with a rapid succession of gags and jokes, most of them lowbrow, but at least there are so many that you are bound to find at least some funny. Also included are the expected movie gags ranging from FIELD OF DREAMS to MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE to BRAVEHEART and lots in between. Indeed there's so much going on that dedicated fans will probably want to watch a couple of times to check out all the jokes they missed.
Nielsen is on top form as usual, and supported by an able cast including the likes of Richard Crenna and Michael York. Highlights include the hospital scene, the shoot-out at the end, and lots in between. Although only for acquired tastes, I personally love this type of silly humour and prefer it to the "gross-out" humour which has become so popular as of late. I'd take this over American PIE any day.
