Armed And Dangerous (1986)

This is the 1986 classic starring the late John Candy (Uncle Buck) as a fired cop and Eugene Levy (American Pie) as an attorney who aren't good at their jobs and they get new jobs as security guards. They begin to suspect that something fishy is going on with their union because of multiple robbery's that are happening. With the help of Meg Ryan (Sleepless In Seattle), they try to solve the crimes and become the heroes of the day in a very unorthodox way. The movie is an example of a classic 80's movie with everything you'd want in an eighties film; girls, porn shops, and some great laughs. The movie costars Robert Loggia (Unnecessary Roughness), the late Brion James (48 Hrs), Larry Hankin (Pretty Woman), Tom "Tiny" Lester (Friday) and a cameo by Steve Railsback (The Devil's Rejects, Ed Gein). I give the movie a B+ because it's one of Candy's best performance but not better than Uncle Buck or The Great Outdoors.

  1. Wow, I'd forgotten about this film starring a pre-stardom and very cute Meg Ryan.
    Thanks for the reminder!
