Man, reading all the ferociously harsh reviews of this one is depressing. I can't believe so many people mercilessly slag this blissfully stupid, witless and tasteless chunk of choice 80's comedy cheese. I personally think this delightfully raucous and rambunctious movie is funny as all hell. Sure, it's dumb, gross and unsubtle, plus very politically incorrect (there are foul jokes made about rape, voyeurism, lesbianism, vertically challenged folks with problem flatulence, and much, much worse),so of course I love it. The best humor is no-holds-barred humor that dares to be possibly offensive and picks on every conceivable target without shame, fear or apology. "Night Patrol" is loaded with this kind of gleefully brazen and disgusting humor. We've got the alarmingly buxom Kitten Natavidad exclaiming "No, this is a bust!" while baring her ample breasts. Billy Barty drives a bunch of hookers out of town in his car because he promised to. Sydney Lassick does an uproarious cameo as a leering peeping tom. Pat Morita has a truly bizarre bit part as a male rape victim who speaks in a whimpering woman's voice (!). Then there's the lesbian bar ... well, I can't go into specifics on that one, but it's one of the most hilariously rude moments in a film that's just ripe to bursting with 'em. Moreover, the luscious Lori Sutton doffs her duds and gives us a nice, long, lingering look at her generous assets, Andrew "Dice" Clay tells a lot of groaningly awful jokes, Murray "the Unknown Comic" Langston performs his sidesplitting stand-up act several times, the ever-bubbly Linda Blair looks mighty cute, Pat Paulson lends fine support, and such folks as Jaye P. Morgan, Vic Dunlop, and Jack Riley pop up in suitably embarrassing secondary roles. Sure, it's no work of art, but "Night Patrol" overall is way too energetically inane and blatantly moronic to hate. Hell, I'm not the least bit ashamed to admit I enjoyed this terrifically tacky hoot tremendously. And, yes, I do indeed own the Anchor Bay DVD for this honey, which it goes without saying I watch all the time.

Wretched excuse for a comedy, featuring a nonstop barrage of flatulence gags, gay and lesbian jokes, groan-worthy one-liners and amateurish slapstick. Klutzy Los Angeles patrolman is hot on the case of a masked-by-a-bag criminal, a stand-up comedian whose M.O. is to work the room and then rob it. "Police Academy" wannabe isn't badly-made, and Murray Langston and Linda Blair have nice chemistry, but the toilet humor isn't all that funny because the comic timing is perpetually off. Gives the impression of a group of friends making a movie for their own amusement. The outtakes at the end provide the film with its only bright moments. NO STARS from ****

If you learn anything today, know that Linda Blair and Murray Langston, AKA The Unknown Comic, made two movies together: the romantic comedy Up Your Alley and this film, which takes Police Academy to an even filthier and more ridiculous level. Seriously: there's no way this movie could have been made in 2019.

Jackie Kong directed four movies: The Being, The Underachievers, Blood Diner and this one, all with Bill Osco. Osco started his career producing adult films and would go on to star in The Being under the name Rexx Coltrane before starting to direct his own projects, starting with the comedy special The Unknown Comedy Show, a vehicle for Langston. Seeing as how two of his directing efforts are The Art of Nude Bowling and Cat Fight Wrestling, you'll get an idea of where this film is heading.

Officer Melvin White (Langston) wants to be a stand-up comic, so to hide from his boss Captain Lewis (Billy Barty!),he becomes The Unknown Comic. At the very same time, a man with a paper bag over his head - and here I am assuming anyone in 2019 knows who The Unknown Comic is or what he looks like - is committing crimes.

Linda Blair comes in as Officer Sue Perman, who operates the switchboard for the police. Then there's comedian and perennial Presidential candidate Pat Paulsen as Melvin's partner, Officer Kent Lane. Pat Morita also shows up as a sexual assault victim and there's an ongoing joke with Sydney Lassick (Charlie from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) as a peeping tom.

Jack Riley, who played Bob Newhart's patient Elliot Carlin has graduated from patient to doctor, here playing Murray's therapist Dr. Zieglar. Throw in comedians Johnny Dark, Bill Kirchenbauer and Vic Dunlop, as well as Jaye P. Morgan, disc jockey Machine Gun Kelly (who is also in Roller Boogie and Voyage of the Rock Aliens) and an incredibly young Andrew Dice Clay.

There really isn't any story here, but you do get Billy Barty farting throughout the film and the heroes donning blackface to solve a crime. There's also a gay copy team, so this movie goes out of its way to offend nearly everyone. That said, it does have Linda punching a really obnoxious rich girl, which makes the movie.
