Carl Taylor (Charlie Sheen) and James St. James (Emilio Estevez) are garbage men who dream of bigger things. One night, after their usual bickering about what is to come in their lives, they witness, what they believe to be an intruder in an apartment across the road. Carl decides to shoot the intruder with his pellet gun in order to deter him. Eventually shrugging off James? protestations, Carl shoots the intruder and they both duck for cover beneath the window. Unbeknown to them, while they are hiding, two more intruders enter the room, strangle the guy who Carl shot with the pellet gun and make off with the body. Believing all is well, Carl and James return to work the next day only to find the man?s body in a metal container on their garbage route. Carl is worried that he killed the man, while Louis (Keith David), sent on their garbage run to keep them in check, informs him that the man is a leading Mayor candidate so they strangely decide to hang on to the body until they can figure out what to do. The plot is a little convoluted, as it is easy to see that the idea for the film came from a simple set-up of which comedy could ensue, and then the fleshing out of the story has left a bit too much going on. Estevez who writes, directs and stars in this movie shows his directorial immaturity as he breezes through the plot leaving a few holes here and there, while his script doesn?t maintain the supporting characters with any depth, as they become clichéd caricatures. The film was obscure at the beginning and it ends in the same vain. It is almost as if Estevez knew exactly what he was doing in the middle of the film, yet he was asleep during the making of the start and the end.

an amusing little flick that is only good really cos of the sheen brothers.they work well of each other and do produce some funny moments.its very cheesey and predictable..the plot is sooo daft,almost like a cartoon lol but there are'nt many flicks out there about trashmen right? the beginning is the better half of the movie...the sheen boys fighting against the other rival pair of trashmen is the funniest.

MCT:September 22, 2007Notable for being 'another' movie featuring the line, "It's a shame when folks be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that."

This is a typical 80's movie. Kind of predictable. I liked it though. I saw it a LONG time ago when I was a kid. It was good seeing Emilio and Charlie together. Emilio directed this one and I think wrote it! Its a good movie. Just kinda bad humor. AND VERY PREDICTABLE. I did laugh at some parts.

Haven't seen this one in ages, but I did have a copy of it on VHS that I recorded off the movie channel, so I must've liked it.

a really under appreciated comedy, the two real life brothers play best friend garbage men involved in a political assassination/environmental dumping scandal that results in all sorts of craziness, its really pretty fun considering that neither is known for comedic acting

It may have been panned, but I loved this movie. Not side-splittingly funny, but full of great scenes and quotes.

I remeber thinking this was hysterically funny when I was a kid. Even though now I should know better, it holds a special place in my heart.

Charlie sheen and the mighty ducks man emilio play garbage men who find a dead body in a garbage can and get involved in a crazy adventure. I was only going to watch it for a bit but it was really funny so i ended up watching the whole thing.

This movie is hardly known but it is an absolute comedy classic. Sheen and Estevez team up as a pair of binmen with bigger dreams. The movie has a 'token' black boss (are all bosses in america black? especially police chiefs). A black man accompanies them, with one of the best comedy performances i've ever seen. "There are several sacred things in this world that you don't ever mess with. One of them happens to be another mans' fries. Now you remember that, and you'll live a long and healthy life."

These are the kinds of movies they need to play on TV--instead of the same ones over and over again...

Quite self knowing, the film works because it doesn't even begin to take itself seriously. The stroyline is in no way complicated and the partnership between the two leads is cheesey but effective.

Old fun movie with Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez. The both work as garbage men and one day they find a dead man in the garbage. Now they must a find a solution to this and its getting more and more problem all the time. Funny comedy and worth seeing.
