An outrageous, fun, and very funny spoof of cop movies. Some may say it's like Police Academy, but I'd say it's more like Police Academy meets Airplane!, as it combines the styles.

This 1984 crude comedy was meant as a vehicle of comedian Murray Langston a.k.a. The Unknown Comic, but sank to nowhere upon its initial release. It gained a steady cult following on the drive in theater of the 1980's: late night cable TV. The story is about Langston moonlighting from his police job by being a comic with a paper bag on his head.
