It's like 'Dirty Harry' except nothing happens.

John 'The Duke' Wayne is a police lieutenant determined to track down the gang of drug-dealers responsible for the murder of two other officers. An obvious attempt to cash in on the success of another cowboy hero, turned vigilante-cop, this stale effort suffers from a bland script and disappointingly little action. Wayne does his best with what he's giving, but evidently he just wasn't that lucky.
They don't come much funnier. If you're a Baby Boomer, this is not to be missed. If you're not, you can laugh at their (our) expense. Jeff Bridges is great, but John Goodman's performance is out there in a category with the geniuses of modern off-beat comedy.
This has got to be one of the best comedy's ever. Most of the jokes still carry thru to today, and the ones that don't, you'll still "get". Great movie that has past the test of time.
Excellent anti-hero comedy about a deadbeat beer-league bowler pothead trying to find a kidnapped nympho trophy wife and his stolen rug--in the parlance of our times.
Has aged pretty well; the writing is crisp and funny, and Kahn is great (Lily, Lily, Lily). Don't watch the edited version on AMC/TV though, the dialogue needs to be intact.
