Did you sleep through this comic masterpiece? It was chock full of cop-movie lampoonery. When the heavy guy asks London Cop Guy all of those questions that reference other cop movies ("did you ever blah-blah? Did you ever shoot blah-blah) that whole list of questions came true by the end of the movie. The rock music coming from Dalton's car radio always reflected the mayhem that just happened. The bad guys meet at night holding flashlights under their chins to illuminate their faces! Edward Woodward, "THe Equalizer" was in it! They dealt with the "Human Statue"! IT WAS BRILLIANT!!!! Even the GF, who is dismissive of any film that might be in the least bit "fun" or "enjoyable" (preferring "depressing" and "sullen" films) thought it was cute and watched nearly all of it.
It was finely crafted and had fencing in it. A perfect rental.

In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
