Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk

In 1987 moviegoers had yet to be crushed under the weight of the 1990s TV remake mania, and Dragnet comes off as fresh and funny. The line between parody and tribute can be hard to draw, but any marginally hip baby boomer who has ever watched Jack Webb's straight-laced Detective Joe Friday caught a glimmer of the comedic vein waiting to be mined beneath Dragnet's gritty Los Angeles streets. Dan Aykroyd plays Joe Friday, the straight-arrow nephew of Webb's iconic cop. This part was made for him (in fact, he's given top writing credit), and under his steely exterior you can tell he's having a ball delivering those rapid-fire recitations of regulations and deadpan expressions of moral outrage. Tom Hanks plays Pep Streebek, the laissez-faire narco agent who is Friday's new partner. Their assignment: bust the Pagans, a wild-and-woolly gang of dope fiends, deadbeats, and beatniks behind a bewildering array of bizarre robberies. Hilarity ensues. Friday and Streebek outfox a corrupt televangelist (Christopher Plummer), bicker over chili dogs and cigarettes, alternately revile and fawn over a porn millionaire (Dabney Coleman), wrestle a 30-foot-long anaconda, and rescue the virgin Connie Swail--the only girl capable of stealing Friday's heart. --Grant Balfour, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic..... 29 Jan 2006
Format:DVD
From the moment the opening titles kick in with the catchy Art of Noise Dragnet Theme in full remix you know you are in 80s movie heaven. I personally only get the same feeling everytime I watch Beverley Hills Cop and with both films you can keep going back time after time after time.

The comic genious of the two lead actors at the time makes for really good viewing and their work relationship will be familiar to many of us.

Buy this and you wont be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dragnet - Sheer quality 15 Jan 2004
By Ash VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
This has to be one of the best cop comedies ever, including the many new ones. Dan Aykroyd plays the cop who follows the rules whilst Tom Hanks is the cop who breaks the rules but gets things done. It is a brilliant comedy and which has both Aykroyd and Hanks at their comic best. It may be a cliche but they don't make films like this any more, it has comedy similar to that of most of Aykroyd and Hank's early stuff like the Ghost Busters and Big. The DVD very short of extras, besides the usual scene selection and menu, it only actually has - Production Notes, Filmographies, Trailer, and Web Link, but the film itself is well worth having in your collection if you are a fan of either actor or comedy in general.

2 cops - one straight laced, the other a lout - are called in to bring down a new terror: P.A.G.A.N, a religious nutcase organisation threatening to take over. Cue some of the best comedy you will ever see - Dan Akroyd is superb and Tom Hanks is at his funniest (you know, the time before he started winning too many awards) All in all, a masterpiece that deserves to be in everyone's collection

Dan Aykroyd writes and stars in a big screen version of "Dragnet" that falls somewhere between a tribute and a satire of the original series. Read more
