This only has one music cue and uses the "PSYCH! THEY WERE DAYDREAMING!" gag like 15 times. I imagine the scene where Schneider and Biehn talk about how easy it was to kill someone and how easy it would be to do it again is what Landis's internal monologue has been since 1982. Kinski's American accent is a goddamn disaster.

Throughout some of the major duds that John Landis has ever made,this truly poor attempt at comedy is his absolute worst as it not only contains a terrible storyline(everything going wrong when a woman hires hitmen to attempt to murder her husband) and completely no laughs(which includes a tasteless and pointless scenes of two Asian kids crying while hearing oncoming helicopters[reminding the viewers of TWILIGHT ZONE:THE MOVIE tragedy{that nearly destroyed Landis' career}]) but it also majorly wastes a decent name cast in the likes of Nastassja KInski,Michael Biehn,Dan Ackroyd,Rob Schneider,Billy Zane,Lara Flynn Boyle,Bill Duke,Sheree North,Joey Travolta,Thomas Haden Church,and Adrian Paul(as the doomed husband),as well as the quickly cameoing likes of Stuart Gordon,Danny Huston,and Adam Rfkin,and Jake Steinfeld(in all of their…

Was this even real? I got scared when I heard helicopters and there was an Asian child on screen.

a group of dumb rich people hatch an obviously stupid plan that they pursue in full view of authorities fully capable of stopping it but who do nothing. the climactic image of the film is a close up of an asian child screaming in terror as the sound of helicopter blades pound away directly above her. at least death proof was contrite, john landis is dabbing on us.

One of the more frustrating viewing experiences I've had lately. Every plot twist in the second act is instantly negated by having a character wake up and realize it was just a dream. This happens at least a dozen times and gets more infuriating with each occurrence. Now having seen the film, it's not hard to see why a John Landis production with this cast ended up being distributed by Full Moon.

How could the man resonsiple for The Blues Brothers, Trading Places and An American Werewolf in London be the same guy that made this? I guess he's also the same guy who made Beverly Hills Cop III and Blues Brothers 2000...
A waste of talent from acting to directing to producing and everything in between...
It does have Billy Zane in it though...

Susan? Like the woman? And she was making a plan. I’m just trying to understand here.

I can't believe they used farts for humour and it worked. This movie had me in snorts, it's stupid but I think it's meant to be ?
Hilarious, violent and just sexy enough that's it's great. -
... isn’t a very good one, all things considered.
A better movie than it is a plan, that’s for sure!
Not traditionally good, of course, but slapstick, comically violent, and delightfully deadpan. But I suspect only likely to be appreciated by those who can see through, past, or beyond the film’s narrative to understand the low-key LA-centric hang sesh (and paycheck) that it represents. It’s lazy, low-brow, and not particularly ambitious. It is, however, still occasionally - and genuinely - funny. Nothing new here, certainly, but this one nets out to that un certain regard category. 🤷🏻♂️

So deliberately rambling, so deliberately wrong, the basic Wilderian premise - a woman wants at all costs to get rid of her husband in order to then be able to live off insurance money - is disconnected and discontinuous, desecrated by the tropes and of the story itself, overwhelmed by a construction for sketches, set in a completely imploded world where any character is a sympathetic psychopath, and dreams have turned into nightmares. Dan Aykroyd's character is the most hilarious element of the movie.
