Customer Rating: 
Summary: It is alright
Comment: I like watching some of these older films for bits and pieces of how life was viewed when it came out. The video was entertaining.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Absolutely hilarious.
Comment: I had never heard of this movie before it was released on VHS. I have no idea why it is so hard to find. This is the only DVD release I have ever found that is playable in the US.
Don't be afraid! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE MOVIE, WITHOUT ANY ALTERATIONS! IT IS PLAYABLE ON ANY STANDARD US DVD PLAYER! It is simply labled for sale in Korea.
This may be Dabney Coleman's best movie ever. Coleman plays Bert Simpson, a cop who's days from retirement and has just been told he's terminally ill. So now he's desperate to die in the line of duty so his family can have the insurance money. Matt Frewer does a great supporting role as Ernie(Bert and Ernie - hah!)the bewildered side-kick who's just as desperate to find out why his straight-laced, take-no-chances partner has gone on a suicidal rampage.
Bert also manages to rediscover why life is worth living, reinventing himself as a husband, father and friend along the way. This movie may not be considered one of Hollywood's shining moments, but it is definitely very good entertainment.

Summary: Dabney Coleman Shines !!
Comment: C'mon Movie Studio execs ........ "Can't you guys do anything right !!" Re-release this out on DVD PLEASE !! For "Dougie's" sake !!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Underappreciated Movie
Comment: I saw this back when it came out. It was part of a Double Feature, and I thought that I wouldn't enjoy it. I wasn't a Dabney Coleman fan, and thought to myself that I could sit through an hour and a half of "whatever." My perception about this movie was TOTALLY WRONG!
I loved it, and every time it comes on HBO or cable, I watch it. Dabney Coleman portrays a "short-timer" brilliantly and I became a fan of his after this movie. It is extremely funny and goes to show you that life is short, even though his really wasn't as short as he thought. It also went on showing me that don't judge a movie by who is in it.
Great Movie! Hurry and release it on DVD.
