At this point in the series I can’t understand how these movies still had an audience. The acting seems to be geared towards children, there’s zero nudity anymore, the stories are dumb as shit, the characters are all soulless caricatures, the photography is bland and worst of all is none of it is even remotely funny! For example: everywhere that Callahan goes (the gym, jogging, on patrol) there's a group of leering cavemen staring her down, following her and offering to fuck. Like how is that even remotely funny? Haha, implied sexual assault, that’s what people want to see in a comedy! I was also confused as to why Tackleberry had to drive a monster truck during a chase scene? Like he was literally running over people’s cars! Are the people still in the cars? Even if they manage to get out, you’re still crushing people’s whips in order to catch a thief. The lawsuits that resulted from that must have been astronomical! “Yes, Your Honor, I know I crushed seven people to death, including two infants, and a dog, but I was chasing a dude who stole a fur coat.”
Anyway, dumb story, weak acting, that one dude still making annoying noises (and still not funny), two newspapers with the same sentences in them, a movie theater with a poster for 1979's HOT STUFF, the same old jokes (that were barely even funny in the first film) still being recycled, one dude running so fast that his shoes started smoking, Proctor still hanging around being irritating.
When I started reviewing this series I was excited, but while I’m still curious about them, this shit is getting tedious. Like how could something so unfunny keep getting made?
