Move over Lethal Weapon, Die Hard and Beverly Hills Cop

The greatest piece of action film ever created.

Drama! Comedy! Suspense! And of course action action action! If you've ever wanted to see why a meat cleaver in the head can be funny, this is the movie for you.

It's so dense...

How do i start reviewing this movie... Well, first by telling you it's not a movie, it's an EXPERIENCE. Every scene is so dense, it has so many things going on at the same time that sometime it's even hard to follow the roller-coaster of emotions, that feels familiar to a Tums festival, that is happening on the screen. The reenactments are the key to all of this, they are the funniest scene that we have ever had in the history of movie making.But at the same time you pay a heavy price for laughing, because right after you laugh you are shown a real- life picture of a dead cop and you feel guilty for ever taking pleasure in that scene. The best way to enjoy this movie is by gathering all your friends(chances are they are imaginary) and drinking as much Dan Aykroyd vodka™ as possible while enjoying Surviving Edged Weapons.

How many edged weapons do you see in this review?
TheRealZam6 September 2022
Not sure if I am worthy to even submit a review, but I can try... You will spend 85 minutes on the edge of your seat. You will laugh. You will cry. You will avert your eyes at the gruesome depiction of real life injuries. You will never look at a baseball cap the same way again. You will think twice about getting within 50 ft of another human being again. You will cheer for these heroes in blue. But most of all, you will not regret watching a single second of this masterpiece.

This documentary makes me wish I was a 6 yo cop in Milwaukee in 1988. I can dream, but be weary, as it may contain an edged weapon!
