Often, in discussions about old movies, someone will say, “That movie couldn’t be made today.”, and inevitably someone else will disagree.

      Honestly, I didn’t care for it.

      Went into it expecting Airplane-type humor and was sort of let down. I think I might have been born just past the cut off for the age demo where the jokes land, as well as for The Jerk, which I was shocked to find I didn’t laugh even once at the first time I finally put it on despite being a fan of most Steve Martin stuff. Oh well.

      “Rex Kramer, danger seeker.”

      And the whole kung fu sequence (about half the film).

      Yeah this wouldnt go over well. But it’s hilarious as a time capsule.
