Don't anybody get me wrong! This movie is one of the funniest, wildest movies I've seen in my life. And it is a classic with a capital C! Robert Hays of "Airplane" (1980) goes from an idiot who can't fly a plane to a tough but reasonable head brewery chief in "Take This Job And Shove It". And can he get the women here in this movie. Whoo! Barbara Hershey is the hottie to watch for. Lord, if I was Robert Hays' character, I'd be drooling like a hungry wolf over her. She was hot! Of course, the highlights of this movie are the music, the barroom scene where all the gang is playing football with a roll of toilet paper, and a couple of "giving the finger" scenes that when aired for network TV, are cruelly chopped out, yet I thought were quite funny at best.
David Keith plays the arrogant Harry, who really turns out to be a decent guy toward the film's end.
Tim Thomerson is the wild and smart-aleck country boy from hell Ray. The man drinks more beer and has a mean streak in him that sure can't be dealt with.
Art Carney does a fine job as Mr. Pickett, head of the beer company that Robert Hays is owner of the brewery. He's packed on a few pounds since his "Honeymooners" days, but you need not bother! Eddie Albert rounds out the cast in my opinion as the overbearing egotistical Mr. Ellison, who always wants something, including coffee. He is a big contrast from his days on "Green Acres" here. It makes one think if Arnold The Pig could handle such a domineering old fart like Ellison here.
Altogether, this is a great movie. Despite what anyone else would say, you can't turn down an offer to watch this movie, or would you just say "Take This Movie And Shove It"? I would say "Take This Movie And Watch It" and hopefully, you'll love it!
I sure watched it! And I loved it! (I still love it!)

I saw this movie three times in the theater with a buddy of mine when we were still in high school. Yes, Three Times! And it got better each time I saw it. Before too long, I could recite every line spoken by Bruce Willis in the movie because at one point, Willis was my hero. I even copied his hairstyle and mannerisms, without getting busted, of course. This movie had more action and humor in it for the time. Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans were a poor man's version of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover of the "Lethal Weapon" saga. And nothing could stop these guys to be the heroes of the moment! To me, I found "The Last Boy Scout" an excellent, Hilario's adventure from start to finish. In fact, I loved it so much the first time, I refused to take a bathroom break during the final 30 minutes of the film because I feared I would miss a great action scene or so. What's missing about "The Last Boy Scout", sadly to tell you, is a sequel. I hoped and prayed that it would come to be in the future. But it never materialized or any news came through. A real bummer because the ending left the door wide open for a "Last Boy Scout Part 2". But I definitely do not want a sequel with different actors playing Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans' roles should there be one. These guys kicked Major League Ass! You Can't Miss This One By Any Means, Buddy!
My fiancée and I saw this movie opening weekend and loved it! We had already seen the 1989 Dolph Lundgren version and thought it was a big piece of crap! Thomas Jane played Frank Castle the way The Punisher should be, skull logo on his outfit and everything! Not to mention a tougher-than-tough one-man revenge team out to avenge the death of his entire family, armed with so many weapons even Rambo would look like a wuss in the jungle! John Travolta was cold-hearted as Howard Saint. Very cold-hearted! You'd think he was acting like someone had killed all the Sweathogs in a massacre, he was so mean-looking. Yet I praised his performance, too! Of course, what really makes me and my friends laugh today was what my fiancée said about Thomas Jane the moment she saw him as The Punisher that he had abs, all I had was flabs. And every time she sees this movie (she has it on DVD), my fiancée just adores Thomas Jane beyond my belief! You know, it's a darn shame Thomas Jane won't be in "Punisher 2". Instead Ray Stevenson will be in the movie. I really was looking forward to Thomas Jane playing The Punisher again! Anyway, terrific Marvel movie. Should Not Be Missed Nor Bashed!
