The film starts of with Courtney Love being in a chemist asking the man behind the counter for some drugs so her and her three friends can get high! Basically she gets the drugs and meets up with the other three back at her flat, the three get high and there is a homosexual living in the same block as these three friends, the homosexual try's to come on to the character who Kiefer Sutherland is playing and Keifers character kills this homosexual, He then goes to jail and meets up with his other friends later in the film. This film is ideal for anyone who is not against homosexuals because it has that sort of activity in it, its also ideal for people who like to watch true stories, its very different from any other film I have ever watch and has plenty of twists in it, do you know in some films when you watch them you can predict exactly what's going to happen? Well this one has a few surprises up its sleeves. Its about a messed up set of friends who like to party!

~Introduction~
*****************
The irrepressible Norman is back in arguably his funniest film.
~Synopsis~
***********
Norman is sick of being a parking attendant and dreams of following in his fathers footprints and become a police man. Unfortunately he fails the height test, not that that would be a problem today.
Dejected he starts going through his dad's old chest and guess what he finds? His fathers old police uniform, oh no.
He puts it on and goes for a stroll down the street, which as you can probably guess leads to huge mayhem, farcical whimsy and general madness.
Eventually after being caught impersonating a policeman some bright spark notices that he bears a striking resemblance to a nasty criminal that the police have been after for quite a while, Giulio Napolitani.
Now Norman must ...

One of his better films.
Normans wishes to emulate his father and join the police but he is too short and to be honest too thick!
He is looking through his poor departed fathers belongings one day and makes a snap decision to put on his old pa?s police uniform. Then even more silly he decides to go outside in it.
He is soon mixed up in all sorts of police business. He ends up getting tumbled and the chase is on.
A classic and iconic scene where Norman is on the run from about 500 policemen and to be honest does give them as run for their money.
This is only the beginning of the film and I will stop the plot reveals here.
This really is one of his best. Norman is superb and his brand of poor little me is well crafted by now. A very silly film but hilariously funny. The slapstick escalates to ...
Advantages: Not unspeakably boring the first time round Disadvantages: Far too easy, no repeatability, not very fun
Do you love music from all decades?? Think your trivia scope is something to be admired?? Want to impress your friends?? Would you like a fun-filled and raucous evening of shouting answers at a top notch DVD-based music quiz??
If so, do NOT buy this game.
My journey with this piece of excrement begins when I was introduced to Scene It?. The much loved movie trivia DVD quiz blew my mind. I just loved the concept. However, movies are really not my forte, so I failed miserably in the quest to win. Music, however, is my life.
I have a mind full of song lyrics and random useless facts regarding band line-ups, album tracks and producers that I seem to have amassed over the years. Needless to say, in a group of hardcore movie buffs, I wanted a game that I could enjoy and kick their collective asses at.
When I bought Beat The Intro ...
