We loved the movie when it was on tv. I did not realize there was nudity in it though. I wish it was not there because I do not want my granddaughter watching it now.

I think this would be one of those movies that receive the 89's cheese award. However it's one of my favorite movies. I love those zany madcap humorous movies. This movie stars Adam Baldwin (Independence Day and no relation to the Baldwin brothers), Max Gail (Barney Miller), Gary Busey, Mr. T, Irene Cara (she has a cameo as well two songs that she sings on the soundtrack), Marsha Warfield (Night Court), Paul Radriguez,Bill Maher and the Barbarian Brothers (David and Peter Paul).
The movie takes place at a taxi cab company in Washington D.C. They are pitted against a rival taxi company called Emerald. D.C. Cab is owned and operated by Harold (Gail) and things aren't going right. They are on the verge of closing down and loosing this drivers. Out comes Adam Baldwin who's father served with Harold in the Veitnam War. Albert (Baldwin) has always wanted to be a cab driver and looks to Harold to guide him. What leads up to Alberts arrival is madcap humor and hijinks on the road and at the D.C. Cab company. Dell (Busey) blows his windows in his cab showing Albert his new sound system, Mr. T. trying to fight drug dealers (he suspects) and tried to get his neice to steer clear of the "nice har" the "drug dealers" often show on the corner of a street. 'It's the car, Albert, It's the car," Mr. T's character Samson replies angrily.
As D.C. Cab is on the verge of shutting down (Harold's wife Myrna collects the reward money for helself because she found and returned a priceless violin that had been missing. Albert uses his life savings to rescue the company complete with new cars, repainted building, and a remodeling and updating the interior as well. Oh and lets not forget the snazzy jackets and airport licenses that Emerald has. Trouble ensues when Albert is taken hostage and Harold tries to round up the troops to make a bold rescue. With his zanny cohorts help?
For anyone who likes comedies then this is a nice addition to your DVD library. The DVD includes Dolby Digital and that's about it. Anyone who is a 80's film nut (like me), it's a must have as well.

80's flick with cheesy comedy, but fun overall.

Another great 80's movie, this time with Mr. T! It's cheesy, but the characters are fun, the comedy really works and it's got some great moments in it like the flame thrower, the game with the masks, etc.
