Needham's Department

Rating: Null/10 (3 March 1999)

After the success of Smokey and the Bandit, director Hal Needham tried to capitalize on Reynolds' great screen persona by casting him alongside a mix of singers, models, foot ballers and a James Bond in a silly car chase film. Say what you may about it, it works! It's a heck of a lot of fun and the cast is enjoying themselves through the entire film. The outakes are quite amusing as in DeLuise's campy role as "Captain Chaos." It's an entertaining film for anyone that enjoys fast cars, quick laughs and some pretty ladies. This kind of film is Needham's speciality and it works just fine.
