Dragnet

ドラグネット・正義一直線
ロサンゼルス市警察の勤勉な刑事ジョー・フライデーは、自分とは正反対に若くて軽いノリのペップを相棒に付けられる。2人は互いに反目し合いながらも、最近頻発している、「ペガン」なる教団による不可解な連続強盗事件を追う。
Saw this one in cinema, because when Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks team up to spoof a stone faced TV cop show, you don’t wait for VHS.
Aykroyd plays Sgt. Joe Friday, nephew of the original, delivering deadpan lines with surgical precision.
Hanks is Pep Streebeck, the loose cannon partner who thinks rules are optional.
Together, they investigate stolen zoo animals, missing porn mags and a pagan cult called P.A.G.A.N. that’s somehow tied to city corruption. Christopher Plummer plays Reverend Whirley with sinister charm and Dabney Coleman lisps his way through smut kingpin territory.
The plot is bonkers, the tone swings between parody and genuine cop drama and the one liners come fast.
The soundtrack slaps, the pacing is brisk and the whole thing feels like a love letter to procedural TV, with just enough absurdity to keep it fresh.
I liked the impersonation, the cult nonsense and the way it made cinema nights feel goofy, satirical and slightly unhinged, with goat rituals, badge flashing bravado and a finale that’s pure 80's chaos.
