I watched this last night, hadn't seen it in years. I'd forgotten a few scenes that I'd not realised were in there since I was a kid going through... ahem... puberty.
You know the ones... 😋
It's still a great movie, still made me chuckle.
Might watch another 80's classic with #DanAkroyd tonight. #Dragnet
