Look at the star. Look at the director. See something else.

It's bad, it's been forgotten, and we can all move on with nary a second thought.

This expensively empty action comedy is as much fun as a car crash.
It's harmless fun with a breezy '80s ambiance -- a neon playground with a cross-eyed soundtrack, smoky widescreen cinematography, and a cool snapshot of Dice when he was king of the world.
Isn't for every taste, but those tuned into Clay's goofy personality are rewarded with a hilarious performance that finds the comedian at his most confidant and playfully mischievous.
Gets stale after a while, but Dice was still pretty funny.

As vulgar and obnoxious as its star. One of the very worst films of 1990.

Surprisingly funny and expectedly rude, this first starring vehicle by vilified standup comic Andrew Dice Clay has a decidedly lowbrow humor that is a sort of modern equivalent of that of the Three Stooges.
