In a fun reversal, sammy davis is salt, and lawford is pepper! They even make that joke right in the first five minutes. The guys run a night club in london, with exotic dancers. When someone dies in their establishment, the coppers are all over them. Someone keeps dumping dead bodies there, and tipping off the cops. And the dead bodies are british intelligence! Sort of a spy thriller parody here; salt even buys a tiny, outrageous bright yellow car, which has gadgets built in to stop cars from following them. There's a fun sense of adventure all the way through... even salt and pepper aren't really taking this seriously. Keep an eye out for graham stark.. he was the silly waiter in victor victoria! Here, he's the inept copper who can never seem to catch the guys committing any crimes. It's clever! Even some fun wordplay, if you really pay attention. Not to mention some race jokes, but they pick on just about every race. Silly but fun. Directed by richard donner. Also directed superman and lethal weapon! Story by michael pertwee.
