• Comedy Collection - Hot Shots/National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1/Spaceballs | DVD | (28/05/2007) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Hot Shots (Dir. Jim Abrahams 1991): Charlie Sheen Lloyd Bridges Cary Elwes Valeria Golino and Jon Cryer co-star in director Jim Abrahams' (Airplane Naked Gun) truly hilarious spoof of Top Gun. Recruited to join a top-secret mission for the Air Force a renegade pilot (Sheen) finds himself coping with an incompetent admiral (Bridges) and a carefully selected squadron of flyers who are either inept or half-blind. He also winds up in competition with the corps' model of military perfection (Elwes) for the heart of the base's sultry psychiatrist (Golino). Loaded Weapon (Dir. Gene Quintano 1993): Emilio Estevez and Samuel L. Jackson are Colt and Luger two dangerously over-the-edge detectives who uncover a despicable plot to simultaneously rot America's brains and teeth with drug-laced Wilderness Girl cookies. Aided by a likeable slimeball (Jon Lovitz) a leather-loving beauty (Kathy Ireland) they battle arch bad-dudes General Mortars (William Shatner) and Mr Jigsaw (Tim Curry) in a riotous crime-busting comedy romp featuring surprise cameos from more superstars than you can shake a .375 Magnum at. In the tradition of 'Hot Shots!' and 'Naked Gun' it's outlandishly off-beat and outrageously out-of-control as macho crime-action takes it in the shorts in... 'National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1'! Space Balls (Dir. Mel Brooks 1987): May the farce be with you in this hysterically funny space oddity created by comic genius Mel Brooks that will send you into hyperspace with fits of laughter! Lampooning everything from 'Star Wars' to 'Planet Of The Apes' and 'Alien' this is an outrageous send-up of epic sci-fi movies. Fearless and clueless space heroes Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his half-man/half-dog sidekick Barf (John Candy) wage interstellar warfare to free Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) from the evil clutches of Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis). On the way to the rescue in their Winnebago they confront the huge gooey Pizza The Hutt (voiced by Dom De Luise) sassy robot Dot Matrix (voiced by Joan Rivers) and a wise little creature named Yogurt (Mel Brooks) who teaches them the mystical power of 'The Schwartz' in order to bring peace - and merchandising rights - to the entire galaxy!

  Titles Comprise: Best in Show: The tension is unmistakable the excitement is mounting and the heady scent of competition is in the air at the prestigious Mayflower Dog Show. Director Christopher Guest takes a hilarious look at dog show participants (and the pooches who love them). Meet the contestants - a fly-fishing bloodhound owner (Guest) Shih-Tzu-doting partners squabbling yuppie lawyers a bimbo trophy wife and her poodle handler and a married couple who dream up little ditties about terriers - all fighting for the 'Best in Show' prize. From the creators of 'This Is Spinal Tap' director Christopher Guest presents Golden Globe Nominee Best Picture 'Best In Show' a barking mad mockumentary! Blazing Saddles: The railroad's got to run through the town of Rock Ridge. How do you drive out the townfolk in order to steal their land? Send in the toughest gang you've got...and name a new sheriff who'll last about 24 hours. But that's not really the plot of Blazing Saddles just the pretext. Once Mel Brooks' lunatic film many call his best gets started logic is lost in a blizzard of gags jokes quips puns howlers growlers and outrageous assaults upon good taste or any taste at all! Cleavon Little as the new lawman Gene Wilder as the wacko Waco Kid Brooks himself as a dimwitted politico and Madeline Kahn in her Marlene Dietrich send-up that earned an Academy Award nomination all give this sagebrush saga their lunatic best. And when Blazing Saddles can't contain itself at the finale it just proves the Old West will never be the same! Spies Like Us: They're double agents without a sneaking suspicion of their assignment. But if it has anything to do with comedy it's sure to be mission accomplished for Saturday Night Live alumni Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd romping through their first movie together. As two government desk jockeys who cheat their way through a civil-service entry exam and (incredibly) become globetrotting undercover operatives Aykroyd and Chase generate the verve and spontaneity of a Bob Hope/Bing Crosby road movie. (Indeed Hope turns up in a cameo golf club in hand.)
