Dan Aykroyd, Tom Hanks, Christopher Plummer, Alexandra Paul, Harry Morgan and Dabney Coleman star in this 1987 action-comedy update of the TV series. This takes place in L.A. where we meet square cop, Joe Friday (Aykroyd) who is the nephew of his late uncle, Joe (Jack Webb). Soon, Joe meets new and wild partner, Pep Streebeck (Hanks) and they investigate a series of crimes committed by members of a cult known as P.A.G.A.N. (People Against Goodness And Normalcy. Plummer plays corrupt priest, Jonathan Whirley who is behind it, Paul (Christine) plays Connie Swail, a virgin Whirley tries to sacrifice, Morgan reprises his role as Bill Gannon who is now police captain and Coleman (9 to 5) plays Bait magazine mogul, Jerry Caesar who is basically like Playboy mogul, Hugh Hefner. Joe also finds romance with Connie while on the case. I've always liked this film and think it's underrated. Aykroyd & Hanks are great in it and together. I recommend this.
