Bulletproof (1996)

[Roonami 11]

I think this is kind of a forgotten "gem" in the Adam Sandler world now that he's cranking out terrible movies all day long for Netflix.

 

Adam Sandler plays a drug smuggler and his best friend is Damon Wayans, and he finds out during a drug shipment that Damon Wayans is a cop who is trying to take down Adam Sandler's boss (played by James Caan). Adam Sandler tries to escape and somehow accidentally shoots Damon Wayans in the head -- but Damon Wayans is all fine basically in no time at all, makes a full recovery and tracks down Adam Sandler to escort him across country to James Caan's trial.

 

A corny and predictable beginning and then full on ludicrous story to the end, full of terrible comedic timing and stale jokes whenever someone gets killed.

 

Oh and then unforgettable scenes like:

 

 

Does this podcast not do Adam Sandler movies as a general rule? Is he a good friend? Seems like they could do plenty of episodes with his career just like Cage and Stallone.

I am a little surprised they havent covered any of Sandlers films, especially after they called that audible on the Blended trailer. The Cobbler is another one that comes to mind that they absolutely need to cover at some point.

Blended. Jack and Jill. Ridiculous 6. Just Go With It. We could basically have the Year of Sandler with this podcast.

I think this movie is what introduced me to the concept that movies starring people I otherwise enjoyed could be fucking awful. Its absolutely absurd that they opted to have someone as funny as Damon Wayans playing a completely humorless role.
