'''Detective School Dropouts''' is a 1986 action-comedy co-starring and written by [[David Landsberg]] and [[Lorin Dreyfuss]] for [[The Cannon Group]]. Two bumbling private detectives get themselves hired to find a missing person. They quickly find themselves in the middle of a mob war that takes place between New York City and Rome, when it turns out that the missing person is somebody the mob wants to stay missing. The film was a box office flop, but has gained cult status in recent years. The film is currently out-of-print, with used video copies selling on [[Ebay]] and [[Amazon.com]] for as much as $50.00 USD. It is noted for it's low-budget production values, cheesy '80's synth soundtrack, and being the only film released from the Cannon Group to have lost money at the box office. However, it is also representative of '80 culture at the time when slapstick briefly resurfaced in popularity with American audiences. |
