“Armed and Dangerous” was not filmed to win Academy Awards, its purpose was entirely to allow the big man to generate laughter.
The two veterans of SCTV show their chemistry nicely and even though the film is a cookie-cutter example of a comedic buddy film, it made of the best possible ingredients.

 'Armed and Dangerous' Vs Spider-man II - The Superhero Hype! Boards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
I loved Molina's Ock.Loved him.He was great,visually stunning and very sinister when he was being the villain.But his Ock was not nearly as faithful as the Ock in 'Armed and dangerous'.
Locked in the cell with his arms spread out and not once did ock show any sign of a defeatist attitude, badass and plotting to the very end, ock is, as opposed to him being a good guy, redeeming himself and saving the city all the while suffering for it and drowning in a river.
It seems pretty clear in my mind that armed and dangerous does a far better portrayal of the characters in the spider-man franchise than spidey 2 does.

 Review: Armed & Dangerous - ComputerAndVideoGames.com
Armed And Dangerous has been developed as a console and PC game simultaneously, but we recommend playing with a mouse and keyboard.
Backing these humble foot soldiers up are their officers (armed with sub-machine guns and sometimes rocket launchers or jet-packs), battle droids, teleporting priests, gun emplacements and the occasional species of aggressive wildlife.
But Armed And Dangerous does just that, hoping that there are enough of us out there looking for an antidote to the uncountable number of po-faced RPGs, stern-looking shooters and earnest simulations.

 Armed and Dangerous
America's permissive attitude toward the international small arms trade is mirrored by a lack of regulation of the gun trade here at home.
GOOSE: This was the single most valuable source of information on US arms trade, especially in the less than major weapons systems, and was the most useful source for trying to demand accountability on the part of both the recipients and the on the US Government.
If you were not, you, your armed forces were not --your government was not selected by the people over which you rule, you have no right to American weaponry.

A weapons stockpile was argued to be normal for small-scale arms traders (which they were), and there are even records of Koresh asking BATF investigators to examine it for themselves.
Far from planning a raid on a dangerous group stockpiling weapons, the BATF is exposed as organising a public relations picture shoot.
As well as physically destroying much of the buildings, the tanks pumped in an aerosol consisting of CS powder, a chemical warfare agent that causes tearing, temporary blindness, nausea and vomiting, and methylene chloride, a toxic and volatile carrier that forms flammable mixtures when exposed to the air.

 DVD Times - Armed And Dangerous
John Candy doesn’t seem to have that defining film that everyone remembers — the one that proved him to be a comic great, but that’s no bad thing.
Slowly but surely Dooley and Kane begin to put the pieces to the puzzle, and it soon becomes apparent their bosses might be planning a rather large scale robbery and they are the only ones standing in their way.
Armed And Dangerous isn’t one of Candy’s most notable works, and while the team-up of Eugene Levy and Candy could have been better, this is still a film worth checking out.

Film and TV An informative documentary worth viewing is The God Who Wasn’t There by Brian Flemming (2005) DVD.
The historical recreation film Downfall (Der Untergang) of 2004 is a vivid but bleak account of the chaotic final days of Hitler and his staff and the insane behavior that inevitably emerges from an authority structure where allegiance is based on faith and unquestioning obedience.
A good indicator of a stereotypical nihilistic film or story is one where all or most of the main characters die at the end.

Her devoted mother (Lindsay Duncan) is dying of cancer and her brother (Kevin McKidd) is an investigative journalist supposedly on the point of becoming famous by exposing a doctor encouraging the terminally ill to join a suicide club in Switzerland.

Like the film, these extras come loaded with lots of bangs and bravado, but there's little of substance.
'Armed And Dangerous' briefly profiles the film's weaponry (the M4 assault rifle is "very cool looking"), while 'Behind Precinct Walls' explains how the set was created.
At around five minutes each these featurettes contain no great revelations, but they do make the point that the actors were very tough and brave, and often in great physical danger, which may come as news to the film's insurers.

 The Armchair Empire - Interviews: Armed & Dangerous Q and A with Aaron Loeb
Given the film's status - it was a landmark film for the computer graphics industry and inspired a generation of game developers - yes, it was very daunting to take on a game sequel to the film, but it also made a lot of sense.
I think Tron is a lot more relevant today than when the film first came out in the early 80s, when people used punch cards.
From an action standpoint, the lightcycles were a highlight of the film, so we felt it was absolutely essential to include in the game.

 The Sudden Curve: Armed and Dangerous Babe: Carrie Anne Moss
Not all Armed and Dangerous Babes are now in their 60’s.
However, Carrie Anne Moss may epitomize the archetype of the armed and dangerous babe because of her role as Trinity in the Matrix.
In any case, she is one very foxy babe (with plenty "M-appeal") whether she is armed or not, but armaments do seem to add allure.

An ensemble cast of unknowns struggles with war, terrorism, and tragedy in a film that unflinchingly affirms Jewish identity and doesn’t fear to confront Nazi and Pan-Arabist atrocities.
Villains (and victims of this film’s wicked satirical edge) include recognizable takes on Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Louis Farrakhan, but the enemy the two must struggle hardest to defeat is the government bureaucracy set up to ‘help’; their people.
One of the films receiving top honors this year is _Paradise Now_, which does show that suicide bombing is immoral, but not in the unambiguous terms that you seem to want.

While ugly and - given their weaponry, highly dangerous - the involvement of such individuals should not be exaggerated, says Associate Professor Andrew Moore, of the University of Western Sydney, a specialist in Australian right-wing politics.
The danger is that, fuelled by alcohol, equipped with the latest communications and inspired by right-wing groups in Europe, they can exploit, escalate and inflame community friction.

Armed and Dangerous is Eric Raymond's new blogspot weblog.
For it implies that all the wonders of our universe can in effect be captured by simple rules, yet it shows that there can be no way to know all the consequences of these rules, except in effect just to watch and see how they unfold.
I could go on, proving this is the silliest movie I have seen in years, but that's pointless.

 Armed, not dangerous (Seattle Weekly)
Arms and the Man, George Bernard Shaw's incisive romantic comedy, which opened last week at the Intiman, has a lot more than love going for it, but director Bartlett Sher's production is better with the sweet conventions of the genre than it is with the tart undertaste just beneath them.
Raina Petkoff (Margaret Welsh) is a naive, wealthy young woman in war-torn 19th-century Bulgaria, thrilled by the sound of gunshots and betrothed to puffed-up Maj. Sergius (Andrew Weems, hamming himself red in the face).
Armed, not dangerous — Shaw's Man goes soft.

I enjoyed the film a lot, and the detail of the visual recreation of the Napoleonic Royal Navy struck me as stunning, but it was still somewhat short of being a great film.
That said, given how many bad films I have seen this year, I thought it was well worth the five quid.
But that's actually my big misgiving about it as a film – it's far too much of a strung-together series of references for fans, doesn't really stand as a coherent work on its own.

The first film starred Sandra Bullock as Gracie Hart, a graceless FBI agent who infiltrated a beauty contest threatened by a terrorist.
The episodes with Gracie trading quips with Regis Philbin and publicizing her ghost-written best-seller are amusing enough, but then a kidnapping plot is introduced, and the movie starts to lose humor and perspective.
While the filmmakers set most of the film in Vegas, they do surprisingly little with the recent makeover of the city, which is clearly aching for a poet to chronicle the proliferation of elaborately faked landscapes.
