| | The Crew (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | Long past their '60s heyday, the four hole up in a retirement hotel in Miami, a Dantesque purgatory where they are punished for their previous vices: the horny Mouth has a prostate condition, the short-tempered Bats has a pacemaker, etc. It's hell for the viewer, too. |
 | | The Crew doesn't start cooking until it abandons all semblance of taste and Reynolds farts or the four quail at the prospect of shooting a corpse because it looks even older than themselves. |
 | | The latter is a ploy to scare their landlord into extending their lease, and the inadvertent results include a gang war, a kidnapping, gratuitous parodies of Scorsese, Coppola, and De Palma, and, for the warmhearted, a father-and-child reunion. |
