Don't feel bad, idk who the hell anybody is, I just like watching movies 😉

George Wendt played Fat Sam. James Avery who played Uncle Phil on Fresh Prince played the black cop with the moustache . Joe Don Baker who played the head policeman played Buford Pusser in Walking Tall back in the 70s . It's worth a watch too. Also Fletch 2 is worth a watch. Very entertaining review. Thank you for doing it for us Ashleigh. I know you don't hear it enough.

George Wendt appears on screen and you say nothing. Joe Don Baker appears "Is that George Wendt?" LOL "What the hell do I know." indeed. Still, at least be respectful enough to recognize who you're paying tribute to. Thank you for watching Fletch, I needed the push to watch it myself.

The original Fletch books are a hoot. Good spy black comedy. There are seven or eight of them, almost all good.

The comedy is great but what makes the movie work is that it is played against a legitimate mystery thriller. The plot could have been played entirely straight as a film noir with Humphrey Bogart (who wasn't available) in the lead. I much prefer this sort of thing to a succession of jokes loosely held together with a thin plot. Yes, it was a complicated story but that is the way of good mysteries.

Now you should do Fletch Lives. Cleavon Little from Blazing Saddles is in it. Funny as hell!
