This really is a classic. I happen to like both kinds of comedy: clean and dirty. This is definitely the latter. But it is as clever as it is crude. And it has great cast with some equally great cameos: Andrew Dice Clay, Pat Morita, and Carl LaBove. It may be a little dated, but back in it's time it was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen - and I've seen a lot of movies.
A Classic! May 8, 2008

This movie is a classic! It uses every cliche' you can dream of and of course, Linda Blair is exquisite! It's a shame they don't make movies like this today. A must-see!

Night Patrol is a fun-filled lowbrow laugh riot. Great one-liners and a silly plot surrounding the Unknown Comic. Linda Blair seems out of place here but when her swimsuit scene pops up...boy oh boy. A great Saturday night film.
Hilarious and terrible November 10, 2006

Aficionados of USA Up All Night (during the Gilbert / Rhonda era) are sure to be delighted with this DVD. The gags are corny, and the comedy is pretty lowbrow. The acting is pedestrian, at best. The picture is grainy. The editing is like a train wreck. The story line is contrived. The soundtrack (read: one "song", and a bunch of 80's synth interludes) could make a sane person wish they were deaf.
Combine it all, and you have a masterpiece. Yes, this movie is as bad as you remember it, and seeing it uncensored (I'm pretty sure USA is the only channel that ever showed this movie) makes it even worse.
You shouldn't laugh at anything this movie contains, but you will. You'll try to resist, but you'll laugh, and you'll feel dirty for it. In my mind, that's the mark of a fine comedy.
