Best Defense (1984)
Stel: je bent bezig met het bouwen van de ultieme oorlogstank/het ultieme oorlogswapen. Dan kom je erachter dat Dudley Moore betrokken is bij het ontwerp van het raketgeleidingssysteem. Daar word je toch behoorlijk zenuwachtig van. Als vervolgens blijkt dat Eddie Murphy de tank in de praktijk gaat testen, kun je maar beter maken dat je wegkomt. Gelukkig zijn Moore en Murphy geen bekenden voor de Amerikaanse regering en Dynatechnics Incorporated. Beide komieken slaan volledig door in deze hilarische, hightech film. Wat moet doorgaan voor moderne oorlogsvoering lijkt eerder op een historische slag.
