As with any other anthology film there are strong, weak, and some passable. The best segment is Fistful of Yen with Evan Kim doing a spot on impersonation of Bruce Lee in a very funny parody of Enter the Dragon. Everything else pales by comparison. Even the underwhelming segments are mildly amusing and are usually brief enough that they are over before they get annoying. We can see here the beginnings of Airplane, The Naked Gun series, and Top Secret! The jokes come fast and furious with no time to register them before the next one hits. John Landis was a good choice for director and he keeps the humour from sinking too deeply in the mud. It's a goofy film that's a lot of fun, flaws and all.
