Dragnet Movie

The story you are about to see is true.

The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

The Dragnet movie is hilarious and is a fun step back in time.

This movie was released in 1987, and it’s based loosely on a series that keeps coming back.

Dragnet began as a radio show in the 1940’s and became a TV series in the 1950’s.

After taking a break, it came back as a new series in the late 1960’s.

I remember watching reruns of that show, when I was growing up.

After this movie was released, there were two more Dragnet series on TV.

The movie features two big stars from the 80’s, Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks, and it has a distinctly 80’s feel to it.

They’ve kept some of the basics from the earlier shows, and have added a whole lot of laughs.

The original shows were serious, with some corny jokes thrown in.

This time around the comedy is the center of it all.

These two actors play their parts well, and their interactions are perfect for the buddy cop genre.

It had been years since I had seen this film, and it still felt familiar.

Movie Synopsis

This is the city … and only Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks can save it in this hilarious box-office blockbuster that pays homage to the famed original police dramas of the 50’s and 60’s.

Aykroyd is at his comedic best as the namesake nephew of Detective Sgt. Joe Friday.

Like his uncle, he’s a blue-suited, by-the-rules cop who reluctantly joins forces with his footloose partner Pep Streebek (Hanks) to rescue the City of Angels from the machinations of a power-mad Reverend and corrupt Police Commissioners.

And those are “just the facts”, of this hysterically funny action-comedy!

    I remember watching this program years ago and enjoyed it a lot. This would be great to win.

    Thanks for the chance to win! Excited to see this! I loved the old Dragnet show when I was little.

    Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks are a comedy dream team. I would love for Tom Hanks to get back to doing comedies. This is one of my family’s favorite ‘80’s movies. I wish there’d been a sequel because the ensemble cast has so much potential to do more together!

    This was interesting to read about in the review; Dragnet began as a radio show in the 1940’s and became a TV series in the 1950’s. After taking a break, it came back as a new series in the late 1960’s. I remember watching reruns of that show, when I was growing up. After this movie was released, there were two more Dragnet series on TV.

    I grew up watching Dragnet with my father and just the name brings back fond memories. I would definitely like to have this in my library.

  24. Marilyn Nawara says

    I don’t think I saw this movie. I remember the original Dragnet in the 60s — my dad watched it every night after dinner.

  31. Dave L says

    Wow, I had forgotten all about this movie! I saw it when it first came out and vaguely remember enjoying it. It would be great to see it again on Blu-ray. Thank you for the chance to win.

  34. Joseph Stowell says

    Dan Aykroyd was great as Sgt. Joe Friday. He definitely channeled Jack Webb. Thanks for the giveaway.

  36. Bernie Wallace says

    I saw this in theaters many years ago with my aunt. I think alot of the humor went over my head. I would love to watch it again someday.

    I haven’t seen this yet but grew up watching the series on television. I look forward to seeing this.
