Burglar – Die diebische Elster (1987)

Burglar – Die diebische Elster: Directed by Hugh Wilson. With Whoopi Goldberg, Bobcat Goldthwait, G.W. Bailey, Lesley Ann Warren. A retired cop blackmails ex burglar Bernice into paying him $20,000 – thus burgling. Paid to get a dentist’s jewelry back from her ex’s apartment, someone murders the ex and Bernice is a suspect. She investigates.

“Burglar is one of the movies on my top 50 funniest movie list. Unlike other reviews here, I rate it higher than Jumping Jack Flash. Perhaps its because this is a great movie for Bobcatu0026#39;s normally irritating character. Strange that there are no quotes for this movie! She and Bobcat have some truly great (although obscene) lines. Whoopieu0026#39;s scene in the closet while the soon-to-be-murdered character was screwing his ex-wife is hilarious. Bobcat has great scenes in the bar delivering a package, and later being interrogated John Goodman in the police station. The actors are all 2-dimensional but that only feeds the comedic aspects of the interaction of the stereotypes. The police-proofed apartment that Whoopie owns is a scream.”
