Review of D.C. Cab

D.C. Cab (1983)
10/10
As Matt Mepham would say, "You gotta make the RUUUNNNNNN!!"

QUANTA 666 said it best, Gary Busey deserves the life-time achievement award. This movie is his best by far. Busey plays cabbie Dell, who believes that the world will be run by black people and he'll be a "token white".

He works with a motley crew of cabbies, including Bill Maher, Mr. T, Dr. Jamaican, and the Barbarian Bros. Dell takes a new cabbie Albert (played by Adam Baldwin) under his wing to teach him the ropes, including how to get a fare from someone who won't pay.

There is nudity, not just cardboard as I once said. There is profanity, including a line about being a "white bread chicken #$@!" and other colorful phrases like "bend and flush".

This film is all over the place; it has humor, drama, action, and even a positive message towards teamwork and sacrifice. I recommend this movie highly. I give it a 9 out of 10. Just don't rent it on January the 8th, cause that's Elvis's birthday... uh huh huh....
