Die Lethal

Imagine an 80s action movie, directed by Abrahams, Zucker and Zucker, starring Leslie Nielsen and the Wayans brothers, and you might get a glimpse of the type of story you have in store.
With the main framework of Lethal Weapon and Die Hard, this escalates to include reference upon reference upon reference of movies you will (or at least should) know. And if you’re wondering about Wicksy, you’re probably not too far off.
I have read a few spoofs in my time, but I can safely say that this book is the closest thing I’ve found to matching the jokes of AIRPLANE, in both amount and hilarity. Not sure how many of these jokes will fly over the head of younger readers � simply because they probably wouldn’t have seen some of these movies � but I still think it was done well enough for them to enjoy.
If you don’t like spoofs or parodies, you’ll do well to avoid this one. But if you enjoy this type of thing, you need this book in your life.
