Right off the bat, "D.C. Cab" from 1983 has always been one of my favorite comedies and movies in general. It has an AWESOME cast....the main star of the movie is Adam Baldwin, despite what the poster may say about Mr. T. (He has a big role, too, don't worry) It co-stars Max Gail, Charlie Barnett, Gary Busey, Paul Rodriguez, and Jill Schoelen.
The movie has no plot. It is just fun watching all of these hilarious comedians and actors have fun with their roles, and get into all the crazy tactics that they do. Gary Busey is awesome as Dell, who utters some of the best one-liners in movie history in this movie. Mr T is great in the movie, he has a pretty large role. Of course, they do squeeze in a motivational speech about pride and all of that given by Mr T, however, it's Mr T, so you gotta love it! The soundtrack consists of various soul, funk, disco, & pop songs of 1983 that fit along perfectly with the movies tone.
Irene Cara makes a cameo as herself in one short scene, as well as performing the theme song for the movie entitled, "The Dream."
This movie is packed with non-stop fun and laughs, no doubt if you like comedies or you laugh easily, you're going to love this one! It has always been one of my top favorites.
9/10
