Hot Stuff (1979, U.S.A.)

Beloved comedian Dom DeLuise stars in and directs this delightful caper spoof, co-written by legendary crime novelist Donald E. Westlake (The Hot Rock). A trio of Miami cops decides to set themselves up as fences in order to trap thieves. Needless to say, things start to go wrong and soon they’re on the run from both the crooks and their own police force! The cast is packed with great comic talent, including Suzanne Pleshette, Jerry Reed (who also sings the title song), Ossie Davis, Luis Avalos, Pat McCormick and veteran gangster actor Marc Lawrence ó not to mention Mrs. DeLuise (Carol Arthur, Blazing Saddles) and their sons Peter, David and Michael.
