#4 We should have been making good vigerous fun of these Islamic fanatics years ago.
But I'm afraid Mainstream Hollywood would much rather re-fight old fights, or make a movie based on a 70's teevee show that wasn't very funny anyway.

#6 The problem with NatLamp movies is that most of them move too slowly. The Zuckers ("Airplane") realized that the best comedies use a high volume of fast gags, so that when a joke falls flat it gets lost in the shuffle.

For instance, imagine if the chief terrorist had been played for gags, even as silly as having him cast so he looks like Anton LaVey, speaks with a Bela Legosi accent, wears a shiny silk turban and a silver scimitar, etc. At times they could show him having a ham sandwich and drinking a bottle of Mogen-David kosher wine.

And the two college boys are way too normal.

The scene where one is making a crude remark to the two girls just wasn't funny. The pacing was sluggish, and she punched him. Nothing unexpected or even sight gag. All sorts of comic possibilities were ignored there.

I don't think their writers were even up to Pauly Shore standards.
