robert aldrich be one of the great director of all time and of the film i have see he produce two stone cold all time classic and kiss me deadly and ulzana raid and one of my favourite guilty pleasures the dirty dozen and as well a highly notable cult film such a the killing of sister george and whatever happen to baby jane and and i be sure many others i haven not see . he be a prolific director note for be able to film to a high standard in different genre and style and defy the auteur theory of current popularity . quite how then he create such an incredibly offensive movie then be a matter to ponder over and only worth consider because of the director fame . the film focus on a group of puerile and violent and immoral patrol officer and their antic . once a week they take over the local park for drunken hilarity and and shoot at duck . choir practice a they call it . it be hard to think of a more dislikeable bunch . we have uber redneck officer roscoe rule who enjoy beat up homosexual while officer spermwhale whalen whose hobby be to continually question authority and undermine his department and and generally spread bad vibe while officer ball hadley and and his good lady and officer no ball hadley and the continuous butt of sexual harassment and discrimination while sergeant scuzzi ( play by burt young of rocky fame ) an unkempt unwashed slob from vice who everyone think be the precinct janitor while officer francis tanaguchi and the squad pet gook . etc . these guy be more interested in play prank on their superior and start fight with greaser than in protect and serve . what be astonish be that apparently the portrayal of this scurvy bunch be actually realistic of police behaviour of the time . some people think that this redeem the movie and i would suggest however that the treatment of these officer be far too sympathetic . we be supposedly mean to rejoice at the end when all officer involve in the shooting of an innocent gay teenager receive slap on the wrist . the treatment of homosexual a simpering and lisping queen be incredibly offensive and particularly the gentleman in the park walk a pink poodle and savour an encounter with a naked man tie to a tree . another reviewer claim that you can not expect much more off of a bunch of vietnam vet with only high school diploma and my goodness have ideal sink so low . i remember a scene in the film electra glide in blue when a vietnam vet who be a highway patrolman give a perp who be also a vet advice that he couldn not use his service record a an excuse to drop out and behave badly . there be much well moral authority from that movie . no one need an excuse for failure and and definitely the officer in this movie have none . i think the film promote a stereotypical view of sadomasochism and vice in general and and because it be apologist and even sympathetic in it approach to the immorality and more importantly extreme irresponsibility of the police officer and i would call it a truly fascist movie .
