Overview

The film was not successful at the box office, but subsequently gained cult film status. It is noted for its low-budget production values, cheesy '80's synth soundtrack, and being the only film released from the Cannon Group to have lost money at the box office. However, it is also representative of '80 culture at the time when slapstick briefly resurfaced in popularity with American audiences.

Detective School Drop Outs was released on DVD from MGM in October 2011.

gollark: Who DESIGNED this? Can we retroactively apioneutralize them?

gollark: Or at least until the card expires.

gollark: See, to make payments to a website or something, you need to give them about 19 digits of numbers which then allow them to arbitrarily take money out of your account forever.

gollark: Yes; complain all you want about cryptocurrencies but the existing payment system is moronically stupid.

gollark: I like them. They are somewhat good as a concept.
