Excuse Me, Is It Here They Beat Up People?

About This Movie

Excuse Me, Is It Here They Beat Up People? is a curious blend of action, comedy, and crime that captures the gritty essence of 1970s urban life. The plot revolves around a young guy drawn into the world of juvenile delinquency, weaving through the comedic mishaps and tense moments of his undercover assignment. There’s a kind of charm in its rough edges, the pacing feels a bit off-kilter, but that only adds to its unique charm. The performances are a mixed bag but have this raw energy that feels authentic. The practical effects, though limited, add a certain tactile quality, especially during the heist scenes, making it a distinctive entry in the genre.

This film is somewhat obscure, often overshadowed by bigger titles from its era, making it a bit of a hidden gem for collectors. It has seen limited releases on VHS and DVD, with recent interest in cult cinema giving it a small resurgence. You might not find it easily, which adds to its allure, but when you do, it’s a quirky slice of '70s cinema that offers a different take on the buddy cop trope.
