Matthew Broderick plays the bumbling title character who, after being blown up in his car by the evil Dr. Claw, must become a guinea pig for an experimental program designed to create bionic police officers in order to survive. There he is endowed with 14,000 helpful gadgets by a beautiful scientist, such as a hand that doubles as a phone, giant spring-mounted legs, and a helicopter that pops out of his fedora. Gadget vows revenge on the evil Dr. Claw, but is more Inspector Closeau to really do much damage, so his daighter Penny and her trusty mutt make sure the good inspector gets a helping hand when he needs it. Fun for the whole family. Includes the bonus video "I'll Be Your Everything" by Youngstown. [More]
