Review of Busting (1974) by Kris W — 03 Jan 2011
"What this film exposes about undercover vice cops can't be seen on your television set....only at a movie theatre!".
Two wacky, cynical Los Angeles vice cops (Gould and Blake) are forced to bust small-time drug addicts and hookers because their superiors are being paid off by the big guys. Good 70's cop movie, unfortunately came out after and is overshadowed by the far superior French Connection. Also stars Allen Garfield as the head bad guy, Sid Haig as his enforcer, and Michael Lerner as a seedy store owner.
Huge Black Man: [while beating Keneely with brass knuckles] Hello, Keneely. You know what, Keneely? I gotta message for you, from my friend. He says: Shazam! That's all; Shazam. Can you dig it?

Vice Detective Michael Keneely: Wouldn't you think the man would've at least had the decency to stay for the sermon?
Vice Detective Patrick Farrel: The Lord's gonna smoke his ass!

Vice Detective Michael Keneely: "Dear Mom and Dad. How are you? I am just swell. A fag ate my leg.".
