[Santino]

There's a still of the scene in the link I posted, you ass.

That was an enlargement of a still showing just Dan Ackroyd's moustached face, my still put it in context of the whole shot, you four-eyed git.

 

[kabbes]

Just his face, you nob?

 

[Santino]

Your mum is just his face.

Jewel in the Nile was the sequel to Romancing the Stone.

 

[Yetman]

Does Bigfoot and the Hendersons count?

Its Harry and the Hendersons

I vote for Little Monsters. OR GAMES MASTER! Yessssss! It had Mario, it had 11 year old kid romantic twists, it had the uuber cool older nerd with the Nintendo glove, it had crazy end Mario 3 competition bit with warps that you'd never find if you didnt have the book but it doesnt matter cos it WAS ACE

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Ghost busters or Back to the future. There are no other contenders.

If I recall the autistic kid had help because the girl spent hours on the nintendo hotline, making the film a giant ad for a $1 a minute gamer help phoneline nintendo was pushing.

Yeah but no, but, if those are your criteria then the Goonies are in there.

TRUFFLE SHUFFLE!

The nintendo hotline. Bastards. It helped me on megaman though so.....

 

[The Octagon]

Porky's
Adventures in Babysitting (is this 1980's, well I liked it when I was younger, and Elizabeth Shue is hot in it)
Bachelor Party (Tom Hanks' finest performance, just watch the subtle nuances during the donkey shagging scene, truly a master craftsman)

I think you must be older than me

 

[The Octagon]

I think you must be older than me

Probably not by much, I was only born at the start of the glorious 80's.

(Plus I did film at Uni so watched most of the films mentioned then)

I was born in 1976, so you're not older than me. I think its your point in parentheses that is the key one. In the 1980s themselves I was too young to be watching Bachelor Party and Porkys. By the 1990s, there were other distractions.

 

[Maggot]

Time Bandits

 

[kabbes]

I didn't realise that Time Bandits was such an old film! 1981!

 

[The Groke]

Plague Dogs

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Groke's Adventures in Battlefield Earth

 

[gsv]

Jewel in the Nile was the sequel to Romancing the Stone.

Yes. And it's shit.
If we're being pedantic shits, it's Jewel of the Nile

What is the best 1980s Comedy Adventure film?

Some suggestions for your consideration:

Back to the Future
Inner Space
Flight of the Navigator
Short Circuit
Ghostbusters
Goonies

Flight of the Navigator is an excellent film, but I've never classed it as Comedy

 

[Santino]

Flight of the Navigator is an excellent film, but I've never classed it as Comedy

It is SO Comedy Adventure. Pee Wee Harman does a comic turn in it. Together with Inner Space and Short Circuit it forms the Holy Trinity of definitive 1980s family-friendly science fiction comedy adventures.

 

[Flashman]

The Princess Bride.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

The Princess Bride.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

What about Gremlins 2?

e2a it was 1990, should still count though.

How about just Gremlins.
