Stroker Ace (1983)

Another collaboration between Reynolds and Needham but this one didn’t do as well as the previous endeavors and it won five Golden Raspberry Awards including; Worst Picture and Worst Director.

With that said, it’s entertaining and fun to watch. View it in the same light as “Talladega Nights”.
