Not that I’m saying Let’s Be Cops has much worth as art…

It’s a bit weird. I think Tom’s theory is probably right, but it does read a bit like a message to anyone thinking of going a bit M-ii-ssster Wr-i-i-ter on them, criticism-wise.

So, being generous and suggesting 999,000 hours (and not from what you see on screen), it suggests the average work shift in Let’s Be Cops is 76 hours, just about two Hollywood weeks. Maybe lots of people resigned cos they saw the script?
