Movie preview: Reno 911 - Miami

Reno's least effective police officers head to Miami for a cop convention and end up protecting its citizens on their own when a biohazard scare locks up every single other officer in town. Short-shorts-wearing Lieutenant Dangle, bosomy Deputy Johnson, dense Deputy Wiegel, and the rest of the Reno face a beached whale, a familiar criminal, and a drug dealer while patrolling the sun-drenched city. Reno 911: Miami features the same cast as the Comedy Central series, and is ripe with lewd humor, improvised dialogue, and sexual situations.

Thomas Lennon, in character as Lieutenant Dangle, says Reno 911: Miami is misrepresentative and that producer Danny DeVito has a lot to do with that: "We feel like we've been misrepresented. A solid 30 percent of the time we're giving 110 percent. You're not seeing that. What you're seeing is boobery, incompetence and the times that we accidentally blow something up. We don't get a say in the editing. What they do is they take all the footage, they hand it over to Danny Devito, he's drunk on Limoncella, and then he cobbles it together into a menagerie of lies."

Niecy Nash, in character as Deputy Raineesha Williams, explains the difficulties of Miami arrests: "I don't know if I'm really excited about any of it because I'm used to the criminals that I'm used to where I'm from. And in Miami, baby, these people are - they're bronzed, they're lubed up, they're slippery! And it's hard to you know, arrest them."

Following are clips from Reno 911: Miami:

Dangle tells the gang they're going to Miami: (Thomas Lennon) "Guess what guys! We have been invited to the American Police Convention in Miami Beach!" (Cops) "Woah!" (Kerri Kenney) "Is this a joke?" (Cops) "What!" (Lennon) "Three days of fun in the sun!" (Cop) "Why did they invite us?" (Thomas Lennon) "They invited us this year because they invited everybody."

A man wrestles an alligator in a pool while the cops look on: (Cop 1) "We can't allow you to go in the pool sir." (Gator Man) "Why not? I can't bite. Look here, rule number one for gator, you gotta respect it. You don't respect the gator, gator not respect you." (Cop 2) "No don't touch its..." (Cop 3) "Stop!" (Gator Man) "They got peripheral eye vision on sides, watch this, watch, watch for it. I'm your daddy! Look at that! That gator won't bite you or do nothing!"

The gang discusses Clementine's new breast tattoo: (Wendi McLendon-Covey) "That's him! That's him!" (Thomas Lennon) "Who? Kind of looks like Richard Petty, the NASCAR guy." (Cedric Yarbrough) "Yeah, you been making love with Richard Petty?" (McLendon-Covey) "I don't know, I love him. I have to find who this is." (Lennon) "Okay, well no, we gotta, no we gotta go back to the convention center guys." (McLendon-Covey) "No, you have to go buy me some cranberry juice 'cause it's gonna be one of those days, I'll tell you."
