Fatal Instinct (1993)

In a vibrant parody of suspense thrillers and murder mysteries that ruled the late '80s and early '90s, "Fatal Instinct" unfurls the multi-layered, ludicrous life of Ned Ravine, a man with the dual persona of a police officer and lawyer. Ned's life spins into chaos when he encounters the alluring Lola, a femme fatale with a mysterious past, during an otherwise routine stakeout. Lola, using her charm, convinces Ned to examine a handful of seemingly innocuous papers that surprisingly turn out to be an expired lottery ticket and an old laundry receipt. This encounter leads them into a whirlwind romance, culminating in a passionate night, after which guilt-ridden Ned confesses his marital status to Lola, effectively ending their affair. Simultaneously, a shady figure from Ned's past, Max Shady, is released from prison, burning with vengeful fury against Ned for his inadequate legal defense. Unbeknownst to Ned, his own wife is entangled in a clandestine affair with a mechanic, Frank, and they cook up a sinister plot to murder Ned and claim his hefty accident insurance payout. In a twist of fate, a murder attempt goes awry, causing a ripple of events that sees Ned defending the very woman who tried to kill him. As he dives into this rabbit hole of lies, deceit, and murder, Ned discovers shocking truths about Lola and his wife, Lana, and their twisted sibling rivalry that has reshaped their lives - and his. "Fatal Instinct" is a rollercoaster ride of comedic subplots and visual gags, reminiscent of the Naked Gun series. It takes you on a journey that is as thrilling as it is hilarious, with every twist and turn more unexpected than the last. This is a movie that keeps you guessing and laughing, often at the same time, making it a must-watch for those who enjoy thrillers with a side of comedy.
