Johnny Dangerously is an American crime comedy movie from 1984 that parodies crime and gangster films from the 1930s. Amy Heckerling directed the movie. The film’s creative and frequent use of malapropisms by Johnny and other crime characters, particularly in situations where swear words were meant, contributes to its humorous appeal.
