If you love to laugh, like Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd, you got to see it.Movie Review: Chevy Chase in his Prime!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I just picked up the DVD of this flick as I had seen it years ago in the theatre and remember it being funny. Well, it still is. I laughed out loud the whole movie. This is Chevy Chase in his prime!! Reminds me of his perfection in the first Vacation movie. As for DVD quality, I was quite pleased with the picture after reading alot of negative reviews on the quality. It was everything I expected from a 1985 movie of this caliber. Clear and bright colors with an occasional artifact from a lousy transfer print. The audio was a different story. It is just 2 channel which is ok on a $9.99 disc, but there was an annoying hissing sound through most of the movie. After fifteen minutes I started playing with the options on my stereo and got rid of it on the 'Cinema C' setting. Yes, it is pan-n- scan and the scene selection menu is nothing but the Warner Bros Logo(can't beleive they couldn't even load the picture that was on the case!?!?)and there is not even a trailer, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. The colors are brighter than the VHS and if you have a decent sound system, you can dispell the hissing sound(or just pretend you're watching it in the forest with the wind blowing thru the pine trees!!) Still a VERY funny movie. I would say the scene with Chevy taking the 'Spy Exam' alone is worth the price of this disc!! Get it already!!!!!Movie Review: Hilarious, but they need to release it in Widescreen
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a hilarious movie from the 80s, especially now (considering part of it takes place among Afghani warlords back when the US was supporting the Taliban against the Soviets). Its combination of sweet one-liners and the cynical anti-nuclear proliferation story will make it a "keeper" for years to come. "Spies" picks up where Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove" left off, and throws in a couple of sexy ladies for good measure. It takes an appropriate jab at (then) President Reagan by showing one of his cheesy musicals.
One of my favorite parts is when Aykroyd and Chase get dropped into Pakistan in a huge container filled with chips and beer (their "spy" supplies). Another is when the Soviet/American negotiations are really a game of Risk/Trivial Pursuit!
This movie should be released in a widescreen edition as soon as possible because "pan and scan" ruins the director's carefully arranged scene compositions.
Listen for Paul McCartney's rousing theme at the end of the movie called (what-else) "Spies Like Us".
