Summary: The movie was so funny, soda gushed out of my nose.
Review: A funny movie with a great cast. It was well directed.It keeps you laughing (I mean laughfing hard). It was one of the best written comedies I,ve ever seen. Leslie Neilson was definetly at his best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SILLY AND KNOWS IT
Review: First off,the "Bond" films which this movie perfectly spoofs,are laughable they just don't know it.This movie is silly and does know it,and it is hillarious,they could'nt have picked a better star than Nielsen he is one of the most funny,if not the most funny, men alive.Full of laughs definately catch this one,you will be glad you did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredibly FUNNY
Review: Forget all the panners, downers and other pooh-pooh'ers. This thing is one laugh riot after another. Too many to mention. Give it a rest, guys. This is a parody, a spoof. I laughed all the way through even after the THIRD time I watched.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Oh no...it finally happened. Leslie Nielsen in a bad parody!
Review: I am a big Leslie Nielsen fan. I first saw him in the Naked Gun series, which I thought was awesome, then I saw him again in Wrongfully Accused. I was so enthralled that I acquired Airplane, which seems to be a highly praised movie with him in it.

I had thought he could do no wrong, but he really disappointed me here. What is wrong with this movie? EVERYTHING you will see in here are things you have already seen in other Leslie Nielsen comedy movies. There are times that what will happen becomes so obvious that it's painful rather than funny. For example, the x-ray glasses. My God, when that was mentioned, I just felt nauseous.

The problem with this movie is that it continues the Naked Gun-variety humor, but it does it rather badly. Most of the humor in this movie is sexual-based and that will eventually get boring. Aside from that, this movie lacks a proper plot. All throughout the movie, it doesn't seem like Dick Steele (Nielsen) did anything, but move from one area to another in preparation for a gag. Nielsen's other movies had bad plots too, but at least they were coherent.

I am sorry (mostly to myself for seeing this), but this was just a bad movie. Perhaps the director should go watch the entire Naked Gun series to see how it is done.

Summary: Leslie Nielsen Rocks in Spy Hard!!!-Yankovic's Theme Sucks!!
Review: I have been a big fan of Leslie Nielsen ever since I first saw The Naked Gun. And Nielsen keeps getting better every time out. Nielsen is at his best in Spy Hard, reluctantly leaving 15 years of retirement to take on Griffith, who wants world domination as well as revenge on Nielsen for halting him. Nielsen in turn, wants revenge on Griffith for killing his girlfriend, (who literally slips through Nielsen's fingers and fell off a cliff to her death), during his last mission. I especially like the part when Charles Durning disquises himself as a chair as tells Nielsen he did it to hide from his wife's lawyer. I also like the part when Nielsen walks into headquarters and sees the combination lock on a fellow agent's briefcase and mistakes it for an Agency gadget. I liked Barry Bostwick as Norm Coleman because he sounds like JFK in every way and because Durning embarasses Bostwick, who wants Durning's job and doesn't like Nielsen. Nicolette Sheridan is a knockout, both as Nielsen's assistant and sexual partner. And being a KGB agent, she's smarter than hell!!! They first meet at an airport, then on Nielsen's plane to Washington, then formally at a resturant, where Nielsen tries to lie as to who he is, but Sheridan doesn't fall for it, as she already knows everything about him. All the while, Sheridan is worried about her father, who is the scienist who built the chip Griffith needs for his plans. So how does Nielsen calm her down, he takes her dancing at a club,(spoofing a scene from Saturday Night Fever). And as I said, Sheridan is a knockout. When she and Nielsen have sex at a fellow agent's apartment, it's the best!!! It's even funnier because while they do it, a missle passes by her window!!! Nielsen's parachuting in the beginning is pretty cool too, but the best part in the entire movie is when Griffith tries to feed Nielsen to some crocs, saying he would be their meal while he, as he puts it, "plays Mortal Kombat with the entire world!!!" I also like Nlelsen's lecture to Griffith about contury and service. As I said in the title of this movie review, Weird Al Yankovic's opening theme sucks!!! Okay, maybe not the whole song. In fact, the only reason i say it sucks is because at the end of the song, in the chorus in particular, Al screws up the whole thing by not adding anything catchy, which he does do in the first part of the song. The first choral verse is "if you're gonna spy, you gotta Spy Hard," which is fine. The second verse is "if you wanna win, you gotta Spy Hard," which is also fine. But the final part kills it. Instead of doing something cool, he just says "The name of this movie is Spy Hard," And then he says you're watching it as if you don't already know. At the end of the movie, he replaces watching with just seen, again as if you don't already know. I don't really like the part about Nielsen's dental plan ethier, but i can stand it compared to the very end of the song. When it comes to laughs, Spy Hard hits a bigger home run than Babe Ruth himself!!! I like the first Naked Gun best of all Nielsen's movies, but Spy Hard gets a very, very, very, very, very, close second, and Wrongfully Accused gets third by just about as close. Spy Hard is worth one rent or a million. I promise you.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Imitation Of The Bond Films
Review: I liked this movie because of how it made fun of the Bond films. The beginning titles copied Thunderball. Instead of having slim women swimming around, it was a bunch of fat women. I just thought it was funny, ever since it first came out.

A lot of people disagree with this movie, but I thought it was really good.

Rent it if you think you should. It's up to you

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nielsen at his finest, and "Weird Al" Yankovic's best theme!
Review: I loved this movie! It is a must see for anyone with a slight sense of humor. I was rolling in the ailes, and Yankovic's theme blows me away (Pun intended!)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: They didn't even TRY hard!
Review: I remember heading into the local cinema with a few buds to take a gander at this pitiful attempt at humor. The only time I even chuckled was during one moment in the opening credits while 'Weird Al' was singin' the theme (I'm sure those who've seen the movie know which part I'm talkin' about). Actually, watching Al's head explode trying to sustain the high note the song's coda was kinda entertaining, too. But, other than the opening, I found nary a laugh in sight for the rest of the movie.

If ever there was an indicator that the sight-gag-laden quasi-slapstick genre of comedy filled with take-offs on other notable movie moments popularized by The Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker comedy team ('Airplane!', 'Naked Gun') was running out of ideas, 'Spy Hard' is it! The movie-scene satires (most notably Leslie Nielsen's impression of John Travolta from 'Pulp Fiction') all fell flat, and most of the sight gags were either totally stupid or were just ripped off from other Z-A-Z-style comedies, but didn't work nearly as well this time around.

So if you're looking for a similar spy-flick satire that'll actually get you to laugh on occasion, grab the underrated Z-A-Z classic 'Top Secret', and avoid this stinker at all costs!

Summary: If you're gonna spy, then you have to SpyHard.
Review: I saw it on starzs acouple months ago. My Jordan told me about it when he saw it in the theartes. I thought that was funny escpiesly when weird-al Yanchovich was singing the theme. I wish they made a game.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Naked Gun 4
Review: I was able to pick this DVD up in the cheapie bin, and thats where i'd recomend you find it too. Dont pay too much for this movie!

Basicly it almost seems like its Naked Gun part 4! Sure, a few name changes here and there, like Neilsons charactor "Agent WD-40!" and a few others here and there.. but if they changed a coupel of things around, you basiclly would have Naked Gun part 4!

If you enjoyed the Naked Gun films, you will probably like this movie too! As agent WD40 is re-assighned after retirment to capture a bad man he thought he killed years ago. And along the way you see the classic Neilson spin off , parody and goofyness that he portrays so well!

If your not into whacky comedys , then youll hate this movie.
If your like me and enjoy them, then this movie isnt bad at all!

WARNING: Avoid "WRONGFULLY ACCUSED" take my word on that about that movie!!
