Summary: very, very bad
Review: Sigh...the previous reviewer should have watched the movie before reviewing it. You think "ah! A farce with Leslie Nielson! It must be funny!" based on The Naked Gun. Don't be fooled, though: this isn't an Abraham, Zucker & Zucker production, and it's not at all funny. Some tips for the writer: sexual innuendo in itself is not funny. It's only funny if there's something CLEVER about it. The same with movie references: you can't just ape an older film; you have to actually do something FUNNY with it. Nielson IS a naturally funny guy, I think, but even he cannot redeem this waste of celluloid. The only redeeming quality of Spy Hard is Weird Al Yankovic singing the opening theme, but it's just not enough.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just Poor
Review: Spy Hard is the worst spoof I have ever seen. Most of the jokes in it are stolen right out of other, much better spoofs like Airplane and Hotshots and yet, they still can't manage to be funny. I laugh like mad every time I hear the " A hospital, what is it?" joke in Airplane and I didn't even smirk when the used THE EXACT SAME JOKE in this movie! To make things worse, the original jokes in this film are just as bad, if not worse. Spy Hard's spoofs are pointless. In the middel of the movie, for no apparant reason, they do the Pulp Fiction dance. Why? Spoofing other movies is only funny when its somehow tied into the plot. This film should be avoided at all costs. It just isnt funny.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Classic Nielsen
Review: Spy Hard...a spoof movie and another in the classic collection of the comedy genius of Leslie Nielsen. Not up there with the Naked Gun Collection but still a refreshing comedy with plenty of spoofs. Andy Griffith plays the bad guy, General Rancor and it's Leslie Nielsen(Agent WD-40) who has to save the world from his imminent tyranny. Leslie Nielsen is great, Nicolette Sheridan is also very good and sexy in this picture.:) They don't make enough comedies like this anymore. A must have for anybody who likes the goofy fun of Leslie Nielsen films.

Summary: HILARIOUS!!!!
Review: The one-liners 7 sight gags in this film really keep it fresh and fast paced. My favorite has to be Ray Charles driving the city bus. "Next stop Melrose...I think!"

Summary: Crazy movie on DVD
Review: The opening credits as well as other scenes in the movie are absolutely helarious. Weird Al's head exploding as well as spoofing Pulp Fiction, Speed, Ghost, and others.

Reading the reviews it seems to me that people just don't have a sense of humor anymore and just can't appreacheate a cute movie when they see it. Things don't have to have a plot to be funny but people have lost that. I am 24 and have gorwn up with some of th e best spoof movies. Hot Shots, Spaceballs, Loaded Weapon 1 and others. Spy Hard is a cute movie if you have a sence of humor.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Watch the opening titles, then leave.
Review: The opening titles are wonderful, a perfect parody of one of the cheesier Roger Moore era Bond movies. Weird Al's music and the accompanying visuals are a masterful pastiche.

The rest of the movie is total excrement. I'm ashamed to say I sat through the whole thing, waiting desperately for something amusing to happen. After a while I started thinking I'd lost my mind--Leslie Nielsen was on the screen, why wasn't anything funny?

But no, the people who must have really lost their minds were the ones who bothered to release this piece of garbage in the first place. I'd like 81 minutes of my life back, please.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very funny movie
Review: This is a very funny movie I saw. Filled with slapstick comedy. The movie makes fun of a lot of movies such as True Lies and James Bond.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Classic indeed, Oscar potential.
Review: This is one of the best comedies ever made. Whoever wrote this film is a genius. Should've won an Oscar for Best Film for 1996. So many camoes, so many great lines, this movie rocked. Leslie Nielsen is a God! Dude, If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Whoever hated this film doesn't know what they're talking 'bout. Communists!
