Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The legacy of 1980's Airplane! has lasted a long, long time, as this dopey, 1996 comedy demonstrates. Leslie Nielsen, who has made a fortune starring in most of these intermittently inspired spoof movies, plays a secret agent whose code name is WD-40 and whose supervillain nemesis is the armless General Rancor (Andy Griffith). As the battle rages and the sight gags fly (the entrance to a hospital and sanctuary for nuns reads 'Our Lady of the Never-Had-the-Pickle Convent'), WD-40 is aided by the beautiful spy 3.14 (Nicolette Sheridan). As always in these things, there are plenty of parodying references to other movies (Pulp Fiction) and tons of cameos (Fabio, Dr. Joyce Brothers, and such). The funniest stuff takes place in the first few minutes as 'Weird Al' Yankovic sings the title song. Other than that, this is pretty mediocre. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best Of Leslie Nielsen.
No need to analyze the plot. Just go for the raid. Parodies, slapstick comedy and plain silliness. If you are in the right mood, it is incredibly funny.




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not Enhanced for Widescreen TVs
You can read the other reviews to get a good idea about this movie. It is rated PG-13 "For Crude Humor and Sexual Innuendo", you have been warned. My main issue is that this DVD is not enhanced for widescreen TVs -- that is, the video is encoded at a 4:3 aspect ratio with black bars at the top and bottom, which will cause black bars all around the image.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - "Leave me alone, I'm and unarmed man"
Andy Griffith saves what little there is to this unabashed spy spoof. You may remember Andy in several T.V. series as Mayberry R.F.D. and Matlock. Andy playing General Rancor in this film is spoofing General Midwinter (Ed Begley) in "Billion Dollar Brain" (1967).

The standard story is General Rancor will destroy the world once he gets his computer chip the same chip that can not be destroyed as it can cure world hunger. Of course there is an imprisoned father scientist being sought ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not Terrible, but Not Great either
I'm going to have to agree with most of the previous reviewers in saying that this is indeed not the best of films compared to other spoofs out there.
Spy Hard, following in the footsteps of Date Movie, Epic Movie, Shriek if You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th, and the Scary Movie series, is a parody of several films including James Bond, Home Alone, Pulp Fiction, and even Jurassic Park among others.
It is a humorous movie... at times. The casting is good, though most of the dialogues ... Read More
