Editorial Review:
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
Spy Hard [Region 2] Reviews:
Spy Hard 
2009-11-29 - My 35 yr old thinks this is the funnest movie he's seen in years. The quality is good and I am glad I bought it.
Spy Hard 
2009-10-12 - This movie is hilarious! There are so many hidden innuendo's pertaining to certain situations that make this movie great to watch. I cannot get enough about leslie Nielson. The most funny actor of all time.
Leslie Nielsen plays James Bond? Kinda ... 
2009-10-07 - This is my kind of comedy movie! I've seen this movie about 10 times and carry it on my laptop for travel. Simply said, it is a parity of the 007 movies. Plenty of stupid puns, sight-gags, and really bad jokes. I am a big fan of Leslie Nielsen and he play the Bond-like lead role.
Classic Nielsen comedy 
2009-09-17 - If you like ridiculous gags, puns and satirical jabs then this movie is great. It's one of the all time stupid funny movies, from the time Weird Al sings the credits its non stop goofy. Leslie is showing his age and obviously can't do quite as much physical humor as in earlier movies. Regardless of faults it will make 80 minutes fly by. And as a bonus most women can't stand this type of humor so your wife will leave you alone, except for the occasional eye roll and guffaw as she walks past. (as if a movie about shared pants is more sensible)
Another Childhood Favorite!!! 
2009-03-04 - Ever since I was a kid, I've loved this movie. Now that I'm older, I still love it! Leslie Nielsen is always funny! He plays Agent Dick Steele who acts smart and serious, but he's sorta dumb. It has legendary Andy Griffith playing the bad guy. When I was little, I pretended I was a dumb cop. So, yeah; if you love action-spy-comedy-spoof movies, you'll love SPY HARD!!!
