When some undercover spies, involved in a plot to take over a Soviet nuclear
missile, are in need of a distraction, two bumbling low-ranking government
workers are quickly made into "spies" and thrown in the field...without
being told they are just cannon fodder.
I haven't seen SPIES LIKE US since it's original relese, but it's held up very
well. Aykroyd and Chase playing off each other is fun to watch and the
spies stuff is ridiculous, but still entertaining. Quick pace, non-boring
story, Vanessa Angel in her very first role looking incredibly hot, good comedic
timing, 80's fashions, 80's humor, charming 80's special effects, zero nudity
but a few stellar bra shots, John Landis before he lost his mojo, a David Bowie
poster, nice budget with some nice looking scenes and a impressive supporting
cast including Steve Forrest, the beautiful Donna Dixon, Bernie Casey, Bruce
Davison, Frank Oz, William Prince, Charles McKeown, Terry Gilliam and a bunch
more including cameos by Bob Hope, Ray Harryhausen, B.B. King, Joel Coen, Sam
Raimi, etc. Recommended.
