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 release, 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, Donna Dixon, Bernie Casey, Bruce Davison, Frank Oz, William Prince, Charles McKeown, Terry Gilliam and a bunch more including cameos by Bob Hope, Matt Frewer, Ray Harryhausen, B.B. King, Joel Coen, Sam Raimi, etc. Recommended.
