scorpioneagle this is kind of simple movie with small budget who get maximum fun of it I really enjoyed this movie I keep laughing all the way it has not some awesome story nor a plot or ending but it keeps simple and funny just a feel good movie i think that john Ritter and James Belushi are awesome actors and combination of both excellent choice it keeps you watching and real unexpected things happen I rarely laugh as much as on this movie some people maybe expected much more from it... but those people never look at budget nor at acting skills for example if you would put any other actors on that movie you would get totally other experience of it probably not worth to watch but Belushis and Ritter awesome acting made of this c movie a full A movie

roger-490 Real Men! A classic among comedies! Absurd yet undeniably compelling and original! Ritter and Belushi are a perfect coupling, combining chalk and cheese, as it were, yet it turns out to be one of the best films of the 80s! Belushi is so condescending it's almost unreal and Ritter gives a delightful performance as the paper pushing loser who discovers his inner strength yet never takes himself too seriously. The first time I saw this film I thought it was brilliant and my opinion of it has improved over repeated viewings. My favourite scene is this; A war between east and west has occurred. The streets of a small American town are littered with Russian agent's, victims of hot shot CIA agent Nick Pirandello and his trusty sidekick, Bob the man with the dangerous index finger. Gunfire echoes around the house where nick and bob shelter themselves from the remaining Russian's bullets. Suddenly, all goes quiet. Bob turns to nick and asks "What's going on?" Nick looks at his watch and says "Coffee break!" It would seem the Russian's relentless pursuit of the alien rendezvous map was to take a temporary back seat in favour of their hard earned worker's rights! This is but one scene from the film, which is replete with funny bits. I was sad to hear of the passing of John Ritter. God rest him.

vchimpanzee I've never been a fan of Jim Belushi, though I did eventually develop a taste for the work of his late brother. I would have probably liked this movie better with someone else, say Bill Murray or even John if he had been alive, in the role of Nick.Still, I enjoyed the goofy storyline. John Ritter was, while not the best I ever saw, still good as a nerdy spy who had no real qualifications--at first--except for resembling a real spy who was killed. I liked the physical comedy and the wacky story line, and of course the bad puns.There have been better movies of this type, but this one was fine for my taste.

CelluloidRehab When a CIA agent is killed, Nick Pirandello (James Belushi) is sent in to save the world. Nick is an unorthodox, uncontrollable uber-spy with a sense of humor and some panache. Friday, 20:00, Washington D.C. is the rendezvous. The fate of the world revolves around that date and place. Nick is forced to recruit a timid insurance salesman look-alike, Bob Wilson (John Ritter) and drive cross country to the destination.This is mostly a buddy picture, in which each of our protagonists learn something from the other and they bond. Nick becomes more sensitive and Bob becomes tougher.This is not a great movie, but ever since I saw this movie on HBO during the 80's, its just stayed with me. Its fun and it moves quickly. This soundtrack is also pretty good (catchy). If you like movies like Shanghai Noon, Rush Hour 1 & 2 then you'll like this movie. It has a nice mix of action and comedy.Some of my favorite scenes : Nick's Macguyver-like nail gun creation, his shoelace Tarzan impression and the bad clown attack. One of the most interesting aspects of this movie is that Ilsa, Shewolf of the SS, is Nick's dad.-Celluloid Rehab
