Judging from the reviews here, this really is a love-or-hate film isn't it? Well I love it. This has got to be the funniest film I've ever seen. There literally is a laugh a minute, make that half a minute! Even the storyline is taking the micky out of spy films: the retired agent is dragged back into the service to save the daughter of his dead ex-girlfriend, and save the world of course. The characters are brilliant, the evil genius is a psychotic, armless general; he director of the agency is a master of disguises who hides himself as a sofa, a wall, some curtains and even the floor! Some of the jokes are classic laughs, puns and parodies (the "raindrops keep falling on my head" bit springs to mind) and some are hilarious slapstick. If you like laughing, buy this film!

I am no relative of Leslie Nielsen but I love this movie, every time I watch it I see something new. Sure some gags are strained but one star reviews ! No whahay. Like all these Naked Gun style movies the background is littered with throwaway visual jokes.
Right from the opening Maurice Binder style title sequence with mishapes floating over Weird Al Yankovic singing the catchy theme tune. You go via the matey slapping contest with Robert Guillaume in the golf club,to assassin Alexandra Paul in a red negligee and the worst Russian accent until the next one appears in the movie, via Michael Jackson's hair fire, Ray Charles driving a bus, bypass the Sister Act routine that misses the mark, continue to a Macauley Culkin type getting what was well overdue for Home Alone, through Jurassic Park to the ACME rocket at the end.
Maybe the Naked Gun style movie was wearing thin about this time. The fart joke is old hat and certainly adds nothing. Maybe you just have to be in a certain state of mind to watch it and see what I see. Maybe the fact that I love B & C grade movies has a bearing on this. If you want a tight scripted, star studded multi million dollar Oscar nominated spy movie look elsewhere, if you want fun, grab a few beers and relax. Before you knock Nielsen over this look at what De Niro is up to these days, next stop EastEnders, Oy Mitchell, you looking at me !. I could have been a WestEnder.
The other positive reviewers have remained anonymous, hell I've no shame.

Forget the extras, forget the digital picture quality and the digital sound, this DVD is a must by for one simple reason - it is absolutely side splittingly funny! After the naked Gun Films, you'd think the series would get tired or repetitive, but i can assure you this is as good a comedy as you will find, and I simply love this film! Leslie Neilson plays the same roles as usual, and as always its at his hilarious best! While the film isn't stunning in terms of picture, sound or even extra features, nothing can stop this being an essential buy simply because the film itself is so great! I simply love this film, and if you ever need a good comedy to cheer you up, then this will certainly do the job! Fans of the Naked Gun series will probably already own this, but if you do not, then buy this now!

Not Nielsens best but worth a watch
If you are a big fan of Leslie Nielsen then this film is worth a watch, it is not quite as good as other films he has done such as Naked Gun.

Spy Hard
This is a really good laugh-out-loud comedy, full of slapstick and innuendo; hadn't laughed so much in ages! Great fun!

Slap-stick comedy at its best, or worst.
I had seen this movie nearly more than 15 years back, as a student, in a cinema hall. At that time it had appeared as quite funny. Read more

I like it, it's funny but ultimately, it's not very good....
Yes, you do have to enjoy Leslie Nielson - and millions do - and I am one of them and whilst they're always funny and enjoyable, they do repeat quite obvious gags. Read more

Great Fun but not quite Naked Gun/Airplane! Standard!!!
Leslie Nielsen in parodying the James Bond films and other various action films in Spy Hard. I guess children would appreciate these type's of films more than adults but you still... Read more

Nielsen NEVER faltered!
An absolutely brilliant Bond spoof, packed with deadpan gags, hillarious movie rip-takes and random celebrity appearences. Read more

Another hillarious film from a true legend
Rest in Peace, Leslie Nielsen.
I, like so many fans of the man, pay my respects to a true legend of comedy. Airplane, Police Squad! Read more
