Product Description

Product Description

Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as US secret agent Harry Tasker in James Cameron's attempt at screwball-comedy and action-adventure. Tasker's bored housewife, Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis), believes her husband to be a salesman, blissfully unaware of his espionage activities even after fifteen years of marriage. Suspecting Helen of conducting an affair, Harry uses all the resources at his disposal to find out what's going on. He is shocked to discover that she is falling for used car salesman Simon (Bill Paxton), who has wooed her by claiming to be a spy! However, when Helen and Harry are both captured by a gang of Arab terrorists, he is forced to reveal his true profession.

From Amazon.co.uk

From The Terminator to Titanic, you can always rely on writer-director James Cameron to show you something you've never seen on the big screen before. The guy may not consistently pen the most scintillating dialogue in the world (and, especially in this movie, he doesn't seem to have a particularly high regard for women), but as a director of kinetic, push-the-envelope action sequences, he is in a class by himself. In True Lies, the highlight is a breathtaking third-act jet and car chase through the Florida Keys. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a covert intelligence agent whose wife of 15 years (Jamie Lee Curtis) finally finds out that he's not really a computer salesman and who becomes mixed up in a case involving nuclear arms smuggling. Tom Arnold is surprisingly funny and engaging as Schwarzenegger's longtime spy partner, and Bill Paxton is a smarmy used-car salesman whom Arnold thinks is having an affair with his wife. Purely in terms of spectacular action and high-tech hardware, True Lies is a blast. --Jim Emerson, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars‘Cry havoc and let slip the gods of’ LAUGH
By BobH on 1 Feb. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
‘True Lies’(1994) is a wow of a film with Arnold Schwartzenegger getting up to his usual tough-guy stunts but this time playing it for laughs. That shouldn’t be difficult should it? Just ham up the action a bit, overplay the heroism, kill ten times the number of nasties than usual in such films as ‘Rambo’ or ‘Terminator’. This film, however, offers so much more.
There’s good direction, especially in the action sequences –for me the most exhilarating was Arnie on horseback pursuing a nasty on motor cycle and not a jump-jet hovering in the midst of chaos. An outrageous script - see what prompts the Bond-like comment, ‘You’re fired’ and you’ll understand. Did the ball scene inspire the one in ‘Mission Impossible 1’? Perhaps but the immediate effects REALLY go over the top. Throughout Arnie certainly outdoes most James Bonds in an unusual range of expressions in his eyes.
Then there are the key players – Jamie Lee Curtis ranges from a bored housewife yearning for adventure via a sexy dance as a whore to a fitting companion for a super-hero, albeit with hysterics. And her final tango with Arnie is worthy of entry into ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. Art Malik is superb as chief nasty and I’m sure his many fans would be appalled at his treatment. Tia Carrere has a good stab at the ‘femme-fatale’ and Tom Arnold as the under-valued assistant.
If you’re an aficionado of James Bond, ‘Mission Impossible’ and the like, you should enjoy this spoof: if you don’t, are you taking such films a bit too seriously?
A well-deserved 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars“Sure, here’s my invitation!” [arnie]
By Throda tzen on 29 Feb. 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
In this 1994 action comedy Harry Tasker [Arnold Schwarzenegger] is a counter-terrorism agent investigating a terrorist group known as the "Crimson Jihad", led by Salim Abu Aziz [Art Malik]. But a side plot has Harry believing his wife [Jamie Lee Curtis -who knows nothing about his other life] is having an affair so what happens when the two plots collide?
Full of dry wit and packed with action, this no frills DVD is a rollercoaster from start to finish. The acting is superb and it’s like James Bond meets the Keystone Cops, with a laugh a minute. Despite the age, the quality, special effects, acting and overall production has stood the test of time. Arnie plays the part well, his tango may not be technically perfect, but it is amusing. Curtis won an award for her part and performs a raunchy dance while a young Eliza Dushku appears in her third appearance as their daughter.

5.0 out of 5 starsLove this film
By Harry Nicholas on 21 April 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I worked alongside someone who worked on the special effects for this, so....

I've watched this loads of times, and will watch it again. If you read my review of An American WereWolf In London, you'll see what I mean about humour in films. Although this is a great spin on the Bond movie it's a long way from taking itself seriously, the tongue is planted firmly in the cheek. Despite it being a film where a Nuclear Weapon is set off on American soil.

Great performances from all, and "I remember the first time I was shot out of a cannon", and Jamie Lee Curtis doing a strip with live with me until I die. Great action movie and very funny too.

3.0 out of 5 starsHow can you not love Arnie?
By Jules Mountain on 13 Nov. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I remembered the tango scene from the cinema and decided I needed to add this to my DVD library. I'd forgotten that the good fun, amusing and rollicking first hour is followed up by a slightly tedious 'shoot em up' hour of Arnie-dom. But still glad I've got it. Arnie and Jamie have real chemistry.

5.0 out of 5 starsAction and Comedy - made for Arnie!
By Mike Thomas on 16 April 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is probably one of my favourite movies as it blends some excellent action sequences with a number of great comedic scenes. In my opinion this is Arnie at his best, not taking himself too seriously. Tom Arnold and Jamie Lee Curtis provide just the right comic timing to a number of scenes, with Bill Paxton providing a standout performance as the Car Salesman.

The overall story is as daft as you could write, but it all works to create a very entertaining film.

Rumours of a sequel still persist, which would have been great 15 years ago, but now it is hard to belive it could work.

By Die Wolf Wat Luister on 11 Jun. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I like DVD. That DVD is very good. They have amazingly funny, exciting and griping, and directed very well. They are with some brilliant action scenes. I never forget 'True Lies'. My old friends and I laughed very much, grasped and surprised about their strangely funny, and like a true hero and rescue. We liked them very much. He was a fantastic actor.

3.0 out of 5 stars"You're Fired!"
By Mr. C. Gelderd VINE VOICE on 7 Aug. 2014
Format: DVD
James Cameron knew what he was doing making ‘True Lies’ – it was a mix of genres which can never really be identified; is it an action film or romantic-comedy? It flitters between the two to never alienate audiences enough to get bored and presents a more fleshed out film for both sexes to enjoy, be it a little stronger on the action than the rom-com. But it still has wonderfully comedic and tender moments dotted in between the bombastic action sequences thanks to the chemistry between Schwarzenegger and Curtis who you really can believe are a strained man and wife duo.

If American audiences were responsible for the James Bond character, then this is what Arnold Schwarzenegger embodies being a suave and well suited secret agent who knows his way around any form of super-weapon or vehicle he comes across. Director Cameron seems to keep his tongue very firmly in cheek during this film giving us lots of silly moments sugar coated that is just avoids being absurd, like a horseback chase through a hotel, a Harrier jump-jet battle and outrageous explosions and carnage.

It’s a love letter to the action genre that Cameron and Schwarzenegger know so well, and with the involvement of the likeable Tom Arnold as the comic relief to bounce off Schwarzenegger in all of their scenes and Jamie Lee Curtis as the bored frumpy housewives-turned-sex siren who joins in with the action later on, there are lots of enjoyable moments to break up the action. Art Malik and the gorgeous Tia Carrera are on fine form as the slimy, power-crazed villains of the piece and don’t stray too far into megalomaniac territory, but keep it grounded with a dark terrorist threat, and they all get stuck into the action sequences when required.Read more ›
