Spy Hard

Wildly offensive movie that bizarrely thought it was a good idea to combine parodies of both Spy Kids and Hard Candy.

About as funny as a clothed gun.

There was no greater joy at the movies than seeing Leslie Nielsen stunt doubles. Friedberg and Seltzer not in full dogshit garbage yet but they're tickling it.

A joke-a-second comedy. unfortunately that makes approximately 4,400 bad jokes in this piece of shit.

All I remember is Weird Al's head exploding in the beginning. I just checked the Film Info page, and the writers' names seemed familiar...I think they're the ones who are churning out those ______ Movie things. That should say it all.

Aaron Seltzer and the Friedbergs should be investigated for conspiracy to commit murder against parody.

I've watched this movie when I was younger. Liked it then.. But what a load of crap

There are very few comedies which inspired absolutely no reaction from me (even Beethoven gave me a great feeling of disgust). I felt cold, and I couldn't understand why the writers thought any of these lame, incredibly stupid jokes would work. It is probably one of the worst comedies ever made.

Spy Hard was one of the earliest examples of a pernicious trend that would kill the film parody genre stone dead: presenting material from other films instead of creatively flipping it. It is just assumed laughter will flow freely from randomly inserting 'parodies' in various vaguely related contexts. The sole exception is Weird Al's uproarious Bond parody in the title sequence, but it's ultimately misleading. There are some dumb laughs to be had courtesy of Nielsen, but even he can't save it.

The best thing is Weird Al's theme song. That's it.

i only give the marks for the themesong :-)

The best part is the Weird Al song, and even that isn't great.

Any movie with a Weird Al theme song has to be at least ok.

"Spoof starring Leslie Nielsen" does not guarantee it'll be a great movie, and this was one of the first movies to show this. The title sequence (sung by Weird Al) is by far the best part of this film.

Everything falls apart after the title credits. Waste of a decent Weird Al song. Leslie Nielsen was too old to be cast in this role.

Kind of Naked Gun goes James Bond.

Do people who laugh at Naked Gun really not like this?! It seems to have the exact same kinds of humour, rotating through slapstick, sight gags, word play, and parodies (some of which are awfully topical and horribly shoe-horned in -- must've been Seltzer and Friedberg). Watched this thinking it was Hot Shots (EDIT: no, wait, I meant Top Secret).

It's hardly as bad as people make it out to be, but there is nothing good to note either. Spy Hard is a Leslie Neilson miss, with corny jokes that just don't land. Would have expected more from this, honestly.

A hit-and-miss, laugh-and-cringe parody with about 50% of each. So 50% seems like the appropriate score. For a long time I was convinced that this was written by Zucker-Abrahams, since the style is so familiar and it even reuses some of the exact same joke structures from the classic Airplane! But no, apparently the writers were just ripping off the better film.

Uses the same formula as The Naked Gun and Airplane but just doesn't pull off the laughs.

If you didn't guess from the writing credits, this is not a funny movie. I also managed to not rate it for this long, so there you go.

I loved this when I was younger, less so now apart from a handful of moments. Everything suddenly becomes less amusing when you realise Friedberg & Seltzer are involved.

I'd rather remove my own appendix with a blunt spoon than suffer this again.

This is a masterpiece compared to the Scary Movie saga, still a load of dick but.

I mean I'll watch it on Comedy Central

Sucks Hard!

ok

It's probably because of all those Scary/Super Hero/Epic Movies but upon reflection this one wasn't as abysmal as I remember it. Some of the jokes are genuinely funny in their sheer absurd stupidity. However I can't deny that a good portion of the jokes are just plain stupid without actually being funny. Highlight is certainly Weird Al's theme song.

Some silly Leslie Nielsen spoofs are fun, this one definitely isn’t. The only really funny part is Weird Al’s opening song.

Leslie Nielsen managed to parlay the success of the Naked Gun series into an endless stream of spoof films. I think all that remains is a spoof making fun of a spoof of spoof movies.

I wish Leslie Nielsen could have lived forever

A fairly funny movie that kept a smile on my face through out most of it. It looked like Andy Griffith was having a lot of fun with his role. Many other better spoofs out there, but this is still better than most made today.

Very funny :)

As spoof movies go, this one's not so bad.

This only gets 25 points because I like Leslie Niesen (well, I liked him when he worked with the Zuckers and Abraham, everything else is shit). Whoops, my score has been amended because the names Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are attached to this movie and their presence alone negates any good will I had towards Mr. Nielsen. They do the "Stupid-Concept Unfunny-Movie" movies and I hope they die, the lousy fucks.

lol

Ağam biriniz de demedi mi açalım Naked Gun izleyelim o da olmadı Airplane! izleyelim? Komik desen değil. Senaryo desen zaten yok. Beklemezdim en azından senden Leslie Nielsen.

A few laugh-out-loud jokes sorrounded by too many groan-inducing ones.

Some fun moments but not the best of Nielson's spoofs.

Among the worst Leslie Nielsen spoofs, but Weird Al's credit sequence is still absolute perfect.

No subtlety, no intelligence.

bad movie

Leslie Nielsen brings a certain amount of charm to a movie an has yet to put on a performance that left me unhappy. So its no surprise that this movie was enjoyable and while not as good as his earlier work like the Naked Gun series or Airplane! It is still much better then his most recent outing 2001: a space travesty.

Who thought this was funny enough to release?

Bad comedies are physically painful to sit through and this is definitely a bad comedy.

In a hostage situation, while taped to a chair with only one movie to watch, this might be a good choice.

Guilty pleasure, no doubt. And a childhood favorite.
