Spy Hard Summary
MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Rick Friedberg
Genres: Comedy
Rating:
The first of several sight gag and slapstick-rich comedies he produced without the team of Jerry_Zucker, David_Zucker, and Jim_Abrahams, this lowbrow comedy from executive producer and star Leslie_Nielsen suffers by comparison to his work with the "ZAZ" team. Nielsen plays Dick Steele, secret agent WD-40, called out of retirement to stop the world-conquering plans of his old nemesis, General Rancor (Andy_Griffith), an armless madman determined to avenge himself upon Steele (who is responsible for Rancor's lack of appendages). With the help of Russian agent Veronique Ukrinsky (Nicolette_Sheridan), Steele prepares to battle Rancor at his tropical island lair, where the daughter of Steele's long-ago love is being held captive. Along the way, such films as True_Lies (1994), Speed (1994), Jurassic_Park (1993), Pulp_Fiction (1994), and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) are spoofed. Director Richard_Friedberg had previously directed Nielsen in a series of automobile rental commercials and goofy "how-to" golf videos. Karl Williams, Rovi
