    A great spy spoof with some hot russians

    Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd team up in this 80?s spy spoof where they are recruited as American agents, albeit incompetent and bungling agents for a secret mission into Russia only to find that they are in fact decoys for the real mission.

    Without ruining the plot too much, the real mission is to do with testing a space based weapon system and accidentally starting the world war III. There are some particularly funny bits like their special agent training? watch out for the centrifuge scene. Personally I thought that it was too cold for the bolstering east-west relations bit in a tent in Siberia but I guess you would at least try faced with impending doom and a very attractive Russian. All in all a great action / comedy. A must see for all Aykroyd and Chase fans.
