The evil Gen. Rancor has his sights set on world domination, and only one man can stop him: Dick Steele, also known as Agent WD-40. Rancor needs to obtain a computer circuit for the missile that he is planning to fire, so Steele teams up with Veronique Ukrinsky, a KGB agent whose father designed the chip. Together they try to locate the evil mastermind's headquarters, where Veronique's father and several other hostages are being held.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The late Leslie Nielsen is one of my favourite comedic actors, but not even he could carry this clunker along.Pros: Top cast with some attractive eye-candy.Cons: Compared to all of Leslie Nielsen's other comedies this was easily his most disappointing, but I suppose you can only read the lines you are given.

Having supposedly killed the evil "General Rancor" (Andy Griffith) before he can do any mischief "Agent WD-40" (Leslie Nielsen) retires from the Secret Service to enjoy the remainder of his life to the fullest. However, he is called back by "the Director" (played by Charles Durning) when it is discovered that General Rancor has managed to survive and is now demanding a special computer chip in exchange for the release of an agent named "Barbara Dahl" (Stephanie Romanov) who just happens to be the daughter of the woman that Agent WD-40 (aka "Dick Steele") once loved. To that end, Agent WD-40 has to find the special computer chip before General Rancor can get his hands on it while at the same time attempt to rescue Barbara Dahl in the process. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this movie had a couple of humorous scenes here and there but like a joke that has been told once too often it lost its appeal after awhile. It just got old too quickly and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

You always know with a Leslie Nielsen slapstick comedy, you'll be in titters. Here, is no exception. This comedy should be called, Spy dumb, as that's what Leslie Nielsen is here, another bumbling character, this time a spy. Having your code name named after a world wide silicon spray, doesn't give you much of a chance. The plot is Spy Dumb too. Bad Guy Andy Griffith, looking twice as ugly, yes, as if almost unrecognizable (he fooled me) needs a particular computer chip to put his dastardly deed, of sending a dangerous missile into space, so he control the world. Agent WD40 (Nielsen being Nielsen) teams up with smoking hot KGB agent, Veronique Ukrinsky (Sheridan, looking much different, beautox, and all) to rescue her father, the designer of the chip where he and his associates are being held hostage in Griffith's secret hideaway. Sheridan's not the only hot one in it, Nielsen, again a ladies man. Watch for a cameo from a Baywatch babe, bed sharing with Nielsen. The movie takes jabs or spoofs at some 94 flicks, while we almost have an unmistakable and moving Loaded Weapon moment. Even an old Michael Jackson incident can't evade this funny flick. I will admit the Speed take off, got all too ridiculous by it's near end, but this is a slapstick comedy, remember, which instigates continual laughter as only our bumbling idiot (who in public, you should avoid at all costs, to your health) delivers. Durning's cloak disguise's got all too ridiculous, to a point, some of them were really stupid. There are a lot of really good and inventively comedy moments. Griffith was really good, but the performance that really had me was that of Barry Bostwick as a warring agency colleague of Nielsen's. The opening theme and lyrics, ala: Bond films, with swimming silhouettes in the b.g. is much a funny start, positively ensuring what follows is gonna be just as funny and it is, yet not as funny as Nielsen's Naked Guns. Hats off here to Weird Al Yankovic, for that cute little opening track/swimming sequence performed by Weird Al "Like A Surgeon" Yankovic. There's quite a few cameos, some I didn't recognize.

First:Sorry about my bad English,i'm not American! If you know Leslie Nielsen's previous spoof/comedy films,you could expect something very funny this time,but,that's not what you get,instead,we get a movie that tries as much as it can to be like "airplane",and mainly "naked gun".It's pretty clear that this movie writers were influenced by the ZAZ team.But,they sure don't know how to handle the style of humor that may had seemed easy on their minds.We do receive nonsense,double-sense,jokes a second and other characteristics that made movies like "Naked Gun","Airplane" and "hot shots!" so great,but,in this one all of these characteristics had been used out of context and not well-used as the movies mentioned. Sure,this film has great jokes,some even clever,but all of them are in the trailer,so,my tip for you is watch the trailer,then watch this movie online till the great opening with "weird" Al,you will see all you need
