I swear, not lying, I was at a car show this past Sunday, and I heard playing on the radio in the distance, Soulfinger. I told my friend, 'It's Soulfinger, by the Barkays' -blank look on her face, not a clue. I said, 'they must be having trouble getting gigs'.
If you think libraries are useless, well, I'm here because of the library! I took my daughter to find some books to read. We stopped in the DVD section, and I was trying to make my kids more interested in the library by saying, "Look at all the movies they have!" This one jumped out at me; I had actually forgotten about Spies Like Us, but remembered watching it a number of times when I was a kid. So I borrowed it from the library... and now I'm here looking up memorable scenes. Oh, and it's due back tomorrow.
I remember watching this movie when it came out, a senior in high school, Summer of ‘85...Man America was SO MUCH BETTER THAN IT IS NOW...People were so much better.
I'm a line manager in a small but busy office and sent this to my protege (my right arm!) today because she was SO far ahead of work I honestly couldn't think of anyting else to ask her to do, then told her to take Friday off. She's the best.
My God, if Austin Millbarge can code break the enemy's conversation with a dragon's decoder wheel from a box of Lucky Charms, he should be a) running NASA, b) running the whole defense department and running Ford, GM and Chrysler all at once.
Check out the Styrofoam container for the McDonald's quarter-pounder with cheese. From what I've been told, that Styrofoam container is still in the bottom of the desk drawer in the basement of the Pentagon.
Possibly the best scene of any movie I've watched that completely captures every douchebag boss that anyone has ever had. Brilliant!!! What about that red Chinese radio chatter? ---It's done. Here you go. Done? That was a static-filled, triple-scrambled, microwave transmission between two soldiers talking in Mandarin Chinese! ---Well the Chinese were only using a simple polyphonetically-grouped, twenty-square-digit key, transposed from boustrophedonic form with multiple nulls. I broke it with this. A Drogan's decoder wheel? They put these things into cereal boxes for kids! ---Yeah. I found it in a box of uh....Lucky Charms.

Perfect! LOL

What if you told her: "you wanna go out with a bang?" 😉
Wow and your guidance counselor told you that you'd never amount to anything!
That actor played the most perfect, smug, arrogant, military bureaucrat ever.
Stephen Hoye. He also played one of the bully, xenophobic cops in Nightbreed.

Unable to find the song on UA-cam ?

I feel like Austin everyday.
You just watch your mouuuuuuuuuth, mister
Aw, man. Lucky Charms and the Disney Channel. I always loved this scene. Great freakin' movie.

Early Fall of 1985 for me....and I was a Senior back then. Class Of 1986.
Well obviously, this military douchebag wasn’t better 😂

Having worked with a number of careerist naval officers, the Captain’s attitude and behavior aren’t exaggerated in the slightest.
A pal who was with the coasties said the same thing while he and I watched this some years ago. "Fuckup moveup"

"I've greased the House Committee for covert appropriations. They think the funds are for stealth bombers."
He later become "Mother" in Sneakers (1992)
Austin Milbarge for President !!
yeah, but Aykroyd is Canadian
I love this fuckin' movie. Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase headling a movie directed by John Landis back when people gave a shit.
Don't forget that Landis was a card carrying commie
Most underrated comedy of all time, so much brilliant stuff. The "Test" and "Surgery" scenes are epic, some of the funniest shit ever on film.
@@jaykay6387Chevy “ cut the sucker “
I'd love to have my office in the basement with no one else around. Sounds like heaven.....
@Donald Donald What?! Since this movie came out I thought this was the actual Pentagon basement....my whole life has been a lie
This guy doesn't belong in a captain's uniform, he belongs on a country club board.
I don’t get how this film gets low ratings at rotten tomatoes 🍅 when it is actually such a brilliant satire!
Because people can't read between the lines. But I assume we in eastern Europe appreciate such a movie much more.
@@daliborzak2485 it's also a good illustration on the importance of education and critical thinking.
Because RT often has the credibility of a lampshade.
Great scene! What a boss for such a brilliant guy!
"Break it down again with the machines." The BEST sample EVER.
Fucking brilliant movie.
Yesssss I love this dude him and Chevy were like tequila and hunch munch best combo💕
The soldier’s voice reminds me so much of Andrew Scott’s Jame Moriarty
I was going to do your family a favour and hook up the Disney channel, for free.Well, forget it.
thank you SO MUCH man. I've been looking for the name of that song for a LONG LONG time!
