Mission: not so impossible ‘Spy Hard’ fizzles as summer spoof

By Melissa Mills Lifestyle Reporter

You might spy hard, but you might not laugh too hard at this spy flick. Although "Spy Hard" does have some funny scenes, there are only a few that can cause some really hard laughs. Co-produced by and directed by Rick Friedberg/'Spy Hard"features a bad guy, General Rancor (Andy Griffith), as a guy with no arms. And, Dick Steele (Leslie Nielsen), as a good guy with no brains. The plot? The armless guy and the brainless guy match wits. Steele, a.k.a. Agent WD-40, was The Agency's top spy way back when. But during a confrontation with the evil General Rancor, Steele's fellow agent and true love Victoria Dahl (Stephanie Romanov) literally slips through his fingers and plunges to her death. Steele leaves The Agency. Rancor is believed to be dead. But he doesn't die; he just loses his arms. Fifteen years later, Rancor turns up again as evil as ever. He takes Victoria's daughter Barbara Dahl (Stephanie Romanov) hostage and will only release her if he is given a microchip that will allow him to control the world. And that means only one thing. Steele is the only one Who can save the vorld and rescue Copyright 1996 Paramount Pictures the younger Dahl in doing so.
