The humor in this
Chevy Chase comedy lies solely in the eyes of the beholder. The comic plays Eddie Muntz, an arms dealer looking to make a big sale of war planes to a South American dictator. In order to do so, his girlfriend (
Sigourney Weaver) has to sleep with the dictator and his friend (
Gregory Hines) has to be convinced to do one more killing. Eddie's archenemy is Stryker (
Vince Edwards) who wants to make that deal himself and will stop at nothing to obtain his ends. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
