S*P*Y*S (1974) Trailer

[Flodderinbelgie]

Why does the man who dubbed this trailer sounds very uninterested?

[Friedkin01]

@Flodderinbelgie It's a parody of the PA announcer from M*A*S*H.

Even the title has the asterisks like M*A*S*H.

I saw this over summer vacation when I was ten years old at the local matinee, tickets were $1. Didn't remember anything about this film except the scene where they went dance down the road.

Exciting narrator.

[AdamqK]

@Zeanu the narration is a ripoff/homage to the tannoy announcements from MASH. If you've ever seen that one, you might remember the final credits were done that way. I think they were trying to evoke memories of that, much in the way that they put the asterisks/bullet holes between the letters of the titles.

[Zeanu]

@AdamqK Uhhh... yep. Still. EXCITING narrator. Do you not agree?

If Gould and Sutherland were gonna make crap like this,

they should have taken the TV roles in the series M*A*S*H.

[paiaam]

this is my favorite movie.

when i was a kid , i saw this movie in persian.

I saw it on UK TV when I was a kid too.

Something about the partnership between Gould & Sutherlund just worked. A buddy movie that is funnier than ANY of the Lethal Weapon films for example.

Donald Sutherlund also starred in a British produced action comedy 'The Trouble with Spies' - not as good but it is worth tracking down.

i found the tape of trouble with spies for five bucks a couple years back. if i can ever get the hang of uploading stuff i'll have to put that movie on here.

Not only Gould's an accomplished actor-to say the least-, he is a VERY sweet guy.
