I saw this movie in 87 at the theater , i almost walked out .. but it did pick up mo mention when they got to Ishtar, glad i stayed to the end it turned out to be pretty funny movie.
Most appropriate for the upcoming Iran war. This looks to me like CNN is starting the yellow dog journalism, a prelude to get the American public up in arms. And I think @2:00 I see CNN embedding journalists
You have great taste. This was an awesome movie! I always loved this song. Beatty and Hoffman were so hilarious in this. I saw this when it first played the Writer's Guild West. The audience was rolling in the aisles. The critics go this one wrong...and sadly America lost out and so few people got to see this in the theater.
I am one of the few people on the planet that liked the movie and the songs. My wife can't stand the songs. She would rather bite nails. I thought the movie was really good in a toungue in cheek sort of way. I haven't seen the girl in any thing else. I really get a kick out of the songs. Who doesn't like to laugh. I love the part of the movie when they shoot the shoulder rocket and the grenade launcher and the guy says they are armed to the teeth.
@Mr2muchtimeonmyhands I sooo agree! I guess you just have to have a certain sense of humor...me and my mom laughed till we cried...and still do when we talk about it...my favorite is shoo shooo go away not dead yet...lol (at the vultures) There were sooo many good one liners.....nooo we did not shoot at two americans in the desert ...we did not....lol....truly a classic!! And You gotta love the Blind camel!! hehe :)

I just wish they would finally release the bloddy soundtrack! Rumour has it, they even shot a music video featuring the blind camel! I wonder if that photo at 0;58 is what the music video was supposed to be like? It looks very Paul Simon/You Can Call Me Al ;-)
Exactly..i heard what the critics said, but found it totally hilarious. As a musician myself, I've played with many similar talents and have even made equally mediocre tunes.

Great job! I love Ishtar. And you just know 90% of the people who trashed this movie over the years never saw it.
