- Pissed Off PapaMay 11, 2025I don't care what those woke ass critics say, John Belushi was great in this movie and we cant forget the iconic scene with Slim Pickens and his ride. this is just a great comedy movie about how Japan was going to try and attack Calif during WWII.

- 11bravoOctober 13, 2025All the cinematography, set, costume and score you'd expect from a Spielberg movie. Loaded with Comedy legends. But def a dud.
- nicpedersonAugust 24, 2025Nothing about this film is good.. It’s disjointed, clumsy, awkward, far-fetched, not funny, and has a really dumb plot. And somehow, it even made John Belushi look bad.
