Trivia
This movie was originally titled "Wet Stuff", but was changed because the producers were hoping with the re-teaming of Elliott Gould and Donald Sutherland they could tie it to the success of M*A*S*H (1970). This change was something that bothered Director Irvin Kershner. In an interview about this movie, Kershner said "I started to make a film that was a little black comedy, and I emphasized that it had no relationship to Robert Altman's MASH (1970), in which, of course, they'd been teamed so brilliantly. The original title was 'Wet Stuff', meaning blood, and the studio promised that there would be no attempt to compare it to MASH (1970) in the publicity. Because it wasn't like that. It wasn't that kind of freewheeling film. There was no time, nor the budget to do that sort of film anyway." Kershner also pointed out that this movie had much success in countries that hadn't seen MASH (1970), and comparisons weren't being made. "Now, there were many places where they hadn't seen MASH (1970), like parts of South America, Scandinavia, or Germany. In those areas they loved 'S*P*Y*S'. Actually, the film made a lot of money, and it got some great reviews in countries where it wasn't compared to MASH (1970)."

This Was Screened at Cannes???

Second lead pairing of Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland (Little Murders saw them together, but with Sutherland in a support role) after the wonderful MASH in what was meant to be some sort of funny spy spoof. Alas, there is no Altmann magic with SPYS and this one sinks like the proverbial stone.

They play a mismatched spy pair who are forced to bond when sold down the river by their various agencies and thereafter chase after some micro-dots. The two still appear to have a kind of improvisational energy, but the material they are dished up to deal with, wouldn't pass muster in an average Get Smart episode. I have to say that I'm surprised the usually very competent direction of Irvin Kershner seems to have gone completely walkabout during the making of this feature. Poorly choreographed and lit action and slapstick scenes! It's difficult to believe this is the same bloke who helmed The Empire Strikes Back 6 years later. SPYS is also lumbered with a terribly annoying musical soundtrack.

In terms of laughs most discerning viewers should find any of the Roger Moore Bond entries much more amusing. And as for spoofs, the later arriving Austin Powers or Johnny English (hell, even the Casino Royale with Peter Sellers) have it all over this clunker. I would love to have been a fly on the wall to see how SPYS was received at Cannes.
