MacArthur Stern (Gene Hackman) is a grizzled veteran Washington D.C. police detective. His new partner Ellis Fielding (Dan Aykroyd) is brilliant and has multiple personalities. The duo investigates a West German politician, a series of murders, and yes... Nazis.
With Bob Clark, Dan Aykroyd, Gene Hackman and Dom DeLuise, I had some hope for this lesser known comedy to be good. The basic structure is a standard buddy cop comedy. Gene Hackman does a good job, but Dan Aykroyd can't do crazy here. Certainly he can't do it to get a laugh. Mostly he is ridiculous, doing a bad interpretation of the Road Runner. Both men are professional, and there is some chemistry. It's just not enough to give this a recommendation.
