Pretty good in this movie, even though it is an older movie. I thought he was kind of a smartass in it though. Chevy Chase was also pretty good.

Hello, world.

I really wish he and Chevy would have done a few more movies together. They made a great team. I have a hard time counting "Nothing but Trouble" as an Aykroyd/Chase movie. Caddyshack 2 doesn't really count either.

Yeah he really was good in this. Leonard Maltin even said he liked these two together and we can see why.
I guess they both had a lot of films to do, but like I stated before, it's strange that "nothing but trouble" turned out to be the next thing they both starred in with a lot of screen time.

So: a realistic, down to earth show..which is completely off the wall swarming with magic robots?!

I agree that Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase should have done more movies together. I can visualise those pair making a whole lot of buddy comedies together. 'Spies Like Us' is a good laugh. I've rated it 7/10.

My favourite Dan film is Ghostbusters. Not seen this in a long long time, used to be one of sister's favourites. Gonna revisit it again soon - if, for nothing else, the lead actors who were genuinely sexy.

i remember him stating he had some project for the both of them, but who knows if it would ever get made these days.
