| It was 1985, songs still had lyrics and the bigger your hair the more popular you were.
One of the few movies capturing the 80's feeling with a great story line and future actors taking their first bow in movie world.
Set in the cold war era, it takes the viewer on a rollercoaster ride through Paris and Germany.
With a balance of adventure, action, comedy and a bit of a love story it becomes an alltime favorite.
Jonathan Moore(Edwards) plays a naive all American student on a trip to Europe with loosing his virginity as his first priority.
He gets played by an experienced operative (Fiorentino) in more ways then one and ends up being chased by CIA & KGB for carrying spy information across the border.
Back on his own turf he controls the game and falls back on his skills as paintball wiz to let the bad guys take the fall.
Excellent music of the time with Frankie Goes to Hollywood & Nick Kershaw to name a few.

| If you want a flash back to punk rock, traveling Europe with no money and trying new pick up lines, this has it all. I especially love the 'you look like Bambi' reason he couldn't get a girl. Truly a murphy's law movie and if you haven't seen it, you don't know what you're missing. Anthony Edwards was perfectly cast as an inexperienced youth trying to find his way. |

| What a flashback! My cousin and I watched this movie the summer I was 13, and we spent the rest of that month constantly quoting the scene from the restaurant (avec de l'eau!) and laughing hysterically! This is just a great fun movie, and I am so happy to see it's finally on DVD. I'll be sending it to that cousin for his birthday and I know he'll love it! |

| I enjoyed this movie for two reasons. One, I was stationed in West Berlin during the final years of the Cold War and had personal involvement with Checkpoint Charlie, the Berlin Wall, and watching Mig aircraft flying overhead. Number two, we watched them film some scenes with Anthony Edwards and Linda Fiorentino (hubba hubba!) on Mehringdamm right below the windows to our barracks rooms! It was really cool watching the movie at the Air Force theater across the street and recognizing scenes where they filmed. This is a fun movie, and it makes me wax nostalgic for the "good ol' days" when we knew who the enemy really was... |
