Deal of the Century may not rank among Chevy Chase's best films, but its great cast and comedic content make it worth a watch

I recently watched Deal of the Century (1981) on Tubi. The storyline revolves around an arms dealer who seizes a lucrative opportunity when he encounters a South American dictator. Pushed to sell cutting-edge weaponry, he becomes relentless in pursuit of his goal and won't take no for an answer.Directed by William Friedkin (To Live and Die in LA), the film stars Chevy Chase (National Lampoon's Vacation), Sigourney Weaver (Alien), Gregory Hines (Running Scared), and Wallace Shawn (The Princess Bride).With a classic 80s comedy vibe, a stellar cast, and a premise reminiscent of Best Defense, Survivors, and War Dogs, the comedic elements are a bit cheesy but generally hit more than miss. The expo scenes are outstanding, the flamethrower sequence is impressive (flamethrowers are always captivating), and the ending is satisfying. Gregory Hines' plane finale stands out as well.In conclusion, Deal of the Century may not rank among Chevy Chase's best films, but its great cast and comedic content make it worth a watch. I would give it a score of 5.5/10 and recommend viewing it at least once.

Sexy Weaver

The film itself (in content) is pretty much for the chickens. But Sigourney Weaver looks really sexy in this strip, which is almost rare for her. That's why the film is worth not just watching it once.
