Spies Like Us has to be my favorite spy movie. It's great because it ruins all the suave and swagger that a spy should be. Good thing is that in its own way it has the girls, world ending scenario, gadget (mobile tech vehicle), and soviet counterparts.
The film features Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Steve Forrest and Donna Dixon. Basically there are two government workers in the State Department. One guy that is overly qualified in the intelligence area but not in the social arena. (Akroyd) Another guy that has to cheat on his re-up exam to keep his job (Chase). Neither alone are particularly stellar but as a team they seem to find the right formula. They didn't have any cool gadgets other than the RV which was a mobile command center.
There is a plan to stop the Russians from Launching some missiles at the US so the government sends them as decoys for a real team. The real team goes bust and its up to them but they launch the missiles. Meet the hot girls, make love to the hot girls in a well the world is ending type deal and then miraculously save the world.
Totally 80's and totally awesome.
