An 80's Chevy Chase film that I had

An 80's Chevy Chase film that I had never seen, and to be honest I could've went without. It was weird to see him in this flick, it just didn't seem to fit him. It says it's a comedy but that's honestly the one vibe that I did not get from the film. Hines & Weaver were good adds but this, this film was a complete miss. But the dangers of arms selling, now that was on point.

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.
