Funny Stuff!

Steve Martin is Master Sergeant Ernest Bilko, a man who has his hands in every nook and cranny of the Army base that he is stationed on. Dan Ackroyd is the bumbling Colonel Hall who is oblivious to Bilko’s gambling racketeering which is a good thing since it makes it easier for Bilko to work around him. Enter the smarmy and sarcastic Major Colin Thorn (the late Phil Hartman), who has it in for Bilko. Thorn was sent to Greenland because of a fixed boxing match back in the day, a fight of course fixed by Bilko. Now it’s payback time and Thorn sets out to burn Bilko once and for all with humorous results. Glenne Headly turned in a notable performance as Bilko's long suffering girlfriend Rita Robbins and there is a cameo of Chris Rock. It’s funny stuff! If you’re a fan of Steve Martin then you’ll like this.
