Let's Get Harry (1986)

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Just saw this after 30 years. And it didn't bother me that back then I wasn't bothered by this movie. The story has potential to be a great one, but so many inexplicable things kept happening. Like how these guys can go from Midwesterners of no apparent fierceness and suddenly become international level guerillas. The acting wasn't really that awful, I particularly liked Duvall's and Busey's performances, and wasn't turned off by Jake Ryan's performance either, lol. (I did do many double/triple takes, when Jake Ryan throughout looks to be wearing the same red flannel shirt he wore in 16 Candles!!) We have Biff from Back to the Future, and the guy from Top Gun who always had his shirt off (in both Top Gun and this movie!!) I mean, it wasn't bad, it just got a little tedious and ludicrous and I took a smoking break a couple of times, so it clearly didn't keep me on the edge of my seat.

Hello, most people don't like this movie because it was thin in certain areas of the film, listen it's a pure guy movie with tons of action, comedy, and a good acting,not many 80's movies that were action had much story lines to them anyway, it's a feel good story about a group of midwestern men who find out the towns hero in many ways, has been kidnapped and the government wont lift a finger to help since Harry and the other captive aren't worth a rescue, but 5 guys decide they are gonna to go and rescue harry, this movie is a must see for any fan of action, good story, and lot of named actors, don't pay attention to the morons on here who wrote a bad review, what do they expect an Oscar award for this type of movie, it's a buddy, guy movie it's about not sitting by and letting your good friend be killed.while the government seems to not give a s***, if you enjoy a good action movie, with just a feel good story and plenty of action don't pass up this rare gem.

I was Robert Duvall's character coach or model in Harry. He attended my training camp in Alabama in September 1985 before going on down to Vera Cruz Mexico for the location filming.The major problem with the film was the director(s) and the editing. The actual script wasn't bad. One director quit, and the finishing director cut so much from the film that Duvall tried to keep it from being released, and the director ended up having his own name removed from the film and "Alan Smithee" (a name used to protect the guilty) credited as director.Virtually all of the training scenes were cut where the plumbers become commandos, and the character development went with it.Duvall wanted to make a good movie. The script called for his character to give a dying speech after getting shot. When he and I went over the scene, I told him after getting hit the way he was supposed to, he wouldn't be able to say anything. He played it that way.When I finally saw the film, I was surprised to discover that not only had Duvall followed my advice on how to dress, etc., but that he had adopted my own personal mannerisms and way of talking. He never said anything about doing that.I was disappointed in the final release, even more than most viewers. I know what's missing.Frank Camper

this is just another movie about the evil Colombian guerrillas and the brave American heroes. bloody as it can be the movie only portraits the "bad" part of a beautiful country. I don't think it is well done as a movie or that it shows in anyway the reality of a country like Colombia which, constantly improves and shows to be winning the fight against terrorism and drug dealers. I also find it extremely utopic and epic, yet it is your choice to watch it or not. The whole movie revolves around friendship, but it shows a lot more than that. Just know that Hollywood is not showing the reality of those third world countries and that those kind of movies offend many people around the world.
