If I try to do so, I can see how much of Stripes now seems dated. So many of my opinions toward it are wrapped in sentiment and nostalgia that it can be difficult to view it on its own. Because of that, it becomes tough to objectively critique the flick. I was 14 when Stripes came out and I always loved it as a kid and young adult.

The movie follows their training and initial deployment to Europe, most of which are played strictly for laughs. The guys also get to know squadmates like tubby Ox (John Candy), dimwitted hick Cruiser (John Diehl), stoner Elmo (Judge Reinhold), and intense Psycho (Conrad Dunn). Along the way, they meet sexy MPs Stella (PJ Soles) and Louise (Sean Young), both of whom they’ll later romance. Off they head to basic training under humorless hardass Sergeant Hulka (Warren Oates). Down on his luck, John decides he and Russell need a change, so he convinces his pal that they should join the Army. His buddy Russell Ziskey (Harold Ramis) teaches English as a second language to adults, which is a new job.

Murray plays John Winger, a cab driver whose girlfriend (Roberta Leighton) leaves him due to his lack of ambition and consistent screw-ups. Though not as big as later efforts like Ghostbusters, Stripes did quite well and established Murray as one of the most successful Saturday Night Live alumni. Though the flick provided Murray ample support from many other talents, it definitely put him at the fore and became his movie to make or break. In 1981, Stripes gave Murray his breakout flick as a lead actor. He also participated in 1980’s very popular Caddyshack, though he acted as a supporting character in that ensemble piece.

Two friends who are dissatisfied with their jobs decide to join the army for a bit of fun.Īvailable Only As Part of 6-Film “Columbia Classics Collection Volume 2” John and Russell, with Stella and Louise's help, will have to show their true mettle as US army soldiers and in the process test the capabilities of the EM-50 to rescue their platoon without the rest of the US army knowing what's going on, and thus without any assistance beyond themselves.Review Archive: # | A-C | D-F | G-I | J-L | M-O | P-R | S-U | V-Z | Viewer Ratings | Main In the process, the rest of the platoon, Hulka, and Hulka's immediate superior, self-absorbed Captain Stillman, get caught unofficially behind enemy Communist lines in Czechoslovakia.

John and Russell decide to take the EM-50 for an unauthorized test drive to visit Stella and Louise who have been reassigned to West Germany. But what happens during basic leads to their entire platoon being assigned to an overseas mission in Italy, to test a new urban assault vehicle, the EM-50 project. Their entire platoon is in jeopardy of not graduating. Two of their saving graces are Stella and Louise, two MPs who get them out of one scrape after another. However, it is still John that is constantly butting heads with their drill sergeant, Sergeant Hulka.

In basic training, they are only two of a bunch of misfits that comprise their platoon. At the end of a very bad day when he realizes his life has gone and is going nowhere, John Winger is able to convince his best friend, Russell Ziskey, whose life is not much better, to enlist in the army, despite they not being obvious soldier material.
