Dick Steele, Agent WD-40 (Leslie Nielsen) is assigned by his director (Charles Durning),to stop the evil General Rancor (Andy Griffith) from destroying the world. WD-40 believed Rancor was dead and he teams up with the hot KGB agent Veronique Ukrinsky (Nicollette Sheridan) to find Rancor and save the world.
The brainless "Spy Hard" is another spoof with Leslie Nielsen in the lead role in the same style of "Naked Gun". There are gags with James Bond films, "Speed" an "Home Alone". Unfortunately the style of Jim Abrahams and David Zucker is only reasonable and the film is not as funny as should be. My vote is five.

Another Spoof with Leslie Nielsen
Leslie Nielsen continuing the formula , this time like a crazed international Agent
Leislie Nielsen again , he plays a super Agent , Dick Steele , finding in retirement , he's called for a new mission . He'll fight against General Raucov (Andy Griffith) for world control and being only helped by a beautiful spy (Nicolette Sheridan) .
The picture is the usual ¨spoof¨ or parody featured by Nielsen with similar lunatic characters , quirky roles and strange elements of the predecessors ; thus , it is surrealist , hilarious , extreme and sometimes gross-out . There're gags each fifty seconds . The film is formed by innumerable comical set-pieces and a myriad of unimaginative parodies where the wacky humor and laughs are continuous . The pioneers of these kinds of comedies are the popular trio ZAZ (Jim Abrahams , Jerry Zucker , David Zucker) but here the formula is a little worn-out . The amusement and fun result to be for finding out the numerous cinematic references that successively appear , such as : the credits title of ¨James Bond¨ movie , ¨In the line of fire¨ (Nielsen playing Clint Eastwood lookalike),¨Pulp Fiction¨ (like Travolta),¨Sister Act¨(performing a nun , Woopy Goldberg alike),¨Speed¨ , ¨True Lies¨, ¨Die Hard¨, ¨Home Alone¨ , ¨Dennis the Menace¨ (where acts the same kid , Mason Gamble) and ¨Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid¨ in which acting Paul Newman-alike and riding his bicycle , he plays a bewildering scene under Burt Bacharach music with smile to roar with laughter . Besides , there are several cameos and special interventions as Pat Morita (recently deceased ),Mr.T (as A-Team member) , Alexandra Paul (Baywatch) , Hulk Hogan , Robert Culp , Fabio.. The motion picture will appeal to absurd and unruly comedy enthusiastic.
100% stupid--and sometimes I think we need a film like this!!
Okay, this isn't the most intellectual comedy ever made. Okay, it really is a stupid comedy--I'll have to break down and admit it. It's even stupider than the NAKED GUN movies or HOT SHOTS--I'll even admit that. However, despite it being so doggone stupid, it did make me laugh and that IS important. Plus, while this film isn't great by any stretch, it is (thank goodness) a lot better than some of the truly awful comedies starring Leslie Nielsen--such as REPOSSESSED--which I nominate as one of the most unfunny films in history! The bottom line is if you need a laugh, this film will get it unless you are dead or a lawyer.
