Stripes (Unrated Extended Cut) description Bill Murray was heading toward a career peak on the back of comedies such as this one from 1981, the second film in his ongoing collaboration with director Ivan Reitman (the two went on to make Ghostbusters).

| This early farce from Murray, Ramos, and Candy might still be their best, and joins the ranks of the few light-hearted comedies (such as Francis in the Navy) about life in the military. Each turns in a fine performance, and Warren Oates is also great as the drill sergeant, himself a great character actor who passed away after a distinguished career shortly after the film's release. Sean Young would later go on to star in Bladerunner. The hiliarious parade ground scene is worth the the price of the film by itself, as well as Murray's comment, "No, but we're willing to learn." (I won't spoil the surprise by revealing the scene but you'll know it when you see it). The idea of a field test of an urban assault vehicle (which looks like a big Winnebago but bristling with weapons) careening from misadventure to misadventure when our heroes decide to cross the border into the eastern bloc, provides plenty of opportunity for comedy and adventure, and the whole caste looks like they're having a blast. As someone said previously, the test of a good comedy is that it's still funny on repeated viewings, and this is one of those that's still worth your time and money.
