When I saw that Tim Curry appeared in the credits I knew that this was going to be crap . I'm sorry if I'm upsetting both of Mr Curry's fans by saying this but I'm afraid his talents begin and end with pantomimes . He usually drags a film down when he's asked to play a villain , but to be charitable I do confess that TC isn't only the bad thing about McHALE'S NAVY - Everything is bad
There's nothing worse than listening to people who think that they're clever or funny , except maybe watching a movie that thinks it's clever or funny . Admittedly I doubt anyone who produced it thought they were making THE USUAL SUSPECTS but what made them think this was going to raise a laugh or make money at the box office . There's a scene where a couple of good guys talking to a prisoner in a cell , guess what happens ? There's a scene with a guy in a diving suit that is expanded with too much air pressure and there's a guy standing behind him with a lit cigar , guess what happens ? There's a scene with navy SEALS and you know how special use cameo on their faces ? Well here they've painted their faces as tigers and Groucho Marx in a scene so unfunny I thought it'd been written by Karl Marx . Obviously this is the kind of movie that got made because somebody had friends in high places . Hopefully this movie lost a lot of people a lot of money
