Anyone else a fan of this film directed by Penny Marshall?
I remember being a kid and laughing at all the profanity.

I've always enjoyed that movie. Whoopi is hilarious in it.
Stephen Collins, though a gross pedo creeper, is handsome, as is Antony Hamilton in the the blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene while she's waiting in the restaurant for Jack Flash.

I always liked it, but still think Jonathan Pryce was the strangest choice for Jack.
Not that he was/is ugly, but they should have gotten a more age appropriate/better looking actor to play the spy (especially for such a small part).

I saw it in the theater when I was a teenager and laughed all the way through it. The scene of her in the spa and in the phone booth are particularly hilarious.

Loved this movie! I can remember renting it on video from the corner video store in Brooklyn. One of the best lines..."I'm a little black woman in a big silver box."
One of the best scenes is when Terry crashes the Embassy party as the entertainment in front of an insufferable Brit played by Tracey Ullman.

Flash was probably her best attempt at being a female Eddie Murphy, but that's really not saying much. Whoopi said she tried to tell them she wasn't the female Eddie Murphy, but they ignored her and tried to turn her into it anyway. She did do other movies around that time that were far worse, I'll give Flash that.

My favorite scene was when she was yelling at the cop about what she was doing on the dock. "what the fuck do you think I was doing down there, giving blowjobs to goldfish"?

Terry kept getting Soviet television on her computer.
Doug: Awwww. Why did you do that? It's almost time for Leave it to Brezhnev.
Terry Doolittle: No it's not. It's time for Gilligan's Goulag.

This is a great movie and from what I understand, a large majority of it was improvised.
I love the scene where some guys on the street are about to hassle her and then she realizes someone else is following her and it would be better to get fucked up with the street thugs so she calls them back by trying to entice them with, "we'll have a party... and we'll have some seeeeex."

Whoopi's comedy movies from the 80s (JJF, Burgler, Fatal Beauty) are all guilty pleasures of mine.
I still contend her as Oda Mae in Ghost was a genius comedic performance. Definitely the best thing about that movie.

(While in the spa, high from the truth serum) "What have you done to this woman? She looks terrible!" "That's a man."
"I found the frying pan and it told me to come down here and meet Van Halen, Van Morrison..." "Van Meter!"
"The key? The key is the key."
(Regarding her torn dress that was half eaten by a paper shredder) "I got moths. Huge, mutant, junkie moths."
