Product Description

Steve Martin stars with Dan Aykroyd and Phil Hartman in an outrageous comedy, Sgt. Bilko. The invincible Sgt. Ernie Bilko (Martin) is the leader of a ragtag group of the sorriest soldiers ever to enlist in the armed forces. Instead of training his troops for battle, he passes on his legacy of gambling and shunning responsibility. Times get tough however, when the base is threatened with a shutdown and a by-the-book adversary, Major Thorn (Hartman), is intent on taking Bilko's reputation down with it. Now, all bets are on Bilko to drum up his biggest scheme yet to save Fort Baxter and clear his name!

Customer Reviews

It’s all in the fire control and elevation board.

This film has the feel of a TV show and the personality of today’s (1996) actors. And who would better to select a Master Sergeant Ernest G. Bilko than Steve Martin? I just do not know why the military did not want to participate in the making of this movie! Fort Baxter, on the surface, looks like Colonel John T. Hall (Dan Aykroyd) is running it. Yet in reality, the Fort is being controlled by Sgt. Bilko. Sgt. Bill Bilko is a schemer and always has some sort of racket going. His crew takes part in his nefarious goings-on. However, Major Colin Thorn (Phil Hartman) is on a mission to blunt those little schemes and is determined to expose them. The big showdown comes with a demonstration of the Hover Tank. Can Major Thorn expose Bill Co. and also show that Colonel John T. Hall is just his puppet? Meanwhile, in his scheming, Sgt. Bilko almost marries (several times) Rita Robbins (Glenn Headley), his sometimes co-conspirator. Will she ever be able to corner him? The movie is fun to watch over and over, as you feel like you want to kibitz each time.
