Took me longer than I prefer to admit before actually seeing this movie, even though I'm a huge fan of John Cleese and his work.. And I honestly had no idea who Kevin Kline even was before watching this. Winning an Oscar for best actor in a comedy was not normal in the 80's but he stole every scene he was involved it and he deserved it to say the least. Every actor did their job well and I can tell they had fun making this.
I read somewhere that the entire movie was written around the final scene with the truck and the "limey" sement.. How they turned a simple idea like this into a heist-comedy is beyond me but they made it work somehow, and it worked well.
This is an absolute classic!
