A rich ne'er-do-well loses his job after being caught embezzling, and is given thirty days to pay the money back... He then goes home to his rich wife, only to discover she wants a divorce, with alimony....
After a while, his les than helpful psychiatrist puts the idea of killing his wife in his head, and he sets out to find a hitman... Eventually, he settles for a simpleton with gambling debts.... Unfortunately, the next day, he learns the insurance policy he took out on his wife is null....
He tries to stop the hit, but the simpleton subcontracted the work, as did the subcontractor, as did a litany of subcontractors, so he has to follow his wife to Las Vegas with a group of idiots to find the hitman....
Lots of frantic energy from the lead, which gets exhausting at times, but works out... Some characters play like college students who saw an SNL sketch & thought they could stretch it out for ninety minutes, but it also has plenty of Python-esque moments that get a good laugh....

So, the army's out looking for a lost space capsule, and find it with the astronaut missing.... Turns out, he's soaked up a lot of radiation, lost his mind, and can kill people by touching them, and the army has to find him before he gets too radioactive....
Also, a subplot about a pair of uncommunicative scientists who caused it....
Drags at points, but also has plenty of riffable moments, with an ending that defies suspension of disbelief!!

Two brothers, a pair of '60s mods ditch their haughty hippie party at a swank hotel, head back to their mansion, where they change into their poser suits & ride out on Harleys...
The next town over, they goad a car into running one of them off the road, a ruse to get the attention of some local Hell's Angels, who invite them to ride along, trade a girl for a pack of cigarettes, & talk about their next ride.... The two brothers talk the bikers into going to Las Vegas, where they plan to trick the bikers into starting a scene outside Caesars Palace while they rob the place...
The heist goes off without a hitch, but afterwards, everything that can go wrong does....
Remastered audio, mostly the music & sound effects, witch distracts from the dialog at times...
Lots of bikers misbehaving to fill the runtime, but starts getting tense toward the end, and the director makes good use of the dessert scenery at the end....
