Travis (John Travolta) and Wendell (Arye Gross) are clubgoers who get hired and taken to Indian Springs, Nebraska to teach the town the modern ways of life before their first nightclub opens. They make big changes, because everything is stuck in the 50s, and soon are even dating two locals, Bonnie (Kelly Preston) and Jill (Deborah Foreman).

The only problem is that they aren’t in the U.S.

They’re in Russia, taken by KGB agent Cameron Smith (Charles Martin Smith) and used to teach Russian agents how to pass for Americans.

The Experts is silly fun and I was surprised to learn that it was directed by SCTV genius Dave Thomas. There’s also a great cast, including Brian-Doyle Murray, James Keach and Rick Ducommun. It was written by Steven Greene, Eric Alter (Hardbodies, Hardbodies 2) and Nick Thiel.

The Kino Lorber blu ray release of The Experts has a brand new HD master from a 4K scan of the 35mm original camera negative by Paramount Pictures, a new interview with director Dave Thomas and a trailer newly mastered in 2K, You can get it from Kino Lorber.
