Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Bill Murray was heading toward a career peak on the back of comedies such as this one from 1981, the second film in his ongoing collaboration with director Ivan Reitman (the two went on to make Ghostbusters). Murray plays a chronic loser who joins the army and fails to find a fan for his ironic sensibilities in his by-the-book sergeant (Warren Oates). When push comes to shove, however, the smirking hero takes charge of his ragtag unit and turns them into fighting machines, albeit to the rhythm of hit songs by Manfred Mann and Sly Stone. The film is occasionally funny, but it mostly plays like any one of a dozen underachieving comedies featuring players from Saturday Night Live and SCTV. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - my private review mach 5
I can relate to this movie STRIPES because i was in basic training in feb of 1981. the film was made 2 months before i got there my platoon sgt and staff sgt were extras in the movie. its a great movie
Rating: - Great Classic movie with extras
I have always loved this movie. When I found this Unrated version with some cuts that never made it in the original, I bought it. It's worth every penny of the low price I paid. This is one of those movies you can watch over and over again. I also bought it to allow my nephews to watch it. They've never seen this movie and I know they'll love it.
Rating: - Stripes
Stripes is a great movie! I think i like it best because it has Bill Murray in it.
Rating: - Is this new DVD worth buying ?
We already have over 100 reviews here of this very entertaining movie.
What we need now is for someone to give a complete description of what has been added to this new UNRATED EXTENDED CUT DVD so we can decide if it is worth it to buy this new version.
Rating: - Very funny, even though I have watched it like 100 times so far
Perhaps one of the funniest movies ever. Loved it and it is highly recommended. Bill Murray is one of my favorite actors and he's brilliant in this one. John Candy death was definitely a big loss as he was a great actor and acted very well in this movie. You'll like this.
