The Army is known for churning out lean, mean fighting machines intent on protecting our great nation. But at Fort Baxter, there's one unit that can t even form a straight line ... Steve Martin stars with Dan Aykroyd and Phil Hartman in an outrageous comedy from Imagine Entertainment. Martin is the inexplicable, the incorrigible, the invincible Sgt. Ernie Bilko, 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!

Bilking the Bilko - 3.25 out of 5 (6/7/2001)
In the realm of television remakes, I'm sure that SGT. BILKO must have
seemed like a good idea at the time. Certainly it was a genius-casting move
to make Steve Martin the new Bilko, but this might have been one of the
symptoms of the failing of the movie. It all comes down to something that
happens far too often in remake movies. You miss the target audience.
If you speed up the movie to match today's frenetic pace, you risk
offending the people who loved the classic. On the other hand

Not bad comedy. Needed more edge. - 3.75 out of 5 (10/31/1998)
Great comedic performances by the leads (although Hartman was kind of wasted in pretty much the film's only serious role). Great transfer, good sound.

Steve Martin has never been funnier..... - 4.5 out of 5 (9/27/1998)
Sgt. Bilko was highly overlooked when it was first released, I think. It recieved too many negative reviews, when I found it to be one of the most funniest movies I had seen at the time. Steve Martin displays his huge comic talent as Master Sgt. Ernie Bilko, who can't say no when it comes to gambling and money. The late Phil Hartman also stars as Bilko's long time nemisess, Col. Thorn. Hartman made numerous funny performances, and this is one of his best.
I'm glad to see this film on DVD and
