Two terrible lounge singers get booked to play a gig in a Moroccan hotel but somehow become pawns in an international power play between the CIA, the Emir of Ishtar, and the rebels trying to overthrow his regime.
Naive Lyle Rogers and more self-assured ladies man Chuck Clarke are a newly formed songwriting team based in New York. They are passionate about their work but are not very good at it, which they don't really realize. Their quest to be famous songwriters results in the end of each of their respective marriages. They are even worse at performing, which is what they feel they have to do to sell their songs. They decide to take the best of the all the bad offers presented to them by their agent, Marty Freed, which is to perform in a hotel lounge in Morocco. Their flight to Morocco is via its neighboring country of Ishtar. In Ishtar and then later in Morocco, both Lyle and Chuck are individually approached by a young woman named Shirra Assel, who requests their assistance on a matter which could possibly result in her death if they don't help her. In reality, she believes she is in possession of a map that would lead to an uprising against the ruling government of Ishtar, led by Emir Yousef. Her brother, who discovered the map, was killed by the Emir's men because of his discovery. She is trying to get the map to the leftist guerrillas that want to overthrow the government. Seeing her make contact with Chuck and then Lyle, CIA agent Jim Harrison gets involved as he is trying to prevent the overthrow of the Emir. As Jim believes that Lyle is working with Shirra and Shirra believes Chuck is a CIA agent, both Lyle and Chuck believe the other is indeed a political operative. But what Lyle and Chuck don't know is that both sides want to kill both of them in the belief that they both are working for the opposing faction, their deaths to be a minor casualty for the greater good.
If you are avid movie watcher you could have hardly have failed to notice that when lists are published, for say 'Hollywood's Worst Films' Ishtar never fails to make the top half dozen. This is a little unfair. Yes the movie is pretty poor but I have certainly seen a lot worse in more recent times with 'Burn after Reading' and 'Running with Scissors' being two that come immediately to mind. The film has taken on an almost cult status as indicated by its popularity as an internet download.If it was displayed in DVD rental store it would probably be categorized under 'Curios' because a curiosity is what it has become. Beatty and Hoffman are of similar age but Hoffman looked a good 10/15 years younger. A strong indication maybe that Beatty's chiseled good looks were fading fast. Isabelle Adjani looked as alluring as ever despite only part of her face showing under her Arab headgear. With her raunchy reputation preceding her it was with almost ironic self-mockery that she chose to reveal that she was a woman by exposing a breast rather than removing her headgear.Nice touch. There were not enough humorous scenes to match the one of Hoffman with the vultures which was delightfully underplayed. The bottom line is that it is worth a view if you have nothing else to watch otherwise strictly for the aficionados.
Lyle Rogers, a dimwitted songwriter befriends and partners with Chuck Clarke, who is only slightly more intelligent but every bit as untalented.
Together the duo dreams of becoming a big-time lounge act, but their songs, with titles like "That a Lawnmower Can Do All That," are unintentionally hilarious.
Chuck becomes suicidal, but just when it seems they'll never strike it rich, the boys are offered a shady gig at a North African hotel, entertaining U.S. troops stationed in the tiny nation of Ishtar.
On their way to accept the job, Lyle, Chuck, and their blind camel are sidetracked by a mysterious woman, and a scheming CIA agent, who are involved in a rebellion against the country's emir.....
With it being one of the most notorious turkeys of all time, and almost ruining a few careers, Ishtar is one of those film you just have to watch, no matter how many bad reviews there are, you watch it so you've experienced it, not for story or narrative.
Story wise, it's pretty sound, two wannabe crooners get caught up in a middle eastern conflict, it should have harked back to the old Crosby and Hope movies, but there's something really, really wrong about the whole film.
The switching of the Beatty and Hoffman personalities just doesn't work, especially seeing Beatty as a shy loner. Absolutely not. And when you can't familiarise with the two main characters, you begin to lose interest in the rest of the film, and this is only after ten minutes.
Once in the titular place, it becomes too incoherent, so many characters with different goals can make and interesting movie, but make the script a little fresh.
I admittedly laughed once during the film, and it wasn't to do with the blond camel, it was the compère announcing the act when Beatty was on his own.
But all in all, it does deserve its notoriety, it makes no sense, it's too dark to be a caper, and too boring to be an action adventure.
Next time Warren, don't do anybody any favours.
The guys in Ishtar are the boring wallflowers of the world. They probably shouldn't be mocked, disgraced and beaten, but who really wants to spend close to two hours with them.
