Boris and Natasha: The Movie is a 1992 live-action movie based on the Rocky and Bullwinkle villains Boris Badenov (Dave Thomas) and Natasha Fatale (Sally Kellerman).The plot involves Fearless Leader being after a time-reversal chip being made in America. After wanting to send Agent X on the mission, Agent X suggests sending Boris and Natasha first as patsies. While on their mission, Natasha becomes fascinated with America, especially after learning from neighbor Toots that in America, women are treated equally with men. Natasha eventually becomes a fashion model and celebrity, and there's some development of a romance between Boris and Natasha.Directed by Charles Martin Smith, otherwise known as Toad from American Graffiti. Also included in the cast are Thomas's former SCTV castmates Andrea Martin and John Candy.See also The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle, another (mostly) live-action adaptation of the same source material.

The Artifact: This movie was originally intended for a theatrical release before being on Showtime instead, but the opening scene has the narrator referring to the movie tickets.

Blessed with Suck: When Paulovitch realized that the time reversal chip could cause trouble if fallen into the wrong hands, he tried to have it destroyed, only for it's own effects to save it from being destroyed.

Latex Perfection: Boris and Natasha's neighbors are revealed to be Secret Agents Moose and Squirrel. Assuming the implications that they are Rocky and Bullwinkle (and not some other enemies who they refer to by those names), they clearly look human, with no signs of them wearing disguises. Although they do state they were "surgically altered once again."

The Reveal: Boris and Natasha's neighbors end up being Secret Agents Moose and Squirrel, "Surgically altered once again". Agent X is Willie, the government worker who convinced the skeptical authorities to play along with Boris and Natasha's claims to defect, and the man following him is Kreeger Paulovitch, evil twin of Professor Paul Paulovitch.

Cut Lex Luthor a Check
 Boris and Natasha / int_9fbf8969
comment
Cut Lex Luthor a Check/ Reed Richards Is Useless: Averted. Professor Paulovitch invents a time-reversal chip which detects danger, sending people a few seconds back in time before the disasters happened. When he figured this would be a problem if the invention fell into the wrong hands, he tried to have it destroyed, only for it to keep reversing and saving itself. Paulovitch then decides to make many copies and send them to every country, in the hopes of ending war and bringing peace to the world.

We Are Not Going Through That Again: At the climax of the movie, Boris uses his last stick of dynamite to destroy an entire crate full of the time-reversal chips, which rewinds time back to the beginning of the movie. At which point he and Natasha decide that they don't want to go through all that grief again, so they hock the Macguffin they had with them in the first scene and use the cash to retire to Tahiti.
