That being said it does require a little knowledge of movies in general or many of the jokes will fall completely flat. For example if you've never seen True Lies the entire middle Chase sequence on the horse threw the hotel will make absolutely no sense. And if you've never seen Sister Act you'll have absolutely no idea why all these nuns are singing pop music.

It particularly parodies the Bond films but the alert viewer will spot comic references to many other franchises including Mission Impossible, True Lies, and Speed.
The formula for this sort of parody is even older: it dates back at least to the mid sixties when Mel Brooks brought out the TV show "Get Smart" starring Don Adams as Maxwell Smart, which spoofed the spy thrillers of the 50s and 60s in the same way that "Spy Hard" spoofs those of the nineties. But Leslie Neilson and the makers of this film had a much tougher job to make the comedy work than Mel Brooks and Don Adams: the sixties show was spoofing films which took themselves more seriously, where by comparison "Spy Hard" was taking off films which themselves included a large element of self-parody.
To work this film has to be about one level more ridiculous than the films of which it is a parody, Too similar and it won't be distinguishable from the tropes it sets out to parody: exaggerate too much and it will descend into slapstick farce. To the credit of the cast they largely get this balance about right, though in places they go over the top.
My favourite section of the film is actually the theme sequence performed by "Weird Al" Yankovic at the peak of his form.
If you like well crafted parodies, you will very probably enjoy this film.
