Top Secret! description In between the disaster movie satire Airplane! in 1980 and the hardboiled cop show parody The Naked Gun in 1988, the comedy crew of Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker put together a picture that's almost as funny as their better-known hits. Top Secret! sends up spy movies and cheesy teen rock & roll musicals. Val Kilmer stars as swivel-hipped American rocker Nick Rivers, a sort of blonde Elvis whose secret weapon is Little Richard's tune "Tutti Fruitti." On tour behind the Iron Curtain, Nick strikes blows for democracy overtly and covertly, with his music as well as his espionage skills. In short, this is a very, very silly motion picture. Some great gags, including a subtitled scene in a Swedish book shop, and an inspired bit with a Ford Pinto that not everybody may get anymore. (The Pinto, you may or may not recall, was notoriously prone to gas tank explosions when rear-ended.) --Jim Emerson |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Don't Waste Your Money |
| I loved the Naked Gun Trilogy, and Airplane had many funny moments .... but DO NOT BUY "Top Secret" without renting it through Netflix or Blockbuster, or heck, I'll give you my copy! This movie is soooooooo much slower-paced than the others mentioned earlier that I was literally nodding off at 10:00 PM! The gags were so weak that we actually found ourselves saying ... "Oh, there was a funny one". Unfortunately, that only happened about once every 15 minutes. How sad. If a movie is truly funny you don't sit there thinking back and saying when was the last time I laughed during this. Even at $6.99, I feel like I wasted my money. Learn from our mistake and save 90 minutes of your life (you'll thank us later)!!! | |
