Val Kilmer stars in this parody of WWII spy movies in which an American rock and roll singer becomes involved in a resistance plot to rescue a scientist imprisoned in East Germany., A parody that spoofs WWII spy flicks and 1950s rock-and-roll romps., An American rock and roll singer becomes involved in a Resistance plot to rescue a scientist imprisoned in East Germany., Nick Rivers is an American rocker with a secret weapon, his rendering of Little Richard’s Tutti Frutti. With Nazis planning a sneak sub attack under the cover of a cultural festival, Nick steps in to help the good guys save the world. Spoofs and spooks from the masters of the genre., Jim Abrahams and David Zucker’s follow-up to Airplane is this equally funny spoof of spy films, with Val Kilmer as a rock singer who becomes involved in a plot to liberate a scientist being held in East Germany. The gags, puns and visual jokes flow thick and fast and if one doesn’t raise a smile, there’ll be one along in a second that does., Nick Rivers is an American rocker with a secret weapon, his rendering of Little Richard’s Tutti Frutti. With Nazis planning a sneak sub attack under the cover of a cultural festival, Nick steps in to help the good guys save the world. Comedy., When an American pop idol is sent to the Soviet Union on a goodwill tour, he quickly becomes engangled in espionage in an attempt to rescue a brilliant scientist held captive., The second of Zucker-Abraham-Zucker’s theatrical-feature spoofs (Airplane was the first, discounting the patchwork Kentucky Fried Movie), Top Secret! lampoons practically every film genre. Specifically, however, this is a hybrid of an “Elvis” movie and a World War II “underground resistance” thriller. In his film debut, Val Kilmer plays Nick Rivers, a Presley-like American rock idol sent behind the Iron Curtain on a goodwill tour. Before long, he is involved in a complex espionage scheme thanks to beautiful Lucy Gutteridge, the daughter of a scientist (Michael Gough) held captive by the Communists. Also essential to the action is flamboyant resistance leader Christopher Villiers, who behaves like Victor Mature in Betrayed (1954) and talks like James Mason. Adhering to Z-A-Z’s cheerful disregard for people, places and events, the East Germans are depicted as Nazis, while the Underground is comprised of Frenchmen. The plot is mainly an excuse for the Z-A-Z team’s fondness for joke-a-minute lampoonery, skewering cinematic targets ranging from The Blue Lagoon (1980) to The Wizard of Oz (1939). As in Z-A-Z’s other efforts, Top Secret! scores its biggest yocks when invoking cliches that we never realized were cliches-and falls on its face whenever attempting a too-obvious gag (the biggest clinker: that pigeon statue in the park). Everyone has his or her favorite bits in this film: our faves include the resistance fighter named Deja Vu (“Haven’t we met somewhere before?”), Kilmer’s horrible nightmare while being tortured (he arrives too late to take final exams), the army-booted cow, the sensitive Pinto, and the East German National Anthem, sung to the tune of the Shorewood (Wisconsin) High School marching song. But let’s say no more: comedy of this nature is designed to be seen, not written or read about., A spoof from the makers of ‘Airplane’ in which a US rock star sets out to entertain the culturally deprived inhabitants of East Germany only to become involved in international espionage, with a little help from the French Resistance.
