In this outrageous comedy from the guys who brought you AIRPLANE!, Val Kilmer (in his feature film debut) is Nick Rivers, America's hottest rock idol-turned-super spy. Nick must race against time to save the world from destruction from the ultimate super weaponthe Polaris Mine. Packed with action, gags, and random musical interludes, TOP SECRET! manages to do for war epics and Elvis flicks what AIRPLANE! did for disaster movies.SPECIAL FEATURESGroup Commentary by Directors Jim Abrahams, David Zucker & Jerry Zucker; Producers Jon Davison & Hunt Lowry; and Moderator Fred RubinAlternate ScenesBookstore Backwards
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 'n' 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, Amazon.com
