TOP SECRET! MOVIE REVIEW | 31:12 - 33:15
Top Secret! Movie Description:
Popular and dashing American singer Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer) travels to East Germany to perform in a music festival. When he loses his heart to the gorgeous Hillary Flammond (Lucy Gutteridge), he finds himself caught up in an underground resistance movement. Rivers joins forces with Agent Cedric (Omar Sharif) and Flammond to attempt the rescue of her father, Dr. Paul (Michael Gough), from the Germans, who have captured the scientist in hopes of coercing him into building a new naval mine.
Top Secret! is a 1984 American action comedy film written and directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker (ZAZ). It stars Val Kilmer (in his film debut role) and Lucy Gutteridge alongside a supporting cast featuring Omar Sharif, Peter Cushing, Michael Gough, and Jeremy Kemp.
The film parodies various film styles such as musicals starring Elvis Presley, spy films of the Cold War era and World War II films. The original music score was composed by Maurice Jarre.

This is one of my all time favorite comedies. Fantastic pick. The first time I saw this movie, since you asked, was 7 years ago when I was 22 living at an all-girls college with my gf. And yes it was every bit as nice as your imaginations can fathom, no joke. My gf was a film major and since I apparently knew more about film than her and half her teachers with no formal education I would sometimes sit in classes to pass time when I wasn't working. No one cared that I wasn't supposed to stay for more than 3 days, let alone 3 years. I was just allowed to go where I wanted. After sitting in on one of my gf's classes with some of our friend's as well we used the projector to watch Top Secret which was the first time I saw it, on a bigass 20 foot screen. -If you were curious, because it was an all-girls arts school, yes, half of the students were lesbians. I've never seen so many lol, but I made a lot of friends there, some real ride or die homies.

"I love when someone says something smart and enlightening and then just does the opposite of that". Then you would've loved it when I was 11 and my brother was 12 and we were walking along a sidewalk while he was telling me what I should do, if a dog was chasing me. Him: "Don't run! It'll make the dog run after you. Instead, stand still and relax completely. That's what they said on TV". Less than 10 minutes later, 2 dogs came around the corner ahead of us and ran straight towards us (yes, seriously. Never happened to me before or after this). I froze at first from 'shock', but once they came closer and I noticed they didn't actually seem threatening or aggressive in any way, I relaxed and just continued to stand still. My brother however immediately turned to run in the opposite direction and both dogs ran past me and after him, LOL. Well, not 'after him', I guess. They were just running that way and that happened to be the direction said brother was running as well, but still. It's the nr. 1 biggest "do as I say, not as I do" experience of my life xP.

When the hotel owner found out that Omar Shariff was getting a room, he went downstairs and said, "Mr. Shariff will never have to pay for a room here." Then Shariff moved into a room and never left, except to do small roles in things. :)

It's amazing they were able to get Omar Sharif to appear in such a comedy. This is Doctor Zhivago, Che Guevara and Captain Nemo as well as appearing and starring in many a costume drama, or adventure or bible movie. I'm 60 so I'm familiar with his work for decades and when I saw Top Secret in the theaters when it was release (I was already a huge fan of Kentucky Friend Movie and Airplane), seeing Sherif crushed into a cube was sheer bliss. To many of today's younger audiences seeing this on television, I'm afraid Omar Sherif is an unknown. By the way, the German commander that boarded Nick Rivers' train at the start of this movie is played by the actor who played Dim in A Clockwork Orange. As the voices are so different from one another, it took my decades to make the connection. Also, the actors who play the blind gag salesman in the alley and Hillary, the female lead, both are in this movie one or two years after appearing in the Royal Shakespeare Company's eight and a half hour hit The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby that can currently be found on DVD and is a powerhouse of great acting. the airplane pilot at the very end of the movie was also from this production.

The man who kept getting pranked by the souvenirs, novelties, and party tricks was Omar Sharif. When Top Secret was filmed, Omar Sharif was a respected, award winning actor. Part of the humor was that it was Omar Sharif just being in this film. Also, in 1984, Germany was still East Germany (communist) and West Germany (NOT communist). The Berlin wall was still a thing.

The other awesome relevant scene I didn't see shown here was the Ford Pinto. The Pinto was notorious for blowing up or catching fire when struck from behind in an accident. Thus, the German halftrack slams on the brakes in an attempt to avoid it and barely dings the bumper and blows up. That was the best relevant 1984 gag in the movie.

The year this came out, one of my friends showed up at a Halloween party in the funniest costume ever - as one of the male ballet dancers from Top Secret!

My favorite part of this whole movie is the nightmare sequence when he thinks he's back in high school all over again.

This was one of my favorite movies when I was a little kid, and it kept getting funnier every time I saw it because the older I got the more jokes I understood. :D

The younger generation won't understand the truck tapping the back of the Ford Pinto. But at the time this movie was made, everyone knew what that joke was all about.

I watched so many of these when I was too young to understand the references, jokes, and double entendres. I love thinking back and comparing how I processed / justified them
