adonis98-743-186503 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. Top Secret! is one of 1984's most overlooked gems for sure, The Terminator and Ghostbusters but also Indiana Jones ruled that year but Val Kilmer's comedy spoof is hilarious and quite the film. Seeing a fight scene taking place inside a Saloon underwater pretty much will sold the movie for anyone who sees it. It's not meant to be taken serious for sure but this film was truly well directed and well developed and the actors did an insanely well job in it. Top Secret! is hilarious, insane and just a heck tone of fun in the end. (10/10)

BA_Harrison Jim Abrahams and David Zucker, the creators of Airplane!, bring more madcap humour to the big screen with Top Secret!, which stars Val Kilmer as rock and roll singer Nick Rivers, who becomes involved in a resistance plot to rescue a scientist being held captive in East Germany.Kilmer, in his debut, is surprisingly good, handling acting, comedy and singing duties with aplomb, proving without a doubt that he is a major star in the making; Kilmer is joined by a wonderful supporting cast which includes more established faces such as Peter Cushing, Omar Sharif, Ian McNiece and Michael Gough.Unfortunately, as talented as the cast are, the scattershot humour is far too random and wildly inconsistent to be a total success: for every laugh-out-loud moment (my favourites: a very silly dance routine, the novelty dog poop gag, the brilliantly executed Swedish book store scene, and the singing horse), there are dozens of others that will fail to tickle the funny bone.

I love it when the one skeet surfer wipes out and shoots down the airplane and when there's like a hundred people on the beach running with shotguns and surfboards.

wikipediacabal I can't believe I didn't see this terrific slapstick comedy decades ago. It holds up remarkably well. Since the story takes place in some alternate reality inspired by several different film genres, it still does not feel stale three decades later. Anyone from age ten and up would enjoy it today. Reviewers who criticized the lack of logic are seriously missing the joke. This sort of joyful craziness is usually only found today in the worlds of sketch comedy and animation. The audience for this picture needs to stay loose and accept that the film is about being funny and nothing more--and it's hugely successful. I appreciated the fact that gross-out jokes in the Farrelly brothers vein are kept to a minimum. There is some low humor but it doesn't dominate. Absurd sight gags and wordplay are the most common type of joke.
