Top Secret!

HKFanatic

"Airplane" may have set the formula but for my money "Top Secret!" represents the zenith of the Zucker Brothers' particular brand of comedy, with gags tossed at the viewer at least once every 30 seconds. The entire production is anchored by a man-pretty Val Kilmer's turn as the charmingly lunkheaded Nick Rivers, an American crooner granted an array of authentic sounding pop tunes. Worthy of 'favorite comedy' status.

In my opinion, TOP SECRET is funnier than AIRPLANE. I don't know why. I found the jokes are more amusing. TOP SECRET has some humors that is difficult to imitate. The Pac-Man and that Peter Cushing scene is perhaps one of the best moment in cinema history. Val Kilmer was amazing in his first acting debut. Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker really knew how to entertain their audience. And they never fail...

10/16/18 - DVD - This is a comedy due for rediscovery. The plot is a zany blend of espionage films, film noir, war epics, teen sex romps, and Elvis movies. The Zuckers and Abrahams' brand of live action Looney Tunes humor was at its peak in terms of creativity. There are ingeniously creative sight gags at every instant made even more hilarious by the straight faced sincerity from the cast.

Demenziale a tal punto da sfociare in qualche sbadiglio, il film è trashissimo, con qualche citazione e conseguenti sberleffi, insomma qualche sketch geniale e spunti memorabili lo riesce a offrire. Far ridere non è certo facile e quando ci si appoggia al nonsense i maestri inarrivabili sono ben altri (qualcuno ha detto from England?) rispetto ai fratelli Zucker, o meglio al trittico contando Abrahams.

An hilarious romp with some inspired unique sight gags.

The Janitor Joke is a classic!

Kind of like Von Trier's EUROPA, but more politically and morally sensitive.
