    not really a fan of spoofs... but this had some cracking original jokes and id put this in the realm of straight up comedy due to me enjoying the skits so much.

    dont ask me why kilmer is in this... but i think it might of worked???

    the backwards scene... great!

    Tremendously under rated comedy from the geniuses behind Airplane. Kilmer is just plain freaking funny.

    I find myself very fortunate to have seen this movie, since not a whole lot of people talk about it. It has Zucker and Abrahams written all over it. Some of the humor in it is literally too stupid to laugh at. The big payoff gags make it worth sitting through. I would have to say my favorite part is when the guy dresses up in the cow costume and gets mounted by the bull. That is pure hilarious. I'm pretty sure Val Kilmer was mostly unknown at the time, but you can see that he has potential, even in a plotless spoof movie.

    I love this movie; it's so ridiculous! A comedy about Nick Rivers, an American patsy, used by a french spy organization. This movie has such odd-ball humor; it's terrific and stupid! I love this movie and highly recommend it for a good laugh.

    The long last ZAZ spoof, from the director/writers trio who gave us "The Naked Gun", "Hot Shots", and "Airplane". The three absurdist comic savants, produced one other spoof after airplane but before "The Naked Gun" with "Top Secret!".

    An America...(read more) n pop star, is invited to sing in East Germany, but the evil "west" germans???, are conspiring to use the concert to take over both sides of the country, and only Val Kilmer and his constant Elvis songs and imitations can save the day?

    Well the Zaz guys were never big on plot, if youve seen the type of film they are spoofing you should be well aware of the conventions, which is maybe why this film is as little remembered as it's peers, it's attempting to spoof multiple "genres" at once.

    Ive never really seen any of the old Elvis musicals, so alot of the humor in the musical moments falls flat, and confuses, when your waiting for more spy and espionage gags.

    Not quite as good as their other more well known films, but good viewing for those interested in the mile a minute, absurdist visual gags and slapstick and vernacular jokes that only these guys could do, after Woody Allen and Mel Brooks the comic torch for the 80's passed through the hands of the trio Zaz, where it continued on past Kevin Smith and the Wayans to Judd Apatow and co, and beyond.

    Oh and it was funny too.

    This was just a crazy movie, a mad series of vignettes about dunging bad guys and armed terrorists, offensive on many levels, but really for the time, a funny cold war riff.

    In my opinion, this is one of the ZAZ team's best spoofs. The music is fun to listen too, the slapstick humor is very enjoyable, and the humor is easy to follow as long as you have one.

    Funny movie in the style of the Naked Gun films. Perhaps a little dated with early '80's references.

    Very unusual movie. Has a very inconsistent style and tone, but still occasionally quite funny and enjoyable.

    The 'Airplane' team are at it again with this hilarious espionage comedy starring Val Kilmer and a host of guset stars including Omar Shariff and Peter Cushing.

    Very average when compared to naked gun, hot shots and airplane, I think it was due to Val Kilmer being in the lead as he just wasn't funny..at all. Otherwise a typical timekiller.

    A great example of the gag-a-minute philosophy, though it does get a bit too risqué for the very young audience.

    1984 sure was a good year. Not only was I born then but it was also the year that gifted us great comedies such as Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop and Police Academy. Among said classics was also this one, Top Secret, a spoof flick by the creators of Airplane, that truly puts today's parody films to shame (yes, I'm looking at you Epic Movie, Date Movie and Meet the Spartans).

    I mean, call me crazy, but it seems all good comedy writers either died off or retired during the 90's, and thus left their thrones to lesser talents, whom now has come to plague us with an overexcessive use of slapstick, cheap under-the-belt humor and poorly written jokes. I wonder if we'll ever see the glory of old restored.

    'Top Secret' was released when the spoof movie genre was popular, especially with the released 'Naked Gun' and 'Airplane' series. Val Kilmer provides a wonderful performance as Nick Rivers and really shows in his film debut, what a star he will become. Unlike a lot of today's spoofs, the jokes are actually funny, and will get you laughing out loud. The supporting cast is fantastic too, with a lovely appearance by Peter Cushing. 'Top Secret' further establishes David Zucker as the king of spoofs.

    Val Kilmer's first movie is also one of the funniest movies from Zucker (Jerry and David) and Jim Abrahams. I'll type s'more laters.

    This is the best absurd comedy movie ever made. I always compare new comedies to this one, and hasn't been defated yet.
