Nick Rivers an American 50's Rock star is invited to perform at a festival in East Germany. Throughout his stay he falls for a charming young lady, Hillary, who's involved with the French Resistance because of her scientist father being captured by the Nazis. Nick then suddenly finds himself caught in this conflict and goes out of the way to help Hillary and the French Resistance free her father.
Well, I simply adore this broad and terribly ridiculous skit-riddled spoof by the comedy team Jerry & David Zucker and Jim Abraham. Nothing is safe (especially stereotypes), where the 50's Rock n Roll era (Elvis flicks); Espionage films and Hollywood Movies (such as Blue Lagoon and Wizard of Oz) hit mocksville. But while rock 'n' rolling with the Nazis, it also manages to poke fun at itself along the way, because really it's just one big joke with the little ones feeding off it. The lively premise is simply unhinged with a wild range of rapid-fire gags (the under-water saloon brawl being my favourite) and crazy musical segments, which are loosely tied to the thin central story. It doesn't wallow on about things, as there's always one joke after another, which mostly comes off and if not, it's quickly forgotten. Plus you got little diverting actions going on in the background behind the main dig, which can raise smirk. Amongst the many droll wisecracks in the script, are some smart jibs.
A very young looking Val Kilmer makes his big screen debut and passes with flying colours. His appealing persona is more then credible, as the rock heartthrob Nick Rivers (which clearly is a parody of Elvis Presley). Sharing the screen with him is the very lovely Lucy Gutteridge and a risible turn by Christopher Villiers. In enjoyably short roles are Michael Gough, Omar Shariff and the unforgettable Peter Cushing as a Swedish bookstore owner.
When watching it, I mightn't have been always laughing out loud, but at least this rollicking spoof manages to provoke a wry smile on my face.
