Not 'Airplane!', but very close

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2003)

'Top Secret' is amiable for a spoof, but is not in the league of "Airplane!" or the "Naked Gun" movies. The problem I had was with the leading role. Val Kilmer was terrible in this movie and "Real Genius", and he's mediocre at best today. I found a lot of the gags funny. I felt bad laughing at the "Nazis getting blown up by the Pinto" scene, for that's what happened to 3 Hoosier teenage girls when their wagon tapped the bumper of a Pinto. The explosion resulted in their deaths. (I don't believe the parents would be watching this movie more than once.) Still, a good time waster if your into ZAZ and spoofs in general.
