Top Secret! (1984, Dir. Jim Abrahams & David Zucker)
American rock star Nick Rivers teams up with the lovely Hillary Flammond to escape capture by the East German High Command. They don't have long, as Rivers and Flammond must try to find her father, in order to stop him from creating the ultimate super weapon, known as 'the Polaris Mine'. A host of characters join them, including Déjà Vu and Chocolate Mousse.
'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.
"They'd have enough salt to last forever."  Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer)
