Amazon.co.uk Review
In between the disaster movie satire IAirplane!/I in 1980 and the hardboiled cop show parody IThe Naked Gun/I in 1988, the comedy crew of Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams and David Zucker put together a picture that's almost as funny as their better-known hits. ITop Secret!/I sends up spy movies and cheesy teen rock 'n' roll musicals. Val Kilmer stars as swivel-hipped American rocker Nick Rivers, a sort of blonde Elvis whose secret weapon is Little Richard's tune "Tutti Fruitti." On tour behind the Iron Curtain, Nick strikes blows for democracy overtly and covertly, with his music as well as his espionage skills. In short, this is a very, very silly motion picture. Some great gags, including a subtitled scene in a Swedish book shop, and an inspired bit with a Ford Pinto that not everybody may get anymore. (The Pinto, you may or may not recall, was notoriously prone to gas tank explosions when rear-ended.) --IJim Emerson, Amazon.com/I

 Top Funny December 23, 2007
'Top Secret' is one of the comedies from Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker. During the years they have brought the wonderful 'Airplane!', the very funny 'Naked Gun'-series, two 'Hot Shots!'-movies, 'Jane Austen's Mafia!' and 'Rat Race'. This movie belongs in that list of very funny movies. It is not as good as 'Airplane!' or the first 'Naked Gun' but it comes close.br /br /Val Kilmer is Nick Rivers, an American rock n' roll singer, who comes to East-Germany. To tell you the truth I can't remember really why he did that, but of course that doesn't matter very much. In East-Germany he meets Hillary Flammond (Lucy Gutteridge). Her father is imprisoned by the East-German regime and Nick wants to help Hillary to find him back. The movie is not really about the plot but to tell more would reveal some very funny surprises.br /br /A lot of movie references will pas during the movie, the most obvious are probably from 'The Blue Lagoon' and all the Elvis Presley musicals. It is a little hard to explain the movie but consider a scene where Nick and Lucy want to hide. They pass a closet that says "Janitor", you see them in almost every building. They open the closet and behind the door we see the actual janitor in a very small space. They close the door and enter a room that says "props". In the room we see actual props. There are many of those scene and most of them work. I had a good time watching this.
How silly can you get ? September 21, 2007
Need a good laugh ?br /br /This film is so fantatic, it is one of the funniest films ever.br /br /Airplane Naked Gun make all the headlines, but there are scenes in this film that are some of the most hilarious ever made.br /br /The swedish bookshop scene is filmed backwards, so they sound swedish, and has been mimicked by advertisers ever since.br /br /Don't watch this film if you have your serious head on, make sure you are in a light giddy mood, and you might even find you laugh so much that a little bit of wee comes out.br /br /
Great obvious straightforward laugh a minute! April 19, 2007

A 'cult classic' is what we're talking about here. At the time, and even now, some just won't get it.br /br /It is interesting that Airplane!, which came before, and The Naked Gun, which followed, were huge successes and this is probably because they were more disciplined parodies of highly recognisable genres. Here, though, as in The Kentucky Fried Movie where they began, the team just let ideas run wild. Although more surreal, this is no less funny and at times is probably the best work they've done.br /br /The songs are sublime, from a razor-sharp Beach Boys spoof to a reworded Are You Lonesome Tonight? turned into an advertising jingle. The dialogue sparkles, the jokes are terrific and the fact that Val Kilmer is taking it so seriously (he always does - and this actually makes the film funnier now that he is so well-known) just adds to the brilliance.br /br /Who can forget the city map turning into a Pac-Man game, the giant pigeon statue or the scene with Peter Cushing, filmed entirely backwards - a scene which was ripped off by an advertising campaign for Tennants Pilsner which must have lasted a decade?br /br /Of course, today many of the targets sent up will perhaps have been forgotten. Who now remembers Midnight Express, The Blue Lagoon, any number of cheesy Elvis, World War II and Cold War movies...perhaps even Pac Man itself?br /br /The fact that it's so brimming with ideas will just be too much for some viewers, like a cake that's too rich. Others will be in comedy heaven.
The best Zucker Abrahams film of all January 5, 2007

Contains many of the funniest gags I have ever seen. There are some cracking verbal gags. I cannot praise it highly enough. My kids love it and so many of my contemporaries rate this as a classic. Alas not everyone gets it. Viva la difference...I love it!
