Top Secret!
Overview
Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker--of AIRPLANE! and NAKED GUN fame--wrote and directed this genre-hopping slapstick juggernaut which lampoons World War II spy films and Elvis movies, making many other satirical stops along the way. East Germany is planning a cultural festival, and invites rock-and-roll singer Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer) (but only after Leonard Bernstein can't make it). The festival, however is a mere distraction so that the Germans can launch a secret attack on a submarine fleet without being detected. Nick soon finds himself involved with the French resistance, encountering slapstick gags and film parodies every time he turns around.

Reviews:
"...In its own cheerful, low-pressure way, it's about as amiable an enterainment as you will find....I can't imagine a nicer way to lose a couple of hours." - 06/22/1984 New York Times, p.C10
"...Inspired silliness....[A] wonderfully wacky attitude that allows just about any kind of gag to come flowing in and out of the picture..." - 06/13/1984 Variety
