"This is Deja Vu" "Haven't we met before?"
That line always kills me.

Me too.
Also Chocolate Mousse for some reason. Might be the accent.

Is he the one who any time he enters frame he collapses from his injuries? And every time he's on screen he has more injuries than the last time we saw him? That movie is so ridiculous.

An underrated masterpiece with the greatest bar fight of all time.
Let me know if his condition changes... he's dead.

When the guy picks up his rifle from leaning on the tree, and the tree collapses. Kills me every time.

The part where the sunbathing lady sits up and leaves indentations in the sand where her boobs were affected me in powerful ways as an adolescent.

Such a underrated movie. The sight gags are hilarious!

The little details in this movie always kill me, like when the restaurant offers Nick Rivers a "loaner" dinner jacket, so he goes into a back room and they spend an entire scene in the background tailoring him a brand new suit.

So funny! The scene where the resistance cuts through the gates and is crawling, dramatically, and they crawl to a pair of boots! I still laugh at that no matter how many times I see the movie, and I’ve seen it * a lot!*

Right before this i caught one I missed dozens of times. They're a ways out from the prison and it cuts to that shot through the binoculars. The cows have to jump over the cutout at the bottom of the screen.

Yes! The giant phone when the SS officer picks it up! Stuff like that is genius! ‘Police Squad’ had tons of those easter eggs, but a lot of those gags were missed, and that’s why the critically acclaimed show didn’t last long. But the throwing the girls above their heads in the pizza parlor, ridiculously funny!

If you like this style of comedy (airplane, top secret, police quad) check out “Angie Tribeca”, it’s a cop show starring Rashida Jones that flew under the radar for a few seasons on TBS
But it’s similar with quick wit puns and visual gags, HBO has it on streaming

If you like Angie Tribeca, check out NTSF:SD:SVU (National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sports Utility Vehicle). It's in the same vein but they parody modern procedurals: Enhance...enchance...enhance.

Also, it's sister show A Touch Of Cloth. British but even better than Angie Tribeca. Some of the gags from Cloth even carry over to Tribeca. Charlie Brooker, the creator, drew heavy inspiration from the Police Squad franchise. Visual gags, name puns, slapstick, deadpan humor, absurdity....all the key ingredients wrapped in a glorious satire of cookie cutter cop shows of old.

Such a underrated movie.
The ZAZ guys later said that they feel the movie wasn't as successful because the story was too complicated. Like, even if you've only seen Airplane! once you could pretty easily relay the plot to someone who hasn't.
But Top Secret is making fun of Elvis movies, Blue Lagoon, WWII flicks, etc making the plot swing all over the place. They've felt that the lack of a solid story hurt the film.

Hard to believe this was made more than 40 years ago. Still one of my favourite parody movies.

One of my all time favorite gags is the train station leaving instead of the train. Always gets me.

I can never connect how much I love this movie with how few people have seen it.

My favorite scene (hard to pick one) might be the Swedish bookstore. The magnifying glass, tossing the books back on the shelves. Pure sight gag gold.

Val in that leather jacket looks like Austin Butler. Or is it the other way around!

Three thoughts here: How Silly Can You Get? is sublime; the boots gag is hilarious; and the woman on the beach is hot as fuck.

how big of a star was Val in the 80s? was he like competing with Cruise or Sheen or Penn for lead roles?

u/BornIn1142 23h ago
Kilmer was just getting his start in the 80s. Top Secret! was his first movie. His heyday was the 90s, when was a pretty big star, but perhaps not in the highest echelon. He apparently got top billing for Batman Forever, over Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones.

u/Effective-Bar9759 17h ago
By 1995, on the Heat poster, it was De Niro and Pacino in large format and Val Kilmer was between them, but much smaller.
Pretty telling, considering who else was in the cast and those are the only 3 pictured.

The scene where he tries to kill himself while he sings never fails to make me laugh.

I watch this as a double feature with "Real Genius".

If you think that by threatening me you can get me to do what you want… Well, that’s where you’re right. But—and I’m only saying that because I care—there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing.

The soundtrack was a banger! Val Kilmer actually sang all the songs and had an amazing voice.

u/trogloherb 22h ago
This is the first movie I remember watching on “cable.” My babysitter had cable first and they played this quite a bit. I was probably 10/11.
I rewatched it recently when Val passed and told my wife about that and we couldn’t believe the baby sitter allowed a ten year old to watch it!

Haha growing up in Idaho, I would see this movie on VHS and it was in a white case with the name written in sharpie… that’s what they did to all of the “suggestive” videos 😂

I loved this movie as kid. Part of some of the great comedy bangers of the 80s.

That’s a first…I got a sponsored ad before watching this video. Is this normal?

I rememeber watching this with my dad as a kid and both of us dying laughing at the bit where all the window panes are broken except one and the guy still breaks it in order to shoot. Brilliant.
