Hey, remember that movie that played constantly on Comedy Central about a decade ago? No, not Half-Baked, National Lampoon’s Vacation, or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. That’s right. Top Secret! is now re-released on a special "I Love the 80s" Edition of the DVD.
The brain-child of Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker, the people behind Airplane! and The Naked Gun, Top Secret! is a double-header parody of both Elvis movies and war movies, featuring American rock and roll star Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer in his first movie) traveling to East Germany to give a concert. Through a series of unfortunate events, he gets caught up with Hillary Flammond (Lucy Gutteridge), a member of the East German resistance, who is trying to break her father (Michael Gough) out of prison with the help of her comrades. As the film-makers wholeheartedly admit themselves, that’s about as far as the plot goes.
