The opening credits are set to a Beach Boys parody song about skeet shooting while riding surfboards. This movie is high art.
Patrick WillemsSep 4, 2017"I know a little German. He's sitting over there." 10 reasons why Top Secret! is better than Airplane!: 1. Spy movies are, like, far more fun than airplane movies. 2. Val Kilmer > Robert Hays. 3. That soundtrack is legitimately great. 4. The central romance…

Countless A+ jokes. Is this the greatest comedy scene of all time?
Will SloanApr 4, 2019'Tell me if there are any changes in his condition" (hangs up the phone) "He's dead." One of the funniest films of all time. Listen to me talk Spoof Movies (including this one) on THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB podcast

This movie has no right being this funny
Michael lovedTop Secret!Genuinely one of the best comedies ever made, it's rare for a comedy with as many jokes as this one to have 99% of them land. The amount of effort they went through to for simplest of jokes is astounding. 9.5/10
MovieDaddy likedTop Secret!Not as good as Airplane or Naked Gun, but done in the same vein and still very enjoyable. Over the top ridiculous comedy that holds up by todays standards.
- Jason Gilbert lovedTop Secret!
Unfortunate I had to wait until Val Kilmer passed before hearing people praise this movie for the comedy juggernaut that it is, but I’m damn sure glad I’ve finally discovered its greatness. Pound for pound one of the funniest movies ever.
Daniel Schaal lovedTop Secret!This movie is so dumb in the best way! I was crying laughing at parts and I can honestly say it caught me offguard how funny this was. If you like airplane or the naked gun movjes, you'll love this! 9.0/10
LivinginaHC lovedTop Secret!Genuinely one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. And Val Kilmer's never been so hot. Rest in Peace you sexy, sexy man. Convinced this was Austin Butler's REAL inspiration behind Elvis.

Despite the fact that this movie was released on 1984, I still had a blast even with my "modern" humor. I had a great laugh during the entire movie and I wouldn't mind re-watching it.
Mickerdoo likedTop Secret!Had some really good gags that made me chuckle. Jokes per minute were a little low for genre. Prefer Nielsen and Sheen in these roles.
Hank Jenkins lovedTop Secret!This was a lot funnier than I thought it would be, and can I just say that Val Kilmer (RIP) was so beautiful in this film 😍

This movie will cheerfully go for a laugh wherever one is even remotely likely to be found. It has political jokes and boob jokes, dog poop jokes, and ballet jokes. It makes fun of two completely different Hollywood genres: the spy movie and the Elvis Presley musical.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Jokes so stupid as to seem almost surreal, an amazing range of cultural referents and a smattering of genuinely witty conceits.

Top Secret! comes nowhere near ''Airplane!'' but in its own cheerful, low-pressure way, it's about as amiable an entertainment as you will find this summer.
