Review of Top Secret! (1984) by Bradens584 — 20 Dec 2020
This type of parody truely is dead. And that makes it somewhat sad to watch the 1984 film Top Secret! Following a rock star who ends up embroiled in East German espionage, this movie spoofs every spy trope imaginable.
From the cliché love triangle, to stereotypical French names, this film is positively filled to the brim with absurdist humour. Watching it reminded me of Airplane and when I saw the poster, I realised it was made by the same people as Airplane.
There’s not much to say about the rest of the film, as it is purposefully bad. It isn’t great, but neither did it aim to be. And it’s still a hilarious watch.
