Top Secret is the underrated ZAZ movie with a devoted cult following. It is Val Kilmer’s film debut and also features Omar Sharif and Peter Cushing. It’s a Cold War spy movie spoof. A major plot point requires a passing familiarity with Blue Lagoon, otherwise it pretty much stands on its own.

That actors name is Lloyd Bridges & to us older folks he's considered one of the great actors of our generation. Although the shocker for us was, Lloyd Bridges was known for dramatic work. We didn't know he could do comedy. (There were several dramatic actors dropped in to shock us, it worked) & Both actors, Beau & Jeff Bridges are his sons. The sons did a film together called "The Fabulous Baker Boys" w/Michelle Pfeiffer. 👍

'92 in the Navy we had a helicopter attached to our ship, the call sign was Red Specter. We'd refer to the crewmembers personally as Scarlet Sphincter. Good humored fun. If you enjoy Val Kilmer in a equally funny movie, check out 1984's Top Secret!

The welding scene was a reference to _Flashdance_ . Valeria Golino even resembled Jennifer Beals.

[@StealthMarmot_]

I love the fact that the call signs of the pilots in this move are actually closer to real life accurate than Top Gun. In the actual Air Force/Navy, the callsigns are almost always inside jokes that make fun of the pilots. They would get something like "Polka Dot" if they got caught in a picture wearing a polka-dotted thong.

This movie takes aim not only at Top Gun but also a lot of other movies from the 80s and early 90s. The hut scene in the beginning was from the movie Dances with Wolves. The piano singing scene was from the movie The Fabulous Baker Boys which ironically stars Lloyd Bridges 2 sons Beau and Jeff Bridges. The food sex scene is from the movie 9 1/2 Weeks. A few more I may have missed but you’ll get the jokes better if you’ve seen those other movies. Hot Shots 2 takes aim at other movies too but I won’t spoil that one for you guys

The best part about these movies are, as you mention, Old Serious Men playing complete buffoons.

Oh my goodness, I haven't seen this movie in ages. So funny and hilarious, as is its sequel. If you want to see another great 1990s spoof movie, try "Down Periscope" from 1996. You might gather by that title, that it's a spoof on submarine movies. Hilarious too.

[@andrewszigeti2174]

Hilarious, just not quite in the same way as Hot Shots.

[@JinxedPixie88]

Adding my vote for Down Periscope. It's Kelsey Grammer's first big screen showing (before then he'd been only on TV), and it's a brilliant ensemble comedy.

[@peterrogulla7726]

[@CDRhammond]

Naval aviators live by their callsigns both in the air and on the ground. Sad thing is "dead meat" could actually be a naval callsign if the officer had a bunch of prior close calls that had it been any worse ended with a fatality. Callsigns in the navy tend to come from 3 different things. They can be based on an officer's hometown or last name, they can be based on an officer's personality but most commonly a new USN aviator will earn his or her call sign after suffering an embarrassing situation. In the TOPGUN movie Pete Mitchell earned his callsign of "Mavrick" based on the type of personality he had. I'd bet good $$ on how "Goose" got his and it was most likely that he had a bad encounter with an angry goose that ended up chasing him around in front of some of his buddies. In the second movie his son gets the call sign of "Rooster" because he liked to sit up on a perch like a hawk waiting for that perfect moment to move in. He often would sit on that roost for far longer than he should have which could not only cost him his life but also very well could end up ending the life of his other squadron members flying the mission with him.

[@AshXXMayftw]

I can't imagine having the opportunity to act in a parody this crazy. Of course, you'd need the right acting chops, but being able to act out such weird and fun scenes in a movie that doesn't take itself seriously would be a blast.

Maybe the most surprising thing about this movie is how good the flying sequences are.

[@albertsampson6568]

The sitting on the dog i think is the best joke in all of the movie. Like he said, someone getting hit off screen will always be funny. To me, the dog reminds me of the cat that screams off screen. Classic humor and completely innocent. They picked the perfect bark for that dog too. I swear I could watch this movie thousands of times and laugh at something every time. Timeless movie.

[@foljs5858]

The "sensual singing on the piano" is a parody of The Fabulous Baker Boys (a movie of the time with Jeff Bridges and his brother Beau Bridgers - incidentally their father plays Admiral Benson here). The "sex involving food stuff" scene is a parody of 9 1/2 weeks, a very famous hit movie from the late 80s, with Mickey Rourke (then a hearthtrob) and Kim Bassinger (then considered the ultimate Hollywood bombshell). And of course Admiral Benson is a parody of 2021-2023 era president Joe Biden.
