Top Secret (1984)🤯📼First Time Film Club📼🤯 - First Time Watching/Movie Reaction & Review

[@scottybelle9]

Those of us who love Top Secret! are a special breed.

[@tdgreenbay]

My momma always told me I was special even before I drove the short bus to school

[@Songfugel]

It isn't strange at all why people don't know about this movie, it's Top Secret

[@skylab14]

I agree. ..... I remember going to the cinema to see it back in the 80's when I was in high school. It's still funny to me today.

[@shioriryukaze]

[@cesarvidelac]

Guys, this is the second day in a row watching this and other of your ZAZ reactions. You have no idea the amount of trouble my life has right now, aside from the pandemics. After finishing, I actually cried a little and not from laughter. You actually are saving my life, I sincerely love you both for being here. Thanks so much

[@dunbar9finger]

My favorite line is when he throws down the dead messenger pigeon and says "a traitor in our midst", and Deja Vu looks at the pigeon saying, "I see you have dealt with him appropriately!".

[@thehalfeatendoughnut1798]

Hi guys. I'm watching from the UK. Emily, your laugh is so infectious, and Mathew, the strain on your face when attempting not to burst into hysterics is excruciating. With 'The Naked Gun' still to come, you ain't seen nothing yet.

[@ydenneki]

A few more fun facts: 1) Val Kilmer did all his own singing in this movie. 2) they actually used the head mold of Peter Cushing they made for this movie and laser scanned the interior of the mold to make the digital mask they used to 'resurect' Grand Moff Tarkin for 'Rogue One, a Star Wars Story', 21 years after his death. The studio recieved permission from his family to use his likeness in the film, but only had 2D images to go off until somebody remembered the mask still existed.

I love how parody movies like this just ramp up the absurdity towards the end, with the visual and word gags coming a mile a minute like that underwater bar fight scene.

[@axeman3d]

The sight gags in this one are probably the best in all their movies.

[@RobinMarks1313]

I'm only here because Top Secret is one of my favs. Underrated.

[@williamvesey3679]

The Man Who Knew too Little, starring Bill Murray, is another movie most people have never heard of, but is hilarious sendup of the spy genre.

[@johnnyrasputin4819]

It is still truly awesome how they filmed that whole Peter Cushing scene backwards. Truly Magnificent!

[@oougahersharr]

Discovered you because of Top Secret. I've been waiting for a long time for someone to review Top Secret. I love you guys! And I am very appreciative that Matthew literally gives nothing away. I've seen other couple/ group reactions where one knows what's coming and inevitably spoils something or hypes it up. Mathew doesn't do that. Thank you. :-)

[@kettle_of_chris]

With all due respect to your husband, Matthew: I love your laugh! Watching movies with the two of you would be a lot of fun!

[@simonpsychosis2812]

Two things I love about this channel: 1. Matthew's face, when he knows something funny/horrifying is about to happen. 2. Emily's extremely infectious laugh.

[@Yngvarfo]

A few things. They got some really big stars in this. First of all, the spy who ended up crushed in the car was played by Omar Sharif, known from huge films like Dr. Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia. And the bookseller from the weird backwards scene was Peter Cushing, known from the old Hammer horror films, but you'd probably know him best as Governor Tarkin in Star Wars. Many years later, long after Peter Cushing had died, Star Wars brought back Governor Tarkin in Rogue One. Top Secret was a great help to them, because there was a cast of his face for the weird prosthetic, and they used that to recreate his face digitally.

[@dunbar9finger]

Val Kilmer actually sang the songs in this. That's his own voice. He's not lip syncing. (Well I mean he is but only in the sense that all music videos are done that way, with the artist recording their song in a studio first then later lip syncing to it when filming the video.) His performance in this is what landed him his serious role later in the Doors movie. They knew he's good at singing as well as acting

[@Grethrey123]

Apparently when the movie The Doors came out, surviving band members listened to the soundtrack and said they couldn’t tell the difference between Kilmer’s voice and the actual recordings of Jim Morrison, Kilmer was just that good. So sad what’s happened to him now

[@georgezee5173]

I didn't know he even sang the songs himself! He definitely is very talented, and did a very good Elvis-like impression during the musial numbers. Actually, he eventually played Elvis in the movie "True Romance".

Never in the history of cinema has an audience been subjected to a more concentrated torrent of jokes, gags, and bad puns. There is no reprieve. It never lets up from start to finish. It is the Zucker brothers' magnum opus of silliness.

[@CTallant]

Top Secret is one of my all time favourite movies 😆

[@chrisleebowers]

"It's lesser known, I don't know why" It bombed on release. It wasn't the easiest movie to market. A lot of the posters just featured the cow, which, out of context, is still funny but doesn't tell you anything about the movie. It's a weird spoof: It's an Elvis movie, but it's also a spy movie that's Cold War and WWII at the same time. Airplane is easier to wrap your brain around: it's a spoof of disaster movies. Elvis movies and WWII spy movies were passe by that time, whereas disaster movies were enjoying massive BO popularity. "If you had to choose..." My favorite of their's is "Kentucky Fried Movie" just because I'm a martial arts fan and "Fistful of Yen" is one of the best Hollywood martial arts comedies ever. But out of all the rest of their movies, Top Secret is my favorite because I feel like it had the most creative and inspired ideas. There may be funnier moments, but their high point as innovative, comedic film-makers were the backwards scene and the underwater fight scene.

[@DarthJedi7783]

The jokes come rapid fire in this movie and her laugh is incredible. Thank you for reacting to this hilarious film! Congrats on 1K subscribers!

[@jonmercano1138]

The 80’s was a great decade for movies! People are so sensitive now, we’ll never get what we once had. Too Sad.

[@tdgreenbay]

Ain't that the truth

[@stupidjones1223]

They put effort into movies before CG came around and made everyone lazy. CG has a place, but look at 70s and 80s and practical effects always looked better. The Fly with Goldblum, the makeup work in that movie was astounding, amongst many many others. As for comedies, Naked Gun, this one and Airplane are great examples of them putting in the work. Think of the sight gags that maybe take up 5 seconds of screen time, but probably took all day or longer to do. That doesnt happen anymore, too time consuming and expensive, so CG it is.

[@kdrapertrucker]

You need to show her Johnny Dangerously.

[@harrywaldron1048]

yes Johnny Dangerously is awesome movie

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

I had this playing on my laptop and during some of Emily's laughter where she goes almost ultrasonic in pitch my dog came in and started barking. She definitely has one of the most infectious laughs ever

[@stevenorellano2039]

My hands down favorite part is when Nick passes out from being beaten and has the nightmare about being back in school. He wakes up relieved that it's a dream, but he's still getting beaten by the Nazis.

Another great comedy from the mid-80’s is “Spies Like Us” with Bill Murray and Dan Akroid.

[@turnips4375]

a large part of why Top Secret! is much less well known than Airplane! is largely due to poor advertising. they didn't advertise that it was made by the same creators as Airplane! they advertised the "terrible movie" 4th wall break which put off audiences at the time. and it was released close to a lot of other big blockbusters.

When I saw you guys were actually watching Top Secret!, I couldn't, as they say, "click fast enough"! It's as good in its own way as Airplane!...the production values are so amazing! ZAZ shot this at Pinewood Studios and they were able to take advantage of all that great British craftsmanship and talent. It's so ambitious AND funny at the same time. I mean, all the work that went into that pigeon statue shot, just for a background gag! I love the whole thing, and your reaction was just as fun and infectious as the Airplane! one. Is it wrong that I want to see you both go for the ZAZ Trifecta with The Naked Gun? Will be watching no matter what the film is - thanks!

[@rashidclark]

I had the privilege of watching this with the creators, as part of a talk+screening a couple of years ago. They mentioned how it was viewed as their failure, not doing well at the box office, and how much of a good experience it was for them to watch it with a theater full of fans who cheered and guffawed during the screening. I cheered loudest for the backwards scene, but the audience as a whole reacted more strongly during the underwater scene. It is my favorite film of theirs. If you would like to see where it all started, you might check out their first film: "Kentucky Fried Movie". It mainly makes fun of the Bruce Lee film, "Enter the Dragon".

[@billyboblillybob344]

The backward scene is, in my opinion, the greatest scene in any film ever. Everything about it is a howl...everything!

Emily has the greatest laugh

[@bighuge1060]

This movie has quite a few brilliantly surreal moments. My biggest surprise was to discover the German commander first seen on the train with Nick was the same actor who played Dim in A Clockwork Orange. Unless I read this, I would never have been able to tell it was the same actor; the characters and portrayals being so different. The other thing I love about these directors' movies is their use of name actors known for their dramatic roles. Omar Sharif starred and appeared in the epics Dr. Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia. In Top Secret, he's picking up dog doo and having a radio antenna erection within a crushed car. You can't get too different than that.
