Top Secret - 1984

1984???

1984!!!

Top Secret was from 1984!?

All the Val Kilmery-ness. All the rock-n-rolly-ness. It's just too much to imagine!

Top Secret is a spoof movie - possibly one of the first of the "Scream" type of spoof movies, actually. It was based off a lot of war movies. Basically the military wants to take a rock-n-roller (Val Kilmer) and put him into a "Great Escape" type of situation where he gets involved in a scheme to rescue a scientist trapped during the war.

As most movies that have been near the start of a certain type of genre of movie, this one seemed all too repetitive - but one has to remember that it happened so long ago, it was just considered new and wonderful then. :) Since then we have had a plethora of movies like it. It's good to look back and remember where they started.
