![]() There are four alternate scenes and a commentary with the Zucker Brothers and a few other key people. While nothing new is offered in this "I Love The 80's" release of Top Secret, there are still a few worthwhile features (but not a lot). There are a ton of classic scenes from this movie, like when a pair decide to disguise themselves as a cow to sneak onto a military compound, or when Rivers and Hillary visit a Swedish bookstore (a scene that was actually filmed backwards). ![]() Rivers is invited to East Germany for a music festival, but he gets caught up in a conspiracy against the High Command that involves a mysterious woman (Hillary, played by Lucy Gutteridge), her brilliant scientist (and prisoner) of a father and a band of French rebels with names like Deja Vu, Chocolate Mousse, and Du Quois. Rivers is an odd "Elvis meets the Beach Boys" rocker since he has songs like "Skeet Surfin'" as well as smooth sounding love songs that cause all the girls around him to swoon (much like Elvis). It has all the earmarks of other comedies like Airplane and Naked Gun, but this time taking us into the East German High Command where the only hope for a band of rebels is American rock star Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer). Top Secret is very much a Zucker Brothers movie.
