Film: Top Secret! (1984)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
Top Secret!

"My uncle was born in America."
"Oh, really?"
"But he was one of the lucky ones. He managed to escape in a balloon during the Jimmy Carter presidency."

Review: When I saw this movie when I was young, I laughed my ass off. It is still a fun movie, but only produces light chuckles from me when I watch it now. I was surprised to learn recently that Val Kilmer did all his own singing in the movie.

"Nigel made me go back to the meter shed. He ordered me to set off the alarms."
"And what does he want us to do now?"
"Nothing you numbskull. Nigel's the traitor!"
