top secret! movie reaction
first time watching
val kilmer
comedy
I love all the anachronistic elements of this film.
"Tutti Frutti" was a famous, classic song performed by Little Richard in 1957.
I think that the movie is supposed to be taking place in 1963, which is well after that song came out.
There is another theory that the movie is set in 1984 and just weird, but with no anachronisms at all.
@@toddjones1480 An anachronism is when something doesn't line up with the time period. Like a 1980's song played in a movie taking place in the 1940's. Or 1940's Nazis in the 80's. Or a President Carter joke in the 1960's. "Top Secret" is full of anachronisms.
Little Richard, the self-proclaimed "Hardest-Working Man In Show Business"!
Anachronistic stuff is half the gags...cue the people trying to make it all fit 🤦♂
Another early Val Kilmer role was a film called Real Genius. I love it even more than Top Secret; it has an actual plot it takes seriously. But it's a comedy, and a very funny one at that.
This was Val Kilmer first role.
Also, while the songs we written for the movie, it's Kilmer who did his own singing and dancing.
Really talented guy.
Wait, Tutti Frutti was written long before this movie, wasn't it? It's a Little Richard song.
@@JakkFrost1
It was, though, of course, the music was adapted to the film but it indeed is a Little Richards song.
But in the film it's really Val Kilmer singing and dancing.
@@davidmeir9348 yeah, and there's a little bit of irony in the fact that, for an actor whose first ever movie saw him doing all the singing, he ends up with bad throat cancer.
Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holliday in "Tombstone" should have garnered an Oscar for "Best Supporting Actor".
Wow! Almost nobody reacts to this hilarious movie! Thanks for giving it some needed attention.
17:04 That magnifying glass moment is a nod to Peter Cushing's role as Dr. Frankenstein in the Hammer Horror films, of which he did many with his close friend Christopher Lee. When Halloween comes around, Aria, please react to the Hammer Horror classics! 🙏 They deserve more attention from reactors!
I second the need for some Hammer Horror Classics. My love for Horror and Science Fiction is more or less completely based on Hammer Studios, Jack Arnold and 60/70s Japanese monster movies. That was like 95% of what was on TV from those genres when I grew up. 😃
After this movie came out, a buddy of mine showed up at a Halloween party with one of the greatest costumes ever - a ballet dancer from Top Secret!
😂😂😂
That’s a costume that really stands out.
The Ford Pinto had a reputation for exploding when rear-ended. Thus the explosion in the field.
I just love, love, LOVE watching you giggling to all this silliness... lol
You have the smoothest, calming voice I have heard. You are articulate and funny, whoever complained about your voice is trolling you. Social media is so toxic and negative at times. Don't change to please a few idiots.
Thankyou for your kind comment❤️ it wasn’t really a rude comment but just made me think if that’s an issue than I should try to resolve it when editing :)
@@wjohnson1110 I didn't see the comment, but constructive criticism is not trolling.
@@ariachanson01 Maybe they'll hear you better if you type in all caps! :D
This is a classic, on the same level as Airplane! and Naked Gun.
I'm so glad you reacted to it, as not enough people know of it, as opposed to the movies I mentioned previously.
Well, that's to be expected, the movie IS Top Secret! after all
"You dropped your fake dog poo." "What fake dog poo?"
Aria: "I've stopped questioning." Continues to question. Hahaha love it.
Aria, the type of humor the Zucker Brothers were emulating was mostly started back with Mel Brooks and Buck Henry's spoof of James Bond movies called "Get Smart." That 1960's TV comedy had these same kinds of visual jokes and gags.
Missed it by… well, actually, you hit it dead on.
I didn’t know until pretty recently that the role of Maxwell Smart was originally meant for Tom Poston. I can’t even imagine that now. Don Adams is just too good in the role.
'Is this the potato farm?'
'Yes, I am Albert Potato.'
Still funny after all these years.
I love that a real cow wearing Wellington boots was supposed to be two guys in a cow costume. 😂 And the cow 'smoking'.
As always, a wonderful, charming reaction!
Thankyou:)❤️
I cannot believe it, finally someone found the hidden gem. all thumbs, fingers and toes up. this movie is criminally underrated. I am hyped.
"Ballet is so beautiful."
Seconds later...

@@ariachanson01❤😅very good film i from chile and fans you chile👍😎💥💥❤
I'm so happy you watched this, it's one of my favourite stupid movies, so creative. That gag where the guard falls off the wall and smashes into pieces never fails to get me. The gag where Nick reaches the boots and the camera follows him looking up expecting a guard, and it's just boots. The underwater fight scene! Such a unique movie, utterly ridiculous, but brilliantly so :D
"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."
Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Val Kilmar.
Director Cameos Fact: Directors Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker appear as the German soldiers who show up at the door of the prop room to arrest Nick (Val Kilmer).
Final Bow Fact: Peter Cushing, who began his screen career in the old Hollywood of the late 1930s, makes his final appearance in an American production. He made three more British films before passing in 1994.
Music Enthusiast Fact: The songs that Val Kilmer sings in the film are actually performed by Val Kilmer himself and were featured on the film's soundtrack released in 1984 under Kilmer's character's name Nick Rivers. When Nick Rivers is in jail, a head shot of Cher can be clearly seen on the wall of the cell several times. Val Kilmer was dating Cher at the time.
The Bookstore Scene Fact: The scene where Hillary (Lucy Gutteridge) and Nick (Val Kilmer) go into the Swedish bookstore was staged, shot, and then run backward for a "unique" sound. If you record the scene and play it backward, you will find all of the dialogue to be exactly what is shown in the subtitles except for the title of the book. "Europe On Five Quaaludes A Day" (which I can't confirm as real) is what Hillary asked for. A forward-playing version of the Swedish bookstore scene can be found on the DVD. The sight gag of Peter Cushing and the magnifying glass is a parody of a similar shot of Cushing from Terence Fisher's The Curse of Frankenstein (1957). The prosthetic that Peter Cushing wore in the bookshop scene involved the making of a cast of his face to fit it to. This same cast was used 30 years later by ILM to build a CGI model of his face for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016).
This movie is funny in any context, but if you're old enough to recognize all the WWII/50's melodrama/surf movie/Elvis/spy adventure cliches, it's hilarious.
Who says you're inaudible? I would listen to you reading the phone book!
I love this movie! It's a mashup satire of spy/Cold War movies, war movies, rock n roll movies, and American culture.
You have the most Smoothest/Calmest Voice that I've ever heard. I had seen this Film many times and loved your reaction as usual. little Richard sang Tuttie Fruttie. Salton Sea is a great Val Kilmer Film.
Instant thumbs up for anyone reacting to or reviewing 'Top Secret'
Please don't change anything about the way you talk. Your soothing voice is 90% why I'm subscribed. If people are having trouble hearing you over the movie, consider simply lowering the movie volume.
I did that in this one, hopefully that was better:)
Aria, I just wanted to let you know that your reaction was as funny as always! Your expression when the Germans told Nick about his friend being impaled on the large electrical device was priceless! Between that and your reactions to the... "cow sex scenes?"... Well, I think its safe to say that it took 2 hours just to get the smile off my face! 🤣
This movie is one of my all time favorite silly comedies, so I'm really glad that you enjoyed it! Can't wait to see what's up next!
Thankyou so much❤️ the movie really was gold, I was laughing so much when I was editing it:D
@@ariachanson01 You are very welcome! Its just refreshing and fun to see your genuine (as in not annoyingly over the top like so many others') reactions. Plus, seeing you laugh at these movies that I've always loved really just makes my day. Thank you for being one of the very best reaction channels out there!
The train station going away is my favorite comedy gag of all the times. I remember when I watched it at cinema, completely frozen and thinking "It's not real. I haven't seen it! " 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Val Kilmer can sing. Check him out playing Jim Morrison in The Doors. It's great.
She'd never get that past copyright. It's like 85% music
@@apachemayhem880 Then I'd tell her to watch it for pleasure and not do a reaction vid.
@@apachemayhem880 you're right; and that makes me sad 😐
Hillary's flashback is a spoof on The Blue Lagoon. It was a huge hit at the time of its release, although the modern audience is not always aware of its existence.
Ah yes, The Creatures from The Blue Lagoon.
Modern audiences are kinda horrified at The Blue Lagoon.
Yea the Blue Lafoon enerertaining as a 12 year old at the time really really creepy today...
The backup singers were Elvis' backup singers.
The concept underlying "Top Secret" is brilliance. "Airplane" is genius & timeless. But "Top Secret" is creativity on the next level. It's a mashup of genres before anyone had even the notion of cross-breeding genres & tropes into one film. One part Screwball Comedy. But then start adding in the other ingredients; Cold War-Era Spy films, World War II Resistance dramas, and the final piece of absurdity, a parody of those God-awful Elvis Presley musical films (yeah, that was it's own genre back in the 60's believe it or not). And what you get when it comes out of the oven is a cake of the wonderfully absurd & unique. Few things can compare. And the best thing is you can show this to both the Normies & Hipsters and it still confuses them, LOL.
Outstanding Aria !!!
Awesome Reaction and sense of humor !!! Thank You !!!
11:52 "😄Why do you have it with you?"
Because, in any properly written satire, the characters all live in a world of _absurdity,_ so pervasive, they don't even _see_ it.
The crazy effects and one liners add a lot! Like Airplane the jokes come out of nowhere. It tickles your funny bone l enjoyed this movie immensely. The best thing to do is to watch this movie with Airplane and others like it and binge watch!
The music used for the German anthem is the anthem of a local sport team in Wisconsin, where the writers/directors are from.
I have never had a problem hearing and understanding you, your voice is just fine.
The fact that Val had such a beautiful voice made him losing it to illness all the more tragic. For more of him singing on film - The Doors
More Val to enjoy - Real Genius (comedy), Top Gun (action), Tombstone (western), The Saint (spy/action), and The Ghost And The Darkness (period piece based on true events)
*The Real McCoy* (caper action) with him and Kim Basinger is pretty good, too, hmm? 😎
@@goldenager59 I've somehow never seen it 🤯 Going on my list 👍
@@LordVolkov
Right glad to hear it! 😃
Another one of the undersung joke was near the beginning when the Nazis say that Nick Rivers would be coming instead of Leonard Bernstein (with his obviously Jewish name).
"How do we know he's not Mel Torme?" 🎶[DUN-DUN-DUHHHHH...]🎵
..."This is NOT Mel Torme!"
it is mel torme the short one
11:20 "Now the cow on the poster is not weird at all." And you had not even noticed the boots yet - perfect! While you did show the janitor, you didn't give us the prop room, which I think is even funnier as a continuation of the gag.
The bit about the spy being crushed in the car is a direct reference to a scene in the James Bond film Goldfinger (a real classic). And the radio antenna extending was another perfect sight gag.
Hillary's boobs glowing red was a spoof of E.T. - The Extraterrestrial, whose heart lit up.
Another great reaction. I love your very animated responses and of course your soothing voice too. Great job!
Val Kilmer, when he heard the movie was a cross between a war film and an elvis movie he turned up to his audition wearing an elvis costume!
And he kept the outfit for True Romance.
Val Kilmer is a fantastic singer. he sang the entire sound track for the Doors movie he did..
part of the issue you had with this film is that so many of the jokes are very time period specific - a lot carry forward, but so many you would really have to know what was going on at the time it was made.
glad you saw the humor in this film. Real Genius is another fantastic 80s Val Kilmer film.
This movie is so much fun. I was nine or ten the first time I saw it so I didn't get a lot of the jokes, but as I got older they all made sense and I found it so much funnier. A great start to Val Kilmer's movie career.
Val Kilmer movies you should check out are: Tombstone, Real Genius, Top Gun 1 and 2, Heat , Ghost and the Darkness, The Saint, and Willow.
Great reaction! I really appreciate that you do not act like the breaking of the fourth wall is the greatest thing ever! Ground breaking comedy! That is what every other reactor acts like when they see a fourth wall break. Refreshing to see your take on it. Which I agree with, which I am sure is why I like it. 😁
3:30 - Montgomery Ward was a popular mail order retail department store from most of the 20th century. If you were on their mailing list, you would get incessant catalogs, flyers, and endless mail correspondence from them, which is the insult Val Kilmer's character was implying.
🐴 Whoever did the closed captioning for this had a perplexing decision to make about one of the movie's most famous punchlines...Do I spell it "Horse" or "Hoarse"? ☺ Whenever anyone asks me what the plot of this movie is, my answer is always, "Plot?" 😆..."PLOT?" 🤣 To me, this is one of the two funniest plotless movies of the 1980s, the other one being "Monty Python's Meaning Of Life" (1983). 😁👍
After the heaviness of your Band of Brothers reaction, it's good to see you laugh. Really enjoyed your reaction to this.
I love your evolution of expectations when you realized this is satirical.
And I love ypur voice. Be you.
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
"who's the singer, he's really good" that's val kilmer himself!! He's actually a really good singer! To get his role as jim morrison in biopic "the doors" he learned like half of their discography and sang in front of the members and they literally said something along the lines "I didn't know if I was listening to Jim Morrison himself or Val Kilmer"
The soundtrack on spotify for top secret is also all val kilmer singing!
Val Kilmer's tour de force performance is in Tombstone. That movie has the most stacked cast you will ever see, definitely check it out.
When this movie was done, ZAZ never knew about blue lagoon. Concider that.
Aria, here are more Val Kilmer films you ought to watch...
Tombstone
The Doors
The Ghost and the Darkness
Thanks:) I’ll keep these in mind❤️
I mean, I've suggested movies and she hasn't done any of those. 😢
Good luck, Dan.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
@@ariachanson01👍
24:02 "Oooh! What going on in the back?!"
Deja Vu! I can't tell you how many times I've heard that from a woman...
Your eyes show your reaction without words.
Tutti Fruiti is a real song and was originally sung by Little Richard back in the hay days of rock 'n Roll it was first released in 1957 and the island scene for Hillary is based on the movie "Blue Lagoon" which starred Brooke Shields. and Nick jumping the motorcycle over the barbed wire fences is a reference to the Movie "The great Escape" made 1963 and there it was Steve Mcqueen riding the bike also a great movie for you to watch some of it based on real history during world war II. And if you're impressed that Val Kilmer sang the songs you should also watch Olivier stone's "The Doors" 1990, its about the 60's band the Doors and Val Kilmer plays the Iconic Jim Morrison and he also sang all the songs there too.a bit more darker than this movie but a good watch non the less.
you forget Elvis film loving you
My cousins and I got our grandmother to take us to see this when I was 14 in theaters when it was brand new. I never laughed so hard in my life because not only was the movie hilarious, but the pissed off look on my grandmother's face, especially when the ballet scene happened was almost funnier than the movie and my cousins and I still laugh thinking about it. As far as being disrespectful, they weren't. Comedy, especially spoof comedy always gets a pass. They are not intentionally trying to hurt anyone and if a German filmmaker or any other nationality wanted to do a spoof of the USA and make fun of Americans, as long as it was made as a comedy, it's OK. My generation had a saying, "If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?" Now, a lot of younger people are way too serious and get offended too easily. Life is short, so relax, have fun and enjoy your life. Don't sweat the small stuff. Life is hard enough, so don't take away the few joys we get in life like laughing.
Val Kilmer knew this was a comedy based on spies and Elvis movies. He showed up to his audition dressed as Elvis.
There are a bunch of spoofs of other movies in this film. To name only two, Blue Lagoon starring Brooke Shields is a film about two kids stranded in a paradisaical island and growing up to be teenagers and later parents before leaving said paradise. The Great Escape is a movie about prisoners making a tunnel to escape. In it Steve McQueen on a motorcycle jumps a fence. Both are great movies to watch if you haven't yet.
I really enjoy watching you laugh at the stunts of these comedies of my youth. Saw them all in the movies in the late 70s, early 80s. For silliness of a different brand, try the Woody Allen movies of the mid 70s. Love And Death is his great spoof on War And Peace.
Val Kilmer is doing his own singing. He sings in Comanche Moon, and I recon The movie about Jim Morrison
This is the film that I pester nearly every review channel to watch shy of the ones run by filmmakers. Just randomly came on Twitter last week even when discussion what the best comedy films of all time are and this the top shelf for me. Just pounding the audience with comedy gold. Then all those incredibly filmed scenes on top of it like the backward to foreword Potato Farm scene (still brilliant to this day) or the underwater Gunsmoke fight scene. It's just so good.
East Germany didn't exist til after WWII, so it's a cold war movie.
Tutti Frutti is a real song- Little Richard (1955).
Google the movie The Blue Lagoon (1980).
Sidenote: I have never had any problem hearing you.
28:27 "But we recommend you be there at least 45 minutes before departure. _Especially_ at _this_ time of year."
And you'll be traveling internationally, so have your _passport_ handy.
I guess Nicks' friend who used the Intruder device wasn't aware of that we use 230 Voltage in Europe not 120 Volt like in the US...hehe :)
Actually, the cow on the poster makes perfect sense since they are nature's ninjas. Perfectly camouflaged and sneaky. Don't believe me? Look around you right now. See the cows? Exactly.😉
When you repeated yourself saying, "I'll try to talk a little louder." it was the same volume as the first time you said it. 🤣
Val Kilmer is one of the greatest actor in my book. If you like his voice, then you have to watch "The Doors" it will blow your mind away. You have to watch both "Top Gun" movies, you will love to hate him. And you must watch "Tombstone", Doc Holiday will be your favorite character.
References that you missed:
"The Guns of Navarone" (1961)
"The Great Escape" (1963)
"The Dirty Dozen" (1967)
"Where Eagles Dare" (1968)

"The Eagle Has Landed" (1976)
"Rawhide" (TV show)
"The Wizard of Oz" (1939)
loving you gi blues
I loved the fourth wall break. "It's like some kind of bad movie!" ((both turn and look at the camera))
"Tutti Frutti" is a rock and roll classic. It was sung by Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and the original - Little Richard (who co-wrote it in 1955). It may be among the songs with a highest number of recordings by various artists, and is probably in the repertoire of every Elvis impersonator.
You forgot about the Pat Boone version of that song.
@@MattB2603 nope ("...by various artists"). I just didn't name all of them (like my favourite - after Elvis's. - by Karin Stanek). I think I may even have heard a bootleg from Led Zeppelin doing the song. Didn't Brenda Lee do it as well?
Airplane! was one of the most profitable comedies of all time but Top Secret! bombed hard at the box office. The filmmakers wrongfully assumed that Airplane! was a massive hit because of their jokes but failed to realize that the characters and the plot they borrowed from Zero Hour! held the movie together.
Basically, they had a great collection of jokes but didn't know how to write a screenplay on their own, despite the help of a seasoned screenwriter. The plot is absurd in itself because they decided to spoof Elvis Presley's musicals and spy thrillers set during WW2. They thought they went a little too far and lost many spectators in the process. When they worked on The Naked Gun, they made sure they had a solid story and character's arc before writing the jokes.
Top Secret! became a cult classic when it was released on VHS a few years later.
2:23 "At least they're not shooting people" ... 9 seconds later ...
2:16 "What?"
Yeah. 😄 Isn't this an obscure niche? People who like to combine surfing _and_ skeet shooting.
Never had an issue with your audio just keep uploading fire and you’ll be fine
Thankyou❤️❤️
You might also like the film "Transylvania Twist", it's my favorite movie, because of its silliness.
Great movie. One of the most funniest movies I know. Allot of the songs in the movie are spoof of Elvis and The Beach Boys songs. Fyi Totty Fruity is a real Elvis Song
the shop jingle was based on Elvis are you lonesome tonight
You will have to watch this movie a number of time to see all the gags that are in there. It rips off spy movies to the max. The car that got a rear end ding was a Pinto, look up that car, to get the joke. Good react, stay well.
33:05 Yes ... and it is unfortunate that due to throat cancer he can not talk all now.
This movie is like " Naked Gun " - " Airplane " and Mel Brooks films.
With this movie, you must your eyes peeled and suspend reality.
Funniest movie ever, and a great reaction to it 👍👍
I haven’t seen this movie in decades. It’s now even sillier. The WW2 uniforms combined with the GDR / Cold War plot and this terrible German 🤪.
Love your content and your reaction to the ballet scene was as always on point😂.
If the mic track is clean enough, you can run the mic and movie tracks through separate compressors, or 2 series of compressors to gently, progressively squish the peaks, then adjust the gain on each compressor to mix. Your natural, authentic speech is perfect, so I hope this helps you adjust the room and processing chain to your comfort and save "performance mode" for your music,... which you found an hour to practice this month,... right? :) :P
Thankyou for the tips❤️ the music thing is a little rough right now, I don’t get time to practice on the guitar or record any covers but hopefully I’d get back into it soon because it’s so much fun:)
good Val Kilmer movies:
"Tombstone" (1993)
"The Ghost and The Darkness" (1976) based on real events
"Heat" (1995)
"Top Gun" (1986)
In 1998, David Zucker made "BASEketball", which is a comedy sport movie. It is inspired by a real sport he invented with a few of his friends, which is a mix between basketball and baseball that you can play in your backyard. It doesn't directly spoof any movie but it pokes fun at the sport industry with the same kind of absurd humor. And it stars Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park.
The funniest modern era ZAZ-style movie.
I don't use headphones or earbuds and I never have a problem hearing you.
"Kentacky Fried Movie" should be next if you like Zuckers brothers type of humor
The German language used in the movie is actually Yiddish. They actually say things unrelated to the plot, like "Today I ate a apple pie".
The German language used in the movie is actually gibberish and makes no sense :)
@@PaulWinkle "East German characters speak primarily in Yiddish, sometimes using phrases that would have been recognizable to the grandchildren of Yiddish-speaking immigrants - a technique borrowed from Sid Caesar. For example, a train conductor announcing a stop says, “
Zolstu vaksn vi a tsibele mit der [sic] kop indr’erd ” (you should grow like an onion with your head in the ground), and a waiter at Hotel Gey Schluffen (go to sleep) says, “Gey kakn af yam” (go poop in the ocean), “Ikh bin oysgemutshet” (I am exhausted), and “Es vet helfn vi a toytn bankes
” (It will help like blood-cupping a corpse), while subtitles “translate” these phrases aspork-based dinner options."

@@victornewmanforever Sollst du wachsen wie eine Zwiebel mit dem Kopf in der Erde?
Yes in theorie germans should understand yiddish. It is like a dialect. I have to relisten hard next time
Early Val, Real Genius and Top Gun with this is the movies that made him famous. Sad he is in the condition he is in today.
From the same people who did Kentucky Fried Movie, Naked Gun, Airplane, and Ruthless People.
There's a lot of humor that's anchored to much older pop culture, like Mel Torme and spy tropes and Western movies and others. Humor tends to be topical and some things are dated. Same thing with Airplane
You trying to make literal sense of one of the greatest parody movies was hilarious.
NIGEL!
This movie is awesome to watch while tripping on Robitussin.
Ballet is so beautiful....and now they have ruined it for me. 😂😂😂😂
That was great! The reacting character is hilariously dense!
