The Naked Gun/Airplane!/Top Secret! (1980)

Handling

The Naked Gun Those screw-loose Airplane! creators have done it again! Leslie Nielsen stars Police Squad's own granite-jawed, rock-brained cop Frank Drebin, who bumbles across a mind control scheme to assassinate Queen Elisabeth. Priscilla Presley, O.J. Simpson, a stuffed beaver, two baseball teams and an odd assortment of others join the wacko goings-on and blow the laugh-o-meter to smithereens. Airplane! Voted "one of the 10 funniest movies ever made" by the American Film Institute, "Airplane!" is a masterpiece of off-the-wall comedy. Featuring Robert Hays as an ex-fighter pilot forced to take over an airliner when the flight crew succumbs to food poisoning; Julie Hagerty as his girlfriend/stewardess/co-pilot; and a cast of all-stars including Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Leslie Nielson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar... and more! Their hilarious high jinks spoof airplane disaster flicks, religious zealots, television commercials, romantic love... the lists whirls by in rapid succession. And the story races from one moment of zany fun to the next! Top Secret! If you were sitting around wondering if the guys who brought you Airplane! and The Naked Gun are crazy, the answer is "yes". And Top Secret! porves it beyond a shadow of doubt! Top Secret! pits American rock star Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer) against the dreaded East Germany High Command. It's a race against time as Nick teams up with Hillary Flammond (Lucy Gutteridge) to find her father before he can create the ultimate super weapon - the Polaris Mine. Along the way, Top Secret! manages to do for war epics and Elvis films what Airplane! did for disaster movies.
