Top Secret!
Top notch ZAZ. This is so filled to the brim with jokes, there are jokes within jokes. During the skeet surfing sequence, there’s “Time Permitting Frank Sinatra”.
There’s a guy in the train reading East German’s newspaper, “The Daily Oppressor”, with a jackboot as a logo. Seems like a bargain, they have a competition and whoever wins can leave the country.
The Nutcracker ballet, where the rest of the prim and proper audience is playing cards, or passing along hot dogs and cokes. The prop room is a room filled with propellers.
The Swedish Bookstore is incredible. The big book on a pedestal is “Lesbian Bars in North Carolina”, an hefty tome. On the top level, she tells her The Blue Lagoon story.
Then they meets the Resistance, where most are Frenchman complete with striped maillot and smoking Gauloises. The Torch, head of the resistance is the guy from The Blue Lagoon (with a measured 10 inch cock). They immediately have intercourse offscreen in the fallout shelter.
The Nazis attack the safehouse! Croissant, Avant-Garde, Latrine, all are worthless. Chocolate Mousse saves the day, by loading his Tommy gun with a gunpowder horn and shooting a literal cannon by hand.
Then they get to “Der Pizza Haus”, where Nick Rivers has to do his song and dance numbers to prove he is not the traitor.
Finally, it’s the finale, they will rescue the professor and save the NATO sub fleet. As they lookout using binoculars, the cows jump over the black parts of the binoculars themselves, truly awe inspiring.
Speaking of cows, there’s the whole bit with the spotted cow, with the boots. You see, The Blue Lagoon guy spent a lot of time amongst sailors, he knows all about tugging and all other marine manoeuvres. The even use the Jaws theme just before the bull does his thing.
That underwater fight, makes Aquaman seem like a school production.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
