Hands down the nuttiest, craziest comedy of the '80s, this live-action Mad Magazine-of-a-movie is crammed full of every possible sight gag, parody, and bad uncle joke. The plot of crooner Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer in his first film role) getting caught up in East German intrigue is just a mere launching pad for the ten billion yuks thought up by the geniuses behind AIRPLANE. This film might actually hold the record for most jokes per frame. The supporting cast features respectable actors such as Omar Sharif and Peter Cushing doing crazy, silly ass things. Much like Jacques Tati's PLAYTIME or Charlie Chaplin's MODERN TIMES, this is a film worthy of the big screen experience – a one-of-a-kind comedy classic! Zzang!!!
