Top Secret!

Our Huckleberry Friend – The Films of Val Kilmer, Part 2

“Interesting characters are troubled characters. The only problem I’ve had in my business is very few people – unfortunately, very vocal – confusing the difficult role that I play with me. I play these guys, but I’m not like them.” – Val Kilmer

Val Kilmer’s film career is a rich tapestry of diverse roles that highlight his remarkable versatility and commitment to character. From Batman to Iceman, Jim Morrison to Doc Holliday, Kilmer’s dynamic range often brought his own wit, vulnerability, and eccentric artistry to his legendary filmography. With a succession of iconic roles to choose from we celebrate the life and career of this incredible artist. We’d be his wingman anytime!


Top Secret!:

From the makers of Airplane! comes a deliriously absurd Cold War comedy that mashes up Elvis musicals and spy thrillers into one gloriously goofy ride. Val Kilmer makes his big screen debut as Nick Rivers—a rock ’n’ roll heartthrob who finds himself entangled in espionage behind the Iron Curtain.  A nonstop barrage of sight gags, slapstick antics, and surreal set pieces that demand rewatching just to catch every joke, Kilmer’s pitch-perfect performance, complete with original songs, is ultimately what cements Top Secret! as a cult classic that’s as clever as it is ridiculous.

1984, 90 minutes, USA/UK, Directed by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker, Rated PG

  • “This is the least well-known of the madcap satirical comedies of Jim Abrahams and David and Jerry Zucker (Airplane!, The Naked Gun), and by all counts the weirdest. But the richness of its ideas makes it my favorite.”

    – Jonathan Rosenbaum, CHICAGO READER
  • “This movie will cheerfully go for a laugh wherever one is even remotely likely to be found.”

    – Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
  • “Val Kilmer proves a perfect blend of staunch hero and hothouse heartthrob.”

    – VARIETY
  • “Val Kilmer’s cinematic debut is one for the ages, platforming a personable, handsome leading man who can sing, dance and handle comedy …Kilmer had talent to spare, and Top Secret! is the place to see it on full display.”

    – Eddie Harrison, FILM-AUTHORITY.COM
