SYNOPSIS
Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker–of AIRPLANE! and NAKED GUN fame–wrote and directed this genre-hopping slapstick juggernaut which lampoons World War II spy films and Elvis movies, making many other satirical stops along the way. East Germany is planning a cultural festival, and invites rock-and-roll singer Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer)…but only after Leonard Bernstein can’t make it. The festival, however is a mere distraction so that the Germans can launch a secret attack on a submarine fleet without being detected. Nick soon finds himself involved with the French Resistance, encountering slapstick gags and film parodies every time he turns around.
