Didn’t discover this until a friend showed me in my 20s. Really is a hidden gem.

The guy on the wagon who says he is just a little hoarse, when the horse starts coughing is one of the most brilliant subtle jokes ever

“I see. Let me know if there is any change in his condition.” *hangs up phone* “He’s dead.”

I thought that was Val Kilmer.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
It is, he's a pretty good singer. At least till the throat cancer happened. :(
yokwe
He seems less crazy her as well. My theory is that the cocaine turns them all into megalomaniacs.
quzar
His first feature film.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Well, it WAS Val Kiler. It still is, but it WAS as well.

Goddamn it how can you make such an amazing poop joke with such a dignified actor

Absolute classic with Omar Sharif as a Citroën.
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
13%? Wow. That's... pretty specific. I'm not criticizing, just trying to do the math in my head...
somethingdark
1/8 rounded up maybe?
thatauzzieguy
He rounds down - much like the lady in the clip being discussed.
MithridateEupator
1/7.69th if that helps
quzar
I suppose I mean it relative to Airplane! and Naked Gun. Airplane! came to bluray in 2011, Top Secret in 2022.
n0n53n53
people still have bluray in 2022?
wickednoreaster
Not everyone has gigabit
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
When movies disappear from the service b/c the contract expires or the co. decides to go after a different demog., I’ll still have my discs.
quzar
No. That's the point. It was never released on bluray when people even used them.
akambe
Some people like the special features that are sadly lacking in streaming movies.
JeffGodofBiscuits
Better that than the anal intruder

This is a matter of opinion.

Damn shame what happened to him.
RedDragonDaker
What happened?
Lassannn
Throat cancer. He can't speak anymore and can't swallow, so he has a feed tube.
UnsolicitedRichardPicture
Cancer can go fuck itself.
RedDragonDaker
Agreed.
FritoParadise
Wasn't this the movie with the underwater bar fight scene?
quzar
Yup!
n0n53n53
this movie is chock full of cliches and one-liners it's great
thatauzzieguy
Yes. Gif of it above in other comments
pravetz
Now do the backwards bookseller - @BabyFarkMcGeeZax probably has it already
quzar
Sure, the scene is only about a minute so it should fit. I really hate the saturation and oversharpness of those intergalactic things tho.

As a teen Top Secret and Real Genius were my favourite films.
onecowboytoo
Gotcha! with Goose from Top Gun is pretty good too.
badatediting
Haven't seen Real Genius. Gonna have to now
SnapKylePop
Loved Real Genius but somehow Top Secret slipped through my radar. I guess it was TOO top secret.
BiologicallyHazardousMaterial
real genius?
jumpbus360
Real genius is a great 80s flick filled with odd characters. Including Val Kilmer at his best.
jekath
At 50, Top Secret is still one of mine.
dr0idknight
Same here.
RenaissanceFaireMan
So they're not your favorites anymore?
dr0idknight
Oh, I still love them and I dearly miss the "early" Val Kilmer. I feel so awful for how he's doing these days.
pleaseacknowledgethecat
The final scene in Real Genius with the house and the popcorn, when they play “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is so nostalgic
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Same!!!
TheTripleLindy
Did you also have that dream where you’re standing in sun god robes with hundreds of screaming women throwing tiny pickles at you?
fraggles9000
Why am I the only person that has that dream?
ClutterMonkey
No but I can hammer a six inch nail through a 2x4 with my penis.

^This man has standards
TheTripleLindy
I’m so, so glad that other people love Real Genius as much as I do!
ClutterMonkey
Do we all agree that Mitch looked like Barbara Streisand with a Brady Bunch hair cut?

Lol what the heck
ItsCaptain0bvious
This is called "breaking the 4th wall". It's when actors in theaters acknowledged (and/or interacted with) the audience. The stage only 1
ItsCaptain0bvious
has 3 walls (back and two sides) with the 4th "wall" essentially being between the stage and the audience, hence the term.
AgnosticPaladin
Thank you Captain Obvious. Keep up the good work.

This scene, by far, is what turns the movie into a cinematic masterpiece.
Strangedays2026
This and the book shop.

Is this the same movie
Strangedays2026
Yup
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
It's literally just called top secret?

Feels like Deja Vu should have been in the second group, too.

You sir, are a genius.

Been out close to 20 yrs and still dream that school discovered I missed 1 class and I have to go back to finally get my degree.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
I've even made up courses that I skipped on, sometimes until the exams loomed. Not too far from reality.
jursamaj
I've had some weird dreams about having to go back to school, college, and/or army, but oddly there was no anxiety.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
maybe you were a responsible student (:
jursamaj
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's not get carried away. I tended to do my homework on the bus to school, or in a prior class.
