Top Secret! (film): Difference between revisions

* [[Big Electric Switch]]: The electric fence around the castle is turned on and off with one of these.

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: See [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign]], above. One particular gem should crack up German-speakers, though:

'''von Horst:''' (severely) Ich liebe dich, mein Schatz. {{spoiler|Translation: I love you, sweetie.}} }}

* [[Binocular Shot]]: Parodied. The herd of cows under observation walk ''into'' the "black frame".

* [[Chairman of the Brawl]]: While in an underwater [[The Western|Western]] bar.

* [[Code Name]]/[[Theme Naming]]: Parodied. One group has French phrases for code names, and another has food names.

'''Du Quois:''' Over there, Croissant, Souffle, Escargot, and [[Scary Black Man|Chocolate Mousse]]. }}

** Nigel "The Torch" (see [[Meaningful Name]])

** Nick, when told by Dr. Flammond about an invention that can cheaply separate salt from seawater and asked if he understands what it means for the starving nations of the world (e.g. no more water shortages), answers: "Wow, they'd have enough salt to last forever!"

** Latrine's final [[Almost-Dead Guy]] appearance:

'''Deja Vu:''' I see you have dealt with him appropriately. }}

* [[Commie Nazis]]

* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: Lampshaded and parodied.

'''Hillary:''' I know. It all sounds like some bad movie. ([[Aside Glance]]) }}

* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]:

'''General:''' No. [[Even Evil Has Standards|We cannot risk violating the Geneva Convention]]. }}

* [[Depth Deception]]: Used as a visual gag.

** Two phallic scenes in a row: Cedric's telescopic antenna and the ballet, the latter of which was [[Bowdlerized]] for cable. But those ballet dancers are still bouncing off of ''something''...

* [[Gratuitous German]]: Blinkenlights-style.

* [[I Drank What]]:

'''Chocolate Mousse:''' "Gasoline. HAHAHAHAHA." (glug, glug, glug) }}

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Chocolate Mousse fires a machine gun into a melee and only hits the bad guys. He then gets a high five from a [[Jive Turkey]].

* [[Last-Minute Reprieve]]: Nick is so popular that the consulate insists on him giving one last performance before his execution.

* [[Lethal Joke Item]]: The "Anal Intruder" jackhammer-powered dildo.

* [[Line-of-Sight Name]]: Nick's father was shaving...

* [[The Loins Sleep Tonight]]: Parodied. It seems that Hillary is consoling Nick for his failure to perform, but it turns out that she's reading a trashy romance novel out loud.

* [[Meaningful Name]]:

** Nick and Hillary go through the following exchange at a restaurant:

'''Nick:''' "I don't know; my father [[Line-of-Sight Name|thought of it while he was shaving]]." }}

** Nigel "The Torch" -- Hillary carries a torch for him.

* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Nigel}}.

* [[National Anthem]]:

Forget it, the guards will kill you, if the electrified fence doesn't first. }}

* [[Not So Dire]]

* [[The One Thing I Don't Hate About You]]:

* [[Off-the-Shelf FX]]: Inverted. The 'cow suit' is really an actual cow with boots on.

* [[Pig Latin]]: The priest: "Ooreyay oingay ootay etgay iedfray in the airchay."

* [[Sexy Discretion Shot]]: To a fireplace. When the couple rolls into view in front of the fireplace, the camera pans again--to ''another'' fireplace. In some cuts, the camera eventually pans to a window with a view of a burning building. Further parodied some minutes later when a kiss between the two parachuting protagonists cuts to a fireplace hanging from another parachute.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Too many to name, from ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' to the Beach Boys.

* [[Sic Em]]: The rubber stamp of "[[Stand by Me|Chopper, sic balls!]]"

* [[Smoking Hot Sex]]: After the calf blowjob scene no less.

* [[There Was a Door]]

* [[This Is Reality]]: Played with:

(Awkward pause. Nick and Hillary [[Aside Glance|look toward the camera, embarrassed]].) }}

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: The blind Bruno and the moronic Klaus who only reads the New York post.
