Surely, no one could believe otherwise.

I also enjoyed the next outing, Top Secret, which was Val Kilmer's film debut. The only thing lacking was pointed out by Leonard Martin: "Where's the ending?".

The DVD commentary is also hilarious, by the way: Abrahams and the Zuckers spend the whole time talking about how terrible the movie is. 😄

It's just as filled with signature off-the-wall absurdities as any of theirs.
