Ok, I know this is a silly movie - it’s along the lines of Hot Shots. BUT - I just wanted to say one thing. I wasn’t aware of this, but it’s got a young Val Kilmer in it, and MAN he is hot! Any women Dopers out there who like young, clean-cut guys who can dance really well, this is a great movie. I never knew Val Kilmer could dance like that. Just an FYI! 🙂 ---

It is not only along the lines of _Hot Shots!_, it is the best of the ZAZ movies, in my opinion. And if you like young Val Kilmer, you’ll also like _Real Genius_. ---

i bet when we were kids we rented that movie 25 times. that “big phone” thing got me every time. I don’t know if I’d think it was so funny anymore, but I did then. Kilmer does comedy pretty well. He was in that, and of course, “Real Genius”. ---

Kilmer also does his own singing for the role of Nick Rivers, according to the credits. ---

> [@CandidGamera](#): > > Kilmer also does his own singing for the role of Nick Rivers, according to the credits. Wow. I’m lost in wonder. I \*love \* it when guys can dance and aren’t afraid to let it go. I’ll have to go find Real Genius. ---

Yes, I am Albert Potato. Heh - I have to admit - the parody version of ‘Are You Lonesome Tonight’ is one of my all-time favorite pieces of movie music, and I am constantly singing it in the shower. ---

I just picked up the DVD last night at Best Buy - $5.99! A classic movie, far better than Hot Shots! in my opinion. ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Standed on a desert island. But now I’m the leader of the French resistance! Ooo, excellent, I set myself up for that one. How about "she whose bosoms defy gravity?’ Or the silly dance, which starts out so elegant, but ends up so silly. Or “Give me a black Russian”, and the bartender looks at the screen and shakes his head. Oh, and Val Kilmer has got one of the hottest asses I’ve ever seen on a guy. ---

I just can’t bring my wife to orgasm.” Who knows the words to the East German national anthem by heart? ---
