Skeet Surfin'
By Jeffrey M. Anderson I could never figure out why this comedy-packed gem bombed during its day until I saw it again and realized how juvenile it is. Nevertheless, my memories of it helped me enjoy it once again. Val Kilmer stars as an Elvis-like rock star sent behind the Iron Curtain and ends up saving humanity while managing to sing a few tunes. In one scene Val visits a bookstore run by Peter Cushing, who talks in a foreign language � actually the soundtrack run backwards. The disc contains one essential hidden Easter egg: this scene performed forwards, as filmed. "Everybody go skeet surfin'."
