Geronimo1967
As spoofs go, this is an adequate vehicle for the handsome and charismatic Val Kilmer to squeeze into his 501s and take on the mantle of American rock star "Nick Rivers". He is invited to take part in a cultural exchange concert in the still militaristic East Germany and so, under the watchful eye of "Gen. Streck" (a super-hammy Jeremy Kemp) he has to stay out of trouble until his gig. Easier said than done though when he meets and falls for the feisty "Hillary" (Lucy Gutteridge) and is soon embroiled is a plot to rescue her scientist father (Michael Gough) from the scheming communists before he is forced to create a weapon to end all weapons. The joke looks pretty squarely aimed at Elvis this, and Kilmer makes a decent fist of the gyrating and hair-spraying. Indeed, had we a bit more of these scenes and less of the rather obvious and clumsy espionage malarkey, it might have been a better film. As it is, though, it plays the parody hand just a bit too heavily for me and after a while the cultural clashes appeared to be as much between the star and his largely British supporting cast as much as having anything to do with scheming generals. It's not a film that needs your concentration, it has a reasonably toe-tapping soundtrack and if you aim low, you ought not to be disappointed.
