Luckily for me, I was invited to participate! I was super excited upon seeing the movies that were released that year, but before starting, I wanted to choose a movie that I not only loved but one that was bit obscure… just so we wouldn’t end up with 100 drawings of Slimer or Gizmo.
I chose “Top Secret!” If you’re not familiar with it, it’s an old comedy from the Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker clan. It’s a hilarious period piece set in Germany and is a spoof of old war/spy movies.
Agent Cedric
For those who have seen it, you may recognize this guy. It’s Agent Cedric from this iconic scene. This is the aftermath of Cedric being caught in his car and dropped into a junk yard scrap compacter. The attempt to kill him didn’t quite work out. Ha!.
