In 1980, Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker (ZAZ) took the world by storm with the spoof of disaster films, Airplane. It utterly changed the genre overnight, with the laugh-a-minute style being tremendously influential. Rather than cash in with an Airplane sequel (although Paramount went ahead and did an awful one without them), ZAZ decided to send up old Elvis Presley movies and old-fashioned spy yarns with Top Secret! Starring a then-unknown Val Kilmer as the rock star hero, Nick Rive

Today we remember Jim Abrahams (10 May 1944 - 26 November 2024), the legendary director and writer behind some of the most loved films of all time. He will be best remembered for his work alongside David and Jerry Zucker, co-directing and writing Airplane! (1980), Top Secret! (1984), and The Naked Gun / Police Squad series (1988).
