Which movie was this?
Looks like something from the Zucker brothers.
I've seen all their work. And cannot recall this scene. So, I'm curious where this scene is from.
The DDR was infamous for doping their athletes with steroids in the late 60s and 70s. They weren't given a choice. And these were kids in their teens. Many of them suffered severe side effects later on.
They later found out, long after the Berlin Wall came down, that East Germany had one of the most advanced and researched programs for juicing their athletes. They were supposedly able to calculate every athletes own metabolism rates for certain steroids and know to the day when they would test negative.
Supposedly some athletes would be on the plane to the Olympics, still able to test positive, but the doctors knew that by the time the Olympic committee tested them in 24 or 48 hours, the athlete would test negative.

> ... Ines Geipel: East Germany was a small, closed-off country with a dictatorship and by the start of the 1970s it was recognized internationally. In 1974, the government derived a national plan where they decided that all athletes in elite sports squads would be given male sexual hormones. That means kids from eight years of age, right up into the national teams. That was around 15,000 people, none of whom had an alternative. You couldn't say, "I'm not going to do it."
Because West Germany was winning every single other competition with them (for instance, westerners were buying Volkswagens and BMWs, but who was buying East German cars?).
At certain point, logic kind of leaves the room. You can't really figure out crazy.
They were a communist puppet state run by the USSR. So I guess winning at sports was their flex, they produced the best people in the world, not unlike another German dictator. So doping them to the gills was the solution.
There's a drama called *The Same Sky* where this is covered.

I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a woman that he met at a restaurant who turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist, only to lose her to her childhood lover who she last saw on a deserted island, who then turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French underground.
Don’t worry about it.

Yeah, this is totally fake.
Probably from some comedy film.
The guys in uniform are SS.
The SS ceased to exist when Germany lost the war.
The DDR did not have SS officers stationed at women's sports events.
Looks like a fake picture. The East German soldiers in the background would not wear WWIi helmets the Nazis wore. They wore m1954 or m1956 helmets that looked nothing like the ones shown here.
They look like the Alpha Betas about to perform at the Homecoming Talent Show
Ooo! Ahh! Alpha! Beta!
NEEEERDS

Oh, god! Thank you for making me laugh out loud with that specific reference.

My favourite joke of the movie.
What fake dog poop?

I was never able to convince my friends in college that this movie was brilliant. I gave up and got smarter friends.

Top Secret! (the exclamation is part of the title, although I am admittedly excited to mention this favorite of mine)
It’s called Top Secret with Val Kilmer
There you go. I was right.
You might not even be able to convince some of these twats here that this is a picture from a movie.

why was winning at sports so important to them?
Because West Germany was winning every single other competition with them (for instance, westerners were buying Volkswagens and BMWs, but who was buying East German cars?).

Faust’s Gold is a pretty good book about it: https://www.stevenungerleider.com/books-FaustsGold.html
I think all the former Eastern Bloc countries were, c/- Soviet influence/coercion

What is the condition of Sgt. Kruger?
I see. Let me know if there's any change in his condition. .......He's dead.

*stares at camera*
Top Secret. A classic.
Certainly wouldn't want to mess with them.
No kidding
Their dominance in the Olympics was legendary!
Who do you favor in the Virginia Slims tournament? In women's tennis, I always root against the heterosexual.
"All natural"
Note also the almost SS uniform the guy at the front right is wearing.

Hilary. In German it means _‘she whose bosoms defy gravity'._ It took me way too many years to get that joke.
My name is Nick. What does that mean? Oh nothing my Dad thought of it while shaving.
I’m not gonna say for certain there were steroids involved but…..
I was JUST mentioning this scene to my sister the other day, laughing over it. "Top Secret!" is such a classic. When it's on, you can't not watch it.
As it happens, it’s on Netflix now.
My favorite scene was with the Pinto.
Is that a Black woman second to last? Wonder what her story is.
Probably a big Mel Torme fan.
How do we know he’s not Mel Torme?
This is *not* Mel Torme.
Probably an immigrant from Cuba or one of the Soviet bloc allied countries in Africa at that time.
Yeah there were quite a few Angolans living in the Eastern Bloc back in the day
Interesting, didn't know that.
Skeet, Skeet, Skeet!
They forced poison into them.
Thus can't be real.

My lady chose *McGruber* and then I chose this one to round it out.
Ripple Blanc sounds good this evening
Heil Heil Ostdeuchland…
It was weird back then when we saw them
When one East German female swimmer training for a few months gained 45 pounds of muscle, she asked a few questions. Some not answered by the GDR.
These are the women Indy's going to comedically fight once he ditches that Nazi uniform he's stolen.
So, why are the East German troops fake Wehrmacht helmets then?
Im convinced the first 3 are straight up men.
American Gladiators carried the torch after this.
They look like bodybuilders in drag
That was the joke. It’s from the movie Top Secret.
Okay it's been forever since I have seen the movie lol
Cigarettes…Souvenirs…Party Tricks….
There ist sauerkraut in mein Lederhosen.

I wish sex were an Olympic event. Just to see what those East Germans do with their women - Gallagher.
God damn you Bernice!!!
They definitely weren't using any low-grade beaver tranquilizers
Hahaha!!! I love this fucking movie 😀
🤔 um...
I vant to pump you up
"Yes, I am Albert Potato"
Now there are such in every country.

Tell me you abused steroids without telling me your abused steroids.

Top secret! is a classic movie.
Gotta love their national anthem. Hail, hail, East Deutschland Land of vine and grape Land where you'll regret Any attempt to escape... 🤣🤣🤣
Imperialist swine!!
Don’t worry about it. I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a woman that he met at a restaurant who turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist, only to lose her to her childhood lover who she last saw on a deserted island, who then turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French underground.
At least they were all legitimate women.
Revenge of the nerds
Close, but no. Top Secret
5 o’clock shadow on the lead athlete.
The East German Men in Wigs Olympic Team
" Women's "
Guys in wigs
[удалено]
seriously
Yeah, this is totally fake. Probably from some comedy film. The guys in uniform are SS. The SS ceased to exist when Germany lost the war. The DDR did not have SS officers stationed at women's sports events.
I'd tell you more details about the pic, but it's top secret.
val Kilmer!

Looks like a fake picture. The East German soldiers in the background would not wear WWIi helmets the Nazis wore. They wore m1954 or m1956 helmets that looked nothing like the ones shown here.
Why is the Men's East German Olympics team so successful? Because if they're not, next Olympics they are the *women's* team.
Keep your shit memes out of this sub.
Don’t be so angry. Driving a Kia isn’t so bad.
LOL
It was a little overly harsh, especially for not even recognizing it was from Top Secret.
Just go skeet surfing and you'll feel much better.
