In it, a Mossad agent and a CIA agent battle each other over who'll save the world from a terrorist organization. Watch trailer:

Filmmaker, Alon Gur Arye's popular Israeli movie comedy has a double-edge - while a madcap production for Israeli audiences, what effect will international showings of  his "Mossad" movie have on public perceptions of Israel and the deterrent effect of the Mossad's secret-service image?

"The Naked Gun" and "Airplane" franchise creator, David Zucker story-consulted with Mr. Arye pre-production in Israel. JooTube asked him about his role, his perceptions, and his view of this Mossad/CIA spoof's effect on Israel's image & security. Director, Alon Gur Arye, joins in the conversation.

Filmmaker, David Zucker (creator of "The Naked Gun" comedy movie series) appears with Alon Gur Arye, about the spoof-movie, "Mossad" following it's premiere at Israel Film Festival in Los Angeles on November 16th. Panel interviewer: Israeli-American journalist David ("Dudi") Caspi.
