From the Back Cover
First there was Airplane!. Then came Naked Gun. Now director Jim Abraham's brings to the screen his most outrageous comedy yet - Hot Shots: The Mother Of All Movies. Starring Charlie Sheen, Lloyd Bridges and Jon Cryer, HOT SHOTS will take your breath away as it sends up the classic All-American fighter pilot movies. Extinguish all cigarettes and make sure your seat is in the upright position as you take off on a flight of fun, fantasy and frolics - but beware because there's something funny in the air!
Hot Shots Part Deux
Topper Harley (Charlie Sheen) is living in a Buddhist temple, his incompetent ex-commander (Lloyd Bridges) is in the Whitehouse, and a bunch of U.S. hostages in the Mid-East need rescuing! Topper's the only man for the job, but he's too hung-up on his ex-girlfriend (Valeria Golino) to deux it - until a beautiful CIA agent coaxes him back in the saddles. It's a do-or-die laughing mission that takes Harley and his Hot Shots on an action-packed trail, booby-trapped with spoofs of movie classics and filled with famous faces in hilarious cameos. Directed and co-written by Jim Abraham's (Airplane!, The Naked Gun), this is truly the mother of all sequels!

Hot Shots Part Deux - Could have been brilliant but has had some of the funniest moments cut, including the excellent scene in the back of the limo. As this is one of the funniest scenes ever it is greatly lost, and lets down the package completely.
So, buy this, then "obtain" a copy of Part Deux without the cuts to appreciate this movie fully.
He's assisted in this endeavour by his love interest from the first film as well as an elite squad of soldiers (Including Robocop's Miguel ferrer and Comedian Ryan Stiles).
The film manages to integrate and pastiche a great many war films, and quite a few others as well (Including Star Wars and Terminator II......There's even a Wizard of Oz gag in there).
Whilst the plot is not much to write home about, the dialogue is wonderful, and you find yourself concentrating intently on the film so you don't miss any of the sight gags (Like the Map in the briefing room, which shows the Team's target, located between lands shown as 'Iraq' and 'A hard place').
There are some great performances...Charlie Sheen manages to get through the whole thing with a clean deapan style, whilst Lloyd Bridges leaves no scenery unchewed in his role as the president of the USA.
It's not Shakespeare, and in it's favour it never aspires to greatness, but as a work of comedy it excels.
This is without doubt a 5 star comedy all round, one of the greatest comedy films of all time and always will be, awesome story that loosely follows top gun Hot Shots... Read more
