This is a sequel to ¨Hot shots¨ (1991) , Top Gun spoof , this ¨Hot Shots! Part Deux¨(1993) doesn't live up to the first , but it's not bad either ; it boasts a good cast , such as : Charlie Sheen , Valeria Golino , Lloyd Bridges , Richard Crenna , Rowan Atkinson , Miguel Ferrer , among others . Another outing from ¨Naked Gun¨team of the master movie parodists : Jim Abrahams , Jerry Zucker and Pat Proft . Wacky and surrealist comedy with uncountable gags and well starred by Charlie Sheen who gives a sympathetic acting as hunk ace Topper Harley who's assigned to rescue Colonel Denton : Richard Crenna . A classic of the spoof genre, it is a likably silly comedy from the writing-directing team that brought other big hits , and still one of the funniest movies ever made . From the makers of the original "Airplane!" (not the Wright brothers) . In a covert government mission to rescue hostages from Operation Desert Storm, a group of U. S. soldiers fail to assassinate Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein (Jerry Haleva) and are captured by Iraqi forces . Because the mission has failed twice before, the absent-minded former U. S. Navy Admiral Thomas "Tug" Benson (Lloyd Bridges), who was surprisingly elected President of the United States, suspects the commando is being sabotaged and decides to send retired Navy war hero Lieutenant Sean "Topper" Harley (Charlie Sheen) to intervene . Presidential Military Advisor Colonel Denton Walters (Richard Crenna) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) sexy agent Michelle Rodham Huddleston (Brenda Bakke) locate pumped-out Topper in Thailand, fighting as a boxer and practicing Buddhism . He refuses to help rescue the imprisoned soldiers , still troubled by the abandonment of his lover , Ramada Rodham Hayman (Valeria Golino). Then love interest Ramada returns but this time she's competing with a beatiful agent . Just Deux it !. The mother of all sequels !. Grab your guns! It's Hot Shots Part Deux! The mother of all movies! . There's something funny in the air !. Unprecendented! Uncut! Under 10 dollar Movie? What movie?. Shhh! Don't tell anyone.
Nutty and absurd comedy with numberless gags by the makers of Airplane . This picture makes up for its flimsy plot with one gag after another . Written/directed by Jim Abrahams , Pat Proft and David Zucker (ZAZ) , they are American satirists and writers with successful works along and long time collaborators among them , they made their own comedy troupe , ¨Kentucky Fried theatre¨. Spoofs ¨Rambo¨ with a lot of verbal humor and similar gung-ho adventures , but doesn't forget other popular films including : ¨First Blood¨, ¨Rambo¨, ¨Rambo III¨,¨Apocalypse Now¨, ¨The Goldfather¨, ¨Sea Hunt¨, among others . This one remains commercially as one of their exceptional hit smashes with the exception for ¨Airport!¨ , ¨Top Secret¨and ¨Jerry Zucker's Ghost¨. In the film appears the habitual quirky and lunatic roles usually played by notorious actors , such as : Valeria Golino , Lloyd Bridges, Miguel Ferrer , Rowan Atkinson, David Wohl, Mitchell Ryan , and Richard Crenna spoofs his character in the Rambo films as Sheen's mentor and look for real-life dad Martin Sheen in a take-off of Apocalypse Now and Lloyd Bridges getting a chance to reprise his glory days of Sea Hunt .
The film was realized by the Kentucky group , the ironic humor is originated in the American surrealist comedy whose origin is developed since ¨Hellzapoppin¨ (by H. C. Potter) , Marx Brothers and W. C. Fields , and being based on the absurd , the lunatic and wacky happenings , and , of course , the extreme parody or spoof movie . The picture is naughty at times , but it's also intelligent and audacious . There's one comic gag each ten seconds . Rated ¨Parents Guide¨ for some profanity and sexually oriented sketches . An unsothisphicated but very amusing film that will appeal to absurd lovers and including several cinematic references . Rating : 6.5/10. Well worth watching . Great when you are in the mood for laughs that don't require thought . This is a wonderful timeless spoof that will appeal to wild and unruly humor fans . And don't miss the credits .
