Coincidentally enough, Richard Crenna plays the Colonel in both pieces. It follows a similar plot as the one from ‘Rambo: First Blood Part 2’, which is that our hero is sent out to rescue POWs. ‘Hot Shots! Part Deux’ (or “Part Dooh”, as the ads’ voice over, would say) is a follow-up to the story of Topper Harley, once a pilot and now a retired, Rambo-like bushwhacker, now reclused in a Buddhist village. Saddam Hussein: “They’ve dicked with the wrong dictator!” Jim Abraham’s assured direction.Įyesores: the seemingly interminable last act. Pining for his former lover (Valeria Golino) in a Buddhist temple, Topper manages to pull himself together and sets out on his laugh-filled, action-packed task. hostages and the countless men who have already been sent in to rescue them. This time the country’s incompetent president (Lloyd Bridges) sends him to the Middle East to rescue U.S. It's fantastic!" Even Rowan Atkinson is funny in this film.Synopsis: In this hilarious Hot Shots! sequel, former renegade pilot Topper Harley (Charie Sheen) is once again recruited for a secret mission. The only way this film could be any better is if Miguel Ferrer had more screen time.

Then I think to myself - Why pick the three-hour plus GODFATHER PART II when a hundred times more out of the 90 minute HOT SHOTS PART DEUX? Does THE GODFATHER PART II have Al Pacino using a chicken as an arrow? No! So when you are looking at your shiny DVD collection and thinking "I think I'll watch a GODFATHER movie" my advise is to pick up HOT SHOTS PART DEUX and watch it.
When people consider the great sequels of all time, usually they pick THE GODFATHER PART II. This is quite possibly the last great American female role with substance to it and sadly none have close since. She also kicks a considerable amount of butt without ever losing her grace and femininity. Valeria Golino is a goddess for all the ages and also displays impeccable comedic skills. Charlie Sheen, despite his off-screen propensities, has always been an agreeable screen presence and here he delivers his performances for the ages.
It is the most devastating and uplifting story of love, war and sacrifice since CASABLANCA and it has rip-roaring action scenes (Die! Energizer! Bunny! Die!) on par with the mighty movies it is (lovingly) parodying. It is the most consistently side-splittingly funny film since Chaplin and Keaton at their peak. And once you reach the peak the only way is down. Part of the reason for this is that HOT SHOTS! PART DEUX is an Everest of film-making that has yet to been scaled since. Let it be etched on stone: Since HOT SHOTS! PART DEUX was released American comedy cinema has been in a steep decline.
