Would chose this any day over the more modern spoof movies which is actually not much of a praise but still needed to be mentioned.Born in Klamath Falls, Oregon, and raised in Portland, Brenda Bakke moved to Los Angeles to study acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Maybe does not hold up good enough anymore but it is entertaining enough for me to rewatch once in a while. Overall I see it as a classic comedy of its time. Other might find it too silly and it is a lesser experience if you don't know the sources that the parody elements aim at (Not valid for most of us as many are timeless classics or well known). There are a few negatives: It reaches not the levels of the best parodies but is still really good. ![]() This added a lot for me as all fells familiar. You can clearly identify the sources or movies they want to spoof / make fun of. Other than that the movie looks really good. I say we got a great performance by genre standards. There is a small cameo of Martin Sheen and Rowan Atkinson has some scenes but I say he is wasted. His performance is just too entertaining to not be praised. A hidden star is Jerry Haleva as Saddam Hussein (Yes, that one). Valeria Golino resumes her role as Ramada Hayman and has a history with new character Michelle Huddleston played by Brenda Bakke. He has a bigger role and is so enjoyable to watch. Lloyd Bridges is also back and now President of the USA. Again he has the Leslie Nielsen power of being totally serious in the most hilarious situations. Cast: Charlie Sheen returns as Topper Harley and nails his role. I will repeat that this can also be a point of criticism as many jokes are not deep and often the complaint is heard that it has too much silliness. In comparison to the prequel they went up to eleven. ![]() It has a good mixture of humor and the characters / actors enhance this experience. The main parody of the movie is Rambo but there are countless other sources for parody like for example Apocalypse Now, Basic Instinct, Lady and the Tramp, American Gladiators, Terminator 2, commercials, Disney and even a side blow to violent movies in general. It is so fun to watch, full of crazy ideas and it takes itself not serious if it can make a great joke. Humor: This is why I like the sequel better. The story is a good vehicle for the humor and it delivers well. This is a start to a hilarious funny and entertaining adventure. However things do not go as planned and the people in charge try to get Topper Harley back into action who has retired to a small village in Thailand. Martin Sheen in Hot Shots Part Deux After The Naked Gun and Airplane successfully claimed the comedic box office, the tiger-blooded Charlie Sheen decided to win in the parody genre with Hot Shots that poked fun at action films like Top Gun and Rambo. Story: During the second Iraq war a rescue mission is started to free captured soldiers. Also returning from the first film are Valeria Golino and Lloyd Bridges. Charlie Sheen returns as Topper Harley, who is asked to join a rescue team to get back his former commanding officer who was caught behind enemy lines. While the first is a parody of Top Gun this one is a parody of Rambo. Part Deux (French for ' Part Two ') is the 1993 sequel to Hot Shots (1991). It is again a comedy or better said parody / spoof movie. I freely admit that this can also be what other viewers can hate or dislike with passion and strangely I can understand that. The movie has more silly, over the top and hilarious humor but the good kind. It is again a comedy or I am in the minority that liked it better than the prequel. I freely admit that this can also be what other viewers can hate or dislike with passion and strangely I can understand that.
