About this movie

In this hilarious "Hot Shots!" sequel, former renegade pilot Topper Harley (Charlie Sheen) is once again recruited for a secret mission. This time the country's incompetent president (Lyod Bridges) sends him to the Middle East to resue U.S. hostages and the countless men who have already been sent in to rescue them. Pining for his former lover (Valeria Golino) in a Buddhist temple, Topper manages to pull himself together and sets out on his laugh-laden, action-packed task.

Ratings and reviews

While the plot is relatively simple, the film's strength lies in its witty writing and physical comedy. However, some of the humor may not appeal to everyone, as it leans heavily on slapstick and pop culture references. Overall, Hot Shots! Part Deux is a fun and entertaining watch for those who appreciate silly, over-the-top comedies

Lots of great sight gags, hilarious slapstick, and a thorough skewering of every action movie from Star Wars to Rambo. Plus, every time you watch it, you notice a new hidden joke (like the lava lamps in the monastery). Even the credits are funny! Highly recommended.

My favorite movie when I was 10... Over a decade later and it's still a guilty pleasure. Long live Charlie Sheen!
