¡Loca academia de pilotos! Parte 2

What can I say about this movie? A comic moment at every turn, hilarious lines and a great spoof to live by. I, being a Ryan Stiles fan, couldn't stop laughing when I first saw this. His performance was top, and Charlie Sheen just brought it all together. My favourite moments included when Dexter (Rowan Atkinson) mentioned his shoelaces being tied together, and when the army wrote the sounds of the morse code (Dah di di dah dah di dah)! Couldn't stop laughing!!! The casting is great, with Lloyd Bridges as the President and Ryan Stiles as Rainbowitz, this is a great movie spoof! I recommend this movie for slapstick fans and people who just want a laugh, a lot of laughs!!

While the original will always be considered better, this film still held true to the Hot Shots mentality. While the whole concept may have been a little dragged out, at least they didn't try to make another movie to further destroy this franchise. Charlie Sheen was once again, Charlie Sheen. With yet another tongue-in-cheek performance, Sheen proves to us he is one of the most nonchalant comedy actor of our day. Plenty of funny things to talk about, but far too many to mention.

The original HOT SHOTS was a fabulous film and was more polished and fresh than this remake. However, this is not to say this sequel is bad--it still maintains an excellent pace and will make you laugh. That's because even more than the original, the jokes come so rapid fire that if one falls flat (as many do), there is no doubt a good laugh coming only moments later.

In HOT SHOTS, the film is basically a take off on TOP GUN--with many other movie references thrown in as well. Here in PART DEUX, the story is essentially RAMBO II along with many other movie references as well. Some of the parodied films include LADY AND THE TRAMP, CASABLANCA and NO WAY OUT.

The major difference in this film is the inclusion of a new major character, Saddam Hussein! He is ridiculed repeatedly and comes off as an effeminate oaf. Late in the film, the action really heats up when the President (played wonderfully once again by Lloyd Bridges) has a final showdown with Hussein...and the film degenerates into the weirdest takeoff on TERMINATOR II that you can imagine! Overall, the plot is mostly stupid and irrelevant--which is exactly what you'd expect from such a film! This is because the plot is only an excuse for stringing together many jokes and while some of the great intellectuals out there may hate this sort of film, you can't deny that it makes you laugh...unless you LIKE Saddam Hussein! The film misses about as often as it hits, but still with so many jokes this is still a crowd pleaser. Not as good as HOT HOTS or the AIRPLANE movies, it is still well worth seeing. And, unlike many films, gets better with repeated viewing.

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 .

After being really happy with the first Hot Shots, I was excited to see the next and I have to say that Part Deux was still a ton of fun. Despite the fact that I know that this film may be a little silly and over the top with the jokes, it still was a lot of fun to watch. I think everyone needs an outrageous comedy here and there. Charlie Sheen is an absolute blast to watch, this time, they are taking on Rambo, Predator, Commando, Basic Instinct, and many other references.

Topper is asked to come back to save a bunch of American soldiers captured by Saddam Husain, but he has been dumped by Ramada and starts a steamy affair with a CIA agent who gives him her mole for luck. When he sees Ramada on the mission due to sequel casting, they stick together and the team puts in their best and saves the soldiers from the wacky dictator.

Hot Shots Part Deux is a lot of fun for certain people, like me, who enjoy these zany goof ball comedies. I really do prefer this kind of comedy to many I've seen today where it's more shock than originality. The Hot Shot movies are so much fun and I would recommend these movies for anyone. Just sit back and have fun with these comedies, I think you'll have a good time.
