Summary: RE-ARMED,RE-UNITED,RE-DICULOUS,BUT TRULY HILARIOUS SEQUEL
Review: "HOT SHOTS,PART DEUX" IS A HILARIOUS FILM SINCE "AIRPLANE", AND I WATCH THIS FILM WHENEVER IT'S ON HBO OR I MIGHT OWN IT ON DVD. IT WAS BETTER AND FUNNIER THAN THE FIRST, MOSTLY BECAUSE IT LAMPOONS OTHER FILMS LIKE "RAMBO","LADY AND THE TRAMP",AND EVEN "TERMINATOR 2". BUT THIS ONE IS THE FUNNIEST AND I LIKE IT MORE THAN PART 1, THE SCENE WERE THE FIGHT WITH CHARLIE SHEEN AND THE JAPANESE GUY WAS HILARIOUS, ALL THE OTHER SCENES WERE ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. A REALLY FUNNY SEQUEL TO LIKE, IF YOU LIKE OTHER JOKE OR LAMPOONED MOVIES, THIS IS NUMBER 1 AND THE BEST.

Summary: Not As Funny Rehash
Review: As to be expected, a sequel for Hot Shots was made after it did well at the box office. It's a shame that more thought wasn't put into this sequel. The jokes are mostly re-hashed in some form or another, thereby proving that the writers were out of ideas. There are two very unexpected cameos from both Richard Crenna and Martin Sheen which add some positive element to the film. Overall though, it really doesn't compare to the original.

Summary: Another classic...
Review: Hot Shots Part Deux goes along side the first movie, "Hot Shots" to create a perfectly hilarious romantic comedy story that will have you doubled over with laughter in no time. This movie is just as wonderful as the first one, whereas a lot of follow-ups on movies are flops. Please note that the cast is terrific with Ryan Stiles, Lloyd Bridges, Charlie Sheen, and even a quick apperance of his father, Martin Sheen. This film is good for all ages and I highly reccomend it for everyone.

Summary: Funniest Movie Ever
Review: Hot Shots! Part Deux was an awesome movie. I laughed a million times, and I especially loved the part where Rabinowitz turned around in the jungle and saw the snake, and Topper strangled the snake, and Rabinowitz gave Topper a weak smile, and then when Topper walked away, Rabinowitz goes "Urrrghh" and faints. I almost peed my pants laughing. Ryan Stiles is a great actor and deserves more recognition. He was the best actor, besides Rowan Atkinson, in this movie. All in all, this was a great movie. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you rent it and watch it, and then buy it. It's an awesome movie.

Summary: Rare: A Sequel That Outshines The Original!
Review: Hot Shots: Part Deux! is an amazing rarity---a sequel that's actually superior to the first movie. (Not that Hot Shots! was bad; it was quite funny and enjoyable in its own right.) Like the second Star Trek film, this sequel gels all of the good elements from its predecessor and discards whatever didn't quite click. In this case, the supporting cast made the movie even more than Charlie Sheen as its troubled hero Topper Harley. Returning are the late great Lloyd Bridges, this time as the president, and Valeria Golino as the lovely Ramada. Joining Topper are his former CO (Richard Crenna), a no-nonsense tough-guy soldier (Miguel Ferrer), a cool blonde CIA operative (Brenda Bakke) and Ramada's hapless yet scornful spouse (the wretchedly hilarious Rowan Atkinson).

Abandoned for no apparent reason by Ramada, Topper seeks inner peace at an Asian monastery, kicking the crap out of whoever steps into the fighting arena with him. His former CO finds him and asks Harley to go on a mission to find the men who went to find the men who were sent to find the men---you get the idea. In a filmed spoof of both other films (Rambo, Terminator II) and real-life events (President George the elder Bush's unfortunate vomiting into the lap of a Japanese official), Hot Shots Deux is funny, fresh and at times even more insane than a Leslie Neilsen movie, without the tendency to bog down that usually plagues this type of sight comedy.

Sheen, of course, deserves plenty of credit for the movie's success, for he breathes life into the potentially cardboard lead role. Crenna does an excellent if off-the-wall reprise of his colonel character from Rambo. Bridges is sickeningly funny as the semi-lunatic president who's had more parts replaced than a '71 Volkswagen and may be a couple cards shy of a full deck. Gorgeous Golino and beautiful Bakke duke it out---literally, in an homage to American Gladiator. Ferrer, not known for comedic parts, is deadpan, Joe-Friday hilarious as the hard-bitten Harbinger, especially when he goes to pieces during a battle. Atkinson is acerbic and despicable as Ramada's self-absorbed and undeserving husband. Toss into this mix a dead ringer for Saddam Hussein (with a lisp!), and the result is one crazy ride, almost as insane as the one Topper endures with the CIA blonde on a squeaky bed. Some of the humor is risque but nothing is flat-out offensive; it's not a movie for young children, but teens and adults alike should enjoy it very much.

In summary, this is that rare sequel that stepped well beyond the confines of its previous version, and was much funnier. Highly recommended for an hour and twenty-eight minutes of viewing pleasure.

Summary: More than one of the most funniest movies ever!
Review: I just loaned my DVD of this to a friend and she raved about it for days. I hadn't seen it in a few years and nearly injured myself laughing. An extremely smart flick with the perfect mix of nonsense, slapstick, and some of the best contemporary political satire one could hope for. Post Gulf War and pre 9/11 but still deeply relevant in its take on our continuing idiotic confrontation of two absolutely ridiculous cultures. No one is spared and that's the way it should be. A perfect film for those who realize the whole planet's turned into one big looney bin. This is in my top ten of all-time great satires!

Summary: RYAN STILES ROCKS!
Review: I liked both Hot Shots movies. This one is a lot better because Ryan Stiles isn't killed off like in the first. He is what makes the movie so funny. So in the words of Ryan Stiles, "Take that to the bank and cash it!"

Summary: Hilarious, Sexy!
Review: I love this movie on two different levels: one is for its hysterical take on a multitude of sacred cows. But I also love it because I get to see one of the sexiest star turns ever: Charlie Sheen. I was amazed at his stunning torso, which--unfortunately--he keeps covered up for most of the picture. In his early scenes, though, the camera films him from back as he ties on his headpiece. Then he slowly turns and Pow! He is something else. In fact, every scene he's in has that incongruously sexy aura surrounding Sheen that's almost unheard of in American movie comedies. Why he didn't continue for a few more beefcake movies after this is a mystery. IT would certainly have attracted even more fans. At least in this sequel, we get to see that marvelous, rippling torso of la Sheen, in addition to seeing one of the funniest comedies ever.
