Part Deux, Jim Abrahams' sequel to Hot Shots -- only now the object of the skewering is the Stallone Rambo movies instead of Top Gun. Charlie Sheen returns as the lunk-headed Topper Harley, who has retreated to a Buddhist monastery after being dumped by Ramada Rodham Hayman (Valerie Golino). In this far-off retreat, the monks have "taken a vow of celibacy, just like their fathers and their fathers before them." But Topper bulks up and goes back into action when his superior officer, Colonel Denton Walters (Richard Crenna) is captured by a Saddam Hussein look-alike, missing somewhere between "Iraq and a Hard Place." Topper charges into Iraq (after barreling through a Beverly Hills barbecue) along with sexy CIA operative Michelle Rodham Huddleston (Brenda Bakke) in tow, his guns ablazing. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
This is a long way from the inspirations of Airplane!
-
Trevor Lewis, Time Out
Unlike its grim predecessor, there are at least two chuckles this time round.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Is nothing sacred to the makers of Hot Shots! Part Deux? Nope. Not a thing.
-
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
God help me, I laughed and slapped my thighs.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
One of the pleasures of watching a spoof like this is to spot the references; it's like a quiz on pop art.
