  Hot Shots! Is a spoof of Top Gun. This is a pretty funny film that has lots of memorable moments. The cast do a pretty decent job at bringing on the laughs, and each character is memorable. There are plenty of funny bits in the film, and as far as spoof films are concerned, Hot Shots! Is a pretty good film considering. The film is nothing special, but is nonetheless a lot of fun. I've seen it a few times, and it still manages to hold up quite a bit. I still enjoy it, and what I like about the film is that it's still a good spoof film compared to the many unfunny ones of recent memory. Hot Shots! Is a very funny comedy to watch with friends and it's one of the best spoof films of the 80's. Of course this film doesn't beat Airplane! But this film is still pretty funny for what it is. There are plenty of great lines here that are quotable and humorous. I've never really been that big into Charlie Sheen, I much loved him in Platoon, Young Guns and Major League and Hot Shots! I think that this is Sheen's best comedy film along with Major League. The film has many good gags, and will most likely appeal to fans of Top Gun as much as fans of spoof films. As a comedy, Hot Shots! Works well because the gags are a lot of fun, and the humor is well crafted. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's still a pretty good film to watch. A very entertaining comedy that will make you laugh. This film is lots of fun too.

  An okay spoof movie, it has a fair amount of funny jokes, but it could have been a lot better.

  Another funny farce. If you like anything by Mel Brooks, the Airplane films, or a Farrelly brothers masterpiece, then you'll love this.

  The gags and jokes are pretty darn funny. Watched this on Mother's Day of '09 with my cousin and all I can say we laughed and had a good time. But Hot Shots 2 is slightly better. "I'm goin' to Disneyland."

  Hot Shots is one of my favourite movies when it comes to comedy. It was made in a time that farting and burping weren't yet considered as the very best humour has to offer. This film is very enjoyable when you don't know any of the movies this parody has been based on (very hard to believe), but when you do know the movies, Hot Shots is really hilarious from time to time. Most of the time they make fun of Top Gun, but movies like Superman, Dances with Wolves, Gone with the Wind... can be recognized in it as well. Topper Harley is an excellent pilot who left the navy because he couldn't cope with the feelings of guilt over his father. His father didn't do enough to help his co-pilot during a mission and the poor man got killed in an awful way. When he found out, Topper decided never to fly again. He now lives on his own with an Indian and a wolf, inhaling helium. However, when Lt Commander Block offers a second chance, to take part in secret mission Sleepy Weasel, Topper decides to fly again, although this means that he'll have to deal with a difficult love interest and his old fears. This movie certainly scores above average when you ask me.

  Some funny bits but its no Airplane!

  Probably the best spoof since the 'Naked Gun'. Sheen and Bridges really hit the mark as they lampoon Top Gun brilliantly. The effects are cheesey but good and the laughs range from childish to very smart. Spoofs and airplanes seem to work very well together. 'are… More

  this film still manages to raise lots of smiles with me, even though I almost know it off by heart, it certainly appeals to my sense of humour

• Martin S

  
  This was a disapointment....the second one is much better

  Not as enjoyable as I remember it to be, but still a worthwhile and fun enough spoof flick, that parodies classics such as Top Gun, Dances with Wolves and A Few Good Men. It's a pleasant reminder of a time when this genre wasn't all about lame Britney Spears jokes or pointless MTV references.

  Funny, but I can't remember this one very well.

• danny d

  
  really funny slapstic

• Dan S

  
  Hilarious, extremely off the wall movie that had my dying the first time I saw it.

• Lafe F

  
  A very light-hearted comedy with a some groaner jokes, and many good ones.

• Dean !

  
  A good spoof of action films, mainly Top Gun, with some great visual gags.

• jay n

  
  silly but fun

• xGary X

  
  The usual scattershot genre spoofing turns it's attention to Top Gun and it's ilk. Fine if you like this kind of thing, but personally I thought Top Gun was funnier...

• Jason S

  
  Funny and with a pretty good cast.
