"My father used to say that not playing to win is like sleeping with your sister. Sure she's a great piece of tail, with a blouse full of goodies, but... it's just illegal. Then you get into that whole inbred thing. Kids with no teeth who do nothing but play the banjo... eat apple sauce through a straw... pork farm animals."

This is the greatest movie ever made.

"What do you do with an elephant with three balls? You walk him and pitch to the rhino."

How Lloyd Bridges never won an Oscar for HOT SHOTS is beyond me. The mere sight of him in this movie makes me LOL so hard.

"Alpha Velveeta Knuckle Underwear, you are cleared for take-off. When you hit that nuclear weapons plant... drop a bomb for me!"
"Uh, Sphincter Mucus Niner Ringworm, roger!"

I think that quote about sums up the silliness of Hot Shots!

I remember watching this with my brothers as a kid and absolutely dying with laughter and it still makes me crack up now! There are even a few things that I picked up on this rewatch that I have never noticed before.

Lloyd Bridges is an absolute comic genius and he has the best lines throughout the film by far, so good.
I had to LOL at Charlie and Alan being together, this is something I'd never ever thought about before.
And i love Cary Ewles doing comedy, he's really great. Need to rewatch me some Men in Tights again soon!

Please, if you haven't seen Hot Shots! get it in your life!

Back when parodies were funny...

This film still has some solid jokes in it.  However it’s salad joke was weak.

1991 was a simple time when not only parody movies were still good, but Charlie Sheen was also still keeping his sanity in tact.

Watched this so many times as a kid. Surprising how well this holds up.

I was so young the last time I saw this (‘91 maybe) that when he started cooking bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns on her stomach during sex it scared me because I thought she was burning that hot and also that this is something people could do while being intimate.

I also could only remember the parts with Valeria Golino in it, but pleasently enough this film also stars Cary Elwes, Jon Cryer, and blink and you miss it Ryan Stiles and Kristy Swanson!

I tend to enjoy the bad jokes as much as the ones that land. I’m a Repossessed and Silence of The Hams type girl, I’m easy.

What you get when a cliff notes version of Top Gun fuses with Looney Tunes.

Besides a couple of cute gags, there isn't much here.

"What do you do with an elephant with three balls?
You walk him and pitch to the rhino."

I have never seen this many people falling over in one single film, but the bad jokes still make you laugh. They make you laugh quite a lot apparently.
