"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."

"Quick, nurse check his penis. See if its longer than mine."

Hot Shots! is one of the funniest films ever made. It's Charlie Sheen at his best. What truly amazes me about the movie is that I have seen it over 100 times and every single time I find something NEW about it. There's always something happening in the background, that you might not notice at first, most of which are very subtle. It's a classic and everyone should watch it again and again. I loved the film as a kid and I still love it now. Overall, I've never watched "Hot Shots!" without laughing.

When a parody is better than the original, you know you're talking about something special, but it's not a first-timer for Abrahams. Several unpredictable gags, great transitions, effective humor, endless quotes, and everything is actually well shot! Replay value is high as you'll surely notice new details every single time.

75/100

Nurse, check his penis, is it bigger than mine?
No, doctor
Can you save him doc?
Well, it’s hard to say. I’m not a very good doctor.

This wasn’t as funny as the other top level of spoof movies like Airplane and Top Secret. A lot of the jokes didn’t quite land for me and I wasn’t a huge fan of Charlie Sheen in this. That said though, the number of times this made me laugh out loud can’t be ignored, the jokes that did land I found to be hysterical and Lloyd Bridges is just a treasure.

God, I love a good funeral!

The effort and budget that once went into mainstream spoof comedy is so interesting to see now. This is in league with Monty Python and Mel Brooks in terms of consistently clever sight gags. Charlie Sheen donning the Superman outfit was also impressive, and he had the jawline and physique to do it justice. 7.7/10

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.

??????

gets points for being kind of gay positive?? certainly homoerotic at the very least. but I have to take off at least three stars for the scene where charlie sheen fries bacon on that girl’s stomach or I won’t be able to live with myself.

Il y a trop de jokes d’avions qui sont comme des chars, mais il y a un bon rythme de quelqu’un qui tombe ou qui se cogne pour compenser. Et Lloyd Bridges évidemment.

Ça vaut pas autant d’étoiles, mais qu’est ce que vous voulez, la nostalgie, je le connais par coeur alors je ris encore on cue sans arrêt. Ah oui mes gars demandaient “pourquoi?” à chaque gag absurde au début, ça a pris du temps pour qu’ils catchent le genre d’humour. Mais le monde qui tombe ça marche tout le temps.

Le gag du gars qui éternue dans son radar a une drôle de vibe aujourd’hui.

Hot Shots! war für mich so ziemlich die letzte Möglichkeit doch irgendwie mit den sogenannten "Spoof-Filmen" warm zu werden. Ich fand zwar Die nackte Kanone ganz nett, allerdings hat mich bisher noch kein Film aus diesem Sub-Genre so richtig überzeugen können. Und leider ändert auch Hot Shots! nichts daran. Gut: Dieser Film hat mich nicht einmal annähernd so sehr genervt wie Top Secret!, trotzdem habe ich mich eher durch den Film gequält, als dass er mir gefallen hat. Einzig und allein Charlie Sheen und ein paar überraschend gelungene Gags bringen mich dazu, den Film gerade so als durchschnittlich bezeichnen zu können. Enttäuscht bin ich trotzdem. Ich werde aber auch der Fortsetzung eine Chance geben und wer weiß...Vielleicht werde ich damit den Spaß meines Lebens haben!

I wanted to hear the rest of the chafing dish/Crock-pot conversation.

Die Credits haben eine schöne Überraschung parat.

"it's not another woman, is it? i just couldn't compete with that."
"no, you couldn't"

how could someone in their right mind choose CHARLIE SHEEN over Cary Elwes!! who's in uniform and looks fantastic!! and just a (cocky) sweetheart like the entire movie?? I felt like I was losing my mind I stg

anyway this was funny, I definitely laughed a lot more than I thought I would!! obviously reminiscent of airplane! but some of the jokes just missed or made me groan (the weird breakfast made on her stomach scene? wack). however, I loved the little gag in the ambulenece and the hair curlers in cary's hair lol that was a cute look. also, this definitely gets an extra half star for a Ryan Stiles cameo!!!

This film is being awarded today’s Some Good Gags award! All thanks to you!

A great movie with some classic gags. A film in the same vein as Airplane, heavily spoofing Top Gun. One of Charlie Sheen's funniest roles.

Roger that, Milli Vanilli Chilly Willy.

Decent lil banger with some solid visual gags and idiotic misunderstandings that reminds of of the Naked Gun series. Speaking of, it was hard not to see the writers trying their hardest to make Lloyd Bridges into another Lesile Nielsen, but his performance fell flat for me.
Also the whole bit where the Arabic pilots and Native Americans would speak in gibberish was gross.

my ex made me watch this movie and i hate it so much you have no idea. i'm glad i watched top gun first because now i'm forever tainted by this shit

Der muss einfach alle Jahre wieder mal sein. Strotzt das ganze im englischen sowie schon vor Klamauk, setzten die deutschen Synchrontexter schön immer eine Schippe mehr drauf. Soviele absurd wundervolle Momente, dass ich den hier zum Comdey-Pflichtprogramm erkläre.

It's inconsistent, I enjoyed the first half more, but as silly ZAZ style comedies go this is perfectly fine. The best gags work way too well for me to seriously complain I wanted more of them. Best scene in the film is by far the nightclub, plenty of memorable moments that made me laugh out loud. Lloyd Bridges' character does get a little annoying though. I've also never realised how much a young Charlie Sheen looks like his dad. Watch it.
