  Review by Erika ★★★★ 1

  "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.

  Review by Sofa Sinema ★★★½

  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

  Hot Shots! - Die Mutter aller Filme
  Jahr: 1993
  Regie: Jim Abrahams
  Testosteron-Pakete: Lt. Topper Harley

  Noch so’n Spruch, Leistenbruch! Noch so’n Ding, Augenring!

  Woran erkennt man legendäre und kultige Filme?
  Genau, wenn sie schon kurz nach ihrem Erscheinen ihren eigenen Spoof-Movie bekommen.
  So erging es auch hier einigen Filmen, wurden sie doch herrlich von Charlie Sheen unter der Regie von Jim Abrahams durch den Kakao gezogen.
  Allen voran natürlich „Top Gun“, der offensichtlich als größte Inspiration für Die Mutter aller Filme diente, aber auch Filme wie „Der mit dem Wolf tanzt“, „9 ½ Wochen“, „Rocky“ und sicherlich zahlreiche andere, deren Verweise ich nicht erkannte, fielen dem Klamaukangriff von…

  Review by Edgar Cochran ★★★½ 4

  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

  Review by Andrew Ferguson ★★★

  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!

  Review by MichaelEternity ★★★★★ 4

  For me, the ne plus ultra of movie spoofs. The only reason I wouldn't choose "Young Frankenstein", "Blazing Saddles", "Airplane!", "Top Secret" or "The Naked Gun" instead is because "Hot Shots!" arrived at the exact right time in my adolescence, whereas the others were a bit too early.

  The milkman drives by in the morning and tosses the bottles like a paperboy, shattering them against the front door.

  A doctor urgently wheels a patient down the hall to the operating room: "Nurse, check his penis. Is it longer than mine?"

  A pilot tells a woman not to watch as her husband's plane plummets to a crash in the near distance so he turns her around protectively but behind them is…

  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.

  Review by Cadinho93 ★★★★½

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

  Hot Shots! is one of the funniest films ever made. The film stars: LT Sean "Topper" Harley (Charlie Sheen), LT Kent Gregory (Cary Elwes), Ramada Thompson (Valeria Golino), RADM Thomas "Tug" Benson (Lloyd Bridges), LCDR James Block (Kevin Dunn), LT Jim "Wash Out" Pfaffenbach (Jon Cryer), LT Pete "Dead Meat" Thompson (William O'Leary), Kowalski (Kristy Swanson), Wilson (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) and Leland "Buzz" Harley (Bill Irwin). LT Sean "Topper" Harley (Charlie Sheen) plays a "Top Gun" type of charater that is trying to go against his father's reputation, who is still be able to fly, fight and all. However, when LCDR James Block (Kevin Dunn) offers a second chance…

  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.
