"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."

"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!

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.

Back when parodies were funny...

I just needed some dumb laughs to cheer me up and distract me today thanks to the action of 53% of the UK's population yesterday who have been convinced by the likes of Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Iain Duncan Smith and Nigel Farage.

FFS

Lloyd Bridges should’ve won every award on the planet for this.

One of the few parody films that is actually funny....

Hot Shots! is easily one of the funniest movies of all time. There is barely any time throughout this movie where I wasn't laughing. The characters while hilarious are very forgettable. I can't remember any of their names which is sad since in most of my favorite comedies I can remember all of the character's names. That however doesn't change how funny this movie is. It's a start to finish comedy that easily makes spoof comedies my favorite type of comedies since I love movies like Airplane! and The Naked Gun. Charlie Sheen is so funny in this movie and I'd say about 99.999999% of the jokes work. There are maybe like 1 or 2 that don't work, but besides that this is most I've laughed while watching a movie since the first time I watched Airplane! It's definitely worth a watch and not something comedy lovers want to miss.

It's still fun as hell when I revisits Hot Shots with some years in between. I love the total exaggeration of injuries and changes that happened to Lloyd Bridge's character Admiral Benson.

Still prettttty funny but pretttty racist also. Low-key favorite gag? Accidentally sitting on the dog.

Faszinierend, dass man Filme, die man vor 10 Jahren das letzte Mal gesehen hat, noch in und auswendig kennt und an die Filme, die ich letzte Woche gesehen habe, kann ich mich nicht mehr erinnern.
Gefiel mir jetzt wieder deutlich besser, als bei meiner letzten Sichtung.

Hebe nie ab vom Acker ohne deinen Tacker!!

Lloyd Bridges really dominates the parody here. So stupid but I love it.

.

Truly hilarious every eight minutes or so, but there's a lot of failed jokes in between, delivered by one of the more remarkably uncharismatic casts I can think of.

BTW this movie spent four weeks at #1 and made the equivalent of 150 million dollars in 2018 money and has a scene in which a man cooks a full breakfast on a lady's stomach
