Summary: Okay
Review: I enjoyed this movie it had some funny gags and jokes but some of the gags and jokes worked and some didn't and it isn't as funny as Airplane or Naked Gun but I really like Charlie Sheen he was very good in this movie. I would recommend that people rent this first before deciding if they want to buy it unless they have already seen it and really like it enough to add to their collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Despite Sheen
Review: I guess you can see from the title of this review I am not a big Charlie Sheen fan. There were tons of men that would have shined in this film. Sheen does an okay job ( seeing how he isn't a comedian ) but he is overshadowed by a funny script and funnier co-stars. This film makes fun of famous dramas like " 9 1/2 Weeks " but is mainly a parody of " Top Gun ". Hot Shots is an enjoyable movie that sticks to a strong plot. It doesn't end up falling into that trap of " trying " to be funny like some spoofs. It's not as good as " Naked Gun " by all means but it is a heck of a lot better than " Hot Shots: Part Duex " which was far too silly for my taste.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally on DVD....YES !!!
Review: I have to say this is probably my favorite comedy of all time. This HAS to be one of the funniest movies ever made. What truly amazes me about this movie, is that i've 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. This movie is a classic and i think everyone should watch it again and again. I love this movie far more than the sequel. I've never watched this movie without laughing. some of the most hilarious characters besides Admiral Benson, are "washout" and "deadmeat" !!!! I love this movie ! One of the best movies ever made. get your dvd copy now.

Summary: Great Movie!
Review: I saw this movie for the first time and I loved it. Everything about this movie was funny. I thought the boxer who went down in 2 seconds without actually getting hit was good. I thought the scene with the olive being popped in Golino's mouth straight from her belly button was staggering and the "sizzling belly" with bacon and eggs frying on it was funny and sexy. I also loved the part with that old Indian guy who I guess was playing like he knew hi-tech stuff when he was listening to "U Can't Touch This" by M.C. Hammer. "Washout" was funny too with his wall-eye vision. It was a great movie overall.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hilarious Top Gun Spoof
Review: If you've seen Top Gun, you will laugh very hard at this movie. A lot of jokes are quick-fired during this spoof, some of which work very well and others which are kind of [bad]. The characters are all very funny though, especially Lloyd Bridges who pretty much steals the show as a senile old Naval Admiral. There are also lots of funny cameos and surprises around every corner. This is definitely worth checking out if you're disappointed with the way today's spoofs have a habit of not being funny at all.

The DVD for Hot Shots is pretty impressive. While not too heavy in the extras department, the video is pretty clean and the sound is surprisingly good. The box says nothing to indicate it, but this disc is actually remastered in 5.1. The 5.1 is very effective at times, with split surround use popping up everywhere during the flight sequences. It almost sounds better than the dated 5.1 mix on the real Top Gun. Now there's a movie that needs a re-release.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Goof Comedy!
Review: If your not into those whacky comedy spoofs then you will hate this Parody of Top Gun, amongst other movies! But I love these kind of send up whacky comedys, and this one is high up there with the best of them all!

Charlie Sheen plays Topper Harley and has had a bad past with the US Air Force and has quit the army... but the Army needs him once again and with non stop stupidity and comedy through the movie from door bells on Indian Tee Pees, to Barbequing hot hots with the jets of fighter planes, and a dog that just keeps getting sat on amongst many others, this movie will have you laughing your tushy off!

Its no acadamey award winner, but thats obviously not the idea for this comic life movie! It parodys a lot of movies, mostly Top Gun, but adds its own great jokes to the plot with outrages slapstick humour!

Part 2 - Wasnt as great. It sends up alot of movies and the plot changes completly into a difreent type of movie! But if you can, the edition thats available in regoin 4 at the moment of Part one and Two togther in the same package is worth getting!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Hot Shots
Review: Maybe it's just because I haven't seen Top Gun, but when I first saw this film I was absolutely clueless. Yeah, there were some funny parts and humor from the makers of Airplane, Naked Gun, and Mafia, but the plot fell a little short. Charlie Sheen plays Topper Harley and follows his fathers footsteps when he flies in the Navy. There's also other great appearances by Cary Elwes and Lloyd Bridges (getting a little older), and silly characters like Washout and Dead Meat. I suggest you see Top Gun first, maybe then you will get more of the jokes. I give credit to Jim Abrahams and Pat Proft, though, because Top Gun seems like a tough movie to spoof.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Comedy at its best
Review: No real plot, no real emotion just scene after scene of hilarious stupid humor, just the way a movie should be made.

"Ah! I lost my cap! Swing around and we'll pick it up" "We're on the mission sir" "Ah, good thinking. Put Rubertawitz down in a life raft to mark the spot." "We could be out here for days sir" "Then put some food on the raft! Do I have to think of everything. We'll tape all his favorite show, he won't miss anything. Fine, how am I suppose to be an Admiral without my cap. It's out there all alone, and I'm here powerless to do anything about it."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The ultimate comedy of all time
Review: Put simply, this is one of (if not THE) greatest spoof comedies off all time. I have literally seen this movie over 50 times and it NEVER ceases to make me laugh uncontrollably. Lloyd Bridges has to be the funniest character in the movie...hands down. This movie needs a 10 out of 5 star rating, but this is as high as I can select :0)

Where in the heck is the DVD???????????
