 As silly as a Marx Brothers movie July 3, 2006
Scott (Texas)

While the Marx Brothers focuses less on sight gags and more on word play, this film reminds me of their films in many ways. It's an interesting comedy revolving around a military plot.
A terrorist dictator is holding many Americans hostage, and only one man can lead the way to save them. That man is Topper Harley, who no longer wants to be a part of any war. He only fights for show now, dipping his hands in ice cream toppings just before a contest.
Topper is somehow talked into the mission, and meets his girlfriend from the first movie along the way. She disguises herself as a man on a fishing boat to avoid being caught by patrol men on the river, but things erupt when she's seen entering the clearly marked women's restroom on the little boat.
Topper goes on a shooting spree, leaving a body count higher than that of both Robocop and total Recall, until Hot Shots Part Deux becomes the bloodiest movie EVER! Then the hostages are set free.
Topper rescues a tortured prisoner who can't walk because the terrorists tied his shoelaces together, and the good guys win after dropping a piano on the terrorist dictator.
Something ridiculous happens every 10 to 30 seconds in the film, so there's plenty here to keep anybody amused. There's also a scene where the president vomits on the lap of the Japanese Emperor. Look familiar?
I've never seen the first Hot Shots movie, but that in no way kept me from enjoying this great sequel. Completely absurd and highly recommended. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
 Clever beyond words May 30, 2006

Charlie Sheen returns for part 2 which is basically a send-up of Rambo with T2, Seahunt, Apocalypse Now and Kickboxer thrown in for good measure. Sheen's Topper Harley is brought in to rescue prisoners from Irag, including several other rescue parties that got captured trying to rescue the original prisoners. Lloyd Bridges is hilarious as the president who never quite knows what's going on. Sheen does a good Rambo impersonation and they have Richard Crenna playing the same father figure role he played in the Rambo movies. There are site gags galore and clever wordplay. So much goes on you have to watch it more than once to catch everything.

Charlie Sheen is impeccable in this film! Great script turned great movie; the spoof element is there (maybe not as strong as the first film,) but HS: Part Deux is funny; actually, its very funny if you enjoy this type of 'funny' that is.
See it if you liked:
Loaded Weapon
Naked Gun (any of them)
Blazing Saddles
Space Balls
Overall great fun!
