 Hot Hot Hot shots September 28, 2004

I rented this movie and watched it as soon as I walked in the door. I liked it so much, I watched it the next morning when I got up. I think I'm coming down with a bad case of CSO (Charlie Sheen Obsession) If you're a female Sheen fan, you can't miss this one. He is super hot in this movie. I think I'll watch it again. Right now.
Seriously though, the movie is hilarious, I liked it better than the first one, and I really liked the first one. There isn't a boring part of the movie, my throat hurts from laughing (and panting) through almost the entire movie. I give it 10 out of 5 stars.

This movie is a special treat for mature war film buffs. It has great over-the-top acting with truely masterful comedic performances from a cast of veteran actors. Charlie Sheen has the ripped tough guy look downpat. The late Richard Crenna plays a perfect straight hard core military officer. Well paced,excellent production values,photography, sound effects, multiple layers of humor, with sight gags, and dialogue that uses many double meanings. LLoyd Bridges does a scene reminiscent of the famous early 1960's "Sea Hunt" series that is a side splitter. Tremendous political satire of Pres.Bush 41, and Saddam Hussein. The movie uses sexual situations and word play masterfully.( Ex. An Iraqi interrogator using Yiddish expressions) "Hot Shots! Part Duex" wickedly parodies the gun violence and martial arts in many action movies. If you have seen the TV series Sea Hunt, American Gladiators; the movies: Rambo, Navy Seals, Terminator II, KickBoxer, Apocalypse Now and know anything about the Iraq War.. you'll just fall out of your chair laughing. What "Blazing Saddles" did to the Western Genre and "Spaceballs" does to science fiction and "Shrek" did to animated films.. "Hot Shots! Part Duex" does to action war films.

If you like comedies, movies about the military, or comedy movies about the military, then grab this one. It's fully loaded with great site gags, one-liners, and jabs at those "serious" military flicks. A great group of cast members who play off each other remarkably well. You'll laugh yourself right out of your camouflaged BVDs.
Hilarious, Sexy! February 9, 2004

I love this movie on two different levels: one is for its hysterical take on a multitude of sacred cows. But I also love it because I get to see one of the sexiest star turns ever: Charlie Sheen. I was amazed at his stunning torso, which--unfortunately--he keeps covered up for most of the picture. In his early scenes, though, the camera films him from back as he ties on his headpiece. Then he slowly turns and Pow! He is something else. In fact, every scene he's in has that incongruously sexy aura surrounding Sheen that's almost unheard of in American movie comedies. Why he didn't continue for a few more beefcake movies after this is a mystery. IT would certainly have attracted even more fans. At least in this sequel, we get to see that marvelous, rippling torso of la Sheen, in addition to seeing one of the funniest comedies ever.
