Samenvattingen(1)

Recruited to join a top-secret mission for the Air Force, a renegade pilot (Sheen) finds himself coping with an incompetent admiral (Bridges) and a carefully selected squadron of flyers who are either inept or half-blind. He also winds up in competition with the corps' model of military perfection (Elwes) for the heart of the base's sultry psychiatrist (Golino). (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

Engels Hot Shots! (not Top Gun, that's nonsense, but who could've known at that time :D) is quite an amusing parody of Top Gun. It's definitely one of the best parodies of that time, but nowadays I prefer Leslie Nielsen. Charlie Sheen as Topper Harley is excellent, though. Still, I never expected this movie to receive such high ratings and become such a classic, but as a Sunday afternoon comedy, it's fantastic. EDIT. With each rewatch, it ages like fine wine, especially after a cinema screening...95%...[8.6.2020_Moviezone Kino Aero_Prague] ()

Engels Hot Shots has been, and still is one of my favorite parodies. It’s true that some scenes didn’t age very well and looked rather lame, but I myself have undergone a far more unflattering transformation during that time and Jim Abrahams never criticized me either, so I’m sticking with five stars. I can honestly say I had a great time yet again. ()

Engels A parody from the old days when the genre was not only based on copied scenes of more famous colleagues and a lot of banging heads and farting... ()

Engels A legendary parody that completely captivated me even as a little boy, and even today I realize that something like this simply entertains me. It's crazy, but it's incredibly graceful at the same time. No scatological humor, no unnecessarily screaming characters, just a great parody of "Top Gun" with an even greater Charlie Sheen, who was simply born for parodies. True, I always preferred the sequel, but this is great too. ()

Engels A canon of American crazy comedy. It doesn't only reflect on what is good for it (that which is the most spectacular), but it takes the war film/agitation genre as a whole and reveals its stupidity in complete nudity. Some gags (visual or verbal) are simply unforgettable. So: apt, funny, successful. A clear leader in its field. Some flyers have more than just steel penises... ()
