Hot Shots! (1991)

Hot Shots classic movie DVD

This classic comedy is so much fun it should be illegal as a controlled substance. Dropping a bomb on Saddam Hussein's crotch?!? Now THAT is downright hostile but also laugh-out-loud funny. Sheen's comic timing is great, and so is that of dotty old Lloyd Bridges. Both the DVD and the seller rate A+A+A+A+. September 7, 2008

A Benchmark for Spoofs

No spoof does it quite like this anymore. Hot Shots is a megaload of witty jokes that is easily taken for granted by most critics. Scripting for spoofs has changed dramatically overtime. Nowadays it seems as if these spoofs are written over the weekend. Back in the 90's people put a lot more time and effort into developing a winning comedy. If you watch the special features, you will find that each actor really gave solid effort to the film. The all-star cast does not have a weak spot at all. Bridges (RIP) is on top of his game. Sheen is witty and classic in this one. Cary Elwes makes a great appearance in this film, as well as Brook's Robin Hood. (Please see some Mel Brooks films if you enjoy spoofs). Ryan Stiles needs more camera time, and Jon Cryer needed to come back for the sequel. I need to rent Top Gun one more time to appreciate Hot Shots! more, but by itself, the film really stands tall as an outrageous comedy. If you want to see more of Sheen or Lloyd Bridges, then see where the comedy began. Hot Shots! is one of the best spoof classics out there. May 8, 2008

Jim Abrams strikes again!

Lloyd Bridges found a new niche at the end of his career and it is a great one to have!! He is priceless in yet another Abrams spoof of Top Gun movies! Get the buttered popcorn and a mug of Coca Cola and get control of the remote! If you love the Abrams/Zucker spoofs, get this one too!! June 11, 2007

Great money.... woops I mean it's Very funny

There are so many movies like Hot Shots, but this DVD is well worth the price. I would suggest everyone getting it. It's just a funny spoof of a whole bunch of movies. This Hot Shots movie is better then Hot Shots! Part Deux by the way. February 11, 2007

Good, But Not As Enjoyable As Part Deux

This "Top Gun" spoof gets mixed emotions for me. Charlie Sheen, Cary Elwes and Lloyd Bridges are definitely the high points of the film, they are hilarious! So is this film, but towards the end during the last battle scene it gets dull. This is supposed to be a comedy, but they leave that for an almost serious battle sequence with just little gags thrown in every now and then. When you are laughing hard most of the time, you notice when the film drags. My personal favorite part is the wall eye vision. Overall, I really did enjoy this movie; it just started to drag a little towards the end, but picks up again right at the end March 28, 2006
