5-0 out of 5 stars The Mother of all Slapstick
After setting the police profession back 100 years with the "Naked Gun" movie, director Jim Abrahams decided to set his sights on the military with "Hot Shots." And the military will never be the same again.

What makes this movie so much fun are the sight gags that are in almost every scene. As with all good slapstick comedy movies, there are too many sight gags for you to be able to catch them all the first, and even second, time around. Every time you watch this movie, you will find another sight gag that you hadn't noticed before.

The movie also comes with a great comedic cast. It stars Charlie Sheen who for the first time really gets a chance to show how funny he can be (his previous comedy movies are pretty much forgettable). He is supported by Jon Cryer, Lloyd Bridges, and Cary Elwes. Each of these people have a great track record on their own when it comes to comedy. Together, they make the movie work.

3-0 out of 5 stars Hot Shots
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.

5-0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!
Hot Shots is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Charlie Sheen is okay, but in my opinion, the real comic here is Lloyd Bridges, playing Admiral Benson. Of course there are many other funny characters including the wall-eyed vision Washout. If you like movies with stupid humor, this is a must see.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Goof Comedy!
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!

4-0 out of 5 stars Good Despite Sheen
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. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars AN ALMOST CLASSIC
This is a hillarious movie! Chris Farley and Matthew Perry serve as an ideal on screen comedy duo. I'm not a big Farley fan, I love Tommy Boy, but everything he made after that, to me, was repetative. But this movie just works well with his clumbsiness, and he just makes you laugh non stop. This movie moght not be as funny the first time around, but it definitely grows on you.

5-0 out of 5 stars Hilariouly funny!
A movie so funny it is unbelieveable! This movie will keep you up all night laughing. A must see. If you've never seen Almost Heroes, you're missing out! "This is an upper case A" movie.!

5-0 out of 5 stars Completely Ridiculous
This is the most ridiculous movie I have ever seen. The events don't make sense, many scenes seem to be missing (one second they're looking up a big mountain, dreading climbing it, and the next they're up top the mountain and Perry's character is sick), the characters' (mainly Farley) personalities and attitudes change for no reason, the ending doesn't make sense (why did Lewis and Clark get the credit when they beat them to it?), and you know what, this was the funniest movie I have ever seen. So bizarre and ridiculous that it's brilliant. You have to have a certain sense of humor to like this movie, but if you do, you'll love it. Everyone should at least give this movie a chance. You'll never know what you're missing.

-Nuf

PS- The egg scene is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life.

5-0 out of 5 stars Almost Heroes
I just loved this movie. It is too bad that this was one of Farley's last movies though. I enjoyed the scene after Farley's told them about the sadistic animals of the wild. Then one of the crewmen spotted an animal on the bank and they all went crazy and started shooting at it with their guns and a boat cannon. Farley told them it was only a squirrel then one of the crewman yelled, "He's got something in his hands!" And they all went crazy again shooting at it. I would recommend this movie to anyone and especially those Chris Farley fans.

1-0 out of 5 stars ITS CR*P!!!!
Some of my frieds led me to believe that this was a greatmovie. Needless to say, they're not my friends anymore. Sittingthrough this movie was like having my wisdom teeth pulled out, only less funny. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars if you love cars, you will love this movie
i love this movie, i could watch it every day, its not all that funny, but if you love cars, chicks, and car chases, this is what you are looking for

5-0 out of 5 stars The final round in the cannonball trilogy.
This movie is by far the best movie in the world (according to my standards). After Cannonball Run and Cannonball 2 came Speed Zone, with such halarious actors like John Candy and Jackie Gleason. This 1989 movie would be a favorite for car lovers, having a Lamborghini Countach, a BMW 735iL, an Excalibur, a Jaguar XJS, a Ferrari Daytona Spyder, a Television crew Chevrolet van, and many more supercars. It is about a $50,000 race from Pennsylvania to California. The plot is about a valet parker (John Candy) who meets his high school "friend" (father of a teenager in American Pie) who always plays pranks on him, until he finds out he needs a driver for his BMW 735iL in an emergency. The "friend's" girlfreind is being treated badly by him, and falls in love with the valet parker. They don't win the race. When Candy is looking at a television screen at a small valet house, a scene from the Cannonball Run is being shown. Overall, a most excellent film, perfect for veiwing while on a road trip or on a Saturday night.

5-0 out of 5 stars Why is this so underrated and put down?????
I dont understand why this movie gets bad reveiws? I think its a great film! Just because the only charactor from the previous 2 Cannonball movies (Jamie Farr) The Sheik makes a breif appearence, its no reason to down this great fun comedy! Like its previous 2 counterparts, its filled with a great cast... John Candy, Whats his name Father from American Pie, That blonde chick, the guy from Prokys, Smothers Brothers, Bo Duke, A whole heap more! Even tho i cant remember there names, dosent mean there not worth watching!

Sure there some over the top antics and stunts. But didnt the last two have that aswell?

This is a great movie IMo and I cant wait for it to finally be put on DVD...hopefully

5-0 out of 5 stars A bunch of C-list actors doing a good thing
This movie wasn't supposed to be good. It was a continuation of the the popular Cannonball Run series that people didn't want to die. So let's put John Candy, Eugene Levy, and the amazingly funny in this movie Peter Boyle with a bunch of C-list actors and actresses. Throw in some cameos like Brooke Shields, Carl Lewis, Michael Spinks, Richard Petty, etc. and you have an entertaining cross country race in exotic cars and a some funny moments. Some cute sub plots like the sexual tension of the reporters and the possible whacking of the Brit Jag driver add to the excitement. Its not a movie you have to think about. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy a cross country race.

1-0 out of 5 stars It so bad, its worth watching!
This film is ... . Full stop. It is so bad in fact that its worth watching. The plot has loop holes in it so big, that a 747 could fly through them. For example - A car has the ability to skip over water!, or the Jaguar XJS which passes out a Contach in a straight line in a race - yeah right. Or how about the plane used in the film with a (unreal) engine added on to the fuselage - why?. As a fan of truely great films (The Godfather,Casino, Terminator etc...), the film ranks as possibly the worst film I have ever seen. However I did end up watching the whole thing! ... Read more
