To top it all off, the film contains a few obscenities, some profanities and crude sexual references which only spoil the comedy. We see obscured upper female nudity, and near the end, Michelle starts shooting off guns and pretending to ride an electric bull machine. The really objectionable scenes come when Topper and Michelle make fun of BASIC INSTINCT. In the climactic shoot-out scene, we see a running tally of dead bodies on the screen and people die just by having bullets thrown in their direction. The violence is cartoon violence, where people get hit and their bodies retain the shape like claymation figures. In short, HOT SHOTS! PART DEUX is a mindless, silly movie. Making fun of movies from APOCALYPSE NOW, RAMBO, BASIC INSTINCT, and even the WIZARD OF OZ, the plot moves from joke to joke so fast that one hardly notices when it misses a beat. Its a high-flying smorgasbord of sight gags and rapid-fire jokes as the two riotous Charlie Sheen comedies air back-to-back. (Not that Hot Shots was bad it was quite funny and enjoyable in its own right.) Like the second Star Trek film, this sequel gels all of the good elements from its predecessor and discards whatever didn't quite click. He is accompanied by CIA operative Michelle Huddlestone who falls in lust with Topper right away. Hot Shots: Part Deux is an amazing rarity-a sequel that's actually superior to the first movie. Richard Crenna reenacts his role in the RAMBO movies by playing Colonel Denton Walters who tries to enlist Topper for one “last” dangerous mission.
This episode revolves around the well worn story of an evil Middle-East dictator who captures American troops from Desert Storm, and only one man can get them out, Topper Harley (Charlie Sheen). Avoiding subtlety at all costs, HOT SHOTS! PART DEUX, perpetuates the manic, burlesque humor that is the hallmark of contemporary Hollywood comedy.
