Hot Shots & Hot Shots 2 - General

[B]Hot Shots[/B] from 1991 and [B]Hot Shots 2[/B] from 1993 are two extremly funny american films. [B]Hot Shots[/B] [img]http://www.horreur.net/img/hot-shots_aff.jpg[/img] Plot: [QUOTE]Hot Shots has been described as "Top Gun meets Airplane!". The film begins at Flemner Air Base 20 years prior. A pilot named Leland "Buzz" Harley (Bill Irwin) loses control of his plane and ejects, leaving his co-pilot Dominic "Mailman" Farnum (Ryan Stiles) to crash alone; although Mailman survives, he's mistaken for a deer owing to the branches stuck to his helmet and is shot by a hunter. Topper Harley (Charlie Sheen) wakes up from a nightmare he's having about the event when Lt. Commander Block (Kevin Dunn) asks him to return to active duty as a pilot in the U.S. Navy. This poses a dilemma for Harley, as he previously left the Navy to live with Native Americans. Harley becomes romantically involved with his therapist, Ramada (Valeria Golino), although she's already involved with another fighter pilot (Cary Elwes), who hates Topper because of the loss of his father "Mailman" to Buzz Harley (and believes Topper may do the same to him). Amid the chaos, the owner of an aerospace firm is trying to sabotage the mission in order to make the current fighter jets look bad in hopes that the Navy will replace them with his German-made jets. However, Topper Harley successfully completes the mission to destroy a nuclear power plant despite his jet's malfunctioning armament.[/QUOTE] Trailer [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oTbih9goco&feature=fvst[/media] Funny moments [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0su_pyY38Q[/media] [B]Hot Shots 2[/B] [img]http://www.movieposter.com/posters/archive/main/30/A70-15454[/img] Plot: [QUOTE]At the beginning of the film, a rescue team invades Saddam Hussein's palace to rescue a group of hostages. But things go wrong when they are ambushed by Iraqi guards who open fire. While the gunfight ensues, Saddam is awakened, with his blindfold on, and starts shooting blindly all around the interior of his palace. The rescue team is captured and subdued just before Saddam runs out of his palace screaming and shooting wildly into the air and falling into the fountain. Since his last adventure, Topper Harley (Sheen) has retired from the Navy and has become a Buddhist in a small Buddhist village in the wilderness. Colonel Walters (Crenna) and Michelle Huddleston (Bakke), CIA, arrive and watch a muscular Topper fight in a Muay Thai competition (a spoof of the Rambo III opening scene) in a hilarious sequence which results in the crooked bookmaker's comical defeat. After Topper's victory, the Colonel and Michelle persuade Topper to come out of retirement in order to rescue a rescue party who went in to rescue a rescue party who are being held as hostages in Iraq. The leader of the Iraqi forces is, of course, Saddam Hussein (Haleva). At first Topper refuses, but when another rescue mission led by Walters also goes awry, he finally agrees and parachutes into an Iraqi jungle with Harbinger (Ferrer), Williams (Colyar) and Rabbinowitz (Stiles), close to the heavily guarded hostage camp. They all land successfully, except for Topper, who gets snagged in a tree. He soon frees himself with his patented all-purpose "Swiss Army" Bowie knife (a running joke throughout the film). Their contact turns out to be Topper's former love, Ramada (Golino), who guides them to an abandoned fishing boat that she had prepared for their transportation, with fishermen's clothes in the wheelhouse. She and Topper briefly reminisce, and Ramada explains that she was married before she ever met Topper, but could not tell him about her husband, Dexter (Atkinson), for complicated reasons. She also informs him that Dexter is one of the captives being held by Saddam. They all set off down the river. Later, an Iraqi patrol boat passes by and the Captain boards their fishing boat. After witnessing their poor fishermen impersonations, the Captain boards the patrol boat and is about to sail out of sight when he sees Ramada, in disguise as a man since women are forbidden to fish, enter the ladies room. Assuming they are cross-dressers, he orders his fellow crew members to open fire. Topper's squad abandon ship at his word; Topper takes up the fight, but at the last instant runs out of ammo, to which the Iraqi Captain laughs sarcastically. Topper hurls a grenade, which lands in the Captains open mouth and explodes, destroying him and both boats. When US President Tug Benson (Admiral Benson in the previous film) hears of the supposed failure of yet another mission, he decides to go to Iraq and take matters into his own hands. The commandos all reach shore safely (Topper does not do quite so well). Ramada picks up something Topper had dropped: a mole, given to him by Michelle after they had slept together. Topper grows suspicious of Harbinger since he wasn't around when the patrol boat came. They eventually reach the Iraqi hostage camp, where an outrageous gunfight ensues, which the Americans win despite overwhelming odds. During the battle, Topper finds Harbinger hiding out and at first accuses him of being the sabotuer; Harbinger reveals that he's giving up battling but Topper calms him down. While the squad evacuates the hostages, Topper enters Saddam's seemingly abandoned palace. He runs into Saddam, who pulls out his machine pistol and commands Topper to surrender. Topper quickly disarms Saddam and they engage in a heated yet comical sword fight. President Benson arrives and orders Topper to go and rescue Dexter, which he does, while Benson and Saddam pull out lightsabers and continue the duel. Benson eventually defeats Saddam by spraying him with a fire extinguisher, upon which Saddam and his dog solidify, crack and melt, only to form again as Saddam in a Terminator 2 fashion, but with his dog's head fur, nose, and ears. In the meantime, tired of waiting, the squad heads back to the army helicopter, where Ramada discovers that Michelle is the saboteur who imprisoned Dexter and reveals they used to be roommates at university. After a complicated revelation, Ramada returns Michelle's mole and then proceeds to chase her over an assault course similar to American Gladiators. They then started fighting on two platforms with Ramada winning by hitting Michelle's in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and making her fall off the platform. Dexter arrives with Topper and insists on taking a picture of Ramada and Topper, claiming "under other circumstances, you'd make a great couple." However, he backs away too far (in order to take a picture of them) and topples rather obliviously over a cliff, at which point Topper and Ramada confess that "he really was a wiener". Colonel Walters arrests Michelle as President Benson joins the escapees. Saddam arrives and is about to shoot down the chopper when Topper and Ramada get rid of extra weight in the chopper by pushing a huge piano out of the open door, which crushes Saddam and in the style of Wizard of Oz his toes curl up and disappear under the piano's broken remains. Topper and Ramada smile and kiss as they all ride off safely (literally) into the sunset, although the chopper gets a little scorched from flying through the sun.[/QUOTE] Trailer [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEc-9hIdK0E[/media] These movies are classic, great fun!

I didnt like the first as much as the second. The scene where they slaughter everyone at the camp to rescue whats-his-face is hilarious.

These movies: Pure Gold. The best part about them. [img_thumb]http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/old_guys_9.jpg[/img_thumb] President Thomas "Tug" Benson (Admiral in the first film). Best Scene, his letter to Harbinger, telling him that Topper and the other chick had taken over. [i]They're in. You're out.[/i]
