"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Hot Shots: Part Deux | 1993 | PG-13 | - 3.4.5
The basic concept is to lampoon world events (the Gulf War) and films ("Rambo," "Apocalypse Now," "Basic Instinct," "Star Wars," "Terminator 2," and classics like "Casablanca" and "The Wizard Of Oz"). Charlie Sheen, Lloyd Bridges, Valeria Golino and Richard Crenna star.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - One bedroom scene. A woman is shown from the back, wearing only panties, and then from the front in silhouette. One naked male derriere, shown very briefly, in a gag where a tent blows away to reveal a man showering. Some kissing and slobbering.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Lots of shooting, fighting, and fireworks. A man is splattered against a wall like a fly, but it's all silly-looking slapstick, not horrifying. All violence in this film is broad and cartoonish; more Roadrunner than Rambo.
LANGUAGE 5 - The F-word is used once. Also some scatological language and various insults.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Sex, MIA's.
MESSAGE - Absolutely none.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
