Title: Hot Shots or Hot Shots: Part Deux? Post by: Kaseykockroach on June 25, 2011, 05:59:57 PM Emergency, ladies and gentlemen! I can only afford to grab one of two Zucker/Abrams films, Hot Shots or Hot Shots: Part Deux.
Alas, I simply cannot decide which to pick. It's driving me nuts! I can't sleep! I can't think! I can't even eat!....Okay, I can eat, but other than that, this situation has driven me to drink! -sobs- *ahem* So then, which one? Oh, and this can also be a "Favorite Zucker/Abrams" film thread (Airplane, Top Secret, Naked Gun, etc) as well, I suppose. :P Title: Re: Hot Shots or Hot Shots: Part Deux? Post by: retrorussell on June 25, 2011, 08:39:55 PM I felt the first had much better humor.. the second one a bit slapdash. The Rambo kickboxing spoof was pretty hilarious though. :)

Post by: Psycho Circus on June 26, 2011, 06:42:32 AM I'd go with something else altogether, I never found either of these films funny. I don't know what it is but I just can't get into spoof films that are too over the top, cramming a dumb, obvious joke in every second that just seems to miss.

The second is where she perches on a seat, all legs and pout, amidst a bunch of drooling orange-robed Buddhist monks. Charlie Sheen comes up and says something like, 'You can't just sit here like this! These men are very devout! They've all taken vows of celibacy, like their fathers, and their fathers before them!'

Well, you're jutht plain ol' thilly. :P Title: Re: Hot Shots or Hot Shots: Part Deux?

I like all 3 (esp the first one) and that's pretty much how I'd describe them (except I think the jokes 'hit'). never seen either Hots Shots movie though...Title: Re: Hot Shots or Hot Shots: Part Deux?

I think those films are a lot smarter at being dumb, if you know what I mean. :smile: Title: Re: Hot Shots or Hot Shots: Part Deux? Post by: JayJayM12 on July 05, 2011, 05:47:14 PM For me, it's definitely part one, but if you're in the mood for a similar type of film outside of the Hot Shots world, I'd go with Top Secret...
