The gang that created Airplane and The Naked Gun sets its sights on Top Gun in this often hilarious spoof starring Charlie Sheen, who previously only inspired laughs with his personal life. He plays Topper Harley, a fighter pilot with an ax to grind: clearing the family name. He gets involved in a relationship with Valerie Golino, a woman with an unusually talented stomach. But his mission is to avenge his father. Lloyd Bridges, late in his career, revealed an aptitude for this kind of silliness, here as a commander who is both incredibly dim and delightfully accident prone. Directed by Jim Abrahams, the film makes fun of a variety of other films as well, from Dances with Wolves to The Fabulous Baker Boys. It was so successful that they all returned in the sequel, Hot Shots! Part Deux.

It is a parody of numerous movies.

Part Deux is more consistently funny than this one.

This movie is my ultimate guilty pleasure. I watched it again on Disney+ with a constant grin on my face. It’s so fun and stupid… Stupid in the best way possible. It always makes me laugh!

When Charlie Sheen knew what he was doing. The "Hot Shots" are the main draw to the movie as any comedy should have. The physical comedy and wordplay within jokes is a very good satire on 80s action movies. Although I haven't seen 'Top Gun' which the film is clearly spoofing. Though Charlie Sheen and Valeria Golino are good and funny, it's Lloyd Bridges who steals the movie for me. Always funny in every scene, he really was a highlight from his 80s and 90s spoofs. With his idiotic yet ingenious lines, he is the main reason to watch this movie. But all the other actors are really good, but I think that Jon Cryer's character was underused and a bit too over the top. But it's an all-around good comedy with some great lines. I rewatch this with my dad at least once every 2 years and we always find a new joke that wasn't visible beforehand. If you like 'Airplane!', then you'll enjoy this film for its creative jokes and for it not having a boring moment.

Great film. I had a blast watching this. I thought it was much better than _Airplane!_ Pretty much everything about it was better. But specifically: I think the fact that the comedy seemed _intentional_ through everyone's performances, despite still being played a More
