The mother of all movies.

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.

Hot Shots! - Die Mutter aller Filme

Obwohl er schon seit längerer Zeit wegen seinen unterdurchschnittlichen Leistungen nicht mehr im Dienst ist, soll Topper Harley für einen Großeinsatz der Navy unter der Leitung des unzurechnungsfähigen Admirals Benson reaktiviert werden. Noch vor Missionsbeginn trifft er auf die schöne Ramada, die ihn von seiner eigentlichen Aufgabe vollkommen ablenkt. Da mag es keinen Unterschied mehr machen, dass ein rivalisierender Flugzeughersteller sämtliche Maschinen des Kommandos zum Absturz bringen will, um die Verkaufschancen für sein neuestes Produkt zu erhöhen...

Hot Shots !

Les aventures du pilote Sean Harley, poursuivi par une faute commise par son père vingt ans auparavant. Parodie des films ayant pour héros les pilotes de l’US Air Force et qui connurent leur apogée avec le fameux «Top Gun».

Italy Italian (Italiano)

A causa del disonore di cui si era ricoperto suo padre, Topper Harley, un eroico pilota, si ritira a vita privata, ma viene richiamato in servizio per una pericolosissima missione, denominata 'Donnola sonnolenta'. Topper é così impegnato a dimostrare di essere all'altezza di quello specialissimo gruppo e allo stesso tempo entra in conflitto con Gregory per la conquista dell'amore della psichiatra della base. Intanto però, un gruppo di industriali cerca di far fallire la missione.

Part of Hot Shots! Collection

Hot Shots! is a 1991 comedy spoof film starring Charlie Sheen, Cary Elwes, Valeria Golino, Lloyd Bridges, Kevin Dunn, Jon Cryer and Ryan Stiles. It was directed by Jim Abrahams, and was written by Abrahams and Pat Proft. Carrying the same comedic vein as Airplane!, a film Abrahams co-directed, the film primarily spoofs the 1986 action film Top Gun, but also draws material from films like Rocky and Superman. It spawned a sequel in 1993, Hot Shots! Part Deux. Sheen and Cryer would later co-star in the television series Two and a Half Men, in which Stiles also went on to play a recurring role.

    Topper Harley is found to be working as an odd-job-man in a monastery. The CIA want him to lead a rescue mission into Iraq, to rescue the last rescue team, who went in to rescue the last rescue team—who went in to rescue hostages left behind after Desert Storm.
