Hot Shots!
Directed by Jim Abrahams
The gang that created Airplane! and The Naked Gun sets its sights on Top Gun in this spoof. Topper Harley is a talented but unstable fighter pilot with an axe to grind: clearing the family name. His mission is to avenge his father and save a mission sabotaged by greedy weapons manufacturers. He also gets involved in a relationship with Ramada Thompson, a woman with an unusually talented stomach. Hot Shots! makes fun… From TMDB

Jim Abrahams was one third of Abrahams, Zucker, & Zucker - creators of Kentucky Fried Movie/Theater, Airplane, Top Secret, The Naked Gun, Police Squad, Hot Shots, and masters of parody. Amazing talent. He will be missed. 🕊️

Director highlights: 1980 Airplane! 1982 Police Squad 📺 1984 Top Secret! 1986 Ruthless People 1988 Big Business 1991 Hot Shots! Will miss the laughs. #filmsky #tvsky 🎥📽🎞🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →The 1990s era Zucker/Abrahams films were important ones in my childhood. I was, of course, the perfect age for the silly humor, but these also laid filmic groundwork for me. I still watch the Naked Gun films and Hot Shots Part Deux regularly. I love that silly Casablanca/Rambo hybrid.

neutral · AI labelView post →This movie belongs in the ranks of Airplane, UHF, Hot Shots and The Naked Gun. There is actually skill and wit required to execute on this type of humor even though the finished product might not look like it. It’s comedy gold.
neutral · AI labelView post →Giggling to this while making tea. Love the intro. I'm old enough to have not only seen Top Gun at the cinema, but we also had the game on zx spectrum. As they've now done Val Kilmer's fourth best film, and as Hot Shots was mentioned, is there a chance that Team WMT might do Top Secret! ?

BUT, I think we're a year from seeing Ape Escape ports on Switch. That + the GR film means there's a small shot.
