The violence is cartoon violence, where people get hit and their bodies retain the shape like claymation figures. In short, HOT SHOTS! PART DEUX is a mindless, silly movie.
Making fun of movies from APOCALYPSE NOW, RAMBO, BASIC INSTINCT, and even the WIZARD OF OZ, the plot moves from joke to joke so fast that one hardly notices when it misses a beat. He is accompanied by CIA operative Michelle Huddlestone who falls in lust with Topper right away. Richard Crenna reenacts his role in the RAMBO movies by playing Colonel Denton Walters who tries to enlist Topper for one “last” dangerous mission. This episode revolves around the well worn story of an evil Middle-East dictator who captures American troops from Desert Storm, and only one man can get them out, Topper Harley (Charlie Sheen). Avoiding subtlety at all costs, HOT SHOTS! PART DEUX, perpetuates the manic, burlesque humor that is the hallmark of contemporary Hollywood comedy.
