Another outing from ¨Naked Gun¨team of the master movie
parodists : Jim Abrahams , Jerry Zucker and Pat Proft . Wacky and surrealist comedy with uncountable gags and well starred by Charlie Sheen who gives a sympathetic acting as ace pilot fighter Topper Harley who's to avenge the family honor . A classic of the spoof genre, it is a likably silly comedy from the writing-directing team that brought other big hits , and still one of the funniest movies ever made .The mother of all movies! . There's something funny in the air !. Unprecendented! Uncut! Under 10 dollar Movie? What movie?. Shhh! Don't tell anyone. From the makers of the original "Airplane!" (not the Wright brothers).
Nutty and absurd comedy with numberless gags by the makers of Airplane ! . This picture makes up for its flimsy plot with one gag after another . Written/directed by Jim Abrahams , Jerry Zucker and his brother David Zucker (ZAZ) , they are American satirists and writers with successful works along and long time collaborators among them , they made their own comedy troupe , ¨Kentucky Fried theatre¨. Spoofs ¨Top Gun¨ with a lot of verbal humor and similar gung-ho air corps adventures with dogfighting , but doesn't forget other popular including : ¨Dances with the wolves¨, ¨The fabulous Baker Boys¨, ¨Gone with the wind¨,¨Superman¨, ¨9½ Weeks¨, ¨Rocky¨, among others . This one remains commercially as their exceptional hit smash with the exception for ¨Airport!¨ , ¨Top Secret¨and ¨Jerry Zucker's Ghost¨. Stars Charlie Sheen as an ace pilot who becomes involved in an aerial conspiracy . In the film appears the habitual quirky and lunatic roles usually played by notorious actors , such as : Valeria Golino , Lloyd Bridges, Kevin Dunn, Jon Cryer, Cary Ewes , Bruce A Young , William O'Leary, Kristy Swanson , Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Bill Irwin , among others .
The film was realized by the Kentucky group , the ironic humor is originated in the American surrealist comedy whose origin is developed since ¨Hellzapoppin¨ (by H. C. Potter) , Marx Brothers and W. C. Fields , and being based on the absurd , the lunatic and wacky happenings , and , of course , the extreme parody or spoof movie . The picture is naughty at times , but it's also intelligent and audacious . There's one comic gag each ten seconds . Rated ¨Parents Guide¨ for some profanity and sexually oriented sketches .An unsothisphicated but very amusing film that will appeal to absurd lovers and including several cinematic references . Rating : 6.5/10. Well worth watching . Great when you are in the mood for laughs that don't require thought . This is a wonderful timeless spoof that will appeal to wild and unruly humor fans . Followed by ¨Hot Shots ! Part Deux¨ (1993) with similar artistic and technician team as Charlie Sheen , Valeria Golino , Lloyd Bridges and adding Richard Crenna , Rowan Atkinson , Miguel Ferrer , among others.
