Product: Hot Shots! [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 5.0
Sight gags and one-liners abound!!
It had been at least 10 years since I had seen Hot Shots so when I saw the title available to watch instantly online, I jumped at the chance. Valeria Golino is amazing, first the scene with the horse, then the lounge singing act...Lloyd Bridges steals every scene he is in, especially in the tower when he first flosses between his ears with a handkerchief and then swallows the earplugs, also shouting at a painting when he thinks it is the base and at the funeral of "Dead Meat". Cary Elwes, Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen all turn in hilarious performances as well and it features appearances by Ryan Stiles and Heidi Swedberg (Susan Ross from Seinfeld). Not 30 seconds goes by without a side-splitting sight gag, particularly during the flight deck scenes on the carrier. Classic Abrahams comedy!
