Hot Shots! Part Deux
Just deux it.
Directed by Jim Abrahams
Produced by Sidley Wright & Associates, 20th Century Fox
A frenetic, absurdist action-comedy parody that prioritizes gags and spectacle over coherence, built on rapid-fire jokes and genre pastiche.
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.
