John’s “Hot Shots!” flashback review, July 8, 2021
“Hot Shots!” — If ever there was a movie that deserved to be made fun of, “Top Gun” was it. “Hot Shots!” does the job masterfully, throwing in many “Airplane!”-style gags along the way.
Best line: “The mission starts at 0600 hours.” “Very well, wake me up at oh … five-thirty.”
