Features: DVD
Military action pics like Rambo and Missing In Action are given the tongue-in-cheek treatment in this outrageous sequel to the over-the-top movie parody. A follow-up to the original that's even zanier than the first. Topper Harley heads up a mission into Iraq to rescue the rescuers of hostages being held by Saddam Hussein.
"Brilliant spoof." Fred Topel, About.com

"...It's impressive to encounter so many belly laughs, and for that PART DEUX will no doubt be amply rewarded..." 05/24/1993Chicago Sun-Times
"...One of the pleasures of watching a spoof like this is to spot the references; it's like a quiz on pop art..." 05/21/1993 p.37 James Berardinelli's ReelViews 5 of 10
Those who enjoyed the original "Hot Shots" will doubtless be entertained by the second part, as will moviegoers who laughed their way through "Loaded Weapon One". The stuff of "Part Deux" is not "Airplane" material, but it has its high points, and as a mindless summer evening out, it will certainly deliver what's expected.
Chicago Sun-Times 6 of 10
Movies like this are more or less impervious to the depredations of movie critics. Either you laugh, or you don't. I laughed. Will this genre ever run out of steam? "Hot Shots Part Deux" doesn't have the high-voltage nonstop comedy of "Airplane!" and "Top Secret!," still the best of their kind, and it isn't as hard on Stallone as it could have been. But as long as the Hollywood assembly lines keep groaning, there will probably be a function for these corrective measures. - Roger Ebert
