This sequel to Hot Shots! didn't do half as well with the public as the first comedy but it actually contains more laughs than the original so maybe it will find a new audience on DVD. A wild spoof of the Rambo franchise that finds the time to lampoon dozens of other movies, Hot Shots! Part Deux still offers laughs after multiple viewings. The disc sports a good widescreen anamorphic transfer that returns the movie to its theatrical aspect ratio and the sound is well balanced and clear coming out of either a stereo system or television speaker. The DVD features two promotional features, the first is done in Spanish as a joke and the second (entitled "Early Awareness" -- the makers of the movie have a great time titling these things) seems like the usual made-for-HBO promotional film. While none of these extras are great, the DVD has been released at a low list price and the movie itself earns its keep in laughs alone. |
