My Thoughts:
After having finally watched the Rambo movies, I thought it fitting to watch Hot Shots 2 again.
I think it is a nice touch, that Richard Crenna is parodying his Trautman role from the Rambo movies here.
The Hots Shots movies are still parody movies, which do not beat jokes to death like recent such movies do. They rather concentrate on visual side gags. Also the production value seems much higher.

My Thoughts:
Just finished watching this one this morning. I been looking forward to it..as I have become a fan of Ryan Reynolds. While I did enjoy it... I was expecting a little more from him. Matter of fact, Tara Reid's performance really didn't feel like it was up to par either. It is a film I did enjoy... but not really sure why I enjoyed it as much as I did. As it really is only average compared to others in it's genre. Though this movie did do one thing a movie hasn't done to me in a long time. I literally gagged at one of their gross-out jokes. For those that seen it... I will say only one word... Pastries. Anyway... if you haven't seen this. I would say it isn't bad... but definitely seen better. Get this one cheap or catch it on cable.

Out of a Possible 5

This is not the last episode in this set, but it was the last episode which was aired for the first series, and it concludes the season's storyline. It is a good episode.
The DVD contains two further light-hearted episodes which play after the finale. They were produced especially for the DVD release.
