Trivia:

Charlie Sheen worked out for eight hours a day to build up his body, as he decided that he would have felt embarrassed at the film's premiere if he had to sit amongst people laughing while looking at him on screen in a singlet.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Topper jumps off the balcony after Saddam swings the sword at him, the stunt man's legs can be seen when Charlie gets up.

Quotes:

Topper Harley: I'm not saying I don't trust you, and I'm not saying I do. But I don't.

Comedy parte de dos

While the original will always be considered better, this film still held true to the Hot Shots mentality. While the whole concept may have been a little dragged out, at least they didn't try to make another movie to further destroy this franchise. Charlie Sheen was once again, Charlie Sheen. With yet another tongue-in-cheek performance, Sheen proves to us he is one of the most nonchalant comedy actor of our day. Plenty of funny things to talk about, but far too many to mention.
