WINNING! WINNING! WINNING!
In honor of the machete-wielding, tiger blood-possessing Charlie Sheen's imminent death, this week's movie is his infamous early 90s spoof, Hot Shots! Part Deaux. This movie was one of a long line of hilarious 90s spoofs that included the Naked Gun series and Loaded Weapon 1, which starred Samuel L. Jackson and EMILIO! Estavez, Charlie's brother. But of all those spoofs, Hot Shots! Part Deaux definitely has the best title. DEAUX!
You know, in all honesty, Charlie Sheen is a damn fine actor. The guy's diverse. Check out his work in Platoon and the original Wall Street and tell me he's not a damn good dramatic actor. But then add movies like Major League and Men at Work and the Hot Shots! movies and tell me the guy isn't fucking hilarious. And the acting he's doing now? Acting like a sex-craved cokehead who's probably murdered several hookers? This may be his best stuff to date...
The film itself is a send-up of movies like Rambo (in fact, the dude from Rambo is actually in this movie) where some former ultimate soldier must come out of retirement to murder a bunch of bad guys in a jungle somewhere. Of course, the funny thing is that this jungle's in Iraq and ruled over by a dead dictator (well he's dead now, at least). The movie is still funny even today with constant movie references and it's just non-stop one-liners and funny stuff happening in the background. It's silly, ridiculous humor but it delivers on that front in spades. It's everything that made the Scary Movies fucking hilarious until they became a parody of themselves and started to suck dick harder than one of Charlie's crack hoes.
So, in conclusion, I only have one speed....GO!
Why It's Awesome: One name...Charlies Sheen. 'Nuff said.
