Hot Shots Part Deux

Trivia: When the escapees are held up by the fence gate, the guy carried in the stretcher and submerged in the stream is heard gurgling something. Listen closely, and you hear him spoofing Disney's Pinocchio by calling "Mr. Gepetto".

Trivia: Richard Crenna was contacted about being in this movie, but first called Sylvester Stallone and wanted to know if Stallone was okay with him being in the film, being a parody of Rambo. Stallone gave his blessing so Crenna took the part.

Trivia: Just as in the first film, the end credits are crammed full of hidden jokes and miscellaneous one-liners.

Trivia: The scenes where HQ attempts to warn the commandoes about the Iraqi patrol boat, and the arrival of the boat itself, have been borrowed from 'The Guns of Navarone'.

Trivia: The credits show that several cast members are listed as having the maiden name "Rodham". Near the end, a voice announces "Hot Shots Part Deux was filmed in front of a live studio audience."

Trivia: Another movie spoofed in this one is "Basic Instinct". The scene where Topper and Michelle have a most intimate talk at the White House reception has some parts from the other's script.

Trivia: The film is written and directed by Jim Abrahams. During the credits you see a number of his family members were part of the cast, followed by Alison Anne Abrohams. While this looks like a misspelling or intentional joke, that is her real name. While this is her only credited acting role, she went on to be a production assistant in Jim Abrahams' "Mafia!" film.

Revealing mistake: When Walters is electrocuted, the kettle on his head is not resting on it but is fixed on the grid behind him, as to prevent it from falling off. Since Walters moves his head slightly, so should the kettle.
