Hot Shots! Part Deux
Topper Harley is found to be working as an odd-job-man in a monastery. The CIA want him to lead a rescue mission into Iraq, to rescue the last rescue team, who went in to rescue the last rescue team—who went in to rescue hostages left behind after Desert Storm.

President Benson duels Saddam with fire extinguisher finale
Team disguised as fishermen confronts Iraqi patrol boat
The film jumps from a middling action sequence with the patrol boat to highly praised prison camp comedy within nine minutes.
Hot Shots! Part Deux maintains solid comedy momentum throughout, with particular peaks during the Saddam Hussein parody sequences and Lloyd Bridges' presidential antics. While some reviewers noted it occasionally gets bogged down in action rather than comedy, the rapid-fire joke approach and successful movie parodies keep audience sentiment consistently positive. The film delivers on its promise as a worthy sequel that matches or exceeds the original's entertainment value.
