"Your ego's writing checks your body can't cash."
Top gun fighter pilot Topper Harley (Charlie Sheen) dropped out when an incident made him doubt his ability. But when he's asked to return to duty for a special assignment -- Sleepy Weasel -- to destroy Saddam Hussein's nuclear plants, he joins the team aboard the USS Essess to do his duty.
An aerospace company is trying to sabotage the effort and cause the destruction of the fighter planes so they can win the contract for the new planes. But that's small potatoes to Harley who develops a huge rivalry with another top gun, Kent Gregory (Cary Elwes) both in the air and about a woman.
Also appearing are Valeria Golino as the ship's psychologist; Lloyd Bridges as the Admiral; Jon Cryer, William O'Leary. and Kristy Swanson as a crew members; Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as the aeronautics executive; Bill Irwin as Harley's wacked out father; and Heidi Swedberg as a pilot's wife.
A parody of Top Gun with nods to Airplane!, Dances with Wolves, Superman, Gone With the Wind, and others.
Directed by Jim Abrahams.
Run time: 1 hour, 24 minutes
Rated PG-13.
My personal rating: B
