Hot Shots! is a 1991 comedy spoof starring Charlie Sheen, Carey Elwes, Valeria Golino, Lloyd Bridges, Kevin Dunn and Jon Cryer. It was directed by Jim Abrahams, co-director of Airplane! (another spoof), and was written by Abrahams and Pat Proft. The film primarily spoofs the 1986 action movie Top Gun, but also draws material from films like Rocky and Superman. It spawned a sequel in 1993, Hot Shots! Part Deux. Sheen and Cryer would later co-star in the television series Two and a Half Men, in which Ryan Stiles (Farnum) also went on to play a recurring role.
