Review of Hot Shots! (1991) by Kim Newman for Empire — 28 Jun 2017

Given that this is the first whacky comedy to come out of the Gulf War it’s a shame the whole enterprise isn’t a lot more tasteless, but the half-funny goings-on give that the script has been tailored not to offend a military machine on the point of massive war, perhaps at the expense of unpatriotic laughs.

That said, it’s a pleasant enough time-waster, and doesn’t drag on too long.
