If Hot Shots! hit the spot, these will too

The same mix in both: momentum, then wit

Playful where it counts, bleak underneath
The difference: Critics were much harder on this one

Comedy with a pulse of wit, in both cases
The difference: None of the momentum Hot Shots! is built on

Both lean on momentum more than on action
The difference: Missing the bleakness of Hot Shots!

Playful war in both cases
The difference: Made in the 1960s, in a different era of the craft

Action built on momentum, twice over

Both are built on the same subject: parody

One thread runs through both: parody

Witty comedy, and it commits to that

Both lean on play more than on war

The same action instincts
The difference: Sits closer to fantasy than Hot Shots! does
