**Charlie Sheen’s ‘Hot Shots!’ Soars Onto Hulu Next Month**

**LOS ANGELES, CA – May 24, 2024** – Get ready for some high-flying hijinks! Charlie Sheen’s classic 1991 comedy *Hot Shots!*, along with its 1993 sequel *Hot Shots! Part Deux*, are set to land on Hulu on June 6th.

The original *Hot Shots!*, directed and written by Jim Abrahams, hilariously spoofs the blockbuster *Top Gun*, as well as a medley of other films such as *9 1/2 Weeks* and *Dances with Wolves*. Sheen stars as Topper Harley, a troubled former Navy pilot haunted by his father’s past, who is called back into service by Lt. Commander Block (Kevin Dunn). The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Cary Elwes, Valeria Golino, Lloyd Bridges, and Jon Cryer.

A critical and commercial success, *Hot Shots!* grossed over $180 million worldwide and currently holds an impressive 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The sequel, *Hot Shots! Part Deux*, while not as critically acclaimed (63% on Rotten Tomatoes), still delivered laughs and box office success, earning over $133 million.

The *Hot Shots!* franchise provides a sharp contrast to the long-awaited *Top Gun: Maverick*, which arrived decades after the original. Star Tom Cruise initially resisted sequel offers, expressing a desire to broaden his acting horizons. Now, riding the wave of *Maverick*’s success, a *Top Gun 3* is reportedly in development, with Cruise, Miles Teller, and Glen Powell expected to return, potentially releasing around 2027.

Don’t miss your chance to revisit or discover the comedic brilliance of *Hot Shots!* and *Hot Shots! Part Deux*, available on Hulu starting June 6th.
