When Walters is captured on the following rescue attempt, Topper agrees to go in and rescue everyone. His commanding officer Colonel Walters arrives to recruit him for a rescue mission, which he refuses. This time the story is a near perfect recreation of Rambo III, where Topper has resigned himself to an Asian monk village.
Hot Shots! was followed by a sequel, Hot Shots! Part Deux, in 1993, which did for Rambo what the original did for Top Gun. In the meantime, he must locate Saddam Hussein's cache of nukes and (more importantly) win the heart of his therapist Ramada Thompson ( Valeria Golino) away from a rival pilot. He is called back into service to help save a mission that is being sabotaged by a greedy weapons manufacturer.

We don't have to sit here and endure the same plot over and over again! We deserve something more! Something better!" And he took the same plot we'd seen over and over again, and made us see it yet again, only this time, it was different. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
