Hot Shots was a spoof of Top Gun, we didn’t get the Rambo parody until Hot Shots Part Deux

I attended a preview of Top Secret!, hosted by the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker trio, a few months before it was released. In a Q&A after the screening, they said that, as they were deciding what to spoof after having done Airplane!, their short list was “Elvis movies, spy movies, and WWII movies”…and as they couldn’t decide, they made a film which parodied all three.
