** It's impossible to see any scenes with Topper and Washout together without thinking of Series/TwoAndAHalfMen.


* AcceptablePoliticalTargets: UsefulNotes/SaddamHussein. It ''was'' [[UsefulNotes/GulfWar 1991]] after all.

** ''Film/TopGunMaverick'' bears striking resemblance to the Hot Shots!, much more than original movie. Premise with brilliant and experience, but troubled pilot among younger aviators; main mission being a ground strike on nuclear facility, etc...

** Admiral Benson's eulogy eventually involves characters from ''Film/TheGodfather'', which is made funnier [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia! given what Lloyd Bridges later appeared in]].

*GeniusBonus: When Admiral Benson is unable to remember if he was wounded by a bazooka at "Little Bighorn... or was it Okinawa?", his clarification of "the one without the Indians" actually excludes both, due to the presence of Navajo Code Talkers at Okinawa.

* HoYay: Wash out is very interested in Topper from the beginning of their acquaintance, he wants to say goodbye to Topper when he is fired, and when Topper manages the action and comes out in one piece, the others cheer, but he bursts out in tears of joy. Not to mention [[MeadowRun running to him with open arms]] in the happy end.
