Hot Shots!, in addition to being a parody of war movies—particularly Top Gun—is a story of the archetypal conflict of self vs. self.
Ace navy pilot Topper Harley’s father was blamed for the death of another pilot nearly 20 years before the movie takes place. Topper, who is somewhat mentally unstable, freezes up at the mere mention of his father. He projects his father’s failures onto himself.
Topper Harley’s greatest enemy in the film is not his rival Lt. Kent Gregory or the Iraqi air force, but his own self-doubt. |
