Trivia / Hot Shots! Part Deux

• Accent Depundent: Some merchandise was advertised in a home video version of the film, with the narrator mispronouncing "Deux" with an American Accent to sound like "dew" (or "do"). One of the merchandise had the writing "Just Deux it!", while it was pronounced "Just do it!".
• Billing Displacement: Rowan Atkinson is billed pretty high in the credits despite maybe just 3 minutes total of screentime during the last 10 minutes of the film! Other actors, such as Ryan Stiles, are billed very low despite much more screentime throughout the film. Ouch.
• California Doubling: Spoofed, by putting a forest, a swamp, and a random family's back yard in Iraq.
• Dyeing for Your Art: Charlie Sheen put on a considerable amount of muscle mass so that he could convincingly play a Rambo parody. Prior to seeing his muscle gain, the producers had thought about putting Sheen in a rubber muscle suit as a visual gag.
• Missing Trailer Scene: The trailer, a parody of the teaser for Rambo: First Blood Part II, contains special shoot footage of Charlie Sheen suiting up as the film's Rambo parody. Also, an alternate version of the first scene in the White House is included. And this line from Col. Denton as he's being tortured and asked about Topper going up against 3,000 men: "He figures the odds are in his favor."
• You Look Familiar: Same actors with new roles. Most notably, Ryan Stiles, who played the pilot "Mailman" in the first movie, is the explosives expert Rabinowitz in this movie.
