About Hot Shots
John Sharp (Casey Donovan) receives in the morning mail an unusual brochure called "Hot Shots." Unusual in that there is a free film offer and not one photograph in the brochure. John is forced to use his imagination while reading the provocative descriptions of the various films. The characters described in the brochure and those in his real life begin to interchange. The experiences take him everywhere one might find sex in a city like New York… from low life — warehouses and toilets — to jet setters — Park Avenue executive suites and limousines.
Directed by Wakefield Poole, Hot Shots leans on a strong ensemble — Casey Donovan, Rick Madison, James Gallo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1982.
