Mockumentary Promotion
As part of the film's promotion, a mockumentary was aired on Home Box Office. Titled Hearts of Hot Shots! Part Deux—A Filmmaker's Apology, the mockumentary parodied Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, the 1991 documentary about the making of the film Apocalypse Now (which starred Charlie Sheen's father, Martin Sheen). In a memorable scene in Hot Shots! Part Deux, Martin and Charlie Sheen briefly encounter each other in a scene parodying both Apocalypse Now and Platoon and comment to each other about their respective performance in Wall Street.

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
