Netflix’s series are darker and grittier than the majority of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s streaming shows so far — save, perhaps, for Oscar Isaac’s brand new Moon Knight — and many initially expected them to end up on Disney’s more adult-friendly Hulu.
Now, another odd occurrence has taken place. The U.S. version of the Disney+ platform debuted three surprise films — Hot Shots! (1991), Hot Shots: Part Deux (1993), and Kiss of the Dragon (2001) — none of which were slated to drop on the service.
As it turns out, all three 20th Century Studios additions were a mistake that have since been removed. The Hot Shots franchise is a Top Gun parody that stars Charlie Sheen. Although the films have a PG-13 rating, Yahoo! noted:
…[they not only have] raunchy scenes…but there is also an F-word thrown in there and “scatological language.” While violent scenes aren’t out of the ordinary for Disney+, foul words are rare.
Kiss of the Dragon, on the other hand, is R-Rated and Yahoo!’s report shared that it “will be released in Canada instead. The movie features Jet Li as a Chinese intelligence agent who joins forces with an American prostitute on a drug ring mission.”
