      60 minutes, why don't you tell the public the real reasons why China would take over Taiwan in the first place, 95% of the American people have no clue?
      US corporations are heavily invested in Taiwan, Corporate America is using the US military to protect their interests and assets in foreign countries around the globe, the question 60 minutes should ask this high ranking US military officer is, why are US taxpayers picking up the cost for the US military to protect corporate America's assets and interests in foreign countries?
      Please answer that 60 minutes?

    The best part about the top gun is that the parts that should be realistic are, and the parts that are fun and perfectly acceptable to exaggerate for effect are totally exaggerated for fun and movie effect. So well put together and it will go down as a modern classic

      I disagree, because it's glorifying the actual navy and giving people a wrong image of what's it like. When the first Top Gun came out in 1986, there was US military waiting in front of thatres to recruit young people who had been brainwashed by the propaganda of the film. They were successful.

      Media literacy is so low nowadays that everyone wants to be a Cinemasins critic and point out any minor unrealistic error as if it’s a real critique. You’re supposed to go into movies with a relative suspension of belief, some more than others and a minor goal of any movie is to justify its suspension of disbelief which Top gun has accomplished more than adequately. If Top Gun were made realistic to appease these nerds then the movie would have been less of a memorable experience.
      And even then these people would find an angle to pick it apart

      Filmmaking is nothing like reality, but Cruise and the entire team went to lengths which should be heralded as honorable and paying due homage to the true heroes of the sky.

    Even the original "Top Gun" was far more hardcore than many people believe. An EXTREMELY talented stunt pilot lost his life doing what he loved (during the "death spin"). To this day, it's hard for me to watch the scene, because the entire team decided to leave the footage in the film. Obviously, he would have wanted it that way.
    Cruise and his understanding of filmmaking and its importance should be given the STELLAR credit it is due. Just the amount of efforts they put in to honor Kilmer (his throat cancer wreaked havoc, obviously) is enough where people should be nodding in silence and offering a fist pump instead of any different gesture.

      I went with some friends to a Blue Angels show during fleet week. One female friend was kind of bored so I started explaining how it was, in a lot of ways, a tactical display. Pointing how how a jet could pop up from the hills by the Golden Gate, fire off a missile and leave the area before you could even register what was going on. Like anything, more knowledge behind you enhances the experience. She no longer sees airshows and "kind of dumb". The Blue Angels remain combat ready during their displays. They're not stripped down for acrobatics and there's no visual trickery. Flying Paint is a skill in itself.
      I'm glad you enjoyed the airshow. The Navy needs all the support it can get and everyone appreciates it.

    The biggest problem with Top Gun Maverick is that the US would never attack a nuclear site heavily defended by SAMs the way it was portrayed in the movie. Almost certainly, the attack would start with missile attacks and/or SEAD missions to destroy the SAM sites, and the nuclear facility would also be likely taken out with either stealth fighters/bombers and/or long range cruise missile. Seriously, the F-18 would not have a role here, it couldn't survive that environment, no matter how much of a hotshot pilot was flying it.

They'll never make movies to replelicate exactly the way it really goes down in the military. That's like giving the enemy a step by step guide (whoever that may be). Love this movie, though, enough so to buy the bluray set, and I haven't bought a movie in years before this one.

As for Chyna, too many families with only ONE son bcuz of the implementation of Comrad Mao’s one child policy that no family is willing to give up their family name for Xi’s adventurism and dream of trying to take Taiwan.
