#topgunmaverick #reaction #tomcruise
Hey guys! We want to apologize for the comments made about Val Kilmer in our reaction. We had no idea he had throat cancer and it was insensitive to say regardless of that.
Watch Hacksaw Ridge after this. It's Incredible True Story 👍. Besides you'll see Andrew Garfield for the fourth time 😉.
React to One Piece Film Z movie next
Nice vid guys, you should watch bullet train starring Brad Pitt
For those who are Curious about penny. Remember in part one where Maverick was reported for sleeping with an Admirals daughter? Yup, that's the Penny right there. In this Story Penny is the daughter of a retired 1 Star admiral and they both have a history with Pete "Maverick" Mitchelle
Watch Fury it’s a tank movie in WW2 it’s a great movie I enjoy your guys videos keep it up don’t stop doing what you love.
Dude I watched this film 3 times in the cinema with my family, first time I watched it people stood up and actually clapped. That just proves how legendary this movie is.
It helped that this was the first real post-COVID blockbuster people could actually go out and see.
Good film, regardless.
I watched it in theatre and then came home ordered a 7.1 bose surround speakers, setup everything and blasted them full movie for 3 more times. Bloody phenomenal movie.
I watched it 2 times at AMC theater
Really? That’s kind of cringe. The movie was entertaining but it wasn’t much more than that.
That’s also because they landed the plane, and that’s standard protocol for some people 😂
Couple things worth mentioning:
1. Penny was referenced in the first movie a couple of times. Once when Goose and Maverick were being chewed out in the aircraft carrier Captain's room and once by Meg Ryan's character while Goose was playing "Great Balls Of Fire" on the piano.
2. That is actually Tom Cruise's P-51 Mustang at the beginning and end of the movie.
Believe it was his Porsche too...
@@johnyd1911 Correct
“So you can listen to music backwards?”
The look on Chris face at that moment 😭😭😭
Penny was only mentioned as the Admiral's daughter that Maverick took for a joyride. However they did use the same house 😂
It's kinda creepy if you use real world time lines. Jennifer Connelly was 16 when Top Gun came out.
@@Suddenly-Eggs and tom cruise was 24
Sorry - not the same house. The original house was a dilapidated wreak. Also, the original house was one story. There are a ton of houses in San Diego that look similar enough to make the people wonder.
Penny's house is in San Pedro California, Charlie's house is in San Diego.
Charlie’s rental house was located in Oceanside, CA (North County of San Diego) and was moved for newer construction in the area/neighborhood. I think the “cottage” is now a Top Gun themed pie shop!!
Dune and Top Gun: Maverick were two movies that were absolutely unforgettable experiences in IMAX
Intersteller
Dune is bad but up to you
@@enticingchase4579 Dune is amazing!
@@subhashismandal9871 Pretty much any movie scored by Hans Zimmer is gonna be dope in IMAX
Wait until Oppenheimer comes out. Christopher Nolan's middle name is IMAX
Lifetime U.S. Naval aviation guy here. Top Gun Maverick was very real as far as flying and coms goes with regard to the Super Hornet. I was also a Tomcat guy too, and the Tomcat start up scene was impeccable….it was accurate and perfect. Thanks for the reaction video. You all are great! Thank you!
Edit: if you didn’t know, that’s Tom Cruise’s P-51 Mustang and he’s actually flying it. He’s a great pilot in real life.
Again, thanks for the great content.
Thank you for your service sir.
@@SulliMike23 lol there are no “lifetime naval aviators” or any other kind of lifetime aviator. Service for pilots is usually less than 5 years then you get grounded most of the time due to rank advancements. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. People like to make up stuff.
@@zimvader25 actually, you’re very wrong. 5 years won’t even cover the amount of carrier deployments you’d be required to embark. The majority pilots in today’s navy are in their late 30s, having graduated flight school in their early 20s. Also, many pilots are “life timers”… meaning their father was a naval aviator and they were raised around aviation. I was born on base and spent a good portion of my childhood on base. I made the decision to be a fighter pilot at a very young age, committed to learning everything I could throughout my teen years. Unfortunately, for medical reasons, I wasn’t able to live that dream. However, most pilots I know have a similar story. I think that’s what he meant by “lifetime”
I mean they really did this all practical. The actors all learned how to fly F-18, and almost all maneuvers are real. Crazy the studio signed of on this
@@thedeep6570 they weren’t flying. They were in the WSO’s seat.
this movie made me cry, not because it was sad, but because at the end i looked over to my dad and he was bawling. He watched the first movie when he was in his teens and he said he felt like he was back there.
When hangman saved Maverick and rooster at the last second, the whole audience stood up and cheered like a baseball team
Penny was the Admiral's daughter that Goose mentioned in the original that Mav got in trouble sleeping with
My dad helped make the f-14 and he taught me so much about jets so seeing the f14 go against the su57 go against my dad's f14 had me a little emotional
My uncle worked on the F-14 radar systems!
🆒
Grumman iron works....American steel...twin blowers baby
That's so awesome
You must’ve had an incredibly unique experience.
Watching this in theatres in the summer was an unforgettable experience. Tom Cruise’s hard work and dedication to making movies like this is undeniable and unarguable.
I watched this movie in IMAX when it came out and my jaw was literally on the floor the entire time. I'm not much of a movie buff, but this film is the perfect example of pure cinema. It's also refreshing to see a film dominate the box office without it being a superhero movie.
Tom Cruise...........Maverick..........Not a superhero?
LOTR
Retired Navy here. Much of this movie is pretty spot on. Yes, some inaccuracies are present, but usually for dramatic flair, from the flight scenes all the way down to the bar quirks, strong personalities and all. (I did roll my eyes at the inaccuracies, but I know they’re a necessary evil.)
Maverick was always Active Duty. The beginning scene was of him on special assignment or special project. It is a thing for members who have special skill sets. Sometimes through volunteer, sometimes through voluntold. “They’re called orders, Maverick.” Usually the voluntoldees are excited to be chosen for a particular set of orders.
Yes, drones are becoming more and more present, but the need for human pilots in the seat overrides any autonomous tech. Pros and cons to both.
All three actors who played the Admirals were perfect. If I didn’t know better I’d say they were the real deal. No joke.
Yes, we play some…interesting sports in the military.
Rooster’s problem with Mav is the paper-pulling, not his dad’s death.
Yes, the net/barricade is a very real part of emergency landing procedures.
Clearly "Phoenix" is the BEST pilot. During the bird strike, she gained altitude (a pilots best friend) all things possible and made sure that BOB ejected first, before ejecting herself. Also: "Nice."
That's pretty much standard throughout the military.
@bob ashby ???
Best Pilot Was Hangman in The Movie he did'nt get selected because of his cocky attitude
Phoenix was spot on brilliant. Walked, talked, and looked like a fighter pilot. She had several female fighter pilot mentors she worked with.
Penny Benjamin was a mention in the first movie, as one of the things that Maverick did a fly by and got in trouble for.
The cinematography of this movie was absolutely top tier. Haven't seen a movie this good in a long time.
In regards to Maverick's ability against the other pilots, there's a great interview that Jocko Willink did with an actual former lead instructor at Top Gun. He specifically asked how realistic it is for an instructor to just ace everyone, and he actually said that is very realistic. These instructors just spend so much time practicing dog fights and focusing on that one aspect of combat that they wreck students.
Im sure someone has told yall by now but...Penny is the Penny Benjamin that Goose mentioned at the beginning of the first top gun movie. The admiral's daughter brought up by "Principal Skinner" when they got back from helping Cougar get back to the ship.
Y'all remember this:
Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash. You've been busted, you lost your qualifications as section leader three times, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high speed passes over five air control towers, and one admiral's daughter!
Goose : Penny Benjamin?
Wow. Totally forgot about that. Now THAT's what I call a fucking sequel. Referencing things in original movie most people don't even remember were there. That's a brilliant move.
Tom Cruise takes no prisoners I guess.
And you, asshole, you're lucky enough to be here!
I'm like 20, but I watched the Top Gun movie - and it really had a lot of charm, and when Maverick came out this year I was SO HYPED the entire time. First day, IMAX, no regrets. absolutely phenomenonal
My wife grew up with a pilot for a dad, learned to fly, and loves planes & jets. She LOVED this movie. When the part where the fifth-generation fighter cut engines and floated to dodge the missile had her whisper, “Holy f-k” in the theater.
Geez you guys laugh at everything when you're in a group lol. And yes Val Kilmer has been having health issues for a while now. "He underwent chemotherapy and two tracheotomies. In 2020, he revealed that he had been cancer free for four years, and that he uses a feeding tube because he can no longer eat. In 2021, his voice was able to be re-created through AI technology using archival audio of his voice"
Surprised with 6 of you, none of you guys knew that. But just makes jokes about the poor guy ig lol
Loved the reaction btw! Just my little nitpick that irked me for a few lol. I just feel bad for Val 😭🔥
I heard Val Kilmer's son helped with the voice scene for Ice Man.
@@defletcher2902 me too
F/A-18 Super Hornet guy in real life here. The aviation physics in this movie were pretty much dead on. Bravo!
Probably the best sequel made to a movie imo
Tough decision. Empire Strikes Back....Godfather 2.....and Aliens are right there too.....
If I remember correctly Val's voice synthesis wasn't completed until after filming for this movie was finished.
I went into this movie not thinking i was gonna like it. But its become one of my favorite movies!
I'm so disappointed that Suraj was not here to tell us that this 12:55 was Not Penny's Boat!
@@summerrunner1755 easy dude 🙄
@@hasan_1888 Boohoo, she has a different political opinion than you.
@@hasan_1888 god forbid someone has a different opinion than you
@@hasan_1888 Sorry my dude, you're the one triggered by a random RUclipsr espousing their political opinion. Please grow up.
Every student that goes through that school in real life becomes a teacher. They take back all the experience they got at the school back to their CVN's and pass it on to the other pilots. I had a wingman that graduated from there. That girl knew how to fly that's for damn sure.
Dude asked if you can listen to the music backwards. I think someone should let him know that keeping pace with the sunrise/sunset line is not the same thing as traveling at the speed of LIGHT!
When it comes to the type of person who usually pilot fighter jets, and even weaponized rotary aircraft, tend to be Type A personalities. Achievement-oriented, workoholic, competitive, fast-pace, aggressive, dominant, and impatient. My husband is an AH-64 Apache pilot, fits this personality, along with the majority of his fellow pilots in his field. It is very competitive, from flight school to stationed assignment you are constantly testing your skills against others. So hangman’s personality definitely fits here.
A fun Easter Egg for this film is: In the bar scene, David Bowie is playing in the background! Jen's first Megahit movie Labyrinth!!!
"Who is Penny again?"
Penny was a love interest both pre and post Charlie.
She is referred to by Stinger, Goose and Carole in Top Gun.
In the scene where Stinger is chewing out Maverick:
Stinger: "a history of high-speed passes over five air control towers and one admiral's daughter!"
Goose, leaning over to Maverick: "Penny Benjamin"
Later when Carole and Bradley arrive at the airport Carole mentions that time that Maverick "went ballistic with Penny Benjamin" and again in the diner scene with Charlie, Carole adds "Goose told me all about that time you went ballistic with Penny Benjamin"
It's really great how they took a few off hand references to someone in Maverick's love life and turned her into a fully fledged character with a believable history and some real chemistry with Mav.
I’m so glad Chris called pat out at the end because that was INSANE 😂😂😂
I got to watch this for the first time at the Drive-In, which I HIGHLY recommended. It was a breezy summer night so the atmosphere really contributed to the experience. Absolutely incredible movie.
Tom Cruise's biggest movie ever, the #1 movie of the year, best sequel of the year, #1 movie of the decade, the 2nd film to gross over $1 billion in the movie theatre re-booming during Covid-19.
A great story with so much nostagia of the original.
To be made and to be made as real as possible makes this a great piece of work.
Seeing Val Kilmer as Iceman again was so heartwarming, even with knowing what he's really gone through.
A series of video games (1986-2010) was good run for movie to game adaptations.
I had the 18th and final game on PS3 subtitled "Hard Lock" (2010) and it's set years after the first film, Maverick as an instructor to an new generation of pilots.
But his best student, Lance Webb aka Spider takes on an elite special mission (predates the movie sequel's story, crazy).
But in any event, the 3 years of waiting for TG:M to was so worth the admission.
Moreover a great star wars movie storywise and deathstar destruction and characters and dynamics ..so yea a great story
22:31 "so you could listen to music backwards" their reaction ahahahahahaha
I literally watched this movie 3 times within 2 days of releasing, and fun fact: most of the plane scenes are real planes and they are really in those planes acting, that’s why it feels so real and exhilarating. I love this movie, I think it’s the best movie in the past years
My girl fangirling over BOB is SO me
Loved this movie one of the best this year glad y'all reacted to it !!!!
When you realize Tom Cruise owns the P-51D and actually flies it both irl and in the movie.
Give Cruise more credit, he was 60 when he filmed all that.
@@theawesomeman9821 well that’s commonly known, gotta add the stuff ppl don’t know about.
What I actually love about this is that Tom actually made the actors train like military and they did fly their own planes. Like them flying is actually real
No you DUMBASsS they rode in the back of two seat f18's - geez what a bunch of idiots !
They didn't fly. But they did train. They were in the WSO Seat of the jets.
@@3shyammenon Oh I see I thought they were actually the ones piloting the planes. They still did well
Yeah the shots withe Phoenix and Bob, or Payback and Fan boy were actual composites, as they were both in the back of the jet.
@@strbrrymochii Dont think the US Navy would trust a group of actors who only trained for 3 months to fly their jets to that extent. It takes years for regular fighter pilots to reach that stage of competency.
Top Gun one. They're talking about Vietnam, we were not supposed to cross into Cambodia or Laos, but we had to. The Viet Cong kept doing it. That's how Mavericks dad died.
Penny was the Admiral’s Daughter mentioned in Top Gun one.
My dad was in the navy and I was looking through one of his what it seemed like a photo book of one of the ships he was on. The pictures were actual photos of them during work, so it would make sense that the photos you asked who was taking at the end actually could've happened.
Props to Navi and Mickey the only two folks I've seen watching this so far who get that Hangman is the Maverick of the bunch. All the others bods I've seen doing videos on it seem to think he's an Iceman analog, presumably more based on his looks than anything else.
Anyway, class film. really surprised me how much I enjoyed it.
In regards to the guy who said "we have way faster jets now." Technically both the F/A-18 Super Hornet and the F35C are slower in terms of top speed than the F-14 Tomcat which was featured in the first Top Gun.
This is 10/10 love this film! This is how you do a sequel after years right🔥 Val Kilmers scene was so damn good & this was tense most of the time the flying scenes were incredible wonder how much training the actors did for it
Moreover a great star wars movie storywise and deathstar destruction and characters and dynamics .awesome
The downward spiral is called the fighting eagles. Cuz thats how eagles test each others strength, they hang on until the other can't.
Watched this 6 times in theaters. I cry every time. Including now.
I dont trust anyone that doesn't cry during this movie.
"so would you be able to listen to music backwards" 🤣
Just so you know, the F-18 has a top speed 1090, or mach 1.8. The F-14 had a top speed of 1544, or mach 2.34. Most gen 5 fighters have a top speed between 1100 and 1300 MPH. The F-14 smokes them all in speed!
The F-14 was a single-role aircraft. The F-18 can be configured for multiple kinds of missions.
The P-51-D Mustang you see in the beginning and the end is Tom's real life plane. Most of the air scenes are real the close air combat scenes are cgi as there is a proximity minimum range you can not break.
Penny was mentioned in the first Top Gun when Mav buzzed trhe Admirals home Penny was the Admirals daughter.
Saw Top Gun Maverick in July 2022, in Loveland, CO. Saw original 36 yrs ago. This one was not just a movie, but an EXPERIENCE!! NO ONE but TOM CRUISE could have pulled this off!! He is the BEST EVER!!
You guys need to watch the behind the scenes ! The amount the actors themselves had to go through . Insane
Smartest thing Mav did in the dogfight was to rake that first MIG....turned a 2v1 into a somewhat manageable 1v1 fight.
Fun fact, everything in the hanger in the opening and last scene Tom Cruise owns. Also as a Top Gun fan that has literally been waiting my whole life for a sequel.......this movie did not disappoint in any way shape or form. Prefect sequel; Also for those that didn't catch it Penny Benjamin was the one's Admirals daughter from the first movie.......which is an absolutely amazing call back
When Maverick says " Penny?" I was like "holy sh!t! Penny Benjamin?" lol
@@fubar1217 I just instantly replayed the scene in my head and smiled in the theater when I saw it the first time
Another fun fact. Radar guided missiles were defending the mission which aren't affected by flares. Quite a big oversight considering how many things they got correct.
@@azzifyy5988 Don't they dump chaff when they dump flares? Flares are definitely cooler to look at than bits of foil though. :D
Saw this movie in theaters twice and once in imax. Absolutely amazing! Didn't want a love movie either, but with Jennfier Connelly. Yeah, I would see that. Lol. Mavericks inverted move over Rooster was awesome, and those 5th gen fighters against the f-18's was epic
Same....
When I saw this in theatre the first day it opened the crowd was cheering louder than you guys were and yes it was the trench run on Star Wars.
Hi Normies! Great video! Let me clear up some confusion about Mach speeds and G forces and Gravity.
PS: I'm knowledgeable but not an expert, so I might not be 100% correct, so this is based on my knowledge which may be incomplete.
So an aircraft has 3 measures of speed.
Ground speed is how fast you are travelling over the ground. Generally speaking this isn't used for basic navigation but is useful for determining how soon you will arrive at your destination and can be tracked via GPS.
Airspeed is how fast you are travelling through the air and if you are travelling against the wind your airspeed will be higher than flying with the wind, this is why airplanes take off and land into the wind because they use up less runway that way.
Mach is speed of sound through the fluid (in this case air) you are currently flying through. This is variable depending on atmospheric temperature, which generally gets warmer as you get lower and colder as you get higher.
The number of G's you are pulling is less about speed and gravity and more about inertia. It is a measure of force equal to the pull of Earth's gravity, multiplied based on acceleration and changing direction. But it's not a measure of gravity itself. When you are in a car and you step on the gas, it takes awhile for your body to catch up, and you get pushed back into your seat. When you pull up in a jet it takes a while for your body to catch up, and your body (and organs and blood) gets pushed down into your seat, and at very high G's your blood drains from your brain and you black out. If you suddenly go nose DOWN there is the opposite effect, a red out, where your blood rushes to your head. This doesn't just affect your body, it effects every part of the airplane as well.
The effect of earth's gravity is equal to 1g all the time, but the force of gravity doesn't diminish that significantly until you get VERY (very) far away from the Earth. The reason why astronauts feel lighter is because they are going very very fast. Like when you drop a ball, it just falls, and when you throw it, it falls slower. In space, with so little air friction, you can go VERY fast, fast enough to counter gravity completely, and as a result you feel weightless. You're not escaping gravity, you are just in a state of freefall, like the feeling you get when you jump in an elevator going down except way more noticeable, and you are going too fast to fall.
It's the same reason why the moon doesn't crash into the Earth or fly away into space (actually it is, just very very slowly), and is why all the planets don't go crashing into the Sun. Everything in the solar system formed from swirling clouds of particles and clumped together, and formed balls as they swirled around the central mass that got ignited into the Sun. That motion translated into how planets orbit and how they achieved equilibrium once all the small stuff clumped together into planets.
Hope that helps! And there might be someone smarter than me that can chime in if I got something wrong. Thanks for entertaining us!
12:44 for those who do not know she was the admiral's daughter that mentioned in TOP GUN (1986)
Lol, love how Navi was like, "but it's tom cruise, he can't die"
Literally
Btw, that's Val Kilmer's actual voice. That's why you don't see him in any new movies. Sadly, he actually has had throat cancer.
I LOVE that Barricade trap! I participated in one back in 1997.
but its not him actually speaking
@@julieeverett7442 yeah, I saw that they used AI to make his voice audible.
The friction generated by a hypersonic jet going through the atmosphere is insane. It doesn't light the air on fire, it ionizes the air, strips the electrons off of the atoms and turns the air into plasma. It's what happens on re-entry with the shuttle and any spacecraft really.
For the Darkstar jet, they actually hired the Skunkworks... the guys that designed the F117A nighthawk and other stealth aircraft, the SR-71, etc. They worked with the production team on the film to design the jet to be functionally capable of Mach 10, but also look cool for a movie. And then they built it. Just a mockup, it can't actually fly, but when they roll it out of the hangar and taxi it... that's a real fullsize, non digital, built by the wizards at the Skunkworks themselves prototype. That's just a freaking awesome level of detail.
Any pilot during the current Top-Gun sessions; including Red Flag -- pays a penalty of $5 per instance -- for each movie quote uttered during the training period. However, the sound-track, you know all pilots love and have memorized!
You guys are great! 1. Number of G’s is the multiplier for what your weight would feel like. 10 G’s is 10xs your weight. 2. My uncle worked for NASA from the 60s until he retired. He was highly placed. In the early 90s, he was evaluating 3 commercial jets with the private industry. They were Mach 3, Mach 6, and Mach 12. The last means NY to Tokyo in 2 hours. It had to fly in the stratosphere and ‘skim’ the atmosphere to fly in thinner air to reduce friction and heat.
“The movie is just US military propaganda”
By god, it worked. Triple the defense budget
FYI Penny is mentioned in the first move when they are getting yelled at for buzzing the tower and told they are going to TOP GUN. :...... "and one Admiral's Daughter... Penny Benjamin."
Easily the best film of 2022. Great reaction Normies! 👍🏿
Best indeed, Moreover a great star wars movie storywise and deathstar destruction and characters and dynamics
That comment: "If Tom Cruise was in game of thrones......." was epic.
i remember when the original movie came out and was great, hard to believe its been almost 40 years since and now, just finished watching T.G Maverick and i would say it is superb from the acting, action, and effects. I enjoyed this sequel much more than i thought i would bringing something fresh but also nostalgia feeling back from decades ago. This is a sure fire winner, a great movie and would be great to see Top Gun 3. Big thumbs UP. A great follow up where sequels usually fail but this did not. Want to also say it was great seeing Iceman again despite his real life cancer battle but he was great in the short time on screen and Miles Teller, fantastic as the son of Goose, great job on performance and on screen chemistry. The perfect ending to the story of Pete "Maverick" Mitchell./ Tom Cruise.
I gotta say I’ve seen this film several times already and that was the first time I recognized the reference to Rooster and the Slow Ride - Song, nice call out!
I am retired Navy my dad was retired Air Force I am private pilot rated IFR VFR multi-engine and an Air Historian which means I know my planes.
The group's immediate love for Bob lmao same
Penny is the “Admiral’s daughter” that they mentioned in the beginning of the original movie - “Penny Benjamin”
The test plane is the SR-72, successor to the wonderful SR-71.
22:32 22:41 I laughed so hard my vision got blurry af! Damn you dude 🤣
If you were curious, Rooster blamed Maverick for what happened to his dad “Goose”. In the early stages of the film, Rooster didn’t like Maverick for what he did, then later on in the film, he respects him and saves his life. At the end, Rooster said: “It’s what my dad would say.” That is a reference if Goose was in the same cockpit as Maverick, he would’ve saved his life. Penny Benjamin is Pete’s love interest. She was only mentioned in the original film. Now we see her in the second film.
Rooster wasn't mad about his dad. He was mad because Maverick pulled his application packet for the Naval Academy and he didn't know why. Maverick tells Penny that Rooster's mother made him promise that he wouldn't let him become a fighter pilot.
So glad they found a tasteful way to incorporate Val Kilmer's illness into the story
Makes me miss my Navy days. I was a Tomahawk operator in my early days, then became a AIC ( Air Intercept Controller ) on the Constellation CV-64. The one on the radar talking to the pilots. Quite a bit of some bogus stuff in here. But A lot of accuracy to. Good movie. USN, OSC ( SW ) AIC Retired.
Guys, I loved all of your reactions to this movie! You all brought up really good points about the characters in the movie. As far as robots fighting robots for each side in a war, that is a little far fetched. Because at the end of the day, the decisions of who those robots will take out is left up to humans at the controls. We cannot give those robots AI (artificial intelligence) to make those decisions. We have already found out that AI robots are capable of disobeying human commands. There is a video out there that talks about scientists that built two AI computers. The robots started talking to each other in a computer code that the scientists couldn't understand. They asked the computers to tell them what they were talking about, and the computers said NO! They pulled the power on those computers IMMEDIATELY and disassembled them. They knew what could happen if they didn't! There will always be a need for human interaction in WAR. You all gained a subscriber here. GREAT JOB.
Fun fact the f-18’s in the movie are actually slower than the F-14s in the first movie lol…..f-18 max speed Mach 1.18 and the f-14 is Mach 2.5
Really missed you guys. Thanks for the reaction
To me this is the best movie of the decade.
Hey! About that “border thing w/ some imaginary line somewhere”…
It wasn’t the movie attempting to be ambiguous about who the enemy was. There are always disputes between nations and even provinces within nations as to where borders are. He was speaking to that phenomenon in which SOME map that SOMEBODY made is saying a border line is SOMEWHERE and that they had crossed it unknowingly. It happens all the time, and if Americans knew how often this happens, and how often little conflicts like that occur, jaws would hit the floor.
-retired pilot
The airplane in the hanger is a WW2 P-51 Mustang that Cruise owns & flies it himself ..
Other planes Cruise owns: N547SA Airbus helicopter - bombardier challenger 650 - Honda Jet - Gulfstream IV
On November 16, 2004, NASA made history by launching the X-43A, the first-ever air-breathing hypersonic vehicle, into the atmosphere, achieving Mach 10 speed. The X-43A separated from its booster and accelerated on scramjet power at nearly ten times the speed of sound (7000 MPH) at roughly 110,000 feet.
Mark 2:33. A one-hundred yard penalty for referring to a warship as a mere, "boat"! A boat can't carry a ship, but ships are required to have boats either aboard ship, if large enough, or towed behind, if too small to carry it aboard. ⚓
I've watch this movie at least 30 times, and I still love it❤💪
Jennifer Connelly's character is the Admiral's daughter they reference Mav getting in trouble with in the first movie.
Your reaction to this movie is top notch! Tom Cruise exceeded expectations in this masterpiece. I was 11 years old when the original Top Gun came out. This movie brings back memories!
OMG, this movie.... so much feels... chills each time he says "Talk to me Goose"
You guys are a lot of fun. Star Wars took their idea of "trench run from the Military and added their twist. The Air Force and Navy has been doing "trench/canyon runs training since the 1960's. As far as Penny goes... from the first movie: "a history of high-speed passes over five air control towers and one admiral's daughter," with Goose mentioning her name ( Penny Benjamin) under his breath.
Later, Goose's wife Carole Bradshaw mentions to Maverick that he had told her all about "the time you went ballistic with Penny Benjamin. :)
The movie is incredible seeing it on the IMAX screen. Yes, like the original and The FInal Countdown, this movie is kinda like propaganda for the armed forces. But it is supercool as entertainment. Props to Tom Cruise for getting the Navy to allow cameras inside the cockpits and actors to be in there for even more realism. Also props because he pushed for a theatrical release and I'm so glad he did. FANBOY's helmet font is the one used for the Star TRek TOS.
In the original top gun Maverick was pulled into the admiral's office for doing high-speed flybys by towers. And he was also reprimanded for taking an admiral's daughter for a ride. Her name was Penny Benjamin
Did you get the Easter egg? When Maverick first meets Penny(Jennifer Connely) in the bar!! Music by David Bowie plays in the background, with whom she filmed Labyrinth when she was 16.
With all the divisiveness we've had in this country the past few years, this movie did a good job to make people feel united again, even for a little while.
the BEST movie of 2022. i saw it a few weeks after release but i demanded to be seen on the big screen
Fun fact: The F-14 of the original top gun was way faster than the F-18s and F-35s used by the navy today
I don’t exactly know by how much but the F-14s top speed was Mach 2.3 - 2.4 while the F-18 sits at Mach 1.8 and the F-35 sits at Mach 1.6
Watching this in the cinema was an unforgettable experience
