Topgun Maverick is a GREAT movie, even if it did take a couple of liberties for the sake of telling the story. No movie is perfect but many come close, (to varying degrees).
As a former Tomcat maintainer, I appreciated their efforts at bringing her back to life, even if it was only on film.

An excellent clip...

I enjoyed the movie anyway despite some unrealism. But they did get one scene right - This is so old!

[@foxkill7]

They sure got the gun sound wrong…..☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️🤨🤨🤨

Brrrt. Brrt.

Strangely they got it right in Final Countdown. Go figure.

@@danielkoch4572The Final Countdown is the finest movie about the Tomcat ever made. If you want to watch Tom Cruise, watch Top Gun. If you want to watch Tom Cat, it’s Final Countdown all the way.

I watched a really interesting video on the making of Top Gun: Maverick by a VFX specialist and there is a TON of CGI in the film. But directors want everyone involved to sell that everything is ‘real’.

Fly Navy 👊

Word on the street was Tom Cruise didn’t need any direction on how to start the jet. He remembered from 1986. He comes prepared.

[@motha_trucker]

the bar can't be that high with old people and women flying them

[@BJM-Florida]

horribly unrealistic movie

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

That’s a lie. 1986 was a long time ago.

If only they could have asked you.
