    • @tannhauser5399
      @tannhauser5399 2 года назад +4

      @JedHead77 - true. And a lot of that behaviour is reall too... A bit exaggerated in the movie of course. But it is not "childish" in anyway. Some may see that, and I get it too. But at the end those kind of guys/professionals, at that level, yeah - they are driven by the ego too, and they know their own abilities...and they better be/do. Ego included, and also being part of the larger team. It is a part of what is making them the best at what they are doing. In any profession really, if you look deep enough.
      And at the top level, any job , top of your field, after 15+ years of working at the top - yeah, you will meet some really "strange" people. And this is not a negative. No. Far from it. Some of that behaviour, attitude - is exactly what has brought them to the top level. And stay there.
      A lot of them are not a "social creatures" too. And that is OK too. As long as they are doing their jobs, and at the top level of any field... I'm cool with it :)

    28:33 By bleeding your speed the enemy fighter overshoots you, thereby making them vulnerable to attack. Which is why whenever you tail a bandit, it's imperative to try and keep your distance as well as matching their speed.

    Not only did he get in trouble the 1st day, he got in trouble for flying below the Hard Deck. That's a major safety violation, since the Hard Deck is a simulation for Ground Level to give pilots a buffer zone above the actual ground. So, by flying under the Hard Deck to get a lock on Jester, he essentially was flying underground (meaning for the purposes of the simulation, Goose and Maverick were dead, a the target lock on Jester didn't count).

    • @InfiniteStates
      @InfiniteStates 2 года назад +7

      To be fair though, Jester dove for the hard deck as soon as he was in Maverick's sights, which was kind of a dick move...

      "Arent we going to talk about the fact the instructor tecnically crashed himself into the virtual ground sir?" .. wich means Maverick would had "won" too since a kill is a kill (in this case is known as a maneovering kill when you make the enemy fly into terrain)

    Funny story... when I was a kid my mom took me to see Top Gun in the theater, and I was loudly singing along to "danger zone" at the beginning of the movie, and then suddenly the movie stop playing, and everyone in the theater could hear my terrible singing before I realized what had happened! It was so embarrassing! Lol

  • @Eisenhorne77
    @Eisenhorne77 2 года назад +15

    When I was in the military, I used to load weapons on planes. We were at Red Flag an air combat exercise and the plane I worked on was really old but was more known for getting shot down every combat sortie. This combat exercise takes place in Las Vegas so that's one big reason why everyone likes going. Well, I get off work loading weapons and I get back to the hotel, I am in the elevator and a bunch of the pilots that flew the planes I worked on got in and started talking about getting a kill. I said congrats on your kill I work on your planes, one of them smiled, stuck his hand in the air and gave me a high five.... then said, yeah, he pretty much flew right in front of me... we all busted up laughing. It was fun because the pilots are high on everything when in the air and it's hard for them to come back down to reality after a combat exercise so, them been cool with me was very rare for pilots. For the rest of the few weeks in the combat exercise they find me each day on the flightline loading weapons and always came over to say hi, I would say "Good hunting", they loved it, lots of fun that deployment.

  • @TheTrmetzgar
    @TheTrmetzgar 2 года назад +10

    If you are wondering why Cougar freaked out so bad. The sound of being locked on is the equivalent of having a loader fun held to your face. You are as good as dead if they fire and some people don't bounce back right away. You nailed an issue with this movie that no one really talks about, that being the accident that caused Goose's death was more Iceman fault than anyone if you think about it. Here you have a guy that is always going off about the rules and is known to be cool and calculating but it was his frustration and completive nature that triggered the accident. I mean everyone was telling him to "get out of there" but he wanted to win so bad he was acting like Maverick. Once he realized that he couldn't get the shot he pulled off in anger. At his level of skill and knowledge he should have been aware of the danger his jet wash could create but he made a mistake out of arrogance. Sure Maverick needed the wake up call and he should feel guilty so it was good for the story but I feel that this was a lost opportunity for Iceman character growth. I love this movie.

    Popular misconception that pilots need great eyesight. Yes there is a minimum but, if you wear contacts they count for corrected vision. Not without. In theory you can have terrible eyesight but if you can pass the test with correction you are good to go.

    The harshness of Charlie's words at the airport was unquestionable to me for so many years, but also, consider this: 1.Charlie has super-high security clearance, she knows a lot of shit regarding the details of what they do. 2. We're talking about the top 1 percent of Naval Fighter Weapons School. They aren't as easily broken as Mitchell who works at Safeway.

  • @ScreamingTc
    @ScreamingTc 2 года назад +1

    Goose's death was based on a handful of real events on the original F-14A. To save money on manufacturing costs, the F-14 used engines were taken from an earlier fighter jet that had never been intended for dogfights, and so the fatal flaw of interrupted airflow causing a compressor stall, leading to the flameout, was only discovered after it started causing crashed. The biggest problem was the flat spin the F-14s found themselves in would lead to an area of low pressure just above the plane, meaning the canopy never separated in the way intended, and the ejecting pilots could smash into them. It claimed a few lives before they re-wrote the manual on how to deal with the flameouts.

    • @arakuss1
      @arakuss1 2 года назад

      The TF30 engines were designed for the F-111B which was a multi role fighter bomber. In the 1960s, US Defense Secretary Robert McNamara forced the Navy to participate in the USAF’s TFX (Tactical Fighter Experimental) competition to reduce development costs. This would be General Dynamics F-111 which was was terrible for carriers and the F-11B was dropped for the Gruman F-14 in 1968. Pratt and Whitney which had the engine contract already had the TF30 engines but yes they were not designed for some of the high intense angles a fighter jet performed but they did have power. The Navy had insisted on its own fighter jet so the F-14 would be developed with the TF30 engines. No sooner did the first first F-14 took off in 1970 the Navy asked for an upgrade. This would be the F-14B but the Pratt Whitney engine F-100 failed its tests so any chance of upgrading the exiting F-14s or a new F-14B was put on hold in 1974. It was not till 1979 when General Electrics designed the new F-101 for the B-1 which was later canceled. In 1984 with some changes General Electrics wins the contract for the new engine upgrade the F-110 Engine. The new F-14Ds and upgrades to the F-14 fleet would not begin till then 1987. So had Maverick and Goose flew a little later Goose would still be alive. Your right in an attempt to reduce costs they went with the TF30 engines it was not to reduce manufacturing but development costs. The navy by 1970s was already looking to upgrade. When the F-14 was in development the only engine was the TF30. No others were ready yet and Pratt's & Whitney new engine failed which is what the Navy wanted to upgrade to. So it was either no F-14 or the F-14 they got in the 1970s.

    A lot of the awesomness of this film are down to the late, great Tony Scott (RIP) who directed it. His other films are also worth checking out, especially the phenomenal Man on Fire. And for extra points, the Quentin Tarantino/Tony Scott masterpiece that is True Romance :D

    This movie is incredible, and the 2nd one was just amazing. It was good enough to make my step mom (in her 60s), my real mom in her 70sn and my dad in his mid-70s brave the crowds at the cinema to go see it in person. I treated them as none of them had ever seen a movie on an IMAX screen before and they are still talking about to this day..... and we saw the movie the weekend after Memorial Day. It's phenomenal, and goes to show you that when there are good characters, people buy into the story, actors enjoy working together and buy into the "process", it doesn't have to be 4 trillion dollars worth of CGI to make a blockbuster. Both films are amazing and I coukd very easily with either of them o er and over. Thus is a Hollywood blockbuster done right, so the formula is out there..... and it didn't involve superheroes to get it to $1 billion+.

  • @biguy617

    This is an awesome movie. You should check out other Tom Cruise movies like The Outsiders, A Few Good Men and other Val Kilmer’s movies like Tombstone and Real Genus, The Doors which is about the true story of Jim Morison the lead singer of the Classic Rock n Roll band The Doors. Too bad Val Kilmer doesn’t act anymore though he got Throat Cancer and was forced to retire from acting. He is mentioned in the new Top Gun movie. Miles Teller plays Goose’s son in the movie. Jennifer Connelly plays Tom Cruise’s new love interest. Her character is the “Admiral’s daughter” that was mentioned in the throw away line.

    1. An old shipmate of mine was on the Enterprise when they filmed this.
    2. Gooses death was not Maverick's fault. Iceman was bogarting his LOS approach and they got caught in the jet wash.
    3. I spent 24 years in the US Navy. 6 on "bird farms" (Carriers). I have seen 1000+ launches and landings without a single crash.
    These men and the men working the flat tops are doing the most dangerous job in the world (for the good guys). Shout out😎
    4. Kelly McGillis/Charlie was in a great movie with Harrison Ford "Witness" that's seriously worth a first time/share HINT HINT
    5. Tom Skerritt/Viper not only played Dallas in "Alien" he also played Strawberry in "Up in Smoke" with Cheech and Chong.
    6. Val Kilmer/Iceman has a long list of movies including but not limited to: "Willow", "The Doors" and "Tombstone"
    7. The Goose was the RIO (Radar Intercept Officer) radar, communications and navigation.
    8. Onboard the ship the Squadron leader would not be smoking a cigar in that operation space.
    9. Meg Ryan is my honey. A great overlooked movie with her is with Tom Hanks called "Joe vs the Volcano' She plays 3 parts. HINT HINT
    10. Onboard the ship/aircraft all the perspiration is Hollywood(not the pilot). There is AC onboard.
    11. The TOP GUN school is no longer located at Miramar near San Diego. It's now at NAS Fallon, NV.
    12. In 1991 I was stationed on the USS INDEPENDENCE (CV-62) and they made a movie onboard called "Flight of the Intruder".
    It was seriously cool. Brad Johnson(RIP), Willem DeFoe and Danny Glover. I'm actually in it for a very brief period of time. HINT HINT. You will be the first.
    13. Watching/sharing the new "Top Gun Maverick" is a must. The ariel work in that movie makes this one seem like they were practicing. The best part is that it has a plot.👌

      I still prefer this one to Maverick, although it's close. I think it might be Tony Scott directing and the cinematography, there's such a gritty feel to this movie despite some of the cheese. Maverick is really well made but feels too 'clean' and the ending feels a bit off, like it was being reverential instead of realistic.

  • @CoffeeMatt10

    “That was loud”. That is the sound of an aircraft carrier’s catapult - a high powered piston designed to launch aircraft from 0-175mph in 2 seconds. Think of a balloon pooping, the bang is the sound of air escaping at high velocity. That’s how the piston works. Steam is released at high velocity along a channel, it makes a bang (air travelling faster than the speed of sound, breaking the sound barrier), as it escapes through that channel it pushes the “shuttle”, which the plane’s nose wheel is hooked onto, propelling it to the edge of the deck and sending the plane off the front. Thrust and kinetic transfer from the catapult allows the plane to generate the lift required to get airborne - think of it as a real fast rollercoaster.
    Cougar freaking out is because he realised he could’ve died and left his newborn child fatherless, and his wife would have to bring up their child alone.
    It’s considered a bad landing - there are 4 “wires” on a carrier deck that a plane can hook. Number 3 is the target wire, 2 is acceptable. 1 is “any lower and you’re crashing into the back of the boat”, and 4 is “any higher and you’re going off the front of the boat and into the water”. Cougar was too low and hooked number 1.
    The bar scene - Now, I’ve seen this film probably a thousand times, and I didn’t realise this until I saw someone else point it out recently - when they do their karaoke bit, Maverick is not wearing his shades, but Goose is. When they attend their first brief and Charlie is introduced, Maverick puts on his shades, and Goose takes his off. Not that she wouldn’t already know who they are as they are her students, but it’s the attention to such small detail that I had never noticed before.
    “I think I prefer Goose to Maverick”… that’s gonna hurt later.
    “Maverick does what he wants”. I guess you could say he’s a bit of a… Maverick 😎
    “Maybe Goose dies” whoa! Nobody ever calls that. 19:50 yes, you called it.
    “They really love this song” Take My Breath Away was written for the soundtrack, as was Danger Zone and Playing With The Boys by Kenny Loggins.
    The science behind Goose’s death - F-14A models were fitted with TF30 engines, these engines were notorious for stalling. The design of the F-14, with the amount of separation between the engines, if one of them fails you end up with asymmetrical thrust, with other engine pushing one side of the plane forward ahead of the other, causing it flat spin. These are very difficult to recover from, to the point that the crew will almost always choose to eject. Now comes another problem. Flat spinning creates a zero pressure area over the top of the plane. This causes the canopy to however over the cockpit after it is jettisoned in the ejection sequence (it’s a rapid three-stage sequence: canopy>RIO seat>pilot seat, all in the space of 1 second). This means it is now obstructing the seats as they eject, and as the RIO (Radar Intercept Officer) seat ejects half a second before the pilot, Goose is now being rocket propelled head first into the canopy… official cause of death is a broken neck. This issue was eventually addressed and an emergency canopy jettison was added separate to the ejection to avoid the canopy hover. They also upgraded the engines for the B and D (they skipped C for some reason 🤷🏻‍♂️) models to the more reliable F110.
    “Maverick just quit”
    “Did he? Oh was he packing his locker?”
    Yes, you caught on. You’re only the second reactor that I’ve seen that has caught that.
    “Top Gun is this old film”… hold up a second, it came out the year before I was born, and I ain’t about to be called “old”!
    Top Gun trivia:
    The opening scene was filmed aboard the carrier USS Enterprise, the scene is lit naturally by the sunrise. Enterprise was on operational duty and had to follow a charted course, this course meant that the lost the sunrise from the shot. Director Tony Scott requested that the ship alter course to keep the lighting, but was told by the ship Commander that it would cost $25k to do so. Scott pulled out his personal chequebook and wrote one out on the spot, and got his shot for about 5 more minutes. In a later interview he claimed that he made sure the cheque bounced 😂
    The flat spin scene on screen was tragic as we lost Goose, but it was also tragic in real life. Art Scholl, an aerial stunt cameraman, lost control of his camera plane and plunged into to Pacific Ocean… neither his plane or his body were ever recovered. At the end of the credits there is a message “dedicated to the memory of Art Scholl”.
    The scene at the end when Charlie returns to see Maverick… Tom Cruise is 5ft 7in, Kelly McGillis is 5ft 10in. In order to make it look like she is shorter than him, they dug out a shallow trench in the floor her to stand in.
    The dogfight sequence at the end briefly got Paramount and Tony Scott in a bit of hot water, the Department of Defence permitted the firing of no more than 2 missiles. Through the power of multiple camera angles and editing, they made it look like more than 2 missiles were fired, leading to the DoD launching an investigation. The conclusion was that indeed only 2 missiles were fired (they ain’t cheap you know).
    Top Gun is indeed a real school, not exactly as depicted in the film (it’s not a competition, there is no trophy), but it is used for advanced combat training techniques. There’s a rule in place that anyone who quotes the film shall be fined $5 😂
    Now a little bit of fun. Real world violations within this film:
    1. Cougar with an obstruction on his instrument panel. (The photo of his family)
    2. Maverick disobeying the order to land his plane on low fuel.
    3. Maverick riding alongside a runway on a motorcycle.
    4. Riding said motorcycle without a helmet.
    5. disrespectful and condescending behaviour towards the instructor.
    6. Breaking, and engaging under, the “hard deck” (simulated ground level… they crashed into the simulated ground!).
    7. High speed fly-by over the Air Boss.
    8. Initiating an intimate relationship with an instructor.
    9. Desertion. (Ok he re-engaged, but still… desertion)
    10. High speed fly-by over the Air Boss.
    Also, littering in the ocean 😂

    Fun fact: since you are a fan of Star Wars the clone wars did you know that there was a script written for an unmade episode that was going to revolve around captain Rex and the clone pilots. It was inspired by top gun.

    You should watch the movie Tombstone… the actor (Val Kilmer) in this movie that played Iceman (you referred to as Blondie) is the character Doc Holiday in Tombstone who is almost exactly like Arthur Morgan of Red Dead Redemption 2 but was a real life person and much cooler!! We all know how you loved Arthur and RD2

    Does it trigger anyone else that they use the word insure rather than ensure in their opening text? Someone had one job, write a couple of paragraphs to put on the screen at the very start of the movie...
    The smoke on the aircraft carrier deck at the start is likely steam. The launch catapults on aircraft carriers are powered by steam.
    You're not alone preferring Goose. I imagine most people prefer Goose to anyone else in the movie, except maybe for Mrs. Goose. Great couple really.
    Maverick is pissy because he's been falsely accused during flight analysis. He knew what to do to win and did it. It was unconventional so he got told off, even though he was right.
    Highly recommend part 2. Seeing it in a cinema was unbelievable.

    Gremlins (1 and 2) (for Halloween, maybe?)

    Alyska, I think you should react to ‘Last of the Mohicans’ sometime soon starring Daniel Day Lewis… It’s a screenplay adapted from the oldest American novel that’s a masterpiece IMHO, with some of the best cinematography you’ll find in a movie of that time period.

    I think you might like L.A. Confidential. It's a crime noir movie set in 1950s. It stars Russell Crowe, Kim Basinger, Guy Pearce, Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito. It won an Oscar for Kim Basinger as best supporting actress and another Oscar for best adapted screenplay.

      Well, yes - it’s a humorous scene that employs exaggeration for comic effect. It was hardly the first or last time anyone has interpreted the film that way though - I only brought it up because Alyska mentioned the “weird flirty vibe” between Maverick and Iceman.

  • @Curraghmore

    It's funny that with all the talk of the almost-flirty romantic tension between the pilots in this film, that in real life it was Kelly McGillis, the female romantic interest who is actually gay.

    Every time I see that Tower scene as someone who held the rank of that officer that spilled the coffee and flew the F/A-18 I just want to reach through the screen and somehow ring Lt. Pete Mitchell's neck. Can absolutely guarantee if a junior officer did that with me their career just ended. If they are lucky that would be the only thing too as disobeying a lawful order from a senior officer is actually a crime under the UCMJ. Add in the fact it's also a criminal act to buzz a tower both in the military as well as civilian aviation and "Mavrick" would have been in rather hot water once he touched down.

    But Charlie did give up her job in Washington at the end to go back to Maverick. It is kind of weird hearing how old a lot of younger people think this film is. A lot of the comments below also confirm this but the skirmish at the start could have triggered a nuclear armageddon between the West and the USSR, whereby every human on the planet could have been wiped out either in the explosions, fallout or nuclear winter, where it would drop to negative 100 celcius in the UK. Because of this they were told not to fire, unless fired upon, so Cougar most likely would have been dead before he'd be able to engage with the enemy. This stuff going on in Ukraine right now ties straight back to this type of situation when Vladimir Putin was a KGB agent at the time. I'm a barely middle aged millennial and it freaks me out when I hear younger people refer to this situation as being ancient or they do not understand or trivialise the Cold War. I bet they don't know that the Communist Party in China is also building up detailed data files on every aspect of their lives via Tik Tok and other back doors. The Communist Party also wanted to buy Ashley Madison and Tinder so that they can blackmail and compromise large numbers of people in the free world. Modern politics, media, schooling and culture is really failing Western Society right now. Every man, woman and child in China is now tracked via facial recognition and the government uses the data to prejudice and punish certain people. They execute people after closed court hearings and people essentially just disappear there. I could go on about the torture and re-education camps too but that's a little off topic. It is sad that this generation of movies are almost our last hope to educate the next generation on important stuff that is history but still directly affects their lives and is simmering away behind the scenes, but ready to erupt like a volcano. I wonder if Gen Z even know that they could be conscripted if there is a World War 3 and they'd be the cannon fodder. In prior wars people who refused to fight were put up against a wall and shot by their own men. Other places like Taiwan and the South China Sea could be the next front lines, given the statements made by China only in the last week or so, and North Korea wants to be able to nuke LA soon. It is not a time to be overly complacent about this sort of thing.

    You are to young, but when this movie was released. The Cold War was in full affect. U.S./N.A.T.O vs U.S.S.R/Warsaw Pact.
    U.S. fighter jets mixing it up with Soviet fighter jets. Didn't happen very often, and when they did. There was always the risk of escalating force on each side.
    Which could have resulted into a real shooting war. The type of war that turns the surface of the earth into glass.
