Don't worry, Back to the Future III will be posted after this :)
Cool😊
Not sure if it's been answered, but the time this film takes place in is in the 80s, at the last leg of the Cold War (incidentally, this film released less than a month after the Chernobyl disaster). It's implied (though not stated outright) that the enemies in the opening and in the final dogfight of the film (based on the enemy fighters being called MiGs) are in some way affiliated with the former Soviet Union. Obviously, there was never a real MiG-28, nor could any actual MiGs be used since the US and the Soviet Union were still adversaries at the time, so the American-made Northrop F-5 was used as a stand-in for the "MiG-28".
US Navy recruitment skyrocketed after this film released.
As you pointed out, Ice Man is not a bully. All of the advice Ice Man gives Maverick was good advice that by the end of the movie Maverick embraces to some degree. I really hope you watch the sequel Top Gun Maverick because I think you will enjoy it as well.
He wasn’t a bully, but he was a prick. All that competitive ego ….
Maverick is the bad guy in Top Gun. Iceman is the good guy.
@@incredibleadventures1027Yeah Iceman was the most professional and level-headed out of all of them, as well as the smartest. He’s a great role model. The movie should’ve been about him honestly. Would’ve been better
It wouldn’t have played well in the 1980’s. The trope of the smart aleck main character who flouts authority was all the rage. I saw this film in 1986 when I was 18. I sided with Maverick and thought he was sooo cool. Now at 55 I’m like WTF dude are you crazy.
@@Soundtracks92 .... Iceman did everything by the book, but that limited his performance. It also made him predictable, which is not good. He never came up with new and/or unconventional tactics.
Amanda, the new Top Gun Movie is really good. Most people think it's better than this one.
I agree it is one of the movies of all time
It certainly is “one of the movies” of all time.
Damn it! You beat me to it! 😂
This is an iconic and great movie Amanda!! But the sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, it´s a truly MASTERPIECE.
"Why did this Happen?"..... A design flaw in the early Tomcats, if you were in a "Flat-Spin" the canopy would not move out of the way of the ejection seat, and the two would collide..... they changed/corrected this in later versions.....
Also, the Pratt and Whitney jet engines used in the early version F-14 had its own design flaw. If for whatever reason, insufficient air was sucked in through the intake, the engine would stall and shut off. Normally, naval i.e. carrier-based aircraft like the F-14 have two engines for redundancy - if one of them shuts off, you still should be able to fly the plane back to the carrier and land with the other engine. The problem with this engine was that if it shut down, it tended to put the aircraft into aa spin, forcing the other engine to shut off too.
Later versions of the F-14 fixed the canopy problem and started using a more reliable GE engine.
The Sequel (Top Gun: Maverick) is just as good as this one! And it brings back Maverick AND Iceman!
"TOP GUN (1986) Is One of The Movies of All Time!!"
Well, I can't argue with that. It's a completely factual statement...
Its not a new version. Its a sequel. Its at least a "good" as this one.
I was very skeptical when they made a sequel to this movie, because I really liked this one as a kid in the 80’s. But I have to say I actually like the sequel better than the original. You should definitely give it a watch!
“There’s a new version of this movie? I wonder if it’s any good?”
Most people consider the sequel (which came out a year and a half ago) as far superior. It also made sure to put all the actors into the actual fighter jets and film them up in the sky. You should really check it out. It grossed over a billion dollars.
Yes, little kids did watch this movie and they did want to become fighter pilots. The recruitment went up over 400% that year because of this movie.
A lot of people have a death wish apparently. I would just stick to playing fighter pilot video games.
Of course, if that was from little kids watching the movie and deciding they wanted to be fighter pilots, the Navy must have really relaxed their age standards.😀 Guess it didn't just have that effect on little kids.
I’ve been a pilot for thirty years, seven of which were in the military. The character “Maverick” was reckless and “Ice Man”, along with the other pilots, was right to call him out for his reckless behavior. I’ve lost too many friends to aviation accidents over the past thirty years. Every time I lose a friend to an aviation accident, I don’t let it affect me doing my job. You can’t let your emotions affect your job performance.
Exactly. Iceman was the most realistic and the most professional out of them all, as well as the most level-headed and went by the books, like you should in the military. He also always told the truth. I like him wayyy better than Maverick.
Very true, but if the movie was about Iceman it would be boring and we would be zero movie worth watching. Maverick had the greater natural talent, like in so many professions such as this or sports, the real talents are kinda unconventional and on the edge
Fun little FYI: Iceman is the callsign taken from Navel flight (F-16) surgeon, Deniz Tek; Tek served with the Marine Corps.
When the production crew for Top Gun was at the actual school to see how things were run, they meet him and liked his call sign. That’s a long story made very short.
Anyway, prior to the Navy Tek was lead singer in a punk band called, Radio Birdman. “Aloha, Steve and Danno” is their best song. It’s on RUclips and really good.
When you hear it, you’ll hear the real Iceman singing.
The enemy pilots flying the MiG-28s were the Soviets.
That's a possibility. But I'm pretty sure that the movie left the adversary unnamed on purpose - it could have been a lot of different foes. The location (Indian Ocean) doesn't really make sense for the Soviets (or really any other likely adversary I can think of, unless maybe an east African country). And yes, MiGs are Soviet planes, but just like the US did (and still does) with their fighter jets the Soviets sold them to pretty much anyone they considered a friendly country.
It was supposed to be Iran but deliberately not stated to make the movie timeless; it’s even clearer that Iran is the enemy in the sequel.
The *sequel* is even better! 😎
Too right. In 1987 the navy saw a significant increase in enlistments due to this movie.
I can imagine haha
25:05 The story of Pete’s father’s death. He was a fighter pilot, in the middle of a huge dogfight. He saved 3 other planes before he was shot down by enemy planes. The Government could’t tell the truth about the incident because the entire fighter plane battle was “illegal”.
The second movie isn't a new version. it's a sequel. 35 years later.
The incident that led to Goose's death is called a flat spin, which means there is no airflow over the wings, so you don't have any lift and there is no airflow over the control surfaces, so you can't maneuver the plane. Because they lost both engines, they couldn't try to create any airflow over the control surfaces by gunning the engines. IOW, the plane was a rock.
Fighter pilots are incredibly arrogant. I worked at a pilot training base for 22 years. There were accidents. We lost one student pilot on his first solo ;-(
All of them need high levels on confidence, but not all of them are blatantly arrogant. My uncle was an F-4 pilot (Navy) during Vietnam, and was one of the original instructors at "Top Gun" school. He was a humble man.
Like any stereotype the ones who fit stand out in our memory much more than those who don't.
Now that you have seen this, you can watch the parody of this movie called Hot Shots! It is done by the same director that directed Airplane, so I think you would enjoy the humor in it.
0:29 Yep. I rarely hear people say it, but to me this film has one of the most repetitive -- and therefore most obnoxious -- soundtracks ever. If it's not taking your breath away, you're in the Danger Zone. 🤦♂
I hope you will watch Top Gun Maverick it is even better. Enjoyed your reaction.
So back in the 80's and early 90's when big home stereos and surround sound systems became normal in homes across the U.S. This movie was usually what people would put on showcase the system. The sounds of the jets and the rockin' tunes always put smiles on everyones faces.
The first time a movie ever made me cry as a kid when Goose dies...I even went as Maverick for Halloween. Lets see if she notices Andy Dufresne before he went to Shawshank. 👀
I did notice him 😄 I wish he'd had more screen time tho
Omg you did!
@@amandamiquilena How about "Theo," the Hacker from Die Hard.......
Great reaction, can't wait for the sequel, Top Gun Maverick! Remember the Penny! And Val Kilmer, Iceman, is or was dealing with throat cancer in real life!
@amandamiquilena I wouldn't reject you. I think you're amazing
25:30, Viper did tell how Maverick’s father died. He was fighting to his last and saved 3 other pilots before he died. Maverick can now hold his head high knowing his dad did it right.
Im a Navy brat, meaning when I was born my father was in the Navy. In fact I was born on a Marine Corp Air Base. The Navy and Marines are related. We lived on Kaneohe Marine Corp Air Base in Hawaii when this movie came out. Of course all my friends from school out in town wanted to come over to the base and watch the jets fly around. Also, the base had a really good beach for surfing. My dad was home every night , except once in while he would go "on float" (out to sea) for 6 months with West-Pac Fleet. But I had some friends who's dads were Navy Seals and they had no idea where their dad was. The military doesnt tell the families that their husband/father is jumping from a perfectly good plane tonight over Somalia to rescue hostages from pirates. We never know about that stuff. Check out a video called Seal Team Six Rescue Jessica Buchanan.
The sequel is better than this one. Great reaction. Thank you. 😊
It's A Cold War movie so it's the US vs the Soviets or Soviet client states. The fight is based off the US vs Libya. US were patrolling the area & they engaged the American planes & paid the consequences
Cold War era movie MIGS are planes that were produced by the Soviet Union & the Soviet block & exported to their allies in places like Libya & Iraq Etc
02:58
This decade was still a period of Cold War. The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies, the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc, that started in 1947 after the end of World War II and lasted to 1991.
21:42
During a flat spin there is no forward airflow over the fuselage so canopy would remain in the vicinity of the airframe.
the 80's was our best decade xD. , some of us still in touch across the time x)
Top Gun: Marick is an excellent movie, even better than the original in my opinion. You should watch it. It would make an excellent review.
Interesting *Top Gun* fact *Maverick/Tom Cruise* love interest in this movie *Charlie/Kelly McGillis* is a lesbian in real life
You have to watch the sequel!!
Why didn't Goose listen to Maverick's advice and watch the canopy?
lol the other side is the USSR , they were the only ones flying the M-28s at the time , this is a cold war type movie made in the 1980s lol
I always enjoy your "Hi,,,,,,it's me" greeting.
Great reaction to a very good movie, and the sequel is even better.
As I remember, the romance wasn't an original part of the movie, but they thought that it would test better with women if they included a love story, so it got added in. I loved the flying parts of the movie but the romance felt tacked on so I was unimpressed with it. It's a good movie, and a good story, but it wasn't anything I was overly impressed with at the time. The sequel, however, is much much better.
Val Kilmer created a lot of the Iceman character. I liked that, while Ice was the better technical pilot, he was predictable since he was very rule conscious. Val played him as being kinda socially awkward, which is why he got tagged with the Iceman name since he was fairly standoffish to most people. It really showed when, after Goose's death, it looked like Ice was really struggling to find words to reassure Maverick with because he just wasn't very good at expressing himself. It would have been easy to make Ice just a jerk, but Kilmer made him sympathetic and likeable in spite of his difficulties communicating.
What would YOUR callsign be?
Well I thought that moon looked pretty cool once we could see it... Where'd you get it?
Google "glowing moon orb" on the shopping tab and you'll find all sorts of options.
Charlie's friend Perry is in fact the technical advisor (pilot) for the film crew making his requisite cameo.
I believe he was the inspiration for “Viper”.
I expected the moon to appear again at the end when you stopped talking LOL
There is no specific geopolitical scenario that this movie would relate to, however very close in time to this movie was the Gulf of Sidra incident which saw Libya attempt to extend its exclusive zone of control over the entire Gulf of Sidra, which was not recognized by international law. The U.S. Navy has a a doctrine that requires it to challenge any attempt by any country to extend its control over oceans that are in contravention of what are generally considered to be freedom of the open sea, which considers only the seas which within 12 nautical miles of the coast of any country.
Hi Amanda, it's great you've seen this 80's classic :) it's awesome. Plane movies are the best! I highly recommend aerial warfare movies like Memphis Belle and Red Tails for you to react to. Aerial action is do exciting and entertaining. I like your channel and I'm subscribed :)
I agree
Hey, thanks for subscribing and thanks for the recommendations. I'll add them to my list :)
Wow! I did not expect you to moon us! Jaja! 😉 I loved the commentary as usual. You had me laughing out loud several times. Especially the USA war question at the beginning, it was hilarious! And the puberty joke was a great one too! Keep up the great work!
By the way, in case no one else has said it yet, now you need to watch Hotshots while this is still fresh in your memory.
Great reaction just wish a couple scenes were included to tie the story together where they get radar lock on after he abandons his wingman to go after viper & when Hollywood gets shot down at the beginning of the ending fight
Recognize anyone from Back to the Future?
I don't like this movie. It is a lot of men in their underwear discussing their feelings, oiled up undressed men in locker rooms discussing their feelings, and oiled up men in short shorts playing volley ball in slow motion. Really feels like a bait and switch chick flick and I find it unbearable.
To make matters worse the aircraft magically morph from one model to another, in one location before teleporting to another, based on what stock footage was available... because all of the aircraft footage is stock footage. The actors have to tell the audience exactly what is happening and why for the footage to make any sense, and so it isn't even partially a decent air combat movie. It's just a chick flick.
Im not sure about the Navy but in the Army our sideburns weren't allowed to go below the bottom opening of our ear according by regulation.
Makes sense. Almost no one has wanted to go farther than that since the 1970s anyway.
Stupid rules
70's had big side burns with long hair. 80's was mullets with big side burns. Sooooo bad take.
Agree,didnt need the love story
Thanks for mooning us 😂
Now you should watch Top Gun Maverick.
Hightly recommended.
This movie sure does exist
8:49 Tom Cruise (Risky Business The Outsiders 1983) & Tom Skerrit (Alien 1979)
8:43 Rick Rossovich, Terminator 1984 & Val Kilmer, Top Secret! 1983
FWIW, the “enemy” was the USSR. MIGs were their planes. When the movie was released, the “Cold War” had been running for decades, USSR was getting poorer, the USA economy was booming and they were feeling a little bit Pete Maverick Mitchell. This movie captured the popular spirit of the age.
Sounds like a time of optimism.
MIGs were also flown by countries that were allies of the USSR. So the planes Maverick and Iceman shot down may not necessarily by flown by Soviet pilots.
The Mig was a Soviet Air Craft. We called it The Fox Bat. The Mig, Enemy Air Craft were most likely Soviet although they were also marketed to Iran and Poland and East Germany.
Dating/marriage is allowed in the military if the enlisted are of equal rank, one is a govt. contractor, etc. (like Charlie in this movie), or they are married prior to enlisting. Some of this applies to officers only. (Just keeping it simple. There may be other guidelines).
Yes, Top Gun: Maverick is a very good movie. It's a great watch.
I think she was referring more to the student/teacher dynamic.
@@bigdream_dreambig Could be, but adult teacher/student relationships have been common in movies at least since the 60s. Less common before that. That metric doesn't ring alarm bells for me on that front. Their age difference seems more relevant, at least a little.
I'm from 1986, and the funny thing is that I did not knew it. A friend told me to watch it in 1999 or 2000. But I already knew how to fly a Cat', anything... The guy had a good feel, like : You'gonna love this... And it was awesome... Next was Maverick. And same thing. Even better.
Yes, it’s one of the movies of all time. Did you mean to say it’s one of the movies of all time? I think you forgot a word.
I was 15 when this came out. I never was interested. Then finally tried watching few months ago to see what missed & was worse than I thought! I was around for Cruise in his 1st starring role in Classic "Risky Business" & was never a big fan of Val Kilmer. But when saw Kelly McGillis(?) who acted & looked like a mid-30s sophisticated intelligent mature Lady to Tom Cruise's 17 yro looking kid who's still never gotten over his 1st boner knowing their affair was supposed to be core of movie I just couldn't! It's supposed to be legendary but I saw ZERO CHEMISTRY & NEARLY CRINGED ME TO DEATH!!!😅 I mean, maybe her booty-call but nothing more in real life!
No Thanks!😅
See ya!
✌️🌎❤️
"It's Me", and then she moon's us. :o I see what your doing there... Trying to get a 'Reaction' out of us... ;) Which reminds me, that two years later we'd get "The Naked Gun", which would lead to "Hot Shots!" And everything would go "Maverick" after that. ;)

I've always loved Maverick's bullshit about, "We were only below 10,000 for a few seconds." Well the problem is the limit for the exercise was 10,000 ft. That means that line was ground-level in theory. So he flew into the ground for a few seconds, it's fine there's no risk! It's pure nonsense. XD

@03:00 No one really. The 80's are the age of President Ronald Regan. The Vietnam war was over, and the first Iraq war wouldn't be until the 90's. Instead we mostly got regime changes and proxy conflicts. The US got dragged into a multilateral mission against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Then there was the arming of contras in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Afghanistan. When this movie came out was the same year they invaded Grenada to arrest their government. They also bombed Gadafi's Libya and influenced a civil war in Chad (arguably to help keep the Libya from normalizing relations with their neighbor). They sunk a bunch of Iranian ships on purpose, and one Iranian airliner by accident. Then they invaded Panama for another regime change... and that more or less brings us to the 90's.
so, you watched Top Gun...if interested, there was a comedy, kind of parody of this movie. Now that you watched the original, you'll understand the references in the parody--if interested, try Hot shots. Have a nice day.
Top Gun: Maverick? Yes, it was good. Definitely a refreshing breeze from the past during an era of woke-cinema.
During this time in the 80s....actually from the late 40s thru the early 90s ... We were in what was called "the cold war". A lot of tension between the USSR and the 🇺🇸. There has been quite a few times that tension have ran high between socialist countries and 🇺🇸.
Oh my gyawwwwd! You’re so beautiful in the first few seconds of the video (and also the whole thing). Your voice is like ASMR but not trying to be
jesus christ... so happy you did this one.. great reaction.. i'm subscribed
The two combat scenes in Top Gun were loosely based on a pair of incidents between the US Navy and Libyan Air Force over a body of water called the Gulf of Sidra. Libya claimed it as a territorial bay, but the US (and rest of the world) considered it international waters. Several Libyan jets were shot down. This all took place in the 1980s, both prior to and after Top Gun was made.
Legal Eagle made a video going over this film and said in real life, Maverick a) would not have a callsign as awesome as "Maverick" (callsigns are usually based on some embarrassing story from bootcamp and are unique to navy aviators) and b) would have so many charges of conduct unbecoming an officer or gentleman, reckless operation of aircraft, reckless endangerment of personnel, etc... that he would either be dishonorably discharged from the US Military or imprisoned.
Supposed to be the Soviet Union. Cold War was still in full swing when it was released. Goose goes on to be a doc in the TV series ER. Nice Shawshank catch.
7:38 Maverick’s superior Stinger is correct he did something very brave in disobeying orders. That is the only reason why Stinger isnt’ getting Maverick drummed out of the Navy. He risked his life to save another flight crew. That is the only thing that saved him despite his considerable talents.
That fighter plane is the property of the US Navy and therefore the people of the United States. At the time of this film that F-14 was about $30 million per plane.
Whoaaaa sup chica, haven't seen you since TLOUS reactions!! Lets gooooo 👊🏻🥰
I love the effort you made in dressing up so nice for us! You really know what we like! 😂 I’m kidding of course, entertaining reaction as usual! I love the music too. When the film came out I got my mom the buy me the soundtrack, I had the actual record, which was cool because the album jacket is so large compared to a cd case, that you can actually read and see everything easily. Anyway, loved your reaction.
I'm surprised you didn't noticed Principal Strickland from Back to the Future who'd played the instructor in this movie. Now you are ready to see the sequel that was released 35 years later. The highly anticipated sequel received many positive reviews and most say the sequel is better than this one.
Great reaction. It has to be hard not understanding the military lingo they are using. I would suggest looking up the stuff you didn't know and re-watching. It makes it better. Also i think you are underestimating what she meant to Maverick. Her confronting Maverick after Gooses death, who is Mavericks only family left in the world, helped push him to to reconsider giving up. Gooses wife said it best. Maverick is in love with her. If he didn't love her he doesn't listen to her and leaves the school. His grief over losing the last person on this earth, Goose, would be to much. But luckily Maverick falls in love with that girl. So it was an essential part of the story. It is part of his character growth that you liked so much.
I don't know if someone else has already suggested that you watch Top Gun: Maverick. It is better than the original and I think most people would agree with that.
The new movie top gun Maverick is awesome. You have to check it out and I heard they’re making a third one that will probably be the final one though. We’ll see take care. Have a nice evening.❤
If you shut up and watched the movie you wouldn’t need to ask questions the whole movie!😅
You'll have to bring back your moon ornament when you watch Apollo 13! :)
Now you should watch and react to “Top Gun Maverick “ which is Top Gun 2
How can you think this is a “weird script?” It’s a classic 80’s action love story it doesn’t get any more classic than this. One of my least favorite reactions I’ve ever seen
You Must check out the sequel I had to wait almost 40 yrs for . it’s Incredible 🌠
Well, you'll love Top Gun: Maverick. You must react to that one :)
Stop talking so much! So much u missed because you keep cutting and talking geez
Don't stab her, Mom! I subscribed! I subscribed!
now you should watch TopGun Maverick
What is that glowing orb??? I though this was Top Gun??? Why?? Wait....can you hold it up for just a few seconds more? Edit- Amanda, I'm with you- the romance angle cringed me a little in '86. Neither Top Gun is a romance, but, to be fair, the producers were probably right to make sure ot had elements that would appeal to the widest audience.
You're the first reactor I've seen, who recognized Tim Robbins.
Your reaction would be better if you didn't try so hard to be funny or talk over the dialog. You missed a lot of good and/or important information, and we missed out on your reactions to those same lines ... they DO affect and are a big part of the story.
16 minutes... yes... the sequel is even better... if you get the first one, it's better better... 🤣
