I was a young 49 year old then when I went to see this in London. Loved the film. I had great health, a beautiful wife and 2 children. I had a well paid job. I’m now 84, my wife has passed, children grown up and got their own lives and I’m an old man now, living alone. I have my friends on the internet. My children remain in good contact. One minute you’re young the next you’re old. Happy lives to you all.
Gallitron that is an wonderful story of life. Thanks for sharing it. Some might just gloss over it but not me, sir. I admire and love people sharing where they were at what point in their life. I remember being 11 years old when Top Gun first came out. I saw it in England too. I was not married ;) I had no kids. I had no job. I am now 47, married for 25 years, I have children that are in early twenties and are beginning their lives. I feel like an old man ;) I also live in another country. Life goes by in the blink of an eye. We have to make the most of it. Sending positive vibes your way sir.
My mom saw the original Top Gun when she was 18 years old. Now 36 years later, I got to see the sequel as an 18 year old. It's crazy how time flies by.
Top Gun INCREASES US NATIONALISM!! Wonderful! Something the USA has been lacking for a very long time, all thanks to the evil democrats. Now with this movie is release, Nationalism will increase, like the way it should be! All other nations has A LOT of Nationalism, except the USA. Nationalism will help this country.
I saw the original so many times in the first week, I practically lived at the cinema. That Volleyball scene was a masterpiece and well worth the admission price.
I think now Top Gun Maverick may be one of the best sequels ever made. So fun, touching, amazing, entertaining, engaging, respectful and not long or boring. Excellent pacing, acting, special effects, story, performances and phenomenal opening & ending. Also great song by Lady Gaga. In some ways Top Gun was cheesy, stupid but fun, Top Gun maverick is amazing, I recommend to watch it now in teathers before another marvel or shitty cgi movie
It's common talk in film circles that the best sequels of all time are: The Godfather Part II, The Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Terminator 2, and The Dark Knight. It's a no brainer that Top Gun Maverick is now a part of that group.
@Lisa Surlie I’m a Sam Raimi fan, but Doctor Strange in the Multiverse was not a great movie by any means. At least, in my opinion. The editing and pacing felt extremely rushed. I felt like 20 minutes or so was missing from the film, and that actually makes sense considering Raimi said the first cut was around 2 hours 40 minutes. Michael Waldron’s screenplay is filled with clunky dialogue and very bland story beats. Doctor Strange didn’t even really have a defined arc in the film, so that’s not at all a good thing when he’s the protagonist of the film and we’re talking about a “great sequel.” American Chavez had no real development besides learning to control her powers through the simple and cliche power of “believing.” Also, her quick backstory with the bee was atrociously written and laughable. Of course, the cameos ended up just being fan service and didn’t have any real significance to the plot besides a quick action scene where literally everyone dies within a couple minutes. The only good and somewhat compelling thing about the movie was Wanda.
My hubby and I intend to see the second top gun film sometime within the next 7 days. Obviously I am excited to see this film and I am very happy that there is now a recent Entertainment Tonight feature on the first Top Gun film. It is interesting to know about some of the details relating to the feature of some of the real life navy pilots incorporated for the making of the first film and the details relating to Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer Kelly McGillis Tim Robbins, Robert Lowe, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Edwards Meg Ryan and Cher in connection to this film.
@Lisa Surlie Hi Lisa Surlie I appreciate your reply to my comment, I saw both Top Gun and Top Gun 2 and both Dr Strange films and both are good movie series in their own right. However comparing the Top Gun series films and Dr. Strange series films is comparing apples to oranges because Top Gun deals with military themes while Dr Strange deals with the Marvel universe. Additionally there is zero denying that much meaningful plot development and acting was placed in Top Gun 2 from the continuation of the first Top Gun film. I personally thought that the first Top Gun was enjoyable to watch and I feel that Top Gun 2 was even better than the first Top Gun film in a movie masterpiece type of way and I intend to eventually purchase the second Top Gun 2 film and music soundtrack. However I also feel that there is room to respectfully agree to disagree when it comes to the comparison of the Top Gun 2 masterpiece of a film with other popular film series.
@Lisa Surlie I do appreciate you being civil in your replies and taking the time to respond to my comment, However please know that I do feel that both Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Cruise are both talented actors and it is possible to have enjoyed watching both the Dr Strange 2 and Top Gun 2 films without having to choose between the two
@Lisa Surlie Your courage and boldness on this Top Gun centric youtube page is amusing to see. However you are communicating with someone who enjoyed both Top Gun 2 and Dr Strange 2 and i intend to eventually purchase both when they are released to the general public for digital viewing andor maybe even dvd. However you are entitled to your movie preference and I still appreciate you taking the time to weigh in on how you felt about Top Gun 2 even with I feeling that Top Gun 2 is more exciting than I originally expected it to be.
Your bold and daring spirit is definitely ingrained on me though please know before i head to get to some rest soon it was far from my intent to unleash the dragon within you and it is fine if you feel differently feel more passionate about having enjoyed Dr Strange 2 compared to Top Gun 2 film even with the fact that I greatly enjoyed watching Top Gun 2 and felt I got my moneys worth in going to the theater to see Top Gun 2.
He started getting old by the 2010s. Also I think when he got throat cancer he lost a lot of health and movie roles, now I am happy he is healed and made an excellent cameo in Top Gun 2. Amazing sequel and actually I cried a lot. I wish the best for him he was one of the biggest actors in the 80s and 90s, excellent performances and legendary movies. Tombstone, Top secret, The Saint, Spartan, Kiss Kiss bang bang, Batman Forever, Ghost in the darkness, Thunderheart, The doors, The real Mccoy, Macgruber & Heat. I think if he didnt get cancer, now he could have been big as Tom cruise
His career didn’t take off nearly as fast as Jim Carrey’s career though. He had 3 movies in the same year all # 1 at the box office. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, Dumb And Dumber all came out in 1994
@@nsasupporter7557 Lol Jim Carrey's career is nothing compared to Tom Cruise's. Jim Carrey was 30 when Ace Ventura came out. Tom Cruise was 24 when Top Gun made him a global icon. And he was already famous at 20 when Risky Business came out.
@@vladimirhorowitz uh… I hate to bust your bubble, but Jim Carrey is an A lister just like Tom Cruise. They’re on the same level of status. And ontop of that, Carrey’s career took off way faster than Cruise’s career and any other movie star’s career also. Ace Ventura, the Mask and Dumb and Dumber all came out in 1994 and were all number 1 at the box office. Tom Cruise’s career didn’t start of nearly as fast. Age doesn’t make 1 bit of difference! Neither does when their careers started.
I was 20 years old and I ran the Norelco Phillips Movie Projectors at the Grand Theater in Cornelia, GA. A fairly big NE GA town. My Sister Co Owned the Movie Theater with her then Husband Steve. We showed it in 70mm. I had the wrong lens on which was CinemaScope instead of the small 70 mm lense. I was inexperienced but I got much better. The tech had to fly from Miami to help me out the next day. Great movie and the soundtrack is one of the best movie soundtracks ever.
@Lisa Surlie However negative your review of Top Gun is that’s a funny aspect of it. I didn’t think just anyone would like Top Gun like just anyone would like a movie Platoon.
@Lisa Surlie Yeah it was his best role and in place of Oliver Stone. That’s how Ollie viewed his experience in the Vietnam war. The counterpart that year was Full Metal Jacket which is a great movie as well. Mathew Modine did a very good job as Joker. Epic Stanley Kubrick film.
In a different kinda way ,top gun is like Enter the dragon ..It had all the ingredients,,the right cast,good storyline,great soundtrack ,action fun,drama,sadness ...All in all a very almost timeless movie.People have and still are watching these 2aforementioned films .Both still very relevant..Amazing
Hollywood doesn't take those kind of risks with unknowns anymore. But there's plenty of talent out there. This might sound weird, but I see so many kids who have acting potential on tiktok of all places.
The unique thing about Tom is he's a link between the old Hollywood acting alongside greats like Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman and Jack Nicholson, Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall and all the gen z actors.
Thank you for your infinite love and support you have consistently shown me in such difficult moments. I'm forever grateful. I really appreciate your unconditional love to me and every effort exerted by you to cause a change...Where are you watching from?
Tom Cruise , Rob Lowe , Charlie Sheen , and Robert Downey Jr were NOT the Front Runners for Maverick in Top Gun .They were NOT offered this role first . The Reason why is these Actors were all under 5" 10 in height actually which was a problem for the Lead Role . Mathew Modine was offered this role first in 1985 because he had that All American Look , Blue Eyes , Basketball Athletic Build , Blonde Hair , Chip on his shoulder Attitude , Over 6 foot tall , and really looked like a Navy Pilot . Modine had been in some critically acclaimed roles around that time as well . He turned Top Gun down citing he was against Military Propaganda movies . So ironically he basically made Full Metal Jacket instead in 1986 , which was a Military Propaganda movie . I personally wish Sharon Stone had been cast for Charlie in first Top Gun . Tom and Sharon would have had major chemistry . Tom and Kelly didn't have that much chemistry really .

Val's amazing yet His best Role in my Opinion was in ' HEAT" .. that Cast, Michael Mann ( Collateral ), The Score, The famous Shootout scene. Val Provided a lot of tension and was a Major Badass! Definitely in my Top Ten !
It was great. I just saw it a second time, but it lacks that magic of the original. I guess it's mainly nostalgia, but the plot was pretty weak in Maverick. Some of the dialogue was cringe. The cheesy stuff played much better in the 80's. Incredible flying scenes in Maverick though.
@@vladimirhorowitz i absolutely agree.. maverick is a good film but it really lacks the magic of the original.. theres just something about the original you just cant duplicate it.. maverick is good but its not as good as the hype for me anyway

Thank you for your infinite love and support you have consistently shown me in such difficult moments. I'm forever grateful. I really appreciate your unconditional love to me and every effort exerted by you to cause a change...Where are you watching from?
Charlie Sheen got his chance in Hot Shots!
Lol Cruise never rode a motorcycle in 1986, 2022 he's jumping them off mountains
dang cher!!
GO SEE TOP GUN MAVERICK NOW..... It's a masterpiece
Revenge of The Nerds should've been a prequel to Top Gun....I know the storyline isn't an exact fit, but what if?
I never really understood: Did Tom Cruise really fly the F-14 in Top Gun (1986)?
He was up in the air
Popular opinion says TG > TG2?
Me think so 🙇♂️
Wait!!! If TG2 is 36 years later, why Tom Cruise still looks the same?
He looks fine, but not the same.
2:24 Um what?
Val is very beautiful.
Top Gun was the biggest movie of 1986 and not Transformers The Movie?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Had never ridden a motorcycle???
And they put him on a 900ninja?
Who's here after Top Gun Maverick?
She's lost that loving feeling ...
Only reason I ever saw the first movie, was because I loved Val Kilmer. Not a Cruise fan.
Val's amazing yet His best Role in my Opinion was in ' HEAT" .. that Cast, Michael Mann ( Collateral ), The Score, The famous Shootout scene. Val Provided a lot of tension and was a Major Badass! Definitely in my Top Ten !
Man looks about 12 here.... hes aged well
John Travolta
I'm sorry, but I don't think TG2 will compare to the original, I bet it will be good, but I'm a stickler for originals
Yes true
I love the original but the sequel is objectively a better film.
It was great. I just saw it a second time, but it lacks that magic of the original. I guess it's mainly nostalgia, but the plot was pretty weak in Maverick. Some of the dialogue was cringe. The cheesy stuff played much better in the 80's. Incredible flying scenes in Maverick though.
@@vladimirhorowitz i absolutely agree.. maverick is a good film but it really lacks the magic of the original.. theres just something about the original you just cant duplicate it.. maverick is good but its not as good as the hype for me anyway
When my Armenian sister really meant: ”I want all americans!”
Sneaky CHER, being ca 15 years older than these guys, and dating them both. She must have been around 40 at that time. While they where around 25.
testing
Sorry…top gun is still the better movie than it’s sequel.
correct.. not even close
@Lisa Surlie well that's your opinion 🤷♂️👍
@Lisa Surlie ummm no that's your opinion.. and you do have a constitutional right to be wrong... soooo🤷♂️
Highway to the geriatric zone I feel the need the need for a geritol.
