This movie clearly hit you guys hard, as it should. But imagine having grown up with the first one, pretending you were Maverick and Goose on the playground with your best friends, or climbing trees with your brother and pretending you were getting into jets to shoot down some MIGs.... and then finally being able to see this sequel as a 40-something. This one hits me VERY hard.
I can only imagine myy man!!!
You said it brother
That was his my Dad was but he saw the first one when it came out when he was around his 20s and he watched the new one at around 60 with the level of excitement as a 10 year old in a room full of puppies
I couldn' have put it any better. Being born 1980, growing up with the first one, seen it hundrets of times. When I saw Top Gun: Maverick in theaters I had cramps in my cheeks from grinning ear to ear and swollen eyes from weeping. I'm so looking forward to the award season, especially for Lady Gaga's "Hold my hand" as Best Song.
Totally!!! Us oldies who grew up watching this, man what a trip down memory lane lol
Living in Mira Mesa (about 5 minutes from Miramar) back in the day was so fun lol my friends & I were the obnoxious middle school girls in the theaters giggling at how cute the guys were in the original top gun lol
Top Gun: Maverick is the perfect culmination of what we (or the general public) loves about Hollywood. It’s a perfect popcorn movie, the like we didn’t see for a while now. It’s more than just 80s nostalgia, it’s a throwback to why people went to the movies in the past.
I don't get the "like we didn't see for a while now" comment. Most movie releases today are nothing but popcorn movies. Disney have made a fortune churning out popcorn movies for the last decade. It's the less porcorny stuff that's harder to find in a cinema now.
Where this film is a throwback is that it's the kind of unashamedly pro-US military film that the 80s pumped out regularly due to the US Government policy of the time of providing access to their military hardware to filmmakers whose films made them look good.
stop it!, I'm gonna cry..
@@SadPeterPan1977 well, we're not talking about the military aspect. What we mean by that phrase is these days, movies are focused too much on the casting checkboxes, and the CGI, but the plot quality is subpar and the effort on the plot isn't done in parallel of other stuff. Your first focus should be THE PLOT, and when you nail it, then you can move on to the rest. Because a film is an avenue of telling a STORY. When you lose the balance, then there's no story to tell. It's just boring and not entertaining. And it's pointless. This movie's casting IS diverse, so they've ticked that, but the plot is great as well, and hence it doesn't feel "in your face" because the focus here is first and foremost the plot. It's when the focus is only on checking boxes that it's very obvious the audience isn't interested because people go to see film because they want to be entertained by a story. e.g. if I'm a Tom Cruise fan, even if he's in a movie (say, the recent The Mummy he was in), I probably will skip seeing it since the story is crap, even though he's in it. If that makes sense.
@@IsabellaN777 Now that, was a respectful and very well-spoken explanation/response! 😁👏👍
@@SadPeterPan1977 the thing is while top gun is a US airforce/navy military movie they dont push any political or social propaganda. If your gonna use disney as a reference than just look what they did to light year. They specifically changed the movie script for 1 character. It completely changed the dynamic of the interaction between buzz and the character in question. Then there is marvels she hulk. They ruined she hulk making her promote feminism with her cat call conversation to the hulk. The hulk is probably the 1 person who should understand the pain of being targeted. People tend to think the hulk was created during the gamma explosion. However, hulk was a split personality banner formed as a kid after being abused by his father. It was only able to take control and get the super power aspects after the gamma explosion. Not to mention bruce has been on the run since becoming the incredible hulk and become a victim of being the "bad guy," among every situation he is around. She hulk was a female impowering comic without the feminist mind set we see now and disneys marvel ruined that now.
According to former Top Gun instructor Dave Burke, who was an advisor to this movie, the majority of the flight scenes are practical and were flown by current Top Gun pilots. The pilot who was flying as Maverick, was Blue Angel pilot Frank "Walley" Eisser, who is the best low altitude pilot in the world.
I got to see a Blue Angels air show as a 7 year old with my grandparents, and a pilot stopped to sign my little pink baseball cap that day. I'll never forget it. It was an incredible spectacle, and experience I'll keep forever. 💙💛
Well for tower flyby in first ONE they were drawing straws, everyone was so greedy for that once-in-a-lifetime chance to do it.
The only better one was the actual flyby over the apron of the civil airport by the SR-71.
Walley was flying for all of the extremely low scenes. There was actually another Navy pilot that flew as Maverick, for other scenes.
I mean the whole dogfight was cvi obviously but still really impressive
@@wrswrftp Even the dogfight is almost completely realistic. E.g. the maneuver where Su-57 grazes the rocket is called "Frolov's chakra" and considered a trademark of Sukhoi family fighters (although has been performed once by an F-22 and once by a J-20). The idea to "go low to confuse his targeting" is on point because '57 just spent both his heat-seeking R27/AA10 rockets and is left only with radar-homing R73/AA11, and low-altitude interference (especially in complex terrain like the canyon) actually does mess up radar signals. F-14 can withstand more gunshots than Su-57 due to the former's hull is made with steel/aluminium while the latter's is with plastic composites (much better for weight and stealth but much worse against direct weapon penetration). And the final Hangman's arrival is the classic example of an over-eager pilot (third '57) sleeping on a wildcard in the dogfight.
Went to the theaters, never saw that many Dads crying in my life lol it was amazing, I’m happy Cruise waited to have the right script.
Hahaha Top Gun is The only movie that makes us cry
@@dwmy3825 that's right bro!
Penny was mentioned in the original. She’s Penny Benjamin, the Admiral’s daughter whom Maverick made a high speed pass at.
Yes, Meg Ryan mentions Penny in the piano scene when she is talking to Charlie.
And at that time, Jennifer Connolly was making Labyrinth at age 15. Don't think about that too much.
@@priscilabee583 His Captain on the aircraft carrier when he busts his balls for disobeying orders says, "and one Admiral's daughter" > Then Goose leans over and whispers, "Penny Benjamin?"
I love that they made a fleshed out character out of a couple of references from the first movie!
@Randy White That's how old she was, to Tom Cruise's 23.
I burst into tears in the cinema a couple of times and smiled like a looney tooney the rest of the movie, it was just such a good movie!
Watched it in cinema, it's rare these days to walk out feeling like you want to go back in and watch it again.
I really adored how they brought back Val Kilmer as Iceman, and brilliantly incorporated his real life condition into the plot. His single scene with Maverick was one of the most touching and emotional in the entire movie.♥️
Right!!! I loved it!
True. You know that was his son doing a voiceover? Nailed it. I had no idea.
@@st0n3p0ny I thought it was a digital recreation of his voice
@@accordgolfer apparently his son does a spot on impression.
That scene made me cry.
Objectively, this and Catching Fire are my favorite sequels of all time.
This was great in theaters. The cinematography stood out as well as the soundtrack.
I liked Val Kilmer’s appearance. They respected him and his character and his condition without mocking it.
I loved the stunts more in this one because you can see whom is whom and they made them more realistic by the audience hearing the characters struggle to breathe due to increase or decrease of altitude.
The homage to goose was well done and do agree Miles Teller did phenomenal as his son.
What made this movie even better was they focused on what made the original great, but made corrections to what the audience did not like.
Totally!
I took my daughter to see this in the theater. As soon as the first song started, I got goosebumps (no pun intended). I told her, and she said "Really?" I nodded. People who weren't around when the first film came out can't really understand how nostalgic and good this movie was.
That song gave me chills when I first saw the original film. I know what you mean.
I cried when goose died! I saw him hit the hatch, - I knew he was dead!
Having been named Maveric after the original movie. This was the biggest wait of my life. I was hoping so badly that it would be good. Was completely thrilled at how amazing it was and how well it’s doing in theatre.
Also Penny wasn’t in the first one, but she’s mentioned twice. She’s the admirals daughter that he got in trouble for
Did your parents not like you? (Just quoting the original)
@@clarkbarrett6274 hahahhahhaha no he is a naval aviator
TOP GUN MAVERICK has hit the THEATERS again in some countries in the south hemisphere
Seen this film 15x. I'm from the generation who watched the OG as a child. This film is already a beloved classic. One of the 20 best movies ever made.
I wanna watch it again!!
5 times gong for more Top Gun MAVERICK
Penny’s a deep cut from a SINGLE line in the first movie.
Admiral: “And one Admiral’s daughter!”
Goose: “Penny Benjamin?”
But yeah this movie is great and the cast is all amazing and Miles Teller has an uncanny resemblance to Goose’s actor that actually kind of unnerves me-
Mav: We’ll, there was that one time…”
Carole: Penny Benjamin!
Mav: What?
Carole: Goose told me all about that time you went ballistic with Penny Benjamin. He tells me about all of them!
The Top Gun school moved to Naval Air Station Fallon, NV in 1996 ten years after Top Gun came out. Penny Bengamin is named as the "one Admiral's daughter" in the original movie by his Captain aboard the aircraft carrier while getting his balls busted for disobeying orders and saving "Cougar & Merlin". Goose leans over and whispers, "Penny Benjamin?"
They don't see something in him. They know, he is a rogue, renegade, flying comes natural for him. He was the best pilot ever but due to other circumstances Iceman won the trophy. Ice knows who the best pilot is he ever saw. It was Maverick. Iceman makes Admiral because he was by the book only - never ruffled feathers - career ladder climber.
*The sailboat scene they couldn't shoot it in San Diego because the weather was too nice. They had to sail the boat up to San Fransico to get the wind and waves for the scene.
* The end flight is actually Tom Cruise's own P-51 Mustang.
That’s really cool!!!
26:50 people forget how great of an actor Tom Cruise really is. The scene was emotional, short and perfect knowing Val Kilmer's real life complications with throat cancer. Love that scene so much.
FYI, that P51 at the end actually belongs to Tom Cruise. He's a rated pilot. For obvious reason, the Navy wouldn't let them actually fly a F18, but the inside shots were all the actors in the back seat of the fighters.
Civilians are not permitted to fly military aircraft. But you know if he was allowed to, Cruise would’ve been flying the F-18 😂 he learned to fly a helicopter for Mission Impossible: Fallout.
The only problem with filming all the cast in the backseat - for the two-seaters, the perspective is the same for the pilot and the WSO, and you can see that in the position of the wings in the shot behind them, when really it should look like one is in the front and one in the back. That’s the only downside though.
@@CoffeeMatt10 The Navy told him that the ONLY way he'd fly an F18 on his own would be to join the Navy, go through their Officer Candidacy School (OCS), and successfully complete Flight School with grades good enough to be assigned the F18.
We walked out of the theater absolutely GOB SMACKED. My partner works on F-18's as a navy mechanic. (He's one of the green-shirts on the flight deck). He did two deployments so far on an aircraft carrier (what they landed on.) His insight and experience working on and maintaining fighter planes made this movie all the more special for us. So glad you both liked it as much as we did!!
He's currently stationed in WA state and they shot some footage out here on Whidbey Island Naval Base and held a small premier of the trailer with production crew for families out here at the movie theater on base. This was way back before COVID.
That’s so cool!!!
@@whitenoisereacts ☺️!
They had the courage to have a happy ending with no-one dying during the mission. That's how you subvert expectations.
I remember when the first trailer came out, it almost looked like a scene for scene remake and I didn't have high hopes for an engaging movie. I'm glad it turned out to be it's own thing while building on the original. It really deserves the success it is having at the box office.
I truly appreciate how you're reacting to this film. My mom served in the US Navy in the 80s (same time as the original Top Gun film) and my dad in the RNZAF so these movies are special to me. I love that you love them too ☺️
Well thank your parents for their service!!! That’s awesome.
@@whitenoisereacts haha everyday!
Instant timeless classic, this movie.
With Hollywood how it currently is, I’m hard pressed to find anything I didn’t like about this movie 🤷🏼♂️
Good reaction
I love all the emotional reactions to the scene with Iceman followed immediately by the excited reactions to shirtless beach sports
Their final mission was basically the Death Star trench. That being said - one of the most entertaining films of the year. Great vid lads!
Which itself takes inspiration from Dambusters.
ruclips.net/video/QN6qBDQMEq8/видео.html
My favorite part was where Luke and Wedge got shot down but they managed to steal an ARC-170 from the death star hanger bay
This movie had no right being such a great sequel. I never really held the first movie in high esteem but after this it’s made me appreciate the characters and movies a whole lot more. Also I can’t help but love that the sequel is basically a mission impossible mission in the sky
Every time I see this movie I experience all the heart pounds and the chills, no matter how many times I see it-same with Jurassic Park. That’s how you know you got a classic movie on your hands.
I cried so bad at the part when Rooster says it's what my dad would had done and Mav's reaction to it !
4:18 The hypersonic plane at the beginning is technically not based off of anything that exists, as officially the movie got real Skunkworks engineers on to design "a plausible hypersonic jet". In reality most people know of this projects actual existence as the SR72 "The son of the Black Bird". It is meant to be the next generational step from the SR71 that was the super sonic spy plane into the Hypersonic speeds. Now the government has denied the existence of this project but a few 3d renderings from its original pitch before being classified are still out there on the internet, and have lead to may theories on its true design and abilities.
From what I’ve heard from friends I have in the Air Force, this is as close as the govts gonna get to showing their hand with “aurora”. Aurora is real but the public will never see it.
I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I expected to, and seeing it in theaters was really something else. Especially that first scene with the jet takeoff dislocating the roof from that building, the ENTIRE room shook. And that entire last act with them completing the mission, my heart was in my throat the whole time and I caught myself holding my breath countless times. I really thought someone was gonna die, and I'm glad my expectations were subverted ("Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once, everybody lives!")
Also as soon as I saw Bob on screen I immediately thought "that's my guy" lol
Agreed!!! We love Bob!!
The actor is Lewis Pullman, son of actor Bill Pullman.
So this movie hit on a different level for me. My brother is a WSO (like Bob) in real life. He just earned one of the very few spots to go from WSO to Pilot in an F-18 and this movie was so awesome to see. I honestly cried at moments being so proud and realizing that this is what my brother does. These jets are so incredible to see up close and when I got to be there for touch-and-go's (aircraft carrier landing practice) it was an amazing time. Great reaction to a great movie.
Here is the answer to the one-seater / two-seater question early on:
The F/A-18A and C are single seat aircraft, while the F/A-18B and D are two seaters. The B model is primarily used for training, while the F/A-18A+ and C/D models are used for attack, tactical air control, and forward air control and reconnaissance missions.
Ohhhh ok!!! Cool!!
I have to correct you slightly. You’re referring to the “Legacy” Hornets.
The ones used in the movie are the E and F Super Hornets, made after Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas in the mid 90s. They basically upgraded the A/B/C/D platforms, made them bigger with more fuel storage, better range, upgraded radar, and an extra weapon station under each wing - the “Legacy” Hornets could carry up to 10 air-to-air missiles, the Supers with the extra stations can carry up to 12. They’ve done similar with the F-15 (the Strike Eagle supposedly can carry something stupid like 24 air-to-air missiles!).
Hangman’s Hornet at the end is loaded with 8 air-to-air missiles (2 sidewinders on the wingtips, 4 AMRAAMs underwing and 2 AMRAAMs on the fuselage), 2 laser guided bombs, and THREE external fuel tanks… the Super Hornet has the nickname “Rhino”, Hangman’s plane lived up to that nickname.
@@CoffeeMatt10 Thanks. I was actually responding more to the reactors' comments regarding single/dual seating and the variants' capacities for that. Did that change with the advent of the Super Hornets? Or were there still single/dual seater variants.
The Navy no longer flies the A-D legacy model. And when we last did, we used primarily C/D models for both training and normal OPS. When I was instructing in Miramar, we only had two B models out of about 45 aircraft. All the rest were C/D. I later instructed on the east coast (Oceana) and we didn't have a single B, only two A+, which outside of the old Blue Angels are very rare to find. The Marines are moving away from them in favor of the F-35B/C. The Marine Harrier pilots are transitioning to the F-35B model while the Marine Hornet pilots are moving to the F-35C. You won't find a single F/A-18A-D in this movie, they are using the E/F models. Cheers.
While the "Enemy" countries are never named specifically, Soviet Union for Top Gun. Iran is a likely candidate for TG: Mav since they are the only nation still flying F-14s from the 70's.
For OG Top Gun a semi-hot conflict with Libya had been going on in the real world. The dog fight was supposed to be similar to that conflict.
The “MIG 28s” were of course built by the USSR and sold to client states. (Of course the MIG 28s were actually US F5/T38s.)
In the original, the carrier is in the Indian Ocean, so the Soviet Union is too far away to be the enemy country. Iran is the obvious candidate, though it's never named.
And the geopolitics of unsanctioned nuclear plants, via nato treaty’s works too
@@wwoods66 in the original, the director said that it was intended to be North Korea that they were fighting in the final seen
“Rogue State”.
Could be an element from combined nations that has built itself a uranium enrichment facility, and scored itself some 5th gen fighters to upgrade their fleet of surplus/obsolete aircraft.
"Bob" is actor Bill Pullman's son. Looks just like him.
You said everything needed to be said about this movie. But the thing that made me love this sequel, that you might not have considered since you saw it recently, was that it was nostalgic. I came out of the cinemas with the biggest smile and I just felt happy😇
Still got all emotional watching a reaction, love this movie.
I did't know Val had cancer!!! He's my childhood! If it hasn't been recommended yet, PLEASE watch Top Secret! It's his first movie - it's a spoof movie - and he really sings in it.
Penny is the admiral daughter we heard of in the first movie ;)
That roof breaking and lifting up was real. The flyby destroyed that whole set.
and Ed Harris actually took that pressure wave to the face - legend
@@adroX17 The legend. If I had one complaint with TG2, it's not enough Ed Harris.
@@st0n3p0ny kind of wanted him to be on the ship with Cyclone and Warlock, and have a similar acknowledgment to Maverick as Cyclone does.
You can never have too much Ed Harris. Just watched The Rock again.
this movie came out in may and its still making a million each day. It might catch black panther. Thats longevity right there🔥
Gotta say.... Goose loses a few cool points by essentially naming his kid "Brad Brad"
You watched Honest Trailers, right? 😂
@@yxeaviationphotog Yeah I chuckled when they said that too lol
I'm 47 and have waited since 1986 for this! One of if not THE best sequel I've ever seen! Our local cinema showed both movies back to back on Friday night, it was great fun 😃
I purchased this movie yesterday. Today I was watching it for the fourth time, but paused it to watch your reaction. Thank you for sharing!
In the theater...that movie was amazing, one of the rare time Imax might be needed to appreciate it to the fullest ! You really feel they use real jets with the angle of the camera...top 5 movie this year !!
I saw it 6 times in theatre… but only the 6th time was in IMAX - having seen it 5 times already and still be completely blown away from seeing it how it was MEANT to be seen, that says it all.
The WW2 plane that Maverick works on and flies is Tom Cruise’s own P51 Mustang.
Loved this movie, saw it in IMAX. Still get really emotional and start tearing up every time I watch this movie. This movie is epic. I’m a Tom Cruise fan. Just love TC. Will surely buy the video once it’s available. Thanks for the review. ❤️❤️❤️
That prop plane that Mav works on and flies in the end is a legend of aviation, the North American P-51 Mustang. In fact, that’s Tom Cruise’s personally owned P-51!
Other aircraft include:
Boeing F/A-18E (single) and F/A-18F (tandem) Super Hornets
Lockheed-Martin F-35C Lightning II
Northrop Grumman E-2D Hawkeye
Grumman F-14 Tomcat
Sukhoi SU-57 Felon.
Lockheed-Martin SR-72 Darkstar (Fictional)
Mil Mi-24 Hind
This is really cool!!! Thanks for putting these!!
@@whitenoisereacts
Happy to help! Btw, if you ever wanted to see a good movie where the P-51s are in their element, I'd highly recommend 2012's "Red Tails!"
Top Gun is in Nevada, it moved there from Miramar in 96. In the film Coronado/North Island is where they were stationed for mission training and eventual deployment. Penny was mentioned in the first film. Penny Benjamin.
In the Navy, new male pilots are called BOB until they get a call sign, so technically no chance he would have that call sign in his position.
Val Kilmer beat his throat cancer and no longer has it, but yeah, he can't really speak.
It is a P-51 Mustang at the end.
Glad you guys waited for the review, thanks for that, and for sure see it in theaters with good sound.
To me personally, I think that Hangman was more similar to young Maverick. Super cocky/smug, very wild/unpredictable. Doing things on his own like leaving his wingman. Like past Maverick did. That's why he made that passing comment "leaving your wingman? That's a strategy I haven't seen in a while". Looking back at this, there were A LOT of throwback/references/easter eggs to the original movie. Like, so many! Including Penny Benjamin herself.
That is sorta true. Maybe a combination of the two? He at least played the iceman role in this film
@@whitenoisereacts true that! Iceman also has some cockiness in him, but a bit more of a rule-follower than wild Maverick. And Hangman's kinda like that too.
Wait wait wait, Val Kilmer?! That was him! Aww 🥺
He also voiced Moses in "Prince of Egypt."
Best acting ive seen Tom Cruise do in a long time. That scene with Val Kilmer gets me.
I just finished watching it and I freaking loved it. I was three when the first movie came out. It was still being played in my household when I was six. I remember on the weekends late at night re-enacting the dog fights during the movie with models I made. This movie is so much better because it brings back a lot of the original things and people from the original. It’s a great flashback. When I saw they were going to steal a Tomcat… I flipped my s**t!!!! That has been my favorite fighter jet since I saw the original. Every time I go to any aircraft museum or the Nimitz in San Diego I spend the most time at the Tomcat. I really didn’t think this movie was going to be as good as it is. They had me thinking Maverick was going to die sooooo many times. I am glad he didn’t though but would understand.
I was SO SURPRISED he didn’t die I thought for sure he was a goner lol
The F/A-18A and C are single seat aircraft, while the F/A-18B and D are two seaters. The B model is primarily used for training, while the F/A-18A+ and C/D models are used for attack, tactical air control, and forward air control and reconnaissance missions.
The aircraft in this movie are are Super Hornets. E’s single seat and F’s two seat.
Top Gun: Maverick is not only one of the greatest sequels ever made, but one of the best movies in years. Focused on being a fun and entertaining movie with a legendary performance from Tom Cruise and the new cast was memorable, and the jet sequences was epic especially on the big screen.
So there are four original F/A-18 Hornet models, A, B, C, and D.
Models E and F are the more modern Super Hornets (they're actually called "Rhinos," an informal nickname, to eliminate confusion from Hornets in flight operations and radio calls)
A, C, and E are single seat. Single seaters are the fighters used primarily in missions.
B, D, and F are dual seat. Dual seaters are primarily training craft, they often have identical flight controls front and rear for that purpose. One of the physical differences the second seat adds is lower fuel capacity to make room for the extra seat, and lower landing weight due to the lower total fuel weight.
Great job by Hangman addressing the Elephant in the room With Mav and Rooster. The mission needed it.
Thanks guys, was looking forward to your reaction for this movie the most. Definitely one of the best sequels ever and so well done considering the time gap from the first. The perfect mix of nostalgia and new. Hope they bring out a new Top Gun game, if not will have to dust off the old one.
You are correct "Top Gun" school has been moved from Miramar in San Diego to Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada. Guess even the military wanted to get out of California.
Bob is the only realistic call-sign 😆
Go see this in the theater if you can guys. It's probably still playing somewhere. It's a great experience.
Maverick commenting on the "leaving your wingman" strat was a callback to the first movie when he did the same thing. Viper splashed him, and now Maverick got to splash Hangman.
Also, Val Kilmer had throat surgery years ago (around 2014) and actually can't speak IRL. They used an AI program to mimic his voice so he could "talk" in this film.
Guys watch it in the theater please
P-51 Mustang. One of the most iconic and beloved warbirds from WW II.
IRL Tom Cruise owns and flies his own P-51, & that was his plane at the end.
29:13 The football scene really shows the difference between how Maverick views training vs how Cyclone views training
I worked the flight deck.. Kennedy, Washington and Nimitz. Was an F-18 and EA-6B maintainer. Luckily I worked the deck before the F-14 was phased out. Got to work with the 14 guys on deck and on land. Was fun
Actually, my brother-in-law, Ryan was in the military and he was one of the people who pulled up the nets or cables that would catch the planes when they landed on the carriers!!!!
I like that they put the sailboat scene in the movie because it’s something Maverick dose not know how too doo. Makes him human and not come off like he can do anything.
If it's still playing in a theater near you, please go see it. I saw it twice in the theater and it was well worth the money I spent. Amazing to see it on the big screen!!!
I’m gonna go see it now in theaters
@@whitenoisereacts What did you think?
43:02 THAT WAS ME WHEN ROOSTER MADE THAT BULLSEYE!!!!
Guys look up on RUclips james gordon and Tom cruise flying full episode. And look up top gun maverick behind the scenes. Also tom cruise said he was not going to make this movie without Val Kilmer. I love that they have been friends since the beginning almost 40 years I think.
First time watching your channel. Your reaction was P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!!! We got to watch the movie with you (great balance of watching and reacting)! I was 16 when the original came out. So cool to see you guys enjoying this movie!
Welcome brother!!! We got lots more awesome stuff coming!!!
Penny Benjamin was the Admirals daughter Meg Ryan was telling Charlie about at the bar while goose was playing the piano , also all the actors were required to actually fly in the jets for the camera work
That cobra maneuver by the Su-57 was nice
With this sequel taking so long to be made and coming out so many years after the original, I wasn't sure how good it would be.
Thankfully, my fears were very unfounded; as you guys said, this goes straight onto the list of the best sequels of all time, and I would argue it's one of the best movies, period.
Thanks for the great reactions, discussions, and video.
Too bad this didn’t come out around the time of Disney/Star Wars. Lol. Disney definitely could’ve taken some notes on this movie for Star Wars.
I saw this in theatres 3 times but do I have chills in anticipation clicking on this video!? hell yeah I do! Let's goooooo!!!!
The bar scene where we are introduced to the new generation - Miles Teller learned the song and played it live in that scene, with the cast and the extras (most of whom are actual real life pilots) joining in. There’s an official music video of the performance, and the recording is on the OST.
I feel like the altercation between Rooster and Hangman wasn’t so much Hangman being a douche, but almost as if he’s trying to spark something in Rooster. He points out a couple of times that Rooster is too safe. “You’re snug on that perch, just waiting for the right moment… that never comes”, “I don’t mean to criticise, you’re conservative, that’s all”. Hangman is pushing Rooster, maybe not the best way to do it, but Rooster needs the push.
30:58 there’s no way Amelia didn’t already know Maverick was there… she would’ve seen his bike parked outside the front door.
The absolute rollercoaster from Coyote passing out and recovering just in time, the birdstrike that Phoenix and Bob had to eject from, the argument between Maverick and Rooster, and then Iceman’s funeral… that just really pulls you from pillar to post in a short amount of time.
The interaction between Maverick and Rooster after they are both shot down is one of my favourite moments:
“What are you doing here? Do you think I took that missile for you to be down here with me?”
“I just saved your life!”
“I saved YOUR life, that’s the whole point. What the hell were you thinking?”
“You told me not to think!”
Hangman saving the day at the end… he’s good, he’s really good… in fact, he’s ‘saving the day in an excessively heavy F-18’ good! It’s quite funny to think he makes the save with his plane LOADED, if his plane wasn’t loaded to the hilt he might have got there sooner 😂
The thing about no one dying - go back to when Maverick is being reprimanded after the first training. “Teach them how to work as a team, and strike the target”
“And how to come home… and how to come home, sir.”
“Every mission has its risks, these pilots accept that.”
“I don’t, sir.”
His biggest success is that everyone got home safe… only 3 pilots died, and all were enemies - the two in the helicopter that Rooster shot, and the final Su-57 that Hangman shot. Otherwise, the loss of life on both sides in the whole mission was minimal (although I don’t know about the casualties inside the facility when they bombed it 🤷🏻♂️).
One glaring inconsistency in this move is that early on in the briefing he is talking about radar guided missiles however, they only use flares as a countermeasure which are only effective vs heat seeking missiles. I can only speculate the reason they did it that way is because dumping flares looks like more sensational than a cloud of chaff.
it has the same feeling as the 1st one. You will love it.
We already saw it
The aircraft you are thinking of is the SR-71. I had to watch a couple times before noticing the skunkworks emblem on the tail. F-18 hornet 2 seat is a D/F model. The E is single seat. Aircraft at the end is P-51 mustang and it does belong to tom cruise.
This movie was an experience in the theater! I'm glad you guys had a blast with this!
I’ve only recently watched this series and I fell in love with both movies. I think this sequel gave just the characters the right closure and development in the way that they needed. I only watched the first movie just the day before going to the theater to watch the second one, and I just cannot imagine the thrill and nostalgia that og fans must have felt who truly grew up on the first movie. Watching your videos made me really want to watch this movie again and I think I know what I’ll be watching over the weekend now 😆
(I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I just want to say that you guys are my favorite reaction channel all over the YT. I love all the commentary and analysis you guys provide while doing your reactions. Thank you for doing it and I really hope you guys keep up the great work!)
The actor with the glasses that played bob is bill pulmans son. Great reaction guys
The real life TOPGUN did relocate to Fallon, Nevada. But for the sake of this story, the writers I guess decided to keep the San Diego setting.
Yeah that is Toms P-51 Mustang, owns it, maintains it, flys it regularly, and is him flying it at the end.
Toms also licensed to fly several jets, and during the mission in the movie, the footage of him being launched off the catapult is real, he was the only one of the cast to actually launch from the carrier. The guys an absolute star.
8:20 thats the F/A-18E Super Hornet, my personal favourite.
Where I live in Wales we can sit on top of the mountains watching the fighter pilots practice low level flying through the valleys every day. RUclips "the mach loop" 👌
The bottom flap on the stick is the G-force bypass to make the climb up the mountain
I don't know if this film is available with the two extra screens that were filmed still. There is a version with a left and right side screen that was available when it firs came out. The F-14 is only flown by Iran today.
I love that Cruise in A Few Good Men doesn't like boats and Demi Moore says "Jesus you are in the Navy"....... and in this movie Penny says "I thought you were in the Navy?" after Mav says he doesn't understand the boat lingo.
Just watch the opening scenes of the two films back to back. It's incredible how much better they were able to make it look with how far technology has advanced.
If Missions come up that require completion by a certain time, instructors will demonstrate the mission completion first to show its possible. THEN they would go through the processes we saw in the movie, of getting the pilots up to the conditions and hardships of the mission as well as accurate delivery of the payload, and the ensuing escape
Some great news if your not aware is that last year or at the beginning of this year Val kilmer was declared cancer free but at the time of filming everyone including Val thought he would pass so the movie was dedicated to him
Yes Tom cruise owns a ww2 p51 mustang
Everyone who’s said it is right about how nostalgic this is for those of us who were there for the premiere of the first movie!
There was no fat in this movie. It is a complete breakfast, full of everything you need. Better than the original, and maybe the best movie of the year.
Maverick was such an awesome movie. Like, it hits everything so right. Perfect.
To me at 45 yrs old THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE of the last 10 years. Period.
@12:40 Penny at the Bar is mentioned in the original Top Gun. It is when Maverick and Goose are being chewed out by the CAG on the carrier, after guiding Cougar down to the ship when he was supposed to land. The CAG said he had a history of High speed passes of Control towers and one Admiral's daughter. (Goose leans in to Maverick's ear and says "Penny Benjamin?" questioningly.
38:10 That's the feeling of going into harm's way, saying goodbye to the woman you love.
I saw a vid about Val in the movie said Tom C. Wouldn't do it without him and Val Kilmer son dubbed his voice. You should see him in the Doors he is amazing as Jim Morris he did his own singing the Doors say he sounds just like Jim Morris. He also sang in "Top secret" comedy.
It's indeed a P-51 Mustang, and yes that one is owned by Tom Cruise himself.
SUCH AN AWESOME PLANE!!
regarding the 2 seater question, everyone is in F18's the 2 seaters are just a variant that has a Weapons System Officer to work the targeting and other weapons systems while the pilot focuses on flying.
Whoa, you're one of the first. I almost don't want to watch this since I'll get the Blu Ray in November. I might even see it in a local theater again. After having watched "Labyrinth," did you notice a David Bowie song when Jennifer Connelly was introduced?
Single-seater is the _F/A-18E_ and the tandem-seater (two-seater) is the _F/A-18F_ . In the tandem-seater, the pilot sitting in the back is responsible for onboard weapons.
nah theater experience always be best, u need a full audience brother😂😂
