Some people hate on Tom Cruise bc of his religious beliefs. But the dude is a legit star and made himself great. Thats his plane at the end too, he is a pilot of planes and helicopters. Does his own stunts for realism and even breaks bones doing it. Became a student of his craft and became a great producer. He made this film for his fans. He might be the last great movie star.

[@Reactsandgames]

We love Tom Cruise! 😃

[@kennethfinnegan2978]

In the first movie, Penny Benjamin was the admirals daughter that Maverick was dating when he got busted. Remember, 6 high speed passes over control towers and 1 admiral’s daughter. Then Goose says, “Penny Benjamin”.

[@bennyfugazzi1054]

I remember and was gonna clear that up But it looks like an off and on thing cause of the daughter Great comment though 👍👍

[@gbacani007]

Goose's wife, played by Meg Ryan, also mentions Penny to Maverick when they're at the bar and Goose is playing on the piano. She says "he told me about the time you went ballistic with Penny Benjamin." Both were amazing call backs to the original film.

Goose and his wife were the only people in the whole movie that mentioned Penny Benjamin. I followed this movie since way before it was made, and when I heard that Penny Benjamin was going to be a central character, I was beyond excited, and I knew it would be good. Tom Cruise knows how to make a movie.

I made sure to see this one in IMAX, the sounds of the jets rattling the seats in the theater was so epic. I could watch this movie a million times and it never gets old. Brilliant reaction 💜

That would have been INSANE!! perfect movie for IMAX!!

[@X4ert]

Great reaction! Imax was amazing but 4DX with moving chairs, wind, mist, fog in the theater was indescribable!!

[@tojassargaja2085]

I dont like that they changed the gun sounds. The real gun sounds of these jets sound much cooler. And a lot of other things in real life sounds better that they changed in this movie. I have no clue why. I understand that they changed for example the hud symbols and make it simpler, easyer to understand. But i dont know why it was necceserly to do it with the sounds.

[@watchmanschannelofdespair]

Agree totally.

[@blueprintswe]

As I saw someone else say: "This movie has no business being this good"! It's so true, every scene is either perfect or as close to perfect as is possible. There are so many film trope traps it could have fallen into just to get an extra laugh or create additional drama, bot somehow this film knows that it does not need it, it's has enough on its own. There are particularly two things I keep thinking of: 1. When he jumps out the window after the night at Penny's, and Amelia sees him, it a less self aware movie would have gone for an easy joke. Instead she says "just don't break her heart again" and it hit's so much harder in the feels than any joke could have ever done. 2. Before he leaves for the mission he goes to talk to Penny. Any other movie would hav had him not telling her anything to not worry her, and then it would create extra drama because she would be angry that he "just left again". Instead he actually tells her what is happening and why he leaves and what he means (although we don't see/hear the exact words, the whole emotion of that scene makes it clear to me that it is what he does) which makes it so much more mature, and to be honest, real. Also, I'm not sure if you actually mentioned it, I might have missed it, but the illness and reason for Iceman not speaking, is that Val Kilmer had throat cancer in real life and lost most if not all of his voice. So the portrayed illness of Iceman is the exact same as of the real life Val Kilmer.

[@Reactsandgames]

I did mention about val on Patreon but I cut it from the KZbin video. Such a great movie and I agree, they made all the right decisions here!

[@akkuan9334]

4:14 this is a prototype. Called sr-72 darkstar. In this scene they used f-18 super hornet and use cgi to change the look of this jet to look like the prototype. Also, the previous model of this aircraft called sr-71 blackbird, exists in real life.

[@StevesFunhouse]

"sr-71 blackbird, exists in real life" ... AND is still the fastest plane to ever grace the skies ... AND its REAL top speed is STILL top secret (unknown) !!!

[@vladyvhv9579]

Actually, the Darkstar was designed and built by Lockheed. Though CGI was used for the flying sequences. But, Lockheed did build a physical model as if they were actually going to make it do mach 10. As such, it's design is similar ot the actual SR-72 prototype (which people are now calling Darkstar), to the point where China diverted a spy satellite to get images of it. The actual SR-72 is a drone, so will not qualify for the SR-71's records.

[@Kennypowers51]

The people who run skunk works were consultants on this film so it wouldnt surprise me if they both exist.

​@@Kennypowers51yes, and the Skunkworks consultants absolutely made sure the Darkstar looks nithing like the actual successor to the Blackbird.

​@@Reactsandgamesyour tears just show it hit you in the feels same as it does for the rest of us doesn't it?

[@briancclevenger]

The first movie was a Navy recruiter film, lots of Hollywood but this film had lots of actual Navy consultants, keeping it real. Tom also wanted it as real as possible, so little CGI was used. I remember when my squadron was deployed and they (Hollywood) sent the Top Gun movie out to the fleet to watch. I had been flying the F14B for a few years and while sitting there with the rest and Maverick has a Mig on his six, he says "I'll hit the brakes and he'll fly right by", had us all laughing and a A6 pilot leans up and asked if my Tomcat can really do that. I laughed as I told him no, at that speed, deploying the speed brake would rip it clean off. This had a lot of Navy, real Navy involved in making sure it was as close to real as possible. The next one is supposed to also have the Navy's support, we'll have to hope that Tom can stay young enough to be in the plane.

[@bbtank3000]

The greatest thing about this movie for me is, I saw it on a plane. After going to Buffalo from Orlando to eat some wings, visit family and watch a football game with said family, on the flight home from New York the TV reception wasn't working so I figured, why not? And I loved it. Mover (a former Air Force and Navy pilot on KZbin) did an 8 part series on this movie and after talking about everything that was pure Hollywood (though pointing out that they never showed Rooster or Mav arming the ejection seats which could be intentional!) started after the 5th part pinning a comment that "Guys. We loved it. Chill out."

The F18 has a single seat and 2 seat version. They set up cameras in the two seat versions and navy pilots flew while the actors in the back seat acted as if they were actually flying. The plane that Tom Cruise flys at the end is P51 Mustang, a WW2 fighter. He is an accomplished pilot but to fly an F18 takes a lot of training and he would never had been allowed to learn to fly those.

[@Reactsandgames]

Ahh I see! That’s pretty amazing still! Love that they really shot it in a plane and not green screen! Adds sooo much to the realism of the film!

[@BigTroyT]

@@Reactsandgames They actually used then-brand-new Sony Venice 8K IMAX digital cameras - as many as 6 in the cockpit at once, which is only possible because these cameras, originally made for James Cameron for Avatar II, allowed the camera sensor to be detached and the main camera body to be placed elsewhere. As such, the vast majority of the flying sequences are absolutely real footage from the actors really flying in the rear seat of an F18 (piloted by Naval aviators). I doubt you'll see footage that looks that good anytime soon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4rElHSBgNagedk

[@Shiftry87]

Not for a lack of trying. Tom Cruise did anything he could to allow him to fly and even agreed to whatever amount of training they wanted but the Navy flat out refuced.

I think the speed of sound is around 760 mph (1,223.1 kph). So, Maverick's going roughly 7,600 mph (12,231 kph). At that speed, he could go from New York to London in less than 30 minutes. Bottom Line: He's FLYING!!!

This is one of very favorite movies. I'm a child of the 70s and 80s so Top Gun was a big deal for me growing up. Top Gun Maverick is a sequel that raised the bar so much. The threading of the storylines was so, so intricate and good. The film work and realism so good. The soundtrack, so good. The acting, so good. Etc. Etc. I watch a lot of reaction channels and your reaction to this film is a favorite now for me. You really got into the emotions and were invested in what happened. That is rare for younger reactors that didn't have the impact of the original in their youth and then waited 30 years for the nostalgic effect of this movie. I also loved how you really didn't know what was coming which makes it a true first-time reaction which made all the difference. You also did a great job with the YT edit. That can be an area reactors mess up by chopping things up so much that the movie doesn't flow and, even though everyone watching will have already watched the original, it helps to "watch with you" by having a well-edited "reaction movie" that allows us to go along on the ride with you. You kept the important pieces in which made it a truly enjoyable (and emotional all over again) for me to watch along with you guys. Thank you for being so genuine and showing such authentic reactions. You did a really great job.

at 51:17 when he tries to pull the ejection handles and the seats don't work is not a plot device for suspense. I trained on Martin baker seats back in 1974 to fly in an OV-1 Mohawk ( 2 seat,Twin engine Recon with photo and Radar) . Preflight had to remove many safety pins to arm the seat. When they got in the F-14, they didn't remove the safeties.

[@Reactsandgames]

[@aaronbarlow4376]

One of the greatest action films and greatest films of all time. A sequel on the level of Terminator 2.

[@Reactsandgames]

Sooo good!

[@ThistleAndSea]

That's a good one, isn't it? First time catching the two of you. I enjoyed rewatching this one with you both. Thanks for sharing it. 🙂

[@Reactsandgames]

Man, what a great reaction.

[@Reactsandgames]

Appreciate it! What a movie!!

[@denisemartin8882]

I rarely add a comment but must say I thoroughly enjoyed your analysis of this wonderful piece of film - you two KNOW the original storyline like the back of your hands and you are such a lovely couple. You could be actors yourselves.

[@Reactsandgames]

Thank you for watching! Means a lot! 😃

In the first Top Gun, the Fighter Weapons School was based at Naval Air Station Miramar near San Diego, CA. Later on it was moved to NAS Fallon in the Nevada desert. In this Film TOPGUN is based at North Island, CA which is the base for the C-2 Greyhound, the "Delivery Truck" for the US Navy. C-2's bring men and supplies out to the Carrier when it's at Sea.

This movie makes me cry several times every time I watch it

[@ivorwelch8446]

Wonderful reaction from you both to an amazing film, seen the first one so many times and saw this one in the cinema as soon as it came out. Watched it numerous times since as well. Subscribed now !

[@Reactsandgames]

Appreciate it! Thank you so much!

[@iitzfizz]

Good reaction guys! This movie makes me emotional as hell too, it's even worse because Top Gun was my Dads all time favourite movie and he passed away in 2020, he never got to see the sequel.

[@Reactsandgames]

Really sorry to hear that. Thank you for watching with us!

[@TheMirrorVision]

You two are lovely to watch, and seeing you watch the film reminded me of how I felt the first time I watched it! Subscribed now :)

I loved your review

[@Reactsandgames]

Wow Timothy! You didn’t have to do that! Greatly appreciated thank you so much! And thank you for watching with us, so glad you enjoyed the video❤️ thank you again!!

[@abigailjohnson4270]

This was awesome to watch in the cinema… I’ve not had that visceral a reaction in the cinema in years. And that opening shot with the stealth going over the top of the admiral & the roof lifting - that was real. One shot.

[@Reactsandgames]

Awesome shot! Amazing film! Would have been amazing to see on the big screen for the first time!

[@Turbo5150]

I love watching people reacting to this film. glad i found your channel! Subscribed!

[@Reactsandgames]

Appreciate it! Thanks a lot!!

[@arraymac227]

Shiver moment: seeing those SAM's overhead.

[@colinbrantcampbell8423]

Really enjoyed watching this again with you guys!

[@Reactsandgames]

Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@don220486]

I believe the black jet at the beginning to be a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird (now obsolete), one of the favorites of all time. The fly over the admiral and the corresponding roof lifting off is 100% real. That just one of the amazing things about this movie. All actors were in the aircraft but sat in the rear seats behind the navy's pilots. Cameras were mounted on the back of the pilots seat. Can't fake those facial expressions with the g-forces and the looks in their eyes. Not much CGI at all, mostly in the battles sequences.

[@archiebrulet2284]

You're such a lovely couple! I'm a woman and watched this in theaters 4 times. I think it brilliantly touches the hero desire in men.

[@Reactsandgames]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! We absolutely loved this movie! ☺️

[@manueldeabreu1980]

Fun fact: On the experimental jet everyone misses the Skunk Works logo on the tail of the plane and on the stick. Skunk Works is an official pseudonym for Lockheed Martin's Advanced Development Programs, formerly called Lockheed Advanced Development Projects. It is responsible for a number of aircraft designs, highly classified research and development programs.

[@or10nsharkfin]

For most of these shots, Tom Cruise is indeed in the aircraft--but in the back seat of the F/A-18E Super Hornet. The Navy stipulated that they could use operational aircraft for the movie as long as they were being flown by Navy pilots--but would never allow Cruise himself to fly them.

3:22 Mach is a speed measuring system. Mach 1 is the speed of sound, at 1235 kmh (767 mph) Mach 10 is what the SR-72 Darkstar (the plane in the intro) can reach, which is 12350 kmh (7672 mph). While Mach 1 is supersonic speeds, Mach 10 is considered Hypersonic. Your typical airliner cruises at Mach 0.86 which is 1062 kmh (660 mph), can cross the atlantic in about 9-12 hours depending on what for type jet it is. Concorde (supersonic airliner and my fav passenger jet) flies at Mach 2 which is 2470 kmh or 1535 mph and can cross the atlantic in less than 3 hours.

My wife and I saw this movie on opening night shortly after we moved to our new hometown of Colorado Springs. Unbeknown to us, as it happened, the theater is across the street from the US Air Force Academy. Also, as it happened, it was graduation day. As we were driving to the theater, the USAF Thunderbirds were doing a flyby for the graduation ceremony. The theater itself was full of cadets, some of whom just graduated, in their ceremonial uniform. During the movie, we could overhear their hushed conversations evaluating the technical details. Couldn't think of a more dramatic way to experience this movie!

[@Reactsandgames]

That’s pretty cool!

[@Historykid1]

One of the reasons I like maverick as a character is despite everything he always does what's right and the compassion he shows is mistaken for ego hes confident based on experience.... I will forever respect maverick as a character

[@Reactsandgames]

He is awesome! ☺️

[@Historykid1]

@Reactsandgames he really is 😀

[@MooreCEJr]

The plane in the hanger was Tom's own P-51 Mustang and he flew it with the actress who played Penny Benjimen (Jennifer Connelly for her first time ever in a plane; at the end of the movie.

[@Reactsandgames]

That’s awesome! Xxx

[@JWFas]

Miles Teller actually played the piano in the bar. He was admittedly rusty, but he practiced enough to play the song proficiently for that scene.

[@Reactsandgames]

That’s amazing!
