In 1966, an SR-71 suffered a mid-air breakup when, like the Darkstar, flew to its full potential. The pilot survived, but his Recon Systems Officer was killed immediately during the breakup. I believe the incident inspired the Darkstar's flight and mid-air breakup in Top Gun: Maverick.

[@rharvey9808]

The Dark Star "Engine Unstart" is almost exactly as Bill Weaver described his high-altitude Mach 3+ breakup in the SR-71 (Serial # 61-7952) on the 25th Jan 1966. Bill survived that incident, crediting his Pressure shut for withstanding the incredible pressures of the breakup, forces that ripped him our of his ejection seat (which never left the aircraft) then protected him from death as he fell from above the death zone into breathable air. Bill survived but Jim Zwayer his RSO died. Bill passed away in 2021, having continued as a test pilot in some form or another, into his 85th year!

I think the only time Maverick feels close to Goose is when he's pushing himself close to the edge of life and death. He says it again before the mission and talks to Goose again when the SU-57 has radar lock and they can't eject. It's a beautiful and emotional way to show the guilt and loneliness he carries.

With the Zimmer score in the background there are hints of sci-fi in this scene, which I think is intentional as it's literally an experimental future aircraft.

[@BrayanCarmona-kr7vt]

You can't turn back time even if you went at the speed of light. It's not physically possible. According to the laws of physics you can only go into the future not the past unfortunately. So yeah theoretically if we could even get close to the speed of light let's say Mach 120 which by the way is 92,000 mph around where asteroids travel we could start feeling like we getting younger and the guys on earth start getting older. By the way Mach 120 isn't even close to speed of light, but it's possible to travel at those speeds given enough time and as close to light speed as we will ever get if we get there without burning to crisp would probably be Mach 140 or 107,000 mph. Again we really haven't come up with ways to physically travel light speeds so no it's not possible to go back in the past nor future for maybe never.

After covid hit, and China started to backpedal on letting hwood movies in, they pulled financing from Maverick. At that point, the filmmakers put the flag back in.

And to this day it is absolutely smashing records still. I mean it did well enough that it caused the Chinese version of Top Gun to not be released they were afraid of it being ridiculed from what I heard. And with the way current relations are going with China, what you're saying is not really going to matter anymore, because things have deteriorated so much anyway. So the days of relying on China are coming to an end. Currently the US and Canada are working together to ban some exports to China. And it looks like some of them have just been approved.

This movie had nearly 2,500 VFX shots. This entire sequence with the dark star is almost fully CG. They created a practical mock-up of for the on-ground scenes, however, all the flying is 100% CG. Most of the flying scenes in this movie were in fact heavily heavily altered by CG. The enemy planes are all CG, the F 14 escape plane is all CG, the actual planes used for shooting were mostly L 39's, and then later digitally replaced. The only flying scene that's assured to be not CG is the P51 Mustang scene with the Lady Gaga song at the end of the film.

As a pilot I love Maverick’s communication with ATC (or ‘tower’ or whatever they’d be called here). He tells them he has the current weather (“with information Alpha”) and flight control clears him to taxi to the runway that most favors the weather, then reads to Maverick the wind direction and windspeed (210 is the direction of the wind, 10 is the sustained windspeed in knots). I saw the movie seven times in theatres and seen clips on KZbin dozens of times, that first time watching it on opening day in late May 2022 was the greatest cinematic experience of my life!

That is the most beautiful jet ever! I had a very strange dream of flying it and it felt amazing! And really fast too! I bet it feels even more amazing in real life!

[@III_DarkAngel]

She really is a true angel of the skies. Darkstar is an ironic name in my opinion, considering when you look up she shines brighter than any star in the dark :)

[@xmxofficial]

I agree :)

[@mesh8349]

I thought it didnt even exist IRL?

[@xmxofficial]

It’s not a real jet but it’s really pretty and looks fast!

[@anthonywong6748]

This scene is one of the most badass ever, love the background as the plane fly by . ❤

[@DocGadget11]

This scene reminds of when the NX-01 achieved warp 5. The build up to that moment was amazing, the crew was pushing humanities best technologies to its breaking point and beyond.

[@wilddenbigh]

It seems Humanity's best moments are when we get together to go faster than ever before. Just look at the last time the Land Speed Record was broken.

[@Low_commotion]

Damn that's a perfect comparison (or Cochran first achieving warp). As soon as I read your comment it clicked.

[@enrikekasijas705]

3 times in theater and 3 times in front of TV. Best movie in my life ❤❤❤

[@leroystraley8252]

I always, with out fail, get chills when both the music and speed a building, and the kid says "approaching high hypersonic" with a kind of reverence.

[@ricardofernandes7303]

I was 42 when the movie came out. I cried a couple times in the movie. It was so emotional for me personally. I watched the first top gun 100 times, and this movie was great, amazing but it was empty in the sense of not having most of the original cast… it got me to me younger years… and people and moments that I will never have again! The movie was amazing! Really amazing !

[@symonzziwa2744]

Mr Ricardo it's not only you who cried am also crying now as watching this scene from you tube.Thank you sir

[@MagnumTriumph]

My only "complaint" about this movie is that this scene happens early on and it's the best scene in the movie. Nothing tops this

[@darknerd8332]

Mav saying "All right sweetheart, one last ride" while the opening notes to Top Gun's main theme plays in combo with the theme when the Darkstar's zoomin in the air made me start to tear up lmao

[@jjay2530]

everyone has their favourite moment from this scene, but mines definitely gotta be 5:53 that shot of Maverick above the earth with a birds eye view shot gives me goosebumps everytime.

[@vasanthbenjamin]

With the Hans Zimmers music and the way Darkstar storms into the dusk sky, easily one of the finest goosebumps scenes ever to come on an action movie hands down... ❤❤❤

[@wolf-bearchief3705]

[@garrettsinclair5204]

I get chills every single time the Darkstar starts chasing down the sun. This is the best movie of all time and it’s not particularly close.

[@dtp944]

I love how this movie was. Just plain and simple? Nothing need to be told that hadn't been already told no extracurricular stuff. No agenda just pure good storytelling

[@doointhedoo]

I'm pretty sure the plane failing like that in the end most likely would have killed him. Either way it's a great scene.

[@markymarknj]

Not if the cockpit as a whole ejected. The B-1 and F-111 have pod type ejection systems; if the DarkStar had that, then Mav could've survived.

[@doointhedoo]

@longman7168 lol

[@doointhedoo]

@@markymarknj at that speed though. In addition the shear forces with irregular trajectories at that speed "Mach 8,9,10", they would have had to design one heck of a pod. B1 and F-111 don't fly that fast.

[@1SouthrnComfort]

Ed Harris was meant for this scene…and although it was a limited amount of screen time, he made a huge impact. Definitely commanded the room. I was so reluctant for them to have a sequel to such an iconic movie, but they did an amazing job and understood the assignment. Adding Hans Zimmer as the composer took this sequel to another level! *slow clap of admiration

[@Jon-es-i6o]

Didn’t EH play John Glen in The Right Stuff?🤔

[@dallasyap3064]

Ed Harris definitely commands the room. Look at his role in 1996 action film The Rock (starring Sean Connery too), throughout the movie, u can feel him as a real commanding no-nonsense, caring but tough General.

[@KrisBend]

That Mach 10 scene is epic! 🚀 The adrenaline is off the charts, and Tom Cruise really knows how to deliver those thrilling moments. I love the mix of intense action and humor-it keeps you hooked from start to finish! Can't wait to see more!!!

[@Makeitso2023]

I hope Tom and top gun maverick wins an Oscar this is a brilliant movie that imo is up there with sequels that have surpassed the original,Aliens T2 to name a couple

[@dallasyap3064]

Unfortunately, only won 1. Top Gun Maverick got ripped off from the awards.

[@dgillies5420]

Five Nominations and a win at the Oscars for Best Sound. They Hans Zimmerman music along with the ever-ascending tones in the cockpit (a low frequency become loud and then increases in pitch until a new low frequency overpowers it and also ascends in pitch) made it seem like the jet speed was ever-increasing.

[@MaistoHelix]

Every single person that has aviation in his soul, would gladly die and step into this moment and become part of aviation History. Aviation is actually defined by moments like this.

[@ianlast6722]

Possibly the best part of any recent film ever! An awesome film and just amazing!

[@3strll]

For me it should be the last scene. A great exit for the greatest Aviator in the History of Top Gun and US Navy.

[@snbforever]

The is the best part of the entire movie; in fact, this could have been the ENTIRE MOVIE, and would still have perfectly summed up and completed the entire Top Gun arc 😎

[@artjompr6664]

4:19 So Maverick performs a turn at a rate of about 30° per second just after reaching Mach 9. Taking that speed and rotation into account, maverick is experiencing about 165G‘s of force in that scene. Even if we‘re to assume a rotation of just a tenth or 3° per second, he’ll still be experiencing lethal amounts of G-forces. In other words, Maverick became the fastest soup in human history.

[@celalergun]

The time I saw Ed Harris I felt like I have seen an old friend. I met him with "The Rock" and he is still the best second actor since then.

[@venomsn4kee]

You might have been told this, but I saw it twice and each time, they rolled a little greeting message from Tom, all dressed in normal clothes and no makeup or anything Basically just thanking us for seeing it the way it was intended to be viewed, and thanking us for believing in cinema Hell of an opener to any film

[@trentpatrick7530]

I can totally see them re releasing it in theatres like they did with some other movies. It was truly an amazing experience from start to finish.

[@ErrantChordier]

@@trentpatrick7530 I agree it will likely be released as one of the "classics" from time to time. My local theatre is a small one and usually plays first run new films for only a couple weeks at a time, but they actually brought back Top Gun Maverick with additional special features, about two or three weeks after they had stopped showing it.
