Now you need to watch Quentin Tarantino talk about the top gun's real meaning. From a movie he was in.

[@chrisstafford3174]

Pleeease add Maverick to the lineup

[@jennifermorris6848]

They didn’t just pay for the license. The song Highway to the Danger Zone was written for this movie. It is iconic.

[@sariel8406]

And Kenny was at the premiere of the new movie.

[@Wanys123]

The whole soundtrack was written and made for the movies... Danger Zone, Mighty Wings, Take my Breath away,.... Also they misidentified instrumental of Mighty wings as HttDZ when talking about it.

[@hothotheat3000]

Top Gun Maverick is legitimately one of the best sequels of all time.

[@chaost4544]

It managed to do what what Blade Runner 2049 did.

[@RazorSe7en]

@@chaost4544 And Aliens.

[@BIGD-cc7ru]

Agreed. I dare say it’s better than the original in almost every way.

[@knightmare5097]

@@RazorSe7en The difference between that and BR/TGM was that Aliens came out a few years after Alien, so it was still in peoples minds. The 21st century sequels came out decades after, and with the known track record of remakes/sequels being complete blunders, it’s a miracle those two movies turned out as masterful as they did

[@RazorSe7en]

@@knightmare5097 It doesn't matter if Aliens came out only 7 years after Ridley Scott's original movie, it's also a sequel to an incredible movie and in this case with James Cameron being an action film, a completely different approach to the original movie, but arguably one of the best sequels ever made. Not few people consider it equal or even better than Alien, myself included, but I'm suspicious to say that because Aliens is still my favorite movie ever. And talking about James Cameron, lets not forget about Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

[@MrMarioski]

The older I get the more I realize Iceman is the real hero of this film. Surviving 5 enemy MiGs while Mav disengaged to talk to his deceased RIO, won the stare down in orientation class, offered to help Maverick at the bar figure things out (Goose even tells Mav to his face that Ice is The Best!) Called out Maverick’s poor attitude after leaving Hollywood dry. Graduated at top the class as trophy winner. The sequel helps prove Iceman’s feats.

[@MysterClark]

Hardest part about watching these reactions to this movie is watching people fall in love with Goose knowing what's coming.

[@fubar1217]

Reactors: I love Goose Me: Don't get too attached LOL

[@SteveODonnell]

The accident that got goose, was a real fault with that plane. The canopy was designed with forward flight in mind. The mechanism caused a few accidents due to aircrafts flaming out and trying to eject from a spin. The did eventually resolve it. Some in cockpit stuff was real, however the real pilots were in the rear seats.

[@cookiejarvis3856]

They added detonation wire into the cockpits themselves, so instead of them just blowing off the aircraft, the wire detonated, blowing the canopy open -and- blowing it off.

[@davidribeiro1064]

Other way around, the pilots were in the front seats and the actors in the backseats.

[@Batanuhtanah]

@@davidribeiro1064 wrong thread bro

[@Yamato-tp2kf]

And at that that time, the pratt & witney engines in the F-14 where very sensitives in passing the wake of another jet and could flame-out the engines, it's at that time, because the movie show it, the Navy decided to investigate and discovered that was true, so they decided to change engines and decided to put general electric engines that were more reliable (witch even improved his air-to-air fighting capabilities!) and the pilots in the 90's didn't liked when they decided to change planes from the F-14 to the F-18, and in a sense with good retrofit it could become even superior to the F-18... But they decided to retire the F-14... T.T

[@sparrowlt]

And in a cruel twist of fate a pilot actually died filming the flat spin .. Art Scholl was doing the flat spin in his Pitts S-2 to film the background sky-ocean spining..he couldnt recover from the spin and dissapeared to crash into the ocean

[@coranbaker6401]

When I first saw this, I thought Iceman would just be a generic jerk/bully character, but he's honestly a real voice of reason. He genuinely has a point when he points out how much of a problem Maverick's lone wolf attitude can be. I also like how they never make it clear which one is the better pilot, since if the situation had been reversed it easily could have been Iceman coming to Maverick's rescue.

[@sariel8406]

The iceman in the first movie was never a jerk or bully. He has never done anything shitty like use a derogatory term or bullying tactic. He is just an overachiever, super competitive and a stickler to rules. While maverick as his name suggest - a breaker of rules. So inevitably clashes happened between these two.

[@CinHotlanta]

True, the guy was 100% right... scoreboard

[@kbob9625]

All the flying and planes are real. The editor deserves a gold medal because all the flying was just incoherent random shots and the editor had to piece together all the footage to get the flying scenes. They said they were asked to supply b-roll and they said they literally didn’t have any because it took every piece of film to cut together what’s in the movie lol.

[@chazzerous]

Yeah I still like this movie but the flying scenes are incoherent, just random stuff cut together. It really shows how exceptionally executed Top Gun Maverick is

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

@@chazzerous Agreed. And I believe all the flying in Maverick was all practical, as well! The majority, anyway. I do know Tom Cruise was pretty adamant about using as little CGI as possible. I think the only CGI they ended up using was for things that were legitimately too dangerous, like bullet fire and most of the explosions.

[@chazzerous]

@@SwiftFoxProductions yeah I think the majority of CGI is in the final act - there’s a couple planes they flew in the film that the United States just wouldn’t have access to flying or filming

[@RealzFoSho]

@@chazzerous They used all real planes, but they reskinned with CGI. That way movements were always real, completely practical flying, and not imagined by an artist. Aside from the reskins for certain planes, they also used CGI to make the F-18's look like single seat models instead of the 2-seat models they actually were, removing the actual pilot and having the actor who was in the back seat look like they were the only one in the plane. There was definitely CGI in the film, but it was used in a way that makes it all feel real. There are even scenes that I have seen people claim are CGI, like the low flight over the desert, which were practical, performed by a Blue Angel. They went so far with the practical in the film, doing some truly amazing work, that it has many convinced they are seeing CGI because it is so hard to wrap your head around how you actually make it practical. Very impressive work.

[@chazzerous]

@@RealzFoSho hmm so did they do that also with the Su57? I’m thinking of that one maneuver, you know the one I’m talking about near the end

[@Yankee92000]

Fun fact. They actually fired a real missle in that last fight! That's why you saw multiple of the same shots for different missles that Maverick fired.

[@multiverse_media2023]

Say what? Wow, now that’s dedication.

[@sparrowlt]

they might fired 2 as we see both a sidewinder and a sparrow fire off .. some could be maybe stock footage ?

[@Yankee92000]

@@sparrowlt your probably right! I don't know for a fact I just know of the one missle they got permission to shoot for the movie.

[@Gertzik]

@@sparrowlt I think I've read somewhere that the second fired missile was a prop using the shot of the first one as a reference. Allegedly because it was so convincing, when the military saw it, they asked whether they secretly fired a second missile.

Those aren't models, with the exception of the ones that get blown up, of course. The aerial scenes were all filmed with the full co-operation of the Navy. The "Mig-28s" are F-5 Tigers from the aggressor squadron at, the now closed, NAS Miramar. This movie came out when I was 8, and, is, partially, responsible for me joining the Navy many years later.

I have seen Top Gun at least 100 times, i never fail to smile almost every second of this movie(except of course you know...)... The vast majority of plane scenes are real, which is why the movie is so iconic. They worked directly with the Navy to work on the film.

[@kevinh9110]

What about the second one?

[@k.delpino1124]

Growing up in the 1980s like I did, you don't skip out on what this film meant to the culture. Months earlier, there was a film of similar content called Iron Eagle (loosely based on true events) that had spawned 3 sequels. But Top Gun would eventually outrun, outgross and overshadow that film. Cruise as an leading man on his A-game with a great supporting cast. Everybody wanted to be a fighter pilot after seeing this and the impact on recruitment was unbelievable. No.1 film of 1986, soundtrack goes platinum and the song "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin won an Oscar & Golden Globe for Best Original Song. The late, great Tony Scott (director) with Jerry Bruckheimer and the late Don Simpson (producers) as their first film together. Top Gun was a video-game franchise, 18 games in a row. The final game was Top Gun:Hard Lock on PS3 and it was so fun. Top Gun was in limited re-release for IMAX theatres only in 2013 and it was the first time I'd ever saw it. Top Gun:Maverick (2022) is an incredible sequel and you'll definitely love that one.

[@tsefcik]

Iron Eagle is the preferred fighter pilot film of Johnny Lawrence in Cobra Kai 😂

Just a couple minutes in, but almost all of the aerial footage it real. There are miniatures of missiles & of course aircraft being hit, and the flat spin, and of course the "negative-G" maneuver - but pretty much everything else was real.

[@wolfecanada6726]

Great avatar icon 😁👍🇨🇦

[@Kroesis]

From what I remember, they did most of the shots with real aircraft. This video/DVD was a well watched item in RAF crew rooms over the country in the 90's/00's. It's basically Hollywood produced aircraft porn!

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

I have a feeling the reason hearing the original "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" made you think of Ghost is probably because that song and the famous song from Ghost ("Unchained Melody") were both sung by the Righteous Brothers so, they have a similar vibe/sound.

[@J_Drix]

"I hope Goose saw that from Heaven." omg... 😢 lol I can't wait for your Maverick reaction

Even after watching this movie dozens of times, hearing danger zone come on in the beginning (cranked up of course) will always give me chills. this movie has such a feel that I haven't experienced since seeing maverick in theatres and it gets me every time!

[@vbvermont]

You’re bang on with the chemistry between Mav and Ice - I’d venture to say Tom and Val as well. “I want some butts!” is hilarious. Don’t remember that from seeing it in theatres. You guys gotta watch the sequel. And maybe react to it?!

[@joshmorales770]

Much of the air combat sequences was either shot by the military for this film or was filmed on actual combat aircraft with the permission of (and in conjunction with) the U.S. Navy. The combat sequences were mostly taken from target training sequences where those planes that were shot down were unmanned.

[@tonyabrookes9931]

As an 80's kid, hearing these songs fills me with such nostalgia. This movie was such big deal back then! I have the soundtrack on cd 😁

[@Gemma7Lewis]

🤣🤣 that “fuck yeah” during danger zone was amazing

[@InfiniteGamingOffical]

The sexual tension between Val and Tom is unreal in this movie

[@inefekt]

This has to be one of the most unintentionally homoerotic films ever made, from the beach volleyball scene to the scene where Tom Cruise is standing in the changeroom wearing nothing but his y-fronts and Tom Skerritt caresses his naked back with his hand as he leaves. I'm sure all that stuff was an attempt to get females to watch a film that is very clearly full of testosterone but they just ended up making a film that likely ranks highly in lists of favourite films among gay men....not that there's anything wrong with that!

[@davidribeiro1064]

They added the elevator scene with Charlie in post because Maverick was coming off as too gay for the 80s.

[@Zack_410]

Top Gun is probably the gayest film ever made lol

People who don't see the original Top Gun will never fully understand the following in Top Gun Maverick: 1) Mav's overprotection of Goose's son, Rooster, and why he feels so responsible 2) Mav and Ice's development from rivals to close friends 3) Mav's overall reputation as a pilot 4) The nostalgia those of us who grew up with the original Top Gun get when we hear the signature "Highway to the Danger Zone" song play in the opening scene

Watched it on repeat during summers, feeling the roar in the floor and walls.

[@reebasrants2636]

As a little girl, movies like Top Gun and Iron Eagle made me want to be a fighter pilot. I did join the Air Force in '97 (right out of high school), but my testing wasn't high enough for flight status. I was SO sad until I got pulled to be Security Forces. Still wish I could have flown though!

No matter how many times I've seen this movie (and I've seen it way too many times), I cry at the Goose death scene. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised Eric never saw Top Gun. I'm not condemning him for it, but he seems to be such a movie connoisseur and so up-to-date on all the big blockbuster popular movies, especially action, from at least the last few decades. I would also have figured since he said his dream was to be a fighter pilot, I would figure he would've seen this already multiple times. Oh well. No biggie, just thought it was interesting. Actually, also a bit surprised Aaron only saw this movie once as a kid. I would have figured Eric and Aaron would both have already had this movie on their favorites list. If not this movie, then the sequel will probably make it up there. I cannot help myself but watch this movie every time it is on tv. It is 1 of those movies like Rocky 4 that will always get me to stop channel surfing and watch it start to finish or finish the remainder of it. Their reactions to the sequel is gonna be epic! I can just picture some of the things Eric will say from excitement during that movie. I wonder if they saw Days of Thunder yet. If not, I think they'd love that movie too, which is basically Top Gun using cars. :)

[@OshawottLuke]

Goose was interpreted by Anthony Edwards, who was also kind of the protagonist for the first 8 seasons of ER, the best show ever made (literally most Emmy nominations, but then got surpassed by Game Of Thrones, but we all know how hard that show fell on its final steps). Everyone should go watch it really, far better than Grey's Anatomy, honestly that show butchered the prestige of medical dramas and everyone who has seen both agrees, now everyone thinks medical dramas are like soap operas and underwhelming, but ER, at least for the first 8 seasons, is like almost every episode is an amazing top tier movie, no joke. From 9 until its final one, 15, it became worse because Grey's started airing and it was stealing viewers so the network decided to be more like Grey's and duh the show became less good because that's what being more like Grey's is, having more comedy bits and just bland or obnoxious characters. At least the final season actually was a banger so there's a reward for sticking to it, and even those weaker seasons still have really great arcs and episodes, it's just that overall you feel it losing the magic of the first 8 seasons. You'll thank me later, everyone, go watch it! It will become your favorite show on Earth most surely.
