Top Gun. Take My Goose Away.

It's a 2-hour Navy recruitment commercial, but a very well made 2-hour Navy recruitment commercial. And we finally got to kick some New Zealand ass. USA! USA! USA!

“Fighting, for sake of argument, let’s just say New Zealand”. The irony is the NZ military doesn’t even own jets any longer 😂

[@x-crisis]

Despite having seen this film numerous times including the theatrical release watching it the other night was the first time I had noticed just how sweaty everyone is.

[@leewright1]

It was the 80's, lot of cocaine and testosterone and homoeroticism in a warm climate. Plus Danger (zone).

[@x-crisis]

@@danieltallon5087 it was just noticeable and unusual to see in a movie, wasn't knocking it

[@Varangian_af_Scaniae]

Not sure how it was with ACs in America at the time. But here in Sweden we had none so we all died of dehydration, several times a day.😆

He's all right. Don't nobody worry 'bout him.

[@l.a.gothro3999]

My late ex-2nd-husband (!) LOVED this movie. He'd served as a USN corpsman on an aircraft carrier. I never watched it all the way through. I like "Hot Shots" better, it has a recipe for Nobby Buns and Brownie Topping in the end credits.

[@roo72]

I remember loving it watching it when I was a teen. Watched it again just last week and I couldn't stop cringing.

[@BrettJones27]

That's the 1980s for you...

[@Spudtron98]

Yeah, fucking hell. It makes Ace Combat 6 look like a masterpiece of storytelling.

[@uniktbrukernavn]

I saw it when it was released and I've only seen it once, I'm afraid that if I re-watch it I will ruin the memories 🙃

[@killswitch1982]

One thing to note: pilots/aviators don't get to pick their own callsigns. Their callsigns are picked for them by their fellow pilots/aviators, and its usually during a special ceremony when they graduate from combat aviation school. If a pilot/aviator does something particularly stupid, dangerous, or embarrassing, they may undergo a "hostile re-name" where their fellow pilots/aviators will give them a new callsign, usually an embarrassing one that refers to the incident which brought about the hostile re-name. For example, let's say a pilot pulls too many Gs during a maneuver and ends up soiling himself, he might be given a hostile re-name from "Maverick" to "Crapper John" or "Hot Seat".

[@Spudtron98]

I bet Iceman actually got that name because he got locked in a walk-in freezer once.

[@kaitlyn__L]

"Hot seat" 😂

[@martharunstheworld]

Even though I've seen this movie and love it a half dozen times, I never realized (!!!) how much everyone sweats! Very receptive!

[@yankee1376]

"Sorry, Goose, but it's time to buzz the tower."

[@JustAnotherBigAl]

Speaking of first date movies, this one ranks among the most memorable first date movies for me in 1986. I recall 2 first dates for this film at the cinema. The most memorable recollection was listening to the booms emanating from the cinema whilst waiting for the next screening. The dates, not do memorable 😂

[@uniktbrukernavn]

5:18 "even the freshly minted widow..." 😂

[@scottclark3139]

This is a hot movie. Every frame is of someone sweating. 🤣

[@ja37d-34]

Tony Scott got the director-job in part froma cool SAAB-cemercial he made. You can kinda see Top Gun in it as the Viggen lifts off above a SAAB 900..

[@briandain8432]

I got it on blue ray because the behind the scenes were better than the actual movie. Also good tribute to Scott.

[@nemz7505]

You're criminally undersubscribed squire, good laugh that one!

[@flankspeed]

Stam Fine gets a sub from me based on 50% awesome videos and the other 50% for mentioning the Commodore Amiga. Space Harrier might've been on the C64 but I still want a pint with this legend 👍

[@TheBeird]

I’m old enough to remember Take My Breath Away being in the Top 10 here in the UK. Yet I’ve never seen Top Gun. And I don’t know I ever will. Just . . . has no appeal to me. The Maverick character is one I don’t particularly want to see succeed. However, Top Gun Maverick does appeal to me for some reason 🤔

[@nalyom99]

Hilarious as always, and so was your review!

[@oobrocks]

It’s 2022 & 1 of the best releases is Top Gun: Maverick and a huge money maker

[@carlrood4457]

I've always had one question. Why is the same coffee drinking guy manning the tower on the carrier and at Miramar? Is there a tower controller Top Gun class? This movie is one of series of Tom Cruise films where he plays an asshole, gets a mentor, gets a girlfriend, gets a rival, suffers a tragedy, and gets his mojo and the girl in the end. He also becomes very slightly less of an asshole. See also: Days of Thunder, Cocktail, etc.

[@redringofdeathgamer]

Good. Fair. Funny. Like all your good stuff.

[@paulannable3734]

The bald officer who chews out Maverick must be about 3 feet tall.

[@beatrixwickson8477]

Well, he did stand level with Michael J Fox in BttF.

[@AussieAquatic]

I really should watch this :)

[@matthewsmith2979]

The thing about call signs is that you don't pick them. You earn them, and they're rarely complimentary.

This film has been brought to you by Schweddy Balls

[@whaguitars]

Aww Schweddy Balls.....Fumunda Cheese's cousin.

[@Primus54]

Thank you for that… Mr. Connery! 🤣

[@neesi1570]

This is great, especially in light of JoBlo's new video where he ties himself in knots trying to convince himself that the only people who don't think that this is the Greatest Movie Ever are musty old movie critics. Like you, I didn't sit down and actually watch this until well into adulthood and I remember turning to the person I was sitting with and saying, "This. Is. Terrible!" Sure, it's well shot and edited, but take away thirty five years of nostalgia and it's pure garbage. Oh, and "Take My Goose Away" was the hardest I've laughed all week. Kudos.

[@monotonehell]

I had a dodgy copy of Space Harrier for the Commodore Amiga back in the day. Classic. Never heard of this movie (or its recent sequel) Tom Cruz? Who? Although isn't that Iceman played by Val Kilmer from Real Genius? That was a good movie.

[@Skybird_]

Thats where my pirate Space Harrier went to. Bastards.

[@Primus54]

Talk about a contrast of characters. We get Kelly McGillis as a hot government consultant in 1986’s Top Gun one year after portraying a shy, closeted Amish widow in 1985’s Witness, plus she got to play opposite Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford. Not bad.

[@o0pinkdino0o]

No one ever mentions Tim (Shawshank) Robbins who is Cougar's rear and then Goose's replacement in the final engagement.

[@davidbull7210]

There was a lot of product placement for sweat. I believe that shares in sweat went through the roof after this came out. I started sweating much more when this came out and I'm sure you did too.

[@zetetick395]

80s Kilmer is SOO much better than 90s Kilmer! ....Good grief! @_@ - I can no longer watch *Top Gun* without scenes from *Hot Shots* peeking its head round the door of my suspension of disbelief......Same with *Lethal Weapon* and the joke packed *Loaded Weapon* (which I rewatched recently and was surprised at how well it ribs its targets, surely it's GOTTA have one of the highest 'Jokes per Minute' ratios of any comedy ever....Fkn ace) 😹👍

[@zetetick395]

Surely it should be Captain Picard? 1:26 Good for you for not going for the 'Cpt Kirk ripping Tom Cruise a new one for being 'a slacker' though... 😋_👍

[@thebaccathatchews]

What a coincidence. There's a sequel coming out.

[@justimagine2403]

They all look... so pretty. Time ravages us all.

[@joeschembrie9450]

Great video but "Geez they sure got old" does not apply to Tom Cruz.

[@blackamerican40]

I find it kind of sad that now your arch enemy now has major health issues. Tom's character and Val's character and the actors themselves.

[@Spacklatard]

Apparently, although don't come at me on this USN pilots don't get to pick their own callsigns, they're chosen for them, tbh I'd be fine with Mucus

If ever there was an 80s fever dream. 🎯 If I ever cave in and watch the "Tom Cruise has to prove he's still viable" pandemic version, ironically coming out this Memorial Day weekend, I'm guaranteed to be disappointed from lack of novel youth experience emotional anchoring affect. And because the 80s still sucks.

[@Spudtron98]

God, I fucking hated this movie. I despise 90% of the characters, the plot is shite, and the flying doesn't even look that good. I feel like I must have opposite tastes from the majority or something, because my favourite 80s jet combat movie is actually The Final Countdown, which is a schlocky time travel story. It's not _amazing,_ but it feels kind of like a Star Trek movie at sea and the aerial photography is absolutely fucking fantastic. The whole carrier is important, from the ship itself to the various kinds of aircraft it operates, and even the munitions loaders get a bit part. Plus, actual 20mm Vulcan sounds.

[@Keefymonoped]

Awful film! Great footage of some aeroplanes shoehorned into a dull soap opera of a film. The 80's turned out some great films, this wasn't one of them. I can't even say that my opinion was retrospective, because it's what I thought when I first saw it back in the 80's. Cheesy gung ho rubbish!
