I really enjoyed the sequel but only because the aerial cinematography is so immersive. For tension and character building the first is in a league of it's own. Tony Scott achieved a level of drama and era defining coolness with his shooting and editing signature that no amount of cockpit mounted scenes can replicate. Top Gun is a stone cold classic.

My late father was an F-4 pilot and flew 210 missions over Vietnam. I once asked him if he ever had an interest in landing on a carrier. He replied, “Oh hell no!"

[@BillClay88]

My cousin flew these. He said landing on a carrier at night with rain and violent crosswinds .. there's nothing more difficult and intense. Probably biggest difference between air force and navy. But a lot of navy pilots don't have softest touch landing on airfields. I find they hard to believe.

[@TH3PLA1NP1L0T]

I personally think that 6:40 until the part where Cougar lands is a great scene because the background music really gets the mood of how scared he feels after the enemy aircraft had screwed him up. Especially the scene where it cuts to a photo of his wife and child and back at him, it shows what he’s fighting for and what he’s sacrificing

[@CountArtha]

3:04 I never noticed this, but it's a great establishing character moment. Not two seconds after Maverick hears there is only one MiG, he immediately wants to merge with the guy and he tells Cougar as much - but the uncertainty in his voice suggests he wants a second opinion from a cooler-headed pilot, which Cougar provides. *"Take it easy, Maverick...."*

[@pepide01]

it was unintentionally a character-defining moment, but i see your point. Maverick is headstrong, but not reckless. I hear the pause in his delivery as he defers to Cougar.. (who the Skipper later says "was" Number One. Interesting point-out!

No -- its when Cougar rips off his face mask 😆 You're hyperventilating with (most likely) 100% O2 and a pressurized delivery system. Solution? Rip off your mask and breathe low pressure/low oxygen air! Brilliant!!

[@BradyBaseball13]

@@mlaprarie you know hyperventilation gets worse you have too much oxygen in your system right? The solution to fix hyperventilating there would be to reduce your oxygen and try to get more carbon dioxide in your lungs.

Some of these scenes were filmed on the USS Ranger CVA-61, my former ship. (1974-1978) I really enjoyed watching the scenes in CIC and on the Bridge because I was a radarman.

Maverick: "We had enough fun today don't you think?" Cougar: "....."

I watched nearly 2 minutes of this, assuming it was the new Top Gun because it showed up in my recommended and I don't fully read titles, thinking "wow, they really made this look like an 80's movie"

For those that are interested in Top Gun you need to read Dan Peterson’s book “Top Gun”. He is the founder of the school and it is an amazing book. This movie is glam compared to what it was really like. The book is exciting to read about his life in the cockpit

[@tedhernandez2394]

I read the book many years ago. Yes is is a great read. I wish they had a movie about the A-10 Warthog. Now that is flying by the seat of your pants!

I thought the scene w/ Merlin cracking under the stress was one of the most tense scene's I've ever seen, Faltermeyer's track in the background really puts the tension to an 11, Scott's filming techniques in this scene really makes you feel like YOU are following the glide path in, very nerve racking stuff, give you a taste of what these guys actually have to overcome to get back to their families.

To be honest, I wish this movie had more of that stuff. The Maverick/Charlie love stuff kinda ruins the movie for me. I find The Final Countdown to be more enjoyable surprisingly, although I prefer the Top Gun Soundtrack.
