Film Top Gun - Maverick

The first one is an absolutely horrendous film. Nothing happens and Tom Cruise follows a woman into the toilet. Then there’s an hour of the steel mill scene from the Simpsons. Nostalgia rots your brains guys.
Blasphemy - love the first movie!

Have owned it on pretty much every format - it was the first movie I bought on VHS and have gone through DVD, LaserDisc, Blu-Ray and various digital formats :)

Love the new trailer and can't wait!

Look, just because some of the scenes included a bunch of greased up men half naked in toilets followed by a montage of equally half naked greased up men on a volleyball court to a song called "playing with the boys" leading to young Mockney getting a half chubby and questioning his sexual preferences, doesn't give you a right to call grandpa simpson a communist.

Wtf are you on? The first one was brilliant. Espionage, double crossing and Jon Voight is a fantastic villain.

No wait, shit. That was Mission Impossible.
 
Don't think one of those bad boys has been flown since the early 90's, but why the feck not.


FYI - Greatest fight pilot story ever

Great thing about the first movie is it really hasn't aged that badly. There's very little dialogue and its extremely basic. You could literally remake the thing tomorrow exactly the same with updated CGI and camera work and it would blow box office records.


I'm not sure any movie has yet topped the camera work of Top Gun?
 
Cant wait. Absolutely buzzing. Just watched the first one again this week after a number of years. It still stands the test of time. You cannot beat movies that were made in the 80's. The soundtracks were epic.
 
33 years since the original! Hard to believe. It’s my sons favourite film so he’s deffo going to watch the sequel in the theater. Hopefully he’ll want me to join him.

Btw, in that trailer Tom Cruise looks great. I’m considering going into Scientology to see if that can help me age as well.
 
New trailer out. I can't remember the last time i looked forward to a film as much as this.

I feel like CGI might ruin this film if they go too over the top. What was great about the first is that they actually had to go out and take actual footage of actual planes, doing actual plane things.

I also feel that this film is going to be centered around Goose's son. There's defo a young Anthony Edwards look alike floating around in there. Wonder if Meg Ryan is going to make a cameo?

Tom Cruise has already said he had another go in the planes to film it. Whether the Navy let all the other actors go up in them i don't know. i hope so. No amount of acting skill can simulate that.
 
Kenny Loggins confirmed that he's working on recreating "Danger Zone" for this movie. He wasn't going to do it, but then Cruise talked him into doing it, "because you have to, Kenny!". That being said, Kenny said he's not going to sing it. He's going to produce the re-write of the track and bring in a group of his choice to perform it.
 
Of all the endless gratuitous nostalgia remakes of things from the late 20th century that have essentially defined early 21st century media, I can’t get my head around anyone not super-into the lazier ended of performatively plotted late 90s gay porn being in anyway excited by the prospect of reviving this incredibly camp and dated plotless property...

But the fact that a lot of the kind of wannabe macho people who are excited by it, seem largely completely unaware of how ridiculously gay and awful it is, is almost worth the potentially amazing prospective car crash.

You go chase that sexy rainbow boys!

Bastille with a shitty John Lewis style mashup with The Heat Is On confirmed.

It was made during the Cold War when tensions with Russia were running high. I fail to see how it's not relevant now.

Plus it has planes and shit in it. Nneeeeeeeeeeee-oooooowwwwwww

I dont often agree with Pigeon on anything... personally I wouldn't mind wiping his lifeless feathery body off my windscreen, but pretty much this. Fighter jets are fecking cool. Lets just hope that Pigeon ends up through the turbines in one.
 
I stand corrected guys! And I’m delighted that there’s such an unashamedly woke and progressive audience for the new bang bang Macho army plane film remake from the defacto leader of a super weird alien cult that was awful to begin with!

If only the weirdo Gen X dickeads who objected to putting women in Star Wars and Ghostbusters were as unprecious and well adjusted as you lot!

Here’s to a future franchise of explicitly unjudgemental pan-sexual airplane based love stories!

Makes you realise just how big the Tom Cat was. The Super Hornet which Cruise is standing in front of (noted for square air intakes not the curved almost half mooned original) was the direct replacement. It's virtually 2/3 the size and thats before the F-14 has the wings fully extended (note picture above is in oversweep).

Hey, I object to that. The Ghostbusters remake and the original Top Gun are equally shit. I'm just glad that gay planes can finally star in their own movie without bigoted feckers like you trying to keep them grounded.
 
You're welcome in my cockpit, Pidgey.

I apologise profusely monsieur Pidg!... it seems I have grossly misinterpreted the target audience as solely the preserve of insecure angry emasculated early middle aged white males who have amusingly misinterpreted the subtext of this plotless homoerotic noise-fest as little more than “men good ‘cos planes fast!”... when in fact there’s a whole ironically self deprecating crowd of much more well adjusted peeps who appreciate it's awfulness on a semi-reasonable post modern ironic level, too!

It all makes a lot more sense now.... particularly that bit where he follows a girl into the toilet.

bite bite bite bite bite bite bite!

You failed to mention that there's a strong empahsis in the movie on the rear of the plane to enhance the homerotic themes and to further empahsis "planes fast".

The jokes on you because I don't understand half of those words.
 
Nerd who would happily appear in a shirtless beach volleyball competition slathered in baby oil for the chance to hit Mach 2 in one of those bad boys.... dont pretend like you wouldnt suck a couple of pan handles for it.

All day long! As I boy I loved these things, was taken to all the air shows (highlight seeing an sr-71 take off and fly around) and have sat in a COCKpit (giggity for Mockers) of most of the older planes including a Tomcat :drool:
