For posters like this guy who are bagging on the movie, I feel it’s important to describe the importance of the original Top Gun movie to this country. And apologize for the novel, but I’d like to sha

The people who were upset when I wore an SS uniform to a Schindler’s List screening in 1993 owe me an apology.

It's perfectly okay for you to think this movie was "mediocre". You said it yourself: you were born in the 80's, which means it's impossible for you to understand the context of the original, and ther

It will be funny when Maverick gets Goose's son killed too.

Also, even if Meg Ryan was pregnant in the original, wouldn't that kid be like 35 now? 

 

Yeah and he'd still look older than TC

I'd pay $20 to watch a 2-hour documentary about the making of the movie, and still come away plenty satisfied.

Gonna watch the original with my boys just before taking 'em to the Imax for this one...

Showed this on the big screen before Star Wars, plus the final trailer.  There were 6 of us in a row and my daughter (no pics) looked down the row at me after she saw this and just said.  We are going to see that.  My internal response was fuck yeah we are!!!

They’re using 2 seater training hornets. But I think I read that tom learned to fly it. 

They might've put him in a simulator, but there is no way he was taught to fly a hornet.  He could've taken the stick in the backseat of a two-seater instructor version and pulled off a couple of barrel rolls, then told everyone that he knows how to fly it, but that's about the extent of it (as far as I can see).

Correct.  Civilians aren't allowed to fly government equipment, so while he reportedly got "jet pilot" certified (whatever that means or entails), he won't be flying the F/A-18's Super Hornets on his own (or maybe at all).  It's been rumored he'll fly other jets retro fitted to look like them or older versions.

For other folks:

Quote

Second, civilians are not allowed to use government equipment, particularly militarized jets — so even Tom Cruise can’t just take off in an F/A-18 Hornet, even if he does feel the need, the need for speed. (I know, we’re a bit bummed about that too).

However, Cruise, a licensed pilot, has gone through extensive training for the film and will do some of his own flying “in certain aircrafts.”

So Cruise will personally fly aircraft in the film, which is still in production, he just won’t be, you know, landing a fighter jet on a carrier deck for added realism. So Cruise’s stunt participation will be as awesome as possible without breaking U.S. military law.
