Would have recreated the volleyball scene but by doing so might have ....took my breath away .
Yesterday's video ua-cam.com/video/cm2CcESXFdw/v-deo.html
LOL Playing with the BOYS Kenny Loggins Top Gun! Bodies working overtime! Someone is on your mind! Moving in slow motion it feels so good. ua-cam.com/video/ABavfazPTjo/v-deo.html
Grest job sir,love this
TheDailyWoo - You’d have to get all lubed up to recreate the volleyball shots properly. I doubt that’s your “scene” ;-)
Take my breath away.....away... lol !! Good one Adam !!
TheDailyWoo Slacker to Top Gun LOL
This movie was my wife and I's first date. 32 1/2 years later we are still together.
Haha thats awesome. Me and my wifes 1st date was Hancock (drunken super hero )
sana all
I guess she didn't lose that loving feeling
You guys see the new one together? It was great
👏👏👏👏
I distinctly remember taking my youngest son to see this movie when he was 17. The next few weeks it was obvious he wanted to be a Naval Aviator because every other word was Navy this or Navy that and a few dozen Navy posters showing up on his bedroom walls. Well, when he graduated the following year off to the Navy he went. He passed all the exams and was admitted to Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island when he got his bars from there he was off to Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS) at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida where he received further training on both the F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 Hornet and carrier landings and takeoffs and somewhere during all of that he was also in the Naval Aviation Cadet (NavCad) Program due to the shortage in pilots back then he was finally allowed to attend college for his courses to satisfy his commision in 1994 and got his degree in 1996. I asked him one time if it was anything like the movie. He looked me right in the eye and said "Dad it sucks. The Navy won't let you do anything if you do anything shown in that movie they pull your wings and kick you out." I laughed for hours over that, myself I spend 24 years in the Army, 1946-1948 American Occupation forces Germany, Warrant Officer, and helicopter training 1949-1951, Korea, 1951-1953, 1954-1956. Vietnam 1960-1962, 1964-1965, 1967-1968 then back stateside until given my walking papers in 1970, retired as a Warrant Officer 4 (W-4).
Great story Andrew.
Either your memory/understanding of events is failing you OR you are full of sh*t.
Thank you for your and families service. God bless America!
Ha ha reality sucks....

What an awesome kick straight to the solar plexus of 80s nostalgia combined with a great portion of humor. Thank you so much for sharing this gem.
I love these filming location vids...almost detective-like work matching up the past to the present based on the limited clues available
Brings back so many memories of skipping class during my Junior year in High School to go see Top Gun!!!!!I was obsessed with this movie and was going to enlist in the Navy my senior year but wound up going in the Army 11 BRAVO Airborne at Ft Benning GA.I respect you Adam for taking us all on these memorable journeys back to these classic times in cinematic history.Thank you sir and it's greatly appreciated!!!!.Now it's on to the next video here on the channel...Join.... me....SHALL YOU?
I was there the day they shot the scene on the motorcycle. I have photos. I was recently out of bootcamp and stationed there in school as an enlisted sailor on what had been the Naval Training Center. I was probably coming back from lunch or something, because I would pass that way returning from lunch. They had about three different cycles they used and they were on a small trailer. They also later shot that scene in her car after Goose's death on the same place a few days later. In both scenes was hard to see the actors. The area was taped off to restrict access. Someone told me it was Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis. I had walked down that hallway many times. I remember thinking how dull I thought the base was, and I was surprised they would use it for a scene. The Hollywood movie magic, though, made that hallway look incredible. I probably sat there and watched them do about 3 or 4 takes of the scene before moving on because as anyone knows who has watched movies being made, it's intensely slow and boring.
I was in the Marine Corps 1st Recon in 1986, my wife, daughter, and I lived blocks away. We reenacted the motorcycle kissing scene on my bike at the marina after watching the movie. Oceanside was the laid back hippie area back then, there were all night guitar jam sessions on the beach by campfire fueled with LSD and weed. Really sad to see it bulldozed and turned into just another development. All the charm is gone, as is my wife. Such is life. Thanks for the tour.
Top Gun is one of my all time favorite movies... thank you for this one!! I can’t wait to see the sequel!!
Heck yea
@@TheDailyWoo Fuck yea
My friend and I grew up on this film when we were kids, we are now both 45 and still as thick as thief’s. Even now we still quote top gun phrases to each other mid conversation like it’s an in joke. Reminds us of our great friendship and growing up together..... hope you see this comment Jimmy (aka Goose) !
Dude, you are more entertaining than 10 TV shows. Thanks for who you are and what you do...Mr. Woo. 😃
I was working at NAS Miramar when they started filming. It was exciting!!! Thanks Adam!!
A wonderful facility you were fortunate to be at, and I have fond memories of it too. Are you now in the Navy and/or Blue Angels?
No you weren't.
OMG that's sounds fun and cool ..Do you remember what scenes did you see?
This was such an iconic 80's movie! I loved the jets flying over when you were filming. Great job on all this! I remember I had a Top Gun Nintendo game that I used to think was so realistic!
Adam, A very welcome blast from the past !!! Im from Canada was windsurfing at the time In Buxton North Carolina thats where i saw TOP GUN I will never forget that trip. My GF broke up with me two months before and when i got back I started see another girl who would later become my wife you just never know. The caper is now I'm divorced, retired, no debt and life is GOOD !!! Thank the Lord and pass the ammunition. :)
WOW, you did it again, Adam. This was terrific. TY for doing your homework, the legwork, and the commentary in order to match certain iconic scenes with their locations. NOBODY does this better than you, Adam...👍✔🤗
Thanks for showing these filming locations. Glad they haven’t torn down the house from the movie. I loved that movie and one of my favorite soundtracks! One of the great movies of the 1980s. 👍
Props to the guy at 11:53 for accurately turning his wheels into the curb on a downhill slope as well as the 2 men behind him.
Such an excellent vlog Adam. Thanks for putting in the nice work and sharing with us 🙌🏻
Amazing almost 33 years of this film recreating the locations that has been filmed, i love top gun and thanks for the video.
Thank you for sharing this vlog. It
has taken my brearh away. Rock on
This is one of my best favorites movies... love top gun
I love Top Gun, Thanks for doing this Adam!
I grew up in San Diego. The first time I saw Top Gun was at a small movie theater just north of the navy airfield where the Real Top Gun pilots trained. It was fun to hear some of them talking about the filming of the movie.
Man, this is VERY cool. Really enjoyed the entire video. Thanks for doing this for all the fans!!!
Great movie, a real classic of its time. Love your take on filming locations Adam. I know this one will be great. Thanks for the awesome upload.
Very interesting. Top gun will always be my favorite movie of all time.
What a classic movie. Thanks so much retracing time.
Its the daily woooooo..
Top gun is such a classic..
(Take my breath awaaaayy) dun dun dun dun duuuun
Man i love this channel..
Join me, shall you?
@@EinkOLED I shall..so I can keep up with future endeavors..lol..
Highway to the danger zone !!!
MY WIFE AND I WENT ON A CRUISE (NO PUN INTENDED) AND WE DOCKED RIGHT NEXT TO THE USS MIDWAY, AND WE WALKED AROUND THE STREETS OF SAN DIEGO. I JUST HAPPENED TO COME UPON THIS PLACE. WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THERE. I WALKED IN AND BOUGHT A T-SHIRT. I'M GLAD I GOT TO VISIT.
OH MY GOSH. Adam, I SERIOUSLY just watched Top Gun last night and I was just thinking about the bar they shot the piano scene in. I’ve been in the past. The last time I went they were talking about how they survived the fire. What are the chances! Great timing. Always love your film location shoots!
That's funny . Thanks for watching
TheDailyWoo THANKS for MAKING THEM! Always appreciate the hard work!
One of my all time favorite movies from the 80's. Had a chance to see it in the theater when I was a kid.
Love the detail on these Adam. Appreciate the hard work you put into it.
This is ironic, I just watched Top Gun yesterday. Great vlog as always, love the filming locations!
Amazing. Hope they saved that house. You brought back a lot of good memories. Thanks Adam.
Cinematic history at its best. Thanks, Adam.
Oh my goodness, thanks man for leaving such a detailed introduction! I would definitely hope to visit there later
Your commitment and dedication on these videos are amazing well done on great work .
Thank you for showing this. I was a young child saw the movie with my dad. Involuntarily it correlates with gone back times.
Yay, another filming location video! As a kid, my parents took me to a state-of-the-art shop to see a new fangled device called a laserdisc player. They discussed a purchase as I browsed the titles. Top Gun is the only one I remember vividly!
You never fail Adam. Keep up the good work
Adam, your always fun and interesting to watch. You go to some great places and share memories etc. However, every now and again you pull one out the bag that is quite mind blowing. I am sure different age groups of your channel will find different vlogs more appealing for their own reasons, but for me 1986 was my middle teens, and this film was huge. Just seeing that little blue house brought back so may memories. Fantastic vlog, I know have that song in my head, and I am now going to have to watch the movie again. have a great day Mr Woo.
Great work Adam Woo!
Love movie locations, keep em coming.
"Just walk away." I literally laughed out loud. Funny guy! 😂😂
Wow! Top Gun....you very rarely see vlogs about Top Gun filming locations. Great work, buddy!
Chris the Shrinerdawg and there’s nobody else lining up those impossible screen shots to actual locations. Sometimes I wonder how the hell he finds the most difficult to imagine locations based off the grainiest screen shots
Oh heck yeah! “I feel the need... the need for speed”
Classic stuff
Tampa Jay Honestly This a great example why I love the Woo.
METH?
Cheesey'ist line ever !!!
I love this video. Brings back memories of watching it all the time with my high school boyfriend.
You are amazing at finding the exact locations from all of these movies.
It's a fun challenge
I grew up in Oceanside in the late eighties to late nineties and they have been talking about repairing the top gun house long as I can remember
I lived on base near Oceanside 1992 &1993. Been to the house and pier.
EDventures * I lived off of mission in a neighborhood called “posole” on puls st. I went to south O and lots of kids there lived on base
@@noneoftheeabove8514 That's great, I was 20 and 21 when I was stationed there
Shaking my head and grinning @ Adam's rendition 😄😄😄😄
Very cool vlog! *OMG.. I was in jr high, nudging my sister during that "awkward" kissing scene because my parents took us! 🙈 We were so embarrassed, lol!
The best (of the best) 80's movies EVER :)
One of my favorite movies ever, I was lucky enough to see this in person years ago.
You should visit the filming locations of Cocktail...
For the morbidly curious, just down the beach from the Top Gun house is Junior Seau's house where he unfortunately took his own life 😮
Oceanside is also where Anissa Jones, Buffy on Family Affair overdosed
This created a whole lot of nostalgia!!!
My favorite woo videos. Thanks, Adam.
I love this!!! I've seen Top Gun so many times because it is my Mom's favorite movie of all time... Great video but you missed one key location, the volleyball scene!
that scene was filmed on base built the court filmed the scene and tore in down
Great movie location tour, Adam. Nobody has covered Top Gun like you have! I'd love to see more movie location vlogs like this, and less of the theme park vids, but that's just me. Thanks again Adam!!!! :-p
So awesome. Seeing Anthony Edwards go from Geek to Chic at the time was mind blowing.
dude you are HILARIOUS!!! you're so perfect for this. thumbs up man!!!
Adam, you can be my wing man any time
That's right, comm onnnnnn.
Talk to me Adam. Talk to me Adam. (Sweating nervously)
I love Top Gun! I started singing “Take My Breath Away” too right as I saw this. :-) I literally gasped a few days ago when I saw Tom Cruise in the flight suit doing a promo for “Maverick!” Can’t wait! Another great movie location video from you Adam, love it! :-)
I heard the new movie got pushed back a bit
After the sequel is out even more film shoots ;)
I love all these filming location videos👍
CLASSIC WOO !! This is a Perfect example why I love love love your channel Adam. Great work amigo....great work !!
Great video! But they always are great.
Pauline Reeves I do agree!
top gun is my favorite movie
I just came upon this. I am a native San Diegian but in 1986 I was in the Philippines with my Navy husband. I got to see this with a bunch of Navy airmen from Cubi NAB. It was quite the experience. Nice work Adam. 😎
These are my all time favorite videos that you make all mighty Woo. Thanks
love the intro
Dang it Woo! I am gonna have Take My Breath Away stuck in my head now all day!
Ha same
@@TheDailyWoo Geez this song has become a real earworm for me today! I've been watching an Elvis movie marathon in honor of The King's bday & not even the songs from Blue Hawaii have been able to knock Berlin out of my head! 😂
I had, and still have the Top Gun soundtrack LP.
I was stationed on Camp Pend in the late 80's. This brought back lots of memories. Very pleasant to watch, thank you. Good job.
THE DAILY WOO!!
awesome job! You should do CHiPs locations.
Great, I admit that the location where Goose played the piano was a blast from the past.
Thank you!
Great video Adam! This was one of my all time favorites growing up.
love it
Great video but you forgot to drive to vipers house at point loma lighthouse. Just a few miles from downtown san diego.
Born and raised here in San Diego we have beautiful beaches and tons of history, new top gun is also being filmed here in Diego again
Cool to see these locations..
Topgun was and is one of my favorite movie...😉👍🏼🎬📽
People used to park their motorcycles in front of The Top Gun House and take a picture of it...
I can imagine . Would be cool to ride up in front of there on one
@@TheDailyWoo 😎👍
I guess like time it moves forward and that era is lost in time....
@@timexironman100m Like the sands of an hourglass....
I was skeptical that any interior scenes were filmed at that house. I figured they would have been shot on the studio lot, in a recreated setting. I also thought the cozy lattice-walled enclave with the wicker furniture was filmed elsewhere, not believing there was enough space around the house for that setting. Thanks for pointing out some details which cleared things up.
I was stationed on board the USS Ranger when they were filming Top Gun for the interior ship shots. I bumped into Tom Cruise, but had no idea who he was at the time. He was in a flight suit, with Val Kilmer behind him. I thought he was one of our pilots. Buddy of mine recognized him from Risky Business. Best recruiting movie for the Navy ever! The USS Ranger has been scrapped. No more flyby’s for Maverick!
This was so cool. Tom Cruise is a TOP celebrity in my book. 👍
Days Of Thunder filming locations needs to happen!!!!!!
The barn is still in Charlotte but its definitely getting old these days 😞
That would be a fun one
I live right down the road from the barn!
BrendanTheGent Thats awesome!! I was lucky enough to visit it when I was in the area for the ROVAL race.. Im a huge fan of Days of Thunder lol
@@InfieldIke i need to film it for youtube. Before anything happens to it.
Haha i was at the Roval race also.
hey adam you forgot "miramar navel base" that was in top gun
base is still an active installation (MCAS Miramar ) cant access it being civilian the only place open to the public is liberty station
@@chriswells9859 not so when someone like me who has family who is military and works for the government furthermore I happen to hold information on things not even you or anyone else knows
This is one of my fave all time classics! Thanks for the memories! You always do bring a tickle to my funny bone!!! Now that song will b stuck in my head too! 😂
Nice job Adam!! Thanks for putting that together. Well done Woo!!
Woo! Woo!
Another awesome video 👍🏼
about Charlie’s house it makes me angry that everything is so over developed that they ruined that area they should’ve not ruined that area and demolished the surrounding bungalows it also makes me very sad that this society doesn’t value anything classic/historic because we loose out on so much beauty because people just don’t care anymore. 😢
You'll really ROLL your eyes if you see what they did with the cottage. Well, in all fairness it's good and bad. First they MOVED it from that location to down the street a bit to accommodate for said hotels. But they remodeled nicely and now it's a PIE shop! LOL, and there's a replica of Maverick's motorcycle parked in front which is always inundated with tourists. Da da da da daah da daahh. hahahahaha
@@markirons3838 I know and I am upset, they aught to have refurbished it to exactly what it was like in the movie… It’s sad and aggravating all at once!
Great video of movie history !! Now we wait for part 2
At the end Adam sounds like Peter Griffin humming the Top Gun(Take My Breath Away) theme. LOL
you have waited for 34 years to make that video LOL
been there, USMC 1986-1991
Was in Desert Shield/Storm with the 13th Meu .Blt.1/4 .
Semper Fi brother
No you haven't.
@@JasonBournewrong What makes you think that? you don't know.
This is awesome . Thank you Adam for finding this
This movie was released 36 years ago , I am watching this video today on the 20 June 2022 in India I was astonished with how still in the United States of America and memories of Top Gun is still alive ? It came to India the same year. I saw the film I was probably 14 years old now I am 50 years old and so on … well the making and the star cast was amazing back then and is amazing now I still have to go and watch the sequel.. I don’t know that the sequel will be remembered for 36 years..but the original 1986 Top Gun will never ever die … it will always be in the hearts and mind of people across the globe and generations will talk about it I am sure they are talking about it even now ..
Talk to me, Woo
You were number 2.. but he turned in his wings now your going to TopGun !!!
I like how Viper and Charlie both have beach houses. I guess in the movies, everyone who lives in So Cal, lives on the beach.
On their money, yes :)
Awesome job Adam! I had a visit to that BBQ bar in the early 90's! Thanks for sharing all of this. A little walk down memory lane for sure!
I went to that bar in 1986 or '87; I was on a business trip and just out driving around after work one day, and saw a sign that said something like, "Scene of the Sleazy Bar Scene in Top Gun", so I had to stop in and check it out. It was pretty much just like the movie; very cool place. (I don't remember the patio and wall out front, but it's been at least 35 years ago.)
My all time favourite movie, thank you so much Adam!
