I think "Top Gun 3" is inevitable --- TG 2 is gonna make serious bank at the box office --- there will be insane demand for another movie ---- and Cruise changed his mind about sequels when he started making all those MI movies --- so yeah, he's definitely up for a third TG flick!
The reason Maverick is only a Captain ( full Colonel equivalent) while his peers are 2 star Admirals is simple. Admirals don’t fly fighters, they fly desks. Maverick would never fly a desk, he would retire. At the age he is now, he’s definitely writing check his body can’t cash.
Is this scenario similar to an former champion F1 racing driver coming back and racing decades later, even doing similar activities and exercises in those off years?
exactly, i watched the original on netflix so it was by no means a childhood memory but i still felt a wave of nostalgia and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face
Maverick could Only be played by Tom Cruise! The guy who refused the offer because he thinks Top Gun is jingoistic would have been a failure. He knows it and we know so let's cut the crap. What's his name can fly dogshit out of Hong Kong! Lol..Tom Cruise is Maverick and Maverick is Tom Cruise! End of story.
Saw it on Memorial Day with my wife on our date night. The place was sold out, we bought online early. I liked the original, I loved the the sequel. Worth the wait it did NOT disappoint. Thinking about going again!! Oh we saw it on IMAX it was worth a few more buck for this film.
I seriously can not even fathom Matthew Modine as Lt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. EVER. No...just NO. Top Gun would have never had the success it did without Tom Cruise. The chemistry on screen between Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, Rick Rossovich, Tom Skerritt, Michael Ironside, Tim Robbins, Clarence Gilyard and Meg Ryan made that movie!!! We've been waiting 36, not 32, but 36 long ass years for this! In no way was Top Gun a Right Wing Navy movie. Good grief. ~ APRIL LIPKE
I find the issue of Mav being just a Captain to be a contrived issue as presented in the movie, but there is a deeper matter to consider. I left the Air Force after 5 years as a Captain. Yet Mav was a still a Captain after how many years? What gives? No need for concern. Note that a Captain in the Air Force, Army and Marines is an O-3 the same as a Lieutenant in the Navy (Mav's rank in the previous movie). A Captain in the Navy is an O-6 the same as a full bird Colonel in the Air Force. If you are an O-6 you are considered to be a very high rank with significant authority and importance. The O-6 rank is not easy to achieve and I came into contact some extremely impressive Colonels in the Air Force. To become a flag rank of a General or Admiral is very rare and often involves some politicking or political connections. Navy Captains and Air Force Colonels are very hands on. They command ships, bases, wings and brigades. They can be responsible for from 1,000 to over 5,500 personnel. So if you are curious a to why Mav is still just a Captain it is most likely he either didn't kiss enough backside, pissed someone off, or was more focused on actually accomplishing something. A perfect real world example is Colonel John Richard Boyd of the Air Force. His story can be found in the book "Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War" by Robert Coram. It is a great read. Boyd used to remark that you can either become someone (high rank) or can do something (accomplish something important). But you can't do both. (For those who are interested there are a few U-Tube videos on Colonel Boyd.)
Don't people in the military get demoted when they screw up? . . . When they don't follow orders, or break rules? Maverick is known for such things, so I don't know why it would be difficult to explain his relatively low rank. Or couldn't they get demoted or held back if their commanding officer hates them? . . . Personality conflicts.
@@chadodom1693 It's a low rank, considering how long he has been in the Navy. They even made a point of that in the movie. Yeah, if he was higher ranking, they would put him behind a desk, and your point is?
I have worked with the military 30+ years. I have met lowly first lieutenants who were some of the most poised individuals I have ever met to Lt Commanders who were in charge of nuclear ballistic middle submarines and a bird colonel working Red Flag. I always came away impressed and humble that they took the time to talk to me.
So in the first Top Gun, Pete Mitchell was a Lieutenant, Now he is a Captain. In the Navy that means he went from Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander, Commander, and then Captain. Captain in the Navy is the same as Colonel in other branches, so Captain is not bad.
Only CGI is any Tomcat scenes. There are none in operational condition, sadly. Beautiful machine. Dominant craft of its era and the wing design made it the most unique air superiority fighter that didn’t rely on stealth.
I saw the movie today and I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. I wonder if more Top Gun movies will be made?, This was indeed one of the year's best movies.
The untold truth; ITS A DAMN GOOD MOVIE. Stop; trying to EXPLAIN everything and go see it and ENJOY IT, and of course there will be a sequel. Paramount is starving for success.
He's obviously only a Captain because he's been busted down in rank for getting in trouble, he could retire but he chooses to stay.. much to the chagrin of his superiors.
Officers don’t get busted like enlisted. If they do something that serious, they are usually asked to resign their commission or are simply “dismissed” from the service, and that can only be done at a court martial. No NJP for officers, either. In the real Navy, Pete Mitchell wouldn’t have been on the first mission in the first film. He would have been dismissed or would have had to resign his commission after the first or second tower buzz. The Navy officer corps doesn’t play with non conformists.
Looper "bigger and faster jets" Me, the F/A-18E/F are smaller and slower than the F-14. Actually aside from the hypersonic plane, the F-14 is the fastest plane in the movie.
Contrary to popular belief, Maverick was a Lieutenant in the first Top Gun so when Ed Harris said that he never got a promotion, That was incorrect cause he was promoted 3 times…He just never made Admiral.
LT Mitchell accepted a downgrade of rank (to LTJG) in order to enter the Navy's Law Education Program, so that he could become a lawyer and prosecute USMC COL Nathan Jessup following the fatal incident at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. After finding out what the inside of a courtroom looks like, he re-applied for the Naval Aviation program and went F/A-18s, and apparently attended Test Pilot School.

Or...Maverick just pissed off many in the chain of command and they refuse him promotion during the selection boards. However, a Navy Captain (Colonel O6 in the Army or Marine Corps) can serve over 30 years until mandatory retirement but most retired at 30 years of service since retirement pay tops at 30 years and 3/4 of active duty pay (a nice piece of change). Anyway, very few officers get to be O-6's and from that pool even less get to be of flag rank (there is also a lot of political maneuvering involved). Retirement at the Navy Captain rank is to be admired since Maverick was at a rank that qualified him to command air groups, or an aircraft carrier but an officer may not want to be admiral because of the type of jobs he may prefer. Combat or test pilot beats being a desk jokey for most and being a staff officer at high levels is a most for further promotion but a fighter pilot of Maverick's psychological disposition would shun such duty which would further piss higher rank personnel.
A Great movie is a great movie whether it’s politics or not, we need to support American 🇺🇸 great movie…. Love this movie, I saw it twice and worth every penny of it !
Watch one of his newer/ current interviews. He explains some stuff concerning the movie and the only way he would consider doing this new top gun. Also how and where they trained since they are actually in the air quite a bit in this one. You can do a search and pull them up. I really was not to interested in this movie until I saw who they worked with and all the actors went through to prepare. I have not seen it yet,but I do plan on it now. Look up how they trained. It gave me respect for them all.
Regarding dustup about a Navy Captain version of Maverick in today's world/this movie. Every rule has its exceptions. Mandatory retirement dates...like the 30 years of service for 0-6s (Navy Captains or other Services' Colonels)...can be overridden by exceptions due to the unique qualifications of the individual. Essentially, if the person is still capable of doing the job, that few or no others can do, then the Service may grant a waver to the mandatory retirement rule. That being said...Top Gun was 1986, and Maverick was a Navy Lieutenant (other service's Captain), which means he would have been a butter bar (Navy Ensign, other Services' Second Lieutenant) around 1980-1982ish. This means Maverick's 30 of service would be 2010-2012 ish...not 2021 or 2022. This also applies to Iceman being a Flag officer. He's too old, too, if you follow the timeline established by the release date of the movies. But seriously, if you are watching the movie, and concerned about the real-world retirement system...you must really not like flying.
That's disputed, Cunningham thinks he's the one. But there are others who fit the bill more. Cunningham was a said to be a bit of a self promoting piece of work.
Who caresbif it was not suppose to be Cruise.ITS is MOVE ON.This movie is fucking AWESOME.There is absolutly nothing wrong with it.Looper is always there to nit pick. AGAIN Who cares how he was cast.He was in it then and is now.This is nonsense.
The Top Gun sequel stars Tom Cruise 30+ years after the original is the reason for Maverick's age and rank. There are no active duty Navy Captains pushing 60 in real life. If we were going to nitpick about career progression, Maverick starts the original Top Gun with 5 unauthorized fly-bys. In real life, he would have been canned after the second one.
Only reason he didn't get kicked out is because Viper kept him in He probably owed his life to Duke Mitchell back in Vietnam He didn't let the Tower guy catch Maverick even though he was in front of him Just got scolded Spoiler for Top Gun Maverick . . . . . . When Iceman became an Admiral he kept bailing Maverick out of trouble too many times It's no wonder he managed to stay
Why does no-one raise the question of Rooster's age? He should be near 40 right now. He was kindergarten - to - 7 when Goose died and 30 years later he is in his 20s....
Nah, he was like 3-4 years old in 1986, and movie was filmed in 2018, so he can be around 37 yo. In the movie they don't specify the year, so it could happen a bit earlier. Also in movie they said Maverick pulled out Rooster's papers from academy, pushing him 4 years back, which makes him probably older, than others. Also Admiral says 30+ years of duty for Maverick. In the beginning of first Top Gun he was already a LT, 24 yo, meaning he was on duty for a while. So, maybe the time difference between two movie timelines is a bit smaller, than 30 years.
@@creativebodyflying still - even in most lenient interpretation - 26 isn't 35... I guess the makers must have thought that with such a good story nobody would really care about those tiny discrepancies. And it seems they were right. 👍😄
Well I have been writing my own fanfiction for 22 years now and I already had written a fanfiction for Top Gun Maverick the minute I saw the movie on June 7th I called it Top Gun legacy or Top Gun legacies I have all the new characters and I also write my own fanfiction like I said so I just had the same main character I've had since then just travel to all sorts of different TV shows that I love so right now I brought over the top gun characters to my fan fiction as well.💖 So far I have seen top gun Maverick four times June 7th June 10th June 14th June 21st and I don't care anybody says each time I see it I saw uncontrollably at certain scenes especially when I see Maverick and Rooster hugging.
While watching this movie, I saw a remake of Star Wars. The jet fighters sequences were a carbon copy of the climatic ending scene to destroy the death star with the Millenium Falcon and Imperial TIE Fighters of which Darth Vader was at the helm of one.
Ok, y'all. Here is the thing that I can't even over; Maverick is a fictional character, which means nothing about him is, by definition, truthful. He is made up, pretend, not real. I do know that fictional characters can PORTRAY truth, and even teach powerful lessons about truth, but the character himself has no "untold truth" the way the video is presenting it. He is not real.
I wish the movie would show the fact that the pilots couldn't do all that "pilot ****" without us techs. As the saying goes, we owned the planes, the pilots just played with them.
Check out the comment by the Top Gun instructor at the 3:50 mark. I don't know that guy, he's either really funny or incredibly dense. How about Doctors who know how to put your broken bodies back together. How about engineers who know how build that thing your flying in. Or cops who go to work everyday with a little badge pinned on their front and a big target on their back or fireman who do so much more than put out fires I don't want to start listing any because I know there are fireman out there who will say, " why didn't you mention this or that"? I know I was a fireman for 34 years of my life. There are so many professions out there that my life more enjoyable. I'm to old to go through life thinking foolish things like that Top Gun instructor. But even if I did think it I wouldn't open my mouth and say it.
The P-51D Mustang is actually owned by him. I am 99.9% sure he had the fellows out at stallion 51 in Kissimmee, Florida. Track down and locate a very beautiful well kept up up P-51 Mustang. That's part of one of their services that they do. And also you can get certification for your ratings to fly the P51 Mustang Crazy Horse" with Mr.. Pete Lauterbach with his dual control TF-51D Mustang group. Along with the pilot maker before you get the chance to take the trolls of the Mustang. You would have to master the North American at-6 Texan/ SNJ / Harvard. I was blessed to have a AT-6 Harvard MK-II growing up in the early 1980s. But here's their website information to take a look at what packages they have to offer. That way one day you can fulfill your wildest dreams. And be able to take up awesome beautiful screaming supercharged V12 through the central Florida Skies.
6:29 There were no drones use or shown in the film. Sounds like you guys started making this video before you could even watch the film. You took a chance and were wrong.
Oh yes she's a beautiful person.wings and all.and he has very very beautiful ears too,also forced actually.but was so cute.and he was able to hear things better
Cruise wasn't allowed any stick time in a F-18 Super Hornet? Wanna bet? Things happen ""Off the books"" all the time. Cruise may tell the story in 15-20 years....Or maybe never. And, of course I am probably completely wrong.
I'm confused. On the one hand you say that the Navy wouldn't let Cruise fly the F-18's so they were flown by Navy pilots. On the other hand you say that they placed cameras in the F-18's, Cruise said that he didn't know any other way to make the movie without putting the actors in the F-18's, and that one of the selling points to convince Tom to do the film was that the actors would actually be in the F-18's. How could the actors be in the F-18's and not be flying them?
Have you seen the original? Navy planes have a pilot and a RIO (Radar Intercept Officer) which Goose was. So most F/A-18s are two seaters just like the F-14s they replaced.
F-A/18F is a two-seater version of Super Hornet....Tom and other actors flew on the backseat of F-A/18F Super Hornets and they choreographed the scenes in such a way that it looks like they are flying in front seat.
F/A-18E and F E is for 1 seater F is for 2 seater A, B, C, D, E, F You can guess which is 1 seat and 2 seat from the alphabets With the exception of G because it's a 2 seat type
Tom Cruise asked to fly the F-18 but the Navy refused. I guess he will have to officially join the Navy. Also, because the cost of one plane is around 80 million. The insurance companies will not allow it.
They should have made a prequel instead about mavericks dad and a younger version of viper. That would have made a great movie. Sequels are never as good as the originals.
@@lukebuchwald9252 Then there wouldn't have been this sequel in 2021/22, because he would have been drummed out, possibly after a period of incarceration. Integrity in a Services situation of any nation may mean refusing to obey orders that are questionable on moral or legal grounds; it can also mean respecting the chain of command and doing whatever whenever.
Not if he was flying in an Tomcat squadron, we didnt carry air to ground ordnance back then (cept for 20mm fir the M-61A),. We did air cover near the area tho. Its was a turkey shoot...
Top Gun (1986) was full of cinematic nonsense (artistic license): wrong use of the word 'bogey', inaccurate portrayal of the 'hostile' aircraft which were just F5s not Sukhoi, flying upside down over another jet (rubbish), etc. There's a video out there about all the other inaccuracies. It was really just an action flick but it ended up inspiring so many to the naval aviation services. Call-signs for naval aviators also differ from the air force. The re-shoot scenes (lift scene) sort of stood out as Kelly McGillis looked different.
It's a movie you boob. In 1986 I dont think the USSR were going to part with MIGs or Sukhois for us to use. A4s arent dogfighters either. Its entertainment, not a documentary. 🙄
As Bio, Bozo, Jambo, Smegs were told by Simpson and Scott, It's a movie not a documentary, still the Navy technical advisors Smegs and Bio were able to add to the movie, all of the dialog said by the actors while their masks were on were provided by Smegs and Bio.
The original movie was based on a true life story at the urgings of Chuck Yeager. This was after I had urged moviemakers to make the mov ie The Right Stuff. He didn't tell me about the Maverick movie until after it's release. The 2nd movie does not have any basis in reality and is purely Fictional. I have no idea of who Pete Mitchell is or was. My call sign in the Navy was Maverick. The name I used while serving on special assignment in the Navy was Ritt Read.
Do you think they will continue with Tom Cruise's Pete "Maverick" Mitchell in any more films?
I think "Top Gun 3" is inevitable --- TG 2 is gonna make serious bank at the box office --- there will be insane demand for another movie ---- and Cruise changed his mind about sequels when he started making all those MI movies --- so yeah, he's definitely up for a third TG flick!
Guys, he was a LT in the first movie, so…how can he “still be a CAPT?” He obviously promoted to LCDR, and then CDR prior. Get it together.
Pete Mitchell will have accept promotion to Admiral for a sequel to happen.
@@williamroberts8768 That's a possibility, but I don't see him flying at that point. Admirals don't fly jets.
I think an interesting take for future movies might be a prequel. More focused Mavericks father who was MIA.
The reason Maverick is only a Captain ( full Colonel equivalent) while his peers are 2 star Admirals is simple. Admirals don’t fly fighters, they fly desks. Maverick would never fly a desk, he would retire. At the age he is now, he’s definitely writing check his body can’t cash.

exactly, the g forces make you age faster ;) it was nice to see Ice as a commander of a fleet
.n9
It yet again proves that Maverick is a better pilot than Iceman --- Ice became a desk jockey and Mav wanted to remain a flying ace!
Why he flew f18 and no f22 or f35?
I saw it today. In expected Tom Cruise fashion, the movie did not disappoint. The references made to the original story were threaded in brilliantly.

Retirement at the Navy Captain rank is to be admired since Maverick was at a rank that qualified him to command air groups, or an aircraft carrier but an officer may not want to be admiral because of the type of jobs he may prefer. Combat or test pilot beats being a desk jokey for most and being a staff officer at high levels is a most for further promotion but a fighter pilot of Maverick's psychological disposition would shun such duty which would further piss higher rank personnel.
The Commander Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic and the Commander Strike Fighter Wing Pacific are both Captains with 24 years in service.
Don't you get 100% of your last base salary if you reach 40 years of service? I think so.
Iceman kept bailing him out of trouble
@@guts-141 I think that was the deal. His superiors refused to promote him to Admiral but Iceman kept him from getting kicked out of the Navy.
A Great movie is a great movie whether it’s politics or not, we need to support American 🇺🇸 great movie…. Love this movie, I saw it twice and worth every penny of it !
Watch one of his newer/ current interviews. He explains some stuff concerning the movie and the only way he would consider doing this new top gun. Also how and where they trained since they are actually in the air quite a bit in this one. You can do a search and pull them up. I really was not to interested in this movie until I saw who they worked with and all the actors went through to prepare. I have not seen it yet,but I do plan on it now. Look up how they trained. It gave me respect for them all.
I love this movie topgun and cant wait to see the new one
It was amazing
I had know idea Tony and Ridley Scott were brothers. Both brilliant in their own right
Tom Cruise is the last true movie star.
Regarding dustup about a Navy Captain version of Maverick in today's world/this movie. Every rule has its exceptions. Mandatory retirement dates...like the 30 years of service for 0-6s (Navy Captains or other Services' Colonels)...can be overridden by exceptions due to the unique qualifications of the individual. Essentially, if the person is still capable of doing the job, that few or no others can do, then the Service may grant a waver to the mandatory retirement rule. That being said...Top Gun was 1986, and Maverick was a Navy Lieutenant (other service's Captain), which means he would have been a butter bar (Navy Ensign, other Services' Second Lieutenant) around 1980-1982ish. This means Maverick's 30 of service would be 2010-2012 ish...not 2021 or 2022. This also applies to Iceman being a Flag officer. He's too old, too, if you follow the timeline established by the release date of the movies. But seriously, if you are watching the movie, and concerned about the real-world retirement system...you must really not like flying.
Iceman is a 4 star in the Top Gun Maverick...He is the Commander in Chief of Pacific Fleet.
As a note the character of Maverick was loosely based on, Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a navy ace in the Vietnam war.
Then a politician, then a politician who took bribes.
That's disputed, Cunningham thinks he's the one. But there are others who fit the bill more. Cunningham was a said to be a bit of a self promoting piece of work.
Wasn't Duke the name of Maverick's father? That would make sense.
@@JohnRoot34231 Cunningham is not the only "Duke" Duke was also the nickname for for John Wayne, pretty popular in the 60's
Tom cruise is the only one chosen and considered to play top gun nobody else
Who caresbif it was not suppose to be Cruise.ITS is MOVE ON.This movie is fucking AWESOME.There is absolutly nothing wrong with it.Looper is always there to nit pick.
AGAIN Who cares how he was cast.He was in it then and is now.This is nonsense.
Interestingly enough, Anthony Edwards thought the movie was too jingoistic also. However, unlike Matthew Modine, he still was willing to act in it.
The Top Gun sequel stars Tom Cruise 30+ years after the original is the reason for Maverick's age and rank. There are no active duty Navy Captains pushing 60 in real life.
If we were going to nitpick about career progression, Maverick starts the original Top Gun with 5 unauthorized fly-bys. In real life, he would have been canned after the second one.
Only reason he didn't get kicked out is because Viper kept him in
He probably owed his life to Duke Mitchell back in Vietnam
He didn't let the Tower guy catch Maverick even though he was in front of him
Just got scolded

When Iceman became an Admiral he kept bailing Maverick out of trouble too many times
It's no wonder he managed to stay
The film was made in 2018 and 2019, when Tom was 56-57. Don’t you know that 46 is the new 56?
Looper “the planes needed to be bigger and faster.” The f-18 is both smaller and slower than the f-14
slower?
Its sad when Val Kilmer appears in the movie. Hope he is well in real life...
Tom Cruise is Maverick, Maverick is Tom Cruise...
I hope movie, director and Tom will get Oscars
Quick one, why the inverted dive for the mission ?
So that you can use the lift force produced by the aircraft's wings to quickly overcome the momentum of that steep climb and enter a steep descent.
@@bradbass3676 Very hard on the pilot's body and brain, thx man
Why does no-one raise the question of Rooster's age? He should be near 40 right now. He was kindergarten - to - 7 when Goose died and 30 years later he is in his 20s....
Nah, he was like 3-4 years old in 1986, and movie was filmed in 2018, so he can be around 37 yo. In the movie they don't specify the year, so it could happen a bit earlier. Also in movie they said Maverick pulled out Rooster's papers from academy, pushing him 4 years back, which makes him probably older, than others. Also Admiral says 30+ years of duty for Maverick. In the beginning of first Top Gun he was already a LT, 24 yo, meaning he was on duty for a while. So, maybe the time difference between two movie timelines is a bit smaller, than 30 years.
@@creativebodyflying still - even in most lenient interpretation - 26 isn't 35... I guess the makers must have thought that with such a good story nobody would really care about those tiny discrepancies. And it seems they were right. 👍😄
Legend is an underrated classic..
I enjoy the new top gun!! I wish they will make another sequel
Is it weird that it would seem more real to me if it was green screen I'm the pilot seat, than real in the passenger seat? lol....
Well I have been writing my own fanfiction for 22 years now and I already had written a fanfiction for Top Gun Maverick the minute I saw the movie on June 7th I called it Top Gun legacy or Top Gun legacies I have all the new characters and I also write my own fanfiction like I said so I just had the same main character I've had since then just travel to all sorts of different TV shows that I love so right now I brought over the top gun characters to my fan fiction as well.💖
So far I have seen top gun Maverick four times June 7th June 10th June 14th June 21st and I don't care anybody says each time I see it I saw uncontrollably at certain scenes especially when I see Maverick and Rooster hugging.
While watching this movie, I saw a remake of Star Wars. The jet fighters sequences were a carbon copy of the climatic ending scene to destroy the death star with the Millenium Falcon and Imperial TIE Fighters of which Darth Vader was at the helm of one.
Mav did say He Quit being an instructor at Top Gun after 2 months so maybe thats why hes still Captain.
Highly decorated captain. 😁
A billion dollars in world wide ticket sales guarantees a Top Gun 3
I'm glad Matthew didn't take the role. He would have ruined it.
That’s Duke Mitchell’s boy!
Top Gun 3 ???Hmmmmm Fly Navy Baby !
5:16 👍 for the Community reference
The "untold truth" of a fictional character. I just can't even. Seriously.
Yeah the title is misleading, it should be more like: "Things about Top Gun's Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell You Didn't Know" 👍
The title’s aim it to get our attention!
Ok, y'all. Here is the thing that I can't even over; Maverick is a fictional character, which means nothing about him is, by definition, truthful. He is made up, pretend, not real. I do know that fictional characters can PORTRAY truth, and even teach powerful lessons about truth, but the character himself has no "untold truth" the way the video is presenting it. He is not real.
“Cruise told playboy”
Ok all I needed to know
The films politics? I hardly even noticed politics in it
Capt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell
I had a dream about a movie made with Keanu Reeves and Matthew Modine, some jungle and KGB?
TC for President
This movie is just awesome.
The F/A-18 Hornet is not bigger nor faster than the F-14 Tomcat.
I don't think Top Gun: Maverick takes place recently... How old would that make Rooster?
Around 36
Drones are literally referenced once in the film and that's that
I wish the movie would show the fact that the pilots couldn't do all that "pilot ****" without us techs. As the saying goes, we owned the planes, the pilots just played with them.
I've got a great idea for film 3.
Check out the comment by the Top Gun instructor at the 3:50 mark. I don't know that guy, he's either really funny or incredibly dense. How about Doctors who know how to put your broken bodies back together. How about engineers who know how build that thing your flying in. Or cops who go to work everyday with a little badge pinned on their front and a big target on their back or fireman who do so much more than put out fires I don't want to start listing any because I know there are fireman out there who will say, " why didn't you mention this or that"? I know I was a fireman for 34 years of my life. There are so many professions out there that my life more enjoyable. I'm to old to go through life thinking foolish things like that Top Gun instructor. But even if I did think it I wouldn't open my mouth and say it.
Can I fry that? Yup, I’ll hook’em. You clean them and fry them!
I want to know how Maverick's Mom died. She was crazy young!
Looper....ur wrong the F-14 is much bigger and much faster that the F-18
Imagine not casting tom cruise on a top gun movie that would be a blockbuster dizaster for the movie.
The P-52 Mustang scene makes me think Maverick is on Reserve or Retired
The P-51D Mustang is actually owned by him. I am 99.9% sure he had the fellows out at stallion 51 in Kissimmee, Florida. Track down and locate a very beautiful well kept up up P-51 Mustang. That's part of one of their services that they do. And also you can get certification for your ratings to fly the P51 Mustang Crazy Horse" with Mr.. Pete Lauterbach with his dual control TF-51D Mustang group. Along with the pilot maker before you get the chance to take the trolls of the Mustang. You would have to master the North American at-6 Texan/ SNJ / Harvard. I was blessed to have a AT-6 Harvard MK-II growing up in the early 1980s. But here's their website information to take a look at what packages they have to offer. That way one day you can fulfill your wildest dreams. And be able to take up awesome beautiful screaming supercharged V12 through the central Florida Skies.
Mathew Modine is suffering from a bad case of envy. It's sad.
FYI the Super Hornet is neither bigger or faster than the Tomcat.
It's more nimble than the Tomcat
It's in the name
Tomcat being feisty cats
Hornets being small and yet maneuverable that can sting someone right in the ass
6:29 There were no drones use or shown in the film. Sounds like you guys started making this video before you could even watch the film. You took a chance and were wrong.
John Travolta was also considered for the role of Maverick fyi.
Yes he is a pilot too cool he can fly too
Ele se arrisca muito....e muito perigoso,mas ele se sai bem......Good God
Oh yes she's a beautiful person.wings and all.and he has very very beautiful ears too,also forced actually.but was so cute.and he was able to hear things better
actually f18s are smaller and significantly slower than f14s
It's sad Tom Cruise didn't fly a F22 and an F35
Cruise wasn't allowed any stick time in a F-18 Super Hornet? Wanna bet? Things happen ""Off the books"" all the time. Cruise may tell the story in 15-20 years....Or maybe never. And, of course I am probably completely wrong.
Oh so he didn't want to make sequels cuz he didn't want to dupe people into joining the military.... essentially
If you join the Military your eyes are wide open. Not duped.
@@electroniccheeks lol
I might be wrong, but F-18 is smaller then F-14
Full metal jacket, great movie, Top Gun, just for kicks
It was well known( before he signed up ) that Cruise did not want to be in a war movie.
would be interesting for Tom to have his own F-18 hornet? or f-14 TOMCAT (my most favorite military jets)?
I'm confused. On the one hand you say that the Navy wouldn't let Cruise fly the F-18's so they were flown by Navy pilots. On the other hand you say that they placed cameras in the F-18's, Cruise said that he didn't know any other way to make the movie without putting the actors in the F-18's, and that one of the selling points to convince Tom to do the film was that the actors would actually be in the F-18's. How could the actors be in the F-18's and not be flying them?
Have you seen the original? Navy planes have a pilot and a RIO (Radar Intercept Officer) which Goose was. So most F/A-18s are two seaters just like the F-14s they replaced.
F-A/18F is a two-seater version of Super Hornet....Tom and other actors flew on the backseat of F-A/18F Super Hornets and they choreographed the scenes in such a way that it looks like they are flying in front seat.
Cruise sits in the back seat of the jet... Both seats are capable of flying.. this is how training is done in real life....
F/A-18E and F
E is for 1 seater
F is for 2 seater
A, B, C, D, E, F
You can guess which is 1 seat and 2 seat from the alphabets
With the exception of G because it's a 2 seat type
Tom Cruise asked to fly the F-18 but the Navy refused. I guess he will have to officially join the Navy. Also, because the cost of one plane is around 80 million. The insurance companies will not allow it.
They should have made a prequel instead about mavericks dad and a younger version of viper. That would have made a great movie. Sequels are never as good as the originals.
Empire Strikes Back!
And yet nigh on every review is saying top gun 2 is one of the best sequels ever made.go back to bed
Saw this last night , it’s better than the first
Good idea, with different cast and actor also 60s scenario
@@westgatechannel278 We can borrow the Japanese F-4's for Maverick's dad to fly.
It's a movie! There is no "untold truth!". LOL
That’s because you can’t handle the truth!!
No drones were in the movie
Presumably Maverick would have been among those shooting up the people fleeing along the Basra Highway in 1991?
Mav would never do it --- he has too much integrity
@@lukebuchwald9252 Then there wouldn't have been this sequel in 2021/22, because he would have been drummed out, possibly after a period of incarceration.
Integrity in a Services situation of any nation may mean refusing to obey orders that are questionable on moral or legal grounds; it can also mean respecting the chain of command and doing whatever whenever.
@@bheast86 I just can't see Mav firing on fleeing combatants --- that would violate the rules of engagement that he was taught
Not if he was flying in an Tomcat squadron, we didnt carry air to ground ordnance back then (cept for 20mm fir the M-61A),. We did air cover near the area tho. Its was a turkey shoot...
Yeah, umm... no. No one was accused or charged over the "Road of Death".
Top Gun (1986) was full of cinematic nonsense (artistic license): wrong use of the word 'bogey', inaccurate portrayal of the 'hostile' aircraft which were just F5s not Sukhoi, flying upside down over another jet (rubbish), etc. There's a video out there about all the other inaccuracies. It was really just an action flick but it ended up inspiring so many to the naval aviation services. Call-signs for naval aviators also differ from the air force. The re-shoot scenes (lift scene) sort of stood out as Kelly McGillis looked different.
It's a movie you boob. In 1986 I dont think the USSR were going to part with MIGs or Sukhois for us to use. A4s arent dogfighters either. Its entertainment, not a documentary. 🙄
@@zounds1981 Of course it was just a movie. Don't have to call me names just because you've got a carrier. 😂
As Bio, Bozo, Jambo, Smegs were told by Simpson and Scott, It's a movie not a documentary, still the Navy technical advisors Smegs and Bio were able to add to the movie, all of the dialog said by the actors while their masks were on were provided by Smegs and Bio.
Didn't Charlie said that MiG-28 is just a modified F-5?
@@guts-141 No.
Top Gun was based on a book hence the lawsuit.
Tom still channeling Misvavage?.? Whose wife disappeared in 06...at least Tom just banishes him exes...
who else thinks TGM's mission was copied from the Star Wars Death Star Assault?
maverick Died in the crash of the Mach 10 entering purgatory Penny,ice and Rooster were his second chances
The original movie was based on a true life story at the urgings of Chuck Yeager. This was after I had urged moviemakers to make the mov ie The Right Stuff. He didn't tell me about the Maverick movie until after it's release. The 2nd movie does not have any basis in reality and is purely Fictional. I have no idea of who Pete Mitchell is or was. My call sign in the Navy was Maverick. The name I used while serving on special assignment in the Navy was Ritt Read.
Originally Maverick was offered to... RDJ!!!!! How the turntables...
Also to Tom Hanks
or he could have just denied promotion
One thing, the F18's are not bigger or faster than the F14's of the original
the new Super hornet F18's are....
@@mustangmikep51 no, the super hornet is smaller and slower but has a greater operational range.
F-18's are a lot more nimble in the sky --- they can pull twice the G's of the Tomcat --- that makes them formidable attack vectors
@@lukebuchwald9252 oh I'm not denying that. I only piped up because the narrator said the aircraft were bigger and faster when they're not.
