Beware of an old man in a profession were men die young. Also nice of phoenix to notice that rooster took a bullet for those guys when she said now you know something about him
It was a great line regarding character development. One, it highlighted that Rooster was a selfless pilot, a true team player who cares about his mates over his own skin. Plus, it showed that Phoenix had the wisdom and perceptiveness to recognize that quality in him.
Military in general has an up or out policy where if you don't get promoted you get force retires or something only way to stay in is accept responsibility which means being relegated to a desk
What i like about this particular scene is 1. Its realistic 2. They dont beat down the old man (maverick) like he is old and need to retire kind (indianna jones) like some of the movies today. 3. These kids are the best of the best in modern aircraft (lazer targeting, guided missile, shoot and forget systems). They never fought a actual dogfight since its was unecessary and rarely happens in modern times
The most fantastic element of this scene is the idea that naval aviators (or really, the vast majority of military personnel) can do 200 actual pushups.
I maxed at out at 227 when I was 19. I was about 5'10", 165, doing MMA 3 days a week, running, biking, and lifting weights. And I could barely move my arms the next day. Felt like my chest and back got blow torched. The time I did 1000 sit-ups in one day was worse. Couldn't straighten up for 3 days.
Well, we never see them actually complete it. Maybe they tap out when they can't take it, and Maverick isn't the kind to hold them to it anyways. It's only pride getting them to keep going as far as they can.
In my youth, I'm Ex Armed Forces, I'd be flat on my face after 50 push-ups! No way are Aircrew of ANY sort able to do 200. Even a bodybuilder would struggle.
@@terrytt5067 Bodybuilders don't train for strength endurance, and they would be at a huge disadvantage due to their heavy frames! A calisthenic guy, climber, or trained person from another discipline where endurance is more important than muscularity(and, to a degree, strength), would be better equipped to tackle such challenge
The tension in this movie was fantastic. I watched the original Top Gun for the first the day before I saw Top Gun 2 in theatres and the tension when the younger pilots were indanger was _insane._ Because the whole time I'm like "Okay, someone's gotta die. Someone's going down like Goose; Who's it gonna be?" But I love that Maverick is proving his point that _no one needs to die for this._ One Goose was already too much.
There's not many left with both the passion and talent for quality movie making and the clout to get whatever they want made. Tom Cruise is close to being the last of the true great leading men in Hollywood
The 4:29 mark is not just for show, it’s an homage to the first movie. When Goose and Maverick are speaking with Kelly Mcgillis they tell her Maverick did this to a Mig however no one believed them. That’s why this shot is there, between Maverick and Gooses son. Great movie!
I love that the scenes show them flying a low level route, yet the coms can still be heard on the UHF Radio in the flight room with just a "rubber duck" antenna...
Man, that GLOC scene fucks me up. Just knowing, no matter what country's air forces you're talking about, we've lost people to that exact scenario. US, EU, British, Canadian, Iranian, Israeli, Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, doesn't matter. Do enough training flights and it'll happen to someone. Maybe it's naive to say it, since I don't want anyone killing anybody, but the idea that you could wind up in a situation like that, trained to the peak of your capabilities, doing what you can to serve and survive, and your body just gives out on you one time in the worst possible moment. It's really sad.
As a plane captain he and his maintainers have to fix whatever these pilots break. It's his revenge for the headaches they create keeping planes working...
I work with a guy who served with someone who tried to kill themselves by jumping off a second story balcony. All he managed to do was break his shoulder, but his nickname after that was 'Airborne' 🤣
@@coolguyman2282 A nickname in the military is designed to make fun of you, lets say I really fuckin loved milkshakes and I would be called "ShakeShack" for it, just an example
perhaps they are rookies compared to real pilots, I mean you have a WSO who says the FLIR is done for and he can't get a lock eventho it swings arround and all he has to do is PUSH a button so that the cam fixates and creates the drop point, you have all pilots searching for Mav in A/G mode, birdstrike demolishing a superhornet while a legacy hornet eats led for breakfast, jet derailing like space ship hit by meteorite while normaly it should just behave like a glider. jet is called "fly-by-wire" for a reason, solong your battery is ok, you have a decent fraction of control, the stick wont become dead
Rooster: “Where is Maverick?” Maverick: “Been here the whole time.” Hitman: “Holy sh*t!” Maverick: “You see me now?!”😎 After Maverick, Hitman is their best flyboy (and he knows it); the fact that even HE was impressed at Maverick’s skill says a LOT in those 2 words.😎
I love how Hangman, although he has an ego that resembles younger Maverick, he's not a complete moron. He can see there's some issues between Rooster and Maverick, and he's even like "what is with these two?" Not even getting involved in the dog fight exercise, because this issue has gotten too ridiculous for his taste.
Agree but it's not just that. For a brief moment it was 1986 again, Ronald Reagan was president, our country was respected and our military was feared. True Americans long for those days and a rebirth of freedom.
Listen to the timing of the words of the song and the scenes a great job was done Like when he is going against Hangman “ meet the new boss same as the old boss
THEY ARE NOT ROOKIES! Remember only the best pilots from different branches are recommended for Top Gun school. So technically they are already experienced fighter pilots. Kinda like finishing a degree in college and now you're in University taking up your masters. So no they ain't rookies.
@@salomokondjila5421 Against Maverick obviously, Mav has been in the game for 3 decades and a half. But in their fields respectively they aren't newbie rookies. Hangman has an already confirmed kill while Phoenix and Bob have flown bombing missions in the middle East hence the name BOB "Bombs over Baghdad". The advantage Mav has over them is experience in dog fighting. And also Mav sometimes is a loose canon (unpredictable) the total opposite of Iceman (cold precision).
I don't know if someone forgot to mention this, but it's a MOVIE! They wouldn't use a Top Gun class for this anyway. This would be a designated strike mission, with multiple in & out paths & backup options if the primary failed to accomplish the task. In this situation they most likely would go with a SpecOps team anyway, due to the unacceptable risk from the SAMs on the way out "coffin corner" & there's no way the Navy would approve a strike mission that required pilots to pull over 8Gs max, it's too much strain on the pilots & stress on the airframes. The US prefers deniability & that's real hard to do when you're getting F-18E/F & E-18 Growlers shot down. Even though the E-18 Growlers in all likelihood could jam if not outright fry the Radar the SAMs are using. This would be a mission the F-35 could handle, because it wouldn't require drastic maneuvers due to the fact the EW & SAMs radar would never know they were there.
As soon as the canopy goes both ejection seats start the ejeciotn sequence! The weapons officer goes first so the pilot doesn't burn the weapons officer when the sequence begins, I know it's for the movie, but that's how it works!!!
I got to Maverick at the metreon theater in San Francisco which is true 70 mm IMAX screen with a fantastic sound system. It was one of the funnest movies I've ever seen there
These time ejection worked for Phoenix and Bob, not like for Goose. Bird strike is danger for jets that most of people never think about.... I Dreamed to enrol French Navy and pilot Rafale...but fate didn't want. Anyway I Dream someday to fly inside a Mustang with Tom Cruise....Maybe someday....
There is actually believability in that Goose hit the canopy. They were in a flat spin, so the airflow wouldn’t be stable, and less likely to blow the canopy clear before he ejected
What happened to Goose was based on a real f 14A training accident, th canopy issue was real! this was later remedied by adding seperate canopy jettison handle that should be pulled before the seat's loud handle which guarantees canopy seperation and clearance before ejection can start proper. At least thats what i was told during my time at Martin Baker!
They are not rookies, they are elites with proven combat experience already.... Phoenix already mentioned about them being the best of the best and wondering about their instructor.
Her being a "Top Gun graduate," the weakest scene with Phoenix was her not recognizing her plane was unsalvageable well in advance and not *needing* to be told to eject. There's also no way either she or "Bob" would've been medically-cleared to go on the mission after that ejection.
They certainly made Hangman a classic Blue Falcon (Bravo Foxtrot = Buddy F*cker) until the very end. He got his moment in the sun. Also, something a lot of people miss: At the end, Maverick tries to tell Phoenix *not* to throttle up her right engine because it's fatally damaged and on fire. She does it anyway, That instantly pushes the fire in the engine from *contained* to *uncontained,* which starts eating her fly-by-wire controls and hydraulics. And Maverick could clearly see the fire'd left the engine even if the audience couldn't. She puts out the right engine fire, but it's *already in the hull,* and seconds from making her plane a falling brick. All the warnings afterward are consistent with an uncontained engine fire, *very* rapidly fatal in an F-18. Plot armor is the only reason those two got out alive.
Actually the "trainees" are not rookies. They are all Top Gun Graduates with combat time, BUT!! the complexity of the mission was something they never faced before and since it was a one shot deal, they brought in Maverick who wasnt Cyclone's first choice, believing baseless rumored about Maverick. Despite as such, he seeded Maverick by way of Admiral Tom Kazanski (iceman) recommendation to train the pilots for the mission. Despite mavericks achievements, he was rejected and hated by book driven pilots who assumed him to be a loose cannon. Not to mention the presumed legacy of his father which Viper explained to him was a lie held by the state department to cover up their own failure. so Maverick long took the heat for a dishonor by the military and its personnel. In other words they long burned him to cover their butts for something that occurred decades ago.
Even though this movie was a real life fighter jet reskin of Star Wars A New Hope. You gotta admit; these pilots know what they’re doing and it’s very impressive.
True story from behind the scenes: The actors had some say in their callsigns. Phoenix earned hers when the cast went out on a night of heavy drinking and she was up early the next morning without a care while everyone else was hungover. This story is told by a few people in various interviews with the cast.
My partner's old man flew god knows how may combat missions in the air force. Vietnam, Korea. Then he became a flight instructor doing combat training in T-38's. One day he was up with a student going over some maneuvers. No big deal and then when they went to come back, nose gear wouldn't go down. They had to put the aircraft down on the runway without a nose gear. Everyone was ok but the point of this story is despite saving an aircraft. His fault or not, he damaged an aircraft. DOD never let him get behind a stick again. Point being. If you crash an aircraft, in the US Military. Doesn't matter what branch. If while responsible for a US fighter jet. Training or not. Your fault or not. They will never, ever give you a chance to damage or crash and aircraft twice because 100% of the data is clear. Once you crash or damage an aircraft, you are more likely to do it again than someone that hasn't. It's just statistics and the pentagon does not take chances with hardware that expensive. Especially when it's dangerous enough as it is. I know there's a lot of things in this movie that would never, could never happen. But that one. It's just like rubbing salt in the wound. If they're just going to ignore everything about reality. They should have gone hard and made them fly go bots or transformers. This whole movie has more in common with lord of the rings than it does real combat pilots.
Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

"That's a lot of push-ups..." was also a warning to all of them, not Mav feeling nervous.

Agree poor decision after another either kills you or you are disqualified
Movie magic bro
4:24 is the best part in the movie
Quiet presence
I think it’s called cobra maneuver
I just so happen to love this ...10
They certainly made Hangman a classic Blue Falcon (Bravo Foxtrot = Buddy F*cker) until the very end. He got his moment in the sun.
Also, something a lot of people miss: At the end, Maverick tries to tell Phoenix *not* to throttle up her right engine because it's fatally damaged and on fire. She does it anyway, That instantly pushes the fire in the engine from *contained* to *uncontained,* which starts eating her fly-by-wire controls and hydraulics. And Maverick could clearly see the fire'd left the engine even if the audience couldn't. She puts out the right engine fire, but it's *already in the hull,* and seconds from making her plane a falling brick. All the warnings afterward are consistent with an uncontained engine fire, *very* rapidly fatal in an F-18.
Plot armor is the only reason those two got out alive.
Guardian Angels be with the Air force and our military the men in the military are real Men 💪❤
Seru banget!! Kerennnnn
It is going to forever bug me that they keep showing air-to-mud displays on the radar scope, when they’re tracking or searching for Maverick’s plane.
What a good movie
As fun as this movie is I cant help but imagine the F-18 pilots out there shaking their heads at some of the plot points.
I can't wait for the sequel
My friend, this was the sequel.
Wait for another 30 years to get the next sequel
I love this movie it puts me at a place i will never be ❤
Maverick. They got it.
It was never be this fun to count to 200 six times in a single day
4:28...is this your idea of fun, Mav?....😅😅
5:40....im gonna hit the brakes and he'll fly right by....😅😅
Actually the "trainees" are not rookies. They are all Top Gun Graduates with combat time, BUT!! the complexity of the mission was something they never faced before and since it was a one shot deal, they brought in Maverick who wasnt Cyclone's first choice, believing baseless rumored about Maverick. Despite as such, he seeded Maverick by way of Admiral Tom Kazanski (iceman) recommendation to train the pilots for the mission. Despite mavericks achievements, he was rejected and hated by book driven pilots who assumed him to be a loose cannon. Not to mention the presumed legacy of his father which Viper explained to him was a lie held by the state department to cover up their own failure. so Maverick long took the heat for a dishonor by the military and its personnel. In other words they long burned him to cover their butts for something that occurred decades ago.
😎 AIRPORT LIFE TEAM # 1
Cool. Naval Captain, Tom Cruise.
A highly decorated captain
You should have been at least a two-star admiral, if not a Senator
all I can say is... DAMN IT! 😅✌️
Now i realized that the guy play the codename "Payback" is the same dude who that guy in the escape room movie
Great movie 🔥🫡
Such a great movie
Can you imagine the ride of ejecting???? What a rush.
An 11. So good in every way.
I always felt bad for Hondo: having to spend his days counting to 200 regularly.
Even though this movie was a real life fighter jet reskin of Star Wars A New Hope. You gotta admit; these pilots know what they’re doing and it’s very impressive.
The actual pilots sitting in the front of all these double seaters, yes. What all actors went through though is just as badass.
All fun and games till that slefe 😂😂😂😂😂
Best movie ever
Great scene
Mav, still the best.
how the hell did Phoenix get such a cool call sign they are usually kinda insulting like Hangman
True story from behind the scenes:
The actors had some say in their callsigns. Phoenix earned hers when the cast went out on a night of heavy drinking and she was up early the next morning without a care while everyone else was hungover.
This story is told by a few people in various interviews with the cast.
"Phoenix, left engine's on fire!" Lol... Watch it with the auto captions turned on...
Yup, fighter jet is can't glide.
It's basically a rocket with some wings for manoeuvering.
bruh those g-force from that move would have made him pass out at 5:45 thats crazy
My partner's old man flew god knows how may combat missions in the air force. Vietnam, Korea. Then he became a flight instructor doing combat training in T-38's. One day he was up with a student going over some maneuvers. No big deal and then when they went to come back, nose gear wouldn't go down. They had to put the aircraft down on the runway without a nose gear. Everyone was ok but the point of this story is despite saving an aircraft. His fault or not, he damaged an aircraft. DOD never let him get behind a stick again. Point being. If you crash an aircraft, in the US Military. Doesn't matter what branch. If while responsible for a US fighter jet. Training or not. Your fault or not. They will never, ever give you a chance to damage or crash and aircraft twice because 100% of the data is clear. Once you crash or damage an aircraft, you are more likely to do it again than someone that hasn't. It's just statistics and the pentagon does not take chances with hardware that expensive. Especially when it's dangerous enough as it is. I know there's a lot of things in this movie that would never, could never happen. But that one. It's just like rubbing salt in the wound. If they're just going to ignore everything about reality. They should have gone hard and made them fly go bots or transformers. This whole movie has more in common with lord of the rings than it does real combat pilots.
That day a lot of pushups were done
How did a Grade A Blue Falcon like Hangman end up in Top Gun?
Driving through Panamint Valley, west of Death Valley, you might get buzzed by low flying aircraft from nearby air bases.
Sooo intense
Maverick attention when he went thru top gun himself
This actually outdid the original by a huge margin. Perfect sequel
10!!
Most of the young pilot actors face just like famous actors at 90s
And now you know a little something about Rooster. Sick fucking line
