I saw the original in theaters when I was 20, my parents also saw it in theaters. I didn't know that until this movie was about to be released and my 80 year old parents mentioned how much they would like to see it in a theater. So as a Fathers Day gift last June I took them to see Maverick in a theater. I was concerned the load noise might annoy them, but they loved it as much as I did. The sounds of the planes and visuals were just incredible. It was a fun afternoon for a 57 year old man with his 80+ year old parents. It became more meaningful when in October Dad passed away, making Mavrick the last film he ever saw in a theater.

The Maverick and Iceman scene proved that despite being rivals in the past. Iceman always had his back after Goose dead. Iceman was Maverick's wingman outside of a plane and even in his last breath was drawn Iceman always had Maverick's back later in life. Also, one thing I love about this film. They succeed to make new characters interesting in just one movie. Rooster, Hangman, Phoenix and Payback are some of the best newcomers in this film. Hangman remind me of Iceman and his rivalry between Rooster remind of the rivalry between Iceman and Maverick. This is notalgia done right.

The AI voice thing is something Val Kilmer is doing so that he can act in future movies where they will use the AI voice which WILL SOUND NORMAL, not like he has a throat condition like in this movie. The AI voice will basically allow Val Kilmer to lip-sync in future movies and the voice will deliver the lines for him and it'll sound as if he never had throat cancer. So the AI voice is something Val Kilmer is doing but is unrelated to this movie, and the son doing his voice I think was something that they did for a documentary about Val Kilmer, also unrelated to this movie.

Ticket price? Or production cost? Even many bad films now break a billion dollars in ticket sales. However, consistently bad decisions in production, story, & casting have diminished the brands of many IPs such as Star Wars and the MCU (Marvel) to the point that they are approaching irrelevance. For example, in the Star Wars universe, consider the death of Han Solo in such a trivial manner and the diminishment of Luke Skywalker to a green milk-chugging burnout. In a huge shakeup in the MCU, Victoria Alonso (Pres of VFX, Animation & Post-production) was recently scapegoated and fired for a lot of people's (principally Kevin Feige's) continuously bad decisions throughout Phases 4 & 5. Amazon Prime's Rings of Power was a colossal waste of time, money, and energy for a completely forgettable failure of the most expensive TV production of all-time. The list of colossal recent failures goes on and on. And more and more fans are now abandoning these stink-bomb franchises in droves. As you say, recently there have been many quite successful "B' movie productions. These films simply don't have the production resources to waste on such a grand scale, so talented people working on them have to try to gain audience support through more traditional storytelling methods. And it shows.

The new ant-man had a $200 million budget, had CG that looked like absolute shit, and hasn't even hit $500 million in box office sales. Hasn't been quite 2 weeks yet but the new shazam still hasn't made it's base budget back yet, and the general rule is movies have to double their budget at the box office just to become profitable.

Again, that is a jaded view and the entire reason the cost of films are out of control. 99% of a movie can be great and the 1% is what's talked about. I am talking more about the type of movie anyway. If a movie is made for a small group of people and that group of people like/love it, it is a success. Everyone who complains about zero perfection are the anchors who keep happiness low. It makes fans not want to even talk about the things they love. People just say what they like is "shit".

Mav knew his career with the Navy was over when he came back to the carrier in the F-14. He also knew he wouldn't ever get a chance to fly an F-14 again, so he made the best of it with a low pass. We wouldn't expect anything less from Mav.

Maybe, maybe not: the F-14 was there, seats 2, looked airworthy, and Maverick knew how to fly it. A no-brainer. After landing, the same Admiral that wanted him gone, gave his approval for a job well done. Personally, I feel that Maverick retired after that mission - but if Cruise wanted to do another film, it was left open for that to happen. Sad part is, in reality, there are no airworthy F-14's left in the USA: there's a handfull of them in museums, but all critical/classified components have been removed & destroyed, and the rest of the F-14 fleet was destroyed, so that the Iranian government (the only other country that bought the F-14 - and who hasn't been on our good side since the '70's) can't get their hands on any critical parts, to keep theirs flying. That's a very sad thing, because, while I was in the USAF, seeing a F-14 fly was an awsome sight! They're bigger than the F-18, but just as maneuverable, and faster. Them being retired & replaced rather than upgraded, was purely politics & money, as the new F-18 Growler, is basically what the F-14 was, right off the production line, (as well as also being an air superiority fighter). Only difference, is it took the F-18 40 years to get to where the F-14 already was, and it still isn't as fast. I mean, the F-15 and F-16 are both just as old as the Tomcat, yet even with the F-117, the F-22, and the F-35, the F-15 is STILL in production, and the F-16 is - sort of. Not only is this film a "love letter" to aviation, but it's also a "love letter" to the F-14.

@@Britcarjunkie sadly the F-14 as too high maintenance. She had the highest maintenance hours to flight hours ratio, and cost too much. Too many moving parts (sweeping wings, old avionics and systems etc.). She was ahead of her time in role and performance, but behind on the technological side. 15s and 16s are far easier and cheaper to maintain (it helps that they aren’t carrier-borne) and upgrade, and have fantastic combat records (F-15s are 104-0 in aerial combat!). The F-14 will always be the most iconic fighter jet in aviation history, but her flaws were too costly 😢 And it’s a damn shame that politics got in the way of an upgraded version… the ST-21 program was canned before it got past the drafting stage, but the proposals were insane!

@@CoffeeMatt10 That's part of the problem with technology - lots of moving parts. As for the swing wing design, I tend to lean towards that being just another excuse, as the EF-111 and the Panavia Tornado had swing wings, and that never seemed to be a reason for retiring them. And, the B-1 is still in service, as much as it drinks fuel. I do understand the Tomcats were old - so are B-52's, but with all the maintenance they require, they're sticking around - probably until wings start falling off again! (Happened at, I think, Norton AFB in the '80's: just sitting on the ramp, minding its own beeswax, and a wing fell off!) In defense of B-52's, however, even with twice the engines as the B-1 or B-2, the '52 is more cost effective: doesn't drink as much fuel, and parts are cheap, due to most of the technology being of the best museum-quality...and the engine upgrade should make them even cheaper to operate. But yes, it is a damn shame the Tomcat wasn't upgraded. That, and the SR-71.

Penny Benjamin [Jennifer Connelly] was mentioned several times in the original movie: Captain in opening when saying they were going to Top Gun "One pass on an Admirals Daughter [Penny]", Goose saying "Penny Benjamin?" to Maverick right after the Captain's Statement and Meg Ryan during her visit mid movie, "Goose told me all about the time you went ballistic with Penny Benjamin.” --- we haven't lost Air Superiority, the F-22 would likely take out a SU-57 Felon [enemy fighter portrayed in movie] before even seeing it visually. They set up a specific reason they can't use our stealth aircraft [F-22 doesn't do carrier take offs last I heard and the F-35 would be no use on the target with the enemies GPS jamming so the best current carrier fighter bomber is the F-18 SuperHornets used in the movie.]

The difference with the first one is the mission. In the first film they’re trying to get through Top Gun and prove they’re the best. Big woo. In this one EVERYONE is the best and it’s a suicide mission, so you spend an entire movie getting to know and like and care about all the characters…and they might well get killed. That tension is throughout the movie and makes you care even more. That’s why it works so damn well.

Penny is the Admiral's daughter that was mentioned in the first movie. I love that we got to see Val Kilmer again for that one scene. Definitely one of my favorite moments of the movie with Iceman and Maverick. Fun Fact: There was very little CGI effects for the aerial shots in this movie. The cast all took flight training lessons. Those are the actors doing doing those scenes. If neither of you have seen it yet, I very highly recommend the Miles Tiller movie "Whiplash". Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊

Great reaction to such a great movie! The amusing thing for me that almost no one seems to get is that Hangman is Maverick as he would have been in this era of single seat warplanes. The main thing that kept Maverick from being what Hangman was is that Mav always had Goose, who was his conscience in some ways, riding brakes on Mav's worst impulses and making them not so bad. Mav was responsible to and for Goose, and since Goose was his only family Mav usually held himself in check so he wouldn't let Goose down. Hangman didn't have a back seater to be responsible to and for, so he could go all out to prove he was the best he could be and better than everyone else, which justly earned him his callsign: because he'd always hang you out to dry to prove you weren't as good as he was. Luckily, and thankfully, Hangman learned the important lesson about teamwork through Mav, who uniquely understood Hangman's driven personality. Hangman's character development was a very well done part of the movie too. In an early script, Hangman was to be Ice's son. I'm glad they scrapped that. The single/double seat arrangements for the F-18s was done so that each pilot could focus only on flying and the back seater could focus solely on acquiring the target with the laser and watching for other issues when that focus wasn't needed anymore. Plus, having the weapons officer in the trailing plane theoretically gave them an extra second or three to get a clear lock on the target from a clear perspective. Also, most everyone relaxes when they see that Rooster has ejected, but I didn't relax because I remembered that Goose ejected too. In the F-18 scenes, professional military pilots were doing the actual flying, but the back seat cockpits were set up to look like the real thing. The tech advances for getting us inside the cockpit with the actor were amazing! And the actors had additional duties to their usual acting as they had to test and make sure the cameras were set and focused properly, that their makeup was good, and that the shots were as near perfect as possible. The director had the toughest time since all he could do was stand around and wait until the day's flying was done, then collect all the day's filming out of the onboard camera systems and take it to watch for the first time then and make notes for the next day's flying. The actors actually had to go through an intensive training program to prepare them for flying in the fighters. I imagine there was some vomit hosed out of the cockpit after some of those maneuvers. Even though the actors, from what I remember, were never taken above 4G, that's nothing to sneeze at. Especially over time. I know the Fury 325 roller coaster at Carowinds near where I grew up in Charlotte, NC is said to max out at around 4Gs, that's just for a short period of time. The WWII plane Cruise was working on at the beginning and flying at the end of the movie is his own personal plane that he is licensed to fly. He took members of the cast and crew up in it for fun in between work. That had to be a blast. Val Kilmer, of course, had been fighting throat cancer in real life, but it was important to have him in this movie and he wanted to be there. His voice in the scenes was a programmed synthesized voice, but it was perfectly his voice as it might be. It was so good to see them as such close friends, and to know that Ice had constantly been Mav's guardian angel, keeping him in the service no matter what Mav did to get himself dismissed. And it showed a lot of how well Ice really understood Mav, and explains a lot of Mav's behaviors in the early movie. Mav is basically suicidally depressed when the movie starts, but he's not the suicidal type, so he looks for situations where he can go out doing what he does best, but he fights to survive anyway because that is his nature. Ignoring how he feels (typical man, I know) he focuses on something else that he can control: flying. All Mav has is the service. He has no family. Even Goose's family he's not close to, though we only learn why as the movie advances. The Navy and the people he works with, best shown in Hondo, are the only family he has. So he pushes beyond Mach 10 because the project is going to be shut down and he'll lose the team/family he's been working with and, knowing as he does that Ice has been fighting cancer, he is aware that his long-term guardian angel might not be able to keep him where he needs to be. His time is running out, and he's well aware of that, so if he stays in pure Maverick mode and pushes juuust a bit more, and a bit more again, then maybe he can go out doing what he loves before that is taken away from him too. So he does. But he survives. And his guardian angel is still able to shift him back to someplace he needs to be. And, whether this was Ice's grand plan knowing who all from Pete's history was there or not, Mav ends up where he needs to be to reestablish a will to live beyond the military. Reestablishment of his old family with Rooster. Rediscovery and, much more importantly, a new appreciation of an old flame (mentioned but never seen in the original movie). And suddenly Mav has every reason to not die in the cockpit. So, of course, he must go and do something that could very easily make him die in the cockpit. In a Hollyweird full of shallow and dull movies and shows with shallow, poorly done scripts and no actual thought behind them and shallow, unrealistic characters who only change in shallow ways if at all, a movie of this great depth made me so happy to see. I can watch it again and again and love it still. So very well done. For all the concerns I've had for Tom Cruise's weirdnesses in the past, he is absolutely a glorious hero for making this movie happen.

Also (I'm a bit buzzed on my vacation so I'm gonna share thoughts as the video goes, lmao), F-18's have two variants, one with a single seat and one with two seats. That's why the wingman is so important for the mission. The guy in the backseat in the wingman aircraft is able to direct the laser for the bomb without having to worry about flying. It's also how they were able to film so much of this realistically; the actors were sitting in the backseat of actual F-18's pulling actual high G maneuvers. There's a fair bit of CGI in the movie, but a LOT of the shots of the actors in the cockpit are them genuinely suffering in the backseat of a fighter pulling high G's. They did a phenomenal job of recreating the chaos of air combat. As a good comparison, some of the radio communications between pilots are available from the "shock and awe" campaign of the first Iraq war, and it basically sounds a lot like that quick sequence of the pilots flying for their lives after the bomb drop, just a lot of yelling and maneuvering and panicked callouts of missile launches and evasive manuevers. As for catching them with a net, well... the Navy learned a lot of hard lessons in WW2, and "sometimes planes need to land with an obscene amount of battle damage" was right up there with the most important.

Fun fact: Maverick says that the mission could be pulled off by the F-35 fighter but the GPS jamming prevented it from hitting the target. The F-35 is featured in the opening carrier scene but only the exterior. The real reasons why is because the F-35 cockpit can only seat one person. The F-18 had the room to incorporate the custom camera rigs and have the actors ride in the back. Also, the inside of the F-35 has parts that are still classified. So it couldn't be filmed at all

To explain the 5th Generation Fighters, F/A-18's aren't Air Superiority fighters, they're Fighter/Bombers, which means while they *can* dogfight, they are not *designed* for that role. The current 5th generation fighter the US has is the F22 Raptor, and the F-35a Lightning II (which is a replacement for the traditional F/A-18 Hornets. Although there *is* a F/A-18 Super Hornet that's considered fifth generation as well,) The only one of the three that's strictly Air-Air combat is the Raptor. The planes in the film are very loosely based on the Su-57 Felon, Russian 5th generation fighter.

East of this base is a mountain range where this canyon range in the movie is. Fightertown pilots will fly threw this canyon. The pilots named this the "Beggar's Canyon Run" (Star Wars IV). Keep it going you two !!!

Miramar NAS was the original home to the Top Gun school: hence the name "Fightertown USA" on one of the hangars there. Contrary to the film, Top Gun was moved to Fallon NAS, in the '90's. Reason being was, in the last round of base closures that took place in '92, Miramar NAS was handed over to the Marines, because they lost just about every airbase they had on the west coast - El Toro, Santa Ana, Mile Square, and they ended up trading El Centro to the Navy, for Miramar. California lost a LOT of military bases, and a LOT of civilian jobs, when that happened.
