Oh, no...... Man, I was a fanatic of the original when it came out, but I can't bear to watch it anymore. I doubt a sequel will change that.

I wonder if they are going to have another volleyball scene in this one?  I thought it was the best movie ever as a kid and but looking back, who says things like,"I'm holding on too tight, I've lost the edge..." Let's have a long drawn out conversation on flying while half-nekkid in the locker room! The funny thing is that 22 years later he would be an O-6 Captain by now (if not retired) and he still looks the same! Well, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards and whats her name could use the work now. |
Yeah, that was a groaner. How about at the end when Maverick is on the MiG's tail and he won't commit because he's pining for Goose... COME ON. |
|
OK, let me get this straight: The premise is that 22 years later, Cruise (as Maverick) is at the Top Gun school teaching Navy pilots and along comes a hot, young female pilot who acts just like Maverick did when he was young. She becomes his love interest. So far, no surprises, right? So if this were to happen in the "real world", wouldn't this cause all sorts of charges being levied against them for breaking officer to officer, superior to subordinate contact and such? Maybe he quits the Navy because of her. Yawn. It darn well better have good F-16 on F/A-18 action then. -Gator |
That first pic is a fish eye lens distorting their faces. Though I never liked Katie Holmes or thought she was particularly hot. Batman Begins was such a well made and well cast film; I don't understand how she slipped through into the movie. She lopped EVERY scene she was in. Thank Baby Super Jesus that she isn't in the Dark Knight. |
What The Fuck, over. Goose was the only cool character in the movie, and he died. You want 'Goose' to some how, some way, return from the dead? What do you want, a zombie Goose? On principle, they'd have to kill him because he's a zombie, and I just cant bear to see Goose die twice. |
yeah the parody was a better movie |
By far. "Now, I know you're all wondering what happened to my pants. Well, they started running short of material once they got to the knees, so don't give me any shit." |
Meh. That idea sucks. I say they should do this whole alien invasion things. See, the guys could all be yuking it up at Top Gun when suddenly there's a defcon alert! We're being invaded by these airplanes that look JUST like DC-8s, except without the fans! You could say these things are invading the atmosphere, dropping some sort of payload near all Earth's volcanos, and preparing a Nuclear attack! Its up to Maverick to fly the ultimate mission, to get to the next level, and to remove the evil scourge that threatens to stick to humanity forever! |

I loved that movie. Good times were had after watching that, building my 1/48 scale AH-64 and an entire summer of playing Gunship 2000 on my 386. Man, to be 12 again. |
I actually watched them film parts of it at Ft. Hood. They were set up right outside our hanger. Sean Young walked in one day on a break and my buddie and I spent about an hour chattin' with her. She was nice, and seem genuinely interested in the Apache and other ships. It was cool. I thought the movie sucked donkey balls. -Mark. |
Of course, because you know how things really work. But when you're 12 and watch Firebirds... or 7 and watch Top Gun... you think it's the greatest thing ever. Probably the same reason why my dad hates Crimson Tide. |
He could visit Maverick in some homoerotic dream sequence. 
|
I was scrolling through the replies, wondering when Xenu would show. Disappointed that it took this long... "Negative, L. Ron. I've almost got Xenu. I've got good tone...his E-meter is off the charts! Fox-1! Fox-2! Babarino! He's on your tail!" |
