Could never be made today...... Not talking about the F14's......

Watching it now, Great Movie!!!!! Women were Women and Men were Men.... Fucking Hollywood would never allow such a thing today.

I think there's a new one coming out isn't there? At least that's what Cruise's IMDB info says... Let me guess, he will be an instructor for the F-35 bloatware crew

Ironically, it was directed by a woman.

He'd be transgendered and instead of Goose dying, Mav would be sexually assaulted by someone at TOP GUN. Mav would win a lawsuit against the DOD and pave the way for Transgendered combat pilot quotas.  Mav would later on be shot by a right wing nut job while running for office.  Think transgendered Erin Brokovich meets the Gabby Giffords story with a few clips of simulated air-to-air combat thrown in.

I believe fully this is more of a "Chick Flick" then a guy movie.

The fact that Maverick and Goose were more than just "both in the Navy " is really good. Military life really doesn't transfer well to civilian life. Watching any of the Article 15 clothing vids confirms this.....

I didn't think she was all that in the movie either, to be perfectly honest.

She's a stone cold hottie and when it came time to put up or shut up every guy here would either take her or run down to their mom's basement.

I didn't say she was ugly. She just never did it for me like other 80s babes did.

I agree, I thought she was hot...even when I saw this in the theaters when I was 14 years old.




Edit: I just realized what I just said... To be honest, I think a living breathing women was hot at that age

Absolutely. It's not even a joke.The main character would almost certainly be a woman and there is a real good chance she would be a lesbian.

The only character that wouldn't change would be Goose and Ice Man.  Goose wouldn't change, because he needs to be a helpless man.  Ice man wouldn't change, because he would represent the oppressive white male.

I don't know about being a "great" movie, but it was a memorable movie, as in taking you back to that time in your life.

It made all the early-20something guys want to join and fly fighters and look all GQ while doing it.  And ride Interceptor motorcycles (or Ninja, whatever it was).  I was one of those.

Just like movies and games about grunt badassedness are doing today.

But looking at it now, it's so cheesy.  A contractor gal debriefing the RFMDS (sorry, I was AF)?  A guy dying because the canopy didn't blow before the seat?  Hollywood at it's unauthentic best.
