Quote HistoryQuoted: I wonder if it's "bowing to China" or just trying to be "marketable in China?" In other words, US movies are big business, so I take it as they are just trying to expand over-seas views. It looks interesting enough that I'll probably rent it from Redbox in 2023. We gave Communist China our freaking canal for crying out loud...bowing in a Movie 50yrs later is no biggie... |

I didn't see any overweight Chiefs but did see an overweight warrant officer so I'll tentatively confirm the film's technical accuracy.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Maverick: "I know our missiles have a range of 150ish miles but we are going to play this like P51's vs BF109's because reasons." Because it's cinematic. When they made the first Top Gun they started by filming some basic, by the book simulated air combat. They looked at it in the editing room and said, "it's just not dramatic enough. Get closer!" So they got closer. Makes for impressive footage but yeah, not even the slightest bit realistic for everyone to be flying around in fingertip and fighting at those distances. Shoot the enemy at that range and his wreckage is probably going to blow you or some other shmuck out of the sky.

It looks like Goose's son is in an F-14 here and with the old A/B Martin Baker seat with the headrest ejection handles, not even the D model newer seat style.
I'm wondering what scenario would have an older Tomcat against an Su-57. Maybe he goes on a joyride flight somewhere in a vintage jet and gets jumped/killed by an Su-57? Looking forward to seeing this one though also as a kid of the 80s who watched the original hundreds of times, I am keeping my expectations moderate. Quote History |

Admittedly, modern air to air combat would make for an incredibly boring movie. You have to figure that filming began in 2018 or 2019, the F-35C had only just barely entered service by that time. The Hornet has visual recognition as the Navy's frontline fighter and everyone knows the Blue Angels. Its better for movie making. |

I actually was pumped about it but then I saw the super long trailer. Once I saw they regurgitated half the scenes from the original, I'm all set. (Volleyball scene, piano scene, etc) Hollywood struggles to come up with original ideas nowadays, they just make worse versions of the greats.

Top Gun one and Flight of the Intruder. When they came out so many years ago I was crewing a Huey. 110 knots was balls to the walls for us. We were so jealous. There are a new generation of young Blackhawk crews who are just about to be green with envy and wishing they'd of chosen jets instead. Hell, I'm wishing I was young again just so I could climb into a Huey again just so I could spend my life going 90 knots.
Yea, I'll be there for this one. kwg |
