Saw it at the theatre back in 1986 , watched it many times at home thru the years and I have seen Top Gun Maverick twice . One of the best movies I’ve ever seen
So IRL, the kinds of conflicts we see in Top Gun kinda happened, where US jets would get in limited fights with jet fighters from places like Libya, without it turning into a full on war.
People seem to think Russian fighters means it's Russian military but they sold MIGs all over the place. Proxy skirmishes happened quite a bit with more belligerent nations.
Love this movie!! It's my dad's favorite movie and the first Tom Cruise movie I saw on VHS. It was a box office success making $360 million dollars ($798 million today) against a $15 million dollar budget. It won the Oscar for Best Original Song.
The Iceman scene in maverick is actually handled different than u think and done pretty well and effectively. The stunts are epic as hell and the story behind the whole top gun school actually has its roots grown from what happened to mav in the first.
I went to see Top Gun on first release at the Cinema back in the day. I thought it was typical, Flag waving, Yankee-Doodle, Hollywood Bullshit. But I have fond memories of that day, because a USN Carrier Task Force was in the Port of Fremantle for R&R. So the Cinema was full of Sailors who mercilessly took the piss out of every mistake and slice of bullshit. It was Hilarious!🤣🤣🤣🤣🇦🇺
Top Gun made me into an American Patriot, I was 8 years old when I saw it and it lead me to enlist in The Airforce even though I never got in. Top Gun Maverick reinforced my patriotism to The United States of America!!!! 🇺🇸
I can honestly say that any expectations you have for the sequel, it’s going to just exceed them. They did a great job with developing these characters and really just give you a great time on the screen. While I would love to see your first time reaction on here, it would be a disservice not to see it on the biggest screen you can because it’s just a great piece of film.
I told a friend at work I didn't expect it to be as good. Today I have to tell her it's better. I really didn't think it was possible for them to even equal the original but i was really impressed.
The funny part about the bar scene is that the Pilots you saw in the background of the You Lost That Loving Feeling scene were actually students and instructors of the school at the time, as well as members of some of the squadrons assigned to Miramar
The scene in the elevator was filmed after the movie was wrapped . Her hair is up in a hat mainly because she had changed her hairstyle for another movie she was already working on . I saw this the night it was released in 1986. I was a Senior in H.S. The entire theater cheered at the end. Check out Risky Business that he filmed before this. It’s really good
The guy from die hard his callsign was "Sundown" my guess is he spent his first tour of duty in a squadron based in Japan. Something I did and loved with my second squadron.
The funniest thing about this film is that China actually used clips from it in one of their newsreels to show off one of their training exercises to the public, trying to pass it off as Chinese pilots blowing up other planes
During the singing scene, the guy singing behind Goose's right shoulder is the Navy Lt assigned to coordinate the production. And Charlie's "date" is Admiral Pete "Viper" Pettigrew, a Vietnam vet, former Topgun instructor with a MiG kill to his name.
After 30 viewings, there should be only one thing you’re confused about…not that there’s anything wrong with that 😉 And Clarence Gilyard Jr., who played Sundown and the hacker nerd in Die Hard, also was Chuck Norris’ longtime partner in Walker, Texas Ranger.
19:25 The scene in the elevator was actually a reshoot. Both actors had already moved on to other projects. Tom Cruise's hair was longer (he was shooting Color of Money) so they wet it and slicked it back to hide it, and Kelly McGillis had changed her hair completely (style and coloured brunette) so they hid it with a hat. The love scene later was also a late addition, and shot in silhouette to , again, hide McGillis's hair.
It totality, I’ve likely “seen” the crux of the whole story. But I’m talking front to back, hit play and watch it. And with the cultural osmosis etc, it felt like I had. You feel me?
@@SeanTanktop LOL Yeah, I feel you man. Just playin' around. "Top Gun" is just so iconic in terms of modern "cinema", it's like... you *have* to watch it, just to get a sense of a specific point in time haha.
The sequel is incredible! Definitely one you will regret if you don’t catch it in theatre. I’d hate to miss the reaction opportunity on the channel though.
Watching this film always reminds me of one of the craziest true aviation stories EVER. In the Korean War, an American pilot engaged a North Korean pilot in a dogfight. They eventually literally flew threw a canyon Trench Run/Pod-racing style, and even at one point ended up right next to each other, and flipped each other off. Eventually, they actually (to the American pilots initial dismay) ended up flying over the North Korean airbase, but he pulled back and got the drop on the North Korean pilot just as it happened. He shot down the North Korean pilot, whose plane proceeded to not only crash, but cartwheel in a fiery blaze of glory through a dozen or so parked and grounded North Korean fighter planes. True, verified story. Talk about "Danger Zone" needing to play IRL if there ever was a moment 😄
So that Green dye is a real thing that comes out as soon as the suit gets wet. It helps either the USCG or USN rescue helicopter to locate pilots that eject into the water. By the way training for those water ejections at flight school now that was an absolute bit$# to go through.
As someone who left the Navy holding that air boss's rank as well as "Viper"s I can say 100% Mavrick would have been ab absolute dead man had he pulled that with me.
The encounter at the beginning and also the battle depicted at the end of Top Gun are loosely based on the 1981 two day plus encounters in the Gulf of Sidra between US F-14s and Libyan Sukhoy Fitters (also Russian origin). Both Fitters were downed in the ocean by Tomcats when they attempted to approach two US Carrier Battle Groups conducting training exercises across Khadfi's self-declared "Line of Death" (which encroached far into widely recognized international waters). Libyan aircraft had previously fired on US aircraft which had crossed the line. Before the downing, US pilots gave the finger to and photographed Libyan crews (which is obviously identical to the humorous encounter in Top Gun.) The next day, things escalated when a Libyan jet fired a missile. It was the first test of F-14s in battle. Ten minute summary of the incident is here: th-cam.com/video/YpkYvPx9iEI/w-d-xo.html
33:33 the missiles are already traveling at the same speed as the jet, being attached to it, before being fired. considering during a dogfight they are not going top speed, and missiles generally go faster than most aircrafts.... why is that so hard for him to wrap around his head? 🤔😂
Saw a video of fighter pilots reacting to the Maverick trailer and they said typically you don't have your name on the plane. They didn't clarify when and why you would, but said it does happen.
Every movie should have a slo mo moment where the conversation stops and we hear *dun Dun dun DUN dun*, just to be super awkward. Frodo and Gandalf, John McClaine and Zeus, Tony Stark and Cap, Turner and Hooch. Someone make this a meme!
The part where maverick flexes while checking the time is hyper homoerotic! Not to mention the part where he leans in close to his classmate and sniffs his body odor, WOWWWWWW...Just WOW LOL!
“Unless you look like Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, or Anthony Edwards don’t attempt this in a bar” My boyfriend and I went as Charlie and Maverick last year for Halloween. We were at with some friends at a Halloween party at a bar and he decided to reenact this scene and the entire bar joined in to sing.
This is a great movie. I just recently found out that there was a real life pilot with the code name Viper in the military with a confirmed MIG kill and he’s in the movie. He’s the guy that Charlotte is meeting at the bar after Maverick sings to her. I love during the final flyby Iceman joins Maverick.
The green in the water is from dye packs built into the life jackets. It's there to make them easier to see from the air so the rescue helicopter can find them.
My mom loved it too. When we saw it in the movie theater she said, "If we sit here long enough they'll show it again.". I thought of her so much when I saw Top Gun Maverick, have seen it twice.
@@cimarronwm9329 it's been so long since I saw the og. My grampy had it on vhs. I almost don't wanna watch it again only cuz the last time I saw it was with him
I can understand that. That being said I had bittersweet nostalgia watching it for that very reason, but I enjoyed the memories, and the film has all the right Grace notes of music, and references and echos. So it is a great place feeling that time again.
I saw this movie when I was about 5 and right then and there, I knew what I wanted to do in life. Never got to fly the Tomcat but I did fly the F/A-18 Hornet E and F models which both are used in TOPGUN Mavrick. (E is single seat F like the Tomcat is a 2 seated aircraft manned by a pilot and WSO).

Growing up as a kid in the 80s and 90s I was led by the movies of that era to believe that the only way grownups kissed was very exaggerated French kissing, anything less was kids’ stuff. To the girls I kissed during that time period of early learning, I can only say “I’m sorry”.
Considering how Tom Cruise has aged compared to how all the other actors have aged, I seriously think the guy is Bilbo Baggins and has a Ring of Power squirreled away somewhere.
the term bogey is a real term its used for an unidentified aircraft presumed to have hostile intent. In that opening scene as soon as that "MIG 28" (In reality the aircraft is an F-5) locked on to "Couger" with missile lock that plane went from bogey to hostile and at that point risked being shot right out of the sky really quick. I've intercepted actual Russian as well as Chinese aircraft that luckily played smart and did not do something stupid because at that moment, I had a lock on and had they decided not to play nice I would have fired in a heartbeat if it was required.
@@SeanTanktop Can also tell you for the opening is what you would go through the set up for a successful launch though some of the hand signals shown are not what are used. Those guys that did the somewhat of a football kick when the F-14 touched down they are "shooters" and give the final signal to launch an aircraft what they were doing in the opening I never once saw, that was in the area where aircraft come into land but if one was on approach at the time those yellow shirts would be absolutely nowhere near that area unless they wanted to get turned into road kill. the signal to stop was correct with the two hands held up over the head held into fists had that footage continued one of the arms would have dropped signaling the pilot to drop the front catapult hook located on the front wheel to be set into the catapult itself. The Guy in the movie that gave that signal that looked like a salute he is a plane captain that signal is giving control over to a shooter and not to launch off the catapult. The guy holding that device in his hand over his head is known as "paddles" or officially as an LSO (Landing Signal Officer) they are the ones that both direct in and grade a landing aircraft they are also shown on the far side of the runway as an aircraft touches down. The Tomcat that hit the one wire on landing he's getting a bad grade he came in low which is why that wire was hit. Goal is always to try and hit the 2 or 3 wire, hit the 4 your approach was too high and like with the 1 wire you just got lucky (1 is the worst of the 4 to hit). When "Mavrick" took off to save Couger that footage was either of an F-14 missing the wires and going around for another attempt or going through the nightmare known as Carrier quals. which can be almost as stressful as a bad weather trap (fighter jargon for landing) especially if it's your first time qualifying.
You guys should watch Days of Thunder. It's a spiritual sequel to Top Gun in everything from the star (Tom Cruise), director (Tony Scott), producers (Don Simpson & Jerry Bruckheimer), and even plot structure. It's basically Top Gun on wheels. It also kinds sucks as it lacks the fun cheese and cool atmosphere of Top Gun, & doesn't do a good job of leaning into itself in a fun way the way Top Gun does, but it's worth watching just to see how this team tried to replicate this same style of film and fail so hard, lol.
Yes generally 99.9% of the time from the time you're on the catapult till the time you trap on the carrier the mask stays on. you can breathe fine under 10,000 feet without it on, but the problem is if you do no one is going to hear anything you say because it is a whole lot louder in one of those cockpits than what it seems in this movie.
@@SeanTanktop apparently, you have no clue about capitalization...or punctuation. Brave has nothing to do with it. You were just annoying as f, like typical millennials.
7:25 in engagements and maneuvers etc yes, they're going to always have the masks on. But if you're just in down time flying back its actually not unusual.
Those were the working whites not the dress whites (Which is seen being worn at the graduation ceremony). And yes, an officer could go out in public wearing one of those uniforms (Though they were in the O club on base in the movie) There have been plenty of times where I went out to the bar with fellow officers in the winter blues/khakis/and summer whites. When it comes to the dress whites those are worn for very special occasions and generally not something I would wear out in public other than if there was an event going on for Memorial Day or Independence Day..
No, you don't always have to wear the mask. You only need to wear it, if you want to breathe (Somewhere above 15,000 feet), or you want to talk over the comms. Otherwise, you can take it off. The bar scene, where they're singing, is at the base's Officer's Club, not an off-base bar. The flying scenes in this movie are all real-life flying, not CGI. I'm guessing that in the new movie, Top Gun 2, about 90% of the flying scenes are CGI.
Top Gun is one of my favorite movies of all time. Top Gun Maverick is already the best sequel I’ve ever seen. It’s the only sequel I’ve ever seen that actually makes the first movie seem better. I feel like it adds substance to the original. I rewatched Top Gun for the 100th time before seeing the sequel and again after. I totally saw Iceman from a different perspective after seeing the sequel. I always thought he was kind of a dick but now it seems like he was trying to make Maverick a better pilot. You also get to see more of the emotional toll that Goose’s death has on Maverick and it makes his character even better.
19:00 the “going to a date after a volleyball match without a shower still annoys me even after 35+ years. Have you ever tried to put on a shirt after sun+sweat+sand combo? Disgusting
agree with you guys. you have to suspend belief about how the Soviets would just fire on the Americans like that and not have some major conflict erupt.
Thoroughly entertained by your reactions to the movie! Are you guys going to get together to do a review of TopGun Maverick after watching it? Would be cool to see that!
My question is why is an astrophysicist advising fighter pilots? Why not a civilian contractor specializing in military intelligence or something in a tactical aviation related field?
If it weren't for the pilots, those aircraft could fly as fast as the environmental stressess would allow. It's those pesky humans that are the limiting factor.

The return of Manly Movie Monday….Thank you sir…no tears.
Any chance “The Northman” will make it to Manly Movie Mondays anytime? 👍👍
I love Manly Movie Mondays!! You guys are awesome!
The first one is only worth it as it was tom before he joined Scientology and sadly became what he is now
One unappreciated treasure this movie has? Prime Michael Ironside and Tom Skerritt performances. Jester and Viper hold it down.
DAMN STRAIGHT!
Second best Michael Ironside role, the first being his character in Starship Troopers?
Director Tony Scott cast Skeritt because he brought so much authority to his role of Dallas, the captain in ALIEN, directed by Tony's brother Ridley.
@@Andorski How about General Katana in Highlander 2? Sure, the movie is ass, but Ironside's having a lot of fun.
I guess nobody remembers Ironside in Total Recall? He made a great secondary villain!
Top Gun Maverick is easily the best sequel I’ve seen in years. RIP Tony Scott
Saw it at the theatre back in 1986 , watched it many times at home thru the years and I have seen Top Gun Maverick twice . One of the best movies I’ve ever seen

This is Pablo Picasso's blue period....OMG! Subscribed.
You dont need the oxygen mask if your flying low enough. You also get issued multiple sets of dog tags.
Yeah, basically 15,000 ft or below.
Makes sense about the dog tags. I’m sure during Vietnam War, for example, families got their loved ones’ tags even if the servicemen didn’t come home.

Sean couldn't give it an A because he was triggered by the characters. He's thrown to many of them out of the bar.
Ed you don't know how right you are.
The REAL question is...how did they fit Tim Robbins in a fighter cockpit?

In case you're wondering why the Top Gun Anthem (instrumental guitar) kinda sounds familiar.... it's Eddie Van Halen.
That wasn’t a sex scene, Tom Cruise is a living Scientology E-Meter. He was just tasting her to measure her Thetan levels.

Growing up as a kid in the 80s and 90s I was led by the movies of that era to believe that the only way grownups kissed was very exaggerated French kissing, anything less was kids’ stuff.
To the girls I kissed during that time period of early learning, I can only say “I’m sorry”.
Also for the record movies like Independence day and Air force one those are all USAF fighters while TOPGUN is Navy.
Considering how Tom Cruise has aged compared to how all the other actors have aged, I seriously think the guy is Bilbo Baggins and has a Ring of Power squirreled away somewhere.
He’s had decades of Scientology slaves tending to his wishes
As low as they are flying, they do not need to wear the oxygen mask, which is only required at altitude
the term bogey is a real term its used for an unidentified aircraft presumed to have hostile intent. In that opening scene as soon as that "MIG 28" (In reality the aircraft is an F-5) locked on to "Couger" with missile lock that plane went from bogey to hostile and at that point risked being shot right out of the sky really quick. I've intercepted actual Russian as well as Chinese aircraft that luckily played smart and did not do something stupid because at that moment, I had a lock on and had they decided not to play nice I would have fired in a heartbeat if it was required.
Thanks for all the info dude!!
@@SeanTanktop Can also tell you for the opening is what you would go through the set up for a successful launch though some of the hand signals shown are not what are used.
Those guys that did the somewhat of a football kick when the F-14 touched down they are "shooters" and give the final signal to launch an aircraft what they were doing in the opening I never once saw, that was in the area where aircraft come into land but if one was on approach at the time those yellow shirts would be absolutely nowhere near that area unless they wanted to get turned into road kill.
the signal to stop was correct with the two hands held up over the head held into fists had that footage continued one of the arms would have dropped signaling the pilot to drop the front catapult hook located on the front wheel to be set into the catapult itself.
The Guy in the movie that gave that signal that looked like a salute he is a plane captain that signal is giving control over to a shooter and not to launch off the catapult. The guy holding that device in his hand over his head is known as "paddles" or officially as an LSO (Landing Signal Officer) they are the ones that both direct in and grade a landing aircraft they are also shown on the far side of the runway as an aircraft touches down.
The Tomcat that hit the one wire on landing he's getting a bad grade he came in low which is why that wire was hit. Goal is always to try and hit the 2 or 3 wire, hit the 4 your approach was too high and like with the 1 wire you just got lucky (1 is the worst of the 4 to hit).
When "Mavrick" took off to save Couger that footage was either of an F-14 missing the wires and going around for another attempt or going through the nightmare known as Carrier quals. which can be almost as stressful as a bad weather trap (fighter jargon for landing) especially if it's your first time qualifying.
Lex... takes my breath away 🎶🎶
You guys should watch Days of Thunder. It's a spiritual sequel to Top Gun in everything from the star (Tom Cruise), director (Tony Scott), producers (Don Simpson & Jerry Bruckheimer), and even plot structure. It's basically Top Gun on wheels. It also kinds sucks as it lacks the fun cheese and cool atmosphere of Top Gun, & doesn't do a good job of leaning into itself in a fun way the way Top Gun does, but it's worth watching just to see how this team tried to replicate this same style of film and fail so hard, lol.
Yes generally 99.9% of the time from the time you're on the catapult till the time you trap on the carrier the mask stays on. you can breathe fine under 10,000 feet without it on, but the problem is if you do no one is going to hear anything you say because it is a whole lot louder in one of those cockpits than what it seems in this movie.
Sean.. You take my breath away, now take me to the danger zone and lose me forever.
Just don't lose that lovin' feeling
This is literally the most 'millennial little boy' reaction I have ever seen.
How are we to think your the brave one, you’re afraid of capital letters
@@SeanTanktop apparently, you have no clue about capitalization...or punctuation. Brave has nothing to do with it. You were just annoying as f, like typical millennials.
7:25 in engagements and maneuvers etc yes, they're going to always have the masks on. But if you're just in down time flying back its actually not unusual.
Those were the working whites not the dress whites (Which is seen being worn at the graduation ceremony). And yes, an officer could go out in public wearing one of those uniforms (Though they were in the O club on base in the movie) There have been plenty of times where I went out to the bar with fellow officers in the winter blues/khakis/and summer whites. When it comes to the dress whites those are worn for very special occasions and generally not something I would wear out in public other than if there was an event going on for Memorial Day or Independence Day..
Tom Cruise is the only man on Earth that can FLY A SUBMARINE.
MORE MANLY MOVIE MONDAYS!!!
Based your post-movie commentary, I think you guys will really like Maverick.
Now, Top Gun Maverick EASILY topped this movie in every aspect. You GOT to see it in a movie theatre, preferably IMAX.
guy on the left. SEXY LEGS!!!
a missile actually goes about 2x the speed of the aircraft it's being fired from.
No, you don't always have to wear the mask. You only need to wear it, if you want to breathe (Somewhere above 15,000 feet), or you want to talk over the comms. Otherwise, you can take it off. The bar scene, where they're singing, is at the base's Officer's Club, not an off-base bar. The flying scenes in this movie are all real-life flying, not CGI. I'm guessing that in the new movie, Top Gun 2, about 90% of the flying scenes are CGI.
Top Gun is one of my favorite movies of all time. Top Gun Maverick is already the best sequel I’ve ever seen. It’s the only sequel I’ve ever seen that actually makes the first movie seem better. I feel like it adds substance to the original. I rewatched Top Gun for the 100th time before seeing the sequel and again after. I totally saw Iceman from a different perspective after seeing the sequel. I always thought he was kind of a dick but now it seems like he was trying to make Maverick a better pilot. You also get to see more of the emotional toll that Goose’s death has on Maverick and it makes his character even better.
19:00 the “going to a date after a volleyball match without a shower still annoys me even after 35+ years.
Have you ever tried to put on a shirt after sun+sweat+sand combo? Disgusting
agree with you guys. you have to suspend belief about how the Soviets would just fire on the Americans like that and not have some major conflict erupt.
Sean looks so hot ugh
You gotta add "Iron Eagle" to your list. It's manly and craptastic
“You just lost a million in oil!” ( drops bomb)
Believe this was a summertime dollar movie cinema watch for young me
Thoroughly entertained by your reactions to the movie! Are you guys going to get together to do a review of TopGun Maverick after watching it? Would be cool to see that!
I need to rewatch this after I watch this video and before I watch the new one tomorrow night
One of the most aggressively homoerotic movies made.
oh that is adressed in this watch
But according the Breitbart, Top Gun is “Masculine and Pro-America”, and the success of its sequel supports their positions on everything!! 😆😂😆
The Eighties were mental for the homoeroticism, Top Gun and Rocky 3.
@@SeanTanktop Love your "Crash" shirt Sean.
Most overtly homoerotic scene... Top gun beach volleyball or Apollo & Rocky training montage in rocky 3?
Mike? Well her name is Charlie 😆
Shouldn’t the sequel be called “Bottom Gun?”
Can I call you mike , if he tops he tops 😆
My question is why is an astrophysicist advising fighter pilots? Why not a civilian contractor specializing in military intelligence or something in a tactical aviation related field?
RIP Tony Scott.
DANGER ZONE HYPE!
is that vato wearing croc chanclas?
no judgement, just wondering
Haha. Son Los Burkincrocs 😂
Okay this is trippy. I just watched this for the first time last week now this??
Top Tier manlyness?! Guess ya never seen Tango and Cash!
Specifically couldn’t wait to see you all react to Goose dying.
I remember Seth Rogan mentioned they had to go back and include a love scene.
A stunt guy died filming Goose death scene
Thank you for bringing this back!!! Made my day!!!
Thank you for coming!
@@SeanTanktop Do you have a P.O. box for your chanel? I tried to send you a dvd last year to the bar. It came back, I guess i mgot the address wrong.
Sean, please search Tarantino top gun, You guys gonna love it.
19:39 good one
"You've lost that lovin feelin" always seemed like a strange choice. You just met the chick, how do you know what she lost?
If it weren't for the pilots, those aircraft could fly as fast as the environmental stressess would allow. It's those pesky humans that are the limiting factor.
I'm good with the first top gun. I'm not saying the second one won't be good. But it's a Tom cruise movie what do you think.
The sequel is better than the first, and I saw the first one as a teen in theatre.
TOPGUN: Mavrick 100 times better than the original
I never seen it also. Hear 2 is the best one now though. :)
I think I like Monday Manspread movies
Ice………Man.

WURR YO MAS'
