Hi all, I was the creator of this video years ago, and barely ever use You Tube, but tonight I thought I'd punch Ghostriders into the search bar and see if someone uploaded it... and wow, almost 25,000 views (combined postings I've found so far)!! Thanks very much for the comments guys. I was pretty proud of it at the time - It also made it to the coverdisc and a short article in PC Powerplay in Australia (issue 100 I think?).
Some asked how I did the inverted "birdie" scene - I hate to break you hearts but I cheated - I screen grabbed, photoshopped then green screened it in - but I didn't not do it in-game from a lack of trying!! Spent countless hours trying to get it right, but planes just aren't meant to do that I don't think! Thanks again for the comments, I'm glad most people have enjoyed it!
@highground88 Its possible and its been done in real life but in video games its near impossible since you need either an AI or human player to fly in a straight constant line, then catch up to him and match his exact speed while getting directly ontop and going inverted. Then making minor adjustments with your joystich to avoid crashing into the other plane. While trying to capture it on camera.
@thegamerman7 ya imma miss that Intercepter it'll nvr replace wat we had for it but it's legacy will live on in movies like Top Gun tho and in games so noone will forget it was an actual aircraft like the Ho-9
Uhuuuu.... Great.... very very Great.... muito bom.... gosto muito de Lockon, sei o tanto que é dificil de jogá-lo e ainda fazer um video.... homenageando TopGun..... parabéns
more of a recreation rather than a parody, but surely couldn't get any better!Amazing flying and editing!!Well done! Btw, did I see a cockpit mod for the F-14?
@blackkinglespy iirc this was made before lock on flaming cliff was even available. I know it has been many years since I played LOMAC and that was when it first came out. As for the parody, I know - I have already conceeded it was the wrong choice of word. Still awesome bit of editing though from the guy who made it.
I think FongTinez is right. This was a reenactment, a remake, not a parody. This is what parody means in the dictionary: a literary or musical work in which the style of an author or work is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule
I know this will be a late comment but Dude awesome movie and the title should have been a Tribute to The Tom cat F14 Grumman Jolly rogers XD . any ways good short movie Hats off mate :D
Wow. I misspelled a ton in that last post (like 5 seconds ago >__>) Uhm, What I meant to say was: Parody's arent always funny, but are meant to imitate the subject.
Exactly my point. "closely imitated". So this video is still considered a parody. And I think what I said was a little messy. What I meant to say was" Parody's arend always funny, but are meant to imitate the subject.
unmmmmmmmmmmm you could try using a program called "audicity" which allows you to select your sound card as your recording device, so it basically records whats coming out of your speakers
There is no such thing as a MIG-28, those are F-5s. MIGs are only given odd numbers. They do stuff like this in movies way too much. But not a bad job on the editing. Looks like a fun game.
TopGun "Parody" from LOCKON Modern Air Combat it's not parody.... and not lock on modern air combat but lock on flaming cliff... lol so, good movie... press ctrl + j, to have air effects with your camera... ;)
Huh, sorry. I'm so addicted to flame wars that sometimes I think I'm in one just because. So let me carry this on: So you thought this piece was funny. But is it any funnier than the original? If so, why, what makes it funnier than the original?
I found it funny, so would that mean it's a parody? I have a sense of humor, so, isn't it up to what I found funny? Making it a parody? Also, calling people names is mean, and I don't really appreciate it. By the way, I'm still young, and learning, so I'm probably going to argue about it untill I get it. No need to get mean D:
"Exactly my point. "closely imitated"." Your problem is hardly limited to mispelling. Let's try again. For you to have a parody, TWO conditions must be met: 1) it must closely imitate the original 2) FOR COMIC EFFECT OR RIDICULE, YOU TUMBLING TUMBLING DICKWEED!! This video only meets the first criteria, so it's not a parody. I'll repeat what this video is: it's a remake. A reenactment. So what you might want to say is: "a REENACTMENT isn't ALWAYS funny. When it is funny, it is a parody"

Thanks dude, I never made it, but the guy who did, did an awesome job. Way ahead of its time, just like the game was back then.
That was great dude!!!!! Nice work!
Dude..that is an EXCELLENT VIDEO!! I picked LOCKON the other day at Target..but haven't loaded it yet. I think I will now! Again....awesome vid!!
Awesome bit of work, glad that you don't mind my posting of it.
Dudes you did some great work.
heh heh, sooner or later I'm sure this will be re-enacted using DCS......when they get the F-14 and F-5E.
EPIC FORESHADOWING
@NCOProductions
I am pretty sure it is:
The Discharge - Trevor Rabin from the film ConAir if you mean the very start.
Excellent job very well done 5-stars
Cats forever....Damn nice planes.
Great job too!
Very fun. Top notch!

great video
'Is this your idea of fun?'
'Watch the birdie!' *Flash*
'This is a great shot, I should become a photographer.'
WIN!
just saw the end credit. highground! LOL he was hilarious.
@highground88 Its possible and its been done in real life but in video games its near impossible since you need either an AI or human player to fly in a straight constant line, then catch up to him and match his exact speed while getting directly ontop and going inverted.

OK - I got parody wrong, but its still awesome and very well done.
Awesome!!!
hahaha so damn cool i love the movie, those scenes... perfect whahaha my compliments from the netherlands...
@thegamerman7 ya imma miss that Intercepter it'll nvr replace wat we had for it but it's legacy will live on in movies like Top Gun tho and in games so noone will forget it was an actual aircraft like the Ho-9
impresionante!!!
muy bien echo tio
awsome vids ! how did you bee abel ( sorry for my bad english ) to tacke him in picture its just like the movie 5/5 verry good vids welle donne
HAHAHA you are an artist man! fucking A, a masterpiece. i'd love to fly lock on with you someday
awesome!
amazing man! great job!
I didn't make this video so cannot take credit. I just found it on my hard drive from when I used to play LOCKON
Yes, but there is also a Gold Version available, including all patches. latest patch I think is from 2004
Uhuuuu.... Great.... very very Great.... muito bom.... gosto muito de Lockon, sei o tanto que é dificil de jogá-lo e ainda fazer um video.... homenageando TopGun..... parabéns
more of a recreation rather than a parody, but surely couldn't get any better!Amazing flying and editing!!Well done!
Btw, did I see a cockpit mod for the F-14?
for a minute i thought the ship was moving..lol
I haven't played this game for years dude, no idea.
@blackkinglespy
iirc this was made before lock on flaming cliff was even available. I know it has been many years since I played LOMAC and that was when it first came out.
As for the parody, I know - I have already conceeded it was the wrong choice of word. Still awesome bit of editing though from the guy who made it.
Great work !
'number of times told to get off the PC by my girlfriend " priceless I feel you brother i've been there so many times!
Yeeha! awesome!
That is even closer than Mavs did )
@ExaltedLeader yeah but in the movie the used T-38's and called them mig-28's since some russian planes are called migs
Again I never did this so really cannot take any credit.
However, I agree its very well done.
that was soooooooooooooo cool :)
@highground88
Haha, I could tell it was 'shopped. Kick-ass vid man!
"except that one..."
I think FongTinez is right. This was a reenactment, a remake, not a parody. This is what parody means in the dictionary:
a literary or musical work in which the style of an author or work is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule
COOL!
wow! good job
good video. like in real film Ton Gun. :)
NICE
I know this will be a late comment but Dude awesome movie and the title should have been a Tribute to The Tom cat F14 Grumman Jolly rogers XD . any ways good short movie Hats off mate :D
I knew the guy who made this video... but can't remember the name. Was in the same flight sim community
Thanks bonham 1981 !
Can anyone help me please? How/where can I get the main menu soundtrack of the Lock On? I want to set it on my mobile. Please help. Thanks!
@DreamAboutSpace Ive always heard 2007. Are you sure?
I actualy did the Topgun manouververy fun XD!
@chbox The Crystal Method - Weapons Of Mass Distortion
Wow. I misspelled a ton in that last post (like 5 seconds ago >__>)
Uhm, What I meant to say was: Parody's arent always funny, but are meant to imitate the subject.
the game in the video is "LOCKON Modern Air Combat" ? the first release of 2003?
Anyone still playing this in 2018 or interested I. It?
Look up DCS World, mate. Modern version of LOMAC
I am thinking about buying lock on what r the planes???
Exactly my point. "closely imitated".
So this video is still considered a parody.
And I think what I said was a little messy.
What I meant to say was" Parody's arend always funny, but are meant to imitate the subject.
@highground88 Well done.
unmmmmmmmmmmm you could try using a program called "audicity" which allows you to select your sound card as your recording device, so it basically records whats coming out of your speakers
cool
v cool
There is no such thing as a MIG-28, those are F-5s. MIGs are only given odd numbers. They do stuff like this in movies way too much.
But not a bad job on the editing. Looks like a fun game.
@preserverofislam There was no ski ramp...
How do you get to fly the F-14 Tomcat? I want to fly it, it is best plane of all time!
@thegamerman7 actually it was 2006
Launch Maverick on alert 5.
Are the F14.FA18 and the F16 flyable?
that was pretty cool, how did you get the F-14 addon to lockon?
this is better than the film
BTW: the thing on 5:38 IS ultra funny
RIP: Grumman F-14 Tomcat retired 2007.
number of times told to get off pc by girlfriend hahahahah
i agree with your...
lol i just saw that part 2 mins ago XD
haha that was funny.
What song?
Thanks anyway, bro.
name song please ¿?
biggest mistake in this vid- F-14 doesnt use ski jumps for takeoff!!
gaphics look amazing for this game. i'm more of an ace combat player though :)
haha, nice
Kewl Real Mig Northrops just like the movie lol
lets play lock on my hamachi network Lock On world
pass 123
Hi
I never made the video.
is this your idea of fun man
this is pretty awesome, but I dont see how this classifies as a 'parody'
is this an addon or you have realy F-14 in game?
@thegamerman7 yea 22 of september 2006
I can PM you the link
TopGun "Parody" from LOCKON Modern Air Combat
it's not parody.... and not lock on modern air combat but lock on flaming cliff... lol
so, good movie...
press ctrl + j, to have air effects with your camera... ;)
Huh, sorry. I'm so addicted to flame wars that sometimes I think I'm in one just because.
So let me carry this on: So you thought this piece was funny. But is it any funnier than the original? If so, why, what makes it funnier than the original?
yeah deffo..a parody is usually a bit of fun making/ recreation...but this isnt making fun of Top Gun...
coodos to the movie lol
@highground88 haha that's wat the ppl who made the movie had to do too it was just too hard to achieve and too dangerous
@raf444 The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid. ;)
@raf444 You can be my wingman anytime. ;)
is this your idea of fun mav look atthe birde
@kyuubiand9 That’s pretty arrogant, considering the company you’re in.
well thats not parody at all...good movie
I found it funny, so would that mean it's a parody?
I have a sense of humor, so, isn't it up to what I found funny? Making it a parody? Also, calling people names is mean, and I don't really appreciate it. By the way, I'm still young, and learning, so I'm probably going to argue about it untill I get it. No need to get mean D:
Parody's arent also funny, they are basicly just about whatever it is that's being parodied.
This was pretty cool. How was this a parody/How was this supposed to be funny? I thought it was pretty serioius.
@skyuser07 Bullshit, you can be mine =]
"Exactly my point. "closely imitated"."
Your problem is hardly limited to mispelling. Let's try again. For you to have a parody, TWO conditions must be met:
1) it must closely imitate the original
2) FOR COMIC EFFECT OR RIDICULE, YOU TUMBLING TUMBLING DICKWEED!!
This video only meets the first criteria, so it's not a parody. I'll repeat what this video is: it's a remake. A reenactment.
So what you might want to say is: "a REENACTMENT isn't ALWAYS funny. When it is funny, it is a parody"
