I’m an airline pilot and I saw the old movie when I was 10 years old now 30 years later it was so great to see the new one pay great tribute to the beautiful f-14 Tomcat. It is the heart and soul of Top Gun and inspired me to do what I do today. No man made object can surpass it. My teenage girls aren’t interested in becoming aviators but they love these movies and I went to a museum to show them the Tomcat and they were amazed.
A true rare occurrence of a sequel coming decades later and actually living up to the hype. The scene with Iceman is so heart wrenching on it’s so tough to see what throat cancer has done to Val Kilmer
Except the scene where he smashes his wings into icemans coffin. That was super cringe and idk why military movies do that, it's specifically a navy SEALs thing, it has nothing to do with the rest of the navy or military.
Plus 2 hours either side, to get through security and wait for the plane to be loaded and for your luggage to come out of the carousel at the other end.
The old "The Deep Space 1" (16,200 km/h) spacecraft and current "Parker Solar Probe" (692,000 km/h, or about 192 km per second, or for our US friends about 119 miles per second) enters the chat... Yeah, I know that it is a wrong comparison (no atmospheric drag so to speak), but it is stil interesting to see what is going on with technology at the moment.
Just to clarify, Mach 10 and 10 G are two very different things. Mach 10 is ten times the speed of sound roughly 7600 miles per hour. 10G is 10 times the force of gravity, which happens under extreme, sudden changes in direction, such as what is basically beyond sustainable loads for most aircraft, even military fighters. If you weigh 200 pounds, at 10G it feels like 2000 lbs. They could be made to handle more, but the pilot cannot. Typical limits are 7 to 9G. The fact that 10 was used in both the speed and G loads in this story was coincidental. Rooster wasn't out of ammunition, he was out of flares for self-defense. He still had missiles for air-to-air.
They have some safety margins also. I've heard the F-15 for example can take about 13G (9G x 1,5 margin) without theoretically shortening life span of the structure. But anything over that will gradually degrade it. I dont think there is a physical G-imiter on that plane either other than you'll get the usual warning within the safety margin at 9G.
@@martinsv9183 I remember reading about the F-18 when it was new. It was the Navy that imposed a 7.5G limit. The plane was rated for 9G, but the Navy had other ideas. The pilot could exceed 7.5G for emergencies only.
Corrosion and metal fatigue takes its toll on an airframe. Salt is very corrosive, and the Navy obviously operates in a salty environment. Catapult launches and arrested recoveries (controlled crashes), in addition to the operational stresses placed upon the aircraft, has historically required special maintenance, repair, and often replacement of stressed areas of structure, to extend the life of the platform.
Penny is the same Penny Benjamin that goose mentioned in the 1st movie when Maverick was being chewed out for high speed passes over 5 air controlled towers and 1 Admirals daughter. That's why when he sees her in her bar she says he pissed off another admiral.
Top Gun: Maverick is a masterpiece of a film. I watched it twice at the theaters with my Dad. What makes this film so great is that this movie was made after almost 36 years and this sequel definitely lived up to its expectation as it was so beautifully done with the music, the story, the dialogues, the plane flying sequences, the writing etc. Shoutout to Lady Gaga, Hanz Zimmer and One Republic for doing a fantastic job with the music. Tom Cruise never gets old as he gave another iconic performance as he always does in most of his films. The whole cast was great including Miles Teller, Monica Barbaro, Glen Powell, Danny Ramirez, Val Kilmer, Bashir Slahuddin, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, Charles Parnell, Lewis Pullman, Jay Ellis etc. Loved your reactions/analysis, take care, enjoy life, stay healthy and have a great one.
I saw this movie with my aunt and her boyfriend in theatres in 2022 and I cried twice when maverick gets thrown out of the bar and sees Rooster playing on piano, bringing back the memories of Goose playing the piano in the original 1986 Top Gun movie and Iceman’s funeral
Tom Cruise actually got himself in a bit of trouble with the funeral scene. The SEAL community was none too happy with how Maverick hammered his aviator wings into the coffin. That is a naval tradition reserved only for SEALS and no one else.
@@RickLacy-b3x A lot of the things the character did would have been criminal under the UCMJ. But Tom Cruise himself actually landed himself in hot water with the scene.
With the flight experience that he has, Cruise would be able to fly a F-18 - but only perform basic maneuvers (no supersonic flight, no carrier landings). He did ask if he could take the controls in flight, but the Navy wouldn't let him. Won't surprise me if he shows up at an airshow with a T-38 one of these days...
Hi Girls, I loved this movie. I thought it was better than the first one. Tom didn't fly the jets but he did fly the Mustang at the end (the propeller aircraft), he's a highly trained pilot but not on jets. I loved how real it was and how they allowed men to have emotions at last.
@@Britcarjunkie I know the p51 is his but my point being tom would not be qualified to fly an f18 fighter jet different kettle of fish entirely you would need to be military or former
I watched it in theater's and gave away that I used to fly because every time they pulled G's I was going through the same exercises required to stay conscious. Old habits never really do die I guess.
Tom Cruise was flying his actual airplane at the end and during the final fight scene. That was also his personal jet. The only CGI used were the missiles and the CGI mesh used to make toms plane look like an F14. During the training missions and the actual mission. They were actually in F18s and Blue angles stunt pilots were flying while the actors sat in the back and it was filmed to look like they were flying but they were still in those jets none the less. Tom wanted to fly an actual F18 but the military wouldnt let him xD.
The stats of this film is crazy: The #1 movie of 2022. Best sequel of 2022. #1 movie of the decade. The 2nd film to gross over $1 billion in the movie theatre re-booming during Covid-19. Tom Cruise's biggest movie ever. A great story with so much nostagia of the original. The director, Joseph Kosinski has worked with Cruise before on the movie, Obilvion (2013). To be made and be made as real as possible makes this a great piece of work. Seeing Val Kilmer as Iceman again was so heartwarming, especially with knowing what he's really gone through. Top Gun has the longest running video game series, based on an film ever (1986-2010). The 18th and final game on PS3 subtitled "Hard Lock" (2010) and the plot is set years after the first film. Maverick as an instructor to a new generation of pilots and his best student, Lance Webb aka Spider taking on an elite special mission (predating the movie's own sequel). But in any event, the years of waiting for TG:M to was so worth the admission.
30:37 - Yes - they actually filmed them inside an airborn supersonic F-18, but with a real fighter-pilot flying. The actors were in the back seat. The scenes of Bob losing consciousness were real as were the speed and g-force pulling their skin downwards. They were experiencing the real stomach twisting g-forces that fighter-pilots feel.
Penny was mentioned in the first. The girst general was in Apollo 13 and the amazing jet flight and first astronaut movie, the right stuff! Bob, is a pilot, his real dad is Bill Pullman, the pilot and president in Independence Day!😮😮😮. Tom convinced hangman to get his pilots license, he did! And starred in a true story movie about 2 pilots in the Korean war! Tom has multiple licences, including his pilots licence ..the plane at the end, is his!😮😮😮 Iceman couldn't talk, he really has throat cancer. Tom had his movie voice done by AI. Rooster really learned to play the piano, for this movie. The actors flew for 90 days, and got jet fuel suckness, and had to control all their own onboard gear. Mics, cams, gear they were wearing, everything!
Mach is a measure of speed. It represents the speed or sound, so Mach 10 means he is flying 10 times the speed of sound. G is the force equivalent to gravity, not the speed Maverick was flying in the opening sequence. It's like that ride in the fair where they put you in a loop and you get stuck to the wall, the faster it turns, the heavier you feel tied to the wall of the ride. 10 G is equivalent to 10 times the gravitational force of Earth, so if you weight 70 kg, you will feel like you weight 700 kg. If the weigh of your arm to maintain it around the control lever is 6 kg, it would feel like it weights 60 kg, so it is a battle just to keep your hands on the controls.
One big change was that they could mount GoPro cameras on the inside & outside of the Super Hornets for terrific shots. All the actors were shot in the back seat of an F/A-18F to make it look like they were piloting. The Gs were real. If you go back & watch the scene in the first movie, where they're being chewed out by the CAG, that officer mentioned an admiral's daughter, Patty Benjamin. Surprise!! Fun Fact: it's TOPGUN, not TOP GUN. Just sayin'. Maverick didn't become the "fastest man alive." The Shuttle went far faster than Mach 10 on re-entry.
Such an amazing reaction and such a great movie! Great job ladies! The amusing thing for me that almost no one seems to get is that Hangman is Maverick as he would have been if he had been flying one of the typical single-seat fighters instead of the two-seat F-14s used in the original Top Gun. The main thing that kept Maverick from being what Hangman was is that Mav always had Goose, who was his conscience in some ways, riding brakes on Mav's worst impulses and making them not so bad. Mav was responsible to and for Goose, and since Goose was his only family Mav usually held himself in check so he wouldn't let Goose down. Hangman didn't have a back seater to be responsible to and for, so he could go all out to prove he was the best he could be and better than everyone else, which justly earned him his callsign: because he'd always hang you out to dry to prove you weren't as good as he was. Luckily, and thankfully, Hangman learned the important lesson about teamwork through Mav, who uniquely understood Hangman's driven personality. Hangman's character development was a very well done part of the movie too. In an early script, Hangman was to be Ice's son. I'm glad they scrapped that. In the F-18 scenes, professional military pilots were doing the actual flying, but the back seat cockpits were set up to look like the real thing. The tech advances for getting us inside the cockpit with the actor were amazing! And the actors had additional duties to their usual acting as they had to test and make sure the cameras were set and focused properly, that their makeup was good, and that the shots were as near perfect as possible. The director had the toughest time since all he could do was stand around and wait until the day's flying was done, then collect all the day's filming out of the onboard camera systems and take it to watch for the first time then and make notes for the next day's flying. The actors actually had to go through an intensive training program to prepare them for flying in the fighters. I imagine there was some vomit hosed out of the cockpit after some of those maneuvers. Even though the actors, from what I remember, were never taken above 4G, that's nothing to sneeze at. Especially over time. I know the Fury 325 roller coaster at Carowinds near where I grew up in Charlotte, NC is said to max out at around 4Gs, that's just for a short period of time. The WWII plane Cruise was working on at the beginning and flying at the end of the movie is his own personal plane that he is licensed to fly. He took members of the cast and crew up in it for fun in between work. That had to be a blast. Val Kilmer, of course, had been fighting throat cancer in real life, but it was important to have him in this movie and he wanted to be there. His voice in the scenes was a programmed synthesized voice, but it was perfectly his voice as it might be. It was so good to see them as such close friends, and to know that Ice had constantly been Mav's guardian angel, keeping him in the service no matter what Mav did to get himself dismissed. And it showed a lot of how well Ice really understood Mav, and explains a lot of Mav's behaviors in the early movie. Mav is basically suicidally depressed when the movie starts, but he's not the suicidal type, so he looks for situations where he can go out doing what he does best, but he fights to survive anyway because that is his nature. Ignoring how he feels (typical man, I know) he focuses on something else that he can control: flying. All Mav has is the service. He has no family. Even Goose's family he's not close to, though we only learn why as the movie advances. The Navy and the people he works with, best shown in Hondo, are the only family he has. So he pushes beyond Mach 10 because the project is going to be shut down and he'll lose the team/family he's been working with and, knowing as he does that Ice has been fighting cancer, he is aware that his long-term guardian angel might not be able to keep him where he needs to be. His time is running out, and he's well aware of that, so if he stays in pure Maverick mode and pushes juuust a bit more, and a bit more again, then maybe he can go out doing what he loves before that is taken away from him too. So he does. But he survives. And his guardian angel is still able to shift him back to someplace he needs to be. And, whether this was Ice's grand plan knowing who all from Pete's history was there or not, Mav ends up where he needs to be to reestablish a will to live beyond the military. Reestablishment of his old family with Rooster. Rediscovery and, much more importantly, a new appreciation of an old flame (mentioned but never seen in the original movie). And suddenly Mav has every reason to not die in the cockpit. So, of course, he must go and do something that could very easily make him die in the cockpit. In a Hollyweird full of shallow and dull movies and shows with shallow, poorly done scripts and no actual thought behind them and shallow, unrealistic characters who only change in shallow ways if at all, a movie of this great depth made me so happy to see. I can watch it again and again and love it still. So very well done. For all the concerns I've had for Tom Cruise's weirdnesses in the past, he is absolutely a glorious hero for making this movie happen.
Okay, just for the record, Tom Cruise specifically says this movie was meant to be watched on the BIG screen in a theater. The reward is so much much better. With that said, ENJOY! 🎉 ~ Tony
The little things in this movie were fantastic when he had 33 rounds left in the machine gun during one of the last fight scenes it was 33 years since the original movie. Of course the whole Penny thing and just all the nods to the original movie. A true masterpiece of a rollercoaster ride. I still get choked up watching these videos. When Rooster says “guys,” during the first training scene he knew what was coming for them and he starts putting his mask on. He knew the stories of how Maverick could fly the shit outta that plane. I loved that line at the end- “ it’s what my dad would have done.” Gets me everytime.
That was fun ladies. Let's watch again! You know you want to! 😊 I just finished. Good reactions girls. You almost had me in tears. I think, the best action movie so far. A little bit of romance, comedy, and action. It was definitely a roller coaster ride. Thanks! ❤
To make sure it's clear Iceman's Commander title was a position not the actual navy officer rank. He was in charge of the entire pacific fleet and held the rank of O10 a full 4 star Admiral in the USN. Other 4 star admiral billets include the Atlantic fleet commander the CNO (Chief of Naval Operations and DCNO (Deputy chief of Naval operations). Cyclone is playing the role of the CNAF (chief of naval air forces) which is actually stationed at North Island it is a Vice Admiral billet (3 star/O9). The CNAF is in charge of anything and everything USN that flies. The current real CNAF VADM. Whitesell earned his wings of gold way back in October of 1986.
They made the CNAF position dual-hatted with Commander Naval Air Force Pacific. Which made me thought, why not make Commander PF dual-hatted with Commander INDOPAC, since the latter has always been held by a Navy Admiral and will probably be for the distant future as well.
@@dallasyap3064 The CNAF and the Pacific commander are 2 different 3 star Vice admirals. The current CNAF is VADM Whitesell while the current Pacific fleet air commander is VADM Daniel Cheever. Both the Pacific and Atlantic fleets are commanded by 1 of the few 4 star admirals the USN has while other fleets are under the command of a 1 to 3 star admiral.
@@CDRhammond Though Commander Naval Air Forces and Commander Naval Air Force Pacific are different positions, they're held by the same officer. VADM Daniel Cheever is the incumbent COMNAVAIRPAC & COMNAVAIR, VADM Whitesell has retired. I just personally thought that it was a little different to put the arrangements like that. And that's also what made me thought to perhaps designate the Commander US Pacific Fleet as dual-hatted Commander Indopacific Command.
After their successful drop, one of my favorite moments of the entire movie was the tense, close to the mountain climb, followed by the brief moment of serenity after cresting the mountain, then immediate chaos of comms chatter as the pilots do their best to avoid SAM missiles.
Really good sequel and a great reaction by Lia and Viki. Val Kilmer "Iceman" has a very interesting documentary about his life and acting career. I highly recommend it. He is really fighting serious physical problems in real life. The girls commented how tall Miles Teller "Rooster" is, but he was standing next to Tom Cruise at the time. Tom is not a tall guy. He is about 5'7". Both girls are taller than him For more Miles Teller, I suggest watching Whiplash and War Dogs.
I have the same jacket as Maverick 😂 I wore it to the premier of this movie. Top Gun got me interested in motorcycles and flying, started flying at 16, nearly crashed into a mountain at 22. Life is good
The airplane at the end is Tom Cruise's personal aircraft. It is a restored and functional P-51 from the WW2 times. Cruise loaned it to the movie producers for this show. It may even be Cruise that was flying it, but if I was the insurance underwriter I would be having kittens over it.
RADM. Cain uses my call sign I held as a fighter pilot. Now if only I had shared that rank and left the navy with the 2 stars of a O8 instead of the silver oakleaves of a O5
I watched this on the plane on my phone and I still adored it. I was in tears, the whole ending ever since “I’m sorry goose.” I screamed on the plane… That’s how you make a sequel!
Dead Presidents - (Larenz Tate & Chris Tucker, Keith David) Higher Learning - (Omar Epps, Ice Cube and Michael Rapaport) A Bronx Tale - (Robert De Niro & Chazz Palminteri) Fresh - (Samuel L Jackson) Carlito's Way - (Al Pacino & Sean Penn) Good Fellas - (Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro & Joe Pesci) Casino - (Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci & Sharon Stone) These are a few of my personal favorites I tried to pick films that are (Hood Classics) but also have good writing and interesting storylines also great cinematography with noticeable actors hope to see you guys reactions
Great Reaction..... As others may have mentioned....... This is an Awesome Movie, one of the Few Sequels that are as good, it not better than the Original.... Tom Cruise fought to include Val Kilmer in the movie.... Val's Voice was AI, due to his Throat Cancer..... Penny is Penny Benjamin (the Admiral's Daughter) mentioned in "Top Gun".... Fun-Fact-1: There are 2 actors in this movie who have played the Astronaunt John Glenn in movies, Ed Harris (Admiral Kane) in "The Right Stuff" (1983), and Glenn Powell (Hangman) in "Hidden Figures" (2016)..... Fun-Fact-2: "BOB" is played by Bill Pullman's Son..... Fun-Fact-3: The P-51 Mustang at the Begining and End of the Movie is Tom's Personal Plane....
25:20 he never wanted Maverick to train the pilots. It was supposed to be a suicide mission but IceMan knew that Maverick could teach them to survive the mission so he used his weight to bring Maverick in. After Ice died Cyclone took control and was able to dump Maverick to run the mission his way. He ended up after Maverick showed it could be done Cyclone figured sending him on the mission would be a good way to get rid of him. The actors did go up in actual two seater jets to film them “flying”. 36:22 Rooster wasn’t out of ammo he was out of flares for a defensive measure.
Cyclone was never trying to get rid of Maverick or lose any of the team, he could easily have had Maverick court marshalled (as he said), but instead knew the mission had more chance of success and survivability with Maverick leading than without him. He was definitely more concerned with the success of the mission and knew there was a cost, but that’s why he holds a 3-star Admiral rank, the mission comes first and that’s his priority. The reason he looked to change the mission was because they were failing to do it the way they were being taught by Maverick, and he had to make sure that they could at least complete the mission. Returning safely would then be down to the skill of the pilots. At the end of the day, mission success was always more important than all 4 F-18s and their crews, failure allows the enemy to make nuclear grade weapons which could cost millions of lives. It wasn’t a “suicide mission”, it was a high risk mission, but the risk was 4 planes (and 6 crew members) vs millions of lives around the world.
Larry, u should have all the girls react to the documentary - MAIDEN. Its the story of the first, all women’s sailing crew who, in 1989 competed in the Whitbread Round the World Race. 33,000 miles/53,108 km’s and lasts 9 months. Might even get a tear or two from the iron-tough girls, Lia and Michelle - maybe. Gonna need a box of tissue for Vik and El.
He had it, he was given the all clear but the treatment took its toll. He had to have part of his trachea removed, and has a tube in his neck to help him either eat or breathe (I can’t remember which). That’s why he wears a scarf in the scene, it hides the hole in his neck where the tube is located.
There's a theory that everything after the Mach-10 ejection was a prolonged NDE. An actual American fighter pilot reviewed this movie (saying it looks good, but heres what would REALLY happen if that occured in reality), and said that ejecting at Mach-10 would shatter your spine, if not outright kill you. It goes through Mavericks life reconciling his missed opportunities/mishandled moments. His arriving at the bar wondering where he is, is him just starting the slow transition into the afterlife. His coming back to TG is his chance to come to peace with washing out (him having the right decisions and resolutions despite the militarys mindset) his meeting Penny is him dealing with his missed chance with Penny originally and realizing she is the love of his life(he cements this when he says he is never leaving her again). Phoenix's training accident is him putting what he learned from the accident that claimed Goose into action and learned that he wont be able to save the aircraft every time something goes wrong. Sometimes you can, but more often than not, you can't. The mission he will eventually lead is his final test of everything he has learned, and even facing death directly with the Su-57 getting a brief lock on him. His accepting it and knowing he did all he could allow the enemy to be "killed" and him to get his farewell party (the celebration on the carrier). And the ending is him waiting to see what's next, and Penny coming is to take him to the hereafter and then flying towards the sun is Mav finally moving on to the afterlife. But like i said, its just a theory 🤷♂️
14:40 He reached Mach 10.3. That's a speed related to the speed of sound. He is talking about g-force, and that's the force of gravity being multiplied by acceleration. They're two different measurements.
Glad u ladies liked it. Enjoyed both your reactions, especially Vicki whom I agree with that it's a rollercoaster of emotions; including Vicki's hilarious emotions to some of them (like when Rooster got shot down and when the F-14 was about to be blown away) "first it's fine, then nervous, then it's not fine, then it's fine again and somehow there's a screw up again lol! By the way mach is a speed unit (speed of sound), mach 1 = 1x the speed of sound, so mach 10 = 10x the speed of sound which is about 12,348km/h.
when we first about cruise doing this sequel, we where kidding about whether he is doing the fhlight scenes all be himself. And he did. And all the other actors, too. This move has everything a good movie needs.
The skunk next to the tail number on the experimental airplane is an actual insignia from Lockheed Martin. Given the pseudonym “Skunkworks”, it was a special secret project division.
One of the few action movies to give away where the "enemy" is. Only two countries ever had the F-14, and the US had retired theirs before this movie. Irsn still has between 6 and 12 of 79 they bought from Grumman back in the 1970s when they were ruled by the Shah and very friendly with the US. And Iran has experimented with nuclear material and equipment.
Not suicidal thoughts just acknowledging that he is very aware this is most likely to be a one way trip. The US military is filled with soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines that would sacrifice their lives for others.
G force is the force of acceleration equivalent to the force of gravity. 1 G is normal Earth gravity force. When you accelerate in a vehicle, your body is being pushed into your seat by -G force which is the force of acceleration. Mach is multiples of the speed of sound. Mach 10 is 10 times the speed of sound.
It's crazy, when you know that the actors filmed the scenes of Flight in a Plane in real life. And Tom Cruise is a pilot... we can see that they have suffered with the G's
Maverick actually did Rooster a favor. He had to attend a regular civilian college for 4 years instead of going through the academy for 4 years. It would have cost him an extra 13 weeks to get through OCS in order to become an officer, but he would have had a much easier time in any civilian college compared to that hell that is Annapolis.
Great movie minus three issues, penny chosen makes her less than 10 when mav. first was with her. 2nd noone with those glasses would be allowed to fly any aircraft in the millitary. 3rd I can forgive do to lack of 2 seaters, but as a navy pilot a p51 mustang would not be his choice to restore as it was a Army/Airforce only plane. A hellcat or corsair flown by the navy and marines would be a better choice. Navy did not buy 2 seat trainers though a few corsair trainers were made.
30:23 AWACS…..It’s like eyes in the skies….The radar with which it can operate can even outperform even the 5th Gen fighter jets… Have you ever wondered why Snipers with amazing scopes to carry out kills of more than a mile still have partners (Spotters) to carry out critical operations….He provides for the critical information of the targets…you can loosely relate it to this situation…
Just to put it in perspective, of how fast mach 10 is. You could travel around the world in 3.5 hours, but that's in mach 9. But in an emergency, ejecting from that speed would most likely be instantly fatal.
Mach numbers are relative to the speed of sound, and the speed of sound changes with atmospheric pressure, so mach 10 isn't a specific speed, but it is 10 times the speed of sound at whatever altitude he happens to be at. At sea level the speed of sound is 760 mph (1223 km/h), and given that the plane he was flying is loosely modelled on the SR71 Blackbird, I'm going to assume it was flying at 80,000 feet or so. At that altitude the speed of sound is about 660 mph (1062 km/h), so mach 10 at that altitude would be 6600 mph (10620 km/h)
Viki really is effected by these movies. Just remember it's only a movie. Goose died but Anthony Edwards went on to star in ER. Btw, Glen Powell, who played Hangman in this movie, will be in Twisters which is going to be released this summer. I read it will be a sequel to Twister and not a remake.
A movie that is as good if not better than the original. Next movie recommendations for Lia, Viki, Elle, and Michelle: Casablanca (1942) and Police Academy (1984)
You ladies need to watch the video of Tom Cruise taking James Cordon up in his World War 2 fighter plane and then his jet fighter trainer. It is on youtube.
I think that film grossed 1 BILLION DOLLARS. Our liberal media had us so depressed over here in the USA and this patriotic film came along just in time. : )
No lie this is was what a good example of a sequel decades later should be like and I loved it
I’m an airline pilot and I saw the old movie when I was 10 years old now 30 years later it was so great to see the new one pay great tribute to the beautiful f-14 Tomcat. It is the heart and soul of Top Gun and inspired me to do what I do today. No man made object can surpass it. My teenage girls aren’t interested in becoming aviators but they love these movies and I went to a museum to show them the Tomcat and they were amazed.
And didn't you like how Mav did some moves not in the book like the throttle splitting to make that Cat dance? Made me smile.
A true rare occurrence of a sequel coming decades later and actually living up to the hype. The scene with Iceman is so heart wrenching on it’s so tough to see what throat cancer has done to Val Kilmer
@@Lloyd-Franklinsome but not all of it. So glad it honored him
Tom was adamant that he would not do a sequel that didn't have Val as Iceman.
Its what happens when woke Bs is not forced into a movie. And a movie is allowed to just be a movie
Except the scene where he smashes his wings into icemans coffin. That was super cringe and idk why military movies do that, it's specifically a navy SEALs thing, it has nothing to do with the rest of the navy or military.
@@Mini_Hayley Mav and Iceman are honorary seals because they're so cool.
3:12 Mach 9 is over 11,000 Kmh or almost 7,000 Mph
Traveling at Mach 9 a trip from Sofia to Varna would take about 2 minutes
Plus 2 hours either side, to get through security and wait for the plane to be loaded and for your luggage to come out of the carousel at the other end.
plus the piss stops

The old "The Deep Space 1" (16,200 km/h) spacecraft and current "Parker Solar Probe" (692,000 km/h, or about 192 km per second, or for our US friends about 119 miles per second) enters the chat...
Yeah, I know that it is a wrong comparison (no atmospheric drag so to speak), but it is stil interesting to see what is going on with technology at the moment.
Just to clarify, Mach 10 and 10 G are two very different things. Mach 10 is ten times the speed of sound roughly 7600 miles per hour. 10G is 10 times the force of gravity, which happens under extreme, sudden changes in direction, such as what is basically beyond sustainable loads for most aircraft, even military fighters. If you weigh 200 pounds, at 10G it feels like 2000 lbs. They could be made to handle more, but the pilot cannot. Typical limits are 7 to 9G. The fact that 10 was used in both the speed and G loads in this story was coincidental. Rooster wasn't out of ammunition, he was out of flares for self-defense. He still had missiles for air-to-air.
It's not the Gs that kill you, it's the jerk and snap
Funny, I thought it was the missile exploding.
They have some safety margins also. I've heard the F-15 for example can take about 13G (9G x 1,5 margin) without theoretically shortening life span of the structure. But anything over that will gradually degrade it. I dont think there is a physical G-imiter on that plane either other than you'll get the usual warning within the safety margin at 9G.
@@martinsv9183 I remember reading about the F-18 when it was new. It was the Navy that imposed a 7.5G limit. The plane was rated for 9G, but the Navy had other ideas. The pilot could exceed 7.5G for emergencies only.
Corrosion and metal fatigue takes its toll on an airframe. Salt is very corrosive, and the Navy obviously operates in a salty environment. Catapult launches and arrested recoveries (controlled crashes), in addition to the operational stresses placed upon the aircraft, has historically required special maintenance, repair, and often replacement of stressed areas of structure, to extend the life of the platform.
Penny is the same Penny Benjamin that goose mentioned in the 1st movie when Maverick was being chewed out for high speed passes over 5 air controlled towers and 1 Admirals daughter. That's why when he sees her in her bar she says he pissed off another admiral.
Top Gun: Maverick is a masterpiece of a film. I watched it twice at the theaters with my Dad. What makes this film so great is that this movie was made after almost 36 years and this sequel definitely lived up to its expectation as it was so beautifully done with the music, the story, the dialogues, the plane flying sequences, the writing etc. Shoutout to Lady Gaga, Hanz Zimmer and One Republic for doing a fantastic job with the music. Tom Cruise never gets old as he gave another iconic performance as he always does in most of his films. The whole cast was great including Miles Teller, Monica Barbaro, Glen Powell, Danny Ramirez, Val Kilmer, Bashir Slahuddin, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, Charles Parnell, Lewis Pullman, Jay Ellis etc. Loved your reactions/analysis, take care, enjoy life, stay healthy and have a great one.
I saw this movie with my aunt and her boyfriend in theatres in 2022 and I cried twice when maverick gets thrown out of the bar and sees Rooster playing on piano, bringing back the memories of Goose playing the piano in the original 1986 Top Gun movie and Iceman’s funeral
Tom Cruise actually got himself in a bit of trouble with the funeral scene. The SEAL community was none too happy with how Maverick hammered his aviator wings into the coffin. That is a naval tradition reserved only for SEALS and no one else.
@@CDRhammondThat's why he's Maverick.
@@RickLacy-b3x A lot of the things the character did would have been criminal under the UCMJ. But Tom Cruise himself actually landed himself in hot water with the scene.
This film is proof that you can make a sequel just as good or better than the original!! Love this movie!!
If you don't allow feminists to ruin it.
This movie had absolutely no business being as good as it was.
I laughed.. i cried.. i peed a little.
"It's what my dad would've done."
That one line made this movie go from Spectacular to PICTURE PERFECT!!
Tears streaming down my face when he said that. So much emotion there. 34 years
With the flight experience that he has, Cruise would be able to fly a F-18 - but only perform basic maneuvers (no supersonic flight, no carrier landings). He did ask if he could take the controls in flight, but the Navy wouldn't let him.
Won't surprise me if he shows up at an airshow with a T-38 one of these days...
Hi Girls, I loved this movie. I thought it was better than the first one. Tom didn't fly the jets but he did fly the Mustang at the end (the propeller aircraft), he's a highly trained pilot but not on jets. I loved how real it was and how they allowed men to have emotions at last.
Heck, he owns that Mustang.
He sure does.@@Caseytify
I don't know. I'm sure that's entirely a different kettle of fish that any civilian could handle
@@Britcarjunkie I know the p51 is his but my point being tom would not be qualified to fly an f18 fighter jet different kettle of fish entirely you would need to be military or former
@@Britcarjunkie your full of it only flying you've done is being high on glue fumes
imaging watching it on the theaters... the adrenaline was through the roof
I watched it in theater's and gave away that I used to fly because every time they pulled G's I was going through the same exercises required to stay conscious. Old habits never really do die I guess.
I think this is one of the best movies ever made. It is formulaic, but it hits every mark it aims for. Everything gets paid off. ❤
Tom Cruise was flying his actual airplane at the end and during the final fight scene. That was also his personal jet. The only CGI used were the missiles and the CGI mesh used to make toms plane look like an F14. During the training missions and the actual mission. They were actually in F18s and Blue angles stunt pilots were flying while the actors sat in the back and it was filmed to look like they were flying but they were still in those jets none the less. Tom wanted to fly an actual F18 but the military wouldnt let him xD.
The stats of this film is crazy:
The #1 movie of 2022.
Best sequel of 2022.
#1 movie of the decade.
The 2nd film to gross over $1 billion in the movie theatre re-booming during Covid-19.
Tom Cruise's biggest movie ever.
A great story with so much nostagia of the original.
The director, Joseph Kosinski has worked with Cruise before on the movie, Obilvion (2013).
To be made and be made as real as possible makes this a great piece of work.
Seeing Val Kilmer as Iceman again was so heartwarming, especially with knowing what he's really gone through.
Top Gun has the longest running video game series, based on an film ever (1986-2010).
The 18th and final game on PS3 subtitled "Hard Lock" (2010) and the plot is set years after the first film.
Maverick as an instructor to a new generation of pilots and his best student, Lance Webb aka Spider
taking on an elite special mission (predating the movie's own sequel).
But in any event, the years of waiting for TG:M to was so worth the admission.
30:37 - Yes - they actually filmed them inside an airborn supersonic F-18, but with a real fighter-pilot flying. The actors were in the back seat.
The scenes of Bob losing consciousness were real as were the speed and g-force pulling their skin downwards. They were experiencing the real stomach twisting g-forces that fighter-pilots feel.
Good times good times nothing like flying in the F-18 E or F.
1:58 That skunk on the tail of the Darkstar aircraft is the trademark of the Skunk Works, Lockheed Martin’s research and development division.
Music, tension, heart...this is one polished movie!
Mach refers to speed of sound - so Maverick was flying Mach 10 or 10 times speed of sound
I got stuck behind a car the other day that was going half the speed of smell.😎
The take off and sound from the ship is amazing
@johne.8250 Do you mean 'jet'?
@@wolfwalkerz6978 oh yes! 😆
The two of you were on pins & needles. I love it when the two of you are into the movie that much! 😊🥰
Penny was mentioned in the first. The girst general was in Apollo 13 and the amazing jet flight and first astronaut movie, the right stuff! Bob, is a pilot, his real dad is Bill Pullman, the pilot and president in Independence Day!😮😮😮. Tom convinced hangman to get his pilots license, he did! And starred in a true story movie about 2 pilots in the Korean war! Tom has multiple licences, including his pilots licence ..the plane at the end, is his!😮😮😮
Iceman couldn't talk, he really has throat cancer. Tom had his movie voice done by AI. Rooster really learned to play the piano, for this movie. The actors flew for 90 days, and got jet fuel suckness, and had to control all their own onboard gear. Mics, cams, gear they were wearing, everything!
Mach is a measure of speed. It represents the speed or sound, so Mach 10 means he is flying 10 times the speed of sound.
G is the force equivalent to gravity, not the speed Maverick was flying in the opening sequence. It's like that ride in the fair where they put you in a loop and you get stuck to the wall, the faster it turns, the heavier you feel tied to the wall of the ride. 10 G is equivalent to 10 times the gravitational force of Earth, so if you weight 70 kg, you will feel like you weight 700 kg. If the weigh of your arm to maintain it around the control lever is 6 kg, it would feel like it weights 60 kg, so it is a battle just to keep your hands on the controls.
One big change was that they could mount GoPro cameras on the inside & outside of the Super Hornets for terrific shots.
All the actors were shot in the back seat of an F/A-18F to make it look like they were piloting. The Gs were real.
If you go back & watch the scene in the first movie, where they're being chewed out by the CAG, that officer mentioned an admiral's daughter, Patty Benjamin. Surprise!!
Fun Fact: it's TOPGUN, not TOP GUN. Just sayin'.
Maverick didn't become the "fastest man alive." The Shuttle went far faster than Mach 10 on re-entry.
The cameras weren't GoPros. They were 6K Sony Venice IMAX cameras.
Such an amazing reaction and such a great movie! Great job ladies!
The amusing thing for me that almost no one seems to get is that Hangman is Maverick as he would have been if he had been flying one of the typical single-seat fighters instead of the two-seat F-14s used in the original Top Gun. The main thing that kept Maverick from being what Hangman was is that Mav always had Goose, who was his conscience in some ways, riding brakes on Mav's worst impulses and making them not so bad. Mav was responsible to and for Goose, and since Goose was his only family Mav usually held himself in check so he wouldn't let Goose down. Hangman didn't have a back seater to be responsible to and for, so he could go all out to prove he was the best he could be and better than everyone else, which justly earned him his callsign: because he'd always hang you out to dry to prove you weren't as good as he was. Luckily, and thankfully, Hangman learned the important lesson about teamwork through Mav, who uniquely understood Hangman's driven personality. Hangman's character development was a very well done part of the movie too.
In an early script, Hangman was to be Ice's son. I'm glad they scrapped that.
In the F-18 scenes, professional military pilots were doing the actual flying, but the back seat cockpits were set up to look like the real thing. The tech advances for getting us inside the cockpit with the actor were amazing! And the actors had additional duties to their usual acting as they had to test and make sure the cameras were set and focused properly, that their makeup was good, and that the shots were as near perfect as possible. The director had the toughest time since all he could do was stand around and wait until the day's flying was done, then collect all the day's filming out of the onboard camera systems and take it to watch for the first time then and make notes for the next day's flying.
The actors actually had to go through an intensive training program to prepare them for flying in the fighters. I imagine there was some vomit hosed out of the cockpit after some of those maneuvers. Even though the actors, from what I remember, were never taken above 4G, that's nothing to sneeze at. Especially over time. I know the Fury 325 roller coaster at Carowinds near where I grew up in Charlotte, NC is said to max out at around 4Gs, that's just for a short period of time.
The WWII plane Cruise was working on at the beginning and flying at the end of the movie is his own personal plane that he is licensed to fly. He took members of the cast and crew up in it for fun in between work. That had to be a blast.
Val Kilmer, of course, had been fighting throat cancer in real life, but it was important to have him in this movie and he wanted to be there. His voice in the scenes was a programmed synthesized voice, but it was perfectly his voice as it might be. It was so good to see them as such close friends, and to know that Ice had constantly been Mav's guardian angel, keeping him in the service no matter what Mav did to get himself dismissed. And it showed a lot of how well Ice really understood Mav, and explains a lot of Mav's behaviors in the early movie.
Mav is basically suicidally depressed when the movie starts, but he's not the suicidal type, so he looks for situations where he can go out doing what he does best, but he fights to survive anyway because that is his nature. Ignoring how he feels (typical man, I know) he focuses on something else that he can control: flying. All Mav has is the service. He has no family. Even Goose's family he's not close to, though we only learn why as the movie advances. The Navy and the people he works with, best shown in Hondo, are the only family he has. So he pushes beyond Mach 10 because the project is going to be shut down and he'll lose the team/family he's been working with and, knowing as he does that Ice has been fighting cancer, he is aware that his long-term guardian angel might not be able to keep him where he needs to be. His time is running out, and he's well aware of that, so if he stays in pure Maverick mode and pushes juuust a bit more, and a bit more again, then maybe he can go out doing what he loves before that is taken away from him too. So he does. But he survives. And his guardian angel is still able to shift him back to someplace he needs to be. And, whether this was Ice's grand plan knowing who all from Pete's history was there or not, Mav ends up where he needs to be to reestablish a will to live beyond the military. Reestablishment of his old family with Rooster. Rediscovery and, much more importantly, a new appreciation of an old flame (mentioned but never seen in the original movie). And suddenly Mav has every reason to not die in the cockpit. So, of course, he must go and do something that could very easily make him die in the cockpit.
In a Hollyweird full of shallow and dull movies and shows with shallow, poorly done scripts and no actual thought behind them and shallow, unrealistic characters who only change in shallow ways if at all, a movie of this great depth made me so happy to see. I can watch it again and again and love it still. So very well done. For all the concerns I've had for Tom Cruise's weirdnesses in the past, he is absolutely a glorious hero for making this movie happen.
Great reaction! As a former military test pilot, thank you. This was better than the original!
Okay, just for the record, Tom Cruise specifically says this movie was meant to be watched on the BIG screen in a theater. The reward is so much much better. With that said, ENJOY! 🎉 ~ Tony
Small screens become bigger when you go closer to them.
Best screen to see this movie was in a 4DX theater..my wife talked me into and wow, what an experience..I still thank my wife for her suggestion.
The little things in this movie were fantastic when he had 33 rounds left in the machine gun during one of the last fight scenes it was 33 years since the original movie. Of course the whole Penny thing and just all the nods to the original movie. A true masterpiece of a rollercoaster ride. I still get choked up watching these videos. When Rooster says “guys,” during the first training scene he knew what was coming for them and he starts putting his mask on. He knew the stories of how Maverick could fly the shit outta that plane. I loved that line at the end- “ it’s what my dad would have done.” Gets me everytime.
That was fun ladies. Let's watch again! You know you want to! 😊 I just finished. Good reactions girls. You almost had me in tears. I think, the best action movie so far. A little bit of romance, comedy, and action. It was definitely a roller coaster ride. Thanks! ❤
One of the best movies ever!!!
Goodbye Tom "Iceman" Kazansky 😢 24:57
To make sure it's clear Iceman's Commander title was a position not the actual navy officer rank. He was in charge of the entire pacific fleet and held the rank of O10 a full 4 star Admiral in the USN. Other 4 star admiral billets include the Atlantic fleet commander the CNO (Chief of Naval Operations and DCNO (Deputy chief of Naval operations). Cyclone is playing the role of the CNAF (chief of naval air forces) which is actually stationed at North Island it is a Vice Admiral billet (3 star/O9). The CNAF is in charge of anything and everything USN that flies.
The current real CNAF VADM. Whitesell earned his wings of gold way back in October of 1986.
The year the original Top Gun was released? How about that.
@@CoffeeMatt10 yup 5 months after it premiered.
They made the CNAF position dual-hatted with Commander Naval Air Force Pacific. Which made me thought, why not make Commander PF dual-hatted with Commander INDOPAC, since the latter has always been held by a Navy Admiral and will probably be for the distant future as well.
@@dallasyap3064 The CNAF and the Pacific commander are 2 different 3 star Vice admirals. The current CNAF is VADM Whitesell while the current Pacific fleet air commander is VADM Daniel Cheever.
Both the Pacific and Atlantic fleets are commanded by 1 of the few 4 star admirals the USN has while other fleets are under the command of a 1 to 3 star admiral.
@@CDRhammond Though Commander Naval Air Forces and Commander Naval Air Force Pacific are different positions, they're held by the same officer. VADM Daniel Cheever is the incumbent COMNAVAIRPAC & COMNAVAIR, VADM Whitesell has retired. I just personally thought that it was a little different to put the arrangements like that. And that's also what made me thought to perhaps designate the Commander US Pacific Fleet as dual-hatted Commander Indopacific Command.
It takes 4 years and 5 million dollars to train one pilot.
After their successful drop, one of my favorite moments of the entire movie was the tense, close to the mountain climb, followed by the brief moment of serenity after cresting the mountain, then immediate chaos of comms chatter as the pilots do their best to avoid SAM missiles.
Really good sequel and a great reaction by Lia and Viki. Val Kilmer "Iceman" has a very interesting documentary about his life and acting career. I highly recommend it. He is really fighting serious physical problems in real life. The girls commented how tall Miles Teller "Rooster" is, but he was standing next to Tom Cruise at the time. Tom is not a tall guy. He is about 5'7". Both girls are taller than him For more Miles Teller, I suggest watching Whiplash and War Dogs.
I have the same jacket as Maverick 😂 I wore it to the premier of this movie. Top Gun got me interested in motorcycles and flying, started flying at 16, nearly crashed into a mountain at 22. Life is good
this sequel was a huge respect to the first top gun. tom really knows how to bring the big game :))! I cried too
The airplane at the end is Tom Cruise's personal aircraft. It is a restored and functional P-51 from the WW2 times. Cruise loaned it to the movie producers for this show. It may even be Cruise that was flying it, but if I was the insurance underwriter I would be having kittens over it.
RADM. Cain uses my call sign I held as a fighter pilot. Now if only I had shared that rank and left the navy with the 2 stars of a O8 instead of the silver oakleaves of a O5
I watched this on the plane on my phone and I still adored it. I was in tears, the whole ending ever since “I’m sorry goose.” I screamed on the plane… That’s how you make a sequel!
Dead Presidents - (Larenz Tate & Chris Tucker, Keith David)
Higher Learning - (Omar Epps, Ice Cube and Michael Rapaport)
A Bronx Tale - (Robert De Niro & Chazz Palminteri)
Fresh - (Samuel L Jackson)
Carlito's Way - (Al Pacino & Sean Penn)
Good Fellas - (Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro & Joe Pesci)
Casino - (Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci & Sharon Stone)
These are a few of my personal favorites I tried to pick films that are (Hood Classics) but also have good writing and interesting storylines also great cinematography with noticeable actors hope to see you guys reactions
Great Reaction..... As others may have mentioned.......
This is an Awesome Movie, one of the Few Sequels that are as good, it not better than the Original....
Tom Cruise fought to include Val Kilmer in the movie.... Val's Voice was AI, due to his Throat Cancer.....
Penny is Penny Benjamin (the Admiral's Daughter) mentioned in "Top Gun"....
Fun-Fact-1: There are 2 actors in this movie who have played the Astronaunt John Glenn in movies, Ed Harris (Admiral Kane) in "The Right Stuff" (1983), and Glenn Powell (Hangman) in "Hidden Figures" (2016).....
Fun-Fact-2: "BOB" is played by Bill Pullman's Son.....
Fun-Fact-3: The P-51 Mustang at the Begining and End of the Movie is Tom's Personal Plane....
My two favorite lines: Earth, and Nice.
25:20 he never wanted Maverick to train the pilots. It was supposed to be a suicide mission but IceMan knew that Maverick could teach them to survive the mission so he used his weight to bring Maverick in. After Ice died Cyclone took control and was able to dump Maverick to run the mission his way. He ended up after Maverick showed it could be done Cyclone figured sending him on the mission would be a good way to get rid of him. The actors did go up in actual two seater jets to film them “flying”. 36:22 Rooster wasn’t out of ammo he was out of flares for a defensive measure.
Cyclone was never trying to get rid of Maverick or lose any of the team, he could easily have had Maverick court marshalled (as he said), but instead knew the mission had more chance of success and survivability with Maverick leading than without him. He was definitely more concerned with the success of the mission and knew there was a cost, but that’s why he holds a 3-star Admiral rank, the mission comes first and that’s his priority. The reason he looked to change the mission was because they were failing to do it the way they were being taught by Maverick, and he had to make sure that they could at least complete the mission. Returning safely would then be down to the skill of the pilots. At the end of the day, mission success was always more important than all 4 F-18s and their crews, failure allows the enemy to make nuclear grade weapons which could cost millions of lives. It wasn’t a “suicide mission”, it was a high risk mission, but the risk was 4 planes (and 6 crew members) vs millions of lives around the world.
Larry, u should have all the girls react to the documentary - MAIDEN.
Its the story of the first, all women’s sailing crew who, in 1989 competed in the Whitbread Round the World Race.
33,000 miles/53,108 km’s and lasts 9 months.
Might even get a tear or two from the iron-tough girls, Lia and Michelle - maybe.
Gonna need a box of tissue for Vik and El.
A lot of this is filmed in my hometown of San Diego just like the first Top Gun movie
so sad to hear that Val Kilmer (Iceman) has throat cancer. Glad they found a way to put him in this movie
He had it, he was given the all clear but the treatment took its toll. He had to have part of his trachea removed, and has a tube in his neck to help him either eat or breathe (I can’t remember which). That’s why he wears a scarf in the scene, it hides the hole in his neck where the tube is located.
Bulgaria is 520 km long so would take 2.526 minutes to fly across it at Mach 10 (that is of course counting the speed of sound at sea level)
Good one, Ladies! This was really fun to rewatch with the two of you. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙂
There's a theory that everything after the Mach-10 ejection was a prolonged NDE. An actual American fighter pilot reviewed this movie (saying it looks good, but heres what would REALLY happen if that occured in reality), and said that ejecting at Mach-10 would shatter your spine, if not outright kill you. It goes through Mavericks life reconciling his missed opportunities/mishandled moments.
His arriving at the bar wondering where he is, is him just starting the slow transition into the afterlife.
His coming back to TG is his chance to come to peace with washing out (him having the right decisions and resolutions despite the militarys mindset) his meeting Penny is him dealing with his missed chance with Penny originally and realizing she is the love of his life(he cements this when he says he is never leaving her again).
Phoenix's training accident is him putting what he learned from the accident that claimed Goose into action and learned that he wont be able to save the aircraft every time something goes wrong. Sometimes you can, but more often than not, you can't.
The mission he will eventually lead is his final test of everything he has learned, and even facing death directly with the Su-57 getting a brief lock on him. His accepting it and knowing he did all he could allow the enemy to be "killed" and him to get his farewell party (the celebration on the carrier). And the ending is him waiting to see what's next, and Penny coming is to take him to the hereafter and then flying towards the sun is Mav finally moving on to the afterlife.
But like i said, its just a theory 🤷♂️
Great reactions girls I love how you really get into the stories and feel for the characters.
Absolutely love your emotional response. This movie did what it was supposed to do!
Now, watch Tom Cruise again in A Few Good Men & Mission Impossible series. It's totally worth it 👌.
14:40 He reached Mach 10.3. That's a speed related to the speed of sound. He is talking about g-force, and that's the force of gravity being multiplied by acceleration. They're two different measurements.
Maverick: "Thank you for saving my life"
Rooster: "It's what my dad would've done"
❤️🫡
“Talk to me Goose”, I’m sorry Goose”
Glad u ladies liked it. Enjoyed both your reactions, especially Vicki whom I agree with that it's a rollercoaster of emotions; including Vicki's hilarious emotions to some of them (like when Rooster got shot down and when the F-14 was about to be blown away) "first it's fine, then nervous, then it's not fine, then it's fine again and somehow there's a screw up again lol! By the way mach is a speed unit (speed of sound), mach 1 = 1x the speed of sound, so mach 10 = 10x the speed of sound which is about 12,348km/h.
The sincerity of your reactions is very appreciated...thank you.
Love the girl in the green top, her reactions were so emotional ❤
EXCELLENT reactions !!! a GREAT sequel !!! what a roller-coaster for sure
when we first about cruise doing this sequel, we where kidding about whether he is doing the fhlight scenes all be himself. And he did. And all the other actors, too. This move has everything a good movie needs.
The skunk next to the tail number on the experimental airplane is an actual insignia from Lockheed Martin. Given the pseudonym “Skunkworks”, it was a special secret project division.
Lia, don’t u do it.
Don’t u let a tear flow down ur cheek.
Don’t u do it.
Ur the tough one.
One of the few action movies to give away where the "enemy" is. Only two countries ever had the F-14, and the US had retired theirs before this movie. Irsn still has between 6 and 12 of 79 they bought from Grumman back in the 1970s when they were ruled by the Shah and very friendly with the US. And Iran has experimented with nuclear material and equipment.
Not suicidal thoughts just acknowledging that he is very aware this is most likely to be a one way trip. The US military is filled with soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines that would sacrifice their lives for others.
G force is the force of acceleration equivalent to the force of gravity. 1 G is normal Earth gravity force. When you accelerate in a vehicle, your body is being pushed into your seat by -G force which is the force of acceleration.
Mach is multiples of the speed of sound. Mach 10 is 10 times the speed of sound.
It's crazy, when you know that the actors filmed the scenes of Flight in a Plane in real life. And Tom Cruise is a pilot... we can see that they have suffered with the G's
I saw this film in IMAX. It was a great experience. Great reaction Homies! 👍🏿
One of the best sequel’s ever. And it only took 30 years to make.
Shiver moment: flying below those SAMs (Surface to Air Missiles)
Maverick actually did Rooster a favor. He had to attend a regular civilian college for 4 years instead of going through the academy for 4 years. It would have cost him an extra 13 weeks to get through OCS in order to become an officer, but he would have had a much easier time in any civilian college compared to that hell that is Annapolis.
I saw this in the theater. Epic. 🎉 BTW, Tom called me ahead of time to tell me we should see it. Y-e-a-h. That's the ticket. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Top Gun : Maverick should be renamed to ...
Top Gun : Middle Finger to Hollyweird !
Great movie minus three issues, penny chosen makes her less than 10 when mav. first was with her. 2nd noone with those glasses would be allowed to fly any aircraft in the millitary. 3rd I can forgive do to lack of 2 seaters, but as a navy pilot a p51 mustang would not be his choice to restore as it was a Army/Airforce only plane. A hellcat or corsair flown by the navy and marines would be a better choice. Navy did not buy 2 seat trainers though a few corsair trainers were made.
I was a USN aviator and I love the P-51. If I had the chance I'd defiantly jump on owning one.
30:23 AWACS…..It’s like eyes in the skies….The radar with which it can operate can even outperform even the 5th Gen fighter jets…
Have you ever wondered why Snipers with amazing scopes to carry out kills of more than a mile still have partners (Spotters) to carry out critical operations….He provides for the critical information of the targets…you can loosely relate it to this situation…
Just to put it in perspective, of how fast mach 10 is. You could travel around the world in 3.5 hours, but that's in mach 9. But in an emergency, ejecting from that speed would most likely be instantly fatal.
Mach 10 means you can go from Los Angeles to New York (thousands of miles) in about 14 minutes.
Mach numbers are relative to the speed of sound, and the speed of sound changes with atmospheric pressure, so mach 10 isn't a specific speed, but it is 10 times the speed of sound at whatever altitude he happens to be at. At sea level the speed of sound is 760 mph (1223 km/h), and given that the plane he was flying is loosely modelled on the SR71 Blackbird, I'm going to assume it was flying at 80,000 feet or so. At that altitude the speed of sound is about 660 mph (1062 km/h), so mach 10 at that altitude would be 6600 mph (10620 km/h)
Mach 10>12000 KPH. That's London to Madrid in 10 minutes. Paris to Moscow in 20.
Viki really is effected by these movies. Just remember it's only a movie. Goose died but Anthony Edwards went on to star in ER. Btw, Glen Powell, who played Hangman in this movie, will be in Twisters which is going to be released this summer. I read it will be a sequel to Twister and not a remake.
A movie that is as good if not better than the original. Next movie recommendations for Lia, Viki, Elle, and Michelle: Casablanca (1942) and Police Academy (1984)
“He’s so tall”
Nah, he was just standing next to Tom Cruise who is quite short
Ahhhh my favorite duo again....I will "Like" just for that.
Great reaction girls, what a movie
viki's pretty. cute how she gets emotional
The sequel is much better than the first one.
This reaction was just the best, i could only imagine what your blood pressure was during all the combat parts
You ladies need to watch the video of Tom Cruise taking James Cordon up in his World War 2 fighter plane and then his jet fighter trainer. It is on youtube.
I think that film grossed 1 BILLION DOLLARS. Our liberal media had us so depressed over here in the USA and this patriotic film came along just in time. : )
Mach 10: New York to London is less than 30 minutes.
Viki, it is just a movie 🍿 please don't cry
Hey giiirls! :D I'm glad you enjoyed it😊Haven't seen but it's awesome😀Bye😀
The fact Val kilmer is really sick is so sad!!
