I think the only time Maverick feels close to Goose is when he's pushing himself close to the edge of life and death. He says it again before the mission and talks to Goose again when the SU-57 has radar lock and they can't eject. It's a beautiful and emotional way to show the guilt and loneliness he carries.
probably one of my more favorite parts, afterburner sounds cool, the music is cool, but the sound of the scramjets.. nothing but raw power... reminds me of the space shuttles RS25s.. pure ear porn lol
In 1966, an SR-71 suffered a mid-air breakup when, like the Darkstar, flew to its full potential. The pilot survived, but his Recon Systems Officer was killed immediately during the breakup. I believe the incident inspired the Darkstar's flight and mid-air breakup in Top Gun: Maverick.
The Dark Star "Engine Unstart" is almost exactly as Bill Weaver described his high-altitude Mach 3+ breakup in the SR-71 (Serial # 61-7952) on the 25th Jan 1966. Bill survived that incident, crediting his Pressure shut for withstanding the incredible pressures of the breakup, forces that ripped him our of his ejection seat (which never left the aircraft) then protected him from death as he fell from above the death zone into breathable air. Bill survived but Jim Zwayer his RSO died. Bill passed away in 2021, having continued as a test pilot in some form or another, into his 85th year!
@@rharvey9808 was there final Mach reading for the aircraft? Or is that still classified? Have understood some jockeys said the plane could push out more than the 3.3+ it’s publicly known to do.
It's actually unlikely they know the real full potential of that plane. Iv also read they believe it can surpass mach 4. But unless the actually did it, it's just an estimate.
4:15-5:05 Hands Down THE BEST scene of any movie. The music by the legend Hans Zimmer, the scenary, and Tom passing Mach 9 pushing for 10 while calling out for his best friend. I always cry during this because of how beautiful this scene is.
ANY movie? Really? People on the internet really need to reign in the hyperbole. It was a good scene, you could even say it was a very good scene, but to say it was the best scene of ANY movie. Get real my man.
Man, just... " *Talk to me, Goose* ". Pete is STILL not completely healed after what has happened to his friend. You can just feel it, that every time he is about to cross threshold, he calls to him... And Darkstar is just awesome. I would not be suprised if it turned out that this machine exist in real world. This scene is amazing, beautiful music by Legendary Hans Zimmer just adding whole new level. Great movie!
Well considering the opening shots are of what would normally be an Ego wall is... just kind of a memorial to his friend who's been dead for at that point twenty five years? Yea.

You can't turn back time even if you went at the speed of light. It's not physically possible. According to the laws of physics you can only go into the future not the past unfortunately. So yeah theoretically if we could even get close to the speed of light let's say Mach 120 which by the way is 92,000 mph around where asteroids travel we could start feeling like we getting younger and the guys on earth start getting older. By the way Mach 120 isn't even close to speed of light, but it's possible to travel at those speeds given enough time and as close to light speed as we will ever get if we get there without burning to crisp would probably be Mach 140 or 107,000 mph. Again we really haven't come up with ways to physically travel light speeds so no it's not possible to go back in the past nor future for maybe never.
@@BrayanCarmona-kr7vt IIRC NASA has actually designed a space craft that could theoretically go faster than light or effectively do similar through a pseudo contraction and expansion of space, and have figured out the individual technologies that we need to work out how to create to be able to do so. Its all super future science stuff, but they've mapped out a tech tree to build through in order to achieve it which is pretty cool. Ship looked like a central cylinder/hull with a huge ring-like wing system fore and aft. At least, I think so.. I saw it once on the interwebs a few years back so my memory is a little hazy.
Seeing this in IMAX....fucking incredible...the best and most realistic action movie ever made...if u didnt get a chance to see it in IMAX u didnt get the full expierence
During this scene in theaters, I immediately said in my mind that this is going to be a movie I’m going to absolutely love for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.
@6:20. there's no way they were allowed to use the skunkworks logo like this even though it's hidden and secretive without it being known to skunkworks. Makes you wonder...
Watching this scene hits different now. I just met a true legend-a veteran who flew in the SR-71 Blackbird, the real-life inspiration for aircraft like the Darkstar. He told me he always flew in the backseat, managing the most advanced reconnaissance systems of his time while traveling at Mach 3+ and 85,000 feet. Fewer than 90 people in history ever had that role, making him a one-of-a-kind hero. Meeting him was like shaking hands with history itself.
how can you not get chills seeing such speed and tech. i hope one day humanity will reach the stars and wonder if anyone from our time ever thought we'd make it.
This right here was the BEST SEQUENCE in the movie…. As a 22 yr civilian contractor on some really cool overseas projects, we’ve had more than one person go out on a limb to save the contract……. So when he said “I know what will happen if I don’t”….. that hit some type of way for me. All the best to my MIL, GS, and CIV brothers and sisters…. Wherever you are 🫡 🇺🇸 🇧🇭
What if they made this the ending of the movie? How sick would that be!? Maverick going Mach 10 in to the heavens, a testament to the irreplaceable human fighter pilots. Calling out to his beloved friend Goose, ensuring him his son is doing just fine.
Mav saying "All right sweetheart, one last ride" while the opening notes to Top Gun's main theme plays in combo with the theme when the Darkstar's zoomin in the air made me start to tear up lmao
The score by Hans Zimmer and the space shots is incredible. Really uplifting, a man literally on the edge of wanting to push the limits and as close as he can be to his best friend
It'll take nerves of steel to even fly that thing. The X-15, the current fastest manned aircraft although reaching Mach 6.7 was already stressful enough to fly because the faster you are, the harder it is to control your flight path. One wrong move and you'll be up in flames. However, flight isn't the most dangerous part of the mission, getting back on the ground is.
As a pilot I love Maverick’s communication with ATC (or ‘tower’ or whatever they’d be called here). He tells them he has the current weather (“with information Alpha”) and flight control clears him to taxi to the runway that most favors the weather, then reads to Maverick the wind direction and windspeed (210 is the direction of the wind, 10 is the sustained windspeed in knots). I saw the movie seven times in theatres and seen clips on TH-cam dozens of times, that first time watching it on opening day in late May 2022 was the greatest cinematic experience of my life! Little details like these made it special.
With the Hans Zimmers music and the way Darkstar storms into the dusk sky, easily one of the finest goosebumps scenes ever to come on an action movie hands down... ❤❤❤
This scene reminds of when the NX-01 achieved warp 5. The build up to that moment was amazing, the crew was pushing humanities best technologies to its breaking point and beyond.
The respect that comes from the words "You got balls, stick jockey" hit me harder than everything else in this scene. Such a powerful moment where the brass stops caring about rank and protocol and just stands in awe of an amazing pilot.
It sure as hell did for me, but my inspiration was born with the US Navy Blue Angels when I was just 3-4 years old. I am now 15 and it is my dream to become a Naval Aviator, perhaps even one of the Blue Angels themselves. Thank you Maverick and Blue Angels for being the main inspiration for my dream.
I've been playing this on a loop sometimes that the intensity and *emotion* of this Darkstar segment brings me to tears--because it's so profound and hits you right in da feels. I sometimes wonder if this kind of scenery is what my late wife is looking down at--since she passed away on January 13th, 2023. I now know that this movie gives us hope for a better future--where the technology we create today, tomorrow and in the decades to come--will usher humanity beyond the skies below and the stars above...
That Mach 10 scene is epic! 🚀 The adrenaline is off the charts, and Tom Cruise really knows how to deliver those thrilling moments. I love the mix of intense action and humor-it keeps you hooked from start to finish! Can't wait to see more!!!
In my opinion, this is the most breathtaking part of the movie! Beautiful shots. Beautiful music. I got chills the first time I watched it. Reminds me of Interstellar. Amazing movie. There is no green screen and the use of CGI is minimal. Many of the stunts may look like CGI, but they are real. That's why this movie is so amazing.
Actually there was green screen when they we're showing Tom Cruise flying in the sky with the Darkstar (Cockpit Shot). The real shots of the darkstar was when Tom Cruise entered the plane and when they were pulling it out of the hangar the rest was CGI for the Darkstar takeoff and flight (F/A-18 Disguised as a Darkstar via CGI during Takeoff) But the Darkstar flight shots were all CGI. Saying "there is no green screen" is misinformation there no offense.
This movie had nearly 2,500 VFX shots. This entire sequence with the dark star is almost fully CG. They created a practical mock-up of for the on-ground scenes, however, all the flying is 100% CG. Most of the flying scenes in this movie were in fact heavily heavily altered by CG. The enemy planes are all CG, the F 14 escape plane is all CG, the actual planes used for shooting were mostly L 39's, and then later digitally replaced. The only flying scene that's assured to be not CG is the P51 Mustang scene with the Lady Gaga song at the end of the film. Hollywood marketing campaigns will have you beleive otherwise, but this movie is hardly a "Minimal CG" movie. I encourage you to watch this video on the subject: th-cam.com/video/7ttG90raCNo/w-d-xo.html
@@kylemcneill5751 F-14 ground shots were practical, but the background (the destroyed base, fire etc) is done with green screen. The shot of Maverick and Rooster climbing into the F-14 are real shots.
@@dallasyap3064 once again, Hollywood marketing teams made it seem that way. When in fact every single shot in that sequence you’re referring to, the f-14 is 100% CG. There was no practical f-14, not even a life size mock up. I highly encourage you watch this video series that goes into extensive detail about how unbelievably false the claims from the marketing department were about the amount of CG in the film. th-cam.com/video/7ttG90raCNo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WVC043gdB8mBX0_l
I was 42 when the movie came out. I cried a couple times in the movie. It was so emotional for me personally. I watched the first top gun 100 times, and this movie was great, amazing but it was empty in the sense of not having most of the original cast… it got me to me younger years… and people and moments that I will never have again! The movie was amazing! Really amazing !
“You know what happens to you if you go through with this” “I know what happens to everyone else if I don’t” That single sentence defined Maverick’s character
That is the most beautiful jet ever! I had a very strange dream of flying it and it felt amazing! And really fast too! I bet it feels even more amazing in real life!
She really is a true angel of the skies. Darkstar is an ironic name in my opinion, considering when you look up she shines brighter than any star in the dark :)
everyone has their favourite moment from this scene, but mines definitely gotta be 5:53 that shot of Maverick above the earth with a birds eye view shot gives me goosebumps everytime.
The is the best part of the entire movie; in fact, this could have been the ENTIRE MOVIE, and would still have perfectly summed up and completed the entire Top Gun arc 😎
Every single person that has aviation in his soul, would gladly die and step into this moment and become part of aviation History. Aviation is actually defined by moments like this.
Ed Harris was meant for this scene…and although it was a limited amount of screen time, he made a huge impact. Definitely commanded the room. I was so reluctant for them to have a sequel to such an iconic movie, but they did an amazing job and understood the assignment. Adding Hans Zimmer as the composer took this sequel to another level! *slow clap of admiration
Ed Harris definitely commands the room. Look at his role in 1996 action film The Rock (starring Sean Connery too), throughout the movie, u can feel him as a real commanding no-nonsense, caring but tough General.
Just to imagine that while the SR 71 was being tested this excitement was a day to day occurance and how many times Kelley Johnson and his crew would have gone thru happiness, sorrow, excitement all sorts of emotions ... Just mind blowing 😮
I like how this movie basically gave the big middle finger to China. They wanted the directors to edit some things out for it to be released in China. And they basically said no... So now it's not allowed in China
Almost. They actually did katow to China in post production. One of the 1st trailers had the Taiwanese flag on Mavs jacket removed. After covid hit, and China started to backpedal on letting hwood movies in, they pulled financing from Maverick. At that point, the filmmakers put the flag back in. But they absolutely let China dictate some things early on. A great book just came out on how much power China wields in hwood. Its called Red Carpet. Written by a WSJ reporter.
@@kingofswing3000 I will have to check that out. Either way it's not allowed in China. I think this movie is setting precedents that they do not need to bend over for China anymore. Hollywood is learning that they can still do incredibly well, it made billions of dollars without the Chinese market. This movie shows that. It did incredibly well. And to this day it is absolutely smashing records still. I mean it did well enough that it caused the Chinese version of Top Gun to not be released they were afraid of it being ridiculed from what I heard. And with the way current relations are going with China, what you're saying is not really going to matter anymore, because things have deteriorated so much anyway. So the days of relying on China are coming to an end. Currently the US and Canada are working together to ban some exports to China. And it looks like some of them have just been approved. China collects a huge number of natural resources and semiconductors that it needs from North America.
@@danielguo2234 I don't want to say nothing too bad about Born To Fly. Because it could very well be a good movie! It looks like they put off the release date until April of this year. Maybe they are working on redoing some things for the film. Who knows. But some of the Chinese actors that are in it, I do like a lot, some of them are very talented

So yeah theoretically if we could even get close to the speed of light let's say Mach 120 which by the way is 92,000 mph around where asteroids travel we could start feeling like we getting younger and the guys on earth start getting older. By the way Mach 120 isn't even close to speed of light, but it's possible to travel at those speeds given enough time and as close to light speed as we will ever get if we get there without burning to crisp would probably be Mach 140 or 107,000 mph. Again we really haven't come up with ways to physically travel light speeds so no it's not possible to go back in the past nor future for maybe never.

@@BrayanCarmona-kr7vt IIRC NASA has actually designed a space craft that could theoretically go faster than light or effectively do similar through a pseudo contraction and expansion of space, and have figured out the individual technologies that we need to work out how to create to be able to do so. Its all super future science stuff, but they've mapped out a tech tree to build through in order to achieve it which is pretty cool. Ship looked like a central cylinder/hull with a huge ring-like wing system fore and aft. At least, I think so.. I saw it once on the interwebs a few years back so my memory is a little hazy.
This is what a real movie looks like
Heyy Subscribe to grow the channel plssss❤
tf you mean a real movie? It is a real movie dumbass
Every movie that's even been made or ever will be made is a real movie.
So true
@@cleverusername9369oop found the smartass
I love how the radio communication was “broken” but the live video feed from like 20 cameras on the airplane don’t have a hiccup lol
The radio wasn't broken.You wanted mach 10 speed, maverick will deliver it.
Cain knew it was BS but he also knew he couldn't do anything at that point anyway.
You got it bro 👏
Seeing this in IMAX....fucking incredible...the best and most realistic action movie ever made...if u didnt get a chance to see it in IMAX u didnt get the full expierence
Is that a cinema or stereo
Yes it fucking was....i wish i could go see it again.....i still have my ticket

Realistic is a stretch the way they dodged all those SAMs was completely BS
@@Izzy_B241 You've clearly never heard of STROKE-3
During this scene in theaters, I immediately said in my mind that this is going to be a movie I’m going to absolutely love for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.
2:03 love the subtle acting of these people. Smiling with admiration bc Maverick sacrifices himself basically
Maverick died that night, everything afterwards is just his own personal heaven playing out.
O eso lo que tu crees, pero la trama dice otra cosa
Haha now can be shown in china
Yeah it should be. His last act is to save the project for the people behind it.
😂😂😂 RIP Maverick and Tom Cruise
Wazi inception
3:13 this scene gives me chills everytime I watch it
Yeah,same here.. the transition to scram jet scene..make me chill..the engine transition sound.. luv it man.
spot on
I think I watched that scene 25 times over
@6:20. there's no way they were allowed to use the skunkworks logo like this even though it's hidden and secretive without it being known to skunkworks. Makes you wonder...
@user-rf7lf5yn8p they actually designed this plane for the movie 😂
Watching this scene hits different now. I just met a true legend-a veteran who flew in the SR-71 Blackbird, the real-life inspiration for aircraft like the Darkstar. He told me he always flew in the backseat, managing the most advanced reconnaissance systems of his time while traveling at Mach 3+ and 85,000 feet. Fewer than 90 people in history ever had that role, making him a one-of-a-kind hero. Meeting him was like shaking hands with history itself.
how can you not get chills seeing such speed and tech. i hope one day humanity will reach the stars and wonder if anyone from our time ever thought we'd make it.
If we don’t kill each other first
They already had the tech for over 50 years
@@ebktoonz8436 Tech for interstellar travel?
What tech? Where?
I think this scene purposefully feels a little like taking a scene out of sci-fi movie and sticking it into an action movie.
@@ebktoonz8436 The tech for interstellar travel? Where? When? What tech?
3 times in theater and 3 times in front of TV. Best movie in my life ❤❤❤
This whole scene is just chills. The part at 4:10 really had me like “wow this is really Top Gun”
Truly one of the best movies I’ve ever watched
This right here was the BEST SEQUENCE in the movie…. As a 22 yr civilian contractor on some really cool overseas projects, we’ve had more than one person go out on a limb to save the contract……. So when he said “I know what will happen if I don’t”….. that hit some type of way for me. All the best to my MIL, GS, and CIV brothers and sisters…. Wherever you are 🫡 🇺🇸 🇧🇭
"He's the fastest man alive."
Gives me chills every time.
What if they made this the ending of the movie? How sick would that be!? Maverick going Mach 10 in to the heavens, a testament to the irreplaceable human fighter pilots. Calling out to his beloved friend Goose, ensuring him his son is doing just fine.
thought the exact same thing... and a post credit scene with maverick walking into the restaurant letting as know he is alright
@@Whiting1996 ah damn you, now i cant get this out of my head
I just watched this scene with only seeing part of the movie....I assumed this was how it ended 😅
Or have him walking away from the wreck like the ending of The Right Stuff
Hmmmm
Mav saying "All right sweetheart, one last ride" while the opening notes to Top Gun's main theme plays in combo with the theme when the Darkstar's zoomin in the air made me start to tear up lmao
The bit where the Sun appears and that music point always gets me.
One of the greatest scenes in movie history.
The score by Hans Zimmer and the space shots is incredible. Really uplifting, a man literally on the edge of wanting to push the limits and as close as he can be to his best friend
God I wonder what it feels like to fly like that… It looks so peaceful
its not
It'll take nerves of steel to even fly that thing. The X-15, the current fastest manned aircraft although reaching Mach 6.7 was already stressful enough to fly because the faster you are, the harder it is to control your flight path. One wrong move and you'll be up in flames. However, flight isn't the most dangerous part of the mission, getting back on the ground is.
@@ethanloming001slowing down isn't hard
@@ethanloming001that’s actually incorrect.
That’s cuz the noise can’t catch up. Literally can’t catch up. Like the Apollo 8 astronauts found out.
I come back and watch this frequently. This scene is a masterful work of art.
Surprised no one is talking about how nice the darkstar sounds when the engine starts
Yeah the bass in the theatre I went too was amazing when he powered it up.
Oh yes we are all silently stricken
As a pilot I love Maverick’s communication with ATC (or ‘tower’ or whatever they’d be called here). He tells them he has the current weather (“with information Alpha”) and flight control clears him to taxi to the runway that most favors the weather, then reads to Maverick the wind direction and windspeed (210 is the direction of the wind, 10 is the sustained windspeed in knots). I saw the movie seven times in theatres and seen clips on TH-cam dozens of times, that first time watching it on opening day in late May 2022 was the greatest cinematic experience of my life! Little details like these made it special.
You bet and it's fun for some of us who are aviation mavericks.thank you Mr Oetti
It feels like i can write a book on why this scene is beyond perfect
With the Hans Zimmers music and the way Darkstar storms into the dusk sky, easily one of the finest goosebumps scenes ever to come on an action movie hands down... ❤❤❤
This scene is one of the most badass ever, love the background as the plane fly by . ❤
This scene reminds of when the NX-01 achieved warp 5. The build up to that moment was amazing, the crew was pushing humanities best technologies to its breaking point and beyond.
It seems Humanity's best moments are when we get together to go faster than ever before. Just look at the last time the Land Speed Record was broken.
Damn that's a perfect comparison (or Cochran first achieving warp). As soon as I read your comment it clicked.
The respect that comes from the words "You got balls, stick jockey" hit me harder than everything else in this scene. Such a powerful moment where the brass stops caring about rank and protocol and just stands in awe of an amazing pilot.
I always, with out fail, get chills when both the music and speed a building, and the kid says "approaching high hypersonic" with a kind of reverence.
3:55 absolutely love this shot. It just looks so good
Man.....
That scramjet transition was dope as F....
1:15 Lockheed Skunkworks logo. The designers of SR-71, U2 Spy plane and F177. Some of the most iconic planes of the future we’re living in.
I'm sure this movie has inspired a lot of kids to become a Naval Aviator someday.
It sure as hell did for me, but my inspiration was born with the US Navy Blue Angels when I was just 3-4 years old. I am now 15 and it is my dream to become a Naval Aviator, perhaps even one of the Blue Angels themselves. Thank you Maverick and Blue Angels for being the main inspiration for my dream.
I can watch this part of the movie over and over again...
Just beautiful...
I've been playing this on a loop sometimes that the intensity and *emotion* of this Darkstar segment brings me to tears--because it's so profound and hits you right in da feels.
I sometimes wonder if this kind of scenery is what my late wife is looking down at--since she passed away on January 13th, 2023.
I now know that this movie gives us hope for a better future--where the technology we create today, tomorrow and in the decades to come--will usher humanity beyond the skies below and the stars above...
That Mach 10 scene is epic! 🚀 The adrenaline is off the charts, and Tom Cruise really knows how to deliver those thrilling moments. I love the mix of intense action and humor-it keeps you hooked from start to finish! Can't wait to see more!!!
In my opinion, this is the most breathtaking part of the movie! Beautiful shots. Beautiful music. I got chills the first time I watched it. Reminds me of Interstellar. Amazing movie. There is no green screen and the use of CGI is minimal. Many of the stunts may look like CGI, but they are real. That's why this movie is so amazing.
Actually there was green screen when they we're showing Tom Cruise flying in the sky with the Darkstar (Cockpit Shot). The real shots of the darkstar was when Tom Cruise entered the plane and when they were pulling it out of the hangar the rest was CGI for the Darkstar takeoff and flight (F/A-18 Disguised as a Darkstar via CGI during Takeoff) But the Darkstar flight shots were all CGI. Saying "there is no green screen" is misinformation there no offense.
@@darkstar_sierra1588 None taken, but thanks for providing accurate information. :)
This movie had nearly 2,500 VFX shots. This entire sequence with the dark star is almost fully CG. They created a practical mock-up of for the on-ground scenes, however, all the flying is 100% CG.
Most of the flying scenes in this movie were in fact heavily heavily altered by CG. The enemy planes are all CG, the F 14 escape plane is all CG, the actual planes used for shooting were mostly L 39's, and then later digitally replaced.
The only flying scene that's assured to be not CG is the P51 Mustang scene with the Lady Gaga song at the end of the film.
Hollywood marketing campaigns will have you beleive otherwise, but this movie is hardly a "Minimal CG" movie.
I encourage you to watch this video on the subject: th-cam.com/video/7ttG90raCNo/w-d-xo.html
@@kylemcneill5751 F-14 ground shots were practical, but the background (the destroyed base, fire etc) is done with green screen. The shot of Maverick and Rooster climbing into the F-14 are real shots.
@@dallasyap3064 once again, Hollywood marketing teams made it seem that way. When in fact every single shot in that sequence you’re referring to, the f-14 is 100% CG. There was no practical f-14, not even a life size mock up. I highly encourage you watch this video series that goes into extensive detail about how unbelievably false the claims from the marketing department were about the amount of CG in the film. th-cam.com/video/7ttG90raCNo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WVC043gdB8mBX0_l
I was 42 when the movie came out. I cried a couple times in the movie. It was so emotional for me personally.
I watched the first top gun 100 times, and this movie was great, amazing but it was empty in the sense of not having most of the original cast… it got me to me younger years… and people and moments that I will never have again!
The movie was amazing! Really amazing !
Mr Ricardo it's not only you who cried am also crying now as watching this scene from you tube.Thank you sir

This is the best movie of all time and it’s not particularly close.
Lorne Balf’s and Han Zimmer’s styles marries so perfectly in this score
The whole movie is just brilliant. There are too many highlights to mention. Loved every second of it. Multiple times 👍👍👍
Possibly the best part of any recent film ever! An awesome film and just amazing!

“You know what happens to you if you go through with this”
“I know what happens to everyone else if I don’t”

That is the most beautiful jet ever! I had a very strange dream of flying it and it felt amazing! And really fast too! I bet it feels even more amazing in real life!
She really is a true angel of the skies. Darkstar is an ironic name in my opinion, considering when you look up she shines brighter than any star in the dark :)
I agree :)
I thought it didnt even exist IRL?
It’s not a real jet but it’s really pretty and looks fast!
@xmxofficial its based on a real project
everyone has their favourite moment from this scene, but mines definitely gotta be 5:53
that shot of Maverick above the earth with a birds eye view shot gives me goosebumps everytime.
I would do anything to experience this again the first time in cinema
I work at the cinema and i regret not watching it there 😭
Especially in IMAX imo.
The is the best part of the entire movie; in fact, this could have been the ENTIRE MOVIE, and would still have perfectly summed up and completed the entire Top Gun arc 😎
My only "complaint" about this movie is that this scene happens early on and it's the best scene in the movie. Nothing tops this
Every single person that has aviation in his soul, would gladly die and step into this moment and become part of aviation History. Aviation is actually defined by moments like this.
3:15 That sound tho
I had tears at this..."talk to me Goose,"....watching the curvature of the earth as he does it. Have tears now ...
I got actual chills in the theater when I saw the Skunk logo (1:14 for a timestamp) in the theater. What a moment. What a movie!
Now I don't remember how many times I have seen this clip. Full of energy and full of goosebumps.
Ed Harris was meant for this scene…and although it was a limited amount of screen time, he made a huge impact. Definitely commanded the room. I was so reluctant for them to have a sequel to such an iconic movie, but they did an amazing job and understood the assignment. Adding Hans Zimmer as the composer took this sequel to another level! *slow clap of admiration
Didn’t EH play John Glen in The Right Stuff?🤔
Ed Harris definitely commands the room. Look at his role in 1996 action film The Rock (starring Sean Connery too), throughout the movie, u can feel him as a real commanding no-nonsense, caring but tough General.
Just to imagine that while the SR 71 was being tested this excitement was a day to day occurance and how many times Kelley Johnson and his crew would have gone thru happiness, sorrow, excitement all sorts of emotions ... Just mind blowing 😮
I like how this movie basically gave the big middle finger to China. They wanted the directors to edit some things out for it to be released in China. And they basically said no... So now it's not allowed in China
Almost. They actually did katow to China in post production. One of the 1st trailers had the Taiwanese flag on Mavs jacket removed. After covid hit, and China started to backpedal on letting hwood movies in, they pulled financing from Maverick. At that point, the filmmakers put the flag back in. But they absolutely let China dictate some things early on. A great book just came out on how much power China wields in hwood. Its called Red Carpet. Written by a WSJ reporter.
@@kingofswing3000 gonna look into that book, thx 👍
@@kingofswing3000 I will have to check that out. Either way it's not allowed in China. I think this movie is setting precedents that they do not need to bend over for China anymore. Hollywood is learning that they can still do incredibly well, it made billions of dollars without the Chinese market. This movie shows that. It did incredibly well. And to this day it is absolutely smashing records still. I mean it did well enough that it caused the Chinese version of Top Gun to not be released they were afraid of it being ridiculed from what I heard. And with the way current relations are going with China, what you're saying is not really going to matter anymore, because things have deteriorated so much anyway. So the days of relying on China are coming to an end. Currently the US and Canada are working together to ban some exports to China. And it looks like some of them have just been approved. China collects a huge number of natural resources and semiconductors that it needs from North America.
@@youandiryan Chinese knockoff is Born 2 fly. Comparing it to Top Gun is like comparing an ant to an elephant.
@@danielguo2234 I don't want to say nothing too bad about Born To Fly. Because it could very well be a good movie! It looks like they put off the release date until April of this year. Maybe they are working on redoing some things for the film. Who knows. But some of the Chinese actors that are in it, I do like a lot, some of them are very talented
Excelente video hermano. El hombre mas rápido vivo. Nostálgico cuando dice Hablame Goose. Camaradería cuando salva el proyecto con match 10. Agallas con match 10.4. Excelente. Bendiciones.
La meilleure scène du cinéma depuis très lgtp tout y est l émotion l intensité les images la musique ..le parle moi goose tellement bien placé ma donné tellement d émotion bravo quelle film
I could listen to this song over and over, such a moving song!
This scene can make a grown-man cry, alone.
Without sound effects a movie will never sell.Thsts why i thank God i have ears
This is the best movie ever made in the world!
The time I saw Ed Harris I felt like I have seen an old friend. I met him with "The Rock" and he is still the best second actor since then.
As a fighter pilot myself always going to these types of movies and like military or war movies in general with a precaution because a lot of the times some of the stuff you might see is fake or even half of it but I can tell you from personal experience that throughout the entire day of the scene and even the movie I sat in my seat in the theatre with a childlike grin on my face because it was accurate and captured the feeling of not only how I feels to be in the air but also the freedom you have when you up there as close as you can get to God
Nah bro you can literally see god when you dive in a sub and the play station controller stops working
Seen this part dozens of times and I still get tense on the way to mach 10 and gasp when it's reached. Brilliant filmmaking.
