"SAM on our 6 ! " .........Surface to Air Missile .........on our 6 means it's directly behind you. 12 is dead ahead 9 is to the left ....ECT. place a clock on the ground, stand in the center facing 12 The hour tells you where the danger is coming from. You said you didn't know the lingo, and I apologize if this came across as Mansplaining.
@@mattpetty1 Your comment made me laugh because of a scene in the movie Hotshots, When Admiral Benson overhears the direction of enemy aircraft (being conveyed to the planes in the air), He then looks at his watch and says words to the effect of, "we've got plenty of time, I'll go grab lunch" 😂
*TRUE STORY:* My dinosaur obsessed daughter and niece (12 & 13) agreed to see this with me only if we went to the new Jurassic movie first. Both said this "blew the dinosaur movies out of the water." They went back 3 more times. Saying I was shocked is an understatement.
My son who is 12 curled up on the couch and watched this one first. He was stoked. Then we watched Top Gun 2 nights ago and he fell asleep half way through.
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. Fun fact: The older gentleman in the bar was the real life Viper they portrayed in the first Top Gun
As both a film buff and an American, watching this movie in theaters was probably one of the best experiences of my life, especially knowing most of the flight scenes were filmed for real.
What i love about Hangman is that his Role in this Movie is literally the same that Maverick had in Top Gun: The Douchey Ace Pilot who swoops in at the End and Saves the other Pilots under Enemy Fire.
The really impressive thing about Maverick proving the mission could be flown is that in the training flight he pulled it off under harder conditions than the actual mission. He gave himself 15 seconds less than on the mission and was pulling double duty, serving as his own spotter
“It’s been an honour captain”, I think they’re trying to show the seniority and experience of Maverick and Hondo by them acknowledging the chance that this mission may fail. That’s how I took that scene.
Also, the fact Maverick is still just a captain has been used as an insult throughout his long career. Hondo let him know that Maverick was a hero to him and others regardless of what their superiors thought.
Maverick was saying goodbye. He did it with Penny he kinda did it with rooster and hondo. He never expected to come back from the mission knowing he'd sacrifice himself
@@clevelandcbi Also, it's worth remembering that Captain is a pretty high rank - it's as high as you can get before you become what is referred to as 'flag' rank. Navy Captains are the equivalent of Army Colonels (an Army Captain is equal to a Navy (full) Lieutenant).
Do you remember in Top Gun beginning Maverick and Goose are getting chewed out by the squadron commander just before he tells them they are going to Top Gun. He talks about fly bys and one Admirals daughter? Then Goose says Penny Benjamin. Then later in the Diner Carol (Meg Ryan) says Goose told me all about Penny Benjamin!
The one fact they flew a mission that is 100% the Trench Run on the Death Star was why people love this movie, it pays homage to so much pop culture while showing you the insanity of being a Combat Aviator. The greatest sequel ever after Empire Strikes Back.
When the original came out in '86, I was a teenager. My parents were both in the Navy, and knew I was obsessed with fighter jets. They took me to see the movie, and I was ecstatic. Next morning, my Dad woke me up before dawn, loaded me into his truck, and drove me to NAS (Naval Air Station) Oceana, where he worked. It's the East Coast's master jet base. Dad drove me to the Air Operations building (where the control tower is, right on the flight line), sat me down on the back porch, handed me a couple of rolls of quarters for the vending machines, and a disposable camera. I spent the whole morning taking pics of the jets, and a couple of pilots even gave me their squadron patches. One of the best days if my life! Nearly 40 years later, I'm still a massive military aircraft fanboy.
Three things: Penny's daughter being named Amelia, after Amelia Earheart. Two of the call signs being Harvard and Yale. Rooster's statement, "It's what my dad would have done." Double meaning, referring to Goose AND Maverick.
Well done on remembering the Penny Benjamin mentions from the first movie and working out her and Mavericks history. Out of the reactions of TG Maverick, your one of the very few who got it! Glad you enjoyed and yes it was amazing in the cinema! If they ever rerun it again in the cinemas, go and see 😉
Honestly, this is kind of a perfect movie in my opinion. Razor sharp script. Groundbreaking visuals. Every action scene is shot and edited to perfection. Every emotional beat hits when it needs to. There isn’t a wasted scene or line of dialogue. There’s so many ways this movie could have turned out bad, but they completely nailed it.
Top Gun director Tony Scott sadly passed away 10 years ago. His last films were "Taking of Pelham 123" and "Unstoppable". Both with Denzel Washington in the lead and very entertaining imo.
Kosinski did Oblivion with Tom Cruise as well around 10 years ago. Worth a look. Personally think it's underrated...but it's Sci Fi, so only some will fully enjoy it. Incredible visually, and as usual Cruise brings the intensity.
Thought of it the other day, that's at least the second Navy joke he's got about boats and ships. A Few Good Men he says he's not crazy about boats and Moore says: You're in the Navy for crying out loud!
16:59 they couldn't use drones because they are using GPS jamming, it is explained in the beginning. 20:51 they use the missiles as distraction, it was explained in the briefing.
I don't think that pun was intended. "can they go on cruise control" The editor caught it. I think it was genius. Wish I would have thought of it when at the theater.
Tom is a friggin' gem. This movie really is about his progressive story with Goose's son rather than all the action (but we love that too guys!) Rooster is no chicken. What a great movie!
Spent 8 yrs in the navy, on deck if carriers. Was in an f14 squadron. Loved it. So this song takes me back. For both love of the movie and time in the navy.
They dedicated this movie to Tony Scott since he died some time back. Joseph Kosinski is an amazing director. Him and Tom Cruise team up in another movie you havent seen yet, Oblivion. It is fucking amazing movie that you should watch.
@QuantumFlux Same, it's on my gym play list. M83 did an amazing job. Advise you to put on earphones and play "Starwaves" on medium volume. It sounds even more phenomenal with earphones.
30:05 "I don't know how it was more emotional, but it just was." ------------------------------------- Exactly. I didn't expect an action movie to be such a tear-jerker, yet here we are... ;o)
This movie refers to how insane Mach 10 is. Even more insane when you learn that the fastest speed humans have traveled was back in 1969 when the Apollo 10 crew topped out at more than Mach 30. They hit speeds of nearly 25000 miles per hour (nearly 40000 kph) during their return trip back to earth.
The kid in the beginning after saying Earth should’ve said Welcome. Jennifer Connely’s role wasn’t in the first one only mentioned. She was mentioned by James Tolkan’s character as the Admiral’s daughter that Maverick dated. They couldn’t shoot missiles from the ship to hit the Uranium due to the lay of the land and they’d possibly get nailed by the Sams. I’m not a huge Tom Cruise fan but it was cool that he fought to have Val Kilmer in this movie and worked his health into the script.
Fun fact: When pulling high Gs jet pilots use a maneuver where they tense there body and breathe certain way to prevent themselves from going unconscious.
Tony Scott couldn't direct this, as sadly he committed suicide in 2012. It's believed that he was suffering from depression, but his brother Ridley Scott later revealed that Tony had also been battling cancer.
Blasting the roof off the guard shack wasn't intentional, but they only had one take for that. They had an F-18 taking off low at high speed and CGI'd Darkstar over it. The shockwave taking the roof was unintentional but quite awesome.
There were 19 practice run and on the 20th run which was their one take, the roof came off. Just adds so much more to the scene. And kudos to Ed Harris for taking that compression wave head on.
Everyone knew there would be a sex scene in this film, but I don't think anyone was prepared for what we got. It was a mature scene, of two people later in their lives, still capable but more focused on their connection. Penny doesn't see Maverick as his pilot ego, but as Pete Mitchell, a guy she fell for way back when but moved on from, and then reconnected with some years later, was heart-broken, but now is feeling that last chance come into play. The hot tongue action of the first film was appropriate then, when Maverick was in his 20's, but this was somewhat more appropriate for his later life. It connects more with the audience that the film was intended for, and is a good role model for any youth. Love isn't just about pleasure... It's about creating a connection that lasts.
This is probably one of the best Legacy films to have been made. I saw the original, as a HS teen, in 86. After countless viewings, I caught this one multiple times in the theater. Much like myself, we saw Lt. Mitchell start as the rising star in his youth. By this film, Capt. Mitchell is facing the end of his career, way of life, etc, as many people do. How we have it has much to say about the person. One last ride, indeed, for Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. As always, I enjoyed your reaction/review.
You are the first reactor I've seen who's caught the Danger Zone theme in the low brass during the mission launch sequence! I noticed that soundtrack detail in the theater and loved it, so it was great to see you appreciating it as well!
Very good reaction, ma'am. This is the best movie I have seen in years, and the first one I have gone to see 4 times in the theatre in a very long time. Loved how you understood all the humor, the nastalga, the suspense, the action, the romance, the weepy parts. Got a tear when Kilmer died, even watching your review. Enjoyed your reaction. You have a great giggle.
I wasn't into the first movie because of how technical everything was. Since I don't know anything about aviation, it was hard to understand what the characters were doing This movie on the other hand was a lot easier to understand. They had a mission and they had to know how to perform each stage to complete it.
Did you get the Easter egg? When Maverick first meets Penny(Jennifer Connely) in the bar!! Music by David Bowie plays in the background, with whom she filmed Labyrinth when she was 16.
I HEAVILY recommend seeing all of the 3 performances for which he received nominations (Best Actor for BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY (1989) and JERRY MAGUIRE (1996) and Best Supporting Actor for MAGNOLIA (1999)). He was robbed IMO for BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY and MAGNOLIA especially.
6 o’clock means behind you. Just look on the face of a clock. 12 o’clock is in front of you and 3,9 o’clock right and left. This director also directed Tom in Oblivion. You should react to it.
This was a masterpiece waiting 30 million billion years for the sequel to come out finally worth every penny waiting for this to come out Tom Cruise awesome job Good finish to the character and end of the storyline for everybody involved in the first movie Glad you enjoyed this movie more masterpiece of 2022 year
You caught one of the songs at the beginning and how important the lyrics were. It's the same for virtually all of them. Two of my favorites: When Mav shows up in Penny's bar David Bowie's "Let's Dance" is playing. Bowie played opposite Connelly as the Goblin King in her first major role in the film "Labyrinth" The moment Rooster walks into the bar Hangman puts "Slow Ride" on the jukebox. "I LOVE this song" he tells Rooster
Did you know that they trained an AI on hours and hours of Val Kilmer's voice, and it re-created the voice so well, that people broke down when they heard it? In the movie, he lip syncs to an AI voice, and it sounds exacly like him!
I grew up with the original Top Gun. I’ll always love it and Top Gun: Maverick is even better! Best film of 2022 and since it was nominated for Best Picture I really want it to win! It’s the most fun I had at the cinema in years, and it’s an epic experience!
If they go ahead with a third one, I'm pretty sure it's going to focus on Rooster, with Maverick being more of a mentor. Anyway, you need more Val Kilmer on the channel. I nominate Thunderheart. He plays an FBI agent sent to investigate a murder on an American Indian reservation. Also stars Sam Shepard, Graham Greene, and Fred Ward.
A good film. Let me also nominate- for a completely out of left field change of pace - *Real Genius*. A hugely fun, nerdy film. And almost as quotable as Ghostbusters!
Penny Benjamin was the Admiral's daughter that Maverick took her in a F14 joyride in the first movie and got in trouble, but that was just a mention. Now, at the end of this movie, the show Pete and Penny taking a joyride into the sunset visually. It all come full circke.
18:50 they cant just drone strike it, the entire base is protected by sam turrets and navigaiting the canyon is the only way to do it, something a drone can not do.
Agreed, this was a much better film in almost every way. I remember going to see "Top Gun" when it was released in 1986 and it really was a special film for sure. Something that had never been done in the "modern age" of film. That being said, I was really surprised at just how good this film was and how glad I was that Tom Cruise fought so hard to keep in on hold for years so that it could be released in theaters.
The first one is still epic. They're both equally great for the time they came out. Maverick was a pure adrenaline rush with absolutely insane action scenes completeled with a level of reality. Top Gun was an emotional thrill ride that displayed the Air Force to the world in rockstar fashion.
I also liked Top Gun Maverick a little more than the original...I think cause I waited over ,30 years to watch it..but the sequel wouldn't be as good as it was without the O.G. Top Gun.,..but I enjoyed both or love both movies. 😎 Also enjoyed your reaction.
Personal opinion, "Hold my Hand" isn't cringe, it's a pretty damn uplifting song especially in some rough situations. Anyways this movie was amazing and nice reaction
Basically the plan is to fly through the trench low enough to avoid the sentry guns then shoot missiles preciously into a hole. Only a precise hit will start a chain reaction that will blow up the entire Death Star.
Val Kilmer died in the time between finishing the movie and releasing the movie. Remember, this movie release was delayed like 2 years because of COVID. They added the death and funeral to pay respect to Val Kilmer.
The old fighter plane that you see Maverick working on in his hanger is actually Tom Cruises own plane. He is a fully qualified pilot and wanted to fly for himself in the movie but the miltary would not alllow him. So he bought his own plane.
Great reaction. Felt the same way. Movie of the year for me, even though there's a lot of other good ones. I watched it 8 times in the theater with 7 different audiences. Almost everyone I went with saw it one more time before it left the theater. I was very surprised it stayed in theaters for over 3 months here (Hawai'i). Most movies barely stay more than one month. If you revisit the original Top Gun, Penny is mentioned but not seen. Penny is the admiral's daughter mentioned in the flight debrief when Goose and Maverick were told by their commanding officer that they'd be going to Top Gun. She was mentioned again by Goose's wife right before they went into singing Great Balls of Fire. Glad you enjoyed it and we got to enjoy it with you. I'm waiting for Dead Reckoning Part One to come out. Looks solid.
Sequels are rarely as good as the first but this one is an exception to that. This was 35 years in the making and it is great that the actors actually flew in real jets along with a trained pilot of course. This made the film more immersive and the fact that Tom Cruise is a licensed pilot helped with the other actors' training. The P51 at the end is actually owned by Tom and the end scenes were actually him flying. Jennifer has a fear of flying so kudos to her for putting hear fear behind her for the sake of her craft. great reaction to a great movie.
they could, and did, fly IN the planes, but they couldnt FLY the planes, no civilian can fly a military aircraft, not even Tom cruise. But apparently, he did try. it did make it real, and it showed
I've watched this movie 3 times already once on IMAX (Best Movie on IMAX Ever) once on normal screen at the cinema and once on HBO and I'm not tired of it, just like the 1st one that I think is the movie that I've ever watched the most (even over Star Wars Original Trilogies) and that speaks really good about this movie. When you said: "I think Maverick has to stop" I just laughed thinking: "How do you say Stop to Tom Cruise?" XD But I remember after watching the movie for the 1st time at the cinema I just watched a post from Val on Instagram with the 2 of them and the caption was: "I always be your Wingman" and I was like... "I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!" XD I remember Tom said: "there's no Maverick without Val!" That speaks enough of him! Very classy of Tom! Now... counting the days for Mission Impossible!!! People are going to miss Tom when he gets retired!!!!
Decades in the making Top Movie of 2022 LOVE IT. Have in on 4K disk watched three times already. Hats off and prayers for Val for coming back and to Vals son to help too U R LOVE THIS!!
16:57 They cant drone bomb it becouse of the radar jamming in the area so high alltitude missile guidance wont work. They explained that early on as Maverick was told about the mission. They have to get in very close to avoid the jamming signal.
Sadly Tony Scott took his own life a few years ago but I feel he would've done a great job with this one if he were still around, he had a great relationship with Tom Cruise. An awesome movie directed by him, and written by Quentin Tarantino is "True Romance." It's got an amazing cast, including Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt, Samuel L. Jackson and so many others.
He won the mission and hit the Boy too;) notice the user where rooster says Talk to me dad, and you immediately hear Maverick in his ears, symbolism..lol

Damn Mary you were a little TOO CHATTY on this one.....

was delightfully surprised
Ummm, are you sure about that? I've looked him up and there are no records of him being a Naval aviator.

No green screen in the world can create a more immersive feeling than following the actors on REAL jets, flying FOR REAL

Which was why Maverick couldn't pick him to be the other shooter. Only room for one hot shot.
This is my number one favorite film of 2022. I cried when Rooster said it's what my dad would've done after saving Maverick.

That's because those remaining 15 seconds would allow the other three planes to arrive, use their lasers and drop their bombs.
I'm fairly certain the training run was easier as no one was shooting at him.

This is probably one of the best Legacy films to have been made. I saw the original, as a HS teen, in 86. After countless viewings, I caught this one multiple times in the theater.
Much like myself, we saw Lt. Mitchell start as the rising star in his youth. By this film, Capt. Mitchell is facing the end of his career, way of life, etc, as many people do. How we have it has much to say about the person.
One last ride, indeed, for Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell.
As always, I enjoyed your reaction/review.
"Cruise Control" 🤣🤣
You made a great movie even more fun! Thanks, Mary!
You are the first reactor I've seen who's caught the Danger Zone theme in the low brass during the mission launch sequence! I noticed that soundtrack detail in the theater and loved it, so it was great to see you appreciating it as well!
God bless you Val Kilmer.
You absolute legend.
The reason why they couldn’t bring Charlie back is because Kelly McGillis looks way older than Tom Cruise. She hasn’t aged very well.
Charles Parnell as Warlock did the voice of Nick Fury in Marvel's Avengers video game.
Very good reaction, ma'am. This is the best movie I have seen in years, and the first one I have gone to see 4 times in the theatre in a very long time. Loved how you understood all the humor, the nastalga, the suspense, the action, the romance, the weepy parts. Got a tear when Kilmer died, even watching your review. Enjoyed your reaction. You have a great giggle.
I wasn't into the first movie because of how technical everything was. Since I don't know anything about aviation, it was hard to understand what the characters were doing
This movie on the other hand was a lot easier to understand. They had a mission and they had to know how to perform each stage to complete it.
Aviation as a good ol Star Wars Trench Run is the simplest way to draw audiences in.
What was confusing in the first movie? I know they don't waste time on exposition to explain terms, just as they would when talking to each other.
Did you get the Easter egg? When Maverick first meets Penny(Jennifer Connely) in the bar!! Music by David Bowie plays in the background, with whom she filmed Labyrinth when she was 16.
I HEAVILY recommend seeing all of the 3 performances for which he received nominations (Best Actor for BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY (1989) and JERRY MAGUIRE (1996) and Best Supporting Actor for MAGNOLIA (1999)). He was robbed IMO for BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY and MAGNOLIA especially.
6 o’clock means behind you. Just look on the face of a clock. 12 o’clock is in front of you and 3,9 o’clock right and left.
This director also directed Tom in Oblivion. You should react to it.
This was a masterpiece waiting 30 million billion years for the sequel to come out finally worth every penny waiting for this to come out Tom Cruise awesome job Good finish to the character and end of the storyline for everybody involved in the first movie Glad you enjoyed this movie more masterpiece of 2022 year
You caught one of the songs at the beginning and how important the lyrics were. It's the same for virtually all of them.
Two of my favorites:
When Mav shows up in Penny's bar David Bowie's "Let's Dance" is playing. Bowie played opposite Connelly as the Goblin King in her first major role in the film "Labyrinth"
The moment Rooster walks into the bar Hangman puts "Slow Ride" on the jukebox. "I LOVE this song" he tells Rooster
_Labyrinth_ was release the same year as _Top Gun_ and Jennifer Connelly was *sixteen* at the time. Highway to the danger zone, indeed!
Tom Cruise in the Sci-Fi Oblivion is fantastic, as is Mission Impossible!
Did you know that they trained an AI on hours and hours of Val Kilmer's voice, and it re-created the voice so well, that people broke down when they heard it? In the movie, he lip syncs to an AI voice, and it sounds exacly like him!
"Talk to me, dad."
Rooster turns Super Saiyan... What a movie.
RIP Tony Scott
He directed the first movie
RIP
I recommend reacting to Unstoppable from 2010. His last film and loosely inspired by true events.
Mary I really enjoyed your Emotion reactions like happiness and laughing and crying, good thing lola was there with you very cute cat !!! 🐈⬛♥️
Intentionally makes the cocky rooster joke, then accidentally tells Lola the cat to not press the "paws" button. 😂
I’m surprised they didn’t release a *double feature* of both films in theaters!
Ah, that would have been brilliant - a ton of people watched it online before seeing the sequel. Missed opportunity on Paramount's part!
They did here in Ireland. It was awesome 👌
Who else laughed uncontrollably when she said Mo-Jave instead of Mo-Ha-Vey
To be fair, I’d fail just as bad with some Australian place names!
When you're watching Top Gun: Maverick, you don't get goosebumps. You get roosterbumps.
Everybody was so relieved to see Roosters parachute but Goose parachuted out too.
I grew up with the original Top Gun. I’ll always love it and Top Gun: Maverick is even better! Best film of 2022 and since it was nominated for Best Picture I really want it to win! It’s the most fun I had at the cinema in years, and it’s an epic experience!
If they go ahead with a third one, I'm pretty sure it's going to focus on Rooster, with Maverick being more of a mentor.
Anyway, you need more Val Kilmer on the channel. I nominate Thunderheart. He plays an FBI agent sent to investigate a murder on an American Indian reservation. Also stars Sam Shepard, Graham Greene, and Fred Ward.
Absolutely agree. Thunderheart was a great film!
A good film. Let me also nominate- for a completely out of left field change of pace - *Real Genius*. A hugely fun, nerdy film. And almost as quotable as Ghostbusters!
"Real Genius" would be a good one too.
I'd also say The Saint, but its Russian storyline might be too close to world news right now 🤷
Penny Benjamin was the Admiral's daughter that Maverick took her in a F14 joyride in the first movie and got in trouble, but that was just a mention. Now, at the end of this movie, the show Pete and Penny taking a joyride into the sunset visually. It all come full circke.
“How did he do that? That’s crazy.”
Yup, he used the Force. 😂
When the WSO shouted "Deadeye!" to denote failure of the laser designator, I initially thought he said, "Jedi!" LOL.
probs hahah
18:50 they cant just drone strike it, the entire base is protected by sam turrets and navigaiting the canyon is the only way to do it, something a drone can not do.
Hey Mary. Your movie reactions are amazing. Keep up the good work.
29:40 ...."John Kazinsky directed this film, not Tony Scott".... Maybe is because Tony Scott is been dead for years now..... who knows?.....
What makes this movie awesome is that these aren't special effects or green screen. They are actually in real planes flying around.
Agreed, this was a much better film in almost every way. I remember going to see "Top Gun" when it was released in 1986 and it really was a special film for sure. Something that had never been done in the "modern age" of film. That being said, I was really surprised at just how good this film was and how glad I was that Tom Cruise fought so hard to keep in on hold for years so that it could be released in theaters.
It's one of my favorite Tom Cruise movies I've ever seen since I saw this in theaters back in May last year.
Hi Mary! I don’t know if you’ll ever see this comment, but I just wanted to say you’re so amazing! Thanks for uploading such wholesome, funny content!
The first one is still epic. They're both equally great for the time they came out. Maverick was a pure adrenaline rush with absolutely insane action scenes completeled with a level of reality. Top Gun was an emotional thrill ride that displayed the Air Force to the world in rockstar fashion.
I also liked Top Gun Maverick a little more than the original...I think cause I waited over ,30 years to watch it..but the sequel wouldn't be as good as it was without the O.G. Top Gun.,..but I enjoyed both or love both movies. 😎 Also enjoyed your reaction.
Personal opinion, "Hold my Hand" isn't cringe, it's a pretty damn uplifting song especially in some rough situations. Anyways this movie was amazing and nice reaction
The enemy has got ace pilots as well. Nice that the movie acknowledged this.
On your 6 means like 6 on a clock, so your 6 is directly behind.
Oblivion is a good movie with the same direction, Joseph Kosinski. Also starring Tom Cruise. It has the same kind of vibe as edge of tomorrow
Basically the plan is to fly through the trench low enough to avoid the sentry guns then shoot missiles preciously into a hole. Only a precise hit will start a chain reaction that will blow up the entire Death Star.
That's impossible, even for a computer.
Val Kilmer died in the time between finishing the movie and releasing the movie.
Remember, this movie release was delayed like 2 years because of COVID. They added the death and funeral to pay respect to Val Kilmer.
What?? He's not dead.
The old fighter plane that you see Maverick working on in his hanger is actually Tom Cruises own plane. He is a fully qualified pilot and wanted to fly for himself in the movie but the miltary would not alllow him. So he bought his own plane.
Rooster: Talk to me dad
Maverick: come on kid you can do it
Pilots don't pin their wings in coffins. That's only Seals pinning their Trident in coffins.
Great reaction. Felt the same way. Movie of the year for me, even though there's a lot of other good ones.
I watched it 8 times in the theater with 7 different audiences. Almost everyone I went with saw it one more time before it left the theater. I was very surprised it stayed in theaters for over 3 months here (Hawai'i). Most movies barely stay more than one month.
If you revisit the original Top Gun, Penny is mentioned but not seen. Penny is the admiral's daughter mentioned in the flight debrief when Goose and Maverick were told by their commanding officer that they'd be going to Top Gun. She was mentioned again by Goose's wife right before they went into singing Great Balls of Fire.
Glad you enjoyed it and we got to enjoy it with you. I'm waiting for Dead Reckoning Part One to come out. Looks solid.
Sadly countries not exposed to Hollywood in the 80s didn't care for this or Star Wars. They gobbled up James Cameron's cartoon though.
@@cuckoonut1208 Got a fan in SE Asia that went to see it daily tho... that was way beyond me... 😂
Sequels are rarely as good as the first but this one is an exception to that. This was 35 years in the making and it is great that the actors actually flew in real jets along with a trained pilot of course. This made the film more immersive and the fact that Tom Cruise is a licensed pilot helped with the other actors' training. The P51 at the end is actually owned by Tom and the end scenes were actually him flying. Jennifer has a fear of flying so kudos to her for putting hear fear behind her for the sake of her craft. great reaction to a great movie.
they could, and did, fly IN the planes, but they couldnt FLY the planes, no civilian can fly a military aircraft, not even Tom cruise. But apparently, he did try. it did make it real, and it showed
Yes Mary🍒♥️ Your reaction to Top Gun Maverick is finally 🛩 my favorite part song Great balls of fire🎹🎶
I've watched this movie 3 times already once on IMAX (Best Movie on IMAX Ever) once on normal screen at the cinema and once on HBO and I'm not tired of it, just like the 1st one that I think is the movie that I've ever watched the most (even over Star Wars Original Trilogies) and that speaks really good about this movie.
When you said: "I think Maverick has to stop" I just laughed thinking: "How do you say Stop to Tom Cruise?" XD
But I remember after watching the movie for the 1st time at the cinema I just watched a post from Val on Instagram with the 2 of them and the caption was: "I always be your Wingman" and I was like... "I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!" XD
I remember Tom said: "there's no Maverick without Val!"
That speaks enough of him! Very classy of Tom!
Now... counting the days for Mission Impossible!!!
People are going to miss Tom when he gets retired!!!!
"Please give us more Goose in this movie."
"STOP! STOP! STOP!" :D
Glad you enjoyed it - wonderful reaction and review after the film. You seem to understand cinema and emotionality quite well. :-)
The Kilmer scene always gets me.
In the theater, not a dry eye
Mary: How did he do that?
Me: He used the force. 🙃
Decades in the making Top Movie of 2022 LOVE IT. Have in on 4K disk watched three times already. Hats off and prayers for Val for coming back and to Vals son to help too U R LOVE THIS!!
16:57 They cant drone bomb it becouse of the radar jamming in the area so high alltitude missile guidance wont work. They explained that early on as Maverick was told about the mission. They have to get in very close to avoid the jamming signal.
It's good to see Iceman again. His scene is one of the best, especially when it shows the pic of them both shaking hands.
24:16 Swat Kats moment, 27:00 "Oh Sheesh Kabab!" moment. Me watch 4 times. 😁
Sadly Tony Scott took his own life a few years ago but I feel he would've done a great job with this one if he were still around, he had a great relationship with Tom Cruise. An awesome movie directed by him, and written by Quentin Tarantino is "True Romance." It's got an amazing cast, including Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt, Samuel L. Jackson and so many others.
He won the mission and hit the Boy too;) notice the user where rooster says Talk to me dad, and you immediately hear Maverick in his ears, symbolism..lol
