Maverick is the perfect showcase for how to do sequence/callback films. It references the old film just enough to bring back the nostalgia but not so much as to make it a copy.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME TOP GUN MAVERICK WAS JUST TOP GUN PRETTY MUCH WITH DIFFERENT AIRCRAFT AN DIFFERENT ACTORS..SAME BASIC PLOTLINE THAT IS KEYWORD HERE IS "BASIC" A.K.A "PRETTY MUCH" THAT IS BUT OTHER THAN THAT YEAH THIS MOVIE IS THE IDEAL WAY TO SHOW CALLBACKS/FLASHBACKS.. THAT IS I MEAN DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVED BOTH OF THEM (THIS ONE AND TOP GUN AS WELL🙂😂🤣👍👍)
@@65coupestang - not REALLY the same storyline. Top Gun - Youngsters Maverick & Goose, and a bunch of other young pilots attending a military school. Top Gun Maverick - seasoned pilot training a bunch of other Top Gun grads for a very specific, nearly suicidal mission.
You missed one of the biggest throwback scenes: when Maverick is introduced to the class having its first briefing in an open hangar. In the new movie, Maverick is in the same role as Charlotte Blackwood was in the original (except he doesn't wear fishnet stockings and heels, or at least they don't show that).
Also, Dood!! You missed the best call-back of all. The admiral's daughter mentioned twice in the original TG, Penny Benjamin, who Maverick got in trouble for "going ballistic" with, was the love interest in the 2022 film, played by the gorgeous Jennifer Connelly!!
Not necessarily a callback, but more of an easter egg was when she is first introduced on screen. The song playing in the background was David Bowie's "Let's Dance". Connelly and Bowie were the leads in "Labyrinth" which opened about a month after Top Gun in 1986.
This movie is a freaking unicorn. A sequel nobody asked for to a not-so-great movie from 35+ years ago in an era where most blockbuster films are either sequels, prequels or remakes... and it manages to be one of the best movies I've ever seen. The tower buzz was the cherry on top for me.
I have to disagree about the original being a "Not-so-great movie." Not only was it a iconic movie of an era, it created it's own genre of movies and TV shows that lasted into the 2000's. The sequel wouldn't be as successful and emotional for so many people if the original movie hadn't withstood the test of time.
5:00 that’s not true. In the trailers the flags of Taiwan and Japan were altered to appease the Chinese market, but in the actual released movie, the flags are their normal, unaltered selves.
I remember after the first one, the home entertainment sections of the big stores back then would showcase their new TVs with Top Gun on every screen. This one would fit right into that. And in the old TV days, if you surfed, and this new one was on, you’d put the remote down no matter where it was in the movie. Get the chips and drinks, and you’d be set. Great flick.
you forgot the classic Porsche connection - the love interest in each film drives a classic (for the era) air-cooled Porsche. Charlie a 356, and Penny a 911.
@@anakinskywalker0721 Just like the recent screenrant article they got very wrong titled "Top Gun: Maverick" Does Not Denounce Toxic Masculinity, it Embraces it" by Joe Milo. They took this article down btw because of the obvious backlash it got.
I finally realized why Top Gun: Maverick is such a amazing movie. It's like watching, "Back to the Future," if they had actually filmed the past/future scenes 30 years apart. Also amazing how Viper/Maverick's relationship is the same as Maverick/Rooster's.
@@_baller How so? Both movies span about the same time and deal with multiple generations, showing the consequences of their actions. Viper flew with Maverick's dad when he was killed, is conflicted on how to deal with him as a student, and helps Maverick regain his confidence.
@@Drowsyspace128 Wasn't about rights.....just the fact that Russia is the only country flying them in real life, so better to just refer to it as a 5th Gen fighter.
Being stationed on a air base these call signs are tame. I knew guys who had “dumpsterbuttski” “zetard the untrainable” “Pops” “dadbod” there was a guy named house so his callsign was “waffle”. They have funny ass names sometimes
@@roelmd8907 - LOL...other people's reactions to him had nothing to do with it. If you paid attention in THIS movie, he's still pissing off Admirals with the ol' fly-by. He doesn't care about them getting pissed off.
Another one is Charlie telling Maverick that he won’t be happy until he is going Mach 10 with his hair on fire. In the new film he as a test pilot he is trying to push the aircraft to Mach 10+ before having to eject.
Only one nit: The USA did not sell off the F-14s to allies. Iran was sold F-14 Tomcats back when they were our allies in the 1970s. After the revolution, we stopped selling them anything, including repair parts. When the USA retired in 2006, they weren't sold, they were, for the most part destroyed. They were not offered up to allies due to the fear that the parts would end up in Iran. To this day, the *ONLY* nation that still flies the F-14 is Iran. It was a great plane (in many ways superior to the F-18 IMHO), and sorry to see it go. Great video. Thanks.
You forgot Maverick's OTHER signature jet move..."hitting the brakes to let the other guy fly right by." He performed that trick 2 times in the original and 2 times in the new one....both done in training and in actual combat..but only once in the F-14 in the new one, so that was different...
My parents were pretty disappointed with the sequel. I personally couldn't get enough of it. I mean, I went back to the cinema two days after my first viewing to watch the film a second time. That's how much I love it. My mom said that Maverick referenced the first film so much that it became pretty annoying after a certain point, and my dad didn't appreciate the over-the-top action and unrealistic aspects of it all. I can't blame him, since he's a pilot himself. I, however, see the film for what it really is. A technical the feat of practical effects and real, intense, G-locking stunt work. A love letter to military aviation packaged in an easy-to-swallow pill for the movie-going masses. An homage to the original film done in such a way that it just works. I sincerely hope that this film earns a cult status like the first film did in the coming years.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I'M PRETTY LEARY OF GOING TO SEE THIS MOVIE WITH MY DADSINCE HE'S ALSO A PILOT..HE'D BE CALLING BULL SPIT ON PRETTY MUCH EVERY SCENE ESPECIALLY THE MACH 10 SCENE ..BUT I LIKED/LOVED THIS MOVIE NONETHELESS 🤔🤷♂️🤨
@@65coupestang same feelings for me, too. I managed to look pasted all the "Hollywood bullshit" and saw the film for what it really is. I may know a bit about aviation, and I did notice a few fallacies in the film, but it's great nonetheless.
I believe it is incorrect that the aircraft carrier is the Roosevelt in Maverick. Isn’t it the Abe Lincoln? Recall the bobble head of Abe Lincoln in the new movie? At the 7:10 mark
Top Gun Maverick hasn't been released in Chy-Nah, so Paramount decided to go ahead and put the Taiwan patch back on Mav's leather flight jacket. It's easy to miss, but it's there.
This movie is a nostalgic rush. When that first text screen in the original font I knew this film is gonna be awesome. It was an amazing experience to wacth the movies with my father.
I find it interesting Screen Rant gives a positive review while hacks like JOE MILO of Screen Rant is claiming this movie is a "Celebration of Toxic Masculinity" while there is no Toxic Masculinity depicted at all.
I think I said this already but I'm going to say it again every time I see Maverick and Rooster hugging I'm sobbing uncontrollably and even way before that I was crying during parts of this movie you have to be made of stone if you're not sobbing 😭
3:43 an Su-14 is a heavy SPG, not an aircraft. What you mean was the Su-57 Felon. Russia’s answer to the F-22 Raptor. 4:24 the Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) is not a copilot, the RIO has no control over the aircraft flight systems or maneuvers.
Wouldn't Goose's son be almost 40 years old now if he was a baby in the first top gun? Anyway other than that, this movie rocked it I don't give a damn how many *pansy wokes* it upset, this was the total America/Action/Cowboy/Cowgirl movie and it was AWESOME!!
The movie doesn't state when it is set (unless I missed it). We're assuming it's 2022. Top Gun Maverick was supposed to be released in 2020 but the pandemic put paid to that. I think Maverick references '30 years ago', which suggests Rooster is in his early to mid 30s. This film is bloody brilliant! I loved every minute of it from the opening credits with THAT music right to the end!
lol you forgot one, the connection between Penny from the the new film to the first is that shes the "admirals daughter" from the first movie mentioned in the bar scene, they have the same name and its implied that her and Maverick have a history throughout both movies.
You clearly missed the best callback/Easter egg of the movie - Penny Benjamin. While the character was in the first movie in name only Commander yelling: "..and one low pass flyby of an Admiral's daughter!" (Goose whispering) "Penny Benjamin" - it was still a great callback that we older fans recognized immediately.
The carrier scenes in the opening are from both the Roosevelt and the Abraham Lincoln, look for the bobblehead. The Theodore Roosevelt is in the climax of the movie.
The Sniper series still has plenty call backs from the original and a clear it your turn moment when Becket sr character is promoted to leader of the operation. Later movies are not perfect but they also don't have Top Gun budget.
While I was watching the movie I found it weird how they said he got five kills. That’s too low for thirty years, did they just mean in that dog fight?
Saudis NEVER flew the Tomcat. They opted for the Eagle which is much easier maintenance wise. Only country that showed an interest in the Tomcat was the Iranian Air Force under the Shah.
The mission in the movie was an “unsanctioned” Iranian nuclear enrichment bunker. So the rival country was clearly stated. And yes, F14s were sold to Iran.

We LIKED the fact that Rooster looks a lot like Goose. Hangman was like a cross between young Maverick and young Iceman.
My son said "They got the same actor to play Rooster that played Goose". LOL. Says a lot about the actor.
Yes it was good that they looked the same. My date said similar they look the same. She hadn't seen the first film.

When you're flying like 'Rooster' you're going to be late to the comment section. Oh, well. Major props to the studio for not changing the jacket.
Somehow in the Singapore release, all the flags on the back are scrubbed...
He must have been watching Morbius and just made that up from previous clips! Glad they "unfixed" it, at least for U.S. audiences.
They unfixed this because they lost Chinese funding.
In the release the Japan flag is not there. Not sure about the other flag when doing a visual comparison from both movies
You forgot to mention the "bird strike" scene which was nearly identical to the "jet wash" scene; except nobody died the second time around.
This is the only movie I've ever watched more than once on the big screen.
I watched it twice in the theaters. Seriously thinking to go a third time.
@@GabrielTan1980 i watched it 4 times XD
I'm going tomorrow to watch the second half on iMax, it's worth it!
I watched Maverick 5x times in theatre I was a bit afraid it is a bit crazy but I am happy to hear Iam not alone who is that crazy
The loss of Goose still gets me to this day especially after going into the military myself and losing so many friends.

Lol clever! General Hummel (The Rock)- Ed Harris, plays principal Strickland ( Back to the Future)- James Tolkan, from Top Gun. Pretty much lol!
The moment of his appearance resembles a lot the opening scene from the Rock when arriving at the Naval Base with the "inspection".

wow that wild bro. who would've thought
😂I love the beginning!
I just realized that Penny Benjamin was the Admirals Daughter in the first Top Gun.
You mist the scene where he was inverted above Rooster calling back to the scene with the MIG 28
The jokes in this video were really great. Especially the Morbius one was golden.
The Navy and Air Force had a 500% jump in recruits because of Top Gun. Generation X, not Boomers.
I lost at "Morbin Zone" 🤣🤣🤣
This has got to be the best film of 2022

Most likely takes place in 2019, it’s original release date. Consistent with Maverick still being a captain in his mid-late 50s

even better if youve watched top gun 1986

yes

My cousin was on the USS Theodore Roosevelt from 1988-92.
my dad loves top gun thanks hes really happy
3:42 SU-14???? It was a SU-57 Felon
9:05 "...Greater films like Jaws the Revenge" . Excuse me, but what have you been smoking?
I heard the Taiwan patch was back. Also, I remember that the leather jacket was his dads, or at least some of the patches were his dads
Wasn’t Maverick’s iconic leather jacket with all the patches his father’s jacket before him? And wasn’t his father also a fighter pilot who went down?
Maverick scored two aerial victories against Su-57s, not Su-14s.
Maverick shoots down two SU57’s in this flick. Not sure what an SU14 is
Sir he shot down 2 SU-57s not SU-14s
You are wrong about his jacket. Taiwan patch was on it in the movie.

It’s 1986 again. Gen Xers and their Gen z kids unite
So true. Went with my kids. We both loved it, me probably more than them
yup, my mum and I went together
The carrier scenes in the opening are from both the Roosevelt and the Abraham Lincoln, look for the bobblehead. The Theodore Roosevelt is in the climax of the movie.

He’s not called maverick for nothing, breaking the rules is part of his call sign and character
It's a great movie!!
Can you think that Rooster is soon in his 40s and look's in his 20 s is just weird but cool at the same time
You forgot about Penny!
They should use Macross Plus ad the story for Top Gun 3. It is pretty set up.
i met the pilot that flew for tom cruise in the first movie.
SU14 ???
4:37 a RIO isn't a copilot. He can't control the plane. He's only the Radar Intercept Officer
