Got a little surprise for you guys.

I may or may not have been texting some of these responses to my buddy. And the producer and the director may or may not be loving every word...



I bet Tom has been following this thread.

Hi Tom! You kick Ass!

Tell them we need Meg Ryan circa 1986 back for this.

CGI can do that now right?

Born in 78 here. Loved Star Wars but the Top Gun soundtrack was the first cassette I ever bought. Wore it out.

1. Glen Powell - do we know who he is in the movie?
2. Will we get a Meg Ryan cameo?
3. How about Merlin/Andy Dufresne?
4. Finally will we see Sundown pop up?

So he flies a U-2 to Iran and then steals an F-14? I actually love the idea of him stealing an old aircraft, but I don't know that the U-2 aspect would be a part of that.

The more I think about it, the more I think the Harris convo is at the beginning. That kind of speech, where one character lists off another character's accomplishments, is almost always at the beginning of a movie; a type of short-hand to give the audience a quick primer on the main character. I can't see that type of info needed at the end.

I'm thinking we open with Cruise going on some kind of U-2 test flight or mission. He does some brave/crazy thing (ala the opening of first movie), barely makes it out alive, and then Harris gives him that speech. Then the rest of the movie is Cruise then proving the "I'm not extinct" sentiment.

That said, I could be wrong...
good point. Course he could have 2 separate convos with Ed Harris.....first one being where he's listing off accomplishments and this is edited to look like the same convo....

I made it to 2nd base with my future wife while watching Top Gun on VHS. Damn right I'm going to see this with her!
That's it? There were reports of men spontaneously becoming gay after watching the beach volleyball scene.

Kilmer and Cruise would have to be four or five star admirals now or been retired for a few years. Putting them in the cockpit will make as much sense as putting the President of the US in a fighter jet, ala' Independece Day

Awesome that this is mentioned in the trailer. .

I've been giddy for the past 48 hours watching this trailer over and over. Top Gun instilled a love for aviation in me that never went away and although I never ended up doing it as a career, I did obtain my license while at A&M.

Now my 5 & 7 year old boys join me when I watch the opening scene of Top Gun every few months on full blast. We watched the trailer for the first time together and they were enamored.

Just can't believe it's actually happening 34 years later and it makes it even more fun to share it with my boys who seem to have the same love of aircraft I do.

Also - appreciate your insights on the movie TCTTS. It makes this anticipation even more fun.

Listening to the Top Gun Soundtrack and I'm convinced the Top Gun Theme needs to be the new National Anthem.


Imagine this bad boy playing at the Olympics after winning gold. I'd like to see Kaepernick try and kneel during that guitar solo:

To make things worse, I've been fishing in Alaska and haven't seen my wife in a week. I may have to murder a communist to relieve myself.

'Cruz: 'Top Gun' Censorship for China Proves 'Hollywood is Afraid to Stand Up for Free Speech'
https://freebeacon.com/national-security/cruz-top-gun-censorship-for-china-proves-hollywood-is-afraid-to-stand-up-for-free-speech/

Quote:
"Top Gun is an American classic, and it's incredibly disappointing to see Hollywood elites appease the Chinese Communist Party," Cruz told the Free Beacon. "The Party uses China's economy to silence dissent against its brutal repression and to erode the sovereignty of American allies like Taiwan. Hollywood is afraid to stand up for free speech and is enabling the Party's campaign against Taiwan."

It's definitely a case of them "going along" in order to maximize the financial gain and reach of the film by not making waves in China. I don't necessarily fault the studio for thinking about the big picture of the film's success over making a political statement.

I don't like what China represents, and personally I don't agree with changing something just to appease a brutal regime. But it doesn't impact my views of the film.

HOWEVER, in an industry where SO MANY actors, directors, executives, and films go out of their way to make political jabs when it's convenient for them (and ironically, it's typically aimed at those they claim are chasing profit, personal gain, or those they think are oppressive)...issues like this are going be legitimately brought up for good reason.

I don't think it will impact the film...I'm absolutely pumped for it. I do think the hypocrisy of the industry as a whole is the most disappointing. Or really, that's society as a whole. We pick and choose winners and losers...good guys and bad guys.

I'm just going to enjoy the film for what it is and have a good time.

I always thought the Top Gun theme was performed by Eddie Van Halen, but per the video above, it looks like I've wrongly assumed for a long time.

Well hopefully that confirms he has at least a small role in it.
