Yeah, we've talked about the Penny Benjamin thing ad nauseam in this thread, the past couple years.
Well this thread is almost 5 years old….what hasn't been talked about ad nauseam….

Have seen some reviewers offer eye-rolling comments about her character's apparent high-net-worth lifestyle in the new film. Being a humble bar owner and all. Well... Admirals are paid quite well. And are paid even more when they retire to a second career. Admiral Benjamin probably had a small empire of San Diego area real estate.

God I wince at those callsigns. I am watching a documentary right now where the CO's call sign is McLovin. I realize I am already going to be too technical when I watch this movie for the 200th time!Keegan99 said:
That's the one callsign that seems legit.

I think the only disappointment to me for this movie will be the sound track. Younger generation will probably love it, but I'm just an 80s guy and the original was obviously epic 80s. Can't wait.

8 of the 12 songs are written by Faltermeyer, Hans Zimmer, and Gaga. The Gaga Hold My Hand song is another one. OneRepublic has a song (below). Then Danger Zone and one other song
I'd guess they couldn't get the rights to sell that song...UnderoosAg said:
I still wanna know why the F You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' wasn't on the original soundtrack.
The Mavericks…and Maverick. How about that?TCTTS said:
I was picking up beer before the (terrible) Mavs game tonight, headed to a friend's, and heard Lady Gaga's "Hold My Hand" in the wild for the first time, over the liquor store speakers, and I'm all the way in for that song now. Even on its own, without the video. After thinking it was so vanilla initially, it's somehow become so catchy and memorable to me.
I'm in Texas for the week, it's hot as hell, I was headed to watch a Mavs playoff game, a week before my most anticipated blockbuster of the summer, as a hit single from said blockbuster played over the radio in public. For a brief moment, it felt like I was in college again.
I feel the same way about "Hold My Hand". Pretty ho-hum initial reaction from me, but the more I hear it, the more I really feel it.TCTTS said:

I'm watching the OG Top Gun with my son tonight.... he's 12. I was 8 when my dad took me to the theaters to see the original.
Maybe it was somewhat inappropriate for an 8 year old to watch the original back in the 80s (Rated R)... but my dad was a marine pilot during Vietnam and this movie kicked ass.

Also I get Mav playing volleyball in jeans because he's the cool rebel and had a date, but why are Iceman & Hollywood wesring sweatpants to play beach volleyball?
