Most unrealistic part of this movie is a bunch of millenials (possibly zoomers?) knowing all the lyrics to Great Balls of Fire.

---

I chuckle at this, but that was also the one callback I felt was just too much. I know I'm in the minority with that opinion.

---

Really? I took it as a song that Rooster has memories of singing with his dad, so obviously learned it. He also seems to have history with many of the other pilots, so this seemed like something that happens a lot when they are all together at the bar.

---

on first watch, i thought Rooster playing Great Balls of Fire was a bit too "on the nose" too. But i rewatched the first top gun afterward and little rooster is actually older than i remembered and even singing along with Goose in that scene.

Yeah, it's probably one of his fondest memories of his dad. He's sitting on the piano during the song in the original. The only unrealistic part is that all of the guys new the words by heart.

Unless like DallasTeleAg said, it happens a lot.

Go watch the movie again. Once he unplugs the jukebox and goes to the piano, EVERY pilot immediately understood what was about to happen. This was definitely a bunch of peers coming back together for the first time in a while, doing something they did a lot in the past.

I was watching some fighter pilot's review, and he was saying the only country he knows who still has F-14s is Iran.

Yes, Iran is the only nation still flying F-14s. I should correct myself now that I think about it, they never explicitly stated that it was Iran they were attacking.

I just figured it was based on the nuclear enrichment thing.

As a guy who was prepared to call BS on a lot of stuff, I was a big fan of the hyper sonic scenes early on. They must have had real engineers help on that mock up. Or their visual effects guys really did their homework on how to make it look real. Even down to the stickers and labels we put on stuff nowadays.

I wish when Tom Cruise walked into the diner and asked where he was, and the kid said "Earth", that Tom would have followed up with "what state?". Because the real SR-71 (which would have been ~3X times slower) would occasionally make late turns and miss entire west cost states.

This says LH Skunk works was heavily involved

The skunk logo was heavily featured in the beginning. They made it pretty clear that skunk works was involved.

Saw it this afternoon.

I was surprised how many olds were there. Gen X I expected, but there was a couple already seated on the row in front of us and I haven't been smacked that hard by Estee Lauder since my grandmother died in 1992. (If you know, you know)
Then another elderly couple came in and sat a few seats over from us.
Lastly, a three generation family- grandparents, middle age parents, and elementary age kids- took up almost a whole row.

I was working at a movie theater in 1986 when Top Gun came out. Needless to say, I saw it numerous times. This one was as good, but I won't see it as many times as I did the first one. I am open to a repeat viewing, which is more than I can say for most movies.

We did get the pre-show PSA.
