So, the comments are starting to repeat so I was wondering who holds a candle to the fabulous Jennifer Connolly?

+/- 5 years maybe?

I'm thinking Kate Beckensale.

JC or KB? Who ya got?

I mean... I think the winner is Halle Berry. I sometimes think she even looks better than she did when she was younger.

You guys are smoking crack. KB is probably the hottest woman her age on the planet. The only reason JC is a better choice for this movie is because KB beauty would so unrealistic that it'd be a distraction.

Ok, I'll take one for the team to end this debate. Both ladies can reach out to me and I'll do an evaluation and report back.

If you guys are interested in additional attractive older females, you need look no further than Liz Hurley's instagram.

What is the name of the music/tune/song/whatever that opens the movie before Danger Zone? It's like a bell ringing occasionally and it's so badass.

The one from the intro doesn't go into the guitar part. That version isn't on the soundtrack.
Yeah, here is the original intro. I think one of the best movie intros of all time. Better than this one, IMO.


If that doesn't make at least a tiny part of you want to be a fighter pilot (a naval aviator) then check your pulse.

I haven't seen it discussed, but I read today that Val Kilmer worked with an artificial intelligence company to recreate his voice. Supposedly they take hours of old recordings and have now created a program that Val can input parameters into and the computer speaks the words in his voice with the tone, volume, emphasis, etc. that's supposedly how he spoke in the scene. Pretty dang cool.

That was done for the recent Val Kilmer documentary, but my friend who worked on TG:M told me he's pretty sure they used screenwriter Chris McQuarrie's voice for the Iceman scene. That said, he could be wrong, and they could have *also* used the A.I. thing here, but I do know that the A.I. was specifically developed/used for the doc.
Both can be correct. Chris McQuarrie's could have actually spoken the words and AI could have used that audio to change it to Val's voice model data. Corridor Crew explain and demonstrate it very well here:

That movie p*ssed me off so much. He fast forwarded through sleeping with her. I would have gone normal, hit pause, take a nap, rewind and start over. But then the movie wouldn't be dramatic, i know.

I'm assuming that's not the first time Rooster has played/sung that song, in a bar, with that crew. Goose obviously played it for him, Rooster has likely been singing it ever since, as a way to remember/honor his dad, and I'm guessing it then became a "thing" when they were all in Top Gun together, before the "reunion"/mission in the movie. So they all probably know the words that way.
I loved that scene and didn't have any problem with it, but if we're going to nitpick it, then weren't they all different classes of Top Gun academy? I was under the impression that they all finished top of their class and were therefore, the best of the best, or something like that.

Wait a couple of months and there will be a Deep Fake you can add to your vast collection.

I got the impression that some of them were in the same class, or at least knew each other better than others.

Yeah, similar impression. I think some (Phoenix, Rooster, Hangman) were in the same class but some others were part of a different class but there was some crossover knowledge of each other by a couple of them.

The jet pilot community isnt the largest in the Navy, and there's a long training pipeline at just a handful of sites. Maybe they didn't line up with each other at Top Gun, but all roads lead through Pensacola and it wouldn't surprise me that they knew or at least knew of each other.

Yeah completely agree. It was clear a few of them were unfamiliar with others but they got the quick introduction/connection by the ones who did know most or all of them.

It is a small community and a lot of reputations are built and spread in that small community.

Agreed. I'd put JC, Hurley, and Selma Hayeck all above her easily. Need a little more curves than what KB brings to the table.
