RaceFuel85 Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 I know you're going to tear me apart, but I think the only good thing about the movie was the soundtrack and the F-14. The plot was very shallow. Fighterpilots with claustrophobia and uncontrolled testosterone. Not even one of those guys would have made it into a fightercockpit in real life... :doh: I believe Iron Eagle 2 was the one with the plot of fighter pilots with claustrophobia... Top Gun dealt with pilots losing their edge/confidence when nearly getting shot down (Cougar) and guilt over losing their squad-mates/RIO (Maverick/Goose) causing an overblown ego to be utterly deflated and then brought back up to a rational level.

CheckGear Posted June 6, 2018 Author Posted June 6, 2018 Top Gun dealt with pilots losing their edge/confidence when nearly getting shot down (Cougar) and guilt over losing their squad-mates/RIO (Maverick/Goose) causing an overblown ego to be utterly deflated and then brought back up to a rational level. I actually thought Top Gun had a decent story, if not an excellent one. People who think it had no plot are probably shallow audiences anyway. Ultimately, it is a story about growing up and learning you can be hot stuff and still a team player. As long as Danger Zone isnt covered by Blake Shelton. Then for God's sake, don't give them any ideas!!! :lol: Though I hope to hear this song set to the soccer (as opposed to volleyball) scene in the next film:

RaceFuel85 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I read a post today,Val Kilmer is in . I'm very curious as to how...Val had throat surgery to deal with cancer a few years ago and as a result his voice is waaaay shot to hell
frixon28 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 14. The plot was very shallow. Fighterpilots with claustrophobia and uncontrolled testosterone. Not even one of those guys would have made it into a fightercockpit in real life... :doh: LOL uncontrolled testosterone, do you know many fighter pilots? Or any civilian pilots? Their as testosterone filled as it gets, especially in 1980's Cold War.
frixon28 Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 O yeah ! OT ; Les chevaliers Du Ciel had some really nice scenes Feel like if they had just let the scenes play out rather than a montage it would have been a lot better. IMO

CheckGear Posted June 8, 2018 Author Posted June 8, 2018 I read a post today,Val Kilmer is in . Val Kilmer had a good career going into the late-'90s, then dropped completely off the map. He looks absolutely awful these days. I hope he doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in the next film.
Tarabostes Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 I'm very curious as to how...Val had throat surgery to deal with cancer a few years ago and as a result his voice is waaaay shot to hell I cant be 100% positive i post it here to find out if anyone read about this
RaceFuel85 Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Yes, I read it in multiple other places as well. Apparently Val's voice has been improving, maybe he'll be filming his parts later to give himself more time?
CheckGear Posted June 10, 2018 Author Posted June 10, 2018 Tonight, I fulfilled a lifelong dream. I went out drinking and there was a jukebox at the bar. I played "Lead Me On" by Teena Marie, the song that was playing when Maverick and Goose entered the officer's club early in the film. I can't tell you how awesome it felt; it seemed like I was in the movie!!!
CheckGear Posted June 10, 2018 Author Posted June 10, 2018 Hopefully the bar was a target-rich environment :megalol: It was, but I'm socially autistic, so I was like all the other Naval Aviators and NFOs at the club and just sat at the bar, sipping my brew. :cry::drink:

Emmy Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 A reliable source tells me that so far, they're pretty much making it all up as they go along while writing huge checks to the Navy...

Mizzy Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 No doubt it will be officially as crap as the first one, what a crap movie that was. No doubt a platform for so and so propaganda rubbish to boot. Why can't they just let a crap movie die in respect of intelligent people ? Saving my popcorn for another day. Greetings Mizzy
Robert31178 Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Spoken like a troll Miz......no one hates Top Gun except maybe real life Navial Aviators and NFO's who've actually been there and resent a little how It's portrayed. "No doubt a platform for so and so propaganda rubbish to boot.".......uh, ok, care to explain this position?
