Hammer1-1 Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 Top Gun was horrible.

There I was in a Cinema, expecting to re-live one of my youth's all-time favorite Blue Thunder experience and got... that. Maybe I was just a bit older by then, but man, I loved Roy's - and hated Nic's performance with a vengeance. Admittedly, I probably only went to see Sean Young (who's ethereal appearance had haunted me since Blade Runner), and duly got served... with a Phil Collins song? Man, I hate that movie. And did I say I hate it? Because I do. Funny thing is, I still like Thunder. There's probably something wrong with me. Well, back to my Hind until we can FINALLY preorder the 64.

AlphaOneSix Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 I saw this movie in the theater on a Thursday the day before it came out. It was a special screening for 1st Battalion 3rd Aviation Regiment (my unit) and 2nd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment. My unit was an Apache battalion (AH-64A) but 2-1 Cav was a Cobra unit (AH-1F). A lot of the extras in the movie were from our two units and a lot of the filming was done in our hangar and around our flight line. 6
Focha Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Firebirds is an awesome movie, at the time I was young and free! Top Gun was also a great movie. Both cheesy, but that's the way it is! The last great aviation movie I saw lately was Les chevaliers du ciel. Great filmography. 1 ASUS N552VX | i7-6700HQ @ 2.59GHz | 16 GB DDR3 | NVIDIA GF GTX 950M 4 Gb | 250 Gb SSD | 1 Tb HD SATA II Backup | TIR4 | Microsoft S.

odrin Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 when he kept repeating he is the greatest, i broke my back from cringing so hard. how embarrassing it must be to witness them filming that. 1

Zeagle Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 I thought Blue Thunder was rather well made. Thankfully I never actually watched the whole Firebirds movie. The cringe factor was just too high. 2
