RIPTIDE Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Oh I have been around aviation in one way or another for 20 plus years so I have an idea of what I speak. :P So how close to the Bush Plane airstrip do you live? :lol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

vrv Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 20 years? Good for you but that doesn't make you the definitive end all, The Tomcat wasn't a flop. It was a huge leap up from the F-4 but obviously the USN doesn't know as much you. As for the movie as long as they show somewhat realistic flight scenes I'll enjoy it.

nscode Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 It will be F-18 vs MiG-34 :D Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.

Jinro Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 What was wrong with Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag? Let's see. Bad narration. Bad camera work (I couldn't tell whether the main pilot was flying in an F15C or an F15E, I couldn't make out which squadron he was from because they were constantly bouncing back and forth among shots of different F15Cs and F15Es, and for all I know the guy could have been in the back seat of an F15E and not a pilot at all) and the Hollywood special effects on the A-10 run just ruined everything. Oh, and I'm pretty sure that Nevada isn't that green.
vanir Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 If Tom Cruise is doing a cameo then it's likely to be with the superbug. I'd say the only new direction they could take it in that case is concentrating more on operational missions, the battleground probably set in a fictional African republic for political correctness although the parallels with middle eastern/central asiatic activities will be clear, as typical heavily biased with Americentric themes and an "America is the World" troop morale speech. There'll probably be a Falklands style scene thrown in where a screening frigate is hit by an anti-shipping missile probably bought from the Ukrainians, which'll be a parallel with modern concerns about Iran. What would be far more interesting but unlikely is if Top Gun 2 was set on the Admiral Kuznetsov. This kind of balanced and inclusive device would be much too much of a shock to the American mind however I should think and would be far more likely of European filmakers. Considering Valkyrie was a very American film done simply in German uniforms with pasty two-dimensional characters, lacking any of the genuine development or humanity you see in something like the European films Downfall or the Black Book, I'm not expecting very much at all from McQuarrie but another hollywood stars and stripes masturbation banking on a two week box office profit margin. Depending on McQuarrie and Bruckheimer's political leanings, the screenplay will either serve to support a withdrawl from Iraq, or inflame animosity towards Iran.
nscode Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Actually, SR-71 that shoots missiles would fit more in a movie today. That thing looks more 21st century than any bug, bolt, or bird of pray :D Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.

Steel Jaw Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Actually the producers and director of TG knew they were creating fiction but made the concessions to Hollywood viewer accessibility...blah blah blah.

No more of a shock than Letters from Iwo Jima. Now that was a good movie.
