Top Gun: Maverick – New Trailer
- Thread starter flip
- Start date
I'm still not sure that "Top Gun, but from the perspective of Tom Skerrit" is the best plot to hang a bunch of cool jet footage on, but hey, it's not like the original is remembered for its amazing plot and dialog, and it looks like the cool jet footage front is covered pretty damn well.
p.s.
Have they announced who are the bad guys in this film?
I hope it's the mighty Afghani air-force.

Hes in a Hypersonic plane @ the end of the trailer...
Maybe, Space Nazis? Or whatever the bad guys are in L.Ron's sci fi? Might just be a bombing run that has to be done Flight of the Intruder style?
Has to blow X up with cover from Y, and die at the end flying far too fast to take out the uh... UKRANIAN anti-matter bomb destined for middle america??
Top Gun is a Space Force recruitment propaganda is the only take I will now have about this movie.
My money is on north koreans who somehow have really modern jets
The thing about the mummy is that it was a flawed plan to try to kick off an entire universe in a single movie and the main film suffers from all the shoehorning. If you ignore that, it's actually not a bad movie with some fun set pieces and classic Cruise running from shit. I know the audioless version leaked and it was silly, but the actual final footage of the plane crash was really cool.
My realism bar for this movie is that unlike the first one, this time they ask someone if MiGs number their airplanes with even or odd numbers. Make it a trainer jet again if you must, but ffs, don't call it 28.
I am gonna die alone on that pedantic, stupid little hill.
I'm on that hill with you tbh. It was the most jarring thing from someone who is a aircraft fan.
Other then that however, totally in. Sign me right the fuck up.
Well, considering the amount of resources the Navy put into this film, I would imagine it will make the Transformers franchise seem like an antiwar-and-fuck-the-troops series.
Though personally, the only parts of the script I care about are the [jets dogfighting] stage directions.
Meh, all US warfare movies will suck the army's dick. As long as it's not too on the nose, I'll be ok with it.
I wouldn't expect Kilmer to have much more than a cameo given his health woes.
the crazy thing going into any cruise movie is knowing he probably did almost every damn stunt they show. Dude is a freak
Sign me up! I don't know or care whether its good or not.
(The first one isn't exactly Shakespeare either).
Some bar singing, some fast planes, some ignoring orders, and one fly by and Im a happy camper.

I don't even mind it all the much even when it super on the nose, like, I would come to the thread a bitch about that, but unless it's stuff like Zero Dark Thirty where the it's the entire point of the film, it's not something that make me not enjoy it.
Me, on the regular:
Me, after seeing that ultra realistic and totally how modern dogfight play out "I'll pull the brakes and he'll fly right by" manouver:
And I am only kinda joking.
So what do we think the story is?
maverick is a top secret test pilot in that aircraft at the end and he's showing off to Ed Harris who has come to recruit him to teach at Top Gun? Then he goes and meets the dudes who said it's orders and the flight school stuff happens then a final tense enemy engagement?
bonus content, Maverick may fight in the finale battle alongside the newly graduated pilots.
bonus: he's enlisted to help from secret test pilot by Ed Harris to train Top Gun after a pilot is lost through an enemy engagement (dog fighting) enemy with moves they've never seen before so to combat this draft in Maverick to train the pilots, he also fights alongside them again in the finale with mustang into the sunset ending.
film ends with him back on his ranch taking off in his mustang and pulling fancy moves off into the

I suspect the future jet will be at the start as well. No way the movie climax doesn't involve real jets doing real jets things.
Also, in the trailer can see an engine stall, a bar scene, a beach volleyball scene etc., so I'm guessing it will be mostly repeating the same beats as the first one, though obviously in this one, the old instructor will get to fly the jets and kill the bad dudes at the end.
FWIW, that maneuver may have been inspired by a real-life Vietnam war dogfight.Me, after seeing that ultra realistic and totally how modern dogfight play out "I'll pull the brakes and he'll fly right by" manouver:

Duke Cunningham's dogfight with MiGs over North Vietnam
definitely getting TFA rehash vibes from the trailer. definitely watching regardless. looks fucking amazing.
I have watched the commentary track on top gun as well.
I stand by what I posted :).
p.s.
The last thing anyone should want in that film is realistic air combat. That will boring as fuck.
The framing and angles in some of those scenes look inspired. I'm in.
Boys gonna be boys. God, I hope they ham it up.
Well I tried
Boys gonna be boys. God, I hope they ham it up.
Looks just like himAlso, Ill take it Miles is playing the son of Goose because that was what I yelled when he appeared.
It's young Anthony Edwards
There's something about watching fighter jets perform aerial maneuvers to a film score that just gives me chills.
I really don't have THAT much interest in this film. But.... I'll probably still go see it.
I mean.... it has cool planes in it! Who doesn't like watching planes fly around???

Yeah, there's a fight/argument between him and Cruise at 1:43, so I'm guessing he's blaming Maverick for the death of his father in that scene.
I really liked Oblivion. Wonder who Kosinski got to do the score this time.
