Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

The sincere look on his face during the “EJECT, EJECT!” command is what makes this man one of the greatest and most dedicated actors ever.

This scene is a reality check, even in training you could get someone dead

My heart almost stopped during the birdstrike scene....

Loved Pete Mitchell’s performance as Tom Cruise. Absolutely brilliant acting!

I love the detail the Phoenix didn't eject until she was sure Bob was out the plane, it shows she wanted to make sure her crewman was safe before herself

Despite the failure to recover the craft engines, Phoenix was leveled headed & tried all solution prompts. Very nice, she cool.

That bird did more damage to the F-18 than the three Su-57's did to Maverick's F-14.

The most dangerous enemy in the movie: bird

This scene is unbelievably good. The build-up as Cayote wakes up gives you chills, and just when you thought everything was good, the worst part comes. Absolutely love it.

The pilot got G-LOC (G force loss of consciousness). The smart play was what Maverick did, namely get enough noise working in his headset to get him conscious in enough time so he can pull up. A missile alert/lock will be about the most noise you can generate, save for a master caution warning going off.

This was a really good movie. And by today’s standards, it was great.

This movie was incredibly gratifying. Better than the original. What they did with his character and the plot were really unexpected and amazing. Everyone should go see this while it's still in theaters. Top Gun: Maverick is a masterpiece.

I was kinda laughing at bird strike after g-loc, like they were just tossing in as much as they could. It's an awesome movie, saw it 5x in theaters

3 minutes that will put you on edge of your seat more than any other movie out there.

Not trying to bust balls here, but Maverick had nothing to do with him "fainting" . It was gravity's fault.

Phoenix is the greatest portrayal of decision making in an emergency. We need more like her in the United States

The part where the bird hit the F/A-18 sorta made me laugh. Just the fact two things went wrong that fast was crazy.

When I saw this in D.Box theater it was crazy how the chairs vibrates and it moves with the jets makes it more intense

Hands down. The BEST film of 2022.

A great performance by Jay Ellis (Coyote), Monica Barbaro (Phoenix) and Tom Cruise (Mav.) in this scene and in a Top Gun 2 - Maverick. A very realistic, persuasive portrayal of the aviators, of the serious troubles they can experience. Top Gun sequel is amazing movie, better than the original although late Tony Scott did fantastic job as a director back in 1986. A glory to him and to producers, actors, to all the movie creators.

Pretty clever to use missile lock in order to make beeping sounds in the passed out pilots cockpit.

His name is not “Tom Cruise” lol it’s Maverick

Putting the movie aside, just the thought of Tom Cruise screaming at the top of his lungs "COYOTE!!!" is pretty funny lol.

While this movie doesn’t get a perfect score in the realism department, they really did make so much more of an effort than most movies would. I noticed that a lot in the little details. For instance, Phoenix’s crash is a quick part of the movie, but her responses are dead on and exactly what a pilot with her training would do…well, except for sending power and more fuel to the right engine that she apparently didn’t realize was also burning. Up until that though, she went for altitude (the higher up you are, the more time to deal with that engine failure and more room to eject), throttled back and cut fuel flow to the burning engine, then extinguished the fire. Minor details that don’t really affect the overall course of the movie, but it’s the kind of thing that people familiar with these aircraft and aviation will notice. It all adds up to make the movie feel much more authentic than most, even if it’s not perfect. I strongly suspect that the driving force behind almost all of that attention to detail is Tom Cruise, an exceptional pilot himself from what I’ve read. I think we would have gotten a totally different movie, if we’d ever gotten it all, without that guy.

Phoenix did everything right before punching out.

This is the pinnacle of movie making for an action film. Aside from in the incredible intense cinematography of filming high performance fighter jets, it is the facial features produced by the actors and actress in this scene. Just by the look, the eyes, you can see the inner emotions, the tension, the relief all in the just the eyes

The lack of Danger zone in these clips makes me sad.

Had to see this twice on the big screen!

Who would win: A highly sophisticated military jet plane that costs millions VS a flock of birds

Pete Mitchell when he was 24 being this hot shot who only cares about being no 1 but him at 60 who cares about people around him. Love his character arc.

Everybody gangster until nature flips you the bird back

The most intense scene, along with the mountain top missile battle, Mav and Rooster stealing an F-14, and the final dogfight. Love this movie.

*Moral of the movie:* Bird is the word

The fact that they had 2 moments with coyote and phoenix/Bob back to back really put me on edge

Coyote: *goes to G-LOC* Me: panik Coyote: *regains consciousness* Me: kalm Phoenix: *loses an engine from bird strike* Me: PANIK

Tom Cruise didn't make him faint, the pilot made himself faint. That was his choice to faint.

Fun Fact: Coyote's actor got to work with Tom Cruise again in a small supporting role in Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1.

I know this scene had me screaming everytime I've seen it so far

Bob is probably the most realistic actor here.......

They should have had him coming go back to consciousness doing the “funky chicken” as pilots call it.

Seeing them making high G maneuver make me also hold my breath

🐦 🦃 🦉: Damn we almost had them!

While going down, Bob and Phoenix are lucky they didn't punch out straight into the ground or at a bad angle and not have enough altitude for the parachute to open.

Having the bird strike is so accurate. This is by far the most common problem in aviation.

"sh*t it's Maverick" O man, that reminds me of: "Holy sh*t it's Viper"

F 18s have an automatic "level wings" feature built into the software for this exact problem. The plane wouldn't let itself crash in this scenario.

Damn maverick had to take care of these guys

Top gun : Maverick = Top Gun : Right Stuff.

Maverick being the Yoda of Top Gun

He certainly does know how to make a movie. I wonder what ex fighter pilots think.

Murphys law hit hard

It's not that long to fall asleep when in G lock, sometimes it will only took 5 seconds until you regain consciousness.

2:30 "No animal was harmed in the making of this film." 😏🤣

Very tense three minutes 😬 I'm glad pilot woke up and the other two ejected 😰👍🥶👍

The fact they added a scene where there is a birdstrike, which can is a real situation for airplanes

Damn that Tom Cruise is so reckless.

You and your class running 4 laps around a soccer field be like:

I am sorry for the Top Gun Jet handles...they r the real heroes 😵‍💫

That certainly was intense..

2:02 For those looking for the 'pull up' section.

su57: failed to beat f18 some bird: hold my beer

@3:10 Maverick is being a typical pilot talking normal under heavy G

He kept saying Jose Jose Jose and I was like what I was like oh shit

Birds, the true rival of the F-18! 😅

plot twist: the bird strike actually happened during filming

When this kid passed out, he actually passed out in the film and the Director, kept it in

Phoenix scene was about Maverick wishing he would've just punched out with goose 🦆 than trying to save the plane

"I'm going after him..." XD Wtf are a you gonna do, wake him up with a missle? :D

I was biting my nails at this scene.

maverick almost lost 3 pilots

All that technology b birds 🐦 😂

That was jorge why I always driving is still beyond me

Trust me, the gravitational force is extremely powerful...

This scene reminded me of something for some reason phil recover phil recover!

2:11 2:32 1:51 1:52

If the Department of Defense is reading, I have a solution to the issue of birds getting caught in the engines and causing mechanical problems: on each wing and on the nose attach ten foot poles parallel to the body of the plane. At the end of the poles, affix harnesses and put a cat in each harness. The cat will catch the birds and prevent them from hitting the engine blades. You're welcome.

Guys. change the title No.1 Tom Cruise is the ACTOR, the character's name is Maverick (Pete Mitchell) No.2, Maverick didn't make Coyote faint, it was G-LOC or the lack of oxygenated blood to the brain because of the fact he was pulling so hard No.3 That bird strike scene was REALLY GOOD in terms of cinematography, but I'm not sure a bird strike could knock out both engines and the hydraulic systems, sure the fire itself could have spread to the hydraulic pipes but....erm. (If there are any pilots please correct me)

Coyote almost did a Cougar: as in he couldn't have known his reaction to a situation and had the pants scared off him. Thankfully it didn't rattle him to the point of turning in his wings, but geez, no one would blame him just like no one could blame Cougar, who was more scared of orphaning his son then dying. And Pheonix and Bob were just about in the same situation as Maverick and Goose were when their F-14 flat-spined with the loss of two engines and unable to maintain any control. Luckily technology had improved to the point the canopy wasn't in any danger of hitting them when they ejected.

2:52, the Eng Crank switch is sooo rusty (and dusty)

Přetížení kopitu je někdy 3 až 4 G může se stát že pilot na 30 sekund omdlí ▪️✨

Finally they’re using the proper term for an enemy aircraft. In the first one they kept calling hostile crafts bogeys

if coyote g locked here he wouldve been kicked off the mission immediately. You cant have any chance of someone g locking on a mission like this

Just a movie folks. But the best of the year in my opinion.

Purchased Top Gun yesterday but haven't watched yet

I think when she tried to restart the engine it made it worse...

"......f++kin sparrows" -Sully

When I saw the trailers, I thought of Phoenix's plane were on a jet wash. So it was a bird strike after all.

Shout out to the AMEs...

F16’s jet was like… “fuck autopilot” im going down with coyote… hahhahaha.

2:11

Me: Wow. You know for a second there I really thought someone was going to... Maverick: Bird strike! BIRD STRIKE!!

** Movie of the Year ** .

Wouldn't both seats fire if one of the ejection handles was pulled, or is it not built like that?

damn this movie is so good

This was one of my only gripes. This movie was wonderful but they did the ol disappeared behind the mountain and pop up like you're going to be surprised or something...haha. how long ago did this get old? Hahaha

good job! i bet you are great at making s! good luck

that bird strike is crazy, im an f 18 super hornet pilot and i have been watching top gun because im curious

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the F/A-18s have a feature where the plane auto levels if there is no input from the pilot. I thought this was specifically for G-LOC?

Coyote has no business being in a military fighter jet passing out like that.
