It wouldn’t have been a failure if the ejection handles worked correctly and it’s not really a failure if they both survived thanks to Hangman

@@mylescornelius7507 in their rush to steal the F-14, they probably forgot to arm the ejection seat; either that, given its age, it might not have been in working order.

@@mylescornelius7507we assume the ejection system failed but… at no point do you see either rooster or mav pull the ejection safety pins. They pull everything else, but, if the safety pins are still in, that seat isn’t launching! The assumption is a continuity type error, but in reality, Rooster did bloody amazing starting and pulling pins on a jet he’s not familiar with. The oversight aided the drama.

He never thought of ejecting either, stood and willing to die with his best friend's son.

In a way this entire movie is about “Goose.” His son appeals to him, “Maverick” is still trying to protect his best friend’s son, the “Iceman” tells him to let go of “Goose”, even Meg Ryan’s extracted promise from Maverick is there. It’s only when “Rooster” let’s go of his father does he begin to grow. And that is what made the mission a success. Though he is dead, “Goose” was there the entire time.

This is the best movie for this year

best movie cause it brings back what American spirit was about in the 85 original top gun family , friends and most important camaraderie ! All for one and one for all ... Now its just me , myself and I internet stars .. Look at me Look at me ..... oh sorry whats your name ahh its me your brother Steve welcome to the new Red , White and Blindeness bullshit generation !

Of all time for me 😁

I agree, the ending was quite emotional. When Maverick got hit I thought that it was it... some kind of redemption for Maverick. Then again... in the last scene where Rooster could not eject I also thought that it will be the end for them. In the moment when the "bad guy" pressed the button and the missle jumped out of the plane - for a second I thought that "that's it for them". And then Hangman saved them. There aren't many movies that gave me this kind of emotional rollercoster. ; )

Wrong it’s THE BEST

He has a couple of DSMs, according to what Adm Cain mentioned

That’s one thing I thought they could have added, a cool medal ceremony where they give out some DFCs, Navy Crosses and of course a MoH!

In no uncertain terms, the act of taking a SAM for your wingman is the very definition of a CMOH. Too bad we were denied the scene in which Cyclone chokes himself over signing the citation, while placing Maverick's 1st star on his shoulders.

Like 20 of'em

Don't forget that for his bomb drop alone without lasing the target & taking it out, Rooster deserves a Navy Cross - and for the entire flight into the area AND fighting through that SAM barrage, every pilot there deserves a DFC. Oh, yeah - Rooster also got a kill on that enemy gunship.

Well what goose was really mad about was that Mav pulled is papers and held him back because gooses mother asked him too. Not just because of his dad

Eh well, not much of a genius no matter how skilled the pilot is an f14 tomcat defeating a 5fth gen fighter? chances are pretty low or should I say there is no chance at all

@@curiosity4234 good realism =/= good script

No it wasn't... its the most retarded Fast and the Furious type of plot EVER.

Well whatever the writer thinks

@@curiosity4234 I kind of disagree. During the Vietnam War, for a while the KD of American pilots wasn't really great even though they were using far superior aircraft. It really is pilot skill at the end of the day imo.

@@MrRidikolus not true at all ---- true 5th gen jets can make that move --- you have to realize the F-14 was using an older AIM - 9 missile ---- even back then they were easy to evade --- especially with them being that close ---- people who fly 5th gen jets practice that move for a reason

channeling? It's a quote from the first movie.

But it's just a movie... None of them are real people. Very entertaining though.

@@brandonmoore8998 The older AIM9 in question is either a L or M they aren't exactly bad either and looking at the missiles distance from the jet it looks like it still should have proxied unless for some reason it was a dud which is totally possible

@@brandonmoore8998 😵 really? 😯😯😯 Surely if you went that slow, you'd be shot down by someone else. I guess it's situational. 🤔

What was really discouraging for Maverick is that, after all he'd done; after making a super human effort; after getting so close, yet so far; it looked like they were going to buy it.

Fuckin love this movie

Yea, that feeling definitely suck

That was my take on it as well. Maveric is usually cool, confident and collected, but at that moment Maveric thought he let his friend down.

I had a lump in my throat, seeing that Rooster and Mav were going to die. Knowing he did everything he can to keep his friend's son alive, but failed.

Dude it’s a movie. They are acting. Live in reality.

@@riccardorinaldo7934 Screw reality. It sucks. Don't be a wet blanket.

@@lulabelle82 I dunno

@@justalpha9138 those are 🌈 compared to this. It didn't take 14 yo level played out superhero movies to have a success. Everyone is tired of that crap. This was refreshing to see.

The director of the movie used this because in reality it would not have happened, or do you really believe that idiots are sitting on the fifth generation plane? The film is designed for stupid children, and this is not surprising.😂

@@user-ru5kn4mj5t Maverick is Batman in a plane, while the 5th Gen pilots are all random NPC's

You mean the whole world?

Sama haha. This movie is unreal, never experienced anything like I did when I watched this movie. What cinema was made for.

Same here!!!

“goosebumps” I saw what you did!

> not rooster bumps?

Does anyone know which country the enemy in this movie is supposed to represent. I thought Iran at first, cause they still fly F14s. But Iran doesn't have Su57s, so is the enemy Russia? Either way, great movie, despite the ambiguous enemy being the only silly aspect of this movie.

ever

Same.

Agreed - this is definitely going to be added to my “favorite movies ever” list. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been able to add a movie to that list!

What, following tight river bends at top speed. Another hollywood BS film.

@@chippyjohn1 Nostalgia done right at a time when the public wanted it the most.

It did. I don't know what I was expecting (went in cold), but this was fantastic.

@@chippyjohn1 if you look at the effort they made to make this as real as possible you'd appreciate this movie.

It honestly did. Especially for those of us who grew up on the original

It won't win an Oscar, it can't. If it did it would show that everything that Hollywierd has come to stand for is a lie and that the proponents of that lie are as useless as teats on a boar hog...

I'm with you man...I said wtf was that. 5 seconds later rooster says it. Was hilarious. By far the coolest maneuver I've seen a plane do

Honestly, I think it's because Maverick is Rooster's godfather and he just wanted what was best for him. Rooster realized just how much Mav cares about him and him getting selected as wingman caused him to see the light and realize just how important he is to him. I am convinced that Rooster's relationship with his wingman improved when he wanted to speak with Mav as well as when he wailed for him, thinking he just saw his comrade die.

I like in this scene that it is realistic. Those 5th generation russian fighters really do fly like that - I saw it on the air show, and you can find it on youtube...

Can we be friends

Went full matrix mode on that missle haha

@@pecorange8257 "Realistic" isn't exactly the word that springs to my mind. "Cobras" and other such high alpha moves look impressive and exciting at airshows (and movies, naturally), but ever since 1986 when the _first_ Top Gun came out, the real -pilots- (excuse me) *_Naval Aviators_* have been on hand to explain how "Hit the brakes, he'll fly right by!" only gets you shot down faster.

@@pecorange8257 4th gen SUs and 5th gen fighters can do such maneuvers, but the missile would explode at the point of the closest proximity, so it's not realistic in that sense. Looks dope though

The way he managed to convey his regret at getting Rooster killed with just his eyes was amazing.

Absolutely! Already a Guinness record holder for shooting down two Su57! Wow! my goodness!

@@B501R Maybe Su27 would be the only " Old " jet who could have even a slightest chance in this dogfight . Tomcat is not capable of maneuvers....Sorry , but this is only a dumfuk movie :)

@@user-bu5fg6rz9x exactly! A dumfuk movie indeed!

@@user-bu5fg6rz9x OOOO butt hurt Russian alarm going off again. We know it's a movie because it showed two flying Su-57s when in reality they would be broken down on a run way somewhere.

Mav's doing his *thrust vectoring pilot shh it* with the F-14 is bad assery...

Bad ass except for the fact it was a sitting duck if Maverick simply switched to guns......... obviously plot, but ......

@@beyerch you have to consider the element of suprise.

You HAVE to see this movie

You watched the climactic scene on UKposts BEFORE you saw the movie?

Nobody asked for? Are you sure?

@@abhishekbanerjee7686 people did asked for it, but i think people kinda gave up after Tony Scott's suicide, it was quite a surprise when it was announced they're continuing the sequel long after the original movie

its called a kvochur bell

I haven’t seen the new one yet but was 13 when the original Top Gun came out.

Yeah, it's always a little scary when they talk about a legacy sequel. You never know what you are going to get. We waited 36 years for Top Gun 2, and it was worth every one!

Frankly, I think it's better.

@@E3ECO Agreed, this was much better, but also needed the "Goose factor" of the first to be as good as it is. Maverick's motivations were better in this. In the first, he was a hot shot, horn dog who follows Kelly McGillis into the restroom. In this movie, he is protecting Goose's son, as well as the other pilots. The commander is pushing for more of a suicide mission, whereas Maverick is devising a way to get everyone out alive. Even the beginning shows him reaching Mach 10, so he can save everyone's job at the Dark Star base. Once that was accomplished, he got selfish by hitting Mach 10.4. He's still Maverick, after all.

This part could have been avoided if Mav had not picked Rooster for the mission. You have to feel for Hangman, he was way more skilled than the rest of the pilots but he was kept as a backup just because Mav was afraid of Pissing off Rooster further.

and got pile ass bombed

I saw this movie on the D-BOX seats in theaters and it was amazing feeling the movements from the movie. Especially when the planes were launched out from the carrier.

That's the mark of a great movie.

Lol I saw it in theaters 4 times

Same though, I will always turn into a blubbering mess at this film 😭😭😭

Hollywood made this.

They should take notes in a movie they made? What?

This was literally Hollywood

@@donteventryit007 Pssst! This is Hollywood.

My goodness erase this idiocy

LOL!

Yep extremely well done presentation of just how insanely intense of a moment this is and how precise these pilots all have to be under the worst of pressure.

@@thegatewaytoprestige I kinda ruined the whole SAM evasion sequence for myself - I didn't _want_ to fall into the whole "that wouldn't happen in real war!" trap (honestly, I didn't), but I couldn't help wondering to myself, "All those Tomahawks zipping around the sky and they couldn't spare a few of them to smash the SAM sites?" We see the movie Tomahawks being fired off from the forward vertical launch cells of a Ticonderoga guided missile cruiser - A Ticonderoga has a whole other set of those launch cells at the back end of the boat and, The Navy had apparently tasked *_two_* of those things to the mission. That's already _four times_ as many potential cruise missiles available for blowing up any and all dangerous, bad guy stuff which might pose a threat to our plucky heroes, and that's without even including the Arleigh Burke guided missile destroyer *_OR_* the Seawolf nuclear attack submarine which were also got brought along. That's a heck of a lot of Tomahawks which might have otherwise come in handy for blowing up all those pesky SAMs ... Just saying ... We can't go pretending like there's no such thing as a jamming pod either. There's a whole other variant of the Super Hornet (the EA-18G) which is purposely *_designed_* to carry those jamming pods and screw with any hostile electronics which might threaten a mission ... I know, _I know,_ that the whole Top Gun Movie Universe exists in some weird parallel world that is constantly moving back and forth between super-hyper-mega-authentic-and-realistic and Hollywood-WTF-?! and that half the fun is in spotting all the WTFs, but I just couldn't keep up the suspension of disbelief through the 'Mission' part. Too many "Huh?" or "Whut?" or "Uh-Uh" or "Nope" moments. In my defence, I was right back in it the very _second_ I figured out they were gonna steal an F-14 - That had me bouncing up and down in my seat, clapping my hands in euphoric, juvenile joy and annoying the hell out of everyone else in the theatre that hadn't caught on yet. My boss was in the seat next to me, and by the time they got to the hanger and started the Tomcat up, I had him a headlock, hissing "ThisIsSOFCKN COOL!!!" right into his ear.

@@stickiedmin6508 Would the GPS jamming that blankets the valley prevent them from effectively targeting the SAMS?

@@LucianDevine Tomahawks don't require GPS guidance. GPS tends to be the common option 'cos it's so convenient, but a Tomahawk has all kinds of ways to find its target. If however, the bad guys had managed to somehow make the canyon cruise missile proof, one wonders why they didn't bother extending that same protection to their airbase? If nothing else, a huge volley of cruise missiles could have easily been used to 'bait' the SAM batteries into trying to shoot _them_ down, leaving a clearer path for the low altitude strike planes. The "Mission" as it plays out is undeniably exciting and tense, but it's massively contrived and unrealistic. There's not a military force in the entire world that would risk four hugely expensive fighters and their even more expensive crew (let alone, the 'Best Of The Best) on a dangerous mission when they could throw a couple of hundred expendable cruise missiles at the problem first. Weirdly contrived and unrealistic scenarios are what we love Top Gun for though, right?

@@stickiedmin6508 Maybe they were concerned that debris from the explosions might land on or near the target, making it harder to spot, target, or give just enough protection to foil the mission.? In a mission with so many moving parts, they maybe wanted to keep the unknown variables to a minimum?

Hello can we be friends

I loved this movie. It was a lot of fun. But let's not lie to ourselves that this movie didn't force any agendas. It's propaganda for the US military and serves as an excellent recruitment tool for our military by inspiring patriotism in the minds of the children that see it. People only get upset when it's not THEIR politics that are being pushed in film and entertainment.

@@sleeplessknight99 Honestly, I wasn’t even thinking about the military aspect. However, I see your point. Also, I read that the O.G. TP led to a 500% increase in naval recruiting.

I also appreciated the fact that this movie was nothing like Star Wars. My favorite parts were when they fly the trench run and bulls eye the tiny exhaust port destroying the enemy's weapon of mass destruction and just about when you think the heroes are going to bite the dust, Han Solo swoops in at the last minute, takes out the last bad guy, and saves the main characters.

Smile, thanks for your love and support towards me 🌹

old simple technology vs new complicated tech

If you see some breakdowns videos you will understand that Gen 5 warcrafts are able to do such maneuvers: Realistic though

I actually intended to see Dr. Strange with my sibling and a family friend. We decided on TGM instead. So glad we did. Never have I ever, laughed, cried, and clapped at a movie before. I have seen it three times and want to see it a fourth time. It was worth crying like a baby, laughing like a caffeinated hyena, and clapping like an ecstatic seal at. Never saw the prequel, and I fell in love with this movie more than any other I have seen previously.

Amazing at being junk
