I loved this movie as a kid. I still have a raging boner for F-14's. It's still the coolest fucking bird the navy has flown. This movie brings back pure nostalgia of playing aces of the pacific on ms dos and playing with TMNT action figures.

Drone bullshit doesn't interest me at all. I remember when Art Scholl died filming the show. Entered an inverted flat spin in a Pitts with a camera on board and never recovered.

So many edgelords acting like they were too cool to enjoy this movie in the 80s. I bet you hated the real Karate Kid, too

That aside, I'm sure this will suck balls like every other remake.

No doubt this will be awesome. Tom Cruise, The Mummy aside makes some bad ass movies. Love that guy

Not exactly a remake when it's Tom Cruise rocking the full bird rank. He sucks at making rank though if he only got to O-6 in 32 years.

If I ever want to watch F14 dog fighting, I watch Final Countdown. (Love the one move the pilot does in this, I swear, every time I watch it I think the fucker is going to crash.)



Also like the commentary behind this scene, with how the F14's had to fly at nearly stall speeds just to stay in frame with the Zero mock ups (Which I don't think were real zeros, but still.)

i grew up in the 80s and i never "got" this movie. i saw it once with my girlfriend who hounded me to rent it when it first came on video, by the middle of it she had fallen asleep. i like tom cruise movies, but his 80s movies werent so hot. cocktail was shit. color of money was boring as fuck. Legend was boring too. i dont think i ever saw "all the right moves or Losin it, but heard they sucked too. on the plus side. Risky Business and Rain Man are badass movies which i own on video. and cruise was good in Taps and The Outsiders

It's perfectly fine to think Legend was shit. Crapping on Color of Money though...

Wait it's fucking Chuk. Nevermind.

Jesus didn't realize this shit got necro'd that hard. Maybe I just think too highly of Paul Newman. Color of Money was great.
Color of Money is great. Its a great sequel too.

They are instructors, the movie is about Ice & Maverick's adopted daughter.
I could see them going with a young female lead who, with little training or effort, goes on to win the Top Gun trophy and becomes the greatest pilot in naval aviation history. I wonder if Daisy Ridley is available to play the role?

For those of you who don't remember, "Top Gun" was the movie about a bunch of guys who stand around high-fiving each other for about 90 minutes. The movie focuses on some loser named "Maverick" who penetrates deep into the coveted veil of the top gun academy of smug, sexually frustrated aviators. I know many of you reading this will probably think I'm exaggerating when I say this (since I exaggerate everything, except for my manliness which is enviable), but there were no fewer than 500 shower scenes in this movie. The wardrobe for this film must have consisted of a towel, a jump suit, and 50 pages of gay innuendo, because the rest of the time Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer were walking around naked eyeing each other's packages.

Then as if the director didn't think all the high-fiving and shower scenes were suggestive enough, there was a gratuitous scene in which all the guys got oiled up and played volleyball. Every few minutes I half-expected to see Cruise and Kilmer lock lips to a ballad of "It's Raining Men:"

If you remember having good memories of this movie, then it was probably because you were too young to know what was going on, or an idiot. Don't bother resurrecting this classic to prove I'm right.
