This is still the best legacy sequel i've ever seen
Fun Fact: Most of the plane shots are all real and the cast trained with a pilot to fly in real planes
If by "the plane shots are all real" you mean "there were two or more shots of real planes flying apart from each other at a safe distance and then digitally they were composited together to look like they were close to each other" then... yes. But if you're trying to say the risk-adverse Navy allowed multiple $50+ million dollar planes, multiple highly skilled pilots and passenger Tom Cruise to break every safety regulation in the book in order to make a movie then... no.
Actually yes they did if you watch the BT’s , you’ll see they put cameras in the plane for them to get the shots . They have to train like navy for the films
@@olaoluwaist Yes. The actors were in the back seats of real planes, but take for example the shot of Maverick zooming between the two student planes on day one of dog fighting school. They were not dozens or even a hundred feet apart. They were hundreds of feet apart, shot separately and then they were digitally composited to make it look like he zoomed between them.
These shots are as "real" as Dumbledor's fight with Voldemort. Both scenes used real cameras and actors and the same amount of post-production VFX work.
@@KBTibbs You are correct. We have lots of evidence from fighter pilots who know the fighter pilots flying for the filming, as well as from the people actually doing the CGI for this movie. There are many shots of real planes, of the actors inside real planes included in the movie, but most of it is CGI and even the real shots are mostly CGI'd.
Anyone wanting more info the CZcams channel of C.W. Lemoine, a fighter pilot with the callsign "Mover" has made many videos with lots of info on both Top Gun movies. He just did a video 3 days ago about the behind the scenes of the original Top Gun together with many pilots who flew for that movie!
@@KBTibbs While that’s kinda true, it’s also false. They didn’t splice separate footage of planes together, they actually did do a lot of ACM stunts with the cameras and a chase plane. They actually did rolling scissors with super hornets for one scene
"How're they all ripped? They're pilots." Exactly. They're pilots. You have to be in excellent shape to endure constant g-forces and still be able to perform. As for the birds, they are super dangerous especially around airports that are close to water. They are a form of FOD, foreign object damage/debris, and they can cause serious damage at speeds, plus one in the engine intake causes the accident you witnessed.
Biggest bird I've seen ingested was a pelican. Fortunately most of it ended up in the nose wheel well, which is a smell you don't get to forget.
@@jaredragland4707 Yup, I lost an engine to a seagull on take off. Instant fried chicken smell.
Actually there is a big difference between being ripped and being fit, i have known people who actually served in the US air force, one of them was texas national guard and while both of them were fit, they didn't look ripped. Because u don't need to be ripped or have an 8 pack to be fit
It's the exact same for Formula 1 drivers they got thickass necks to withstand up to 6Gs, now think about a Fighter Pilot needing to withstand over 8 or 9 times the force of gravity without g locking yourself.
Not all pilots are ripped 😂 in fact most of them dont have abs, there's a huge difference between rip and fit. Iron man is fit but hes not ripped like thor or captain america
I only realized later that Maverick's solo run was even more impressive, he did it without the second plane painting a laser target. He had no targeting computer, just the Force.
The Force is strong with Maverick. And unlike some Jedi he doesn't try to murder his own students. 🤣
As does Rooster in the actual mission in the closing acts..
He had a targeting pod on his port side
He did have one he just had to line it up while also maintaining the correct pitch by himself
He did have a tpod, note the little grey screen
In this movie, It was Val Kilmer's idea to bring back Ice but he also wanted to incorporate his Throat Cancer (he had it) on the character, so you see him typing the words out but then tries to speak... Also, the hug is real, it isn't scripted or rehersed.
Oh, yeah, this isn't CGI, they had cameras on the cockpits of the jets as they're flying.
Do you know why Top Gun Maverick is nominated for best VFX at the oscars? Yes the flying is real, but there's a lot of CGI. They didn't fly under the bridges, the cobra dive isn't real, neither is the splitting of the pair during the the first training excercise, everything in the F14 is CGI as there are no flying F14's left in the world except for a few in Iran ... It's just a movie that does practical with VFX like it should be done.
The exterior shots of the planes are 100% CGI
@@chrisastin184 not all of them
@@renegato0789 Most of them are CGI. They had massive amounts of CGI in this movie. But yes, many of the in-plane shots are real.
CZcamsr C.W. Lemoine, who is an actual fighter pilot has spoken to pilots in the movie and people who did CGI for the movie. You'll find lots of info on the background of the movie, and analysis from fighter pilots on his channel. Three days ago he even released a video where he had many fighter pilots who flew for the original Top Gun movie on as guests.
@@renegato0789 When ever you see two planes in a shot one of them is 100% cgi
That opening scene where the MA guard shack roof is blown off was done by a F/A-18. That actually was not something they had planned to have happen.
That's the base I grew up on. Shack and other things are still in shambles from the big quake from a few years back.
Also, actually Ed Harris.
Ed Harris tanked the wake of a Superbug without blinking.
That's a steely eyed missile man for ya.
@@jocax188723 He played his role as a navy admiral expertly. Flag / General officers don't flinch or blink in moments that would send most people to the ground covering their heads.
With the amount of time it takes to reach flag officer rank (20+ years) they have pretty much seen and done it all.
@@jocax188723 he was wearing shades man
Angelina you would have to be a big Top Gun fan to know Penny 😉 In Top Gun when the Squadron commander is chewing out Maverick and Goose before sending them to Top Gun he mentioned the flyovers and one Admirals daughter and Goose says Penny Benjamin. Then in the diner Carol (Meg Ryan) mentioned Penny Benjamin the admiral daughter.
Angelina Is going the Danger Zone
Also, the only place they give her last name (in Maverick) is in the end credits.
@@pigs18 Never noticed that detail.
you would also know that Jennifer connelly was 16 in 1986 so it would be illegal
@@pigs18 Carol said Penny Benjamin and so did Goose
Seldom has a line in a movie nailed home the severity of the situation more than "One that their family will accept at the funeral."
also Jon Hamm's voice breaking in that line @ 21:30 is everything
Hell yeah. On both, hell yeah.
The... things we do.
Also, "Don't tell me. Tell his family."
RIP, Tom Sizemore, 1961-2023. Passed from a brain aneurysm on Friday March 3. He was 61 years old.
This was extremely well suited for the cinema. Anyone who didnt watch it there missed out. This is one of the top movies ever id say you should watch in the cinema. The sound with dolbey atmos was sooo immersing. I felt like everything was vibrating(well sound is viabrations but you know what i mean)
"It's what my dad woulda done" still gets me everytime. My new favorite movie. If it doesn't win Best Picture at Oscars I'll be mad. This movie has EVERYTHING. Such a cool Theater experience
If they ever show this in the theaters again, you gotta see it in IMAX and feel the sound of jets rattling the seats. I saw it 8 times with 7 different friends in tow (last time was with a friend who wanted to go again with his entire family). Great reaction. Helped me relive it like it was my first viewing. Keep up the fun reactions. 👍😊
Oh man, I wish there had been an IMAX near me, would have loved to see it in that.
@@chrishaselden I keep talking to my local theater workers and "suggesting" they do a double feature on an armed forces holiday of both the original Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick. I bet they'd sell out for whatever days they had it. 😁
Honestly I'd say D-Box was even better. Having the seat tilt as the plane does and feeling the vibrations of the flares popping off really made this movie pop
Even in a basic theater with standard sound it was AMAZING!
@@logandarklighter Agreed! In the last week of the theater presence, that was all that was available... it was more than enough... but I think the theater staff knew to turn up the volume just a smidge to rumble the audience just a little more. 🤣
Production wise: Tom Cruise flew a real fighter jet for some of the scenes. All of the actors flew in real stunt planes, all the while having to press record on cameras and make sure the shots were lined up, since you can't have a cameraman up there with you. It is insane what they went through!
No, Tom Cruise didn't fly a real jet, he, just like all the actors sat, in the back of the superhornets. The only scene where's he's flying himself is the P51 in the end sequence as it's his own aircraft. He does has a commercial jet license, but wasn't allowed to fly the baby hornet.
They were all in real FA-18s flown by real Navy Pilots
And Cruise flew his own P51 Mustang at the end of the movie
@@scottbarkley496 oh thanks for clearing that up. I thought the actors flew stunt planes instead of jets!
Q
@@TRPLD yeah the reason they had them fly in the Super Hornets for the movie is specifically because they are the newest 2 seater jets, so the real actual pilots are sitting front seat flying, and the actors are in the rear set, pretending to fly, and shooting scenes lol
@@KS-xk2so And - hopefully keeping their lunch under their belts!
How can you not cry even once while watching this ? You are either emotionally very strong or you are a robot.
YES!!!
It's one of the biggest hits of the year, $1.4 billion dollars and is nominated for 6 Oscars including Best Picture!
It looks so good because the actors were flying in the back seat of an F18 SuperHornet. So their reactions experiencing g-forces are as real as it gets. No CGI or green screens.
The emotion I felt watching this for the first time couldn’t compare to anything. I would give anything to have that experience again, and watching someone do that very thing is close enough for me
Watching it in Theaters for the first time was an experience. The sound design is out of this world. You could FEEL the engines starting up.
Did you happen to catch the sneaky move Glenn Powell did with the jukebox. He did his own little easter egg tribute to the first movie and types in 86 in the song selection keypad. That was not caught till post production.
It was great to have Val Kilmer here since he has suffered from a condition that has affected his voice. It is one of the most warm moments. "The kid needs Maverick" is one of the best lines.
1. No it wasn’t a fan that pushed the gust of wind. It was an actual jet flying over.
2. The F-1&s are real. The actors are really in the planes. The actors are really acting while flying in the planes.
3. There are two BEHIND THE SCENES trailers which really show you how incredibly special this movie is because of how they filmed it!
While I didn’t watch the first Top Gun film, I personally think that the sequel _Top Gun: Maverick_ is overall superior to the first Top Gun film and critics and fans wholeheartedly agree, because for one they made Maverick much more relatable than the first film and the chemistry and relationships he has with Rooster (Goose’s son), the other Pilot cadets, Jennifer Connelly’s character, Penny, and Iceman (Val Kilmer) made this worth the watch and on top of that the story, the music and the action scenes made this sequel superior than the first film.
Even It was good to see this in theaters with my father and it was worth the watch.
Thanks ANGELINA.
Better music, cinematography, writing, acting, action and plot.
Plus Maverick isn't a complete dickhead
Tom Cruise designed a training regiment to get the cast in shape and it also included sticking them in an increasing sequence of powerful planes so they could act, fly and record themselves at the same time. The flight scenes were real and Top Gun pilots flew the cast around in the planes, except the P51 Mustang Propeller plane. That's Cruise's plane and he flies it himself.
I laugh so hard every time I see Jianyu from Good Place just casually pop into the background with the other fighters!
BTW Just in case because people keep questioning the plot: the USAF does have 5th gen fighters of their own, they're F22 Raptors (and I think F35s too) but they can't take off from aircraft carriers. F18s are 4.5 gen jets and they can take off from ships which is why the US Navy uses them for long range infiltration. The 5th gen enemies in this movie look like they used Sukhoi SU-57s but I haven't checked that online so don't take my word for it. The 'bag of ass' is a 4th gen f14 tomcat which was the kind they flew in the 1984 top gun movie
Yes the USAF has F-35s too, specifically the A variant, whereas the B and C variants are flown by the Marine Corps and Navy, the latter briefly seen during the opening scene on the carrier. The enemy 5th gen is indeed SU-57.
They addressed the use of F/A-18s instead of F-35s (the nave does have the capability to launch those off of ships) in Maverick’s initial briefing by the admiral. He said it would be ideal for F-35s but the gps those use wouldn’t work in the area due to interference from the mountains, I believe, and they would have trouble delivering their payload precisely without it. That leaves the F/A-18 as the only plane with enough speed and maneuverability along with the proper payload delivery systems to strike. F-22 is an air superiority fighter and not capable of ground attack missions, so even if they were capable of carrier launch they couldn’t fly this mission.
@@calibadgerdude6082The real reasons were:
a) the F-35 wasn't operating off any U.S carriers yet when the filming took place
b) it's got a load of secret tech in it
c)F-35 is a single seat only, whereas F/A-18 has 2 seat models suitable for filming
My partner works on the planes at Edward's Airforce Base and for the airshow last year they had one of the plane props used for this movie (it's basically a shell that looks just like the real thing but the inside is pretty much empty. They did use real planes, too, though.
This movie is absolutely phenomenal! I saw it 3 times in theaters and 5 more times when it came out on blu ray
Special Thanks to my patrons
The cast went through flight training in order to actually do mostly all of the flight scenes. It looks amazing and doesn’t seem real, but it is👏🏻
One thing to note though, Tom Cruise is the only one to actually fly the F-18.
@@GerroxJr1 Tom cruise didn't fly the F-18. At all.
@@adamantiumrage Yes he did, during practice. During the filming another pilot flew it while Cruise was backseater.
@@davidkrutsinger5414 Nope, never at all. Literally one of the rules the navy gave the studio was that Tom couldn't fly any of the F-18's himself. I don't care how famous he is, the Navy isn't going to let an actor fly a multi-million dollar jet. They were all sitting backseat for all the practice and filming of the scenes while actual pilots flew. The thing Tom did that no one else did was he actually got to sit backseat and take off from the aircraft carrier. Its the shot in the film. None of the other actors did that.
What absolute nonsense. Totally untrue. And this comments section is full or other children repeating the same drivel.
That shot at the gas station wasnt a fan, that was actually real, and i believe they had one chance to get the scene right
One thing to point out is that it is not a gas station but a entry point to the base where a navy MA (Master at Arms) is shown proper ID before anyone enters. MA's are the USN version of military police there is a brief scene of 2 escorting "Mavrick" to RADM. Cain's office when he returns to the base.
And another thing, the roof coming off the entry point was not planned, it was accidental.
@@GerroxJr1 Yeah, a in the hut couldn't hold his fart
It wasn’t that they had one chance, but they damaged the hut so much they couldn’t do anymore takes, so it was a one take deal because of that, and it was perfect. Kudos to Ed Harris too, he took that blast like a mf’er.
It wasnt a fan but i wouldnt say that it was real, since the plane was cgi. Maybe they used an f18, and then they Cgi it to the dark star?
The dogfight football scene was filmed multiple times, with all of the actors/actresses being on a strict diet and exercise program during/part of production. At one point, they were tolding shooting for that scene was done, and they all went out to celebrate with tator tots, milkshakes, and beer. A day or two later, they were called back to reshoot that scene, and had to go back dieting. Lol
That said, physical fitness is important from what I've heard for military pilots (need to be able to handle those high speed moves), so them all being in great shape isn't that crazy an idea. :)
The dust getting kicked up in the shot at 3:10 was actually caused by an actual f-18 low pass. They used cgi to put the darkstar over the F-18
Yayy loved this movie! It was a phenomenal theater watch that I watched before watching the original, and I believe there was a little snippet before the movie started where tom cruise explained he wanted to make it feel super authentic and thus opted to use real fighter jets, which just adds so much to how i perceive the movie! it had everything really
There is a youtube video on how the actors were taught cinemtography. They are in the back seats acting as if they were flying. But also looking at the camera angles.
As for how they shot the jet scenes. They developed a new rig to put the camera in the cockpit and to make it feel like you were in there too so the shots of the pilots in the planes were actually shot in real F-18s
And the cameras weren't little Go-Pro's or something. They were I-MAX cameras.
@@toddlower5546 Which on a technical level is VERY impressive! Especially when you know and understand the limitations of the FILM that I-MAX uses!
You should definitely watch some BTS videos on Maverick, it was pretty incredible how they shot the movie. Just in general the cinematography was amazing, even just the quality of the 'romantic' arc of the movie, but the in cockpit filming was more of a technological step forward. Previous to this the only compact enough solutions were 1080p and not 4k cinema cameras. They did however shoot on Sony Venice 4k cinema cameras, which typically could not fit in a cockpit, especially with the constraints of the safety systems not being impeded (ejection seat, etc.). Which also to talk about, there was so much done practically in this movie, the actors spent a lot of time being flown in real F-18's. But back to the cameras haha, Sony developed a way to separate the sensor from the rest of the camera after consulting with directors (like James Cameron on Avatar 2). So the lens and sensor block are a single unit connected to the processor hardware via an extension cable, which makes an extremely compact package as the camera bodies can be mounted elsewhere. As the actors were alone in the air they also had to be trained on operating the cameras, along with how to pull series G's! Such an awesome movie though in all aspects, probably one of my favourites from last year.
I love the sequel so much more than the original, I swear I watched it at least 3-4 times in theatres.
i watched the original a few weeks ago and it is kind of bad. The dialouge was really cringeworthy most of the time. I've read a review somewhere which said: the good scenes are really good and the bad scenes are relentlessly bad ;D
Penny was the daughter of a Admiral that Maverick had a on again off again relationship with, she was mentioned at the beginning of the first top gun movie when the captain was talking about all the incidents that Maverick has gotten in trouble with where he took penny on a joy ride on his fighter without permission
Same as you I wasn’t really a huge fan of the first movie so didn’t know what to expect for the second one. Saw it in theaters and it was pretty amazing, the sound especially was so epic
The diner with the little kid in the beginning is right up the street from my house - Halfway House Cafe. They film everything there, including the famous Cindy Crawford Pepsi commercial from the 90’s.
Also, the 33 rounds of ammunition left is a nod to the original Top Gun - 33 years since it came out.
PENNY: This was "the Admiral's Daughter" Meg Ryan mentioned in the Cafe in "Top Gun".
This is the Second Movie were Tom plays a Navy Officer... that isn't thrilled with being on the water!
24:20 I’ll never forget my own reaction when that Su-57 performed that cobra maneuver!
The maneuver starts as a "Pugachev cobra", but it looks more like "Kvochyur's bell" and ended with a "falling leaf".
Seen an SU-33 do it at an air show. Not sure how useful it would actually be in combat though because the aircraft loses pretty much ALL of it's energy when they do it.
@Rs Rt it's not. Any decent fighter pilot following behind it would have selected guns pushed rudder and sawed the SU-57 in half with 20mm cannon rounds. In DCS, the F-14's counter is to go vertical and loop back down and gun the SU as it tries to speed up to maneuvering speed. You better have your timing right and have mastered flying the beast at below 350 knots at 5+g, cause there is little to no room for errors during this maneuver.
@@linusa2996 NO ONE gets free passage through the HUD without my A61 Vulcan saying something.
Pretty interesting info guys
A few tidbits:
-(Foreshadowing) In the first bar scene, Coyote covers Hangman’s eyes while playing darts and he still hits the bullseye. Rooster takes a blind shot at the end when the laser fails and he hits the bullseye.
-(foreshadowing) Cyclone: “You did it by stealing a multimillion dollar military jet and flying it in such a manner that it may never be airworthy again.” Maverick finishes the mission by stealing the F-14 and it’s definitely not airworthy after it crashes on the deck of the aircraft carrier.
-After Maverick jumps out of the window, Amelia is wearing a necklace with a red bead on her left side and a green bead on her right side, which corresponds to the navigation lights on an aircraft, as she’s giving advice to Mav.
-When Mav and Rooster face off before the first flight, Phoenix is kneeling next to the nose landing gear watching them; as the testosterone flows, Phoenix’s tow bar has a hard-on.
-Final kill count:
Hangman: 2
Maverick: 5
Rooster: 3 (a helicopter, and he gets equal credit for Mav’s two kills.)
-(Foreshadowing) Penny in the bar: "Somehow you're back in a fighter plane with your tail on fire.".. then LITERALLY is in a fighter and gets hit by a missile which severs the tail and and lights it on fire.
_(Foreshadowing) The scene where they're practicing bombing runs opens with a flock of birds leaving the ground. The scene ends with one of those birds geting sucked into Phoenix and Bob's engine.
-(Foreshadowing?) H_ngM_n hits a bullseye with a dart after Coyote covers his eyes. So how did H_ngM_n manage to sneak up on an SU-57 and fire off a missile without the SU-57 knowing H_ngM_n was lighting him up with the F-18's fire control radar? Because H_ngM_n fired off a missile by eyeballing it, because he's THAT good.
They shot it by shooting it for real. Even the shot in the beginning with the Dark star take off was shot for real with a different aircraft. The only generated shots were the explosive ones and reaching Mach 10.
One of the VFX team did an interview with a CZcamsr (who is a former US Navy and USAF pilot) about 6 months ago, he was forced to take it down a few days later by Paramount executives, but in that interview they discussed how much was real and how much was CGI, and it’s amazing how much CGI was used considering Paramount’s claims that they used very little:
All aerial shots of Darkstar are CGI.
The ground shots are real, Lockheed Martin had been developing the Darkstar project, and had built the frame and cockpit ready for filming. Rumour is Darkstar will indeed be a real plane eventually. I say rumour as they refuse to confirm or deny it.
All onboard shots of the cast in the cockpits are real, but any time another aircraft is in frame, it has been added digitally, 9:31 is a great example of that as a plane doesn’t fly like that.
The flyover for Iceman’s funeral is CGI.
The shots of the 4 planes flying through the snowy canyon was a single plane digitally replicated 3 more times.
The bridge is CGI.
The helicopter is CGI.
The missiles and explosions are CGI.
The F-14 vs Su-57 scenes are all CGI.
The ground scenes for the F-14 are real up to the take-off, apart from the engines starting, they shipped the display Tomcat from San Diego Air and Space Museum, which was stripped of its engines when it was retired, to location.
The boat scene is real, and when Maverick slips, that wasn’t scripted, Jennifer Connolly asking Tom Cruise if he’s ok was her genuine reaction.
@@CoffeeMatt10 the funeral flyover is real, just 4 F/A-18' in standard tight fingers 4 into a missing man. The 4 ship low on the deck was 4 EA-18G's if it was CGI it would have been E's and F's. Maverick rolling on top of Rooster was a composite of 3 shots. Them into the barber pole is CGI. The F-14 v SU-57 was flown by 2 pilots in F/A-18's and the digital aircraft put in post. CGI error when Maverick rolls the -14 the ailerons move. The -14 does not have ailerons. CGI error #2, -14 wings are swept back when they should be swinging open.
Not Ange coming for that kid in the diner 😂 Great commentary Ange and yep I agree it’s better then the original. For some of the shots I know the cast learnt how to fly and operate the cameras at the same time
Angie, I love this movie! I cried the first time, almost the second time, and cried 3rd, the 4th and 5th time. I’m a man! Penny is the character that was mentioned in top gun, remember the line "and one admiral's daughter" then goose says "Penny Benjamin" that is her in this movie.
Fun fact, all actors did a training course made by Tom cruise to pilot the f18s. IMAX cameras were installed inside the aircraft and the actors had to do editing, filming and makeup themselves. The tag team football scene was filmed 7 times.
The scene where the Darkstar flies over the Admiral (Ed Harris).....there was no fan used. The scene was shot with a real jet, so the compression wave, the vehicle shaking and the roof coming off is all real. Only things afterwards is the real jet was replaced by the CGI Darkstar.
penny is the admiral's daughyter mentioned in the first top gun movie. also in regaards to how they filmed this, there is a video or atleast there used to be a video where they highlighted what they had to go through to film it like going to the airforce swimming pool to learn the proper procedure if they crash in water etc. and how they slowly upgraded from a propellar plane to jetplane and finally how each actor/actress had to learn how to shoot the camera learning cinematocracy etc.
When Coyote was passing out and you asked who was behind him, the answer is 'no one', one of the planes in each pair was a single-seater with only the pilot, and the other was a two-seater with pilot and a weapons sytstems officer in the back.
I finally got to see this movie, so I can finally enjoy your commentary. Glad to see you back. I think a good call-sign for you would be Diner Cereal.
It’s what my dad would of done and “ prove that I wasn’t a mistake” from creed are line that makes this remakes/ reboots so dam good
There is an asian female pilot too with the callsign called ''Halo'' in the team as well.
You see her in the scene in the back behind the tables and in the teaching of dogflighing scene.
Even in the beach scene with Phoenix.
Happy to see your reaction, keep it up, watching since one year now
Great reaction! The planes were filmed separately and joined with film magic for the movie, but notice that the actors in the cockpits who had to film their own shots always looked out of the correct side of the canopy. That's good directing!
Loved your reaction Ange. This was an epic 2nd movie that took the style and character of the first one, and built on it. So much nods and nostalgia to the first movie, while being fantastic enough to stand on its own. This is how you make a sequel 👏
That was my favorite reaction of yours to date. Awesome.
13:52 being a fighter pilot is extremely hard physically and mentally. Its like a racing driver all of the g forces make you need to be fit and strong hence why the airforce has some of the best food (im not sure about naval aviators but i assume they get good food too)
All the flight scenes are filmed practically so every shot that might seem impossible, was possible…almost like this was…mission impossible
The spin done by the opposing aircraft after the steal the F14 is a real maneuver. It's called the Kvochur Bell Maneuver Many aircraft can do it, but because of the way the Russian Su-57 is designed, it can perform it exceptionally well.
In fact the US's best aircraft the F35 is slightly outclassed by the Su-57. The F35 favors stealth, and plans to take down targets before they know they were there, the Su-57 was built to be a dogfighter, and can out manuver the F35.
The pilots in the movie were actually in the jets but were sitting back seat to real fighter pilots. So a lot of the maneuvers they were actually in the plane
Because they weren't allowed to fly them on their own. They're simply too expensive.
That leaving the door open move, so smooth.
For your shirt - turn it inside out - get scissors, fabric glue, and a then elastic band - cut two strips of elastic strips roughly the length of the should strap - glue one end to the back of the shoulder strap & let it dry - After it’s had time to dry slightly stretch the elastic& glue the other end of the elastic to the other side of the shoulder strap ( don’t over stretch it) & let it dry - turn shirt inside out. Now the elastic will keep the shoulder straps from falling.
3:08 that shot was actually a real shot and it was a one take because the gust of wind was real and the prop hut on the left actually broke and the shot was just perfect so they felt no need to do it again.
And Ed Harris actually stood there because he's a legit badass.
A bird strike is exactly what it sounds like. Running into a bunch of birds in air. They can get in an engine or something and take a plane down. My partner (airforce veteran) Says they put bird stickers on the planes each time they get a bird strike 😅
I once was an F-15 mechanic in the USAF. Birdstrikes are no joke.
Is it true what they say about the A10 Warthog? That it’d take birdstrikes in the back? That instead of an airspeed indicator, it had a calendar?
A few awesome production facts: All of the actors actually rode in the jets during shooting (obviously a real F-18 pilot was flying the thing for them). In the shot of Darkstar taking off, apparently the roof of the shed actually popped off like that! They had an F-18 do the takeoff for real and composited Darkstar into the shot. Tom Cruise actually owns and flies the P-51 we see in the movie.
I took my mom to see this on release day, worth every penny! Seen it about half a dozen times now and still as good!
3:07 They used a real F/A-18 Super Hornet for that shot and most other shots in this movie. There is very little cgi in this movie compared to other movies of the last 15 years.
There is a behind the scenes short about how they filmed it, a must watch!
Snow scenes were filmed up in Lake Tahoe, CA. My friends and I were up there during a weekend when you could hear the jets flying. Couldn't see them but they were flying all day back in 2018 or 19, can't remember the exact date. The locals we talked to never saw the actors but they were up there for quite a while.
I worked on this film. Mostly in the later parts of production and reshoots. My company worked the entire project from start to finish. We provided wardrobe, property and limited technical advising. I can’t leave photos here, but we have all the uniforms and flight gear we sourced and made for the film. Including Maverick’s jackets.
This was the project of the lifetime.
18:02 this is called leading by example, where the leader shows them how its done basically, all the best leaders do this :)
I've never even seen the original top gun movie and I LOVE Maverick as the movie it is 😊💖
Tom cruise was the flight instructor for the cast before filming. They had to learn how to operate the camera rig to pick the best shots
I love the commentary here, and beyond that, your son from a previous video…. Keep it up, I’m in awe
I had to do training in Lemoore in 2019, just after filming wrapped up. Some of the pilots I was with were background extras in the officer club scene.
I live in San Diego where this movie mostly takes place, and years ago, the dad of some friends of mine, who was serving in the Navy, was able to use his security clearance to get us onto the base this film was shot at. And we got to hang out at the same beach the bar scenes (the bar was built specifically for the movie) and the dogfight football scenes were filmed.
"AND we LEARNED something!!" I'm dead 💀
It's a little hard for me to explain, but to me after watching both movies I think the character, Maverick, best represents the soul of these movies, in the first one both Maverick and the movie give off this big high octane energy, cockiness and larger than life feel, with the second movie again both Maverick and the movie feel more mature, grown, and in place of the cockiness, a feeling that says both know who and what they are, a good example would be the beach scene from both movies, the first is fun, but it doesn't really do anything for the movie other than to provide fan service, take it out and nothing is really lost, but in the second movie the beach scene has a purpose, as Maverick says to create a team and bound amongst the young pilots (and show fan service).
Thanks so much, #ANGELINA, for uploading this awesome movie reaction. I love your content so much because it's so cool, and I enjoy watching your reactions to different TV shows and movies.
You’re excitement made me smile and laugh ❤
As an old guy, same age as TC I can tell you as a young soldier stationed in Okinawa (Torii Station) in the early 80's I met a lot of fighter pilots from Kadena AB and I have to say they were definitely in shape.
Told you so. Gotta trust your fans, Ange. Wouldn't be saying how awesome this movie was if it wasn't.
Your reactions have me dying 😂. Great video!
I love the beauty of the Skunkworks logo, also funny note, Fanboy’s helmet has the logo of VF-143, which is named Puking Dogs
You make me laugh so much, thank you 🎉
All of these shots were in real jets while actually flying. So crazy
Not all of them lol. But ya they flew a lot in them
I love your videos Angelina! I have watch that movie last year with my Dad and it's just very good movie, Have a good day and take care! I love you! I hope you enjoyed the movie!
This reaction has been a long time coming :D
Great video Ange :)
Penny Benjamin... the Admiral's daughter who was mentioned in the original movie.
Amazing film🔥
Nooo! You took away that one (brilliant) line from the little kid!! 🥺 Him saying "Earth" was such a great moment! And you cruelly took that one line away from _a child_ just to scold him for wanting Cheerios when his parents clearly had made him come with them to the diner! 😭😭
This: but it was Froot Loops.
@@toddlower5546 Oh, I was wondering (it's been such a long time) what fruit loops looked like again, and assumed that those had to be fruit Cheerios as I could only remember the shape of Cheerios and assumed others didn't have the same shape!
Enough people have already mentioned that the actors are often filmed in the back seat of an actual F-18. The jamming capabilities of the enemy installation were a plot device to explain why they weren't going in newer generation aircraft which are all single seaters.
This has gotta be the best sequel ever. 99% of the flying shots are real (minus the ones that break the 500ft bubble), and Tom Cruise had the cast undergo the naval and flight training before production. They even made new IMAX cameras just for this movie so that they could film the actors in the cockpit. They all had to operate the cameras themselves. While the final mission did have some questionable tactics to help with the story (like why didn't they just hit the SAM sites with a second wave of missiles; Mav could have shot the Su-57 when it pulled the cobra, especially with how experienced he is, but whatever), the effort the cast and crew put in for this was top notch, and I think everyone can agree it shows in the end result.
all the flying scenes are practical stunts. They had real pilots flying real aircraft. The actors were placed in back seats, in charge of starting cameras and performing their rolls with as little error as possible. So impressive
Most of the stunts. There's no way they thread a jet between two others for a movie.
@@pigs18 Yes you’re right. Some stuff was edited together. But each clip was an actual pilot doing the actual maneuver. If that makes sense. But yes you’re right some stuff was edited together
A lot of people don't realise that the first act, where he reaches mach 10 is a set up for the later scene where he shows them it's possible to fly the mission parameters that was set.
Saw this in IMAX. One of the best theater experiences ever. S tier sequel.
awe thanks Angie this was great
@Real-ANGELINA. thanks but give to another ps looking good
It wasn't a giant fan that created the gust of wind when the Dark Star was taking off. It was a Blue Angels pilot in an F-18 and it actually blew the roof off the security guard shack.
There are interviews on CZcams with the pilot and the directors talking about it.
In this movie, the backstory between maverick and rooster is that rooster was goose’s(maverick’s former wingman and best friend)’s son. Goose died when flying with maverick even tho it was not maverick’s fault, rooster dosent think that way. Also the pilots are ripped because you have to be fit and strong to fly a fighter jet🫡
I have never seen your channel before. That was a crazy intro lol
Shoulda won the Oscar for best picture imo
That first shot of the flight over the admiral was done with an actual f-18 flyby
