#TopGun #TopGunMaverick - Krátké a kreslené filmy
All the behind the scenes of the training seemed like such an asset in not only promoting the film, but it stands out in a resume for the cast. It has that "see how committed we are" type of thing. And for being training, while it may not be necessarily "fun", but it looked like a cool experience. Though I wonder if the pilot extras had to do the training as well, because you literally only see their faces for like 30 seconds for the whole film, about 5 seconds of that were in the flying jets (talking about Yale, Harvard, and Fritz). I would assume so, but they could've probably get away with CGI them in the cockpit because the scene was so short, so they didn't have to do the training.
For extras they could easily get actual pilots, since they wouldn't need much acting experience. But it'd be harder to find experienced actors who also happen to be trained in piloting jets.
@@rosenthorn_ yea omg would of been so hard to find a pilot to say the three lines of dialogue each of the characters had throughout the entire FILM. Thank god they had expert actors
@@austism1 sounds like your agreeing with rae?
@@austism1 Actors do a thing called acting and so are available to act. Pilots tend to be busy piloting.
I would assume the pilot extras were actual US Navy pilots lol
Huge props to the cast! Instead of just memorizing lines and delivering them on a set they had to learn an entire set of new skills and training that most people wouldn’t be able to achieve. Their hard work and strength definitely shows!
It seems like the difference between Tom Cruise films and the majority of others now days is green screen. Most "actors" have to learn how to react to a tennis ball; Cruise tests your ability to actually perform in the situation. I'm bored of green screen movies.
this reminds me of Ricky Gervais trashing current Hollywood for making these clown movies which actors have to show up with steroided bodies and form fitting vinyl costumes, standing a lil bit around a green screen and making jokes about each other. And then they get paid millions, ridiculous.
This is a Tom Cruise film...not Marvel.
@@mortimerbrewster3671Right! This green screen CGI stuff is ok but it just lacks character..something is gonna be sacrificed when you take short cuts
@@mortimerbrewster3671 Much of the water training is because they were flying backseat in actual Super Hornets, and as such they had to have the various ejection training regimes in the event something happened and they had to bail or ditch, all of which is Navy requirements for working in a flight capacity on their aircraft.
Cruise could have easily settled for easier ways to do things, but I think he honestly respects the occupation and its inherent physical demands and dangers, and so wanted to ensure his product had that realism built in as best he could.
This right here was one of the best parts of the movie. They put the actors through survival training and flight training to be in the actual seat of an F-18 Hornet and film while doing the stunts in these REAL Aircraft. Not a built out tube in a Sound Studio surrounded by Green/Blue Screens but Real Life aircraft in real environments. No Green Screen can fake the feel of pressure in a high G turn, a yank to the side in a roll or sudden weightlessness in a dive. So when the scenes happens and they feel those maneuvers, We as the audience are along for the ride and feel like we're there with them. WE NEED MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS!
You gotta respect The whole cast for going through intense training like that . Enormous props to all of them!!!
Who wouldn’t?
Water survival training is standard for Navy pilots and aircrew. Several of my shipmates lived because of what they learned in dunker training.
It is intense, but also builds confidence that you can contribute to your own rescue when your day goes very bad.
Can you share a story or two of what happened to them that required a water survival?
@@CPR12345 Two that immediately come to mind ...
First one was in an H-46 that had a sync-shaft failure. They were doing a maintenance test, and the front and rear rotors hit each other. The aircraft broke in half, dumping the crew chief out (sadly, he did not survive). My friend and the other pilot were able to control the front rotor enough to survive the ensuing water landing. The instrument panel collapsed on impact, trapping my friend in the rapidly-sinking cockpit. Because he had gone through D-WEST just before that deployment, he knew that he had the HEEDS (Helicopter Emergency Egress Device - essentially a 2-minute air bottle) in his vest. A deep draw on that air allowed him to calm down enough to untangle his legs and egress successfully.
Other one was a controlled ditch in an H-2. The aircraft lost transmission oil pressure over 20 miles from the ship. They turned towards the ship and followed the appropriate procedures for an impending transmission failure. The vibrations increased to the point that they elected to ditch before the transmission seized.. They were about 8 miles from the ship, which was closing fast. Once in the water, everyone was able to successfully egress by following their training. To wit: Stay strapped in until all violent motion has stopped. Find a reference point and release from your seat. Maintain references until reaching an egress point. Push clear before inflating your vest.
Both are alive today because of this excellent training, which I can only guess has improved over the years.
Tom Cruise went out of his way to “grow” these actors. They were so lucky :)
More like to put them in danger
@@darknemessis6880 really Karen 😎🤣🤣🤣🤣. FJB
@@thomasthomas9077 Karen? You really sound like one
@@darknemessis6880 To fly highway to the danger zone
@@darknemessis6880 That was an "I know you are but what am I" response. How old are you? Five? You should be happy he was kind and called you Karen. I'll just call you pathetic, weak loser.
Tom Cruise: "Go big or go home." People may not like his religious beliefs, but ya gotta admire his commitment to his profession.
To them, that's the most intense training for a movie.
But for Tom..it's just Tuesday
Probably just the morning too, whole afternoon for other (mis)-adventures.
Haha no kidding this movie he has to be inside the aircraft😂
It's phenomenal watching the behind the scenes of their filming. the fact that they workedo n the movie for a whole year i hope there's even more unreleased footages in the making down the road
This movie and all involved created a great summer in cinema! Heroes with no capes can win at the box office!
I love the dedication that Tom Cruise brings to all of his characters! This is the difference between a REAL actor and some reality personality dipping their toe in the acting ring.
dang, that’s insane, mad respect for these actors for the determined attitude. super worth it, TG:M is easily the best movie I’ve ever watched.
I think TopGun Maverick is a perfect movie. It’s an action movie that also has depth. I now have nothing but respect for Tom Cruise. He treated the cast with respect, and it shows. He paid for the cast to get a pilot’s license - out of his own money. That shoes respect, and they replied in kind. I watched the movie again last night, and there were a lot of details I didn’t catch the first time.
hope when the dvd come out, they have all the bloopers and behind the scenes moments like this video
Genuinely, the BEST Summer movie ever made in my opinion. Seen it 4-5 times already.
I was in the USN from 86 to 90 on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. I was on what was known as the Forward Away Team which would travel to the next port of call a couple days in advance of the ship's arrival and prepare the Fleet Landing, meet with local officials and law enforcement, etc. It was a helicopter trip to get there so I had to take the same survival training as the normal helo crews did. It was brutal. The program I went through was actually ran by the Coast Guard. Holding your breath while the cabin submerged and rolled upside down was terrifying. The panic you have to fight is most of the battle. I love the water and am a strong swimmer, so that helped. Kudos for these guys for making it thru.
This effort and how good the movie was coz of it deserves Oscar nominations of some sort. Right??
Tom is one such actor that had real life aviation experience
This movie was SO worth the wait. I’ve only watched it about 6 times Bought the digital version as soon as it was available on Apple. Awesome job TOM C.
Love Bob & Phoenix
which part of their 35 seconds of screen time, and dialogue did you like the best ? or was it their cute little nicknames they had for each other ? :)
@@austism1 the moment she handed him the pool cue, which happen to be the first person seeing him because of his name, his glasses or even his social awkwardness, but only as a Top Gun graduate
Something this touches on that isn't mentioned is how great the training in the US armed forces is especially when it comes to pilots the governments spends a lot of money and making sure these guys know what to do and how to do it well.
You don’t fly if you can’t pass the training so we were highly motivated to pass to do our jobs. We had to do it every four years, no excuses
Only Tom's movies have more interesting behind the scenes!
So true. Behind the scenes of most movies are the "actors" in front of a green screen covered in little black dots.
I have flown in an airplane with my dad since I was lil and have been a top gun fan from jump and this movie was hands down so epic top gun hit it hard but top gun Maverick hit my soul the sound the turns the G force I felt like I was in an airplane with my dad again this movie so so well executed so thx Tom cruise and team for such an amazing movie it was truly art what I all pulled off on the 2nd one I watch it at least 1 or 2 times a month I just can't get enough of it it truly brings me back to my child hood and flying with my dad so thx for that now that he has passed I can still go back and watch this movie and remember us watching top gun but also the great times we had flying and hanging out at the hangers at the air port and pulling the plane out God bless u all for this movie and thx Tom for coming back to make it with out I it's no good God bless
My father was a Navy pilot (E-3's out of North Island Coronado) and he had to go to Miramar to the "swim pool" for recurring training. I was about 11-12 years old and I was able to go with him and participate in all of the training except the Dilbert dunker - strapped in a fuselage and dumped in the water and flipped over. The chief trainer wasn't comfortable with me doing it. The highlight was jumping off the tower simulating jumping from an aircraft carrier into the water. It was a blast. One of the trainers did the final dive and did a one and half gainer into the pool.
And it pays off. Hell of a movie, all 7 times.
Water survival wasn't necessarily fun when I went through it. I am glad to have received it. I quit flying in the military a little over 5 years ago and my Commercial Pilot job that
I have have now keeps me over a lot of water. It's good training that can last for a lifetime.
Im convinced now. Tom Cruise is building an army
Ahh water survival. The helo dunker is a blast. It was nice taking a two day break from the squadron and all you had to do was show up on time, get in the water and do what you needed to do.
Wow! Respect to all actors 👏
I love seeing these “behind the scenes” training the actors had to endure. This is required training which must be re-visited every four years. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard aviator and aircrew. The helo dunkers are required training for all Marines deploying onboard ship as well.
Wow behind the scenes that are actually interesting. Hasn’t happened since the 80s
Freaking awesome training!!.... anyone who has not been through Millitary training has missed out. I am from South Africa and my generation has spend time in the military for at least a period of 2 years and afterwards service for a period of 10 years - a month for every year in active duty...depending on the requirement. Was in the NSRI - National Sea Rescue Institute) at school (Walvis Bay! in Namibia 🇳🇦. Awesome times 😄😎
0:58 was that a voice crack🤣🤣
voice crack man kinda looks like Tom Holland? Or is my eyes just in bad shape
Been there! Helo dunker.
The dunker is awesome!!.. It’s like a carnival ride flipped upside down…loved it!! OOHRAH 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
every castmemeber underwater: "alright lets get out of here asap."
Tom: "alright guys you can take a tight 5, im going to chill here a bit."
This is how great movies are made!
I love this movie, I own it, I love watching it, and I done so about 10 times already.
For some reason I'm now imagine what it would be like if Tom Cruise was in a George Miller film.
SUPER VIDÉO 👍 THANKS
Now those actors are saying, "We gotta have a water survival scene in the next movie!"
I can’t explain why, maybe I’m an adrenaline junkie, but I have a strong desire to go through this type of training and fly the jets lol
“I don’t know how to swim”. And the military taught him. Interesting experience.
And of course it was the bl ack guy
The bl ack guy: "i did not know HOW to swim"
Stereotypes exist for a reason
I had friends who had their son discharged from the Naval Academy because he would not jump from a 30 foot diving board into a pool. 30 feet being the average height from the deck of a ship to the water if you have to abandon ship. He was terrified of heights.
Darn.
well done to all the cast...great bunch of girl and boys...instead of the usual dc/marvel green screen and ropes holding you 2 feet above the ground...
I hope this footage is on the disc when it's released.
The good old Dilbert Dunker, I remember it well. Wonder if they had them ride the rocket as well? Ejection seat simulator.
The drop in the pool under canopy, then clear yourself from it before it sinks. Lots of guys really panicked on that one.
All to get backseat qualed.
I’ve done that egress training it’s insane
My favourite part of the full length version is the navy instructor saying that he thought at least one of the actors would "tap out", but that he lost the bet!
Which actor did he think was going to tap out?
@@methos-ey9nf He didn't specify. I think it was a case of thinking it would be unlikely for all of them to make it through.
😳😳😳All these r ALPHA humans. 👏👏👏
Cool, to see 8409 Aerospace Physiology Instructor at work. As a child I 1st saw this type of training in the movie "Officer & a Gentleman" Then ended up at NAS Whidbey Island doing the job; of course as a student, training started at NAS Pensacola. This job saved my soul since I was working in urology at Balboa Hospital, seeing the horror of a wild night gone bad. Thank You Lord for C-school 8409 & rank waivers!!! 🙏
Yes, you can certainly call it intense. Those of us who have been in Naval Aviation call it Tuesday.
Not your first time, you didn't.
Probably introduced himself to the cast and made them day 1 it just like movie
When Greg said “I did not know how to swim” I felt so bad
I felt justified in my stereotyping
wow very intense
0:44 Goddamn every time I see him in these interviews, he’s always bringing up something to complain about (basically though, cause I can’t blame him 😂😂😂)
Lol their biggest motivator probably was a nearly 60 year old man also doing it with them. Young people are competitive like that 😂.
I can’t be the only one holding my breath while they do this
You're in a movie about the Navy and you can't swim: Panic!
You're playing a fighter pilot and your character is nowhere near the ocean: Calm.
They make you do underwater survival training as part of your training to be a fighter pilot for the Navy: Panic!
What makes you think they were nowhere near the ocean? Much of this was shot in California. The entire length of it is ocean. Naval Air Station North Island (on the water in San Diego). They flew off aircraft carriers in the ocean. ocean ocean ocean.
@@elizabeth5985 I realize now this wasn't training for background experience as a Naval Fighter Pilot, but for how they prepared for the flight to and from the aircraft carrier.
thats a real challenge. im a lifeguard certified swimmer & the underwater crash simulation....whoa! id like to try it tho.....with a navy guy right next to me! lol.
I do the dunking training for a living, it’s so fun I love my job
Who wouldn't want to work with Tom Cruise? In addition to acting with one of Hollyood's greatest, you get to do stuff that is normally outside the realm of an actor; really extreme, awesome stuff...and get paid for it!
I could think of a few reasons
It found it hard to breathe just as a viewer of the movie 😁
Where can I watch the whole BTS for Top Gun Maverick? Is there a name for this huhu halp?
Love maverik
💯💯💯
I loved drown proofing training. I was already drown proofed when I went in and have a 3 minute breath. I used to swim in the pool at night and threw 15 pennies in the deep end. I'd go looking for them with one breath.
ok...
Tom trained with free divers for Mission Impossible and could hold his breath for 6.5 minutes (for that one scene where he had to free dive). I mean.... he is a legend.
Tom Cruise about training with them: "Nah, I'm good".
incredibly cool to see a bit of behind the scenes !
BADASS.
The second I get water up my nose my instinct is to breath in and cough. They'd be dragging me outta the pool lmao.
Did any of the cast take the test for Navy flight officers?
I hope Gunnery Sergeant Foley was there to keep them safe.
If I want to be cast Id like to be in Top Gun and John Wick they have interesting training
Wow
I had to build a training program for them... yeah right
I love doing that.
Tom Cruise almost drowned the first time he did this for the first Top Gun.
.
Look how far he's come. Maybe that experience is what pushed him to train and do all of the stunts in future movies. Overcome fear.
@@mortimerbrewster3671 Maybe.
.
LOL and Galadriel from Rings of Power needed therapy.....
VERY GOOD !👍😂😂
I had a 17 year old teach me how to swim when i was 4.
😊
It would have also been cool to see this going the other way. Instead of training actors to fly, put out an audition call to NAVY pilots and see get some seasoned aviators to take some acting lessons.
How do you not know how to swim at 35 years old? It's insane to me.
As someone who never learned how to swim this seems very difficult
@00:31 Chris pratt
Tool sharpeners ,,period point blank!!!
I swear, Monica Barbaro is the most gorgeous women I've seen ever...
She is the only one out of all of them that did not vomit at some point in the training.
Strange to have to do helicopter underwater training for jet flying.
@B.L. Alley ahhh ha, clearly didn't think of that. Thank you.
If you go down in a Navy jet, you’re probably going to get picked up in a helicopter.
why weren't they able to secure the two navy seals, with the technology and budget they have 🇺🇲 they both cost at least 70M to raise and train
i love how they think they can fly ...
I’ve been through the training. It’s not that hard.
It is if it puts you in a new environment that presents real risk, tho. The physical stuff like holding your breath and finding the exit in the dunker? In the end, easy. Maintaining your calm and focus so you CAN find the exit....THAT'S the whole point.
"You get blindfolded"?
What, is that to simulate being submerged at night?
Yes - at night or in other poor-visibility conditions such as murky water. They do something similar when you're getting a scuba certification.
Navy: "Good news Mr Cruise. We've discussed it internally, and we don't see a need for your actors to go through this training."
Cruise: "Yeah, but let's not tell them that. I want them to have the full experience."
Navy: "Damn ... Tom really is hard-core."
said not service member ever
how can you not swim when you are like 30+?
Its part of his melanin rich culture ;)
do you really want to watch marvel studio movies now?
It's funny that Cruise thinks HE developed the training program
And yet he did. Look at the other behind the scenes: he took them flying in small airplanes first, then bigger, worked out an entire program for them. He is a pilot (of airplanes and helicopters). The dunking was the Navy's requirement, and the actors said so.
Actually I think it was in a pool, why did he say it was in tents?
Nothing like the heavily chlorinated helo dunker pool water up your nose during the roll-over.
"Ya...I had to blow Glenn Powell out of an F-18/A because we had a freak accident up there, but he made it cause Tom made damn sure he knew how to pull that ripcord..." - random Navy fighter pilot
Cut to Glenn, glass eyed and twitching
But at the end of the day, actors, not pilots .
