Reacting to TOP GUN: MAVERICK (2022) | Movie Reaction - Zábava
Val Kilmer actually has throat cancer. He can't speak without one of those voice boxes I believe. His voice was computer generated for this.
He can speak with like Ace Ventura though: with his butt.
@@pistonburner6448he needs a lot of breath mints
I read that Val Kilmer's son did the voice over for his Dad in the movie.
@@duanelavely5481 With his butt?
You're correct
Penny is the Admiral's daughter that was mentioned in the first Top Gun.
By meg Ryan ( goose's wife) in the bar just before great balls of fire
@@timothybuchanan662Goose also mentions her when they are getting chewed out.
@@timothybuchanan662also name-dropped by Goose when the they were getting chewed out about not landing at the beginning, and a history of high-speed passes on towers and “one admiral’s daughter.”
Goose leans in and quietly says “Penny Benjamin?” To Mac.
@@timothybuchanan662 Penny was 1st mentioned by the Commander on the 1st aircraft carrier when he was telling Maverick & Goose that he was sending them to Top Gun, i.e., "the Admiral's daughter".
The 1st one is definitely better than this one. A lot of the younger generation thinks the opposite, but they're goofy & their brains don't work.
Fun Fact: When Maverick meets Penny in the bar, “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie is playing on the jukebox. Jennifer Connelly (Penny) had her first lead role in “Labyrinth” with Bowie.
Tom Cruise is apparently enough of a film nerd that I'm sure that was entirely on purpose for fellow film nerds.
Labyrinth was also released on same year than original Top Gun
The problem with all-robot military is that each nation will be trying to outdo the other, the robots will become more and more deadly, and before you realize it, we’ll be living the Terminator movies.
Depressingly, it seems we're headed towards that future and can't stop it because all nations would have to agree to not develop killer robots or drones. Any nation that secretly develops those has an advantage, so other nations have to keep up and make their own.
@@flinxI actually believe some version of the Terminator scenario is inevitable; I just hope it happens after I’m planted in the ground.
Yep. Just a different form of an arms race.
Also, when every military is just robots, there's no lives on the line, so constant war is more likely than ever. The only things being lost are "industrial" assets that cost money, and there's always more money for weapons, it seems.
@@PaulGuy robots will kill people too. We're already seeing waves sent to overwhelm defenses and cause casualties. Battles usually won't be perfectly balanced. One side will turn the tide and kill more humans and robots.
Was never fussed about the original, but this came along and completely blew me away. Aside from the technical achievements, I love the simplicity - there's a mission that needs doing, we need to plan out the mission and get everyone back safely.
"Did I put on the first one by accident?"
"No he's an old man."
As someone who saw the original Top Gun in the theatre when I was 16 this doesn't make me feel old at all. HAHAHA
Penny was the in the story as the Admiral's daughter that he buzzed the tower with in the first one.
Loved the reaction!..."There would be a very strong smell in my aircraft."..."Hold on I got a wedgie."🤣
That P51 at the end where he took her flying is his actual plane. Hes a very accomplished pilot in his own right. And except for the F14 scenes which was CGI all the flying scenes were real in actual F18s. Thats why when pulling Gs it distorted their faces. Cant fake that.
nope, the in cockpit shots are real, everything from the outside is CGI, it's absurd how people believe that this is practial. If you want more info look up invisible cgi series on youtube
The actors are REALLY FLYING in those jets! They trained for six months in flight school before filming and had real naval aviators fly them from the front seat while the actors were delivering their lines in the back seat.
The mach number is how many times the speed of sound they're going. Mach 10 is just over 12.000 km/h. So it would take around 3 and a half hours to go around the world.
“There’s no way someone can control a plane like that, no way”
US Navy Pilots: “hold my beer”
CGI people: "Sure, I got you."
@@thomasgrimm1664 there’s almost zero CGI used in the movie, but you’re really smart, so you already knew that.
@@Kovich13 They used lots and lots of visual effects, including CGI airplanes. Check out this guy's video for example: "Top Gun Maverick Has 2,400 VFX Shots! Hollywood Lies About ‘Invisible’ CGI"
@@Kovich13I would highly suggest you watch “Mover ruins movies” a real fighter pilot who talked to the special effects guys that made top gun. This entire movie is CGI. 80% of the hornets are just copy pasted, the tomcat and the SU-57s are all fake, cgi was used to make a different jet look like them.
Thanks for that excellent review. As for bird strikes & movies, In 2009, an airliner with 155 people on board, lost both engines shortly after take off. They hit a flock of Canada Geese. Captain Sullenberger felt he had no other choice than to land the aircraft on the Hudson River. He saved everyone and is considered a hero. You can see photos of everyone standing on the wings, in the River, as one would, waiting for a water taxi. The film made about the incident and following investigation is called Sully-2016, directed by Clint Eastwood.
Great reaction Dawn. :) Also, pilots are needed because of the human factor. You have to be able to question questionable orders. Robots / automated wouldn't do that. Funny part Rooster was picked because he is team player. Maverick saw too much of himself still in Hangman. :) Miles did amazing playing as Goose's son too.
But Hangman was 100% the best choice for the alert 5 aircraft. If you need somebody to save your butt on the trip home, he is the best of them, hands down.
You have to watch footage of the Navy's "Blue Angels" flight team if you wanna see what amazing pilots can do with a aircraft. And the P-51 Mustang at the end of the movie is Tom Cruise's actual plane.
Little bit of irony when you mention the Blue Angels. Maverick was filmed during the Blues transition from the legacy Hornet to the Super Hornet. The aircraft flown by Maverick with the blue marking around the cockpit was repainted after the movie, and is now Blue Angel #1
9:04: Penny Benjamin was mentioned (but not shown) twice in the first film.
Val Kilmer actually had throat cancer and can no longer speak. His son spoke for him in the movie.
@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw correct the one speaking part was Val's actual voice
@@spike3082 Done with AI.
At the beginning of Top Gun the chief reams Mav out for two low altitude passes over air control towers and ONE ADMIRAL'S DAUGHTER... "Penny Benjamin ?" Goose whispers. And that's who the bar owner is.
That admiral was also Marty McFly’s principal.
Since 2015, Kilmer has privately had throat cancer; he had a procedure on his trachea that damaged his vocal cords to the point where he had extreme difficulty speaking. He also underwent chemotherapy and two tracheotomies.
According to the story, Duke Mitchell died in air combat over Vietnam. Different planes in the intro, and a different ship. Val can't talk. They used a computer and his son helped with the vocals. Penny Benjamin was the Admiral's daughter Mav went ballistic with in.....was mentioned in Top Gun. Rolling the plane upside down is necessary to achieve maximum response. A simple push down of the nose would fall far short. Rolling, and then when inverted, pulling "up" to achieve a much faster decent, is how that works.
Dawn: This seems impossible.
Me: It's not impossible. I used to bull's-eye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.
Are we not going to call out that Dawn's cackle is worth the price of admission.
The president in Independence Day is Bob's real life father.
Penny (Jennifer Connelly) was the Admiral's daughter, mentioned in the first Top Gun.
Maverick calls it "dogfight football...offense and defense at the same time", so apparently it's a variant of American football for which none of us knows the rules.
"None of us" ok 🙄
It's actually not anything complicated. The idea is that you send your 'bomb' (the football) into enemy territory while defending against interceptors. Both sides will practice this. It may be based on a dodgeball/handball hybrid game fighter pilots play during their training
Did you get the Easter egg? When Maverick first meets Penny(Jennifer Connely) in the bar!! Music by David Bowie plays in the background, with whom she filmed Labyrinth when she was 16.. Or the number 86, in the jukebox as a reference to the 1 film that came out in 1986
From father to son...with great mustache comes great responsibility.
Miles Teller was absolutely genius casting for Rooster!
the plane they escape in is the same type plane used in the original movie.
0:41 The fact that Dawn appreciates Old Men and the Top Gun Anthem makes me even more the Smitten Kitten.😻
I'm not sure that any awesome original has ever gotten a more amazing sequel, especially so many years later.
As far as I am aware, the most realistic flight sim for PC is called DCS.
The game itself is free, but each plane after the one with the game costs extra.
And yes, I think flying these is modern fighters is pretty difficult to do well.
You couldn't be more wrong. Flying a fighter jet is really, really easy.
@@sluglife9785yeah so easy that only 3 out of a thousand pilots in the military become jet fighter pilots.
@@sluglife9785 your "expert opinion" is appreciated...
I believe that you're living inside somebody else's brain.
He is right, it is really easy. Compared to a prop plane at least. The flying thing is not the hard part, the plane does it basically for you. The hard part is to learn all the systems, weapons, tactics, navigation etc, and combining all those with the flying to make at an effective weapon platform in stressful situations. Also withstanding the G effects is not easy. But takeoff and landing are usually the most difficult parts during a flight, and its a lot easier in a fighter jet then in a "regular" plane. Landing on a boat is ofc another thing...
At Mach 10, it would take 3 hours and 10 minutes to go around the Earth.
That’s almost unbelievable 😂
Depending on the altitude
@@eq1373 Well, anything under 45k feet is basically commercial airspace. 35k ft to 45k ft. So the SR-71 has a ceiling of 85K ft. If you are testing for Mach-10, that is where you're going to be.
Someone been on Google
@@williamc4309 It's called math. Mach 1 is 761 mph.
17:32 So you're saying this Mission is Impossible? That may be another movie...
Maverick's name is Pete Mitchell, and his dad's name was Duke Mitchell. Duke crashed his fighter jet after saving Viper. Just like with the previous film, this was made with the permission and assistance of the United States Navy. All military pilots are either Warrant Officers or Commissioned Officers
Viper never said Mavericks fahter saved him just said he knew and flew with him
Dawn Marie, thanks for another reaction video. If another bird hits your window, and if the impact doesn't kill them, put an upside-down cardboard box over top of the bird. If they are just stunned by the crash, the cardboard box will help to keep them safe from cats while the bird recuperates from the shock of hitting the window. Apparently, you can buy various things online that are advertised to be stuck to your window to prevent bird strikes. I would look for various wildlife/bird websites to find their opinions on which ones actually work. Look forward to your next reaction. (I recommend City Slickers, a comedy with cows, cowboys and wanna-be cowboys from the city).
Fun fact: When people write "Fun fact..." in the comments it's never fun, and rarely are they true facts.
Thanks for the lies.
Here’s a fun fact - you’ll be just fine, this video and its comment section won’t impact your life negatively.
THERE WAS NOOOOOO CGI IN THE MAKING OF THIS MOVIE!!!! THE NAVY LET THOMAS CRUISE FLY REAL F/A-18 SUPERHORNETS!!!!
The actor who plays Hangman plays a Navy pilot in a movie called Devotion. Highly recommend.
I think human's ability to make decisions on the spot is what makes a difference in wars.
To illustrate, there is a real life story about a tail gunner in a flying fortress in the Pacific during world war II who ran out of ammo. They were being chased by two Zeros and when it was imminent they would be gunned down, he took some emergency flares, not designed as weapons and shot them at the Zeros. He missed, but the flares got the attention of a WWII legend, Greg "Pappy" Boyington, who saw the desperate attempt, flew to gun down one of the Zeros and chase the other one away. If not by one man's ability to improvise and the other one's ability to see the unusual and react outside of the programmed situation, the flying fortress would have not being able to complete the mission.
Humans might not have the precision and ability of robots, but when it comes to critical moments where decisions make the difference, having the better trained personnel makes the difference between winning or losing a conflict.
The reason why Maverick likes to go upside down as you said is because a pilot can handle about 10 positive g's, pulling up before blacking out, but only about 5 negative g's, pushing down before redding out (to much blood being pushed into the brain). More g's means a tighter turn radius.
Max negative g is around 2-3. Not 5. That's way too much.
@@martinsv9183 I was speaking more about human endurance than the specifics of the aircraft shown in the film, while the F/A-18, and most fighter aircraft, max's out at about -3g, the typical human can handle -5g, depending on the duration before suffering injury. The aircraft are primarily optimized for high positive G maneuvers, its more of a function of design than human limitations, the carrier based F/A-18's I believe are usually rated for +7.5g, the non-carrier variants are +9g, its primarily intended to extend the lifespan of the airframe.
@@ArthurFrank-ot4or Noone can handle -5 G. You red out at 2,5-3 regardless of training. That's why the limit is there.
@@martinsv9183 ...the body cannot be trained to tolerate negative g forces. Ocular discomfort occurs almost immediately, and subconjunctival hemorrhages occur at 2-3 g. Confusion and loss of consciousness occur at 4-5 g. Ernsting J, Nicholson AN, Rainford DJ: Aviation Medicine.
"... tests eventually led to him accelerating to 1,017kph over the course of 5 seconds before coming to a stop in one second, experiencing a record transient loading of -46.2Gx. This final ride left him with temporary blindness among other injuries, but he went on to make a full recovery"
U.S. Air Force officer John Stapp, who participated in extreme deceleration tests in the 1940s-50s
Duration is the determining factor for g-loc and redout
@@ArthurFrank-ot4or ..exaxtly, it doesnt matter. So more than 2-3 negative is not realistic.
The love story is an important part of the movie. That along with being responsible for a group of young pilots teaches him that he's no longer the young renegade loner. This movie is about Maverick finally growing up.
The next Top Gun will be titled Top Gun 3: The Joyride. Geriatric Maveric take a joyride in a Top Secret flying saucer.
This channel and especially Dawn Marie does something to me...that was a song in Top Gun...Takes My Breath Away.
Little bit of trivia; the P51 Mustang that Cruise is servicing in the beginning and flying with at the end of the movie is actually his own in real life.
Mach as the measurement of the speed of sound, is pronounced "Mack", and is named from the Austrian physicist Ernst Mach.
And, at Mach 10, you'd go around Earth in about 3 to 4 hours. (It's a bit tricky to convert Mach to km/h or mph as the speed of sound is different at different heights in the atmosphere and depends on air pressure, moisture levels and so on.)
"Let's not do anymore Top Guns."
Top Gun 3 is already being worked on.
If Top Gun 3 is already being worked on, it better have Phoenix, Bob, Hangman, and Rooster in it. As far as I'm concerned, Phoenix had the best one-liners in this movie! She has to be in the 3rd movie!
Tom actually is a nice guy in public and he would be fine if you wanted to say hi, just be respectful and not try to jump on his lap while he's in the middle of dinner 🤣
Your giggling is the best 👌
A shiver moment for me: seeing those missiles up on the ridges while flying below them.
A sequel that's better than the original, is a rare thing. This movie is RARE.
I saw the original, back in '86. This exceeded the original in every possible way!
Completely Agree!
Very charitable of you wanting to save all the birds. Unfortunately, once a bird has gone through an engine, there really isn't that much to save left.
True, and its pretty bad for the bird, too.
My mom worked in the entertainment industry for over 25 years so she has a card that lets her see movies for free at theaters, and she went and saw this in the theater 18 times. EIGHTEEN times. In the theater. And has seen it easily over 40 times since having it on dvd. She’s insane
Great reaction as usual Dawn. Seeing as though Goose and Rooster call signs are already taken, maybe you could be Mother Ducker because you’d be forever evading birds. 😉😂🇦🇺💯👍
*do you get deja vu huh* Rooster and Hangman were just like Mav and Iceman in the first movie and they even shook hands the same way in the end and i’m getting teary
Kilmer’s artificially generated voice is known as synthetic voice. The approach used to create Kilmer’s synthetic voice is referred to as voice cloning that sounds just like him. ( per the studios sound engineer.)
The original was a fantastic movie, for it's time. I think this one is one of the best sequels ever, if not one of the best movies ever made. It looks back and forward. It pays off everything it sets up.
The reason the flip upside-down all the time is because of how wings generate lift. Wings always want to pull the plane "up" relative to where the pilot is sitting, due to the physics of lift. When flying normally, you can climb more quickly than you can descend by pointing down, because when doing the latter, you're fighting against lift. So by inverting the plane, you're "climbing" towards the ground.
Additionally both plane and human cope better with "down" positive G-forces than "up" negative Gs.
Agreed. 'Earth' is the best line. In second: Phoenix's 'Nice.'
I just think you're amazing!
LOL have to say though hands down your South Park movie one is literally the funniest reaction video I've ever seen, putting it high above all the ones I've ever watched. It never literally fails to have me crying lol, take good care and look after yourself girl and your family!!!!
You're amazin
"I love an old man"....i love you for that lol
In the last few years and all the movies that have have been brought out, Tom Cruise gave us a brilliant sequel to TopGun definitely a future classic
The scene at 6:51 is one of my all-time favorite scenes of any movie.
19:58 He has good reason to go upside down for maneuvers where he has to go into a sudden, very steep dive towards the earth. If he pushed the nose down that steeply while right side up, he’d be putting a lot of negative Gs on the jet and on himself. What that means is that he and the plane would be experiencing an acceleration force, equivalent to several times the force of earth’s gravity, towards the top of the plane and towards his head, rather than down towards the plane’s bottom and his legs. Pilots black out in normal heavy G forces because the blood has a harder time getting to their brains. The opposite, in negative Gs, is all of his blood wants to rush INTO his brain, which can be extremely hazardous AND can cause him to still pass out. The plane itself is designed and engineered to be able to withstand far more positive Gs than negative, and the frame will suffer damage under significantly less negative Gs than positive Gs. So, he rolls over for a fast dive because it is safer for him and for the plane.
Oh, also he can better see the ground he’s diving towards when he can see it through the whole canopy than trying to peer over the nose of the aircraft.
I flew a flight simulator at Oceanana, VA. First time ever. I crashed the thing in minutes. I kept hearing my boss yelling pull up, pull up
My Dad worked at Oceana, at that same time. He was never able to get me any stick time in a simulator, but he did get me into an A-6 simulator, to look around. It was on a weekend, and he had to do an electrical inspection on the building where it was housed.
@@RoGueNavyI worked at ONI, Office of Naval Intelligence. My boss and I went down there for an Intelligence exchange. IDR how it happened but it was something like, since you're down here, do you want to try a simulator?
@@patmurray9730 I'd have given my left arm to actually try out ANY simulator. I was completely obsessed with aircraft, in my teens. I built loads of models. One of my greatest memories, is the day after my folks and I saw "Top Gun", Dad woke me up, and took me to work with him. We went to Oceana, and he drove me to the Air Ops building. He spoke to some folks inside, then took me to the back porch, facing the flightline. He sat me down on a bench, handed me a cheap camera and a couple of rolls of film, and a wad of $1 bills for the gedunk, inside the building. I spent the majority of the day taking pics of the planes flying. I even scored some patches from the pilots! When Dad picked me up, we had an early dinner at the Ready Room, just outside the gate.
Penny Benjamin was mentioned in the 1st Top Gun as a throw away line.
Val Kilmer at his best in the movie "The Doors" (1991) with Meg Ryan.
I cannot believe how good of a casting Miles Teller was for Rooster
Pro tips... Penny is the admiral's daughter from the first movie. Hangman so impressed tom as an actor and person, he told him to ho get a pilot licence...he did! Goose learned to play the piano song, for this movie. Bob, the pilot, is real life son of Bill Pullman, who played a pilot and president in the movie Independence Day! Tom has multiple licences in real life...chaueffer, motorbike, single and two prop and single jet planes, even real estate! Hangmans ego here is a combination of iceman and maverick. They spent 30 to 90 minutes a day for months, flying for this, and had to control their own equipment, cameras, mics, etc., while in the air. Many of them ended up with jet fuel and carcinogens in their blood! The general was a test pilot in the movie, The Right Stuff and flight director in Apollo 13! The plane at the end....is Toms'!!!😮😮😮 Rooster best movie will forever be Whiplash!!! Jennifer Connelly has done so many epic movies and scenes.... her riding the quarter operated horse is a classic! But she will go down in history for the movie Labrynth!😮. I flew with some badboy pilots back in my army days, but almost all choppers, and ine A-10 guy. My regret is I never flew in a jet. Tom and I are the same age, and I met him when I was in the army when I pretty much lived in blue jeans, white tee and Aviators!!! And he was doing promo work for top gun! He got out of his limo and was shaking hands in the crowd, and he sees me, walks right over to me and says," Holy shit u look like me! Doesnt this guy look like me!"
27:02 That was the Han Solo “You’re all clear kid, now let’s blow this thing and go home!” moment.
I am 5 minutes into this reaction and I just had to say that I LOVE your evil laugh when people are doing things against their overlords wishes. BEST LAUGH EVER!!!!!! 😁
There's not enough room in Maverick's heart and also in his line of credit, which really is full of that old fighter he's been restoring. 😉
Penny existed in name only in the original movie, and was mentioned several times. Now she has been made into an actual character in the sequel. The actress who played "Charlie" in _Top Gun_ wasn't even asked to reprise her role, and I think it's because she looks like Tom Cruise's grandma now.
North Island is a place in San Diego, California (my hometown that I'm writing this from), by the San Diego Bay. It is the home of Naval Air Station (NAS) North Island, which is pretty much the birthplace of naval aviation. The "Top Gun" school used to be located at NAS Miramar, also in San Diego, but in real life it moved to NAS Fallon in Nevada some years ago. So the movie pretends that it's at NAS North Island, because NAS Miramar was taken over by the US Marine Corps. I guess the filmmakers wanted to pretend that Top Gun is still in San Diego, near the ocean and the carriers, which are docked at North Island, instead of in the middle of a desert.
I was stationed in Alaska in the military when a flock of Canadian geese brought down a C-5 Galaxy (the largest military transport plane at the time). So yes, bird strikes are real and can cause major damage and loss of life.
One of my favorite parts about this movie, was that Tom Cruise was willing to scrap the whole thing if Val Kilmer couldn't or wouldn't reprise his role as Iceman. He had no way of knowing that he would be scrapping his first ever $billion+ box office movie, but that's how much respect he had for the characters, for Val, and for the story they made together.
The Actual F18 Super Hornet used as Mavericks Plane the Single Seat with Light Blue and Black Trim was Delivered to US Navy Blue Angles as the 1st F18 Super Hornet for the Squadron when they Switched from Orginal F18 Legacy Hornets...but check out Blue Angels videos to see how close they fly
I could see in Top Gun 3 Maverick is CO of a nuclear aircraft carrier and Rooster does a fly by making Maverick spill his coffee on himself…
As someone over the age of 50 and grew up with the first movie, the 2nd movie was even better.
FACTS
We were at the beach and all of a sudden the Blue Angels come screaming across the beach and ocean. One jet came between hotel buildings sideways. They do fly so close together.
The soundtrack from this movie is ethic and it's awesome
there’s a sim that uses the real cockpit from from these jets and others called “dcs” but it basically requires you to read that manual from the beginning of the movie
Maverick can go so fast because he is a better pilot than they are. He is more skilled at the maneuvers and turns, letting him crank up the speed. This is also of course why he suggested this plan in the first place instead of something else, not to mention the fact that he's doing the job of 3 people in the process. As for why he didn't show them that it was doable in the first place, they trusted that he wouldn't suggest a flight plan that was impossible. He only resorted to stealing a plane and flying the mission when he got grounded and Cyclone was sending the pilots on a literal suicide mission just to get the job done.
The silver plane in the end is actually Tom Cruise's own aircraft.
Val Kilmers character has throat cancer and in real life Val had throat cancer and now he can only talk with the use of an electronic device that can interpret the vibrations from the throat and it spesks with an electronic voice instead of his regular voice because he is not able to talk anymore without his electronic device. They used Val Kilmers son's voice in place of Vals real voice. They actually did a great job with his voice.
This movie is very much a love-letter to the fans. My brother and I made mom mad when she was wanting to talk to us when Danger Zone kicked in, and we told her she'd have to wait till the song's over. Making people wonder if the opening is a remaster is a wonderful part of that callback vibe. How do you open a sequel to a great movie, decades after the original? Do a modern remake of the same opening. Hook in all of the fans, and attract new fans with what hooked in fans back in the day.
Lockheed actually designed and built the Darkstar prop, as if they were honestly building something for mach 10 capability. Enough people suspect that it's close enough to Lockheed's SR-73 drone (which is a successor to their famous SR-71, and has a goal of similar speeds to the Darkstar), that China actually redirected one of their spy satellites to get images of it.
The Navy gave the director and crew much more access than they had on the original Top Gun, given that Top Gun is seen as a very pro-Navy movie.
The card was not declined. She didn't actually run it. She's messing with him. Also, Penny is the admiral's daughter mentioned at the beginning of the first Top Gun. "...high speed passes over (however many) towers and one admiral's daughter." "Penny Benjamin?". Apparently, things didn't work out with Charlie, but Maverick and Penny have been on-again-off-again over the years.
What Maverick says when he realizes it's Rooster in the jet is "No, no, no...", not stammering.
Fighters can maneuver so fast and hard because they have a lot of control power in their flaps and such, relative to their size and weight. The Super Hornet in this case can't turn the hardest of all fighters, but it does roll very, very fast, using the tail fins, which are all-moving (common among supersonic fighters), and the ailerons (outboard flaps at the back of the wings).
"Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020" will allow you to Fly Maverick's F/A-18E Super Hornet from the training portion of the film (There is an official Top Gun Maverick content pack for this game), but there is no combat or weapons, this title can be played on PC and the Xbox Series X. For combat, "DCS World" is probably one of the more prevalent Flight simulators that includes and focuses on air combat, as far as official modules, I don't think they have the Super Hornet available, but they do have the F/A-18C Hornet available, which is from the same era as the first film and is the older version of fighters flown in this film. DCS World may have an official F-14 Tomcat module as well, but I'm not sure. Also there is new Microsoft Flight Simulator game releasing this year.
Yes. There may be more realitic simulators, but also much harder to learn.
I think my favorite line about this movie came from a test pilot I know who’s flown both the F/A-18 and the F-35. He said that the movie couldn’t use the F-35 because if they had, the movie would have been boring.
32:53 unfortunately, that’s part of flying. Pilots, airfields, and flying organizations do what they can to avoid bird strikes, but the birds don’t understand where they shouldn’t be and the aircraft fly too fast to be able to avoid them. 20 years ago, an F-22 hit a loon near Dobbins AFB in Atlanta. Most of the bird wound up in the exhaust nozzle. I was there working a different program as they took the nozzle apart to clean it and the smell was horrendous. It didn’t help that someone brought in a KFC bucket and put it next to the nozzle as a joke.
36:14 ultimately, war has always and will always come down to logistics. Even if war becomes robots killing robots (which I doubt will ever happen for many reasons) whichever nation is able to build the most efficient logistics network will win in the end.
I agree 100% about old movies being more special. They are more special. They were made with less regard for financial gain.
This review is bang on
I've been waiting for this for quite a while! Looking forward to the reaction!
DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) is the best simulator if you really want to try it. The game itself is free, but you have to buy additional planes like the F/A-18 Hornet which is what they were flying here in Top Gun - Maverick.
Hello Dawn Marie!😊 Time is not your enemy, Dawn. You look like a very young woman.😉 Yep, "Bird Strike" is a real thing that can happen to planes. Val Kilmer (Ice Man) had throat cancer in real life. They had to digitally alter his real voice so it was understandable in the film. The enemy was flying next gen fighter jets that are capable of fancy maneuvers, like the one they showed. That's why you are a reactor. Most people prefer this film over the original. It's good to get a different opinion.😉 They definitely wanted to satisfy peoples nostalgia for the first film. Great reactions to the very well made and acted Top Gun sequel, Dawn Marie!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
3:43 the difference is in the description of Top Gun. They added “women” to it since women weren’t aviator fighters until 1993. They also fixed a word. The original said insure instead of ensure. Tom Cruise setup a three month aviation class for the new actors so they could handle the riding in the jets. He also insisted on more actual flying and less green screen. Doing this meant the actors had to film their scenes in the cockpit. 15:04 Tom Cruise fought for Kilmer to get a role in this movie.

My biggest gripe with the 2 films (I like them both) is in the 1st one they don't launch counter measures when getting shot at. Then in the 2nd one after they re stole the tomcat back from the Russians it's loaded with counter measures?
The love interest in this one is the girl that Goose's wife was telling his last love interest about when she was saying that he went ballistic with Penny Benjamin. This girl was that same Penny Benjamin.
Fun Fact. The actors were filmed in the backseat of actual F-18 fighters. They actually got to feel what it's like for real Fighter Pilots!!!!!
Riding an F1 car is like a cow sitting on you. And flying a fighter jet is like an elephant sitting on you.
About half of the reactions to "Top Gun: Maverick" have seemed to be shocked by the "bird strike" scene. You do know that "bird strikes" have brought commercial airliners down, i.e., "the miracle on the Hudson"?
Sometimes you have to go upside-down, because generally aircraft turn upward, relative to their airframes. So if you need to go downward really fast (slow is different), then you'd turn upside-down and pitch "upward". One of the reasons is g forces, and planes are designed to take greater turning force in this direction, and pilots can also withstand them much better than the other way (with blood rushing to their heads under pressure--ouch!). Another reason is that upward visibility is far greater, and it's good to be able to see where you're going.
The sim you are looking for is "DCS World".
No she's a different woman although this woman was referred to in the original movie. Remember in the first movie when Maverick was in trouble for doing a fly by of the flight tower and its bought up that he has done tower fly bies before and he also did a fly by on one admirals daughter. Well this woman is the admiral's daughter. her name is Penny.
