Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you all so much for 1 million views! As you can see I don't post on CZcams often so this is a huge milestone for this single video; if you want to see more content please let me know in the replies! ❤️❤️
Just watched this yesterday and watched it again now! I don’t have any videos to reccomend. Maybe do the same you did with this but with another movie and or song. But just make the videos you want to make is fine! Congrats on 1 mill
Tadah H O L L Y W O O D movie magic The F-18 is not the best fighter in the US those are flown by the US Air Force they need to compensate for the NAVY having all the best pilots.
If anyone can sequence and isolate the original scene's audio except for the music... Hearing the afterburners fire off when the music kicks in would be just be 'chef's kiss' Magnificent.
I suspect he or she would have done it as many times as needed, if you watch the airshow routine this is pretty standard for them. They push it a lot further than the Thunderbirds, and I've seen both many times. It helps that I'm within pretty easy driving range of two featuring airshows that aren't very expensive.
@@WiseguyThreeOne then you have the sceen from the bad point break where they squirel suit down the mountians and one of the guys was so close to the ground at top speed, he knocked the grass over...they shot that like 15-20 times. The stunt cordinator said it was a better than 50% chance one of the jumpers wound lawn dart, they said fuck it. It's in the directors commentary if you want to hear it.
@Technicallyaddicted Tom cruise didn't actually fly the plane though. That's what he's saying. He's in the backseat, the real pilot is in front of him doing all the work. The navy would absolutely not allow tom cruise to take the controls of a plane worth that much.
Uh no@@Technicallyaddicted No non-military personnel are ever allowed to be in control of any government military assets without being sworn into the military. Direct Quote from the producers of the movie: "Us film producers wanted to proceed with a scene that showed Cruise flying the F18 jet. However, the film crew was denied permission by the US Navy and the US government in their bid to have the famous actor fly the actual fighter used in the shot." Bruckheimer then goes on to elaborate that the flight wing that maintains that the US Navy's jets ultimately denied Cruise's requests to fly the F18 Super Hornet, which boasts a price tag in excess of $70 million because he wasn't a certified F18 pilot or an actual member of the military. However with the assistance of skilled editing, the action sequences are convincing to even the best-trained eye. Cruise did end up flying more than a dozen sorties for the new movie, but a navy pilot was always in complete control. Pentagon military regulations bar all non-military trained personnel from ever controlling a Defense Department asset other than small arms in a preapproved training scenario, according to Glen Roberts, the chief of the Pentagon's Legal Department.
This flat out kicks ASS! Allen Collins wrote that guitar solo sitting around in his bedroom when he was 16 years old. He was in a band with hhi buddies who would become Lynyrd Skynyrd. To hear this to the flught scene here us incredible!
What makes this scene in particular so heavy hitting is the shit they gave Maverick prior to it "All you've taught them so far is that its not possible" And Maverick was like "..Good point. Hold my beer." It was a moment where Maverick realised he had to lead by example and physically show them what his expectation was of them. So not only could they see it for themselves but also so they could be proven that what was being asked of them was doable.
I will be playing this continuously on a dedicated monitor 24/7 in my home. It's not well known but playing "Free Bird" will actually increase a fighter's speed and rate of climb, as well as improve the pilot's reactions and g-stamina.
There's actually scientific proof that good music improves pain tolerance while one is listening to it. So yeah. Freebird is scientifically proven to improve pain tolerance at the very least.
This movie blew me away. No matter what you say about Tom's private life his dedication to cinema is incredible. I mean he can hold his breath for nearly 6 minutes, sky diving, base jumping, stunt helicopter and airplane, motorcycles ,cars, and boats. You name it . The things he does to entertain us is top class. May he continue to delight us. 🙏
I used to work with a guy in the Air Guard who was a backseat in an F-4s. He said his favorite place in the USA was a certain ridge, that when the pilot crossed the peak, inverted, and then pulled down all they could see was the side of a mountain and they roared downward. Sort of like what happened near the end of this.
I do love this scene. It is a case of not just showing it is possible to do it in the time he has asked but that he can do it faster than the time has asked giving the team that extra wiggle room.
didn't know how badly i needed to see this until i did. What a f*cking phenomenal movie!! And of course, THANK you for discovering and sharing this beautiful synchronization between classics! cheers ✌
Lynard Skynyrd throws this video into full Afterburner+ after my cup of coffee and a little cleaning and breakfast setup then listen to this wild party song from the Rock and Roll era.# Thank you
Best remake of the attack on the Death Star ever, almost wish Maverick had said “It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters. Seriously though I loved Top Gun 2, thanks Tom.
100% sure they wanted this song playing in the movie, they just couldn't get the rights, so they left it in the hands of future editors to do this you sir have fulfilled the dreams of everyone who worked on that movie, and I salute you
I don't know why they wouldn't have been able to get the rights. Lynyrd Skynyrd are so patriotic they would have loved to have their song in the movie.
2:01 Every single time I watch this scene (and I saw it a considerable amount of times) I can hear Warlock say "Ain't that some shit..." with this one look. Charles Parnell just owns the frame for that moment. Also, cool edit.
I hate to break it to you but it's not actually real. It's about as realistic as him being able to single handedly take off from an air force base in a $65m plane without anyone noticing anything.
1st off its footage of an actual pilot flying an actual plane 100ft off the ground 2nd off, the base has just been bombed to fuck no one going to notice the 2 guys dressed as fighter pilots heading to a hanger
@@MrFuzzwuzzle You're a bit stupid really aren't you. No one is disputing that the footage is taken from a real plane that's flying. But I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it's a film, it isn't real and no one flew around that canyon in one go and in that time. Tom Cruise certainly didn't. Even stupid people can understand that but in your case, let me know which part of it doesn't make sense. Idiot
What i don’t understand is how does he get half way out before the bombs have hit the target but he drops them before pulling up bombs dont fall that slow lol
@@polarprobe6600 They are laser guided bombs. They would still drop off with the same speed as the plane, because thats how momentum works, but they would instantly start losing speed. So there is no logical explanation as to why the bombs only hit the target once hes almost out of the pull again - unless they would be dropped with parachutes, which they didnt.
I really don't know who you are but you put together the ultimate video with a combination of an FA-18 during maneuvers and Allen Collins ripping it on Freebird with his Gibson Explorer! Great job!
I was working in eastern Oregon one summer in one of the national forests. I happened to be in an open area in the hills when I heard a roar. I looked and here was a fighter jet flying low between two hills. I could see the pilot as the plane went by.
We would often go a few miles up White's creek by Cottage Grove lake and party looking toward Eugene. Sometimes jets would fly right over our heads close like you're mentioning. That and FM rock? So much entertainment.
this is the type of music/attitude i have when im trying something difficult. serious music just doesnt hit me like it seems to hit others. i can do hard shit with a smile on my face with this. thanks
Sending maverick to do the mission is the most logical path to success. However….. F35 and the growler could in fact do this mission…with a lot less chance of failure.
@@BullGator-kd6ge it's a movie, Tom is an actor, his literal job is to get paid to act his part to make the movie happen, people can watch documentaries if they want to see real pilots doing their thing

The F-18 is not the best fighter in the US those are flown by the US Air Force they need to compensate for the NAVY having all the best pilots.
First the church fight scene in "Kingsman", now another equally badass use of "Free Bird."
Free Bird is badass enough on its own, especially when the vocals run out and its just jamming for several minutes with increasing speed.
FUCKING LOVE your comment!! You’re are 100% on that. Especially in films made with it the decade!
YES INDEED!!!
Was thinking the exact same thing😂
Nice thought!
😂
It's pretty fun, but "badass" is stretching it a bit too far. Listening to Cruise handling the aircraft, that's badass af.
would u like to see it?

One thing lacking about Maverick is the soundtrack is weak. Lady Gaga's song sucked.
Not only does it fit the scene but its that tiny omage to the decade that the original came out in, the 80s
It was at that moment they all realized, Mav really is THAT guy.
talk is cheap, Whiskey costs money.

Kudos to the pilot who did that whole run wearing Maverick's helmet, he got a lot of story to tell to his kids and grandkids
This would have been so fitting if they actually put this in the movie
Thinking the same thing as the video was playing. This should have been the original soundtrack for the scene.
was expecting this song

Um NO!!! The raw footage with sound was AWESOME! The music overlay on these clips is so much worse.

Sad for th ground crew and security for letting Maverick fly without authorization. but double RIP to maintenance, that Jet ain't flying anytime soon.
