Iceman got that one kill in TG, because Maverick came in and shot down those other 3 MIGs It's likely that incident put Iceman and Maverick in a good light (actual air-to-air kills are rare for the USN and USAF after the Vietnam war) and Iceman managed to parley it into a fast-track career path to Admiral, unlike Maverick So Iceman likely feels that he owes Maverick for all he managed to get today, because if it were not for Maverick he would have been shot down by 4 MIGs that day

This scene was heartbreaking. Two of the finest aviators Top Gun had ever produced sitting in the same office. Once bitter rivals, now warm friends. And the emotion and pain Mitchell showed could ONLY be shown to one of equal stature (not rank) to him. Iceman saw his pain, a pain lasting over 36 years. And in the only token of respect Ice could give such a decorated fighter pilot was "The Navy needs Maverick, the kids need Maverick, that is why I fought for you all these years." Iceman showed so much admiration for Maverick in that simple statement, knowing how much pain he himself was in. And saying this from a dying man. That is something anyone with any feeling could treasure. Maverick at that point realized he owed Ice so much. And if he pulled this mission off, it would be the thanks Ice would have deserved.

It's never really said or shown but...I think Iceman feels responsible just as much as Maverick does in Goose's death. It was HIS wake after all that caused the spin. Maverick kept telling Iceman to take the shot, but he didn't because he wanted to wait, which wasn't a bad idea. They weren't in a real combat situation after all. But the next thing he knows he hears Maverick and Goose sounding way too distressed for it not to be real and looks out the canopy glass to see his wingman going down. And all he could do was send the mayday and watch as the plane spirals out of control as it goes down. He had his problems with Maverick, but Goose wasn't a part of it.

As someone old enough to have watched the original on the big screen when it came out, I can say that it was a movie of its time. You have to understand the zeitgeist of the '70s-'80s to understand why the original movie was so important to Americans...we were coming off the "malaise era" of the '70s, and Americans wanted to be reassured that we were still the "big dog" on the block. I lived not far from Miramar, where the Top Gun school was located in those days, and I can tell you that there was palpable pride (and a little bit of relief) that we had the best pilots, equipment, and support staff in the world, and, once again, people were reassured that that was still the case. That's part of the reason the film was such a success. It was a great movie, too, great entertainment, but I cannot express to you the emotional impact that it had on ordinary Americans. To some extent, I think the new flick is being so well received for the same reason: In a world where everything seems to be falling apart (especially here at home), it's reassuring to know that we're STILL the big dog.

This by far is Tom's best dramatic performance in recent memory. His acting throughout the movie conveys a man tortured by guilt all his life after he lost his best friend. It's is so heartfelt you really feel sympathy for his pain. And he pulled it off with relatively minimal dialogue at that.

For all the cool movies he makes, one could forget that Tom Cruise is a good actor. And this one here with Mr Kilmer....🥺...whew...

Nice to see Val Kilmer speaking. God bless him. He's very talented. ❣❣🙏🏻

Val Kilmer is still the most underrated actor. To still pull off this scene in an almost silent capacity just shows his talent. The Academy still owes him one for Tombstone FYI.

It's time to let go... That hit me hard. Not only in the context of the scene but my own life as well. Who knew Top Gun would be giving me a massive epiphany. Incredible scene...

1:16 I LOVE the double meaning of this line, since we also know that Tom Cruise would not have made this movie if Val Kilmer hadn't agreed, or was unable, to reprise his role as Iceman!

I was in tears when they hugged. Thanks for the memories.

So nice to see Tom turn in a performance beyond what's expected of him nowadays, and it's in service of one of the most touching and moving reunions. Val will always be a legend.

He was doing well as a dramatic actor honestly during the 90s; when he routinely competed for globes and Oscars. His problem (which he finally grew out of in Collateral) was that he was prone to overacting. But since then, he’s developed such a great sense of timing, naturalism, and nuance, and now the guy absolutely shines when he has to actually act. It’s crazy to think that even when he eventually slows down from all the crazy action, he’ll still have arguably his most promising turn yet as a dramatic actor to look forward to.

As emotional as this scene is, Val Kilmer looks really happy at 2:35. Love this scene and the movie

For the two of them to stand there and do that scene after all those years and everything that they've been through. I truly believe that if Val Kilmer had died in real life at the filming the movie he would have died happy. Because he got that moment.

They cannot know how much this scene means to us. I couldn't avoid my tears when realised they had been friends for all this time and Iceman always got his back. Maverick lost his best friend that he will never forget but still, he gained another lifelong friend which started out rival. This is so touching and when he died... Ughhh

This is the part i teared up when i watch on screen. The touching moment between two former fighter pilots. The Compassion....Respect and Honor. I am so glad they allow ICE MAN to be included in the movie.

this scene had me sobbing, I watched the first top gun a decade ago, when I was 15 years old and now we get a really heartfelt moment between the two, it was sweet of iceman for protecting maverick all this time.

I thank this movie for not destroying the characters of Ice Man and Maverick. Any other movie would’ve made the character of callsign Phoenix a super pilot that can do no wrong and is superior in every way to every other pilot and much better than Maverick. But instead she’s just part of the group and is kind of a likeable character. Her, Rooster, Hangman and the rest of the pilots could carry a next movie if done right. Plus Maverick gets to fly one last mission while also having a heartfelt send off to Ice Man that keeps his dignity and integrity as a character that has achieved a resolution and completed his arc. Good job writers. 👍

You don't have to drag one thing down just to hype another up. If you like something about the scene, just say that. This film has nothing to do with Marvel

This scene alone was worth the price of admission. I can only imagine how high emotions were running on the set when this was filmed. I loved that Kilmer was given the chance to do this; show how his reality and fiction can be coming from the same source. Great respect for him and his craft, and the first time I've seen Cruise look like he was genuinely experiencing grief.

Such great acting by both in this scene. Val Kilmer is amazingly emotive with his eyes. The guy is one of the greatest actors ever.

"It's a nice moment, don't ruin it." What a line ! 😄

This scene really gut punched me. It was a great tribute for Val Kilmer. I also love that he typed on the computer because it is a great nod to the actor in real life because of his vocal chords.

*_"This is a Nice Moment. Let's not Ruin it." ❤😂❤_* *_Top Gun!! Nuff Said!_*

Something about two people starting off as opponents/enemies, and then later gaining each other's respect and becoming friends always gets me, and here it was executed perfectly! Love that they went this way with the characters!

_"One last thing... who's the better pilot? You or me?"_ _"This is a nice moment. Let's not ruin it."_ The last words they ever said to each other. Once rivals, now friends. All the way to the very end. *R.I.P Iceman.*

The music at 2:29 got me. The scene mirrors the discussion Maverick and his instructor Viper had in the first part.

One of the greatest and saddest scenes of all time

You can see despite of their acting, how much respect and sympathy have one for the other. This scene even projecting Val's real life situation, was a breath taking..

Happy sad to see them both. Happy seeing their friendship, sad seeing Iceman (rather Val ) having trouble talking. Both nailed this scene and that last part, truly friends teasing each other

2:18 mark after they stand up. You can see what appears to be the Top Gun winner’s plaque over Maverick’s shoulder. A visual reminder of how they became close friends. Battled (practiced) against each other only to fight the enemy together and protect the other to return safely. Most powerful scene in the whole sequel for the diehard fans given Kilmer’s real life cancer diagnosis.

"You are still dangerous ". "You can be my wingman anytime".

This movie restored my faith in the 21st century.

The level of character development and emotion shown to these legacy characters in this scene was truly something else. Not even franchise films (Marvel or Star Wars) could do that.

"This is a nice moment, let's not ruin it" OMG.... So much emotion packed in that statement and the seemingly casual response ! I was that generation and got old too. So many memories from my golden and immemorable time in the 80's and 90's. I can relate to the lifetime of emotions packed in a few seconds there !

flawless? they should have ended it with maverick dying when he saved the kid. that being the impetus for him to understand find out why and understand what he did and what he was going through. it's those life lessons taught to him and the realizations that allow rooster to break through his own barriers and grow, and those lessons allow him to succeed on a final mission not this contrived fast n furious nonsense that was the last 25 minutes of the show :P

アイスマンの渋さと格好良さがたまらない。

I kind of look at it that way, though Ice didn't cause the ejection seat/canopy failure that ultimately killed him. However, a good man would feel responsible for being even vaguely part of that. And I definitely like the take that he felt a responsibility to fly top cover for Maverick after that.

​@andrewwaldock while it was ultimately a fluke accident, the events leading up to it were a result of Maverick and Iceman being more concerned about beating each other than having each other's back(i.e. Mav pushing too hard just so he could show Ice up and not giving him space, and Ice being stubborn to the point where he didn't pull up till the last possible second where Mav and Goose got caught in the jet wash.)

When Iceman said to maverick: the navy needs maverick. The kid needs maverick give me goosebumps

Did anyone else tear up in this scene?

I started tearing up just at Iceman's face at 0:25. Something about the way he's looking at Maverick - compassionate and wise, totally without judgment, seeing him in his pain and confusion and being right there with him. What a beautiful scene.

Rivals in the first movie, brothers in this one. I was emotional the very moment I saw Ice's admiral portrait.

This scene very emotional two great actors brought a tear to my eye to hear Val speak even after his cancer

SOME GREAT ACTORS DONT NEED TO SPEAK ..VAL KILMER IS THAT ACTOR.A TRUE LEGEND.

Val has been through so much these past years, and to bring him back not hiding everything he's suffered really goes to show class in Tom's part.

No matter how many times I watch this scene, it gets me EVERY TIME. When Maverick starts tearing up and then Ice saying what he said to Mav. This scene is beautiful 😭😭

This scene between Maverick and Iceman sells this entire film emotionally. Not just fighter jocks kicking the tires and lighting the fires. This is the fate that can await young Naval Aviators and Flight Officers like the group that Maverick is leading.

OMG this is so emotional especially when you know Val Kilmer is actually very ill. Cherish your health, cherish your loved ones, cherish your life.

Exactly. The emotions are real and the scene isn’t broken by some lame joke. The moment of levity is at the end where it belongs. A nice laugh after a heavy moment can work really well as demonstrated here. Unlike other movies that have jokes in the middle of intense or heavy scenes. Let scenes breath and let the actors show that they can, in fact, act.
