"they do a really good job at making you feel like you're in the plane" thats because they shot the majority of the movie in the actual plane. An airforce pilot flew and the actors were in the backseat with like 6 or something cameras to their faces to capture all those moments you see from inside the plane.

When you realize that Glen Powell played Hangman as a parallel to the cocky Maverick from the first movie, you really enjoy his performance a lot more. Also, he was so inspired by the real flying scenes that he immediately went out after filming and earned his pilot license.

It's crazy to me that so many people called Hangman the new Iceman when this Movie came out. Like, damn it's obvious that he is a young Maverick and Rooster is his Iceman.
At Iceman's funeral, you can see the 4 jets doing a flyby and 1 of the planes veers off first. That is called the 'Missing Man Formation'. The plane veering away represents those not coming back. Always gives me the feels.

Tradition is for the second element lead (the 3rd plane) to break formation and head west into the sunset. 'Going west' is a euphemism that tracks back to pilots in World War _One._
"Do some of that pilot shit" was also a callback to the first movie. Goose said it then to Maverick, and now Rooster said it to him.
"Hangman" was supposed to be a parallel to Mav from the first movie. That way we get a bit of an outside look at Maverick's character from the first movie. That and Rooster being a bit more like Iceman (patience, risk-assessment, etc.) That makes the final moments all the more special and it all comes together in a very satisfying way. Glad you liked the film!
14:35 The Penny character is a call back from the first movie.

The movie isn’t as practical as you might think. There’s a whole lot of CGI being used
This is hands down one of the best sequels ever made, and the fact that the original is 36 years prior is just mind blowing.
There are so many little factoids about this movie. The character Penny was not in the original, but was referenced a few times. She was the Admiral’s daughter that Maverick took for a joy ride in a jet. They reference back to this when Maverick mentions he got in trouble with another Admiral at her bar. Also the Easter egg with Jennifer Connelly; when you first see her as Penny, pay attention to the song playing in the background. It is Let’s Dance by David Bowie, a homage to the Goblin King himself in Labyrinth starring 14 year old Connelly. For Val Kilmer they pulled in his actual battle with throat cancer, which I love that they did. He can’t speak anymore so they digitally added his voice for the few lines he performed. Also Tom fought tooth and nail to have him in the movie. The scenes of the actors in the jets is amazing! This is because most of them are actually flying in said jets. The actors are in the back seat, while the Navy pilots perform the stunts up front. Just look at their faces when experiencing those types of G-forces, you can’t fake that. What is great about this is that the actors have to direct themselves in this instance. They have half a dozen cameras on them and they have to memorize which ones to look at during their scenes all while dealing with the G-forces and sudden maneuvers. They went through an extensive training routine well before the first shot to get them acclimated to the G-forces and loss of spatial awareness they would experience. I highly recommend watching the making of, it’s amazing what these actors had to train for. Now for the “normal plane” at the end, this made me giggle. That is a P-51 Mustang. Probably the most famous airplane to come out of WWII. Any aviation nut would droll to own one (but have a heart attack from the maintenance and operation costs). Oh, and it is Tom Cruise’s personal mustang he owns.

This movie is kind of.a master class on how to do a sequel. They cashed in on the nostalgia but moved the story forward in a new better way. You nailed it. The original movie did not have very high stakes for the characters. This one sets up the impossible mission as a subplot that really helps the characters evolve. Genius The plane in the end that Cruise flies off with Connelly in is a WWII-restored P-51 that Tom Cruise actually owns and flies. Most of the shots of the actors in the cockpit are authentic. Shot in the back seat of real NAVY Super Hornets. The actors were their own cameramen and had to shoot their own scenes, in flight, and get the angles and the reactions correct for where they were looking. Its incredible that this is so good as it is.
I love how this movie made no mention of where the enemy is or who they are so that they wouldn't upset anyone lol.

Reactors/Editors have a big decisions on what to cut and what to leave in for both Copyright and TIME........
The DarkStar was a supersonic project that the movie producers asked Lockheed Martin to mock-up. When Maverick hit Mach 10 he was cruising at about 110,000 feet, I think. There are birds that have evolved to fly over the Himalayan mountains in Nepal and Tibet but that is still below 30,000 feet.
@BogeyTheBear

The movie studio went to Lockheed Martin asking "Can you mock up something that looks futuristic yet reachable in our day and age?" And the LM folks just reached into the bottom of their desk drawer and plopped a wrinkled 10-year old sales brochure in front of the movie guys.
This is such a specific and nerdy thing but I truly believe the mission sequence in this movie is the best edited action sequence of all time. The editor is called Eddie Hamilton and he's a genius. The way he manages to balance all 6 characters over 3 planes and we never loose track of them, we constantly can follow exactly what's going on no matter how chaotic it gets, emphasises the big air punching moments perfectly and CONSTANTLY ramps up the tension for the entire sequence. It's seriously impressive. The moment when it's all cutting faster and faster between their faces panicking as dog fighting is picking up towards the end and then suddenly cuts to a huge birds eye view of the entire fight and the missiles flying between them, gives me chills every damn time. I know it's not something most people think about while watching movies but it's worth watching that scene again with the editing in mind.

I don't think Rooster was angry at Mav because of what happened to Goose, I think all his anger at him came from the fact that he pulled his military papers, and held him back four years.
Hangman changes the music to “Slow Ride” at 8:38 because he’s constantly bagging on Rooster for being too slow lol
The "Foxtrot" mentioned when they were assigning positions for the mission refers to the type of plane they are in. There are two models of F-18 being flown in this. The E model has one seat and is the plane Maverick and Rooster flew. The F model is the two seater the others were in.

The in-flight sequences are mostly real, as Tom Cruise has pilot licenses for multiple planes, bikes, etc. The classic Mustang fighter shown in the film, is Tom Cruises own plane which he flies for pleasure.

That "normal plane" is a P-51 Mustang, one of the most iconic fighters planes of all time and pivotal in turning the tide against the Luftwaffe in the air battles of WWII. It has a maximum speed of 440 MPH and is capable of 8 G maneuvers, so I wouldn't get too cocky if I were you. 😂
I randomly watched this on a plane because I had a tight 2 hours to fill and had no expectations (never saw the original). I absolutely ADORED this movie, it felt like such a classic "bringing a motley crew together as a team" style story that I haven't seen in a while and didn't know I missed.

They did a good job of remaking this one. A lot of remakes/sequels don't properly capture the feeling of the original because they feel they need to outdo themselves. This one they just took the same formula, almost point for point in places, kept the occasional campy aspects of it, and just updated the technology and effects. Do that, toss in some fan service easter egg type stuff, and you're golden.

Things Maverick forgot to do 1. arm the ejector seats, pull the pins, turn the switch on top of his ejection switch, tell Rooster to do the same. 2. before take off, lower the flaps to take off position for more lift. 3. after he sees the altimeter start going up, raise the wheels.

After watching the VAL documentary it made his appearance in this movie 10x more hart braking. his battle with cancer made me cray and watching him come back despite the cancer was beautiful.

I've read that when Tom Cruise was approached about doing this sequel, he had one condition: bring back Val Kilmer or I'm not doing it. And that was after everything Val's been through, Tom knew exactly what was up. I have mixed opinions on Tom as a person off-screen, but that earns some respect in my book.
Top Gun 3 has been green lit !!
In military aviation they have something called “time to death”, basically it’s a formula that takes into account for altitude, speed, and reaction time. So, the closer to the ground and faster; less time to death. Higher and slower; more time to fix issues or eject to safety
The flying shots look so realistic because the actors were really in the fighters. They didn't fly them, of course, but rode in the back seat that some are equipped with, and pretended to fly them.
Brutal edit on this! Skipped loads of nice moments
Please give the Star Trek franchise a chance. 🖖🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿

I love Star Trek. It’s not for general audiences. The old ones are too philosophical, with at times very slowly paced. New ones… just suck. I can’t imagine a TNG series doing well. Best you can hope for is for her to react to one of the movies. If that’s the case, ST Beyond is your best bet.
I believe we do hear Goose's responses through the actors who speaks next dialogue, which always gives me the feels. It not lost on me when Rooster says "talk to me Dad" and Maverick responds "Come on kid." Or on the reply to Maverick is "You are where you belong."
The dog fights in this movie were spectacular
One of the best throwbacks in this movie that not everyone catches is that Penny is the Admiral's daughter that was mentioned in the first movie.
The scene where Maverick makes the run was so great in theaters. One of the top movie moments I’ve ever had for sure.

It was only after watching Pitch Meetings that I realised this is Star Wars 😂 "So Maverick and the gang have to fly down this narrow trench to hit a small exhaust port target..." "Are they doing a Star Wars?" "No, so anyway the young pilot hasn't got his targeting laser so has to do it blind, and Maverick his old mentor tells him to just feel his way and let go... and he hits the target and blows it up" "THEY ARE DOING A STAR WARS!" 😂
My number one film of 2022. That was a great year for movies.
Finally! This is one of the movies I've been waiting for. Thanks Nat!
Releasing this movie on Memorial Day right after things began to open back up after the pandemic was genius. I know people who were not fans of the original or even fans of Tom Cruise, but they went to see this movie and ended up loving it. If you ask me, we need more movies like those, just dumb, fun action movies where we can shut off our brains and lose ourselves in a world besides our own. I think the world on its own causes enough problems for people as it is. So to escape from reality for a couple of hours is fantastic. Something that’s been lacking over the last few years, especially this one.
They gave Mav all the death flags in this movie and the didn't kill anybody off during the climax, I love it.
During the Hangman Rooster bar scene I was sitting in the theater like 👀 …are they boutta smooch? During that one scene those guys had “bitter exes who still kinda have a thing for each other” vibes 😂
Remotely piloted planes are a perfect concept until the enemy figures out how to intercept the controls, take control of your planes, and use them against you. I guess it's not perfect in every way.
Very rarely do I ever say that a sequel is better than the original. Top Gun: Maverick is one of those movies
Another Great Video. At 5:10 *Maverick actually dies here, the rest is Maverick dreaming out his regrets, 'things not resolved.'*
This movie always gets me HYPED!!
The first time I watched this, I didn't notice that the mission is litterally the Death Star trench run. It's nice seeing a new interpretation of a classic.

It's a rerun of the mission in _Iron Eagle 2_ which was then a rerun of the Death Star trench run in _Star Wars._

28:09 my niece was so invested in the film that she ran screaming from the room convinced that maverick and rooster had just died
I waited 36 years for this sequel. Glad I didn't have to wait as long for your reaction to TG: Maverick. Both were worth the wait!
17:15 What Mav is doing here is using the radar lock system of the F/A-18. When another plane locks their radar on you; you hear a really loud and distinct “deedle deedle” sound. So, as Coyote wakes up he’ll hear it and react faster
Hi Nat. Big fan! Also a navy vet. I’m sure you’ll get people saying so- 2:45 Mach is a measure of speed. Mach Speed is when an object moves faster than the speed of sound. For normal, dry conditions and temperature of 68°F, this is 768 mph. Most navy and airforce craft nowadays can absolutely reach a Mach speed.
7:45 they kept the country vague, but it's most likely meant to be iran; the US Navy and the Iranian Air Force were the only two operators of the F-14 tomcat. They flew it in their war against Iraq in the 80s, and thanks to this the most successful tomcat ace was Iranian

Eso se da a entender, pues Irán es el único usuario de F-14, y además las montañas nevadas también dicen algo. Irán es un país muy montañoso con picos nevados.
This is one of my favorite movies, and now one of my favorite NattyGold reactions. Thank you!
I was 99% sure Maverick was going to die, too. They really got us good.
A good friend at my church was one of the Navy Pilots who flew the planes for the first Top Gun! It's awesome talking to him about how everything went down, and we went with him to a showing of the film and he had a ton of awesome insights after the film!
Saw this 6 times in theaters. Loved it so frickin' much. IMAX blew me away. Can't wait for the 3rd movie.
regarding the "Foxtrot" teams. The F-18 has several different versions. However the relevant versions from this movie are the F-18E and F-18F. The E model is the single seat version, and the F model (Foxtrot) is the 2-seater. version and has the targeting pod so they can lase the target for the E-model single seat plane carrying the bomb
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
one of the best movies ever made
When he said "Thank you, for saving my life." I teared up.
