He was so scared for Rooster because this mission was so suicidal that it would be risky even for him! So if he had to push his to the absolute limit and beyond to just barely clear it, what chance did Rooster have, especially when the sim training doesn’t even include the part after the bombing where they need to dodge SAMs? They didn’t include the training for that because they knew people would die - and Rooster would have died were it not for Maverick taking the hit for him.

I've never been a huge Tom Cruise fan, but his attention to detail and determination to succeed is unquestioned. The fact that insists on doing a lot of his own stunts and doing them exactly the right way shows a lot. Those scenes of him in the back seat during the canyon run and the desert climb out are something else. The grunts and groans are real and the pilot who flew those flights with him said Cruise to those G's like a trooper. Almost 50 years ago I was lucky enough to get a ride in the back seat of an F-105 Thud at an airshow at McGuire AFB in New Jersey and it was an experience I will never forget. The pilot didn't do anything wild except for one climb that took something out of me. 20 years later I took my first flying lessons and passed the qualification test and got my ticket. I belonged to a flying club and had a lot of fun until 2002 when I had my first heart attack. But it was a great experience while it lasted.

This scene is perfect because even with little to no words spoken, it sums up everything of who Maverick is. This test run is literally saving the lives of the junior pilots and he knows this. Hence the conversation he had previously with Penny. This scene also ties in with Iceman's conversation reminding him that the Navy needs him. Maverick's skills, his unconventional tactics and not playing by the rules is the very reason why no other pilot could have pulled this off but him.

Maverick sitting in the cockpit like Thanos: “FINE, I’LL DO IT MYSELF.”

One of my favorite scene of all time, not only is it just purely nuts from an immersion standpoint, but it manages to say so much with few words actually spoken. This is the point where Rooster realizes that Maverick isn't holding him back because he wants to, he just isn't ready. As Hangman says, "a man flies like Maverick, or a man does not come back". How they managed to convey this important character development in a couple minutes with a crazy jet flight sequence simultaneously is why this is easily the best movie this year and ranks among the top movies of my lifetime.

It was Roosters moment of realization that he wasn't anywhere Maverick's level, and that Maverick constantly pushing him isn't out of spite, but that he doesn't have what it takes, at least not yet. He has to go beyond his limits, not lose time on thinking, but to just go off pure instinct. "Ah man flies like Maverick, or a man does not come back" finally sets in.

John Hamm is great in this scene, too. With just a few expressions you can see he's annoyed at Maverick undermining his authority but the fighter ace in him is just excited to see if Maverick can pull it off.

The aviators actually flying those F-18s are freaking amazing. My hat's off to the actors as well, they may not have been flying the aircraft, but they're indeed strapped in with the aviator for the shots from inside the cockpit. Pulling even 5Gs isn't as easy as other films make it look. With them in the plane for real, you get to see how difficult, and truly dangerous it can be. The idea that your handling of the plane can be as deadly to you as hostile fire is driven home by how Tom's face is practically dragged off his skull just by maneuvering lol.

The Hornet. Still one of my favourites, in all her variants past and current.

Putting real G's on an actor's face, in a real F-18......just effing mind blowing and groundbreaking.....

This was the first movie I've been to where people actually cheered. Real effects, writers that dont attack the fans, makes a good movie. Who would've guessed?

I've watched this segment countless times. It's easy to get lost in each of the pilots inching forward in their seats as Maverick races toward the target. Your heart races along with theirs. Yet, the most endearing moment is at the end of this clip where Warrant Officer Hondo shakes his head resignedly, knowing full well that Maverick just "volunteered" for the almost suicidal mission... the acknowledgement that he's about to lose a dear friend. That little gesture speaks volumes... about the storyline, yet also about the craft of the director and actor, Joseph Kosinski and Bashir Salahuddin, respectively. Well done. I'll be interested to see what happens with US military pilot enrollments in the coming years because of this movie. Yeah, yeah... I get it: drones are taking over. Still, there'll be a need for a hot shot in the seat, and America needs the best of the best in that seat. Great move!

Rooster’s grudge against Maverick was more about the fact that Maverick pulled Rooster’s papers from the Navy when he first applied.

Nah Maverick was too reckless In the first movie. He constantly put him and his comrades at risk because of his ego. He was bound to get someone hurt at some point even if he was technically cleared off wrongdoing for Goose's death.

@@johngregory4801 Yeah I'm not an aviation expert or here to argue about what caused his plane to crash. My point is that he just had a reckless style of flying and breaking the rules. Sooner or later stuff like that leads to accidents. That's the whole reason Iceman never liked him in the first movie. It wasn't a personal grudge, he just felt Maverick "was dangerous" and he had a point.

Exactly

One of the best scenes from one of the best movies released lately. I can honestly say I will watch this film for many years to come and still enjoy the same scenes over and over. Currently in my top 10 and am so glad they did this, soon as I saw the first 5 minutes I knew I would love this movie - the director knew exactly what we wanted and gave it to us on a platter. Rooster was such a great addition to the movie - almost felt like goose was kind of there. I miss Goose's character so was very happy to see Rooster there. A+ and again I say I f***ing love this movie!!!

Brought to you by the fighter jock that did the gutsiest move Wolfman ever saw.

I really wish they could have e brought back some of the other characters from Maverick’s class in ‘86. Especially during Ice’s funeral, would have been nice to see Wolfman, Slider, Cougar or even Viper or Jester make a cameo. Other than that it was a great movie.

@@robertdurant7934 I really thought that we would get to see or hear what happened to Merlin (Mav's RIO at the climax of Top Gun 1). I would have been happy to see Tim Robbins again. Maybe he could have been a co-owner of the Bar Penny worked at and they could have met up near the end when he asks where she is.

Love watching these clips. AWESOME MOVIE

Love how they showed a veteran pilot proving it can be done. Solo at that. Damn.....

3:46 Chief knew exactly then MAV was going on mission, knew someone wasn’t coming back and knew maverick would make sure it was himself instead of his crew.

I can watch this movie 10.000 times...

I like how, even though they've been embarrassed and put through the ringer by Maverick, the pilots accept the difficulty of his tests as what they need to match up to. They know that lowering expectations isn't good for them.

While the team is grinning, you can see "Cyclone" intently taking in every data point. Nothing else exists except what he's watching.

I will never get tired of watching this. Even now I’m in the feels

Best scene. Went to the movies 6 times for this

For me, this is the best iconic scene in this movie.

Maverick is the true ace.

The only way to get the job done is to show how to get it done. One hell of a show. My hats off to the men and ladies who fly these machines. Thank you for your service.

Boss Cyclone was pissed. Aviator Cyclone was impressed.

This was a great great movie. I wish it was still in my local AMC. I'd go watch it again.

We still need a few Maverick types in our military to break a few rules and push a few boundaries, consequences be damned. God bless em all.

Best 4 minutes in the entire movie!! Loved this scene

The Felon fight was the real show stealer.

Never thought this movie was going to be as great as it was. I miss seeing it.

I'm reminded of a story of about 40-50 years ago, how a glider pilot, George Moffat, already considered tops in the world, did a whole systemic take on his flying to go even faster. Literally shaving off a second here and there returned large gains in time. This is what people who have done anything for a long time and stick with it, do. It is how car motorcycle racers become faster. Practice and repetition are your friends

To my fellow American Veterans, thank you for your service to our Great Nation! This film, instilled my belief in the future of our military. I just hope Biden doesn’t destroy everything that we have worked for. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You’re welcome. God Bess the USA.

This was literally the most intense scene of the movie. Edge of your seat type stuff, the whole freaking way. In the space of 2 minutes and 15 seconds Maverick changed his squad into believers.

What is lost in the comments, and indicative of his call sign Maverick 'wild un-breakable horse', is the drive and courage to go against the grain because you know you are right. Not much of that exists in the military today, they have bred it out of our leaders.

Damn...really says it all. Wasn't sure if Hangman grinning in the beginning was because he was going yeah right or oh yeah, he will do it but that damn at the end was so awesome!!

Warlock conveys the feeling of the room with subtle fist pump.

Best movie of 2022 hands down so far.

Hangman's expression at 3:10 is just great "I can't believe you're actually going to make this" ♥️

Hangman was taken down a peg when he got the push ups, but right here we see him in awe of the master.

When I first saw this movie I thought it was good, when it got to this scene I was convinced it was epic.

I wish Maverick had done this and returned to his role as instructor. While I enjoyed seeing Maverick fly, it would have been a great full circle moment for him to watch his protege get the job done after being inspired by their mentor.

I would go see this in a theater again in a heartbeat.

Probably the best film scene ever made

I was lucky enough to get a ride in a F-15B while in the Air Force in the mid 80's and I can attest to just how strenuous a ride like that is. I was in great shape in my early 20's and I hurt for three days after that flight. Absolutely unbelievable how a 48,000 lb piece of machinery can move the way it does. Every Rollercoaster in the world is a kiddy ride in comparison.
