Wow they really put Cruise and the cast in the actual F-18 Super Hornets for filming! Thought it was all the latest CGI. Although no doubt there is still a lot of CGI in it.

Stunning the Navy authorized this? I guess the original Top Gun was great for Naval recruitment?

This also explains the fighter pilot face (stretched probably from all the extreme Gs ) that Tom seems to be getting lately.

Wonder how his inner Thetan handled the g-forces?

Wow!

All that money, and this, too?

As opposed to my feelings towards the new Star Wars, I caught the trailer for this when I went to see Ford vs Ferrari and am really intrigued. No matter your personal feelings about Tom Cruise, he certainly understands the medium of moving pictures and rarely fails to deliver an entertaining flick.

Sure it's ridiculous that thirty years later he's still flying fighters and is only a captain, but, hey, don't think about it too much!

Tom Cruise never called me racist on Twitter.

I did see in passing at the grocery store checkout, one of those gossip rags had the headline on the cover that Cruise has left Scientology. No idea how legit that is.

“Sure it’s ridiculous that thirty years later he’s still flying fighters...”

Not as ridiculous as it is going to be if they want us to believe 2019’s Val Kilmer could still squeeze into a cockpit!

The original 'Top Gear' was a re-hash of the storyline of 'An Officer and a Gentleman,' only it took place after flight school, whereas AOAAG was before.

Boy meets girl.

Boy gets girl.

Boy loses girl.

Boy loses best friend to horrific circumstances.

Boy gets girl back.

... and they all live happily ever after (except the one who died).

Samie-samie.

Tom Cruise is the one actor i give a pass to.
I really like most of his movies.

Weird because i like a lot of De Nero movies as well but i would have zero problem throwing that d-bag off of a tall bridge if i ever met the runt..

Regarding a post above yea i saw that headline about Cruise ditching Scientology in the supermarket.
I hope it’s true but i really can’t believe it.

“The original ‘Top Gear’ “

Top Gear is entirely different. ;<)

[trisham]

I hear you. He does make great action movies.

Looking forward to this, but the timing just doesn’t work. Pete Mitchell was probably commissioned in 1979-1980 and as a Captain, mandatory retirement would be 30 years, meaning retirement in 2009-2010. Interested to see if they backdate the story or go with the standard suspended disbelief since it’s Hollywood. Anyway, should be good fun.

Except for his mummy remake.

That was...unfortunate.

[trisham]

I didn’t see that one, fortunately, I guess.

[Kickass Conservative]

Tom Cruise owns and flies a (2 seater) P-51 Mustang.

[setter]

I watch his movies because he never pushes his political view. Based upon tidbits I think he leans conservative.

[mewzilla]

It had some interesting tweaks to the premise, but ultimately...meh.

For the original Top Gun, the Navy allowed them to film ONE missile launch from an F-14. You can see in all the fight scenes it's the same missile launch.

For this one they went all out because Top Gun was the single greatest recruiting tool the Navy ever had.

Even better than The Village People's "In the Navy"? ;)
