Why does his jacket have a Taiwan flag on in in the first place?

AVG "Blood Chit."

Military support for Taiwan and its sovereignty vis-a-vis China was stout in the Reagan era, such that when the original Top Gun was filmed, edited and released, the only question was authenticity. Real “Mavericks” were wearing that patch in support of Taiwan, so the movie version did too.

It’s better than the first, which I do like. It’s the best movie in years.

Throwback to American volunteers who flew combat missions for the Kuomintang in ‘41, ‘42.

Pretty sure he anchor’s about 20% of the tattoo industry as well —

Lots of history behind our alliance with the Taiwanese, including Vietnam. Our base there was referred to as “CCK” among aircrews.

Paramount + streaming service was counting on the new Star Trek shows but they all are bombing because of ‘wokeness’.
They now depend on ‘Yellowstone’ and it’s many spinoffs as from what I have read do not have this ‘wokeness’ disease.

We’ve all gone to movies for decades with hundreds of actors, directors, producers involved in other cults. Scientology is no worse than the others. The others have just been around longer and have become more mainstream.

They, too, will be doing a lot of stuttering before Christ on “that great gettin’ up morning”.

So lighten up.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy; but I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven;

NO I won’t lighten up when this dweeb has led many to eternal destruction and ruined many lives in this world as well!!! Sweeping this under the rug only encourages these freaks and does nothing to help his victims!

LeBron needs Chinese slave labor to make his shoes and merchandize to keep the money rolling in. Tom Cruise doesn’t need China for shart.

I think I’ll go see it on the big screen. It’s a heck of a drive for me but maybe next time I have to head in to town I’ll see a matinee showing. I’ll give Cruise my money for this.

It would be a cold day in hell before I would even consider watching one of that lunatic’s movies.

Best quote I've heard about the film: "My wife wanted to know why we were bombing Norway."

Because they very intelligently didn't disclose which is the bad guy country, this film will eventually rake in cash from the REAL bad guys. Now THAT is AMERICA.

Ha ha! Yeah, I caught that, too. Was breaking my neck trying to figure out the enemy wing insignias and also trying to figure out who was given a Russian made ka52 gunship. Of course, the repurposed US fighter was probably a leave behind from Joe Biden's Afghanistan.
