Top Gun 2 Production begins


Recommended Posts

Sorry to be a buzzkill. But I hope this doesn't cost another pilot his life in filming like Art Scholl.

Probably not, with the state of CGI and whatnot, but I can't watch the original without thinking about Art.

For a US Navy film?

 

C'mon EA/Dice are ruining both WW1 and WW2 history with their stupid Battlefield games, I guess Hollywood can pretty much do the same and force a female amputee pilot as MC flying in a freaking Rafale while fighting against Best Korea ADF-01 Falken with Pixy in the backseat

Looking around the web at commentary about the TG2 photo I'm amazed at the foundationless speculations, umm, I mean, conclusions people are drawing from it.

It is a picture of the character looking toward an F-18, that's it, period, there is no 33rd degree esoteric conspiracy theory meaning in it.

Or maybe I'm just blind to hidden mystical messages because I have autism.

looks like the Super Bug's finally gonna take the center stage... unless the Navy allows the F-35C to be featured...

 

The first Behind Enemy Lines with Owen Wilson had it up front and close. Pretty darn good filming too.

Not knowing anything about the movie myself, I would assume there will be good Super Hornet footage.  I was reading a while back that Tom Cruise was not going to do the film if it was CGI aircraft...only real footage. I am hoping for some goof F-5 or F-16 footage from Fallon myself!

Statuesque Tom Cruise had to sit on phone books so he could be seen over the canopy rail when sitting in the seat of the Tomcat in TG1

 

Thirty years later phone books are extinct.  Guess they will have to use CGI to elevate Big Tom in TG2.

Nah, just sitting on his wallet will suffice :)

 

Or his ego....

Is that his original helmet? I'm surprised his head can still fit in it after all his success.🤑

Highly unlikely.

Maybe they'll use a barber booster seat?

They'll just use a booster seat from McDonald's this time around.:thumbsup:

Does the Navy have "up-or-out" rules?  If so, what's the absolute latest year main character Pete "Maverick" Mitchell could still be a Captain in the Navy, if he was a Lieutenant in 1986?  😎

 

Dear God, don't make him an admiral.... :doh:
