I think they should still use the style of the first movie's soundtrack and build off of that continuing the feel and theme of the synth stuff as well as including classic rock stuff placed tastefully. The Righteous Brothers have a bunch of other hits. Anyhow I think the the sequel should still sound like and give off this vibe:




John 10:1-30
Romans 10:1-13

But no singing scene please. It was ok then but has been beaten to death in movies and tv since then. Usually a sign that the show is scraping the bottom of the barrel for gimmicks and hasn't got anything original for the audience to laugh at.

I can definitely see this.

Mav: 'But we have to do something!"

Wise old sympathetic indiginous type "Come with me"

Cut to wide shot of an old hangar as the doors are slid apart. Inside are two large object covered with tarps

The tarps are pulled off revealing a pair of Tomcats

Mav gives a knowing glance to his sidekick Duck

Mav "Can they fly?"


Cue after-burner takeoff and a shot of Mav with a wide smile


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Ok, the scene will be canceled, as will be the Beach Volleyball scene. Instead, there will be a 5 minute scene at the NSAWC's Officer's Pilates class (one of the last all-male bastions in the Navy). Maverick will be teaching the class. Happy? smile smile

Probably they'll go the route of some extreme sport. Rock climbing or the like.

Premise: Saudi-Arabia and Turkey try to seize the opportunity by dealing a heavy blow to Shia Islam, and are on the brink of invading Iran. The US and NATO can not really intervene due to their ties with the Saudis, and for fear of an escalation with Russia. Nevertheless, a Carrier battle group (with a MEU attached as a further deterrent) has been deployed to the Indian Ocean near the Persian Gulf.

Story: Maverick is commanding NSAWC at NAS Fallon, very close to retirement. He is supervising his last "Top Gun" class, with Goose's son being just as difficult as Maverick himself was and so on. The class is now a mix of Navy and Marines pilots, with the Navy still flying Super Hornets and the Marines already transitioned to F-35's. There will be tension between Goose's son and some other hotshot but arrogant pilot over yet another hotshot female pilot, and Maverick has to set his head straight on several occasions.

Mid-movie Volleyball game.

Shortly before the class is concluded, the pilots are being recalled to the Carrier battle group in the Gulf because tensions are high. A joint Saudi/Turkey operation against the newly pro-Western Iran is imminent.

Meanwhile, we learn that Iceman had left the Navy and is now working with a contractor that is upgrading Iran's remaining F-14's to Super Tomcat 21 status.

When the Saudi-Turkish Alliance launches their assault, the pilots of the Carrier battle group begin engaging their aircraft. Unfortunately, a Russian hacker group managed to introduce a virus into the F-35 computers, making them inoperational. Maverick, who had been visiting Iceman in Iran convinces Ice to join him leading a flight of Iranian Tomcats (and their rather inexperienced young post-coup pilots) to cover for the F-35's protecting the MEU and their sector. They arrive in the nick of time. Of course they succeed, and when technicians finally manage to get rid of the virus, the F-35's join the fray, and a Turkey shoot (pun alert !!!) begins.

They win, Saudi-Arabia and Turkey lose 95% of their air forces and have to sue for peace.

Maverick and Iceman fly off into the sunset with the Tomcats. Roll credits...to 80's rock music.

Are you guys saying that Tom Cruise doesn't sing just as good as Freddy Mercury?

I think it would be pretty cool if they started the movie with a camera pan down towards a front HUD view of Maverick with him saying "Good morning, gentlemen, the temperature is 110 degrees".

THAT they can carry over. They need to have an homage to Tom Skerritt.
And I want Michael Ironside still around busting Mavericks balls.

Since Iran operates the only flyable F-14's and then only a handful of them to be sure, it's unlikely that there will be any F-14's flying in the new movie

Unless of course they are CGI or models.

Or the Navy snubbed Rumsfeld and secretly kept a squadron of F-14D's airworthy......

A lot of things revealed in the above video by Tom Cruise!

http://www.imdb.com/news/ni61165660...&pf_rd_i=homepage&ref_=hm_nw_tp2

“Aviators are back, the need for speed. We’re going to have big, fast machines. It’s going to be a competition film, like the first one … but a progression for Maverick,” Cruise teased.

And the new official title is not Top Gun 2 BUT Top Gun: Maverick!

Sounds like they are coming from the same place we are with their treatment of it which is promising. Its being scored by the same composer so that's outstanding! I liked Tom's answer, "There's going to be jets...there's going to be jets....there's going to be jets." Yes please. Jets, noooooo drones! I'd love for them to pay homage to Skerritt and Ironside and McGillis and Tolkan. They wouldn't have to be big just small little nods to them sewn throughout the movie would be awesome. I also like the name! It sounds like they are trying to be classy and not cheesy with the vision and that makes me happy.

Actually, Tom Cruise was reluctant to answer the interviewer's 'Will there be drones?' question.

Still, I remain hopeful.

I still find it pretty staggering that the sequel will be coming out over 30 years after the original.

I think this is a damn fine idea!
Hopefully they will implement your idea after this sequel, but a prequel idea is a mighty good one!
