i dont think its maverk in the f14......i think its a new pilot....this looks way too close to ace combat, so it would make sense

Maverick may have been shot down and involved in some escape & evasion here, so perhaps he steals an enemy Tomcat at some point?

Bring it on. It looks awesome! Like others have said, Top Gun couldn’t have been that bad, since everyone seems to still like it after 30 years. Cheesy? Over-the-top? Heck Yeah, but still entertaining and charming. What more do you need?

Even looks like they managed to sneak in a scene where they are playing with the boys, too hahaha

I bet that’s Tom’s own Mustang in that one scene.

Oh, and look at the short glimpse of that weird-looking helmet. Pressure suit? Or stealing an Iranian Tomcat?

Definitely feeling the need for speed now.


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

I suspect I'm not the only one who became a little emotional at the last bit in trailer. #%&*$# you Maverick!

Looks incredible

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Cruise a little old to be a Fighter pilot? I mean isn't there some age restriction for active duty pilots?

He's over 50 so you are correct but you know this is Hollywood.

Remember "The Big Red One"? Lee Marvin was in his 50's and playing a Staff Sergeant in the US Army. smile

Excellent points.

How many Oscar winning films from the 80's are now totally or mostly forgotten today? A lot.


"Top Gun" is one of the most often quoted movies in American pop culture EVER.

The baddies will be from some generic non-Muslim, non-Asian country. Hollywood doesn't want to risk offending Muslims and they sure as hell can't afford to offend the Chinese.

He will be sitting up a little higher in the cockpit because of his roid donut.

The way Hollywood has been lately, I thought for sure he would be fighting a bunch of neo-Nazi's flying upgraded ME262's

Let's hope and pray really hard that Tom doesn't sing in this one.

Good catch, they were sliding. Hahahahaha. Wouldn't be Top Gun without a teeny bit of cheese. But we're fans, regardless.

A teeny bit? Top Gun is chock full of 80's cheese but it was done in a very memorable and funny manner. That's key!

So they took a bottle a cheez whiz and forced us to open our mouths... but we liked it! :P


And we get Jennifer Connelly to admire. She's not what she was in "The Hot Spot" (#%&*$# good movie, btw, directed by Dennis Hopper), but still very easy on the eyes.

Fixed that for ya. thumbsup



All you did was mis-quote me to say

"Nuh-uh"

You just blabbed on about "art" and now you discard it. Words words words words words. It boils down to "you like it". That's fine. But it doesn't mean it's a good movie.
