I'm honestly just amazed at the stupidity of the general public to actually believe Tom Cruise is actually flying the jets in the movie.... like do people think he was actually flying the F-14s in the original film too!?!?! Everywhere this trailer is posted on youtube there's a bunch of mouth breathers touting how Tom Cruise convinced the Navy to allow him to actually fly all the scenes himself.... nope I swear society is getting dumber with each generation.

In the case of Tom Cruise I guess it's somewhat understandable though - he has done some really insane stuff himself in his movies...

It does snow in the Middle East, and they even have some fairly dense forests in some parts.

Though I am sure he did not fly in the movie, since then he has acquired a multi-engine pilots license and frequently pilots his nearly half dozen aircraft including a P-51 Mustang. The man really is amazing except for his involvement in Scientology.

He learned to pilot a chopper just for the one scene in MI. He's a good pilot. Regardless of the oddity of scientology, the guy does give 100% to whatever he does. I respect that, and he does turn out some of the best movies.

Whacko Scientology aside the man's got a serious set of stones...

Those MI helicopter scenes were great. In this clip Tom speaks to the aerial filming for Top Gun 2 and it sounds pretty exciting. I hope it turns out to be quite the spectacle. Tom says Maverick is a love letter to aviation too so I think we're in for a treat. With his accumulated filming know how combined with what sounds like a solid partnership with the Navy may give us a high quality aviation film with great aerial photography that hopefully is as good as Final Countdown and Top Gun. I didn't catch it the first time but I guess that was Goose's son playing at the piano in the trailer? I also love how they used the Top Gun theme in the trailer.

Tom Cruise is very wealthy of course but he's one of the absolute hardest working actors in Hollywood today.

He has definitely gone waaaaaay over the top with his scientology stuff, but he is indeed an impressive man in that he does all his stunts, flies his helicopter shots, and that he owns his own Mustang. The last fact alone makes him a discerning gentleman! wink


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!

Doesnt the strap slip down just as he pulls hard diving inverted over the top of the mountain? If so... it's G's pulling the straps down... but really why are they loose?

I was wondering why folks are mentioning the straps too. It looks like he is really in that cockpit and pulling Gs and that the G force has pulled down those straps almost around his shoulders. Maybe they should not be that loose but that doesn't mean its some sort of movie goof. I'm not understanding why that's being mentioned. If they were too loose wouldn't the pilot just take time to re-tighten them upon finding that they are slipping? In the mean time, those Gs are holding him into his seat I would think.

Im excited to see the movie... on netflix.

Could it not be because it's a high g maneuver and he's being compressed and pushed down into the seat? It's not like those are auto retracting straps like in a car.
