Top gun trailer
 

Couldn't find a thread.

You should be a two star Admiral by now... what happened?

Mother ****er... you see any two star Admirals flying around in an F-34 Raptor? No? Then shut the **** up.

----

Regardless... won't watch it. Tom Cruise can **** off and die.

“Cruise got a jump-start on the “two day engagement” on North Island because initial filming had to take place before June 1 to meet the requirements of a California financial grant.”

Only good thing about this is it may lead to Hot Shots: Part Troi.

Can't wait to see a CGI Lloyd Bridges riffing on Topper's AIDS lesions.

This movie will make me want to buy the newest Ace Combat.

F-14 tomcat in the last shot by the way.....that was nice.

Embedded

Oh hell yes!

I watched twice, came twice in my pants!

I'm a noob, how to embed?

I spy a Kawasaki h2 in there.

On the bottom right of the video box is the word share. Click the word share, a box will pop-up on the right you will see the word embed. Click on the word embed, a different window will pop-up that will have the video in it and the link to the video you are on. On the bottom right will be the word copy, click on the word copy, then go to where you are wanting to place the video and right click on your mouse, then select the paste button from the menu that appears.

I’m in. **** yeah.

Yeah, that looks like fun. I'm down.

Looks good and like something that should be seen in IMAX to get the full experience (those aerial shots look jaw dropping!)

Oh my **** I am in

Yeah. I probably will watch for the aviation scenes. Any positivity from the plot is a bonus.

Some of those shots look ridiculous

I really like that they are using 4th gen fighters. I was wondering if they were going to use a plot device to render stealth irrelevant, but they went a much better route.

I love that Val Kilmer will be reprising his role as Iceman.

No shirtless volleyball, for the love of god please no.

I'm in too....IMAX.

Curious how much of Kilmer we will see. Heard he can't talk.well due to the throat cancer.

I used to have that bike, not "That one" but another built H2 Mach 3

Because Tom recruited him into Scientology....

Super corny. Same type of scenes where hes racing a plane with his motorcycle, singing in a bar with the comrades, and playing ghey beach shirtless volleyball.

That was a sweet shot with the three F-18s going supersonic in formation

Right. A 60 year old fighter pilot. If he's a classroom instructor, maybe.

Well, its Tom Cruise.

Ed Harris looks like he is gonna be a real son of a bitch in this. Thats when he is best but your right Tom Cruise Ill wait for the release Vudu.

One seen looked like he was wearing a space helmet.

Vapor Cone. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_cone

First scene was an original Hornet retro Close Air move. “Hornet High Pop” nice touch. When we operationally tested the Hornet in the mid 80s,we introduced that tactic to the fleet to reduce ground threat exposure time.

BTW, the Navy failed the Hornet then in Operational evaluation. A7 guys didn’t like that it couldn’t carry as much as far. Tomcat guys saw no point to it for Air to Air. We Marines, flew F4s into the dirt waiting for the multi role Hornet. It’s had a hell of a run and no matter how goofy this movie may be, it’s justice for the jet’s family series to have a feature role for the Navy.

I used to own 2 sports bikes about 15 years ago, and there were ridiculous fast. Then about a year ago, I rode a buddies R1M and he rode my street glide for a quick ride. Holy shit...times have changed. R1M was insane; can't imagine what an H2 would be like full out.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_triple

I had a couple back in the day. I started with their predecessors above. The “ Triple” was explosive but had a terrible frame/ suspension for the power. You could literally feel the frame flex when balls out in a corner and I suspect that got a few guys. Got my attention and I’d back way off and guys on other bikes would pass, the out of the corner a locomotive hit its ass end and we’d repeat the series throughout. Continued poor suspension with all those bikes in my opinion.

I used to have that airplane, not "that one" but another built F-14D Super Tomcat

love the tomcat pinball machine

Makes you realize just how hulking those ol' birds were.

At the time they looked sleek and agile as hell. In that clip alone just watching it come through after seeing the shots of the Hornets makes it look like a fullback in the open field.

Saw one on a carrier tour in San Diego - they're just friggen massive.

Haha! Yeah, I could totally trade out volleyball for a softball game or something.

Design catch 22: long range interceptor performance equals more fuel equals more size. Tanking is used in any part but carrier based tankers are an issue, hence “buddy stores” tanking is primary.

The E/F models in the trailer are ironically approaching Tomcat size :

“The Super Hornet is largely a new aircraft at about 20% larger, 7,000*lb (3,200*kg) heavier empty weight, and 15,000*lb (6,800*kg) heavier maximum weight than the original Hornet. The Super Hornet carries 33% more internal fuel, increasing mission range by 41% and endurance by 50% over the "Legacy" Hornet. The empty weight of the Super Hornet is about 11,000*lb (5,000*kg) less than that of the F-14 Tomcat which it replaced, while approaching, but not matching, the F-14's payload and range.”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boei...F_Super_Hornet

Didn't realize the hornets had gotten that big.

I think it's just that widebody stance they have that gives them such a lumbering look. That's a loooooot of fuselage.

Anybody between probably 35 and 55 is gonna have a soft spot for the big fighter; it's just the era we grew up in. At least the A-10 is still fighting the good fight and the F-15 is gonna have a 50+ year service life when all is said and done. In this era of aircraft development and for a high performance fighter, that's unthinkable.

But the F-14 will almost certainly always be my favorite.

Roger.
Yeah Super Hornets are called Rhinos on the boat. Ironically same nickname F4 Phantoms had as well due to size. We called Tomcats, “Turkeys” due to thier variable geometry wings. Like a cobbler strutting and spreading.

dude couldn't get a tone because he hadn't switched to A2A missles finally figured out what the problem was and got the kill

Growlingsidewinder is the best flight sim channel btw

you could have said:

click share, click embed, copy, paste in CP post window :D

Watched trailer for the first time and thought those were F/A Super Hornets and happy to see I recognized right. Whatever Tom Cruise might be as a weirdo (side note the Scientology leader is seriously even shorter) that makes him happy he keeps bringing it. Realized over the past 10 years or so I enjoy anything he does.

Fight like you train. Switch Pig. That engagement was over at 15 miles. At the merge when -2 went to a heater to get a close range kill. Then the AIM-9 had a separate master arm ( CCU) plus the primary to avoid training mishaps.
When you hear it growl , it’s because he finally remembered and hit the CCU arm.

But there’s no kill like a gun kill. Poor guy became a training example for years.

I'm in.

Looks great.

Where was he in the trailer? I watched it twice...can't find him...

He wasn't.

Miles Teller has a major role as Gooses son and he’s barely in the trailer as well.

Side note, love that they brought back Harold Faltemyer for this. That score is iconic.

My buddy has the PSVR Ace Combat 7 setup with chair and stick and it's a lot of fun. The chair is designed to equip w/ pedals/rudders but I don't think Ace Combat is configured for a pedal setup (at this time, maybe they are, I dunno). Just wish there were more VR levels. Still a fun game. I've always liked the AC series games though.

Theyre not showing Ice Man until there's a bigger TV spot for the next trailer.

Just buzz the damn tower.

New trailer

June 26 2020

https://youtu.be/g4U4BQW9OEk

Who’s funeral in the trailer? Iceman?

Maverick flying between the other 2 F-18's made me groan.


Don't go too Hollywood with this please. The rest looked excellent.

They got a guy that looks like the offspring of Goose and Iceman

That's my guess

I had no idea Val Kilmer had cancer.

Looks like Goose's kid wants to be like Dad, and then blame Maverick for his death. (temporarily)

Groan.

My thoughts on Top Gun: the guy who developed the aircraft carrier landing sequence in the NES game was a ****ing sadist.

The punishments handed out by Zeus in Greek myth weren't as harsh as what this programmer tortured American kids with in the 80s.

Must be the same programmer that developed Battletoads. The whole !@#$ing game.

Never beat it on NES (originally) but when the emulators came out I memorized some of the tougher sequences (specifically the damn go-cart sequence) and then plugged my old NES game to beat it on the console just to say I had.

Lord that game was hard. A genuinely GREAT game, but just incredibly difficult.

NSFW due to cussing.

I could never land that damn thing. Threw the cartridge in the trash.

Chinese made film. Will boycott...

Goose comes back as a zombie and is Maverick's goofy and slow-witted side kick. Movie closes with a Maverick and Goose high fiveing after a successful air combat sortie against the aliens. When the high five connects Goose's arm falls off and both shrug and smile into the camera breaking the 4th wall.</br></br> Roll credits.</br></br>You fill in the rest.

The struggle was real

It was even worse when you overshot the carrier because for one brief moment you think you actually made it. It's like reaching the top of Everest only to have your Sherpa kick your ass off the edge a half-second later.

Theory 1: The designer was a criminal genius who contracted to make a game with four levels, but got away with making two by making it impossible to get past stage two.

Theory 2: The designer was a KGB plant trying to win the Cold War by convincing America's youth that joining the Navy was a death sentence.

Theory 3: The designer was still a little salty about Hiroshima. I get it, seventy thousand dead in a nuclear holocaust, but my god man,we did nothing to deserve this. I can just imagine this guy sitting back after finishing coding this sequence, smiling sardonically, and saying "I am become Death, destroyer of NES controllers."

I can't wait to see this.

We went to see Father Stu (good movie) today and I saw the Maverick trailer for the first time. Looks pretty good to me. Will watch.

My theory is that it was Satin test marked it up top, and seen it was diabolical for below, those going to hell will spend an eternity trying to land that thing.

I am so looking forward to watching this in the theater, but I have zero expectations for the plot and characters in it (think The Force Awakens. I bet they all sing You've Lost That Lovin Feeling at some point *cringe* ). I will be there strictly for the F-18 dogfight and flight scene porn and nothing more.

Some saying it is better than the original. Imm excited and hope it's a good movie.

Updated Rotten Tomatoes score is 97% on 97 reviews.

I keep seeing high praise.

Man, what a MASSIVE upgrade on James Tolkan.

Stinger just aged like shit. As a kid I thought he was a glass chewing badass but as an adult I just kinda cringe at what a caricature he is anytime he's on the screen.

Harris is going to steal any scene he's in.

Isn't he like 91 now?

Cant wait for this ****in movie to come out.

The in-flight footage is gonna be insane.
