The US Military's involvement in the production and casting Anthony Edwards, Meg Ryan, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, and additional players. Documentary from Top Gun 1986 Blu-ray
Tom is very right about the casting, especially Val Kilmer. I saw Top Gun Maverick and just watching the two unite was emotional with Kilmer having throat cancer and still putting on a good show.
Val Kilmer should have been way bigger than he is, such a good actor and loads of screen presence, I know he has had issues but Iceman and Doc Holliday are iconic roles.
