Tom Cruise gives the finger to a russian pilot | Top Gun | CLIP 

Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

Mig 2 left his wingman...you never ever leave your comrade behind.

>gets missile lock >doesn't leave >enemy pilot gives him the middle finger >leaves

Fun fact, neither this movie or the new Top Gun: Maverick ever actually mention the adversary country. As this movie was right around the end of the Cold War, they never tried making Russia the enemy. But everyone just calls the enemy Russia because it’s easy and it does make sense.

I just find it funny that he has the camera with him. Like I could imagine this being the only scenario where he use the camera.

Fun fact: The person that played the mig pilot actually smiled When goose took a picture

I just noticed something for the first time. At 2:16 the callsigns stenciled on the F-14 in frame say Maverick/Merlin. In the original draft of the movie's script, Goose was Cougar's RIO and Merlin (earlier called Wizard, I believe) was Maverick's (as Goose was the best RIO in the squadron paired with the then "best pilot"), and they got paired together when Cougar turned in his wings. Amazing what high definition brings out. Also, whoever's in the back seat in that shot is wearing Maverick's helmet. Yet at 2:41, so can clearly see Pete Mitchell and Nick Bradshaw mirrored under the canopy.

Love it when people are like "Obviously they were Russians, they were flying MiGs". Ummmm you know other countries have MiGs? Just like other countries have F-16s?

Cougar requested permission to shoot back😂 while he can’t even shake off the MiG.

Mig-28 pilot seeing Mav flip him off: man I just wanted to say hi, fuck this I’m going home 😢

That Mig had missle lock forever, no wonder Cougar was freaked out in the next scene.

I miss Goose :( my heart broke when he died and i got so sad when we got to see Rooster look just like his dad. I love Rooster too, he has the attitude of a real pilot and he's just like Goose but also in his own way

At 1:02 Mav is DEFINITELY in some type of insane roll. That is a wicked roll rate on the artificial horizon lololol

still to this fay i can't tell whether the russian pilot smiled back

I wonder if that guy would’ve still done missile lock on Cougar if Maverick hadn’t done that to his wingman. Also wish there was some type of way they could’ve told us that they fought them at the end also. Would’ve been a nice callback to the beginning of the movie

This one one of my favorite clips; in part 2 some found this hard to believe when they were explaining it

"Mig 28s" gets me everytime

no buddy, Mav's idea of fun is going closer to lightspeed. as close as he can ever get.

I love to play this scene while blasting my ears away with the engine sounds

0:17 Notice how that red marking on the radar looks an awful like a silhouette of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek

I love black F-5E Tigers with Soviet stars, 10/10

Maverick fr loves to go upside down on top of other planes canopy-to-canopy

Iceman: “bullsh*t”

Soviet* They're not just Russians. They're also Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Moldovans, Kazakhs, Armenians, etc.

Goose is hilarious in this scene lmao 🤣 I love these 2 ❤

The most top maverick scene ever in top gun

That scene is the peak of the movie. change my mind.

TopGun movie was a recruitment project for the U.S Air Force. ”Maverick” (Tom Cruise) recruited more pilots than the military itself after people saw the movie.

The Navy pilot who flew as the "Russian" in the MiG was actually Sandy Winnefeld who was the vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff from 2011-2015. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_A._Winnefeld,_Jr.

YES!!!

It's hard to imagine this is a real job people actually have

I love this one😭😭😭😭

😂Lol. I love it when a plan comes together.

2:32 my favorite 😂

You crack all of us up.

These aren't russian pilots. These are unnamed enemy pilots.

I lost him in the Sun, and I am too stupid to use the Visor.... Ähhhh 🌞🌞🌞😅😅😅

Fun fact, the F5s were not black, they were painted black with a “plastidip” type of paint

Maverick’s philosophy in dealing with “foreign relations.” 😂

“Cougar?”

if i were the Mig pilot, I would have shown him two middle fingers back, 2X the power!!!!

Their actually Korean MiGs, they have a star on their make the same one on the flag. Yet some people aren’t aviation geeks and know this so it’s fine if some think their Russian, but the star on the mask means there Korean.

I love Gooses' 'Is this your idea of fun Mav?'

That's ma boy I got that same bird Before west Virginia Good ya see ya tom c.

I know nobody asked or cares, but in these scene, my dad’s CEO on the USS Abraham Lincoln was the Russian pilot getting flipped off.

You may like to know that in both this film and the new Top Gun, the name of the county that they are fighting is never actually mentioned.

Goose: Is this your idea of fun, Mav? Me: Well, you took a photo!

Hey man, It works great and without any problems.

We don't know they're Russian, They might be Chinese or North Korean & I know MiG is Russian but they do buy some of their planes.

2:39 Greetings.

The best part of the dogfight scenes in TG1 is how they repeat everything twice. The best part of the dogfight scenes in TG1 is how they repeat everything twice. I dont know why they do it. I dont know why they do it. It must increase the intensity effect of the scene. It must increase the intensity effect of the scene.

At the time this was filmed, those were soviet pilots.

Don't leave your wingman.

Those migs look just like F-5s, that's weird, lol.

Man those mig 28s are awesome😂 Love the movie bug calling f5s mig 28s is soooo annoying

When mav takes a pic of the emy pilot he looked so pissed off 😂

Rogue Nation pilot

2:55 “this is a great shot Mav, I should be a photographer”

2:39: GREETINGS 🖕😂😂😂

Nobody identified them as Russian….

Mig 2 left his comrade. Legend says he got to Russia and was banished from it.

The most iconic scene in top gun ** *

Peter "Maverick" Mitchell performs the Double Sundae. Raditz would be proud if Piccolo didn't kill him.

Because I was inverted🛩

Don’t think, just do

I WAS LITERALLY SEARCHING THIS SCENE IN TOP GUN MAVERICK BRO 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

2:42 Watch The Birdie

It was put in the mail on August 2012 ... Bond 007 .......

How do they not have glasses or visors in the sun I can’t even drive like that

US in Hollywood vs US soldier in real life....Vietnam😂

Who said anything about russian/sovjet pilots?

You do know that these migs ain’t Russian but North Korean?

btw wasn't it a f-5 rather than mig?

Fun fact: maverick was actually fighting North Korea not russia in topgun

have to say Tomcat looks good but Tiger is good looking too...

For the last time, the top gun pilots were trying to blow up the Uranium bunker. Meaning the enemy country was trying to develop nuclear bombs, and don’t have them yet. that means THEY WERE NOT FIGHTING RUSSIA

When monarch has had enough of crimson 1

Good thing it wasn’t a balloon, Maverick wouldn’t stand a chance

We all know those aren't Mig-28s. Its just the US Navy using F5 Tigers

reality: russian fighter farts on US drone

how can he be top gun when he got shot him self you dont wont to know wot happed to the other one gods work 👍🙏👁

Mig-28??? Looks like F-5 tigers to me.

In my mind I think that the Russian pilot was saying "wow you got this dude"

Bro the enemy had he’s eyes closed when goose took the shot I can’t tell if he’s pissy or happy 💀

We are clean. Sladeski

man i wish they actually had MIGs on their sets but sadly definately no nation was just gonna give up their (at the time) 'soviet' jets at the time so we get F5s instead

the enemy isnt russian but korean

Top Gun 1 I'm 14, it's fun. I'm 51 now.

That wasn't a Mig it was a F-5

Wait lmao finally realized those are just F5 now that i grew up

I heard they are actually Korean

Fun fact. In the early drafts the "Enemy Nation" was supposed to actually be North Korea

Do not fire until after your shot dead

“Because I was inverted”

Only in movies US pilots can do stunts like this.

"No actual russians were harmed in this scene"

i like how they call the russian planes "mig 28s" even though in fact the "migs" are american f-5s, not only that, but the mig 28 never existed

First this is not even mig fighter This is f5 and it was meant for china not Russia as i believe even though the sign on plane is red star

Never mind the fact the tail fins would hit the other plane. 😂

I’m confused. Those are f5s.
