@@hatakeanime1254 why would anyone give a fk about that? I have zero interest in what these people do in their own time, why are you so obsessed by it? Im here for the movies
Fun facts: Jennifer Connelly's character is referenced twice in the first film. The real life Viper makes a cameo as the old man in the bar working for Penny.
Actually the old bartender Jimmy is played by James Handy, not Pete Pettigrew (the real life Viper). This is the second comment about this I have read....not sure where they got the info, but it's not correct. Pettigrew was the guy who meets Charlie in the bar in the first Top Gun. He is not in the new movie.
Loved your reaction. Jon Hamm's character is not supposed to be "mean". He's the adult in the room. He's the Air Boss, he's in charge of not just billions of dollars of taxpayer-funded material, but of thousands of lives. I saw Top Gun Maverick 5x in the movie theatre. It was the best movie going experience of my life.
Thanks for u comment @teresa luz! I think what I meant to say in my reaction is I didn’t feel his performance was truthful and I guess in my reaction I kept saying “mean” hahahah I wish i saw this in theatres! Still might go if it’s still playing!!!! I appreciate you watching!
Not sure if you will see this comment but every aspect of the carrier scenes is real and I was there for some of it. I served on the very same ship they filmed on, towards my tail end of my time in the navy they started filming. The begning of the movie especually with them launching the planes is bare bones flight deck operations in action, none of the people on the flight deck were actors, but servicemen just doing their jobs on camera loo. The coolest thing is, Tom Cruise and the entire cast of supporting actors had to go through high G training as they were actually going up in these aircrafts to film their lines, going sometimes 800 miles an hour and pulling high G turns. The original Top Gun didnt have the camera tech to put in the cockpits, but most of the exterior shots and stunts in the original film were really shot by actual pilots doing the stunts. Here in Top Gun maverick, they actually finally had put cameras all over the cockpits. The scene where Maverick "proves" the mission can be flown was actually done, with NO CGI that was done by an actual Blue Angels Stunt pilot, Tom Cruise sat in the backseat (made it looks like hes in the front) but when the camera was pointing forward at the pilot it was an actual pilot with some hair and makeup fitted to the back of the head and the helmet on to give that sense it was actually Maverick flying. In any case, it was real and there is only about 10% CGI in the whole movie, with the explosions and some of the zoom in shots in the final showdown scene. The part that made me cry in this movie the hardest was Val Kilmers role, knowing he was fighting actual throat cancer and they wanted to show it here. The last thing that blows peoples minds is that 5th Gen fighter (Sukhoi Su-57) doing that insane hard turn as they shot their missile at it, actually did happen, no CGI to that either. The Navy reused some of the old footage from the OG topo gun of a shot of a missile being fired combined with two authorized shots of real missiles being fired in the this film.
@@guts-141 The SU-57s were also F-18 Super Hornets. If you look at the reflection of the pilots visors, you can see the four cameras set up in the back seat of one of the Hornets.
Thanks so much for this comment! I had hear about the training they had to go throu and it’s so amazing! I don’t know a lot about planes! So I appreciate the extra tid bits and fun facts! I really loved this movie it I had so much fun watching it! Thanks for watching!
Just in case someone chimes, Cruise did not ever fly a jet. Those how are all back seat shots, some of them made to look like single seat planes. GoPro cameras made a huge difference in this film. This time all in the cockpit scenes were actually in flight. In fact there were multiple cameras in the cockpit for different angles.
@@Caseytify He has "fast jet" experience other than this though as he owns and flies an L-39 jet trainer among his other toys which happen to include the P-51 you see him flying at the end.
@@mothmagic1 Big difference between L-39 trainer and F-14/F-18. There is no way an actor with a flying license would ever be allowed to fly a Mach 2 jet fighter.
I don't think MAVERICK was being a creep at all! Penny is mentioned in the original Top Gun, she's the admiral's daughter. They have a long history together. He knows her well.
However it's full of inaccuracies such as Radar guided SAMs being counter-measured by flares, GPS jamming equipment would affect the F18 just as much as the f35, low level flying at close range doesn't scramble targeting systems especially with IR seeking missiles, last of all air to air missiles usually detonate with a proximity fuse, shrapnel is more than enough to bring down a fighter jet. Regardless of all this I still love this movie and wouldn't change it.
@@itzbp9949 So there's nothing *"political"* about destroying an enemy uranium facility built in violation of a **NATO** treaty, is there? You're gonna say with a totally straight face that global **politics** has nothing to do with that mission? 🙄😒 Cut the crap. Y'all are just mad that fairy tales are being retold with non-white characters and giving women more agency than the versions you grew up with. Meanwhile, in the real world, there are literally billions of people on this planet who aren't white dudes. Get a grip.
Loved this reaction! What a great movie! One interesting thing about the F-14 before it was retired in 2007 is that it was upgraded with modern computers, a new radar, and digital flight instruments. They called it the F-14D Super Tomcat. The F-14 in the movie is one of the earlier A models. Many in the Navy today admit it was a huge mistake to retire the F-14 because they don’t have an aircraft in their arsenal with the same capabilities anymore. Even today, a fully upgraded F-14 would be one of the world’s best fighter jets. Sorry, I’m an aviation nerd 🤓
Thanks for watching! This movie was so fun and got me pretty hyper! Haha thanks for the fun facts! I appreciate cars and planes but I know nothing! Thanks for your comment!
Did you get the Easter egg? When Maverick first meets Penny(Jennifer Connely) in the bar!! Music by David Bowie plays in the background, with whom she filmed Labyrinth when she was 16.
Nice info. Did not get that. You are smart. I did wonder why it was a Bowie song when I saw it at the cinema... It felt like it has to be something, not the usual music in an american bar.
Bob is actually Bill Pullman's son. In the real world you don't get to pick a cool call sign. Usually a call sign is chosen for you, in a relates to a funny or embarrassing fact about that aviator. Bob and Hangman are about the only two realistic call signs in the movie. Real call signs are things like Mover, Mooch, or Lex. Lex (Carroll Lafon RIP) once told the story of an aviator whose real last name was Seaman. His first call sign was Sperm, which was later changed to Spurt. 😏
Reminds me of a documentary about aircraft carriers I saw, featuring some new aviators getting carrier qualified. One of them was dubbed 'Slag' after his first launch - which sounds really cool, like a mythical dragon who lives on yonder mountain or something. But in fact it stood for "screams like a girl." lol
One of the pilots in that documentary (Jell-o) now runs a RU-vid channel called Fighter Pilot Podcast, it's a fascinating look into the realities of military pilots.
LOL "I know nothing about this movie. Zero. Zilch. I don't want to know ANYTHING about it!" "Can't wait for that beach scene. Here comes Great Balls of Fire. Wonder why Jennifer Connelly is the new love interest. Here's that featurette I saw. There's that Lady Gaga song!" 😛
I worked on this film. My boss is Jared Chandler, he’s the military costumer in the credits. We made three of each Tom Cruise’s jackets and uniforms. He kept one of each in his vault. The studio had his second leather jacket and one of his flight suits. We sold one of the flight jackets for $30,000 to a collector. The other flight suit and leather jacket is in our warehouse. And we’re never selling the leather jacket.
Really! That is soooo cool!!! Thanks for watching one of my older first edits when I was first learning! I appreciate it a lot! Thanks for sharing this story!
Every student that goes through the TOPGUN program becomes a teacher. These often young LTjg's or LT's take back what they learn at the school back to their squadrons and then pass on what they learned. A wingman I had during one of my tours in Afghanistan had the patch. Hell of a pilot despite her callsign making it seem otherwise.
@@Tar-Numendil Ya Navy callsigns tend to have some sting to them. they are normally earned after an embarrassing situation. I got lucky with the callsign "Hammer" as instead of an embarrassing situation. Mine came about as a result of the other 2 ways a sign is normally earned in the USN. Officer's last name and personality, I had one goal while in the Navy and that was to hammer the enemy into nonexistence and due to my last name being what it is my squadron came up with "Hammer"
I saw it in IMAX... 100% was worth it. The entire crowd (including me) audibly cheered after a few of the scenes that were just "fk yeah!!" moments lol
super bummed about not having the great balls of fire scene in the reaction but this is one of my all time favorite movies. I remember seeing it once theaters opened after covid and i havent seen a movie like it sense. such raw power and great story telling
There is a great behind the scenes video on youtube. It shows all the training the actors had to do, and how things were filmed. The actors had to go to a Navy Bootcamp, and all had to actually learn to fly, so they knew how to react in the flight scenes (even though they weren't actually piloting in the film). Very good video.
I love Maverick announcing he's going to make the practice run and the only word in the room is a muttered "nice" from Phoenix. I don't think they were alluding to Maverick dying, rather just emphasising the complexity and danger of the mssion.
You must be Canadian, your reference to the Snowbirds gives you away. Your animation was fantastic. Call signs are given to you by your fellow pilots LOL. Enjoyed your review.

I'm gonna give this lady a comment because she made such an effort after the film was done. Acting, which is probably her field -- note these actors, mostly 2nd and 3rd tier, knew the opportunity they had here career-wise. They gave it their all. And be aware that they were required to turn on the cameras in the cockpit at proper times, arrange in flight for proper lighting, even re-apply makeup. All themselves, in the cockpit, because there was no other way. These young people made a big commitment to their roles. I actually don't know if that means they get extra points for "acting". They will definitely get extra points for future casting, because they can be relied on to work very hard if it's required of them. Tom Cruise didn't just cast actors. He made them stars. And last, the way the military works. All of these actors are Naval officers. This requires a university degree, months of training in military regulations, learning uniforms, learning appearance, learning professional courtesy. These were all O-3s. Officer ranks have titles but they are numbered, too. Ensign, Lieutenant Junior Grade (JG), Lieutenant, and. . . I won't bore you. Maverick is a Captain. That is O-6. Ranks achieved by doing assigned duties and accumulating years of experience. The next jump up from O-6 to O-7, 8 etc is to Admiral. The scene were some O-3s toss an O-6 out of a bar onto the sand. Very fun scene, but that will never ever ever happen. They would not dare. Oh, and the fight scene in the briefing room. That generally never happens, but the rush to hold them back from each other would be very real. That would be career ending. Thanks for the reaction/review. Appreciated.
Seeing the Tomcat whip some a** again was great, it could go toe to toe with the F-15 and was prematurely retired, so it was nice to see it honored the way they did. Definitely not happy about the incorrect gun sounds though…
thanks for watching one of my first editing long form videos! self taught and know nothing so thanks so much for being here!!!!! i kept this up cause I've come a long way LMAOOOOO
Great Reaction HDA. I had inklings of you being Canadian along the way...the accent, mentions of Hockey, copious swears lol...but the 'Snowbirds' reference and saying 'c'est trop!' pretty much clinched it! 😉
#HoldDownA, you're so sweet. Thank you so much for uploading this awesome movie reaction. I love your content because it's so cool, and I really enjoy watching you react to different shows and movies.
Thank you so much @brianshepherd for your kind comment! I’m trying to get more out! Especially for Halloween!!! Thanks for watching I really appreciate it !
I get what Ames is saying about John Hann, I think he played it like a bureaucrat instead of a general. He was commanding but not in the military sort of way more of a boss of an office.
Been there done that my challenge coin hit the bar last year. Of course every military member there had theirs to answer the challenge. That was a very expensive tab I will never make the mistake of having happen again
Gonna disagree about Jon Hamm, he's doing just fine here. Not sure why you think he needs to be angrier (Maybe you've seen him in too many Progressive commercials)😏?
I never saw the first movie, I saw this one in theaters when it was released, it's fuckin INCREDIBLE, and I never ever thought I'd get really emotional, but I definitely did, Tom just absolutely fuckin killed it, no doubt 💯
For high altitude recon planes like the darkstar and formerly, the SR-71, pilots wore pressurized suits since the atmospheric pressure is so low at the altitudes they operate in, if there was a depressurization of the cockpit, the pilots wouldn't just suffocate slowly, their blood would literally boil since the vapor pressure will be so low. It would kill them almost instantly. The suit was a redundant safety system.
What everyone needs to remember is that in the real world, when you graduate top gun, you are rotated back to your squadron to teach the same skills the instructors just taught you And experienced pilots with sufficient flight hours and excellent performance reports, who have gone through the course can actually apply for the naval strike fighter instructor's course . That is where they bring back graduates who are interested, and teach them the additional skills to become instructors for the schoolhouse. Not quite as hard as the selection process for the Blue Angels but very close.
Callsigns in the Navy are based on 3 things generally. Last name, the officer in question personality and most commonly an embarrassing situation. real question is what embarrassing things have you done that you're willing to share
How many people get cool callsigns? I only know Viper which is a real guy that appeared a few seconds with Charlie before she went to the rest room in Top Gun
One of the best sequels of all time! Such a great movie! Would I be sick in the head to say that this one is even better than the original, but it wouldn't be unless the first one existed?
mavericks test run part you kept saying mach 10 😂 instead of saying 10gs . theres a difference look it up 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼wont be watching anymore of your reactions 😪
“Look it up” Mach = Speed of Sound G’s = Gravitational Force (ex 5 G’s would be 5 times your body weight) See how much easier that was than being an asshole!?!?
This movie was awesome. Do you like time travel movies? One of my favorites combines time travel and aviation. The Final Countdown. (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz.
Love time travel, have you seen Predestination?? With Ethan Hawk and Sarah Snook? I’ll check that one out! I’m moving into Halloweenie movies for Oct!!!!
lmao i love the honesty and the salty reactions in comments. You SHOULD laugh at the silly aspects of movies like this, absolutely. As if this movie is a friggin masterpiece..pure cheese
You and your John Ham...wth? Best Movie I've ever seen? No. One of the top three most astounding movies I've ever seen? yes,. After years of CGI, we finally get a film where they push practical effects to the limit - and it tells. Superb.
Hmmm you mention TC's age many times, comment on whether he dye's his hair, and then hoped Penny didn't like TC's character, Maverick, amongst many other 'digs'! Hmmmm I'm guessing low key dislike for TC? That's fine however when reviewing you should avoid personal views of the actor and concentrate on the plot and characters! Hope that helps
@dazmorland don't take it to heart, I'm a hair and makeup artist and think these thoughts..LOL... I friggen loooooove Tom Cruise! thanks for watching! and leaving a comment!!!!
sorry to say but this is what happens when half your movie isnt about preaching the liberal progressive agenda.. and i like how they treated phoenix as a professional without sexualizing her
I loved the movie but the final scene was very silly. The su57 pilot uses its supermanuverability only once and then he just kinda sits there waiting to get shot down
When I heard about this movie, I was not really looking forward to it because I just knew they would do it so badly that it would make me retroactively hate the original. I was fully prepared to hate it, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I loved it.
I had the opposite reaction when I saw the trailers. I felt like this could be it. This would be a great movie unlike the time I saw Star Wars and Jurassic Sequels and damn was I right about it
Pro tips... Penny is the admiral's daughter from the first movie. Hangman so impressed tom as an actor and person, he told him to ho get a pilot licence...he did! Goose learned to play the piano song, for this movie. Bob, the pilot, is real life son of bill Pullman, who played a pilot and president in Independence Day! Tom has multiple licences in real life...chaueffer, motorbike, single and two prop and single jet planes, even real estate! Hangmans ego here is a combination of iceman and maverick. They spent 30 to 90 minutes a day for months, flying for this, and had to control their own equipment, cameras, mics, etc., while in the air. Many of them ended up with jet fuel and carcinogens in their blood! The general was a test pilot in the movie, The Right Stuff and flight director in Apollo 13! The plane at the end....is Toms'!!!😮😮😮 Rooster best movie will forever be Whiplash!!! Jennifer Connelly has done so many epic movies and scenes....hrr riding the quarter operated horse is a classic! But she will go down in history for the movie Labrynth!😮. I flew with some badboy pilots back in my army days, but almost all choppers, and ine A-10 guy. My regret is I never flew in a jet.
This is a really good movie. One of the best? Eh. Important. Wonderfully executed. Not one of the best movies but definitely in the running for best sequels🤷♂️
You’re reactions are cute. Sincerely. I’m not sure you realize penny Benjamin’s character who was mentioned in the og movie. I always wondered what she looked like, and it makes sense now.
Yes! I wasn’t sure, I had just rewatched the movie with my husband cause he had never seen top gun 😱that’s why I was like were they acquaintances?! But most views let me know.. great way to write her in! I love Jen! Thanks so much for your comment and watching my video! I really appreciate it!
I liked your natural reactions... laughter, tears, surprise and such. But your somewhat snarky comments were distracting and rude. I like your REACTIONS a lot. Make it about yourself less.
It's just like it was in '86 guys, this is a $170 million advertisement for the MIC, and so much worse. C'mon, push pause and look at the frame at 9:51. Lockheed Martin literally put their logo on the stick. To all my fellow flag wavers out there -- you're all idiots, this is a great movie only, and only, because powerful interests want you to watch it. Feel free to ask them why.
Haha I was stoked! Also edited for YT copy right neeed to talk! But also SO HYPER for this film and my first couple of RU-vid reactions so I have learnt a LOT! Thanks for watching!
@@holddowna I watch a lot of reaction videos in my old age. I feel like it is similar to watching a movie with a friend. RU-vid is that strict? I hope you have honed your reaction skills...... You may enjoy some older movies too. 👍
