r/topgun

After seeing Top Gun at the movies recently for the 40th anniversary re-release - I knew I just had to watch Top Gun Maverick on the big screen too. I hadn’t had the chance to watch it when it released. Watching it now made me think about how much Tom Cruise has learned from the Mission Impossible franchise. He’s managed the rare balance of taking the best of the structure and elements of some of the later mission impossible movies while staying true to what Top Gun is - a love letter to aviation

The movie grossed $1.495 billion in its initial release but its recent re-release pushed it to $1.5 billion. It's also the 15th movie overall to reach the mark

I took my son to see Top Gun in IMAX last Wednesday, he liked it. He wanted to see Maverick so I took him to see it in DBox on Saturday, he didn't like Maverick, and that's OK. He's five and he's allowed to have opinions. But on the way out of the theater on Saturday he said; "Dad, I'd like to see the first movie again...like we saw this one. I think it'll be better."

So I took him last night. Yeah, seeing Top Gun in DBox was definitely the way to go and I thought it was a much better and cleaner experience than Top Gun: Maverick. It's like they actually put the time in to the DBox experience with this one.

I just saw Top Gun in theaters for the first time ever. It was amazing as everyone says it was however, something struck me for the first time in my thousands of times viewing this movie.

Charlie spend the first 45 minutes of the movie convincing Maverick he is special, she doesn’t normally date students, it’s dangerous for her job, etc. etc. Then all of a sudden Maverick quits and Wolfman has her home phone number???

I lived through the 80’s. I know it was a different time but the home phone number would have been a major line to cross as well. How did Wolfman have her home number??

Ive watched Top Gun more times than I can count, but seeing it in 4DX was INTENSE! SERIOUSLY THE BEST CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD. I recommend that everyone sees it in 4DX.

Does anyone know the name of the music track that’s played in the background of the original Top Gun when maverick is at the board of inquiry and gets back in the jet after goose’s death?

This could be any experience, any re-release, anytime. I saw Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick a few times in theaters and was curious what experiences everyone else had.

When he meets Warlock and Cyclone he clarifies he was second in his top gun class, right? But Vioer tells him he has enough points to graduate - did he really actually have enough points that he was in second after screwing off for a week or two after Gooses death? And if so why didn’t Viper say he was second? Is there an explanation, am I misremembering something, or is there a continuity error here?
