@@pb4ugo2bed84 wait, what? They're being forced to remake this movie because there wasn't any representation of the LGBTQ community in it? Really? Are you serious? Are they really that upset about it?? This is a movie about the return of a military hero. There really isn't a place for the LGBTQ community in the movie anyway. Its just a bunch of rookies, one of which is female, who are training to perform a near impossible mission. I don't have anything against the LGBTQ community, I really don't l. In fact I have a lot of respect for them. But seriously, can we just make a movie without people getting offended when genders aren't represented? Its getting to the point of being ridiculous. People are getting really anal about this, and it seriously has to stop. It is a MOVIE. Entertainment. Not politics.

First he scoffs, then he smiles as if he thinks Mav will fail and wants some entertainment, then as Maverick drops his bombs he's intensely focused on whats happening, before finally saying 'Damn' in respect of what he's just seen. Glen Powell did such a great job, Hangman could so easily have come across as any other arrogant jock.

Also a great job by Jon Hamm here. In Cyclone's expression at 1:00 and 1:21, he might be feeling angry, frustrated, confused, and you can see all those things, but he also looks hopeful. Up to now the mission has seemed impossible, and Maverick may be defying his orders but he's also about to show whether the mission is even possible, and he has no choice but to root for him. Then at 3:30, his 'damn...' expression. Again he's frustrated, also impressed, annoyed at Maverick's cockiness, deflated and resound to the idea that the mission can only go forward with Maverick as the leader pre-empting the following scene. He does a great job at making the most from the little that he's given here, and generally bringing nuance and a human side to a character that on paper could have been a bit one-dimensional.

Warlock's wry smile was the perfect way to start that scene. Out of everyone in the room, he was the only one who knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Maverick was perfectly capable of doing exactly what he said he would. His expression was an amusing way to say, "These kids are about to get schooled" without having to say a single word. Throughout the whole movie Warlock was the strongest link between Maverick's world and the big Navy, the one man who could see both sides. His character was perfectly cast and perfectly acted, a delight to watch in every scene.

Rooster and Hangman each embodied aspects of Iceman and Maverick. Maverick was trying to live up to the legacy/notoriety of his dead father, couldn't get into Annapolis because of BS. Like Rooster. At the beginning of the original movie, Maverick was also kind of a loner who only cared about himself and Goose. A cocky glory hound like Hangman. Iceman followed procedure, aimed for perfection, like Hangman. But also he was a team player who wouldn't abandon his wingman, like Rooster. In fact, go back to Viper and Jester. Very different guys but the pairing was a lot like the other pairs.

My favorite part is Hangman's body language. At 1:22 you can see him settle into his chair like he's expecting Maverick to fail, just like they all did, like HE did. There is a cockiness to it that fits his character so well. After all, he's the best pilot, even if the rest are willing to admit it. By 3:06 his whole posture has changed; he's on the edge of his seat watching someone do what they all thought was impossible, and in less time. And by the end, there's just that quiet "damn" as he comes to grip with the realization that he ISN'T the best pilot. This dude's whole world changed in 2m and 15 sec.

And Hangman is man enough to accept it and roll with it. The dude might be an arrogant ass at times. But this, and his later honest and real concern for Maverick and Rooster - almost desperate to be allowed to go to their aid, shows his true character. He’s a jerk. But he’s a jerk with a heart of gold. He reminds me a lot of Major Charles Winchester from the TV show MASH. If you’ve seen any of that classic show, you might agree that the parallel is there.

That said, it's an action movie, it's unapologetically pro-American, and it's unapologetically pro-US military.

If i am to be proven wrong, i’d be happy to. From an artistic point of view, both acting and musically, everything was rather perfect with The Greatest Showman wasn’t it, but the oscars sidelined that one too.

No Hangman is definitely Maverick. The wreckless and cocky attitude is something Iceman never had, and instead pointed that out to Maverick in the first movie. “I don’t like you because you’re unsafe”. It has the same vibe as Rooster saying “The only place you’ll lead anyone is an early grave” to Hangman

She knows as much as they all know based on parameters they either do it Mavs way and have better chance of making it home or they do it Adm Simpsons way and have to take their chances against next gen fighters and probably all die with missiles as well.

Maverick did not memorize the course that they did, Maverick is going faster, harder, and better than any of them did.

Congress cannot certify election until ALL states have certified. Just like a state cannot certify unless 100% of their counties certify, the same is true of a national election with the states themselves. As Trump hasn't conceded, he now has a right to contest the entire election and that will mean the remaining 49 states will have to conduct a full forensic audit as a result. Why do you think so many states are visiting AZ for the audit right now, including states that supposedly already went Trump and didn't have contested election issues? They know what is coming. Do you all remember prior to the 2018 election Trump signed an EO13848 making national elections a matter of national security? >>>Now put two and two together. If even ONE state shows fraud it calls into question the results >>>of the entire election. Being a matter of national security now puts it under the purview of >>>who as forensic audits are done state to state? If you answered the military you are on the right track.

The reason he wasn't promoted is exactly the same reason that John Hamm's character was, Maverick was never into playing it safe. He knew that the only way to get out alive at all was his way. Doing it Admiral Simpson's way would have gotten them all killed. One other point for me is that watching this movie brought back memories of simpler times when a movie was a movie, good or bad, and it wasn't made to get someone's message across to you.

Yep - that's real G-Forces. Something the original Top Gun wasn't capable of portraying. The technical details on how they filmed inside the cockpits are fascinating viewing if you can find them on KZhead. In summary - the cameras - specifically the LENSES of the cameras (because the actual BODY of the camera with the FILM is actually somewhere else in the plane's modified structure) got small enough and durable enough to be placed inside the cockpit in the correct fashion to capture the actor. And - SIMULTANEOUSLY - Capture an "over the shoulder" view of the ACTUAL pilot flying the plane in the FRONT seat! Any time the camera switches from showing Tom Cruises helmeted face and the scenery receding behind him - to showing that over-the-shoulder shot of "his" helmet from the rear and the oncoming view - what you are seeing is the actual Navy Pilot with a duplicate "Maverick" helmet. Both cameras were recording at the same time. The choice of edit timing was done later in post production. But it's all 100% real footage! Absolute MAD RESPECT for Cruise to do it this way!

@@pb4ugo2bed84 wait, what? They're being forced to remake this movie because there wasn't any representation of the LGBTQ community in it? Really? Are you serious? Are they really that upset about it?? This is a movie about the return of a military hero. There really isn't a place for the LGBTQ community in the movie anyway. Its just a bunch of rookies, one of which is female, who are training to perform a near impossible mission. I don't have anything against the LGBTQ community, I really don't l. In fact I have a lot of respect for them. But seriously, can we just make a movie without people getting offended when genders aren't represented? Its getting to the point of being ridiculous. People are getting really anal about this, and it seriously has to stop. It is a MOVIE. Entertainment. Not politics.

That's because he just needed to hit the target. What mattered later in the film was penetrating the target.
@@jamesm568 The Whole idea of the shed/tube on the target range was that it was actually the same size as the target,.
I like how Mav did this not because he wanted to show he was the best or that he was right. He did it because he wanted all of these young pilots to make it home.
That and to prove to Cyclone and Warlock that it CAN be done.
And to prove that it will be a box office hit
In combat, you have no idea if you will ever see home again. But, while training for combat, you might not ever know if you trained as hard as you ever could.
He did it to give them hope, to show them that it can be done.
@@Ranger215able yea that's what OP said numbnuts
I love how you can see Hangman's attitude change as Mav makes his way through this. First he scoffs, then he smiles as if he thinks Mav will fail and wants some entertainment, then as Maverick drops his bombs he's intensely focused on whats happening, before finally saying 'Damn' in respect of what he's just seen. Glen Powell did such a great job, Hangman could so easily have come across as any other arrogant jock.

I visited my mom, who is terrified of flying, over xmas and watched this movie with her. Having my mom, who can not see any aircraft on a screen without a panick attack, jumping up from the couch and screaming 'you can do it Mav' might be the most joyful thing i have witnessed in my life
I loaned my copy of the movie to my co-worker who is a big movie buff. His wife, not so much. It was both of their first times watching Top Gun: Maverick. When he returned the movie to me, he said, “I owe you a huge thank you for this!” He then described how him AND his wife were on the edge of their seats during all of the really intense moments of the film. I absolutely love how this movie can captivate anyone!
What an amazing memory you'll always have now. I did the same in the theater.😊
That just made me cry ❤❤❤❤
this put a smile on my face. :)
Congrats to mom 🎉
What I love about this scene is Hangman's reaction. Even he, the most arrogant douchebag of the group is humbled by the level of Maverick's skill. Glen Powell did an amazing job in this movie.
LOL
He did indeed. More to the point - Hangman is willing to BE humble. To acknowledge greater skill than his own. He got put in his place - but he's not angry about it at all. Just... "Damn."
Hangman was certainly written deeper than just another "prideful guy to beat" stereotype. From what I saw, he's the type of guy who really only respects those who are inarguably better than him, the fact that Maverick is the only one who is definitely fuels his arrogance.
Also a great job by Jon Hamm here. In Cyclone's expression at 1:00 and 1:21, he might be feeling angry, frustrated, confused, and you can see all those things, but he also looks hopeful. Up to now the mission has seemed impossible, and Maverick may be defying his orders but he's also about to show whether the mission is even possible, and he has no choice but to root for him. Then at 3:30, his 'damn...' expression. Again he's frustrated, also impressed, annoyed at Maverick's cockiness, deflated and resound to the idea that the mission can only go forward with Maverick as the leader pre-empting the following scene. He does a great job at making the most from the little that he's given here, and generally bringing nuance and a human side to a character that on paper could have been a bit one-dimensional.
Warlock's wry smile was the perfect way to start that scene. Out of everyone in the room, he was the only one who knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Maverick was perfectly capable of doing exactly what he said he would. His expression was an amusing way to say, "These kids are about to get schooled" without having to say a single word. Throughout the whole movie Warlock was the strongest link between Maverick's world and the big Navy, the one man who could see both sides. His character was perfectly cast and perfectly acted, a delight to watch in every scene.
Facts!
Also his look when he realized the pilots didn't like the change of plans.
@@jjbowe They knew anyone on the mission would not be coming back. You have to give people hope, even if it's slim.

He believed in Maverick all along despite what his superiors thought. Some people can see greatness even through its flaws. Some can’t.
This scene is one of the many reasons I love this movie. The legacy character takes matters into his own hands and comes out on top.

Exactly where this movie failed... the trainees were supposed to be top gun pilots. They were worse than rookies.
I love how Rooster finally begins to realize that his Dad flew with a freaking terror of the skies, and was probably safer up there than driving in his own car, had it not been for a stupid malfunction. I think he begins to understand, Maverick being this incredible feels just as robbed if not more for the death of Goose.
One of the great things about this scene to the students is that none of them pushed themselves this hard during their runs, the man showed them there was another level they needed to reach.

No, the Department of Defense prohibit civilians from operating US military equipments. Tom's flying in the WSO seat while a real Navy pilot flies it in front.

Give it up for a man THAT passionate about the craft of filmmaking and dedicated to giving all of us his absolute best as both director and actor! He might be crazy. But he’s crazy GOOD! 👍😎
The cinematography of this is just insane. It kept you on the edge of your seat for the entire time. Movie making is an art, every detail, sound bite, every frame counts. What this movie achieved is just spectacular.
Tony Scott would have been proud
I never get tired of this scene
I love Hangman expressions. Firstly - he’s arrogantly thinking - “Mav can’t do this”. Secondly - he’s humbling thinking - “oh my gosh, Mav is going to do this”. Lastly - he’s stunned thinking - “how the hell did Mav just do that with time to spare…DAMN”. Love it.
Hangman is basically Maverick in the first movie.
Hangman's character arc is subtle (because he's not a main character) but rewarding if you pay attention.
@@DrClawizdead Hangman is more like Iceman. If you remember in Top Gun when Maverick first came across Iceman from a distance in the bar, Goose told Maverick; “Mav, wanna know who the best is? That’s Ihim. Iceman… It’s the way he flies, ice cold, no mistakes. Just wears you down until you get bored and frustrated, do something stupid and he’s got you”.
That's the difference. A professional will tell you why it can't be done. The best in their profession won't tell you why until they've done it already.
Rooster and Hangman each embodied aspects of Iceman and Maverick. Maverick was trying to live up to the legacy/notoriety of his dead father, couldn't get into Annapolis because of BS. Like Rooster. At the beginning of the original movie, Maverick was also kind of a loner who only cared about himself and Goose. A cocky glory hound like Hangman. Iceman followed procedure, aimed for perfection, like Hangman. But also he was a team player who wouldn't abandon his wingman, like Rooster. In fact, go back to Viper and Jester. Very different guys but the pairing was a lot like the other pairs.
My favorite part is Hangman's body language. At 1:22 you can see him settle into his chair like he's expecting Maverick to fail, just like they all did, like HE did. There is a cockiness to it that fits his character so well. After all, he's the best pilot, even if the rest are willing to admit it. By 3:06 his whole posture has changed; he's on the edge of his seat watching someone do what they all thought was impossible, and in less time. And by the end, there's just that quiet "damn" as he comes to grip with the realization that he ISN'T the best pilot. This dude's whole world changed in 2m and 15 sec.
And Hangman is man enough to accept it and roll with it. The dude might be an arrogant ass at times. But this, and his later honest and real concern for Maverick and Rooster - almost desperate to be allowed to go to their aid, shows his true character. He’s a jerk. But he’s a jerk with a heart of gold. He reminds me a lot of Major Charles Winchester from the TV show MASH. If you’ve seen any of that classic show, you might agree that the parallel is there.
@@logandarklighter Hangman could just disobey and take off but that could cost him his job but its worth it

“Let him cook”
Hangman’s “dam” at the end is so well executed just one word conveys such respect and excitement of seeing that done. Awesome scene.
Thats one of my favorite lines of the whole film, just because it was so well done.
Yep. And earlier in the scene while Mav was making the run, his facial expression showed that same sediment.
DamN
Had to show respect to Maverick at this point. The fossil just proved to every Top Gun aviator here that it can be done. They just have to rely on themselves to do it.
You can definitely have too much dialog. Sometimes the less said the more impact. A perfectly executed "damn" was the only thing needed here
Honestly, one of the best movie scenes of all time. I get tingles every time I watch it. This is movie magic, right here.
I love John Hamm's reaction too. Without saying words he said what needed to be said. You can tell he was impressed, and at the same time like WTF man. All of the expressions on tje characters were perfect.
He said so much with just his face. Having that stony, intense look of not sure if Maverick could do it and what does it mean if he does. Then at 3:18, that slight change of expression says he knows the bomb is going to be on time, on target, and knows what he has to do next.
I like how, beyond asking who's piloting, and even if he is seething with anger at his insubordination, he doesn't go out to try and ground Maverick, but is actually just as curious to see whether Maverick can actually pull it off. He doesn't put the mission above his rank and welcomes any chance to show it can be done.
Putting the actual actors into actual planes and filming their reactions to the G-forces makes these flying sequences so realistic, this movie deserves some kind of Oscar. Best picture, best director, something. It deserves an award, for sure. It's a great movie. I didn't even like the first one much, but this one is absolutely stellar.
Its more CGI than you think, but its so advanced at this stage you can barely tell and that's a good thing
@@harryc1971 Practically no CGI in the film, you have to see the making off
@@tomforce20 the dogfight sequence at the end was cgi there's no way russia is gonna give them an su-57.
It should absolutely clean house on the technical awards (sound design, visual effects, editing), but that's about it. Don't get me wrong: I was thrilled that this movie was FAR beyond better than I expected. That said, it's an action movie, it's unapologetically pro-American, and it's unapologetically pro-US military. That's three strikes against the Academy ever allowing it into any other category, and they'd hate it just for being any one of those things.
The Oscars is now a left wing nutjob. Not even resembling what it was before in the times of Jurassic Park, Titanic, or LOTR. This film is pro US, and considered right-wing by many (even though it’s apolitical in nature, many leftists consider neutrality as being right-wing), so i doubt it would be winning anything from best picture, director, or actor. If i am to be proven wrong, i’d be happy to. From an artistic point of view, both acting and musically, everything was rather perfect with The Greatest Showman wasn’t it, but the oscars sidelined that one too. Oscars are becoming the Grammy’s now, trash and worthless.
You can tell at 1:22, Hangman's WAITING for that moment since joining the class and at 3:37 he finally acknowledged on how skilled Maverick is.
Hangman while arrogant and a bit of a prick, he isn't too proud to acknowledge that there are greater pilots than him, and in the end when he wasn't chosen as one of the mission pilot, he accepts it humbly and relegates as a spare in a professional manner. Great writing and characterization.
@@alienvseditor I think Hangman is presented a little bit like young maverick. Even in dogfight practice with pheonix ha abanding her ,what mav instantly commented
@@alienvseditor yes while Hangman would have gotten to the kill zone on time he may not have been as useful in helping the others identify their bogeys. He’s not used to teamwork and that is why he wasn’t chosen. It was a bit of humbling for him and I’m sure the lesson was learned!
@@adamos54100 I haven’t seen that in a while haha 😂
Hangman had already acknowledged Maverick after he got his ass beat during the practice dogfights. You realize this when he tells Rooster you need to fly like Mav to survive the mission. But his respect for Mav definitely solidified here.
A small bonus detail: Although we only see the timer in a few concrete moments, the scene is in timed to perfection, actual two minutes and fifteen seconds pass from the moment Maverick enters the gorge to the moment he hits 10g (and the target). There are no cuts or mini skips in seconds.
Cyclone's reactions were good as well: 0:06 - confidence that he is not going to send them off to die from slamming into a mountain 0:15 - his reasoning is actually sound 0:35 - confusion, as according to his knowledge nobody should even be on the range 1:00 - subtle anger at being disobeyed 1:20 - add a bit of concern that the entire room is about to see Maverick slam into a rock wall 3:18 - holy cow, Maverick is about to succeed on his first try in less time than originally planned 3:29 - well glad he only told Maverick he was grounded rather than putting it into writing. Now he has to take back everything he just said.
I thought Cyclone looked constipated.
on point
I actually don't think he was angry at 1:00, he was refuting that pilot's statement, mentioning no one can beat the time, thinking Maverick could beat that time. He was just patient and eager at the same time to witness. While he has low opinion of Maverick, he acknowledges his flight capabilities.
I hear so many say that Cyclone was made to be an a-hole who didn't care about the safety of the recruits. But in hindsight, he was really doing what he thought was for the good of the military by following the guidelines. Dude's just your typical boss who just wants to run things on a tight shift and is clearly shown to be stress out by the responsibility put on him.
@@osmanyousif7849he’s Iceman (or rather, who iceman would be if Kilmer hadn’t had throat cancer) He’s by the book, everything is according to what he was taught, diametrically opposed to maverick’s style of, well, being a maverick that sees rules as obstacles.
That shot at 1:10 when he goes inverted and the airflow streams over the wings... Absolute chills!!
Can’t get much more practical effects than leasing real aircraft from the Navy.
And it's not even CGI. This movie is truly a Cinematic achievement.
@@flagflow1232 The closest thing to CGI is the explosions.
The inverted maneuver is strategically accurate as well. I can't remember if the movie explains this, but they invert in a steep dive to avoid high negative G's. Inverting changes the negative G to a positive G which the pilot can handle. Here's a cool interview with a Top Gun instructor. He discusses this maneuver starting at the 19-minute mark. kzhead.info/sun/o9JspNGqlpWYhq8/bejne.html
When you see the airflow stream over the wings like fog, that means he broke the sound barrier at that moment.
This scene really proves Maverick as a great leader. Showing what is possible and that jet engine sound is incredible
Well they challenged Maverick. He said "All you did was teach them the mission was impossible" so Mav said "Bet. Hold my beer" cause he had a point. Up until this point, it had been failure after failure. Mav needed to give them something to aim for. To show them their efforts were not being wasted but that their goal was realistic.
Lead by example and not just talk.
There are many types of leaders but a more accurate thing to say is Maverick is a leader by example. Some leaders are great orators and Some leaders are great planners. Maverick leads from the front.
Well actually the truly great leaders never ask the people they lead to do something they are not capable of doing themselves, or at least understand, and then tell them how to do it.... This is a great example of the difference between leaders and managers
A true leader gains respect by never saying "Forward". A true leader says "Follow me" and gets it done by example!
i love how warlock sit back and enjoy the show lol. he knows what maverick is really about
Cyclone has watched him humble the best pilots in the world, so he's considering it a very real possibility Maverick might do it. Warlock absolutely expects it.

Hangman is a key symbol. He represented the old Maverick in top gun 1. And the fact that Mav chose Rooster over Hangman as his wingman says that Mav sincerely believes the late Goose was a better, more reliable man than his younger self.
Mav knows Rooster will protect his partner.
Nah Hangman is more of a Iceman type
Cool story. But no. Hangman is Iceman. And represents the younger generation as he feuds with Rooster.
@@adriantrusca1245 You're wrong. Hangman is the new maverick. Abandons his wingman just like young Mav did in the original Top Gun. Iceman plays it by the book so he wouldn't abandon his wingman.
No Hangman is definitely Maverick. The wreckless and cocky attitude is something Iceman never had, and instead pointed that out to Maverick in the first movie. “I don’t like you because you’re unsafe”. It has the same vibe as Rooster saying “The only place you’ll lead anyone is an early grave” to Hangman
This is such an amazing movie. The sort that you can watch over and over multiple times and still not get tired of it. Studios rarely make ones like this anymore. No subverting expectations or endless flashbacks like too many movies do nowadays. TGM is just about the perfect movie.
I went 3 times in IMAX when it released. Loved it every time.
I’ve seen this scene 50 times and I never tire of it, was suspenseful, intense and uplifting

not even close to the best thing ever put on film...
One of the best scenes I've ever watched in a theater.
This is a great movie. I watched both top gun movies with my parents and I think its the longest time I've spent with them since I moved out more than 2 decades ago.
Man, I watched this movie on the big screen, and I still get that same tense feeling watching this scene on my ipad. That’s how intense I find this scene.
So many single scenes had more emotional engagement than an entire decade of Marvel or other Hollywood combined.
As much as I love Maverick, the return of Thor and Cap in Infinity War made the whole theater go crazy. Same goes for Vader's scene in Rogue One. And if we're talking about tension.. as good as this is, it will never touch the border scene in Sicario, the docking scene in Interstellar, the bear scene in Annihilation and the ending scene of Whiplash. There's still very good movies coming out of Hollywood.

The pilots' reactions sells this beautiful scene, as you come to appreciate how difficult it must have been when you see their reaction to it. Every single reaction perfectly fits its character. Combined with the escalating score. Yep that was one hell of a scene.
I see what you mean. They are the best of the best, and not only where impressed, they witnessed something beyond belief.
I recall when I’m brought my 80 year old Dad to this and he was shouting ‘YES MAVERICK’! Brilliant!
Who the fuck is going to replace Tom Cruise in cinema. A legend in our time.
His cinematic exploits are legendary.
I'm pretty sure he does like 99% of his own stunts......
I normally don't go to see a movie just because so & so is in it; I go for the plot, and if a big star is in it, that's nice. With Tom Cruise, I make an exception; if he's in a film I go because he's in it. Why? Because I know it'll be GREAT! I know it'll be a film experience that I'll remember. How many iconic characters has Tom Cruise portrayed through the years? Who can forget Lt. Kaffee in "A Few Good Men"? Who can forget Mitch McDeere in "The Firm"? Who can forget Nathan Algren from "The Last Samurai"? I could go on, but you get my point. Tom Cruise IS a cinematic legend! No one will ever fill his shoes; we'll never see his kind again... :(
Phoenix had the best line: "nice". She secretly loved the whole thing.
She liked the idgaf attitude in this situation of going anyway regardless of plan. They all knew by now he'd been canned as mission instructor so it's nothing to lose. If he fails he's what? Discharged and maybe charged with damaging naval equipment unauthorised, court martialed etc but he's practically toast anyway or he succeeds and proves Adm wrong and saves his students lives. So I think that's in there as well. She knows as much as they all know based on parameters they either do it Mavs way and have better chance of making it home or they do it Adm Simpsons way and have to take their chances against next gen fighters and probably all die with missiles as well. As it was they barely made it out and both Mav and Rooster got downed. Imagine the shit kicking theyd have got Simpsons ways. So yeah altogether I'd say I'm going anyway was nice from Mav.
Phoenix respects people who put it on the line for the team, like Maverick and Rooster.
@@haroldb1856 agreed that too.
you can see her breathing heavy while she was watching it
@@PV1230 Chances are all of the pilots are breathing heavily as well. They have all tried the course, and they all likely know the breathing pattern needed so they can get oxygen without passing out from the G-Forces. During this run they are seeing the moves and started their breathing patterns, but soon realized that Maverick is going faster and pulling more Gs than they ever did. Maverick did not memorize the course that they did, Maverick is going faster, harder, and better than any of them did. As a comparison, go to a rollercoaster park and make a video from the front of one of their rides. Ride it a few times so your know the moves. The next day, go to a big screen TV and watch your movie at x1.1 speed. You will feel the sensations of every twist and turn, even though you are sitting in a chair. You will even recognize that what you are watching is faster than what you went through the previous day.

The initial training was for a time of 2:30. When Maverick went into the range, he shaved off 15 seconds. The training was for a flight of 100ft maximum. One glance at the altimeter showed he was at 39ft. The F-18's air frame recommended maximum was 7.5Gs. Maverick took it to 10Gs on that run. Maverick: The G.O.A.T. *
I think he actually did it in 1:59 in the end. He left 16 seconds on the clock after that... One quick SOB.
@@Salah-fq2wi he didn't, he did it in almost exactly 2 mins 15 secs. The timer had 16 milliseconds left.
@@cloudless6088 was it milliseconds? Dam my mistake 😄 still fast!
Also, the whole reason for them taking two planes per run is so that the rear plane can do the laser designation after the first plane drops the bombs and starts the high G pull out. But Mav does his own lasing, in reverse because its on the back side of the plane, while doing the 10 G pull out. Just an awesome scene!
he shaved 15 seconds, yet still had around 16 seconds to spare lmao
This scene has the entire movie theatre in the edge of their seat. One of the greatest scenes I have seen in cinema.
That "Damn" at the end says it all.
This is my favorite scene in the entire movie. Nothing like going against all the odds with nothing but your wit and grit, evincing the finest ethos of naval aviation.
A good leader says it can be done. A true leader shows it can be done.
The best leader goes first.
Very good quote, a true leader will always lead his followers through example
@@angelic_disappointment7889 To supplement that with a quote: “A leader leads by example, not by force.” ~Sun Tzu
SOON!!!!!  TREASON!!! YOU DO KNOW I HAVE THE NUKE CODES AND THE FOOTBALL HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!! THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!!! WHEN DO YOU PLAY THE TRUMP CARD!!!! Until the world sees the TRUTH! “I was right about a lot of things and I’ll tell you this, I’ll be right about the election.” - 45 IT WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!!! AUDIT ALL THE STATES!!!!! DEEP STATE CAN KISS MY ASS!!!! I HAVE NOT conceded the election! This is very important for what comes next. You see, if AZ decertifies their results the ENTIRE election is now in question. Congress cannot certify election until ALL states have certified. Just like a state cannot certify unless 100% of their counties certify, the same is true of a national election with the states themselves. As Trump hasn't conceded, he now has a right to contest the entire election and that will mean the remaining 49 states will have to conduct a full forensic audit as a result. Why do you think so many states are visiting AZ for the audit right now, including states that supposedly already went Trump and didn't have contested election issues? They know what is coming. Do you all remember prior to the 2018 election Trump signed an EO13848 making national elections a matter of national security? >>>Now put two and two together. If even ONE state shows fraud it calls into question the results >>>of the entire election. Being a matter of national security now puts it under the purview of >>>who as forensic audits are done state to state? If you answered the military you are on the right track. I AM COMEING THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!!That means they're playing along with Trump and im in control they've already given Trump back his power they've already reinstated him they reinstated them recently
@@albundy831king Forgive me as I press X to doubt this shit dude.
This is what I wanted to see Luke Skywalker be but instead I got a sad, depressed old hermit. Godspeed Maverick. I feel the need…the need…for speed!!!!
Oh absolutely correct. An excellent comparison. Heck, I expected it from Rey as well!
Agreed. Read the "Dark Empire" novels, plus "Legacy of the Force." They show THE REAL Luke Skywalker 4 decades on from where the Original films left-off; not the insultingly repugnant fool in bad movies.
Watch The Mandalorian (#The Rescue)... Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni give fans the Luke we never got...
@@jackfisk2840 In Mando, Luke is still in his prime. Maverick is well past the prime of a fighter pilot. But, his skills and ability are still beyond those younger than him.
Least we got the woke force. Can't beat that! #womenz.
I remember seeing this in theaters, it was amazing and it would be wrong to not acknowledge Hans Zimmer’s par in making this scene especially amazing. He does such a great job of creating tension and depth and when he drops the bombs it creates a powerful resolution that just exudes so much emotion- I can’t explain it! I love this scene especially because of his work🥰
Perfect. No more sequels, please and thank you.
Love this scene and is one of the best examples of leadership. Show it. Demonstrate it. Prove it. Inspire it. This is leadership by example and can be applied in not just in the military but in the civilian world as well. One special note to add: Kudos to the aircraft maintenance folks. It's one of the absolute toughest jobs in the military outside of the battlefield. They keep the planes flying to perfection. Without their critical maintenance, constant checks, and preparation, pilots are just civilians with sunglasses.
I love watching the range of hangman's facial expressions during this whole scene. 00:58 You've gotta be kidding 01:21 Well, this should be good 03:06 Dude, no f*cking way 03:37 Damn
Yeah. The second is pure "Well I've nothing better to do and this should be somewhat amusing".
3:06 could also be: This SOB just might pull this off!
@@markymarknj Bro that feels like someone who is legit deeply invested into seeing Mav succeed. But could be that too.
@@muhammadosamaraza4105good point! After all, based on what Hangman said when he called out Rooster, it was clear that he'd bought into Maverick's plan.
Spot on
I love how one single word, worked so excellently in this scene … ‘Nice’ … spoken by Phoenix!
I dunno how many times this video has popped up on my feed, but i click it every time. I watch the scene, then read the comments and then sit back and appreciate that im living in the same era as actors whose skill will never be seen again. I say the same thing about sports (Jordan lebron kobe , messi both ronaldos ronaldhino zidane, sampras nadal federer djokovic etc) and music (mike Jackson,tupac, biggie) . Its genuinely all downhill for the human race from here 😂
I was so satisfied when this scene happened . It is the first time we really got to see and experience Maverick being such a superior pilot. We mostly took characters word for it in the first film. Saw glimpses of it in the training scene of this movie. But this was the first time the viewer was able to see Mavericks skill in full display.
To be fair the first movie erased any doubt of his lack of skill in the air. What was new here for Maverick was showing his limits in a teachable way. The pilots knew by the number how they stacked up- they were able to see they were outclassed and measure it as well.
The best part of the movie I think besides the Iceman and Maverick scene
I'll never forget watching this scene in imax theatre, you literally could feel everyone in the their seats holding their breath and leaning forward , it was a such an awesome movie moment being back in theatres after covid
This scene made the movie for me. While he's doing it, I couldn't help but think that if it was a video game I'd have crashed and burned dozens of times over, but he only has one shot. The reason he wasn't promoted is exactly the same reason that John Hamm's character was, Maverick was never into playing it safe. He knew that the only way to get out alive at all was his way. Doing it Admiral Simpson's way would have gotten them all killed. One other point for me is that watching this movie brought back memories of simpler times when a movie was a movie, good or bad, and it wasn't made to get someone's message across to you.
This movie, and its predecessor, *most definitely* is trying to get someone's message across to you. The original was the greatest recruitment video the military has ever had, which is why they allowed the use of all those shiny planes to begin with.
Wow...I have seen this movie 4 times in the theatre across three states(I travel alot) huge fan of the franchise. I been watching clips on YT just to relive those special scenes as this. I've read alot of comments but yours really said something. This movie was NOT to push an agenda or convey someone's message it was just a great a$$ sequel to an amazing movie with charismatic and powerful actor/actresses and superb cinematography. It's about as perfect as you can get to a movie masterpiece.
@@hosephotographer9630 America great, enemy bad. American military greatest. Enemy military poor. America does good. Enemy does bad. Both the Top Gun movies are packed with messaging. You just don't see it because you've already swallowed the hook.
I agree and on your last point. Notice how all the pilots are a diverse bunch. But that fact is never brought up. Hangman was a dick a few times to Phoenix but she handled him well. The message is still there. It was just much more subtle. Penny is a strong and independent woman. The movie shows you that fact. She’s a mom running a business while also sailing every now and then. It’s kinda nice to see. But she’s not a man hater either. Maverick is her man and she supports him. Great writing all around.
@@SARGEHALO666v2 .. yes some ‘wokeism’ in the casting for sure
The reason I loved this movie is that it didn't linger in drama, it lingered in friendship and camaraderie
scene gives me chills every time
This scene gives me chills and makes me emotional. Same with the ending scene, the actual canyon run. When they are flying in formation over the water just before entering the canyon…the soundtrack…OMG. Too good!
Warlock smiling as Mav is making the run is awesome, then his clenched fist after the target is destroyed is awesome. He knows.
Yeah, he knows Maverick is the man, the best pilot the Navy has got.
I like how Warlock had Mav's back all through the film.
@@markymarknj We didn't see him speak up for him once. Sure Cyclone outranked him and was his commanding officer but Warlock is still a two star admiral and his opinion carries weight, especially with cyclone. Maybe he did speak up for him but they never showed it.
@@Bitchslapper316 of course. Also, Warlock, I think, was a quiet supporter of Maverick all through the film.
The best past for me is the realisation from his trainees that they have all tried and failed to do this mission in 2 30 and mav has flew it in 15 seconds less all while lasing the target and dropping his own bombs unaided. It would have been topped off only by Jon hamm pumping his fist at this achievement from maverick 😁
Jon Hamm's character is very reserved but with his back to the class you can see the pilot in him is just as impressed as the rest of them.
Jon hamm character was not impressed he was annoyed because maverick left him no choice but to send him on the mission
@@bryankriser8656 on the contrary, I think he was impressed. He knew that 2 30 was already a difficult target and mav smashed that time flying the mission solo. He just couldn't let the other pilots see his reaction
@@badassbiker78 disagree Mr hamm was willing to sacrifice hit pilots lives with a ridiculous run time of 4:00. Maverick force his hand by proving him wrong by doing even faster the 2:30. Was he impressed with the run probably but he hated his antics and he represented the uniform
And double his age
That's why Maverick is the Top Gun.A true leader that shows you how it's done.
man, i could watch this scene every time it pops up and never get tired of it
Saw this movie twice just for this scene. Awesome movie. A true sequel !!
The whole theatre erupted despite knowing he will do it coz he's Maverick. Awesome scene from a great movie
🏴army vet , that lives 10 mins drive from raf lossiemouth, ♥️ to go and be able to watch the Euro fighters doing close manoeuvres around the area is immense, photographers dream to be able to stand at the end of the runway viewpoint , and appreciate what these guys do, is awesome, pretty busy place sometimes
That was a friggin AWESOME scene! When first seeing it I felt like standing up and cheering.
It's a small detail but one of my favorite parts about this scene is the few times you can see Mavericks face sag because of the G-force. Knowing all of these scene are filmed in real F18's makes this detail so much cooler because Tom's actually pulling real g-force. This is probobly the most intense flying up to this point in the movie and the proof is literally on screen in front of you.
so dope!
And here i was thinking Tom Cruise mastered his facial expression acting.
Yep - that's real G-Forces. Something the original Top Gun wasn't capable of portraying. The technical details on how they filmed inside the cockpits are fascinating viewing if you can find them on KZhead. In summary - the cameras - specifically the LENSES of the cameras (because the actual BODY of the camera with the FILM is actually somewhere else in the plane's modified structure) got small enough and durable enough to be placed inside the cockpit in the correct fashion to capture the actor. And - SIMULTANEOUSLY - Capture an "over the shoulder" view of the ACTUAL pilot flying the plane in the FRONT seat! Any time the camera switches from showing Tom Cruises helmeted face and the scenery receding behind him - to showing that over-the-shoulder shot of "his" helmet from the rear and the oncoming view - what you are seeing is the actual Navy Pilot with a duplicate "Maverick" helmet. Both cameras were recording at the same time. The choice of edit timing was done later in post production. But it's all 100% real footage! Absolute MAD RESPECT for Cruise to do it this way!
Just so you know that Tom Cruise was not flying that F18..he was in back seat portraying as if he was flyin...yes he was actually in g-force in the back seat..again not flyin
Tom Cruise put his body, his life on the line to entertain you people lol. Flying at that low altitude at such high speeds, if the actual real pilot made a slightest mistake, he and Tom Cruise would splatter all over the mountain terrain. A moment of appreciation for Tom Cruise, taking entertaining the masses to another level.
One of the most dedicated actors to his job
The results speak for themselves though, Tom's movies are hits because you can feel the passion and the hard work that went into it
On this topic (not for this movie) Dani Trejo has a different opinion "I know that all the big stars hate me to say this, but I don’t want to risk 80 peoples’ jobs just to say I got big huevos on ‘The Tonight Show,"......“We have stunt people who do that stuff,” Trejo said. “And if they get hurt, I’m sorry to say but they just need to put a mustache on another Mexican and we can keep going. But if I get hurt, everybody’s out of a job. So I don’t choose to do that.”
@@xazorus9229 and that's an extremely fair statement. MI:6 was slowed down because Tom fucked his ankle on a jump, and if he died... no movie.
FWIW they probably flew at a much slower speed and sped it up.
Damn I was glue to my seats in an IMAX theatre. Not a single sound was heard. Everyone was pump into this action scene. We love you Tom! Your freaking Amazing!
Rocky: we do training montages! TOP GUN: Hold my beer.
"damn", as arrogant as Hangman is, even he acknowledges The Master
This scene still gives me goosebumps….when you’re struggling at the gym play this and feel it
One of my favourite scenes in any movie. Watching this movie in 4DX was an amazing experience.
Everything about the scene, music and acting here is amazing. Chills!! Glen Powell and his body and facial language conveys so much in only split seconds.. Jon Hamm nails it, his disdain for Maverick, but also disbelief/respect, while still looking pained to admit it.. just has a brilliant strained tension in his face the entire time. Whenever I watch this scene I always get impressed by those 2 actors especially. And the actual pilot - no words, just insane that he did that.
This scene still blows my mind no matter how many times I watch it.
And its amazing when you consider the stakes, there were no enemy pilots, no lives at risk, yet the tension and stakes of the mission and Pete's approach felt so real
That scene was the best part of the movie in my opinion! Tom should get an Oscar for this movie!!
Have seen the movie several times in a theatre and have watched this scene over and over and I'm on the edge of my seat with goosebumps every time.
Even "Bagman" was impressed! 🤣
he observed from the afterlife lol
Absolutely favorite part:. "Well, I'm going anyway ..."
"Nice!"
watching this movie felt all the tension; You never got tired of seeing it and that's why you wanted to see it more than once. I've seen it 4 times and those 4 times were amazing. Tom Cruise had every reason to delay the release to enjoy this movie in a movie theater.
I got 15 time, from IMAX, 4DX, Dobly, LUXE. I love this movie.
This is an absolute masterclass in filmmaking. The music is just subtle enough to add emotion to the tension, the grunts and straining of a man under extreme pressure, and an entire group silently rooting him on. One of the best scenes in movie history, in my opinion.
Coming from hangman just the one word. "DAMN". Seriously that in its self is praise enough. This scene is so brilliant its unbelievable. All actors really acting perfectly. All saying a key part and making the scene. top marks.
"Damn"...says it all about this fantastic scene and film.
Can we appreciate that the editors kept the runtime of this scene once the clock starts in sync with the time protrayed in the film?
Say what you may but this was one hell of a scene. I was glued just like rest of the team 🔥
Maverick: well I'm going any way. Phoenix: Nice!!
I'm usually not a big fan of watching a movie more than once. But there's something about these scenes that keeps bringing me back. I have watched these clips more than 10 times and they still feel fresh every time. These really are that good.
Still brings tears to my eyes.
Big fan of this moment. " I'm going anyways and her smile saying Nice"
This scene was the peak for me. Definition of a true leader.
The finest example of a "hold my beer" moment.....ever.
Best movie in the last 5 years, easily.
