I love hearing the constructive criticisms of this scene, but reality be damned, it was freaking AWESOME.

Maverick went into the sun, quickly flew right around the world, and came back up behind Hangman while he was still squinting. Pretty good move actually, most people wouldn't think of it.

As a fellow fighter pilot for 22 years (F-16/F-22...and still going), I understand the critical debrief of the scene...but it was great to show my kids (16/13) how violent flying can be for fighter pilots in these particular situations. My entire family on my wife's side (based on leave) went to the movie and they kept tapping me on the shoulder to asking me questions. I agree of the critiques, I am just glad that the movie was what it was.

My brother-in-law was an Air Force fighter pilot, and he flew F-16s! Callsign "Limo" because that's how he arrived at the Air Force Academy. I understand that military fighter pilots almost never choose their own callsigns, they're basically chosen FOR you and approved by your commander. "Bob" was probably the most realistic one.

I know this is all about the flying, but what I want to know is, how did Penny afford a Porsche, a sailboat, and a beachfront bar as a single mother?

Watch the disclaimer here first. kzfaq.infoJV6fBmbrgHw Due to copyright issues with the other videos, these will be released out of order (as they're approved). There will be 6 total. This one was first to be cleared, so that's why it's first. Eventually, I'll make one big playlist so you can binge watch the whole thing. Thanks for watching!

Jerry Bruckheimer said of the original Top Gun: “I don’t make movies for fighter pilots, I make movies for movie-goers”.

I truly appreciate your constructive criticism on fact vs fiction. At the very least it's educational. At the same time, I appreciate the "entertainment value" they provide b/c it's a movie after all! It's a nice balance of fact/fiction (for entertainment) and you did a great job separating the two.

This reminds me of watching war movies with my Dad back when I was a little kid. Being that my Dad was a Marine, he’d always yell at the tv, “BULLSHIT! That’s NOT how they’re supposed to do that! 😠” then he’d whisper in my ear how it should be done realistically. He even did that to me a few times when we watched Top Gun 2 in the theater this summer even tho I’m a grown ass man now 🤣

Gonky having a grand'ol time laughing at the BOB joke. Mover: "Why are they talking shut the fu..... just shut up". What an Iconic duo right there.

I love getting your views on military movies! As a former Marine in rotary wing aviation I understand everything you're saying about safety. That was always the number one thing preached every time we flew. When Maverick does all this stuff that is considered unsafe I always thought is was because he never did anything by the book, hence the name. He's trying to get pilots ready for "mission impossible"

For as unrealistic as Ace Combat willfully is, it's *so* satisfying when someone brakes like that in a vectoring jet and I just put two missiles into their top while they're static. The ones to watch out for in AC are when they do it during a tight turn fight to bring the nose around, which is usually how the actual players do it - the flips to get behind or launch missiles from the front are mostly the boss AI in singleplayer.

"Is he left handed? No he is in a back seat" Guys that was so funny :D

Behind the scenes, on the credits, there are a handful of navy trainers and pilots during the making of the movie. They knew what's right or wrong but improvised for the sake of entertainment.

Love you guys! You remind me of my dad! He was a Naval Aviator for 27 years, before his retirement in 1977. CO of VA-25 (A-7), Navy Acceptance pilot at Douglas for A-4s. He was my hero. 3 tours in Vietnam didn't get him, but cancer did in 2009. Honor, duty and the biggest heart! And he looked like John Wayne! I miss him everyday.

That's why Mavericks the best! Because he breaks rules and defies all laws of gravity!🤣

Could care less if it was realistic or not. This movie rocked.

Mover: Did you ever transition out of BFM into canyon flying? Gonky: Not on purpose. You guys are awesome.

Thanks for the breakdown. Much respect for the pilots! That kind of work is not easy. The Hornet has a special place in my heart.

Awesome feedback gents! For the part about the plane being the worst “classroom,” I would just say from an Army perspective (recognizing fighting in the air isn’t the same as on the ground) that conceptually I have found that when the situation is stressful, if you as an instructor identify a potential significant emotional event from which to learn, then you jog the memory to drive a point home so that it does stick. Meh - different strokes for different folks! Even so thank you for this awesome reaction! I’ve learned tons!

Realism aside, the movie was still really good and the characters were memorable. There were also emotional roller coasters and it really hooked you in. But still this will probably be the most realistic aviation movie for many years to come so let's appreciate it.

Driving by Moffet field yesterday, off 101 Highway with my daughters....we started to hear this monstrous sound, I knew what it was, but they had no idea. We all look out to the right, and two f-18 Hornets flying next to one another, sideways, turning over the airfield about 300 feet up, it was magnificent. Nothing like seeing, hearing, and feeling these beautiful feats of engineering piloted by the worlds best.

It's essentially a combination of real flying with CGI or spliced real bits when it's necessary to fudge distances (to fit the action in the frame). It's really good work.

I just want to say great job on telling us about maneuvers about what was real and not. You all were very entertaining and keep it so down to earth! Thank you!

I think a factor that isn't taken into account is that it's Maverick flying. He's a frequent rule breaker. That's part of the premise of why he's so good. He bends rules when he thinks it's beneficial. I don't fly planes, but I do know Maverick disregards protocol (from what we are told in the movies) a lot from watching both movies haha.

“Who’s up there?” “Cougar and Merlin, and Mover and Gonky.” “Great, Mover and Gonky.” Always love seeing you two, talking shit, sharing insights, just awesome. Maybe them being supposedly elite and making all these day one mistakes was the point though. Ah well

Loved hearing this breakdown. I am a pilot as I got my license in college. But I’m a weather forecaster with a FW now. Hearing them talk about this movie kinda made me appreciate it more. That some was right and not all just smoke.

I was a plane captain for VFA 105, we had F/A 18 super hornets. They are badass aircraft. Truly incredible.

In all fairness, Tom would have jumped into that pilots seat in a heartbeat if the NAVY allowed him. Have to appreciate how much he and the production tried to do everything they could think of to make it all as real as possible and the fact they are all in those keys is definitely enough for me. 🤙🏻

I love how real fighter pilots give real reactions to all this. My ex brother in law was a fighter pilot and I loved having conversations about flying. I never served, but I have so much respect for you all.

from an old Army pilot - thanks for the critique - loved listening to you two --- I just tell people often, "Hey, remember, it's a movie - entertainment - enjoy" ------ yes, it is a little fun for men and women who actually know what's going on but keep in mind it's a 'story' for entertainment -- When the first Maverick movie came out I took a Navy Pilot friend to ask him --- "Really? How realistic was the movie?" One thing he said that I remember to this day had to do with the 'salute' prior to launch off a ship --- He said, "Don't pick you noise - you be gone!!!" Thanks again for your time --- really enjoyed

I said I wouldn't watch this movie until I made it, got selected for SNFO and decided to watch it. First time I didn't like it but 2nd time it really grew on me. Stopped looking at inaccuracies and focused on how badass the action scenes are.

Oh boy, lots of comments. This is video 3 of 6 of Mover RUINS Movies. We know iT's JuSt a MoViE. This is not a review. It's a breakdown and reaction. We both loved the movie. Lighten up, relax, and enjoy the humor, stories, and breakdowns of "what if" and how it relates to real life. If you're going to be triggered because you thought this would be a video coddling your feelings about this movie, or you don't want me to pause to talk about stuff, find another video to watch. This one isn't for you. It's best if you start from the beginning: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iq6Voq6bu9Kqg6s.html

He knew maverick was gonna try to bubble violate by flying at 2 feet off the ground so he knew to go into GMT Mav gave him the redfor gameplan what a great instructor

I think the mystery red light may actually be the camera for filming inside the cockpit. They had to teach the actors how to work them and some basic principles of direction so that they could get the interior shots. It looks like it's in roughly the right spot to get the angle you see at 30:30

I really enjoyed this. Reminds of when I a kid (4th grade and up), my dad would break down every war movie: wrong weapon, wrong ribbons, wrong uniform, wrong term, "that would never happen...this is what they are supposed to do" and my favorite "that's actual footage". To this day I still yell "actual footage!" This was really good!😊

First time? This is PART 3 of 8. Watch the full playlist here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iq6Voq6bu9Kqg6s.html Before you get triggered and say iT'S JuSt a MoViE or wHy dO yOu hAtE it.... relax, we know. This is Mover RUINS Movies. It's a fun breakdown/commentary/analysis with sarcasm, humor, and real world stories. We both loved the movie.

I never thought about the canopy distance from the pilot but it makes so much sense when Gonky points it out. Touching the canopy without gloves so you lay fingerprints with the sun gleaming off the smudges when your trying to find dots in the sky seems to also be counter-productive.

Thanks for the commentary. Much respect to the real fighter pilots! I live in San Diego, CA, one exit from the MCAS and hear the jets in the air all the time. I also lived in Jacksonville, FL where I heard the same jets every afternoon.

Man…this is such an awesome window into a world I’ll never live. Such knowledge; so fast. Love it.

"Have you ever transitioned from BFM to low level canyon flying?" "Not on purpose" ROFLMAO. Thank you so much for that. As an army vet that WANTED to be a fighter pilot in the Air Force but was told I was too tall (this was back in 03-04, but I still thought it was horseshit) I really appreciate y'all's take on this. There are a LOT of folks that don't realize that just because the military is involved with Hollywood, that doesn't make the movie a documentary. There is a difference between Hollywood incorporating concepts vs what happen in reality. I have issues with Tom Cruise's personal choices, but as an actor he has a lot of my respect just based on the fact that he goes all in on his roles. I mean, it may be a rumor, but I heard that the military lent the Hornets to Hollywood on a discounted rate as long as the director made a promise: Tom Cruise was not allowed to touch the stick, because everyone knew that he REALLY wanted to. Let's be honest - who wouldn't?

For anyone interested in Military Aviation, it's nice to know the difference between actual flying and what's in the movies. Thanks for your work and what you do!

You guys rock! Thanks for making this. Really enjoyed it!

If I had 25 cents every time mover pauses the movie

To the comments that say “stop pausing every 2 secs” and “this is a movie”. This is “REAL fighter pilots react”. These guys have been in the seat, and know the real deal. Thanks @CW Lemoine @The Ready Room

It is such an enjoyable experience listening to two SME's discuss these scenes. Thank you!

I love how you both are true fighter pilots

"You're not going to tell anybody right? Cuz I'm not going to tell anybody..." LOL. So honest, I love it!

As a PC for both of y’all. I want to thank you for doing this video. 😂 The little details mattered in my heart while watching this. I called bs on all the flight scenes. My wife asked if it was real, had to let her enjoy it and said “real enough.”

It's great that even the big criticisms show that this movie still tried to ditch Hollywood's stigma of not caring for accuracy

The ending reaction that Gonky had to the push-ups comment had me rolling. Never found it that funny when I first watched, but in hindsight that would be pretty hilarious for the instructor to rub it in like that.

What I wouldn't give to be in the cockpit of an F22 or or F18. It's so badass to hear you guys talk about this stuff. My terrible eyes would never allow me to ever fly a plane, but one can dream.

I am glad to see Gonky is back!! The three of you, including Wombat, are what makes this channel so special.

H_ngm_n wasn't being a high-speed cheerleader. H_ngm_n was being H_ngm_n: Hanging around up there and hanging Rooster out to dry. Come on guys, Phoenix said so! =p On a serious note, the Hard Deck and the gun pipper used the way it is in the movie are both most certainly things everyone making the movie went: 'This is wrong, but we're keeping some old homages to the original Top Gun'.

This was absolutely amazing to listen to their commentary

The "No one is betting push ups" thing made me laugh my ass off. I watched the film with a former Army infantry officer, his first reaction to the push ups thing was..... "Aviators don't exercise!!!"

The Military pilots who make these scenes possible are awesome and the actors and filmography really make it entertaining, cgi has its place but when over used it spoils the effects. I really appreciate hearing the comments from actual Fighter pilots all the while keeping in mind it's s movie. Perfect.

Listening to these guys talk about some of these maneuvers really makes what groups like the Blue Angels do all the more impressive.

These two guys were absolutely awesome to listen too …. Awesome! And I love the high speed cheerleader 😂

Great video. I passed to my brother who’s a pilot and he said you went to pilot training together and were roommates at Luke years ago. Small world!

My dad flew an A-10 and this is his favorite movie ever. Just like when I see a car movie like fast and furious I notice all the inconsistencies like why did they shift into 11th gear. 😆 I love this kind of video keep it up!

Really enjoying this series so far. “Ruining the movie” it’s a movie, an action one at that, 99.9% of the stuff happening in them is fake or impossible which makes them look amazing. I loved the movie, even tho I knew it was nonsense all the way through, and watching professionals break these movies down and point out all the laughable inaccuracies but also finding those small pieces of truth, while sharing their own experiences is provably the best part. “You’re ruining it” they’re not sitting with you in the movie theatre or next to you and pointing out everything wrong while it’s your first time watching the movie. You knew it would be a critical review, you knew what you were in for bud. And now back to watching the rest.

The pilot who flew the jet for that the close inverted scene has atested itvwas real, it was him( blue angel pilot) and a top gun senior trainer

Love your critique's, guys. Thank you for your service.

This 6-part MRM is going to catapult your channel up high! Keep soaring, Mover!

Loved this one. Can't wait for all the other parts! Finally we have what we've been waiting for years for. It is obvious you two enjoyed the movie a lot, must have been a pleasure watching, as well as breaking down what worked and what didn't.

I appreciate these vids, thanks. Especially this part. It's nice to see that there is a great deal of accuracy in the movie and its not just total rubbish. 👍

I like hearing the difference between "movie" and reality. There has to be changes to make the scene accessible to joe-blow who isn't a pilot. I can appreciate the fine-line between "reality" and "entertainment" that you have to walk to make this move. Nice, Job!

I think I’ve waited more eagerly for this video than the actual movie itself. Love you Mover

It's been almost three years since we got Mover's first reaction to the initial trailer. It's been an amazing ride from then to now. Loving every bit of it.

Loved this - had a blast watching it, and learned so much about flying in the process!!

that was fun to listen to two actual fighter pilots :)

The input from true fighter pilots about this movie is great. So many things Im learning about the rules, tactics, and the ways the aircraft would really handle in certain situations. Good stuff, thank you.

As for the visor thing, a lot of movies do that to show a clear difference between the “heroes” and “Bad guys” in films like these. With the good guys, you ALWAYS see their face with their outfits being colorful, green Camo, American flags etc bad guys are ALWAYS dressed in all black with faces not being shown at ALL. It’s a choice they Make specifically for plot

I love that they actually all flew and trained. Tom Cruise may be crazy but it I LOVE HIM!

I’m liking this narrative by real fighter pilots… informative and humorous 😊

am glad I got this video recommended, extremely interesting to hear real professional pilots knowing their job, you guys rock

8:42. I think better comms would be "missile break left" or "guns break left" (reactions are different) followed by the defensive fighter calling tally or no joy. The defensive pilot would never call "breaking left", as that's self-evident. If you get a no joy response, you'd want to call a reversal or whatever directive comm is needed to get the defensive pilot's eyes on. Still a great movie. We launched from Miramar to the TACTS range near Yuma routinely.

if I had seen this movie when I was 12 or 13 years old, from that moment I would have worked to become a fighter pilot, this movie will inspire many children to become pilots

It's too real, Mover!!! Love the break down of these scenes.

What gives me respect for Tom is the fact that he actually can fly a jet.

This was an awesome breakdown, so good to see your views on this. Many thanks to Mover and Gonky! So interesting 👍

"Nothing on the radar, sir!" in that voice would totally be me as a wizzo

18:30 "...he's in the back seat..." -!!!!!!!!!!- Outstanding, get you a case of beer for that belly laugh!

Air force guy: That's idiotic, you'd never do that! Navy guy: Well....

My grandpa is a big fan of aviation, he seems excited when i either play Ace Combat, Project Wingman, or even DCS and just intently watch me play or comment sometimes. I brought him to watch Top Gun Maverick with me to the cinema and wow, he said seeing Tom Cruise makes him feels 40 years old younger again (70 years old btw love him)

Hey, I just watched your comments on TOP GUN 2 I’m so glad the both of you commented so the rest of us know What the reality is supposed to be like. I just hope our adversaries are watching which I know they are. But hey I enjoyed it!!!

HEY! It’s Maverick man! I love you guys and I watch another pilot do breakdowns. I love the breakdowns! As a veteran almost joined Air Force (broke knee in high school) knows that this is not plausible. Yeah they’re in the back seat with crafty camera angles. It was an entertaining movie and made me wish I didn’t play football my senior year in high school, again! My mom told me “told you”. So, went into LE for 25 years and retired. I also appreciate the shaddup during chatting. I would have thought it would be frowned upon. If we talked like that on our radios we’d be sitting in front of the sergeant explaining ourselves or later in my career asking WTF! Thank you for service gentlemen it was great to hear what really happens. I live near Kingsley AFB and love watching the jets take off! A boy still dreams!

Loved seeing you two laughing and smiling joking around best review in awhile imo

Nice getting real fighter pilot's perspective of these and still great to watch over and over!

I appreciate the commentary from the folks that have been through this. I also find in very amusing to hear them talk about the faults in procedure - and yet they were in line on Day 1 to see the movie -- and have watched it 20 times (and counting) - and they joined up after they watched the first Top Gun. So....perspective....

Been following this channel for awhile. Never seen him get this many views. Congrats Mover

When both Gonky and Mover is in the same video, we’re in for a funny, entertaining, yet insanely informative ride! Loved this! I still LOVED the film despite the unrealistic shots! I mean the country they attacked exists at Point Nemo! LOL! Being a sailor, I recognized those coordinates immediately! Thanks to you both for taking the time to do this and sharing it with us!

I'd really like to see an interview with some of the Aircrews involved in the movie. As it seems they subtly Injected some of their own humor into the movie at points. The reactions from the Fighter community in general are hilarious over multiple generations and simple things like "where's the RWR" is pure gold.

I absolutely love the commentary. Thanks for sharing.

Its eye opening when you randomly realize the things you make are just out in this crazy flying machines! I build the inertia reels Mover was taking about at 13:22 .

18:05 when Phoenix and Hangman were taking on Maverick, They broke different ways because Hangman wanted Maverick to go after Phoenix and then he would come from behind and get the glory, it's why Rooster said "Watch your back Phoenix" because he knew Hangman would try to basically put Phoenix up for sacrifice.

I would absolutely watch the entire movie start to finish in this format lol I can not get enough of this...

Only time I did F/A-18 in DCS, my buddy walked me through the startup procedure on some public server. Decided not to bring fuel tanks, thinking our fuel load was good enough, and wanting to stay light in case we did run into any actual combat (which was the goal). I got lost in the air pretty quick, and separated from him, so I didnt do anything useful (WT Enduring Confrontation in a P-51 is more my speed, I'm still learning modern tactics and systems in DCS. Basic sh@t like navigating to targets is still hard for me, because I'm spending most of my time trying to figure out what everything does in the cockpit). Only other plane I ran across was an... SU-33 I think? My buddy kept telling me it was a friendly player by checking the map, but that guy and I got into a sort of mock dogfight for fun (without ever talking to him, which was hilarious), just trying to get our noses on each other, at low altitude through terrain. After like 5 minutes it devolved into a rolling scissors, neither of us really getting an advantage, and I was having a blast. I was just glad to have someone willing to practice BFM with me, even though it was technically a competitive combat server with actual targets to go shoot at. Suddenly... DEAD. All of the avionics just quit, went to black. I was like "Wait, WTF?"... Then I hear the engines roll back, and the SU-33 just pulled away from me, and was like, oh... iT aINt gOt No gAS iN It... Yeah, then I regretted not taking drop tanks, especially since it took half an hour to get going during start up earlier. I tried crash landing it on the nearest flat spot I could find, but found out that after already being low and slow from messing around... Yeah, turns out modern fighter jets tend to lawn dart way harder than most planes, and I plowed into the dirt. Should've just ejected... This was all in VR too, and... Sometimes, it gets just immersive for a moment, just before impact, that you forget youre not ACTUALLY about to be pancaked, and piss yo-self a little bit, lol. ... So yeah, I totally get losing jets in training to people dumping fuel for an advantage, then not paying attention to fuel load later on, I had no idea I was running low because it was the last thing on my mind. I'm just happy I did it in a flight simulator as some larper, and got to go eat nachos after that, I can't believe actual fighter pilots have pulled that crap with the real deal.

so the pilot who was maverick (the navy pilot himself) said the scene where he went inverted was actually real. they were only allowed to do it because he was a blue angels pilot. now the barrel role over and over and over heading down, idk about that part but the inverted scene was real actually.
