Those are words Goose would have said to him.

A beautiful film in every aspect. So much better than the original. Yes, it stands in its own, but it needs the original for context. Just a beautiful amazing film that will easily last the test of time.

Hangman is his nephew

@@rep100Luxio Not possible, Maverick is an only child.

@@andrewglass9706 who knows

It’s literally Star Wars a new hope dawg from the trench run to the ending

It is the best of its kind

​@@WorthlessProductions It's nothing like A New Hope. The trench run similarity is surface level only.

It's not "arguably", it is, in fact, the best sequel to a retro film ever made.

Even better, it's a solid film that stands on its own merits. Then again, that's probably why it's a great sequel. :)

Phoenix also took him seriously, she just had the misfortune of being teamed with Hangman who didn't.

Notice how, when Mav introduced himself, Rooster donned his O2 mask immediately! He also tried to warn the guys as they were making the bet.

nice catch!@@markymarknj

This movie is so Hollywood corny I expect John Wayne to come back from the grave any minute and throw rocks at it. And it grossed a billion? Wow have standards of what's considered entertainment taken a dive or what? Hahahaha

@@bill2953 Compared to most of the shit being made these days this movie was great. It's all relative.

Well, he left them to fend for themselves, and all they're doing is reminding him of that fact. If you wanna play Lone Ranger, Hangman, do a better job at remembering you did the "leaving your wingman" strategy boy-o.

@@girl1213 Phoenix is not a charter member of the Hangman fan club. Of course, is anybody? Except Hangman.

Actually that was a rather sanitized, dare I say, polite military banter!

@@rayedward5465 lol! Truth.

@@rayedward5465 Actually I thought the whole movie was pretty sanitized.

Gosh. This story…. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 from the holy Bible

Spoiler? So Rooster dies then

@@DrWatson4 No, he doesn't. But he puts himself in harm's way to save Maverick's life in the end. Same as my father's wingman, but with less tragic results.

me and my brother took our dad to the wall as well. all you can do is stand back and let them be. when he was done it was a very quiet walk out of the area. there aren't any words.

Wild how people just make up stories on the internet like this. Congratulations on your imaginary internet points.

I saw this scene before, saw the movie yesterday in the theatre and still it didn't click. Only now it is clicking.

@@railion6513 I missed it too. There is something how they present it it isn't attention grabbing.

@@2DarkHorizon I'm still thinking about the real meaning of the 3 guys saying: "that should have been us ", when Rooster is doing pushups.

​@@railion6513 Because during the training dog fight payback is about to go on lock from Maverick. But than rooster crisscrosses on Maverick gun sights drawing away attention from payback.

@@2DarkHorizon oh, that was payback saying so? Damn.

You know that line hit different cause he probably waited until they were struggling with those reps lol🤣

That's how much Maverick knows Goose. To the point he would know what Goose would say if he was with Maverick

That’s why Mav would always say “talk to me Goose.”

Really? No one caught that? Just you?

Yeah… Nobody caught that fact… Just you dude just you

@@herbderbler1585Me too, I never thought about it. Guess there's 2 of us that aren't as smart and all knowing as you.

He grew up knowing this guy. Hangman thinks Mav is cocky. Rooster just knows he's that *good*

Great catch! I didn't notice that. I love it when they put in little details like that.

And the part where Rooster baits Maverick away from his wing man - to save his life - with the line: "Not this time Old man..." Mission always come first...

Wow, thank you! It changes the whole scene. The next clip of him fixing his mask adds to the prep. What I now notice most is the "Guys" in the middle of the banter. Its placement sounded like Maverick saying "Guys that's a lot of push ups." I think its Rooster saying "Guys!" like time to be alert. So cool thank you again.

No duh.

@@akaviral5476 Don't be too harsh - he probably wasn't even alive back in '86

Actually that's the best way to handle a 2v1 fight. Each jet in the element goes a different direction, which forces your opponent to look out two sides of his canopy, which makes it substantially harder to defend.

@@digitaurus I was but I was addressing those that werent. Akaviral is an idiot.

They weren’t rookies. In fact they were some of the most experienced fighters the Navy had. One of them even had a confirmed kill before this. You calling them rookies just shows how unintelligent you are.

See: Owl Kitty Top Gun just for fun

@@veramae4098 hahaha. I just did. That was great.

Now if only Hollywood could do this with Aliens, the Terminator, Predator, etc

Well, they didn't shit on the original but neither did they respect Mavericks growth as a character during the original movie. He had to overcome his own cockyness and trauma after his wingmans death and finaly did so during the final fight. But then in Maverick he is still hunted, doesn't know when to stop and was kicked from Top gun after a short time as instructor because, apparently, he was still not disciplined enough. This just does not match the Maverick at the end of the original movie and i dont like that they just ignore the character of Charly. What happened to her and Mav? Who is this new chick? Don't get me wrong, Maverick was one of the better sequels we got over the last decade. But it was still not as good as it could have been. The entire first sequence with Maverick as test pilot for example was unnecessary and even counter productive because it ruined the characters growth over the first movie. Why not just make him a retired instructor who gets brought back for this mission? Wouldn't change any other part of the movie but not ruin Mavericks arc during the first movie.

​@@Fackeldackel I mean the whole point was he didn't become a completely different person, he's still a maverick. You think up there you're dead. I didn't see that as ruining the arc at all from first movie. It wouldn't shock me at all that he'd be determined to still be flying something instead of working a desk job as an admiral. What part of his arc from the first made you think he'd go eagerly off into the sunset and not do everything he could to stay in cockpit ? Did we watch different original movie arcs ?

Viper says that

So right….Jester does say that!

It's still in theaters. You should see it in theaters.

I've seen it yesterday. DO IT!

On the off chance you haven't seen it yet, it really is that good. I am still shocked that they made a Top Gun sequel that arguably surpassed the original.

Rooster's known Maverick since he was a child. He knows not to take anything for granted.

You haven’t watched it yet???

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHOOOOOOOHHHHH

Just like the interaction in Aliens…

@@robertlamont6092 Yeah I was thinking about that too. "Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?" "No. Have you?" That burnt worse than Alien blood.

Lol 😂

Tom Skerritt: (as Viper) Kids... Michael Ironside: (as Jester) Punks...

Knowing how stubborn of teachers they are, they probably have a radio next to their bed. *Maverick:* Leaving your wingman. That's a strategy I haven't seen in a while. *Viper:* We taught him well. *Jester:* He's still an asshole.

No shame, it's a great flick!

When it came out on Netflix, I watched it every night for 9 days. Yes, I am obsessed. Fantastic movie. ❤

Lot of callbacks in that movie. One of the things that made it fun.

@@rhoadesjerry9696 I agree

Bagman

And he got one, but not until Maverick's solo training run. Until then, I think "Bagman" still thought he was the best.

@@josephnewbern2717 It looked like he had a change of heart with the "Holy shit" scene right after these ones.

@@josephnewbern2717 And when he thought he lost BOTH Maverick and Rooster

I don’t know who’s cockier, Iceman from Top Gun, or Hangman from the sequel

I’d argue The Dark Knight is another sequel that deserves the same amount of respect

The Godfather 2 is also considered one of the best sequels of all time and it is also a prequel too.

Empire Strikes Back, Spider Man 2, Airplane 2, ...

TGM I've seen 8 times already, three in theaters and it was a fantastic sequel, but Aliens is still the best sequel to the original IMO

Empire Strikes Back. LOTR The Two Towers.

Smaller screens don't do it justice, it's AMAZING in theaters

It was a double edge sword on the who to take.. By Leaving him on the Carrier he put in in the Exact same spot Mav was in relation to Ice Man in the End of teh Original.. Not the Best Team player but the Best man to be the Cavalry when you need help yesterday

@@scotthartman8993 There was a lack of realism in the ending. Where is the BARCAP? A carrier force does NOT cruise around near and especially IN enemy waters without a CAP of some kind, who would have easily been able to respond to a friendly in trouble. Yes, Hangman was a backup, but he could have launched on Alert 5 when it was clear things were going south fast. An Alert 15 and Alert 30 would have been in the wings to deal with any contingency. Not to mention the sheer amount of anti-air missiles a carrier force carries. Great movie! Nothing wrong with it in terms of 'A Movie', or even as a sequel. It's just got some holes amidst the fantastic realism they slammed into it.

@@chrismaverick9828 Sure but the same can be said for the First Movie.. Where was the rest of the Battle Group with the Anti sub and AA screen?

Saw this one MV of Danger Zone where the music starts the _INSTANT_ she says that

I work with Top Gun graduates (it's called NSWAC now). They laugh at that line because they've all said that no one from their program would ever say that. If you're not busy learning, you're useless for future fights.

The old man you threw out of the bar

@@michaelgrampa8808 the look on Hangmans face when Mav entered the scene was so priceless

@@raikbarczynski6582 same as Maverick’s face in the original when Charlie walked in after he made a move on her at the club lol

And the fact he couldn't hold his laugh in with that joke either 🤣

It's also Maverick's Mantra. He's well aware of the tricks both new recruits and instructors alike will pull to get the best out of each other. Mainly because he helped invent them. So needless to say he won't get fooled by the recruits' attempts at besting him or let them be fooled by the same things he had to learn.

Definitely at least a thousand in this scene

I can think of worse ways to spend an afternoon

Hondo was enjoying it. He and Mav have been friends for a long time

Sr. NCO’s just love to deflate the ego’s of pompous Jr officers, it’s how they teach them leadership.

Scene you sure about JUST THAT

@@brucepraska7781 Well, ok....one of my favorites.

@@yxeaviationphotog that's what I thought I know NOBODY that doesn't love multiple scenes from this movie

Yep, was gonna say…scene?!? I think you mean the whole movie!! 😂

Hudson: "Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?" Vasquez: "No. Have you?"

@@F15ElectricEagle yep, that's the one!

I thought the same thing when I heard her line.

How else would we know she's a bad ass and can hang with the boys?

I thought the same as well. Nice Easter Egg

See you in the afterlife Bag Man

Holy shit it’s Viper

That's why we fo for that popcorn movie. To be entertained.

Subjective and we don't know how many movies you've watched or which ones. Plus bias reviews

@@houseofchinn6112bro shut up 😭 its not that deep

“Settle down”

You are the tool of society that we've come to expect...you should join the church of scientology.

Holly Shit! It's Viper.

Bruhhhhhh..... I also think that tho.

@@geoffreyjung7950 I mostly think of "that" vine XD

Lol. Agreed. And what I like the most is that they make Maverick beating them believable for the watchers by saying that the new generation have probably never really been in a real dog fight.

God damnit

Don't knock the heelo jocks - one of them saved my uncle's ass in Vietnam - went in when no one else would - took tremendous ground fire - pulling him out on strings after he was wounded in a NVA ambush. My Uncle told me he never did get the pilot's name... but never forgot him.

The Tornado is a hell of a great plane! Also, helos aren't easy and damn can they save your butt.

They are still Rookies compared to Maverick lol… which is the entire point of the movie with him training them as well as showing them that despite their skills they still have very little experience.

@@RuanAntunes7 I was smart enough as a young person to never underestimate the guys that were older than me and already doing it when I was in diapers. I always gave the proper amount of respect, especially when it was warranted. This is one thing that is greatly missing with young bucks today...

Well yes but I’m pretty sure it was stated that they’d all been deployed but seen no action with the exception of Hangman who had a confirmed kill. In the first movie Maverick got deployed a week or so after graduating along with the rest and even before he had already been deployed several times with MIG sightings on the carrier. I assume that’s what they mean with “rookies”.

@amilcarsafeca4808 I've actually come to believe that they were all figments of mavericks imagination. That he actually died in the test flight at the beginning of the movie and that explains why the rest of the movie is basically a Sci fi movie.

I loved Phoenix. She took no shit and gave some back of her own.

Does it trigger you? Pick up your skirt before you trip and hurt yourself.

It’s better the the first film. So much lord went into making the film. These guys would be upset to hear you say that the second is almost or as good as the original.
