100/10

no cut and no loud music at the end of the video, 10, i can give u that

No cheesy music at the end. 10/10 Thank you for sharing

Definitely an A+

Even worse is when its a Maverick fired BY a Maverick :D

“Its Cougar and Merlin and Maverick and Goose sir. “

Holy shit it’s viper is a better one

@@mudyao I think he was saying "Holy shit it's Maverick and Goose*

Thanks for this comment, I did notice him grabbing that switch when I watched it at the theater and again just now, and had been wondering what the purpose was. I figured it had to be important to be included.

Good observation 👍

So fucking badass

The other "reality" is he'd be out there til all hours of the night with the plane captain pulling panels and helping prep the jet for over-G inspection. That's after explaining to his commander why he just shortened the service life of a Navy asset.

Yes I didn't understand what was happening so thanks. I thought he was holding a laser guide on the target.

Game recognizes game

Hangman is sort of like Maverick during his younger days, but definitely not as hotheaded or brash as Maverick. Hangman is an absolute dick one moron said how he was misogynistic cuz he was "sexist" towards Phoenix but 1) Phoenix put him down without the typical feminazi screeching and 2) bag-I mean hangman is a dick to EVERYONE - even to Maverick when he stirred up shit before this scene. but he knows he's amazing (especially at the climax with that bragging rights). Moreover, he's smart. he was the only one who figured out the reason Maverick was paranoid about the mission parameters and pushing everyone so hard to do the impossible is because no one had done it before - including Maverick (until this scene). And also how he figured why Rooster has hatred for Maverick. And when he sees Maverick not only soloing the targeting + bombing and piloting but also being able to handle 10Gs he's impressed. I will say Hangman was a rly well written douchebag that isn't just a typical dumb dickwad but also someone who's smart and grounded to pick up issues while also taking the L gracefully and not throwing tantrum like a man baby

Because Hangman is a good pilot, and he knows that. Even Maverick was impressed by his skill. He has good reason to be confident. But he's not so full of himself to the point where he can't admit when he's impressed.

Hangman was definitely the best pilot there besides Maverick, but he didn't pick him for the mission because he was looking for disciplined team players.

His look goes from “alright let’s see what the old man’s got” to “he’s gotta make it” to “damn”

My favorite line is when Hangman says “We’re going into combat on a level no living pilot has ever seen before, not even him!”

Did you notice that actor smiled like the entire movie except for when he didn't get picked? That was such a subtle touch to make him seem like a cocky prick so much more.

@@robertoderrick8152 sorry wouldn’t give that info out, hope you understand.

He’s earned the right to be cocky

Maverick is aces, but 2 planes are needed for this mission. First plane to crack the exterior and second to bomb the interior. Mav couldn’t have done it by himself

@@Thrilla1978 True but let’s not forget this is just a movie, not real life. Lol

@@Thrilla1978 It's Maverick. Of course he can do it all by himself 😃

@@Thrilla1978 you don't understand. There were two pairs of jets. One pair was to bomb the entrance and the other bombs were meant for inside the complex. But each jet had a role. The first jet in the pair was lead the pair in and drop the bombs, the other jet was to lace the target with a laser so the first jet can track the target. Maverick didn't have a person to lace the target, he did that and dropped the bombs.

😂😂

I don't can about his personal life and views (even if I disagree with them), the man is an amazing actor, truly worth calling an action star.

You can tell he s way out of his comfort zone and is asking himself if he ll die crashing on a mountain flank... You can only respect an actor that is willing to put himself in that kind of position, also tells you what kind of aliens are experienced jetfighter pilots, not only do you have to dominate the physical demand but you also have to think at the same time and fast...overall the greatest action scene in decades...

AMEN!

Absolutely! So many not just good, but great, movies.

Love or hate.... Don't know. HUGE RESPECT 👍

Shaking his head because he knew it meant his friend Maverick would be picked to lead the mission and likely be killed

yeah man. agreed.... it's just like the movies

While the actors weren't actually in control of the planes, most if not all of the scenes in the cockpit were actually in the air with real G forces.

Bang on. Exactly how I try to run my own team. Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach him how to fish, feed him for a lifetime!

It’s just another movie nothing “real” about it

@@matthewtoddsr.6743 Shut up

Only seen it once...so far. No doubt like the original I'll watch it 100! times again over the years!

Indeed. And that’s what defines a well made and well edited scene. Especially when your movies have “heroes” that most likely are going to succeed and not die etc. I always refer to Casino Royale and Bond being poisoned (though that reference is a little harder to make now after No Time to Die). But I know damn well that Bond ain’t gonna die. And not mid-movie and in Craig’s first outing. Yet I’m on the edge of my seat even so. That’s good storytelling. That’s good editing and scene constructing.

@@LuckyNumber48 Casino Royale is another great movie, by far my favorite Bond movie. It doesn't matter if one thinks a character will or will not be harmed, so long as you are invested in the story you'll be sucked in emotionally.

Totally agree 👍👍

Said so much and yet so little was spoken...

No laser locked guided bombs either, he aimed them manually.

I love that the 2:15 was done within that time in the scene, from 0:22 - 2:37. defo on point

and he did it on his first try

@@MrTaczyk and only opportunity to do it right

@@RPG-oh1yf He still used laser guided bombs. Thats what the screen he was controlling was for. The difference was in the real mission, the backseater aimed the camera, not the pilot.

Facts, Games recognize Game! Maverick is the few of the OG pilot still flying.

I love how he didn't even try to contain his excitement in the F-14 carrier landing scene. Haha

Warlock is my favorite character in the movie. From his first scene to the last he is such a warm and supportive person. Second favorite would be Hondo.

He has the best line in the movie though “they’re called orders, Maverick”

@@ninjaskeleton6140 My favorite is one of these: "It's not the plane; it's the pilot." "This is your...Savior speaking." "It's what my dad would've done." "The Navy needs Maverick. The kid needs Maverick. That's why I fought for you. That's why you're still here." "What is WITH these two??" There are a lot of good lines. 😂

Yes. That is what is happening in the clip we are watching

those are guided bombs my friend not missiles

Hey man, a summary of the scene is not an analysis. We all saw the clip, we don’t need a play by play recap of what we just watched.

Love the recap!

Hangman actually looks cocky and disbelieving at the start, thinking that Maverick is full of shit and he can't wait to see this old guy loose for once. When Maverick actually pulls it off he seems to be a bit of disbelief and have some respect for him finally.

Scientology is crap but his movie is badass

I don't know why people throw so much shade at this dude for his church. Seems like it helps him. I think he was into it before he got famous. A lot of attacks on Mormons too. So much intolerance.

Its not a portrayal, thats real life, those are real images of them doing it live themselves. Check the making off, this is no CGI :D

@@Creati_Xx Portrayal does not always mean what you think it does...

I love how it's also totally believable too since the first scene of the movie shows him as a test pilot handling mach 10.5 easy(ish)

Only difference in RL: the Computer holds the laser on target. Mav just kind of forgot to Lock the Target (yes, GoT refference).

He's old .... better chance of winning the lottery than this actor actually being able to do this ... biologically speaking... he's a 50 yo with a weaker heart... less muscle tone

I''m with you Charlie. Everyone rags on him for scientology. Personally I don't care. Every religion is wacked out in their own right. Lol.

@@Josh-cw8by I would probably disagree with his views on a lot of things but he is one hell of an actor. Few and willing to go as far as he does for the characters he plays (Keanu Reeves and Christian Bale also come to mind).

Religious views aside, he’s probably the last few blockbuster actors out there.

*let's be honest, he has a very very good agent.*

He makes entertainment and he's damn good at it. Case in point The last Samurai.

Just in video games and simulators, a run this close to the ground gets me pumped and my butt clenching. Doing this for real would cause me to shit my soul out, lol. I knew just from watching, this run is possible but it was going to be close. It is also batshit insane, which makes for a great movie. They really did this right when the pilots themselves were on the edge of their seats, and even Warlock put on his "Oh, this is gonna be good" pose. The part where he does a small hand pump at the end of the run was also gold. They gathered the tension beautifully while keeping the eyes on the action.

And the conversation after that when cyclone chose to risk his career by appointing mav as team leader was one of the best lines in the movie

Because Cyclone's been where Maverick's been but he has way more responsibility now

I'm actually impressed with your comment..... please can we be friends if you don't mind, where are you located

What kills it though...in the beginning of the movie, Mav is a Captian over 30yrs....he would have been forcibly retired. They should have made him a contractor.

Icman 2.0 😉

@@Juggernaut30 nah. Hangman was the new maverick. Rooster was iceman 2.0 Iceman was a by-the-book guy, while maverick was the dangerous cowboy.

YES YES YES. Seeing this now for the first time on the little screen and fifth time overall, I cannot emphasize this enough: Jon Hamm lends a perfect weight to the scene without saying one goddamned word.

Absolutely!!! In fact, when Maverick tells him "bring them home alive", he understands how important that is & as much as he dislikes his methods, he surely wants Maverick to succeed over himself!

Yes! John Hamm is brilliantly subtle in his performance, and only has relatively brief screen time for the weight he brings. The actor playing Warlock is perfectly reserved in his admiration for Maverick throughout, too.

IMAX cameras were not used...

@@farooqmalik8848 yes they were idiot. they also used 3 cameras for screenX

Exactly, I’d rather watch it in Dolby Vision instead of watching it in IMAX when it’s not even filmed with IMAX cameras.

I actually did watch this in IMAX. It was terrific.

I watched it in Dolby MX, and that was terrific. IMAX makes me motion sick bad!

and maybe it's just the way Hamm played it....but he knew Maverick was gonna get it done. LOL

Yet he ended up making the tough call. The 3 star's actions show the kind of stress and strain that comes with those jobs and how the calls that matter must be made. Overall, it was an excellent role and well-played by John Hamm.

@@tnsampson2 Dude, I totally thought the same thing, he played this role very well, about the only way he had to play it to sell it to us all in the audience that was this was not a cake-walk of a mission, and the subtle camera-choreagraphy as you see him go from, WHAT THE to DAMN, HE PULLED IT OFF, you could just see him resigning to the fact that Maverick was boss in that sequence, and his students got to see it happen in live action....

@@migueldelamata5981 Cyclone disliked Maverick for the same reasons Iceman disliked Maverick at first, and he ended up respecting Maverick for the same reasons Iceman did.

I like how all the kids are sitting cocky and smug at the beginning and then they get a reality check as he makes his way through the canyon ahead of time.

The movie was so well done, it absolutely blew the original out of the water IMO

Not quite. Maverick crosses the start point for the exercise at exactly 0:24 seconds in the video. 2 mins 15 secs should mean he hits the target at 2 mins 39 secs running time. He hits the target at 2mins 34 secs. So the exercise in actual fact only lasts exactly 2 minutes 10 seconds. Editor messed up. Because that would have been a great bit of detail.

@@surindersingh724 add the 0.16 remaining on the mission he did it in less than 2:15

Wow basic movie filming skills.

@@PoleToPoleTravel the original was propaganda trash

In actual military training, that would have been done day 1 of training to demonstrate what right looks like, rather than at the 11th hour, while it is undeniably more dramatic this way, it certainly stands out as obviously not accurate to anyone who has spent any time in the US Armed Forces

This scene and the whole mission at the end. That part where Mav comes in and saves Rooster with the flares especially.

I've seen it 36 times in the theater and 3 times at home.

Theres still time for him, dont worry

Hangman was the parallel of Maverick. Cocky, reckless, superb aviator, needs more experience. There's no parallel for Iceman, though.

@@zikunzeng5871 Phoenix was Iceman. She was the best of the bunch (notice how everyone knows her in the bar scene, she has a rep already), she was the most level headed, she was the one that kept up with Maverick during the mission without hesitation. The difference lies in that TG constantly told you Iceman was the best without showing us how until AFTER they graduated from the program, TG2 showed us Phoenix was the best from the get go without having to tell us.

@@samuelperezgarcia Well in feminist obsessed Hollywoke a woman has to be shown she's as good as a man, but out in the real world woman are lets say different.

@@Puzzoozoo lol i hate the feminist push as much as anyone, but Phoenix was not that at all man. She has clearly established pros and cons, and develops as the story progresses. Sure she has a rep, they all do, since they are all previous Top Gun graduates, contrary to the cast of the first Top Gun. She is the most level headed and as a result is the most well rounded pilot, but she is never the best in any category, which is her negative. Hangman is a better flyer, Rooster is more altruistic, Bob is more knowledgeable, etc... This means her character actually has room to develop as the story progresses similar to say Helen Ripley in Aliens. A real example of a Mary Sue hollywood feminist icon is Rey in star wars, who, without training is better at fighting than Kylo, wiser than Luke, better at ship repair than Han (on his own ship no less), and is seemingly able to pull from her rear the needed skills, morals or knowledge to overcome the obstacle ahead. She never comes face to face with an obstacle that forces her to self reflect and grow as a character, because she is flawless and can overcome any obstacle. Phoenix, on the other hand loses before Hangman to Maverick in the first training exercise and ends up hospitalized with Bob after her plane crashes after hitting birds. She is skilled but without Maverick's training, will not succeed at having herself or the team survive the mission

you mean 30 years from now. just like the first one.

@@brakmaster This exceeds the first one in terms of writing IMO.

Best movie in at least the last 50yrs. Possibly even a century!!

I can't think of a single movie that had me this pumped coming out of the theater. Honestly none that were even close. They nailed it 100%.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Hackman have entered the chat.

Not much cgi on this one, they flew it

His face stretched because he was in a real plane, no need to fake it if its real.

@@MrSnrSquishy even better!

It's amazing when you get an immersive movie like this versus a CGI green screen type movie. Seeing the actors do the actual stuff, and yeah I know it was a trainer airplane so there was an actual pilot doing the flying with the actors in back but still, seeing them do this rather than some computer-generated stuff is so much better..

@@themandownthehall There are things that doable w/o CGI and there are some which is none. Also have to take into consideration the budget. CGI is not naturally bad. Also good CGI hard to distinguish from reality (ofc not talking about stuff that is 100% "fake", as we all know, like space species, huge robots, monsters, extinct animals...) It could be done with no CGI.

these wweere not practical effects. they really shot everything in real jets with real pilots

@@iggswanna1248 I think that’s what he meant. Big props to the filmmakers

@@iggswanna1248 practical effects means doing it with real stuff.. the actors were legit in planes but actual navy pilots flew the planes. That's why it seems so realistic.

Best 2:14.84 in any movie, actually

The thing is though that in order to truly appreciate this scene you have to understand it in the context of what’s happened in the movie leading up to this point, and to truly appreciate this movie I think it’s best to have also seen the original Top Gun movie. I can imagine that people who stumble over this clip but who haven’t seen Top Gun Maverick might not be all that impressed by this sequence. Those who have though understand the significance of what’s happening here and why it’s so great.

I'm actually impressed with your comment..... please can we be friends if you don't mind, where are you located

At the following times, there are "mysterious" voices in the audio. They're in the background and very subtle. Do you notice these? 1:11 "smoke in the air" 1:14 "what is happening?" or "what is up there?"

All in cockpit sounds are special effects. And they are great...giving this scene 200% more intenstity.

I agree, everything had a certain "weight" to it. Even if the CGI is top notch you will always miss something compared to a movie like this

Already done.

Thats cuzz the danger was real. Unlike most this was a plane flying through that canyon

Difference being, he's turning left and right with about 5 to 6 G's of pressure compressing against his lungs. Without proper breathing techniques that coincide with each turn and maneuver he will have a very high chance of having a very bad day.

Lol im afraid it being real doesn't make it any less of a snoozefest. I'm guessing you've really gotta be into planes, or the first top gun, or time trials haha

@@lukesymons6034 If you're into aviation, or military or things that go fast, then this is your movie. If not, then not. They make no apologies about this not being a movie for everyone. But it is a great movie for the people that are into it.

@@lukesymons6034 or maybe life and death situations, personal responsibility, mentorship, honor and sacrifice. It’s more than an action scene. Maverick is proving that the mission can be accomplished with lower risk to the pilots than an “easier” route. His failure here would likely mean the future deaths of many if not all of the pilots going on that mission, pilots he was tasked with training. Maverick also places his remaining career on the line by using a plane without authorization. Without Iceman bailing him out that was likely going to be his last time in a navy plane, whether he succeeded or not.

The moment Rooster realized his Dad's death is an accident and there is no way Maverick would have killed Goose being the best pilot in the world...

agreed man... just like the movies

One of the things that really helps is that its not done in a simulator, its not CGI, Tom Cruise and everybody else were actually flying in real jets pulling real Gs. They werent flying the jets themselves, of course, but they were in the cockpits. You cant fake that level of realism, and its something I always appreciated about Tom Cruises movies.

Yeah and give every other stuntmen an Oscar for "acting" too. Let's be honest, there's not much acting here as much as actually playing a day to day role and that deserves an award of its own, even of highest prestige but it's not a best actor award, that's for sure. At best, he can get one for production design or cinematography Oscar but it would not solely belong to him as there were other producers and an ensemble crew in the film.
