Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

>gets missile lock >doesn't leave >enemy pilot gives him the middle finger >leaves

Mig 2 left his wingman...you never ever leave your comrade behind.

Fun fact, neither this movie or the new Top Gun: Maverick ever actually mention the adversary country. As this movie was right around the end of the Cold War, they never tried making Russia the enemy. But everyone just calls the enemy Russia because it’s easy and it does make sense.

I just find it funny that he has the camera with him. Like I could imagine this being the only scenario where he use the camera.

Fun fact: The person that played the mig pilot actually smiled When goose took a picture

Mig-28 pilot seeing Mav flip him off: man I just wanted to say hi, fuck this I’m going home 😢

Cougar requested permission to shoot back😂 while he can’t even shake off the MiG.

I just noticed something for the first time. At 2:16 the callsigns stenciled on the F-14 in frame say Maverick/Merlin. In the original draft of the movie's script, Goose was Cougar's RIO and Merlin (earlier called Wizard, I believe) was Maverick's (as Goose was the best RIO in the squadron paired with the then "best pilot"), and they got paired together when Cougar turned in his wings. Amazing what high definition brings out. Also, whoever's in the back seat in that shot is wearing Maverick's helmet. Yet at 2:41, so can clearly see Pete Mitchell and Nick Bradshaw mirrored under the canopy.

Love it when people are like "Obviously they were Russians, they were flying MiGs". Ummmm you know other countries have MiGs? Just like other countries have F-16s?

That Mig had missle lock forever, no wonder Cougar was freaked out in the next scene.

I miss Goose :( my heart broke when he died and i got so sad when we got to see Rooster look just like his dad. I love Rooster too, he has the attitude of a real pilot and he's just like Goose but also in his own way

"Mig 28s" gets me everytime

Goose is hilarious in this scene lmao 🤣 I love these 2 ❤

"I know the finger Goose.." 🤣 Might put this one on later today lol.

At 1:02 Mav is DEFINITELY in some type of insane roll. That is a wicked roll rate on the artificial horizon lololol

still to this fay i can't tell whether the russian pilot smiled back

This one one of my favorite clips; in part 2 some found this hard to believe when they were explaining it

You crack all of us up.

I love to play this scene while blasting my ears away with the engine sounds

no buddy, Mav's idea of fun is going closer to lightspeed. as close as he can ever get.

Maverick fr loves to go upside down on top of other planes canopy-to-canopy

I love black F-5E Tigers with Soviet stars, 10/10

I wonder if that guy would’ve still done missile lock on Cougar if Maverick hadn’t done that to his wingman. Also wish there was some type of way they could’ve told us that they fought them at the end also. Would’ve been a nice callback to the beginning of the movie

That scene is the peak of the movie. change my mind.

Maverick’s philosophy in dealing with “foreign relations.” 😂

TopGun movie was a recruitment project for the U.S Air Force. ”Maverick” (Tom Cruise) recruited more pilots than the military itself after people saw the movie.

😂Lol. I love it when a plan comes together.

I love Gooses' 'Is this your idea of fun Mav?'

These aren't russian pilots. These are unnamed enemy pilots.

Iceman: “bullsh*t”

It's hard to imagine this is a real job people actually have

2:39: GREETINGS 🖕😂😂😂

I love this one😭😭😭😭

That's ma boy I got that same bird Before west Virginia Good ya see ya tom c.

The fact the middle finger came up is me LMFAO

The Navy pilot who flew as the "Russian" in the MiG was actually Sandy Winnefeld who was the vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff from 2011-2015. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_A._Winnefeld,_Jr.

When mav takes a pic of the emy pilot he looked so pissed off 😂

0:17 Notice how that red marking on the radar looks an awful like a silhouette of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek

2:32 my favorite 😂

I know nobody asked or cares, but in these scene, my dad’s CEO on the USS Abraham Lincoln was the Russian pilot getting flipped off.

I lost him in the Sun, and I am too stupid to use the Visor.... Ähhhh 🌞🌞🌞😅😅😅

At the time this was filmed, those were soviet pilots.

“Cougar?”

2:55 “this is a great shot Mav, I should be a photographer”

Hey man, It works great and without any problems.

Don't leave your wingman.

Fun fact, the F5s were not black, they were painted black with a “plastidip” type of paint

if i were the Mig pilot, I would have shown him two middle fingers back, 2X the power!!!!

Those migs look just like F-5s, that's weird, lol.

I WAS LITERALLY SEARCHING THIS SCENE IN TOP GUN MAVERICK BRO 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Rogue Nation pilot

Goose: Is this your idea of fun, Mav? Me: Well, you took a photo!

Bro the enemy had he’s eyes closed when goose took the shot I can’t tell if he’s pissy or happy 💀

Mig 2 left his comrade. Legend says he got to Russia and was banished from it.

When monarch has had enough of crimson 1

Wait lmao finally realized those are just F5 now that i grew up

In my mind I think that the Russian pilot was saying "wow you got this dude"

You may like to know that in both this film and the new Top Gun, the name of the county that they are fighting is never actually mentioned.

We don't know they're Russian, They might be Chinese or North Korean & I know MiG is Russian but they do buy some of their planes.

Their actually Korean MiGs, they have a star on their make the same one on the flag. Yet some people aren’t aviation geeks and know this so it’s fine if some think their Russian, but the star on the mask means there Korean.

Because I was inverted🛩

“Because I was inverted”

2:39 Greetings.

That wasn't a Mig it was a F-5

Mig-28??? Looks like F-5 tigers to me.

the enemy isnt russian but korean

How do they not have glasses or visors in the sun I can’t even drive like that

US in Hollywood vs US soldier in real life....Vietnam😂

2:42 Watch The Birdie

Soviet* They're not just Russians. They're also Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Moldovans, Kazakhs, Armenians, etc.

We all know those aren't Mig-28s. Its just the US Navy using F5 Tigers

Man those mig 28s are awesome😂 Love the movie bug calling f5s mig 28s is soooo annoying

They took my paperwork for my lunch ticket something like that

rip goose

...in a movie everything is possible...

1. This movie was made in 1986. There was no Russia in those days. 2. That guy was american.

Good thing it wasn’t a balloon, Maverick wouldn’t stand a chance

Fun fact: maverick was actually fighting North Korea not russia in topgun

"No actual russians were harmed in this scene"

The best part of the dogfight scenes in TG1 is how they repeat everything twice. The best part of the dogfight scenes in TG1 is how they repeat everything twice. I dont know why they do it. I dont know why they do it. It must increase the intensity effect of the scene. It must increase the intensity effect of the scene.

how can he be top gun when he got shot him self you dont wont to know wot happed to the other one gods work 👍🙏👁

Never mind the fact the tail fins would hit the other plane. 😂

Notice how nobody ever sees the shot?

Migs ?? That's an f-5 tiger

These MIGs lok like F5s.

My question has always been - Is that flip at 2:28 areonautically possible to keep sustained at such close range?

btw wasn't it a f-5 rather than mig?

Fun fact. In the early drafts the "Enemy Nation" was supposed to actually be North Korea

Whole of bradford laughing Irene irene

I shot down 2 Mig-28's. I remember it well, we were at 30,000 feet, deep over Poon Tang, North of the DMZ. We were in deep, and we had to act...

have to say Tomcat looks good but Tiger is good looking too...

You do know that these migs ain’t Russian but North Korean?

We are clean. Sladeski

Only in movies US pilots can do stunts like this.

man i wish they actually had MIGs on their sets but sadly definately no nation was just gonna give up their (at the time) 'soviet' jets at the time so we get F5s instead

The russian were in f5 tigershark

Don’t think, just do

The most iconic scene in top gun ** *

Who said anything about russian/sovjet pilots?
