If top gun maverick starts like this I will probably cry.

I just watch Top Gun:Maverick in the theater. The opening and this epic music exactly the same., almost into tears....

Unbelievable, I just saw Top Gun Maverick yesterday... the intro is like going back in time.... the whole audience in the cinema applauded...

Can we all agree this was the best opening to a movie!!!

My oldest son CPO Keith Bemis, died in the line of duty in 2012. This was his favorite movie and probably the reason he joined up. Keith was on the flight crew, he had a leather jacket, rode a motorcycle, and lived in Cali just like Maverick. When I watch this I can see his life and it comforts me.

Just saw Top Gun Maverick today, and never before i shed a tears of joy in just 3 minutes after a movie Intro..

Top gun maverick is the best sequel movie. Love how it started with this iconic scene

Who's here after watching the 2022 film? The moment you realize that they went with pretty much the original intro... The music, the colors even the cutting, it was amazing. The new movie is a perfect balance between nostalgia and a new story!

3:21 the guy with the little kick move is one of those things in an old movie that you watched a million times, has nothing to do with the actual story, but you always remember that moment.

Can we take a moment and recognize the legend that is Leg Kick Guy?

Just watched Top Gun: Maverick, and I just can't help it to come here n watch this classic opening again. Doesn't feel like a 36 years old movie, feel like it gonna last for eternity.

A generation of navy pilots were created by this one scene.

The film quality and cinematography are still outstanding, 30+ years later.

1.2K dislikes are actually likes. They are inverted.

Absolutely loved the new movie! Could not have asked for a better sequel. I still hold the original, but props for keeping it alive!

This opening is so iconic, and the music is so perfect - you can tell that it's Top Gun before that first beat drops. There's an actual sound just before the drum, almost like the breath a singer takes before the opening note. You need nothing more to know what world you're in. Brilliant.

I had the honor of serving as a flight deck director (yellow shirt) on board the USS Independence when this movie came out....didn't pay for a single beer anywhere in the world for 2 years! 👍😀

Back in the 80s and early 90s almost every single electronics store was using this opening scene to show off their home theater equipment. :D

I strongly believe that this opening scene is the coolest and most exciting one of all movie scenes ever.I’m 16 years now.All teenagers should see this once!

There's something I've always loved about the guy at 3:18. He's enjoying this job. He has a little moment of celebration that it was a successful land. There was always that guy in every unit. Completely competent, fully capable of doing his job but loved to have a good time.

Best part for me was the deck hand throwing an excited kick out there when the f14 catches the arresting gear. He knows his job is awesome/fun and hes havin a blast out there bringing those planes in. Epic scene.

THIS IS THE BEST STARTING SCENE OF ANY MOVIE EVER MADE. ANYTIME BABY.

I saw Top Gun: Maverick today and what a masterpiece. Tom Cruise is the biggest movie star on the planet.

何回観てもオープニングは本当鳥肌立つ😳 マーヴェリックでも涙出るくらい込み上げてきてとても感動しました🥹

This has been and always will be my all time favorite movie opening! The radio chatter, the flight deck crew doing their thing, the sounds of the jet engines amping up all leading up to that final salute and the steam catapult launching the tomcat into the sunrise - controlled chaos at its best! Being a military brat, I might be biased ^-^

When I was a kid, the F-14 was THE fighter aircraft of the 80s. My dad was in the USAF, we were stationed at AFBs with F-15s and F-4s...but nothing could compare to the outright aggressive and fearsome look of the F-14 Tomcat. Top Gun immortalized this great airplane for an entire generation of aviation enthusiasts worldwide :)

Even though she's retired, the F-14 Tomcat is still one of the most badass planes ever made.

35 years later and this iconic scene still holds up magnificently, just unreal & amazing! Certainly it was ahead of its time by several years. And the music just draws you right in, that low steady beat that promises much & eventually delivers as it reaches that exciting & unforgettable crescendo! Everything about this scene screams perfection. Words cannot describe how powerfully & euphorically mesmerized I was upon watching this gloriously upbeat scene for the first time as an 11 year old back in the early Fall of 1986, totally blown away & wondrously riveted as I was! Had never seen anything like it. For all the various elements work together harmoniously & fall into place seamlessly, the music, sound of the jets firing up, the lighting & its overall, dream like effect, along with the sublime cinematography, all of it just marvelously knitted together, with the end result being this beautifully surreal, fantastically rendered, trance inducing masterpiece, one that still holds up today!

the real star of this film is the grumman f-14 tomcat

My dad had the privilege of serving on the flight deck when this film was being made. Lucky man I tell you!

My dad was an aircraft technician for the French Army. I was born the year Top Gun got released. I got pictures of me as a 4yo kid wearing a pilots helmet way too big for my little head while watching Top Gun and pretending to be Maverick. I grew up with sounds of aircraft motors, smell of kerosene and a neverending love for aviation, for human beings who are able to push the limits to the extreme, for great pioneers who are ready to sacrifice themselves to go beyond. Fast forward to 2022, seeing Top Gun Maverick as a grown up 37 years old had me crushed into tears in a matter of seconds.

I was 16 when I first saw Top Gun in 1986, since then TG was like the theme of my life, i listened to the soundtrack on the weekends with family, dance the music in parties with friends, played TG nintendo game all night, listened to TG anthem for inspiration when im depressed and feeling down. Today I am 52. We watched TG maverick yesterday here in The woodlands, Texas with my wife and 3 kids. When the movie intro played, my 27 yr old said “pops its the same intro!” and DAMN.. the experience was so unreal.. like I time traveled 36 yrs back! it was pure pure nostalgia, goosebumps all over, i felt like 16 again! the movie brought a childs awe and smile on my face and i was teary eyed at the end.. TG maverick exceeded my expectations! Its as good as the first TG, I will watch again! so anyway.. after watchin the movie on my way home i was slamming my nissan armadas gas pedal like flying an F16 tomcat 😄Thank you so much! its just priceless 😍

The intro of this film gets me everytime. I can only imagine the pure adrenaline rush one may get from witnessing an F-14 tomcat entering and taking off from the flight deck. The view of endless ocean at sunset. The SOUND of a jet engine generating enormous thrust. Even the guy at 3:22 doing that leg shimmy once the cables have hooked. You can tell he loves his job! There can't be anything else in the world as exciting as this. I'd give up everything to do stuff like this for a living and be enthusiastic about what I do, being a part of something great. God bless the US Navy 🇺🇸🚢⚓

I served in the Navy when this movie was being made. Some of our pilots and aircrew were actually in some of the scenes. I met a few of the actors during this time. They used some of our hangar spaces in the making of it.

Love this opening, having spent 4 years on the USS Truman on the flight deck this was our theme song

いつ観ても、このOPシーンにしびれる。

I was always mesmerised by the way the scene starts with the deck crew appearing through smoke and fog, the silhouettes of men and aircraft slowly taking shape, the slow music building up until the F-14 launch and Kenny Loggins kicks in.

Best opening theme for any movie ever. Felt so awesome when the top gun maverick started exactly like this.

I'm back here after seeing Top Gun: Maverick. Pure 🔥🔥🔥

TOP GUNは何度も観たけどこのシーンは何度観てもカッコいい

Kudos to Top Gun Maverick for reusing this opening. Such a masterpiece; I wasn't even close to being this elated when I was watching Endgame.

I've watched this movie LITERALLY hundreds of times and this opening gives me chills to this very day. 😆

Anyone watching films in the 80s knows this intro, a film dedicated to showing how revered US fighter pilots are amongst their countrymen. Lots of perfect storms in the making of the film, the subject, the cast, the score, all these things contributed to making it one of the most iconic films of the 80s era and to this current day. Pure Gold. 🤩

I was praying they didn't touch this iconic intro for the sequel. They didn't disappoint.

2:28 This scene always gives me goosebumps

My 2 son's and I love that movie so much! My youngest followed his brother's footsteps by going into the Marine Corps, and I'll never forget one of the phone calls to me... He said "Mom!!! This is just like Top Gun!!! It's so cool!!!" . He was 2 years old when the movie came out and he had to watch it at least every other day. When it came out on VHS we of course bought a few because the constant playing of it would wear it out. DVD was awesome, same thing. In the early days of BluRay, he bought it just so that he could watch Top Gun. It really inspired him and I'm so proud of both of my son's, who still currently are serving our country in The United States Marine Corps. I love them both so much! My oldest son loved the movie too but not to the extreme of his brother. 13 days after 9/11, my oldest son was on the bus to Parris Island. So in between the attack and on his way to boot camp, he was amazingly doing so much in such a short time period to join the Marine Corps and be on that bus 13 days later, which was Sept 24th. I am the proudest mother in the world to have my children want to go out and want to serve and protect our country. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

That transition in music and filming between "calm before the storm" and "pure rage" is simply amazing.

the perfect marriage... F14's, sunsets, Great 80's soundtracks, and the whine and roar of jet engines! The best movie opening of all time!

TOPGUN-MAVERICK really start like this, and even the navy platform scene is still the same. This give me chills & goosebumps

Having served in the Navy aboard a carrier this opening put me right back on that ship.

Top Gun: Maverick does this justice!

just watch Top Gun maverick, so glad they used the same opening

SPOILER : Yes, they remastered this legendary opening omg!!!

A perfect opening. Nothing and everything is happening at the same time

戦闘機が好きな友達が、オープニングだけでお腹いっぱいになったと絶賛した映画でした。 戦闘機好きじゃなかったけど、感動したのを思い出しました。

This is by far the best opening sequence in modern cinema history. Brings a tear to my eyes every..single..time.

I haven't met one person that doesn't use this first 5 minutes of a movie to test their home theatre system when it's finished.

Best opening in cinematic history, no other movie comes close, no other movie had such a great opening.

They recreated this for the sequel!!!!

Best movie opening in history. This will go down in history

You might be cool, but you'll never be "taking off in an F-14 Tomcat with Danger Zone playing on the background" cool

The amount of people who became actual fighter pilots because of this movie is honestly incredible 👌👌

Some of the best four minutes ever put on film, never gets old

Love this opening, probably the best of any movie. The calm melody building up to the roar of those engines, then as soon as those F14's are catapulted off the ship... Danger Zone kicks in!

So happy they did this again for top gun maverick. Executed perfectly

As an aircraft mechanic of 8 years now. This scene always gets me, I obviously haven’t worked on a carrier but it still holds the same value of seeing that aircraft you work on when there’s a red ball and you fixing that problem let’s that jet take off and complete its mission

We Japanese also like this movie. I am grateful to the Self-Defense Force and the US Army for protecting us. The new movie "Maverick" was also very impressed. I work in an emergency hospital, and watching this movie gave me courage. Thank you for Top Gun. And Tom Cruise.🇺🇸🇯🇵

I remember heading DIRECTLY to the Air Force recruiter after seeing the movie for the 3rd time and So Stoked.... Thankfully the recruiter was honest with me. He said if you want to join the forces then sign up.... But, if you want to FLY.... Join the NAVY!!! Yes Sir! 😁👍

the best opening to any film ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nearly shat myself when I saw the intro to top gun maverick was a tribute to this opening, I cried tears of joy and felt like I was in a time machine

Still gives me the chills!!! Isn't nostalgia a beautiful thing.

Best movie opening ever😎! Gives me chills every time I watch it. So far no other movie has ever been able to compete with this epic opening 🤷‍♀️

33 years and this is still Badass AF. Also so stoked for Maverick

Let’s hear it for Harold Faltermeyer! Brilliant composer who has created some of the most iconic musical memories in film, including this one.

One of the greatest movies ever made.

Love the cinematography of this movie... the choice to film these scenes with a low sun (2:39 look at the sun glint off that metal bird in the dim, mysterious light). One of the best movies of all time.

I always loved watching those afterburners lock in to full power right before the launch!!

Hell yeah, even with Super Bugs and F-35’s this can’t be topped. Still fantastic to see this recreated in Maverick!

Best opening credits scene of all time. Hands down.

GOD, I LOVED THIS MOVIE!! I MISS THE 80S!!

Thus begins the greatest United States Navy recruiting video of all time.... (and it was **awesome**)

こんなにかっこいいオープニングはこれ以上ないマジで痺れる

11年ぶりにトップガンを見て 本当に感動しかなかったです どの映画より好きだなぁ 3回目も必ず見に行く！！

Hi, im from the future, Top Gun Maverick opening will be like this 👍🏻

OMG! Can I just say, thank you 80's. The BEST years of my life. This movie takes me straight back to high school days. Wow....

That transition from the score to Danger Score is perfect in both the original and Maverick.

I saw this on the big screen yesterday. What an experience. The theatrical experience cannot be equaled.

Probably the coolest and most exciting opening to any movie ever made. BRAVO ZULU

The greatest film opening scene ever

Ah that sound of the engines roaring overlayed with danger zone, the best cinema around...

An opening sequence so good that the sequel paid the perfect homage to it with a near perfect replica/update.

Still one of the great film openings, and practically worth the price of the movie all by itself. Some of the great truths of film are that either A) beautiful cinematography or B) the skillful use of a soundtrack can make any movie seem twice as good as it is. Whatever failings the critics found in it, "Top Gun" had them both in spades.

THEY DID IT! THEY DID IT! I'M CRYINNGGG ♥️♥️♥️😭😭😭

Top Gun: Maverick lives up to this gem of a film 100%

What the heck…I’m just gonna say that this is best opening movie scene…ever!

Who didn’t want to be a fighter pilot after watching this. I can still watch it today and love every minute of it. Best opening and song ever and little old mate doing the kick brought so much joy to people lol

3:08 there's just something about that shot of the LSOs following the Tomcat as it landed. It's just so incredible.

Maverick is such a nostalgia trip, and top gun is older than me lol

So far I’ve saw the latest one twice! Going for a third this coming Thursday! Keeping the nostalgia alive to the 10th power!

Most iconic movie opening of all time! Timeless, never gets old! Still gives me the chills like the first time I saw this!
