Top Gun: Bob

The training sequence where Mav goes rogue to show them it could be done is probably one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever.

3. Pickleball???

I'd like to see a shot-for-shot remake of the original volleyball scene with all women, bikini tops optional.

Yea just thinking about it makes me want to rewatch the whole movie again.

Small thing, but I really liked that there were two pop songs on the Top Gun Maverick soundtrack and were promoted as such, music videos with movie clips included. Just like when I was a kid.

I saw in 5x in theaters almost specifically for that scene

It's so hard to top what they did with TG Maverick, especially the ode to the original with the opening credits, flashbacks, and references.

But if Cruise is on board with the storyline, I'm in.

I hope they continue the tradition of opening on an aircraft carrier with the original score.

That start in the theater made me happy. Couldn't believe they started it like that.

Would love to see them up the ante where there is a real war going on, even if the opponent is using drones/AI fighters, and Maverick is an actual squadron commander. have them all flying off the aircraft carrier USS Thomas Kazansky 5-10 years in the future. Have Rooster and Hangman in a love triangle with fine-ass Phoenix, then she dies and they have to repair the friendship,

And how about some justice for my boy Manny Jacinto (BORTLES!) who got absolutely shredded for Maverick and then completely cut minus 2 or 3 long distance background shots.

Legitimately the only thing that disappointed me in Maverick was unmet expectations of Jason Mendoza screen time.

He should have had a photo of Blake Bortles in the cockpit with him

And his callsign should have been Molotov

Jaguar would have worked as well

Guess I'm going back to the movie theater. My last two movies were a Top Gun re-release in imax and Top Gun: Maverick.

Other than Tropic Thunder, it's hard to imagine Tom Cruise being a secondary character in any movie.

Maybe it's time for Maverick/Les Grossman crossover.

They should leave it alone. I was excited about Top Gun 2 but this installment has a high likelihood of crashing and burning. Let it go Tom!

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

Warlock is the lowkey MVP of Maverick

My husband and I had just started dating when this came out in the theaters. We were both stationed with VA-122 at the time in Lemoore, California. He was a flight instructor for the carrier jet A-7E Corsair and I was an admin officer. He had actually served with some of the pilots that were consultants for the movie. It will be cool getting to see it in the theater again after 40 years. Brings back a ton of memories in my life.
