Thats an F14 at the very end of the trailer. Maybe Maverick has one of his own he got to keep...or bought.

My guess is that he's a test pilot or stunt pilot doing training school teaching on the side. That'd sort of explain the appearance of the P51 and the F14.

Maverick is probably working a second job to pay his four ex-wives alimony, or to pay part of a settlement from the Tailhook scandal. :wink:

New Trailer

I think they may have nailed the feel of the first one and I really didn't think it was possible. I was excited after the first trailer but this one makes this movie shoot to the top of my [very short these days] go to the theater list.

Me and my wife would have loved this one. Didn't get to see the first in theaters together but made up for it on rentals and tv :)

Ok, that was some stealth shit right there at the end...reminds me of the L.A. Speed Story. If you've never heard that, look it up and give it a listen. Great story.

It would have been nice if someone like Maverick were able to take the final F-14 on its last flight before being dismantled, but I believe that happened many years ago. It would have been a fitting end to the Top Gun franchise. Well, until JJ Abrams is allowed to do his own continuation series.

Lol, just like with fhe SR71 Blackbird. Last flight they broke the cross country record from LA to DC, landed the plan and threw the keys at the Smithsonian :)

Spoiler:
I can neither confirm nor deny the following.
It is a decent follow up to the original as far as the dog fighting aspects go.
The story is a bit blander than the original.
The story is mostly predictable
Some of you are on the right track for certain plot points
There is a forced, but surprising tie-in to the original
The Tomcat is in part of the movie, but also in a forced way. (But still enjoyable)
There is no volleyball in this one. (Look closer at the trailer)
the movie is still in post production
I may be able to neither confirm nor deny other things if asked

Cross Top Gun with the Night at the Museum movies, and you could have a blast featuring dogfights between many different aircraft from different eras. I'm surprised this hasn't happened as one of the movies was even set at the Air & Space Museum. Maybe they could set one at the Annex.

Dang it - Top Gun 2 to Memorial Day, 2022.

Mission Impossible 7 to Sept 30, 2022.

Its seems the first movie was about a 'Maverick' pilot who thinks he is great and goes to Top Gun.

Seems this one is about a group of 20 something little bitches and lack of authority in a politically correct world.

I love that this thread is almost 8 years old, and that the 'it's been 28 years, and they're just doing this now?' is now 36 years...

Some of these early posts (from 2014) aged remarkably well.

The plot seems to be a closely guarded secret, but it seems to involve a real flying F-14... and a digital SR-72 (yes, I wrote 72) and a lot of f***ing CGI.

I highly doubt I could motivate my family to see it in the theatre, but I think this will end up being pretty good.
Capitalism tries for a delicate balance: It attempts to work things out so that everyone gets just enough stuff to keep them from getting violent and trying to take other people’s stuff.

Yeah, exactly. There is extensive CGI in every single film released these days. In the context of Top Gun Part Deux, I don't think 'they put an enemy fighter into the scene' is what counts as 'a lot of fucking CGI.' 'They're not actually flying' would be more like it.

That said, I am aware that a studio behind-the-scenes vignette suggesting that the actors are all seasoned F-18 pilots is not an indicator that what we see is any reasonable approximation of what actually happened / what the actors were actually capable of.

I bet the whole story of the decision making process and the characters involved in regard to when to release Top Gun 2 would make a good movie in it's own right. :wink: Better than a new Hollywood series about "Watergate" at least. :lol:
