Did a quick search to try to find ther users with Top Gun names, and couldn't find any. No Goose, No Ice Man, no Viper or Slider, no Jester. Closest I could find was wolfmantaxi

Important question:
Does this film feature or at least give a strong nostalgic nod to the song Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins? 6/1/2022 6:03:21 PM

It gives a lot of strong nostalgic nods to many iconic parts of the original movie, including Danger Zone. 6/2/2022 8:26:40 AM

I hate Tom Cruise and his crazy Scientology, but Danger Zone might tip the balance for me. 6/2/2022 10:06:17 AM

was talking to someone yesterday who told me the theater erupted in applause when Danger Zone started (I also saw that soon after the original one came-out, military recruiment increased by 300%) 6/2/2022 2:19:59 PM

In 2004, I was in a [Top Gun] CS: Source clan. I was [Top Gun] Maverick and my roommate was [Top Gun] Iceman. That was the entire clan.
Anyway, I saw the movie on Saturday and liked it a bit but had to explain some stuff to my wife who wasn't quite up to speed with all the lore from the first movie. She was really annoyed at how
<spoilers>
Mav and Ice kept ending their texts with periods.

Is there value in seeing it in the theater vs waiting till it hits streaming?
I'm behind, I need to take the kid to see Dr. Strange, and then this one. But shit, it's hard to find the time. 6/4/2022 9:59:49 PM

The obvious answer is yes. This is exactly the type of movie you want to see with a ridiculous sound system and giant screen.
Hell I saw it at a theater that had moving seats (first time I've done that). 6/6/2022 2:57:56 PM

Yep. It was the first movie I have seen in a theater since the pandemic, and it was well worth the theater experience. 6/6/2022 10:05:19 PM

They actually had Navy recruitment booths in cinemas when the first one came out, knowing full well that maybe 1% of the people that they got to sign up would actually end up seeing the cockpit of a Navy aircraft lol. In general, the military/government is VERY willing to work with Hollywood when it comes to any movie that presents the military in a positive light (even the bad movies). In this case, the movie studio only had to pay for the fuel for the planes -- the Navy provided the actual aircraft, flight crew, pilots, etc. free of charge. To them it gave lots of additional experience to their crew.
I work for NASA and we actually have a group who's sole purpose is to advise movie/TV studios. I can't remember which Transformers movie it was, but one of them had a bunch of stuff of space stuff including the moon landing and whatever. They had a bunch of stuff set up down at KSC and NASA employees were allowed to go up and check out the transformers models between shoots and stuff. 6/7/2022 2:18:41 PM

Finally got to see this with the family on Tuesday. I'm a huge aviation nerd and have watched the original Top Gun countless times (mostly the Rifftrax version though). Maverick was an amazing movie and in my opinion topped the original by a good bit. And as others stated, this movie is DEFINITELY a movie to watch at the theaters with a great sound system. 6/16/2022 11:30:19 PM

I didn't realize it until someone else pointed it out, but the final mission in the movie was almost exactly the Star Wars Ep 4 trench run if it used real aircraft and pilots. 6/17/2022 1:48:56 PM
