No Tom Cruise please. I can't get past him jumping on Oprah's couch and the scientology stuff.

I can't even watch topgun I.

So who would the aggressor be? Russians? Chinese? With these modern fighters (I'm going out on a limb and guessing they'll be in F-22s), combat boils down to who can push the launch button first.

Maybe it could be against Iran flying their F-14s.

Took a look at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000129/ and ist not mentioned that there will be a Top Gun2 Sequel and if its not in IMDB.com it will not happen. Thank God!

F-22s in the navy? It'll be F-35s, unless someone doesn't do their homework...which is equally possible.
As for the aggressors...can't be China, too much movie money there, s'why Red Dawn 2's aggressors suddenly switched from Chinese to North Koreans, so it'll probably be either Norks or a renegade Russian general (TM), could be a renegade Middle Eastern dictator...but I doubt it...with Saddam gone they just aren't as recognisably parodiable (is that even a word?). So yeah, Norks or renegade Russkie, that's my betting.

Well there were proposals to navalize the F-14. One of the concept designs looks like this:


That's practically made for Top Gun

It'll never catch on.

That F-22 design is definitely Top Gun II material...although perhaps they should add some more realism to the film and have the leads as UAV pilots.

Just got a mental image of some guy in sweatpants slouching in a Lazyboy with a game controller in his hand and 'Highway to the Danger Zone' playing in the background.

"Maverick. Hey, Maverick."
"Whu?"
"Wha you want on the pizza".
"I don' care. Just no sausage.'
"Whatever."

When i was about 8 years old i loved that film.

It was part of what inspired me at a young age to become a pilot.

then i grew up, realized it was a cheese ball, and told Maverick and Iceman to get a room.




anyone seen the explanation video of why top gun is gay?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. "Navalize" usually refers to making a carrier-ready version of a land fighter. The F-14 was built as a naval fighter from the start.

He meant to write F-22.

Sorry, I had F-14s on my brain the whole time while looking at this thread

Obviously if you look at the picture, I meant F-22s.
