1986 Directed by Tony Scott
For Lieutenant Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell and his friend and co-pilot Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw, being accepted into an elite training school for fighter pilots is a dream come true. But a tragedy, as well as personal demons, will threaten Pete's dreams of becoming an ace pilot.
탑건, Топ Ган, Top Gun - Sie fürchten weder Tod noch Teufel
As Sid (Quentin Tarantino) in Sleep With Me says in one glorious monologue: "Top Gun is fucking great. What is Top Gun? You think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots..... It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the fucking line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew. They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways......
Kelly McGillis, she's heterosexuality. She's saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go…
i'll be honest i don't really know what this movie is about because every time i watch it i'm doing something else but when i hear the music from the beach volleyball scene i look up so fast my neck almost snaps
very much get the critiques of this but, look, if i have to watch individualist, military propaganda films i would definitely prefer they be Dudes Rock romance melodramas chalk full of sweaty, shirtless men feeling things and starring each other down, beautiful over-saturated colors, motorcycle riding/dogfighting, sunset vista photography, beach volleyball, romantic 80s synth pop/rock and lots of talk about each others butts and hard-ons. tony scott was the absolute goat and through style alone somehow gives even the broadest, dumbest moments in this a genuinely romantic mood and the action scenes a tangible danger/adrenaline. miss him so much
if that “two bros chilling in a hot tub, five-feet apart cuz they’re not gay” vine was a major motion picture but with fighter pilots
Tom Cruise is fuckin wild. Remember when he jumped on Oprah’s couch? Well a week before that happened he was caught coming out of a bathroom stall with Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty (I swear to god I’m not making this up) and his publicist was like “well shit man we gotta do something before this story comes out!” So they called up Katie Holmes (AKA Hollywood’s resident beard [see: Chris Klein, Jamie Foxx] and true gay ally) and then He Did That! So that makes this movie Peak Gay Cinema. Oh and like I said this a TRUE STORY. Some publicist guy my mom is friends with told me this when I was like, 10 and now my mom…
Did Tom Cruise really follow a woman he just met into the women’s restroom, then propose to have sex with her on the counter... and she found that attractive? The 80s must have been a wild time.
I’m sorry but I much rather prefer the film to be based around Meg Ryan & Goose’s relationship than Maverick and his girlfriend who likes to lick leftover food from Tom Cruise’s chin. Seriously, the sloppy tongue kissing was gross as hell, it’s only acceptable with me and my lady but I don’t want to see that when I watch a movie. I also don’t want to see Tom Cruise in whitey-tightie’s anymore, I believe showing him more than once was enough but apparently the late Tony Scott’s wife must’ve been on set that day. Gosh, look at me, sounding like no fun. Sure, if you love masculinity, nicknames to every character for no reason just to make them sound cool,…
I haven't seen this movie as a kid on HBO so I was pretty excited to see this on the big screen. The opening was cool and when Danger Zone came on the Dolby speakers I was pumped. Then, through the run time, I start nodding off because this movie is actually pretty boring. It's technically well made, cause Tony Scott, but everything is just just the bare minimum of plot and characterization and anything interesting happening.
I feel the need, the need for speed.
Do I really have to say anything more than that. :) But being serious for a minute, I saw this in theaters, the AMC Dolby experience, and it was awesome! So glad I decided to go. I absolutely love this movie and it’s perfect imho. Cannot wait for the sequel!
The volleyball scene was very dramatically necessary.
"Danger Zone" in Dolby sound really slapped.
900th LOGGED MOVIE 😎😎
Why do people actually like this boring ass movie. I only watched it because it’s one of these moves that “everyone has seen”. I’ve already forgotten everything that happened.
*suena la misma parte de Take My Breath Away una y otra vez sin parar*
Me pareció una buena película y me dejo con ganas de ver que hacen con 'Top Gun: Maverick'.
Increíble que Tom Cruise nunca envejezca ¿:D?
Pro-military propaganda and the script is surface level at best. Does it matter? Not really.
What TOP GUN does have it delivers in spades: Cruise cementing the cocksure, grinning movie star persona he established in RISKY BUSINESS. Tony Scott’s unmatched derring do, with aerial photography that’s stunningly clean and frenetic at the same time. And the MVP might be Harold Faltermeyer’s synths, so gloriously, earnestly ‘80s, pumping grandeur and emotion into this kinda thin dud of a plot that’s propped up by Cruise’s sense of presence and Scott’s images.
Cruise has more chemistry with Anthony Edwards than Kelly McGillis and their romance reeks of screenwriter conventions. But again, Scott films everything in the most iconic way possible - an era-defining…
