^What happens when you use FaceApp to age actors. Boys who watched the original Top Gun now are now men, with their top gone.
Sakit mo naman magsalita. Loved that they played the original theme song. And ooh mama, Jennifer Connelly is still my crush.
How were they able to show Val Kilmer without his beer belly? Or the fact that he can speak at all after tracheostomy for his throat cancer?
Well they didn't show him yet so I guess we'll know in later trailer. Plus if they can show Gal Gadot sans pregnant bump in Wonder Woman, they can easily edit out Val's belly. Not that it's needed though. My guess is he will be the one that they'll end up burying in the trailer so no fit body required. Plus Tom Cruise has already stated, there is no CGI in this film (which apparently was one of his conditions for coming back). There are three scenes there where I think are connected; the beginning spiel with Rear Admiral Ed Harris (his character does not have a name yet), the high-altitude pressure suit scene (what some thought was space helmet, that's not astronaut gear) and the "Maybe so, sir. But not today." The reason being he's wearing the aforementioned pressure suit in all three scenes (the ring on the neck is for screwing the helmet down). Nice to see they've included a female pilot (I didn't see one in the original). I hope they will include other former cast members even as cameos with them using their lines from the original like Slider (Remember boys, no points for second place), Hollywood ("I'm getting a hard-on", he can be a senior officer on the flight carrier, their radar goes down and he says his iconic line ), Merlin (and the classic "You're gonna do what?!") and of course Viper. Charlie most likely won't make a comeback as Maverick clearly has a new flame (and Kelly Mcgillis isn't the same after all this time, not to mention I have no complaints about Jennifer McConnelly ) Jester won't be making an appearance as he's already confirmed in an interview. Michael Ironside and Jeffrey Bruckheimer had a falling out. Too bad. Maybe now Jester's really dead. Speaking of the dead, as a friend mentioned, maybe Goose can make a cameo, as an AI voice. So literally Maverick can say "Talk to me Goose." Hahaha Nice to see though that they've mixed the old with the new. So those who grew up with it can get the nostalgia feels but at the same time new moviegoes have something to look forward to. As I wasn't able to watch the movie in the theaters (only watched it at home), I will be sure to watch this one, in 4D. 2020, come already.
^A long-shot cameo is of Meg Ryan (as Goose's wife) showing up just for nostalgia's sake... And maybe Kenny Loggins singing in a bar...whatever....
One theory why Maverick remained a Captain for so long is that he went out of the service at said rank either by resignation, honorable discharge or AWOL, then got called to active duty at present rank usually to present himself to a court-martial, or return to full duty status, or by virtue of CIC authority, even if it took days, months or years of broken service.
Before the Maverick movie arrives in 2020, let me share my nostalgic vinyl Sunday. No copyright infringement intended.
... hmmm, I'm guessing he was about to get promoted, then the Blip happened. The rank was given to someone else
Mm...FA 18 hornet?.....not as muscular as the F14 Tomcat....along with the F15 Eagle and the MIG 25 Foxbat are the most evil-looking fighter jets ever made. Can’t ID the last plane in the trailer.
The rumor that Tom Cruise had surgically implanted hair all this time would’ve been great promo for this movie. You know, like he should’ve lost his hair by this time after all the years wearing that helmet and would’ve been in keeping with the movie title Top Gun. Anywho, there’s a reason why senior pilots don’t get to fly supersonic jets anymore, according to the U.S. Navy Aviator manual. They’ve got slower reflexes, they’ve got cataracts, they’re on maintenance drugs and having their colons probed all the time, they could lose their dentures during twists and turns, or they could even be wearing diapers and may likely soil the seats during G-Force maneuvers. But not Tom Cruise, the quintessential he-man with a damn robust smile and a whole pluck of hair. He’s 50 years old plus but he sure runs like Usain Bolt and flies a jet like Chewbacca, minus the fur. He also gets most of the women half his age. I can’t say the same for us in that age group. And yes, he has that silly smile that says he doesn’t give jack shit even if U.S. Navy Aviator policy says no 50-year old bum can’t fly planes anymore.
Slightly off topic but I've always envy Tom Cruise's hair weather it's short or long and flowing. lol
