Original is in a class of it's own. The era, music, cheesy action movies. It's great.

Why I ask would they ruin the original? Goose is dead, Ice Man is fat as ****, who knows about the black guy.

Is this going to be about a former Navy polit flying a commercial airline?

Val Kilmer has lost a little weight but judging by his recent instagram posts, he's morphed into a Gary Busey doppleganger. Hollywood is out of ideas. So why not throw out the old favorites onto a wall and see what sticks?

Goose is dead...
What's your point?

Look bud, it wasn't my fault Iceman wouldn't take a shot, it wasn't my fault his jet wash caused me to get in an irrecoverable flat spin, and it sure as hell wasn't my fault Goose hit his head on the GD canopy -- so back off.

I am from that era and Top Gun sucked. I don't mean a little but a lot. It is BARELY one step up from Dirty Dancing.

Have zero clue how Cruise is going to make this movie work. He is the only one of the original main cast that has maintained himself and can legitimately still pull off being Maverick 30 years later.

IceMan literal looks like IceCreamMan now.

agreed. Iron Eagle was way better imo
******** -- I'm not the one who ditched my bird in the Med and left a teenager to do the hard work by himself. That'd be, uhhh...Chappy.

Sure I hesitated for a second before engaging -- MY BEST FRIEND HAD JUST DIED AND I'D LOST MY GIRLFRIEND DAMMIT -- but after that I picked up Iceman's slack and splashed three bogeys.

Who tf did not know about Iron Eagle II?

I did enjoy that in both IEs you could just, like, take F16's and do what you please with them in spite of any (likely) geopolitical ramifications.

Did *not*, however, know about the remaining IEs. :flushed:

Yeah. In the new one there's a alien Death Star that is threatening to blow up the world and Viper is the President and Charlie figures out a way to disarm the Death Star's shield but Maverick has to implant the device. Mav escapes and leads the attack that weakens the Death Star but runs out of photon torpedos before the job is done. Ice parks his RV in front of Clark's house and then flies a kamikaze mission that saves the world. Mav tells Charlie that she completes him but she tells him he can't handle the truth. Mav jumps off the couch and gets hurt and is in a wheelchair for a while. After his wife joins a weird sex group, he contemplates law school but ends up a bartender.

Either of those guys ever been in an inverted, 4G negative dive with a MiG 28 at a range of one and a half meters -- while flipping off the commie pilot -- AND have the Polaroid to prove it?

I rest my case.

Ice Man isn't fat any more thanks to oral cancer. He tweeted that he can't wait to film the sequel.

I think it's time to buzz the tower, mav. Always remember and never forget...there's no points for second place.
