Didn't the US Navy retired the F-14 Tomcat fighters (in the original movie) already?

The original Top Gun movie was a good one. I can't believe it had been awhile, 1985 IRRC.

Yes, they did. They use the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, now, and will adopt a navalised version of the F-35 later on.

The kid will be played by shia labeouf and at the end they'll be some corny line about how HE'S the teacher now.

...

If I'm even close to right, kill myself.

I wish Hollywood would stop giving that guy work. He's even more overrated than Ben Affleck.

I can't believe the sound track could ever be as good as the first one. Just watching the opening scenes of the first movie, it's pretty iconic and good. I'm not sure how they are going to capture it for this movie.

damn dude, I want my $10 back now before I give it out.

I can stomach this sequel more than a remake, but jesus h. christ in a handbasket, can't we just let old awesome movies rest in peace?

What exactly is the plot of this suckfest going to be?

Maverick is a Top Gun instructor and comes across another hotheaded kid just like himself and eventually teaches him to reign in his rebelliousness in the name of teamwork and friendship? Ultimately, the kid's transformation will probably allow him to finally nail the hot chick in the classroom, whom he shunned earlier in the film, all set among a backdrop of this kid being the outcast from the rest of the flight group?

And let me guess, their mission will involve attacking Iranian planes or something flying in to take out an American carrier group stationed in the Persian Gulf.

The kid will be played by shia labeouf and at the end they'll be some corny line about how HE'S the teacher now.

...

Why?

I guess it's official...hollywood can't come up with a single original idea...so it's time to start remaking everything...Hell, let's find some comedians and start remaking the "Road" films...


(Bing Crosby and Bob Hope would roll over in their graves) :p

That's about it in a nutshell and to add insult to injury sequels and re-makes usually suck. Look at the re-make of "Flight of the Phoenix' as an example, so, so sad...

Hopefully it will involve Nickelback or Creed. Justin Beiber can cover "Take my Breath Away" for the veiled love scene.

First of all, Tom Cruise has been is many awesome action movies. That's what he does well and he's made MANY awesome movie. I feel sad that someone doesn't like his movies. Second, I didn't know Affleck was overrated. I didn't know anyone even rated him.

I think he was referring to Shia LaDouche.

You're right about Cruise. Despite being a batshit crazy scientologist, he's a talented actor.
