Never saw the first one. I don’t go to movies. It’s amazing the amount of people who’s lives are directly affected by a movie. I have friends that use movie references constantly.
No idea what you’re talking about.
Goose is DEAD. His replacement will be Grease, and
they will both be married together in the Navy and
cheat on Naval rules on spousal deployments by flying
together.
How could that be wrong?
I was in the Med during the events of what that movie
tried to duplicate.
Ronnie did good on Khadafi.
NO. jUST NO.
Keep your paws off of something that is not only an excellent piece of iconic cinema, but also is one of my favorite movies. Just STOP Hollywood. STOP.
Typical communists, Hollywood can’t produce anything original.
Any bets? Protagonist will be gay,female, a plucky immigrant, a tortured liberal fighting the man in a jingoistic hell, trans….

Well, around a military airbase old pilots can be found in the Officer’s Club, clumped into little squadrons drinking with one hand chasing their watch on the other hand. “And then there was this time….” Should be a good opportunity for various alcohol and designer watch ad placement income.
Legendary Naval Aviator & blogger, the late Carroll LeFon – Neptunus Lex – flew & taught at Naval Fighter Weapons School, insisted that TOPGUN was “all caps, one word”. I always enjoyed reading his blog. he was a good writer.
No, no and hell no.
They’re remaking Dirty Dancing, too. Everybody must be getting that 80’s feeling. Like it’s Morning In America again or something.
The original was in 1986. Since cruise has hardly aged they can just take off from where the 1st one ended.
I want to see it remade with McCain and Lindsey Graham.
Change the name to “Top Bum”.
Story line, McCain, son of an admiral, an irreverent shit bag, kills his shipmates on the Forrestal and nearly scuttles the aircraft carrier. He is transferred and become a traitorous songbird in Hanoi.
Mean while Lindsey comes out of the closet as a transvestite. Two storied careers in the military, two men before their time. Both become US senators to destroy the character and characteristics of a Nation.
I thought Cruise was phoney and cornball in the first one. I don’t watch anything produced by Hollywood now. F*ck em.
That movie was the best recruiting tool the Navy ever had. Still is.
Is that the movie where he carries his girlfriend out of the sweat shop at the end and all the gals are clapping and crying? My gawd that was awful.
@cato Not much of of a story there for a movie, since there is already a “series” .
Curiosly, Tarantino had a different take:

Wow. So much negativity. I actually liked the 1st movie and soundtrack. The good guys won and didn’t apologize for it. #2 will never live up to the first and I agree, will probably be a heaping pile of PC nonsense.
Top Yawn. The only thing good about TG was a young Meg Ryan.
Maybe in the remake Val Kilmer can portray an aircraft carrier. Man, he porked out worse than I have.
They’ll give it the “Ghost Busters” treatment.
Meh …
izlamo delenda est …
Looks like the Air Force needs recruits.
“Any bets? Protagonist will be gay,female, a plucky immigrant, a tortured liberal fighting the man in a jingoistic hell, trans….”
wasn’t that the part tom cruze played in the original ?
Hardly what the world needs at this point. I say NO!
Hollywood is devoid of original thought. Their box office shows the results.
I personally think people are turning away from Hollywood, because they forgot they are supposed to entertain, NOT act as an arm of left wing propaganda. Trying to sound empathetic does not go with the lifestyle, which the public sees, very clearly.
Yes, the New Village People Navy needs help recruiting homosexuals that need sexual reassignment surgery, women that want to fet pregnant with free pre/post natal child care and sexually dismorhic sexes that hate America and give carrier secrets to foreign media like lunch. The ship will be the USS Chelsea.
Brace yourself for remakes of all your favorite films, using current actors that relate to millennials – it’s the only game the studios have left.
That, and fantasy movies based on comic books.
The sequel will probably suck as most sequels do, but there have been exceptions such as The Godfather II. I might try watching Top Gun 2 once it is streamed for no additional charge on Netflix or Amazon, but I wouldn’t risk the price of a theater ticket to see it (plus I like my popcorn with just a pinch of garlic powder).
No! Stop stealing classics from the 1980’s and remaking them into the equivalent of a straight to video version. Have you seen the actors they picked for the remake of Dirty Dancing? Generic what’s there faces you’ll never recall again once the movie ends. It must be that Hollywood can only make dystopian trilogies-they have to plunder elsewhere for other content. Boo! 😡
Carpeye – – that was OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN with Richard Gere and Debra Winger.
glorifying drivers who drive very expensive flying buses.
I caught some of the Dirty Dancing remake. It blew bigger chunks than Michael Moore after a binge-purge session. Hollywierd should just close shop (Please, oh please!!!). They have managed to ruin almost every iconic movie out there. Thankfully, I don’t see any post movie concert tours planned like they had after the original DD. I really am not interested in seeing how they will absolutely f@ck up Top Gun.
I saw the first one at the drive-in…
…What did I miss?
At least they aren’t remaking the 1st one with a bunch of millennial libtard actors. Having Amy Schumer playing the Cruise lead etc. Most movies just don’t need a sequel. Just a way for Hollywood to try to gin up some excitement and get some people that haven’t gone to a movie in decades back to the theater.
Top Gun 2, the pilots will all have limp wrists. Top Gun will be who has the biggest hot dog.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Original flick had a killer soundtrack and Kelly McGinnis and some unapologetic post-Red Dawn sorta-patriotism.
I expect the Lady Ghostbusters treatment.
What’s eerie is that Cruse has only aged about 6 months worth from 1986 to 2017.
Spooky.
The top levels of Scientology must offer 25th Century cell regeneration immortality chambers. No plastic surgeon is that good.
Cruise will be an instructor at Top Gun, his student a young female. Her “back seater” will be a male to further highlight her position of superiority. Cruise and his student fall in love. The climax (ahem) will have Cruise rescuing his female student-love-interest at the last moment when he suits-up, flies into battle, and shoots down the enemy pilot – at the last second, of course.
I wasn’t a fan of the first one but I am always against part 2 and remakes, regardless of if I liked the first movie or not.
“Any bets? Protagonist will be gay,female, a plucky immigrant, a tortured liberal fighting the man in a jingoistic hell, trans….”
moslem.”
Finished it for you.
Ted Nougat just spoiled the whole film. I was looking forward to a completely new take from hollwoods plagiarists.
Adding to my earlier post –
They will have to work the Gay angle in somehow. It won’t be the major theme of the movie but will be there to pacify the Left; it will be a scene at a local bar or the Officer’s Club, and two same-sex officers will be making out or will be seen leaving together. They will be harassed by the stereotypical “local” and Cruise will intervene.
If Top Gun 2 is comprised of Marine Corps aviators & Naval aviators bombing the ever-loving shit out of the illegal, artificial, fake, heavily-armed Commie Chink “islands” in the South Chink Sea, then I’m all for it. I hope they use lots and lots of napalm….
But seeing how Hollywood has its head up its ass while it licks the ass of the Commie Chinks nowadays, I’d say the aviators will be leftist trannies who voted against Prez Trump, or some shitdrivel like that.
Ah yes, the homo erotic thriller of sweaty guys playing volleyball.

Funny trailer but I did enjoy the movie when it came out. Watched it in a theater in Pensacola Florida. Was down there going through the 9D5 egress trainer at NAS P-Cola.
Tom Cruis(ing for dudes) character will be a gay admiral in the remake/sequel? That would fit the timeline.
I was stationed at Miramar for the first one. His squadron patch is actually from VAW-110 which flew the E-2 Hawkeye & C-2 Greyhound…NOT the F-14.
VP Squadrons Uber Alles!
They’ll probably wreck it just like they wrecked Willy Wonka with Johnny Depp’s version.
….except, Maverick and Iceman will be all fat & shit.
