Top Gun 2: Maverick
- Thread starter arobb
- Start date
I was done with the franchise when they killed Goose. Unless the plot involves his ghost or his reanimated corpse teaching Maverick one final lesson, I'll stay away.
I don't know. Merlin performed pretty admirably in Goose's absence.
Are they really so out of ideas that they want to make a sequel that is over 30 years after the original? It hasn't worked out all that well for other movies. I guess they just hope for people showing up on opening weekend out of nostalgia.
They will be playing topless erotic shuffleboard now.
Some have not aged well
Why is there a picture of Sarah Huckabee Sanders in the Top Gun thread?
I was thinking to myself, "What sport would they replace the volleyball scene with?" Then I started thinking, "What's an up-and-coming Olympic sport that has recently become more popular?" The obvious answer is curling. I'm not sure I'm ready to see chubby, mustachioed Wisconsin dude topless on the ice.
"That's twice, I want some butts!"
He didn't want any butts, that was once they made it to Top Gun
For nostalgic reasons they need to include either directly or paraphrase these lines:
- I feel the need, the need for speed
- Take me to bed or lose me forever
- I'd tell ya but I'd have to kill ya
Also, there will need to be these scenes:
- Some sort of sporting event with music playing in the background
- A scene with spilled coffee
- A karaoke scene
- Two people getting down to Take My Breath Away (probably a mixed version with rap lyrics added in)
Am I missing anything that obviously needs to be in the movie? Also, I might add that I like the fact that I went to high school in the 80's. So many great pop culture conversation pieces.

No love for Sundown? Any way they get away with that call sign today?
From another sight:
"Top Gun came out 33 years ago. So let's suppose Maverick was a real guy. In the movie he was a Lt (O-3) that would put him in the Navy about 4 years or so at that point. Add the 33 since and now he's at 37 yrs service give or take. Which, from time-in-grade/service alone would make him 3/4 star flag rank (and yes, you can just make out O-6 eagles on his shoulders in the picture, which begs another question; 37 years and only an O-6? Maybe he went Reserves, IDK). Anyway his last combat “mission” would be seeking funding for toilet paper at the enlisted “A” school he commands where they pigeon holed him till mandatory retirement because he pissed off to many folks along the way. Not to mention a starring role during the Tailhook incident in the early 90s. Meanwhile, “Charley” has left him for another woman. And Iceman, his arch nemesis, is making $350K annually on top of his Check-of-the-Month club cash driving jumbos on international routes for Delta, while flying Warbirds on the weekend airshow circuit banging hot chicks half his age in spite of the fact he's old and is a fat slob."
Still my favorite movie growing up so I know I'll take my boys to see this one...

Goose's son as played by - wait for it - Ryan GOSLING.
