Storyline
TAGLINES
From the Producers of Beverly Hills Cop and Flashdance [UK Theatrical]
Up there with the best of the best.
I feel the need, the need for speed.
Maverick is a hot pilot. When he encounters a pair of MiGs over the Persian Gulf, his wingman is clearly outflown and freaks. On almost no fuel, Maverick is able to talk him back down to the Carrier. When his wingman turns in his wings, Maverick is moved up in the standings and sent to the Top Gun Naval Flying School. There he fights the attitudes of the other pilots and an old story of his father's death in combat that killed others due to his father's error. Maverick struggles to be the best pilot, stepping on the toes of his other students and in a different way to Charlie, a civilian instructor to whom he is strongly attracted.

An 80's Adrenaline pump flick!
posted on 25 Aug 2009For us older folks, Tom Cruise looks like a kid in this movie. A big casting mistake with Cruise and McGillis as love birds - no chemistry here. A better than average video transfer but the audio is so-so. The action sequences speak for themselves and made this movie a real show stopper. I really liked the rivalry between Cruise and Kilmer for the Top Gun trophy. Once again, Paramount has taken a diamond and turned it into a lump of coal. No extras, irritating menus and no printed info to speak of. Still, if you like this movie, the DVD is a lot better than VHS any way you cut it.
Classic Action Movie
posted on 16 Aug 2009For any of you who have not yet seen this movie, see the defintive action movie of the 1980's and the movie that jump started Tom Cruise's career. In oevre of Tom Cruise, this is the flashpoint of his father/son complex flickswith the now old hat story of a son unable to live up to his father's legacy. There are great performances here, especially Val Kilmer's immortal "Ice Man." This is also strangely enough one of the only times you get to see the lovely Kelly McGillis (what ever happened to her?) The chase sequences are top notch, the cinematography is amazing, and the score is perfect. This is a class act, must own DVD.
My all-time and my favorite Tom Cruise movie!
posted on 10 Aug 2009This is the best airplane movie I have ever seen! I have that movie on DVD, and it's great! I can watch that movie any time I want to. This is action-packed, same as other action movies. This movie is a must-see for any Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, or Anthony Edwards fan. Rating ***.5/****. That means very good.
Three words can sum up this movie. Boring, boring and boring
posted on 04 Aug 2009Kelly McGillis was boring, which actually shouldn't be a complaint for she blended in with all the other boring elements in this film.
Most of the shots centered around jets, which yes could have been cool if the stunts wheren't impressive, and the dialogue weak at best.
The romance between Cruise and McGillis felt more like a boy having a crush on his 9th grade teacher. Yes, that's right, it was the dryest romance scenes I've ever witnessed. Example: Kelly gets mad at Cruise and he races off on his bike. She races after him in her car, defying (Or not) death by car crash and eventually Cruise pulls over. Don't ask why he felt the sudden need to pull over for absolutely no reason, for he was suprised to see his 'lover' there yelling at him. He tells her that he doesn't want her being so foolish, and she yells back at him. Thats probally the exent of romance in this flick. Boring.
Plus, by the end of the movie we've had so much testotrine intergrated throughout the movie that its a wonder the men managed to keep the jets safe with all the needless stunts they tried to impress us with.
In ending, this movie was a waste of time and film. Too bad Cruise couldn't have broken into the industry in a more interesting movie.
Bottom Gun
posted on 29 Jul 2009This film is about a man who likes to smile a lot.One day, while smiling, he decides to join the air force. Why not? He hasn't smiled while in mid air before.After signing up, he meets his fellow recruits and decides to smile at them. He also smiles at a sexy woman with big boobs...Nice.While training, he subdues the nasty sergeant by smiling at him. The sergeant smiles back and everyone is happy.The adventure takes to the air and Cruise must engage in aerial wargames with the enemy. He realises he has run out of missiles so decides to smile at his enemy, causing the enemy to crash dive to earth, exploding. All they found were his dentures.Cruise meets the sexy girl and smiles. The End.
A great film
posted on 23 Jul 2009I was a "Navy Brat" for 20 years of my life and spent a lot of time around the aircraft carrier. My father spent 31 years of his career launching and recovering aircraft. This movie, although does not depict the "true life" of a pilot nor the schooling, is very good because it is twisted to show a "hollywood / Rock-N-Roll" image of the Navy pilot. It is a good patriotic film without showing a defined enemy which means people around the world can enjoy the film no matter what country they are from. There is a lot of growing and dealing with life's problems which relates to everyone. Everyone should enjoy the music and the action without looking at it with a documentary frame of mind. This is just a movie to entertain and thought that they did an incredible job. I especially enjoyed watching the making of the movie and the cast interviews.
Playing with the boys
posted on 17 Jul 2009Top Gun had never been considered a good film, but with the years passing by it has become a kind of cult movie. It's quite impressive: the screenplay is filled with cliches, the actors are bad, the visual and the songs are the most memorable parts of the whole movie. So, why so many people still like it?Maybe, because it is the first major movie with the star Tom Cruise. Maybe, because it has marked its place in childhood memories of a whole generation. Maybe, because it has memorable quotes that people like to repeat, like the classic "talk to me Goose" or "she's lost that loving feeling". Or maybe it's just because the great songs remains in our memories after all these years, like "Take my breath away" or "You've lost that loving feeling".I don't know the exactly answer, but I guess it's because it all. "Top Gun" is a pop movie and, rather you like it or not, has its place in the history of the 80's movies. Remember "Meet the Parents", with Ben Stiller playing volley with his fiancee and calling each other the Top Gun nicknames, and you will know what I'm talking about.
It's Gay morning in Gay America!
posted on 17 Jul 2009Not only is this the most contrived, stupid, jingoistic, predictable, unnecessary piece of celluloid to drop from the rancid console of Reagan-era Hollywood, it's also the gayest mainstream movie of the decade, including Chariots of Fire. Turn down the sound and you'll merely see pretty muscle boys with perfect hair and spotless uniforms ignoring women in a bar, glistening in their tighty-whities as they pose for each other in the shower room, waiting for their mustachioed daddy (Skerritt) to affirm them before they go off and strap huge machines between their legs, and preening for each other on the volleyball court. Turn the sound up, and it's even better. "I'm getting a hard-on." "Don't tease me." "So's my Johnson." In short, not only a bad film, but also an unbelievably gay one. Drink up, Republican America! So's my Johnson!
Wide Screen Top Gun, Collectors Edition
posted on 05 Jul 2009This is a great film and the wide screen edition makes it enjoyable. However, as another reviewer mentions, it does not maximize the screen, but provides only a long narrow view of the film.
One of the best features is the 2nd DVD with producers' infor and comments. It is very interesting and well worth the time to view it. It provides an even greater appreciation of the film.
Amazon's service was great.
Top Gun
posted on 23 Jun 2009This movie is an awesome hit from director Tony Scott (also directed Beverly Hills Cop, Enemy of the State,and much more) dense with fun and excitement that will keep you FLYING for as long as you like. Tom Cruise (Days of Thunder, Jerry Maguire, etc.) stars as hotshot fighter jet pilot "Maverick" Pete Mitchell, who is elected with his partner "Goose" (Anthony Edwards) to enter the Navy's very competitive "Top Gun" program, where many comparible opponents challenge him to win the top rank, including "Iceman" Tom Kusansky (Val Kilmer) and "Slider" (Russ Rossovich). Stars Kelly McGillis as Mitchell's girlfriend, with appearances by Michael Ironside, Clarence Gilyard Jr., Meg Ryan (as Goose's wife), and Tim Robbins. A great action film.
A good "show off" DVD.
posted on 20 Jun 2009Top Gun has enough action, top stars, and plot to interest just about anyone - especially Tom Cruise fans. It's also a good DVD to show off your Dolby Digital sound system. The roar of the jets during the fighter sequences will have you worrying about your plaster coming loose and your subwoofer overheating. I'd give this a full 5 stars, but there are no extra features on the DVD. But the picture and sound quality still make it worth having.
Great Action
posted on 17 Jun 2009I'm 15 and have just seen Top Gun for the first time. It was a great movie. It starts off with heartthrob Tom Cruise working his way through pilot school and hoping to be TOP GUN the best pilot. Along the way he is faced with some competition. He is also at work to impress the girl of his dreams. Will Maverick (Cruise) win the girl and be Top Gun or will he be defeated? I guess you'll have to watch this excellent film and see for yourself.
it's about time.

More features than i could have asked for. Maybe, a second audio commentary would have helped, but this is good enough. November 16th, 2004 is the date.
I always liked a bit of cheddar
posted on 14 Jun 2009Absolute cheese on a stick, but Top Gun proves that that's not always a bad thing. This movie's got everything - an arrogant prodigy who'd be out on his arse if he wasn't so good, a sensible, uglier best friend, a love interest (although she's a bit of a mess), an arch nemesis and his dumb sidekick, a few cool high fives and catchphrases, an emotional death scene, a euphoric victory scene and of course, some unforgettable action scenes. What more could any red-blooded child of the eighties ask for!? And anyone born around 1980 will remember how everyone was doing that double high five and saying 'talk to me, goose' to the kid next to them in class. Certainly one of my all time favourites.
THE LONG AWAITED SPECIAL EDITION!!!
posted on 11 Jun 2009Wow, its finally here. I remember this is the first DVD I ever bought back about 6 years ago when there were only a hand full of DVD's available. After everything started coming out with extreme loaded features, I wondered when I would get to see a Top Gun special features DVD. ITS HERE!!! I was a little disappointed by Amazon's description because it looks like there may not be many extra interviews with Tom Cruise. Anyways, its still worth the purchase.
Of the most pathetic genre
posted on 11 Jun 2009You know the one I mean. The one that also spawned Die Hard, Speed, Iron Eagle, and The Abyss. A pseudo action movie with awful technical direction (see the goofs section, there are nearly 40 blatant errors listed) and a plot that could be used to dip nachos in. I don't really mind what many call "80s jingoism", the cold war was alluded to in nearly every action movie since the 50s. Why, however, do immature actors and out of touch story writers have to be allowed on the scene? "son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash!!!" or "I feel the need, the need, for speed!!!!" You can find better lines in a woody woodpecker cartoon. And miscast Kelly McGillis's middle aged looking character, Freud could write volumes on her onscreen relationship with Cruise. They shouldve just shown an aerial fighting special from the discovery channel, wouldve cost alot less and probably been more realistic and satisfying.
*****,perfect 5 stars,up there with the best of the best I'LL SAY FOR THIS GENIUNE 80'S CLASSIC OF A MOVIE!
posted on 28 Aug 2009Along with Blues brothers,Back to the future,the wizard & transformers the movie among other films THIS IS A GRAND MOVIE! oh & I'll explain for a some of the reviews here apparently there looking too much for a plot instead of just enjoying this flick & unlike most movies the good to high amount of strong swearing is actually funny sure it may "look" like a story which is basically "cruise wins girl" but then again if they tried to do that kind of approach the film whould be truly campy(can you say Dicaprio although I liked his role in "Growing pains") so the film has a bunch of good stuff 1:A good story 2:strong swearing(good amount of the mentioning of the S word) that is funny 3:grand soundtrack (danger zone,take my breath away 4:a love story that could be horridly campy but it isn't really 5:all in all a film that gets people interested in it not just jet fighter movie fans, so anyway a pure treat of 80's nostalgia alike other 80's classics.
