Title: Is topgun 2 really Is it really In the works?
Post by: Morpheus on May 25, 2017, 07:54:16 AM
I tried to search the bb for the next film but I couldn't find anything... I'm wondering if we are and when we'll see the next topgun2 film. I've read it's coming, there are some problems with the film. Ofcourse the f14 is no longer in service. Sad after 32years of strong growth in the Navy they still got rid of the tomcat... But if we grow we gotta expand and make space. I'm just a longtime f14 dude so sorry.

Probably will feature the F-35 in a war against the EVIL _Fill In The Blank_ enemy, killing the 4.5 Gen enemy in a very methodical, BVR boring fashion while Top Gun commander Maverick argues against the pending shutdown of his fighter pilot ACM academy.
Then...suddenly....all the whiz-bang satellites get shot down and a virus infects all the military computers. The F-35s are dropping like flies from attacks by 3rd Gen fighters from the EVIL _Fill In The Blank_ enemy. Mav and his gang of TG students zip down to Davis-Monthan and get a 4 ship of Tomcats out of the boneyard.
Made combat ready in the blink of an eye by a crusty old maintenance Chief (who just happens to be a totally knockout Babe that works in a wife-beater T-shirt) and modified with duct tape, baling wire and lamp cord so that these TCs can fire the latest IRST missiles, Mav and the boys takeoff and decimate the opposition, forcing them to surrender and saving the world.
Mav gets promoted to Admiral and marries his transgender wingman, formerly known as Tommy, not that there's anything unusual about that at all. (Tommy changed zer name to Teresa and also just happens to be a totally knockout Babe that spent all her scenes out of the cockpit lounging in a small bikini.) The End.

How about... instead of Top Gun sequel, make a Top Gun prequel. Set during the late 60s around the creation of the Navy Fighter Weapons School, highlighting the first few graduating classes, and the MiG engagements of May 1972.
That way you get a cool historically set film, with a badass soundtrack!

Maverick discovers during Top Gun training that the only female pilot who is a total knockout that she is actually the love child born after his fling during TopGun 1 with the hottie from way back who tragically just passed away from cancer.
Then they have to knock out all the US drones because the Evil Enemy has hacked their way into the controls using our own aircraft against us, destroying Los Angeles and setting off the GREAT earthquake which traps a small child in a devastated hillside residence and he has to use his F35 in vertical mode to lift the debris off with the aid of some heroic firefighters who rush out to high five him and slap him on the back while hooting and hollering as his daughter does a high speed fly-by throwing her dad a snappy salute with tears in her eyes........

Well, that's Hollyrock today man.
I forgot to mention the crusty old Chief Babe is L and has no interest in any of the other two flyboys who make up Mav's four-ship. She also rejects an advance from Mav himself.
The other two flyboys have to be Metro and the crusty Chief will school them on how to operate all the systems as they listen attentively in their plaid jammies while sipping hot cocoa.
We have to pay obeisance to important social issues in every Hollyrock re-run, even TG2.

Now, I might be crazy (And in all honesty, I DO recognize that I'm fairly unique in this respect) I find in most movies that don't start on the premise that they're absolute absurdity, I tend to enjoy movies the closer they are too reality. I tend to get bothered by things that are close approximations but overlook glaring things.

Why does that have to be big brother messaging? These are things that exist, that are real and are part of Naval Aviation. It's not a question of societal mores shoved down your throat, if you go to a Strike Fighter base tomorrow, you WILL see these things.

You see, your idea of absurd and mine are very different. I want to be distracted from reality, when I go to a movie, otherwise, I'll just stay at home.
You must really hate the "Guardians of the Universe" films. :) I mean,....a raccoon flying a space ship?

Maybe so but I'm willing to bet these things don't constitute the majority. In fact, I'll wager they represent a very, very small percentage similar to what you find in the general population.
Hollyrock attempts to make these things the dominant culture in society which is indeed fantasy.

I file those under "The movie started under the premise that it's absurd, so it's okay".
I can enjoy films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Wars, and Ted because they begin under the premise of absurdity and embrace that. Movies like Fast and Furious 28 are physically painful to watch however.

If we are talking about bad plots and story lines that defy logic, how about this
How about they are using some hi tech aircraft that only has missile capability, which is rendered useless by some foreign country in a cyber attack making the aircraft worthless. So all the good guys take the aircraft up, open the canopy and shoot down the bad guys with an M16 or RPG. Oh and dont forget the epic taking a 9mm and shooting the lead bad guy in the head as he gets ready to shoot down the leading good guy

It doesn't piss me off but it does concern me. As it should you, seeing as you are now sworn to protect the Constitution and the BOR. No moral orthodoxy of the day should be imposed on any of us.
Just to be clear, I don't care what consenting adults do in private. Not my concern. As long as there is mutual consent, it's all good. That said, children under the age of reason can't give consent by definition. Neither could Richard Gere's hamster. If someone want's to plonk the knothole in a pine board, it's no business of mine seeing as the board is inanimate and consent doesn't enter into it.
The Borg-like non-stop attempt to assimilate all into the latest fad new moral orthodoxy is just......boring to the extreme.

The original Top Gun movie kinda pissed me off. As a young kid, all I ever wanted to do was fly. I put together model airplanes - first one I ever did was the F4U-1 Corsair, then a B-26, a F-111, a F-15, and a 1/18th F-14 (it was Hueeeege), and a B-1B bomber. I remember dreaming about being a WWII pilot. My dad took me to all the air shows that came in. And anytime any special visit from military aircraft were in the area, he took me down upon my request to visit them. I purchased and played every flight and combat simulator game I could get my hands on as a young kid.
I joined the air cadets to get my pilots license with the hope of being a military pilot when I got old enough...Then along came effing Top effing Gun and hordes of young lads all of a sudden wanted to be a pilot too cause it was COOL and you got to ride cool motorcycles and get hot blond babes. I saw the film...(did a lot of eye rolling on the engagement tactics) and although I found the movie totally over the top, it did confirm that I wanted to be a pilot but all of a sudden, so were a lot of other younger males who never ever before thought about it and they all joined the air cadets to being pilots.
All now, the competition to be a pilot in air cadets was six-fold prior Top Gun for the same year I was eligible to become a pilot. . I knew I would be an AWESOME pilot as during our run up to the competition they take you out to see how you handle aircraft. I came in first. But come to the exams and interviews... I came in third behind my two other class mates who were also Top Gun wanna-be's but no interest in a career like I was. Both were very smart and personable lads who ended up becoming engineers... One almost didn't pass cause he sucked at flying, and the other was an 'ok' pilot - he should stick to going to university and become something else.
And as a young lad, it crushed me. I quit cadets the next year as the following list of Top Gun wanna-be's was even longer for the next year.
So, for me, I say EFFF YOU Top Gun with your BS effects and bullsheit bravado. Hope #2 burns in hell. :furious
:D

That I can certainly understand, and I DO have issues in it when we start seeing reboots of old movies where they CHANGE the existing characters to push a certain narrative. However, I think adding new characters who display different personas than what we have seen before isn't necessarily a bad thing. Again, had DADT remained in place, I would certainly have an issue with an openly lesbian crew chief. I guess for me I don't take issue with adding a character or two who isn't part of the main stream because it IS part of the reality of the service now. However, if ALL of the characters were these non-mainstream types, then I would have an issue. But one or two, NEW characters who are non-mainstream, is a good thing I think, as it DOES display a realistic depiction of the service.

The sequel will be packed with nostalgic moments
1. Maverick messed up again and is actually flying cargo planes full of fake dog poo out of Hong Kong
2. At various points in the movie maverick throws 5 additional sets of dog tags into the ocean
3. Iceman tells maverick "he's still dangerous" 26 times
4. A cardboard cutout of goose has been placed in the back seat behind maverick. The cutout has an electonic voice box that makes random statements like "Jesters dead / I Crack myself up / they're all over us Mav!"
5. They fly inverted over a commercial Airbus A380 and give the crew the finger
6. After getting coffee spilled on him twice more, the angry air boss slips maverick a roofie and gets revenge in ways that would sicken other men while softly singing you've lost that loving feeling
7. The squadron still plays shirtless volleyball, just on an Xbox
8. Even more unnecessary locker room scenes of dudes in towels
9. Cougar realizes he's scared and is holding on too tight. Quits his job at Target.

Top gun fun fact: USN only gave the production team one A2A missile shot. The same shot was mirrored for left / right F14 shots throughout :old:
Same thing for every air-to-air scene. There were only about 1-2 minutes of airborne footage, and every fight scene is just the same half-dozen shots mirrored and/or in a different order.

Not exactly.
It was a lot more than two minutes. You have more than that in just one sequence.
They actually filmed a TON of footage, just that most of it wasn't useful. The editors did a masterful job of piecing together something fairly coherent out of reels and reels and reels of film.
Also the use of models instead of CGI was a plus, IMO. CGI never looks right. Reference the WATCH THE BIRDIE scene.
Another saving grace was the extensive use of oxygen masks. Since you can't read lips any dialogue necessary can be shoehorned in just about anywhere.
It doesn't piss me off but it does concern me. As it should you, seeing as you are now sworn to protect the Constitution and the BOR. No moral orthodoxy of the day should be imposed on any of us.
Just to be clear, I don't care what consenting adults do in private. Not my concern. As long as there is mutual consent, it's all good. That said, children under the age of reason can't give consent by definition. Neither could Richard Gere's hamster. If someone want's to plonk the knothole in a pine board, it's no business of mine seeing as the board is inanimate and consent doesn't enter into it.
The Borg-like non-stop attempt to assimilate all into the latest fad new moral orthodoxy is just......boring to the extreme.
It's entertainment---if I wanted to watch a documentary I would watch a documentary

I don't find deliberate, repetitive, extreme PC social engineering entertaining.

I mean, you're complaining about a (THEORETICAL) agenda being pushed in the sequel to what is very likely the GREATEST propaganda movie of all time...
I wouldn't go that far.
This film didn't even have a real enemy.
It was a rock video based around real life with the required Hollywood nonsense sprinkled in. It (thankfully) painted the military in a much-deserved positive light after decades of post-Vietnam doldrums.
You were probably not even alive then. America was finding her confidence again. The economy was booming after the malaise of the disastrous 70s. The military was being revitalized. It was okay to be a patriot and wave the flag. This movie just happened to come along at the exact right moment.
The Navy had script review authority in exchange for cooperation but it wasn't their project and it was not misleading. Propaganda? No.

Whether or not the Navy had a part in writing it has no effect on whether or not it's propaganda. The original was pushing an agenda just as much as what's being theorized here, the only difference being you agreed with the original ideas.

You might want to read what propaganda means. You're way off base in that regard.
The ideas were factual and prescient--looking backward and forward respectively--as FWS grads like Cunningham showed in Vietnam and Desert Storm proved four years later.

And just what was the propaganda message Serenity?
That flying high performance aircraft is way cool and fighter jocks get the babes? Was that it?
Or was it that the US CV air arm is an amazing weapon?
What was the propaganda message you see in it?
