“A Top Gun sequel has been talked about for a long time now but this is the closest it’s got to production. It will be a reboot rather than a remake and Tom will have a significant role alongside a younger and new lead star.”

Oh boy...I wonder what the Navy would do if Tom started jumping on the fuselage of an F-18..

F-16.net Sponsor

Tom Cruise would (should) be keel hauled from a Carrier. Idea

Hmm.. odd, well if you Google it, I'm sure it'll head some results.

Agreed, I used to respect him so much until I watched interviews and actually found out who he was, sure he's generous and what not, but the dude belongs in a mental hospital, not a film set.

Wow, what will be the main airframe? F-18E? F-35C? Drone? If they want to do things right, the airframe of choice should be the F-14D. This time the bad guys should represent REAL threat aircraft instead of F-5s.

They start with the retirement of the F-14, the unit Tom Cruise is in charge of has to convert to F/A-18E. Tom's last flight of the Tomcat involves humiliating the Rhino trainees, claiming 'We outran them, we out-flew them and we ran them out of gas'. Faced with retirement he takes a job training the very same group he humiliated with the F-14. Later, Tom flies off a carrier and has an encounter with a pair of Flankers and begins to have flash backs of the MiG-28 incident. He unwittingly engages the Flankers with accusations of them beaming their witch doctor voodoo and mind altering drugs at him. He pretends to shoot one down with his training missile and then finds the second on his six. Goose calls out from the backseat to 'break right! break right!' before he realizes there is no backseat. And then Tom wakes up in a room full of Scientology interventionists. Fade to black...

I just can't wait for a whole new mediocre airplane to get legions of annoying fanboys. Or maybe it'll be a drone this time.

"ZOMG Firescout is the best UAV evar!!!11"

Or how about all the kids that are gonna be 'inspired' by it and chase the dream, get there and realize its nothing like top gun, taking up valuable slots for us Sad

Whatever that stuff is your smokin', pass it over! Wink

Wonder if Ice and Slider will make a cameo. And how will TC cope knowin' he has to memorize an entirely new script? Laughing

they better not fan-boyize the falcon -_-

TOPGUN 2 will feature Reapers...VFA-101 you ask? NEGATIVE! I mean the MQ-9!

"14 hours man. We went like this...and more like this...and more like this (holding hand straight and level), he went like that (bad guy walking on the ground)...then, he walked under some trees, and I yelled out 'Where did he go?', and Hollywood's sayin' 'Where'd WHO GO?!'"

"Well, I just happened to see an MQ-1 Predator...WE!...Sorry Goose...WE, happened to see an MQ-1 Predator do a straight and level flight."

"Maverick is at 75 knots. I'll be there in 5 hours!"

"Maverick, we've lost the satellite link! This is not good! This is NOT GOOD!"

"Maverick's in trouble. He's lost the satellite link. He's headed out to sea!"

"Tower, this is Ghostrider requesting flyby." "Negative Ghostrider, it would take you all day."

LMAO!!! Thanks TC!

Glad you liked it. I could try to think of some more, but I need some more Silver Bullet first.

Stinger: "Maverick...what is it with you?!"
Maverick: "Just wanna serve my country and be the best Reaper Operator in the Navy SIR!!!"

Stinger: "You're a helluva an instinctive Operator, Maverick. Maybe too good. But I gotta do somethin' here I.......I still can't believe it! You two characters...are goin' to Top Snoop. But you two screw up THIS MUCH! You'll be flyin' a 1/6th scale RC cargo plane full a Tootsie Rolls outta Taipei!!"

(Exterior, at dusk) Maverick on his Honda Gold Wing can just get into third gear as he paces a Reaper down the runway during it's takeoff roll....

Viper during the initial brief: "We're gunna teach ya how to fly the Reaper STRAIGHTER then you've ever flown before....and more stable."

Charlie at bar with Maverick:"<gasps> You're a pilot!"
Maverick: "That's right.....A 'Reaper Operator' "

Viper: "Good morning gentlemen! The temperature in the trailer is 72 degrees."
Goose: "Viper's in the trailer! Great!!

Goose: "C'mon Mav! Do some a that Operator $h*t!!"

Tower Boss to Viper: "ONE A YOUR PROP JOCKEYS DID A FLY BY ON MY TOWER AT OVER 80 KNOTS! I WANT SOMEBODY'S BUTT!...I WANT IT NOW! I'VE HAD IT!!"

Goose: "Holy $hit! We're caught in his prop wash!!"

Stinger to Jester after Mav's AIB ruling: "Get him back in the trailer as soon as ya can..."

Stinger on a conference call: "Ice! Hollywood! Sector Two! And Maverick, you back 'em up with Merlin outta Fallon. They'll call ya if they want ya."

Merlin: "Whatta ya doin'! Yer speedin' up! Yer speedin' up!!"
Mav: "I'm gonna try and outrun him Merlin."
Merlin: "Gonna do WHAT?!!!"

(...and I did all that sober and sans meds!! Wink

)

Great job, Link, but now I have a headache! haha Where's my Bayer?

In TG2, Kelly McGillis gets shacked by a Hellfire...in the very first scene of the movie! DONE!

Instead of Goose dying, Maverick will auger in a Reaper. When it happens, Goose will laugh at Maverick for being a dumb@$$, and then get up for a cup of coffee.

Cougar is just completely bored out of his skull with flying Reapers and THIS is the reason why he turns in his wings! "Dammit! I KNEW I should've flown Hawkeyes or P-3s! I could be at F***in' Southwest Airlines making big bucks right now!"

In TG2, both the producers AND the cast discover that there is INDEED a second verse to "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling".

Instead of rapidly deploying, the graduates simply change from their Dress Whites to their Green Bags after the ceremony. They walk across the street behind the squadron building, and fly the all important final fight. They could even make it one of those dramatic, slow motion group walks, like the famous space suit scene in "The Right Stuff". They could probably even borrow Bill Conti's theme for added dramatic effect.

Stinger: "Gentlemen, this is the real thing. You are the laughing stock of America's military flying community! Make us BORED!...But still do accomplish the mission while you're at it."

Iceman: "YOU! You are still dangerous!...You can sit in the GCS next to mine anytime!"
Maverick: "Bull$h1t! You can sit in the GCS next to mine!"

PS: Link, Maverick won't have to fly with Merlin in the final fight. Goose can't die in this one, remember? They're sitting in a GCS. The only way Goose could die in this one is BOREDOM!
