The part of it that bugs me is all these commie actors in it who are so anti-military with everything else they do. Tim Robbins is in it for God's sake.
and for the trivia question I always wondered if the Rossovich in the movie was kin to the guy who played for the Eagles so that is my guess

My fiance and I laughed hysterically throughout Top Gun. We had the same reaction watching 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi last night.

I have to assume that everyone in this thread that hated Top Gun is a hipster millenial that was pissed that the Americans won and Maverick wasn't handed over to the enemy in order to be tried for war crimes.

Days of Thunder is just Top Gun in stock cars.

Top Gun 2 is happening and Tom Cruise will be reprising his role as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. I think it's due for holidays 2016 or summer of 17.

I tried to find some Robbins quotes about Top Gun because I know he's not exactly a booster of the film. Found an interesting interview that touched on it, and explains why a lefty such as Robbins would work on what was essentially a Hollywood version of Navy recruitment film.

I’m sure you’ve talked about Top Gun many a time, but you’ve got such a small yet pivotal role. I have to ask what you think of it now, looking back?
Honestly I haven’t seen that movie since it came out, so I wonder what I would think. You know that was a movie that enabled me to pay the rent for a good two years and do a lot of theater. At the time when I read it the script was a little bit different than the way it came out, so I wasn’t attuned to its other messages. So it taught me a lesson on… well, it taught me a couple lessons on entertainment and how important the decisions you make are.
And also, there’s a difference between when you’re surviving as an actor and a job comes up and you don’t have money to pay the rent and it’s your survival. There’s a big difference between that and when you have actually the choice of material and when you can say no. So I believe that my ability to say “no” over the course of the last twenty years has been something that has been beneficial for me.
The messages you were talking about in Top Gun, do you mean the pro-military mindset that came out of it?
Not necessarily pro-military, because one of the great experiences I had on that film, having never been in the military, was to be around of military people and to understand the human face of that. A lot of the people I met who were serving our country at the time were great guys. So it gave me a wider perspective on the military at the time.
But I’m talking more about the nature of how the film was received and the… shall we say the “jingoistic” nature of how it was received, which is a reflection on the culture and on the movie, but not on the military itself.

That, or because it came out in the 80's. They are like a jealous child when discussing something that they didn't get to experience originally. It's a trait about them I've picked up on.
