TOP GUN





Top Gun
-
You can't get more 80's than this movie, loud electronic beat soundtrack, the main characters are 2 dimensional and arrogant, and all the guys had sun tans and gel in their hair. Tom Cruise plays Maverick 20 years before his jumping on the couch performance on Oprah.
Maverick is a selfish ambitious wreck less Top Gun pilot in training. This movie was filled with homo erotic innuendos from the moment Val Kilmer meets Cruise to the to topless beach volleyball scene to the walking around in underwear scene. They say this was suppose to be a Guy's film..perhaps of the flying machines and stunts but other than that I can't believe that men are as shallow as the characters on the film or anything this film represented.
The most ridiculous thing about this movie was once all the pilots graduate from their top gun training, an unidentified group of terrorist or enemy of some kind are heading toward the United States in a surprise air attack. But just in time for these fresh out of the academy cocky pilots go hop in to their manly fighter jets and shoot everyone of these attackers off the sky.
No questions asked and no one even explain who the attackers were, just so that Maverick and his pals can do some sky high stunts. Later everyone cheer to the 80's dance soundtrack as Maverick rides his motorcycle to pick up his much-too-old-for-him middle age girlfriend: played by Kelly McGillis wearing a bomber jacket and mini skirt.
Like Oh Mi Gawd it's totally rad dude!
