79-cringe-worthy-technical-errors-in-the-movie-top-gun

Love this one:

(1:23:20) Viper explains, “It’s not something the State Department tells dependents when the battle occurred over the wrong lines on some map,” which ignores the fact that the Pentagon would be pissed if some random State Department dude spoke to surviving family members at all.
 
It is a goddamn Jerry Bruckheimer joint. I also don't think Miami Narcotics police could wage war against fucking Cuba but no one is breaking down the mistakes in Bad Boys 2.

Top Gun is rad, and if you don't like it then fuck you.
 
The only scene worth watching in Bad Boys 2 is when the "Former Delta" guys with crazy beards and all buffed out go into the room with Marcus and Mike, offering to sneak in to Cuba and help get Marcus's sister back. It give me chills everytime I see it, douche chills, but chills none the less.

Bro, I was defending you.... letting the uninitiated be warned of the dangers of dissing Top Gun within the bounds of your perception.:wall::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
Top Gun lags behind Point Break, tying for second with Tombstone.

With that said, most people wouldn't catch 90% of that list. How many non-Naval Aviators know what freaking gauges are in the backseat? Stall recovery or NATOPS procedures for the F-14? Airplane guys and scale modelers.
 
Truth be told saw Top Gun in the theatre no less than a dozen times when it came out - made me want to join the Navy and be pilot. Then I failed trig (again) and realized that likely was not going to happen.

The only issues I had with the flick when it came out was the flat spin out to sea (never saw water before), thought it was strange the Coast Guard would rescue the noticeably dead guy first, and that they got orders during their graduation to go solve a world problem far away on an aircraft carrier; were there no other qualified pilots remaining on the ship?

Must be a generational thing. I saw the Sands of Iwo Jimo that many times. Sgt Striker was my hero not some punk fly by kid.
