Only thing people are missing out on is the big cinema experience. It was awesome by the way. I watched both of them in the theatre. The second one obviously had a much better cinematic experience because of the new technologies. However, the original IMO was a better movie with better acting and a better overall script to the movie... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was new and played into the awesomeness of most of us being kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 24 minutes ago, Sharpshooter said: Cheers. But how did you avoid watching the first one all these years? lol Here's a secret. a) I didn't see the sequel, because I don't agree with the cult Cruise is a part of, so I don't want any money indirectly going to them. (I've stopped seeing any of his movies since Mission Impossible II.) b) I did see the original. And I love F-14's. New fighters are just meh. c) I have not seen any of the Jurassic Park movies. None. Nada. I like Crichton's books, Steven Spielberg and Sam Neill. But I just wasn't interested. I'd probably be cheering for the dinosaurs to wipe humanity out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip The Mesh Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Liked the first, liked the second / In the first movie a reference was made to Peggy Benjamin / she became very real in the second. Not a huge Tom Cruise fan in most of his other movies, but these two are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 One of the lines from How It Should Have Ended, that always gives me a chuckle is. "Sean Bean isn't dying in this scene...." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanSeanBean Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 3 hours ago, gwarrior said: Never saw the first one. So I've never watched the second one. The first one is a classic, but it's incredibly cheese and objectively not very good. The second one was actually unreal good. Admittedly without nostalgia for the first one it probably doesn't hit as hard. But Danger Zone being played on a single french horn or chello during dramatic moments. Chefs kiss. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 2 hours ago, NewbieCanuckFan said: Nope. Sean Bean wasn't in either film so by default, it can't be the greatest. Probably for the better, he would have definitely been on a plane crash half way through the movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 For anyone who's keen to watch the original Top Gun, I dare you to play the drinking game my wife and I made came up with (probably not the first) Drink when -Danger zone plays, obviously -Someone thumbs ups -Someone high fives -Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer have sexual tension The last one if a biggie, you will very quickly realize how much primal sexual chemistry those lads have the entire movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we started doing walk-up songs for at bats he chose the Top Gun Anthem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
