Seems that Tom Cruise was approached and has agreed to do a Top Gun II movie.

Seems like maybe not....

Sorry "Top Gun" fans, it appears Tom Cruise returning to the franchise has not been cleared for take off.

Kenny Loggins hasn't had a hit in years.

Cmon you cant make a follow up to Top Gun. Theres no story there. Or if there is, what is it? Maverick leaves Top Gun after Charlie and him break up and he goes to Iraq and kills the bad guys?

If there can be a "Weekend at Bernie's 2," any sequel is possible :)

Highway to the danger zone. For Tom Cruise. This would undoubtedly be his "jump the shark" moment if he makes it.

Very true. Maybe the Navy needs to up its recruiting? But still this would be a travesty.

Well, the movie was in 86, so any kids that Maverick and Charlie had should be about the right age to be flying jets right now. ;)

Many, many, many years ago, I was working at a company right behind Miramar. My favorite place for lunch was sitting behind the buildings watching the planes do their 'touch and go' practices.

One day, I was watching and this one plane wasn't doing normal touch and goes. In fact, I was seeing him doing some stuff they don't normally allow. Then, when he buzzed the control tower, I thought, "Oooh, that guy is soooo fired!" Imagine my delight when we went to see "Top Gun" in the theaters and I realized that I'd been watching the filming of some of the scenes!

Right after that, during the next Air Show, I got an autograph from one of the Top Gun pilots for a friend's son. I thanked the pilot, walked away, then looked at the signature on the cap - "Hollywood Dishart". Yup, they based some of the pilots on the real guys and used their names.

Too bad Lou Gossett, Jr. didn't get the same respect. I bet he was ready to kill himself by Iron Eagle IV.

Hey, it's a paycheck...and that's a lot for an actor.

For what it's worth, and I had to look her up because she always was a hottie, Kelly McGillis has aged well.

Looking back, I think Top Gun was his jump the shark moment. Or was it jumping on Oprah's couch? :lol:

Mmmmmmm! Smokin'! Kelly McGillis is hotter than ever! :p :p :p

Thanks for the retrospective, Spock.

Ya'know, it's been said you can't go back, but I have done
so, many, many times...if only in my mind! :sure:

"Deniz Tek is a trained ER doctor and navy pilot. Tek's navy codename 'Iceman' was appropriated by visiting screenwriters for a character in the hit movie Top Gun."

I know "Iceman".
Dr. Tek works in the ER of the hospital I work in.
He's also a huge punk rock guitarist in Australia (Radio Birdman).
