Do you feel there was no room for any other personality in this film than Maverick? Every other character seemed to be a caricature.
While there’s certainly something stagnant about remakes like this, and the nameless enemy mission was beyond contrived, I really did enjoy the film. I think I have become a fighter jet geek overnight.
So did they just cut two versions of that scene for maximum revenue?
That would make total sense for that
Very short scene
Otherwise film can’t be shown in China
Yeah I agree the movie was all cruise/maverick everyone else was just part of the furniture
That was incredible
That cruise guy actually flies
Like a madman
He’s insane !!
What a ride though
Probably will be missing when the film is showing in China
A couple of my friends helped design the darkstar jet in the movie. 
Ita based on the Blackbird S71 isnt it .The most amazing aircraft ever built in my opinion . You could do a whole movie on that itself.
Maybe it was answered already but why do they fly superhornets not F35s in the movie?
The F35s were the enemy gen five ?
I think they were Russian gen 5.
Apparently not Russian but
F35s they say

Poor Val’s not doing good these days
He’s done a few other movies aswell, more like b movies. At least he is alive and kicking not like in the movie!
Not really.
Check out SR71 and SR72. SR71 was the fastest plane ever flown. The skin of the plane would glow red hot in flight at max speeds.
Fastest air breathing plane. The rear of the nacelles would get hot as hell from the engine at full blast, but the effect of aero heating from the high speeds isn’t nearly as dramatic as red hot (“only” 500F or so stagnation temp iirc).
But I was right about it being the basis for darkstar.
No (and your link didn’t claim / support that), other than that guys who drew it would be well aware of the 71.
