Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell has returned to the unfriendly skies to save the world and try and prove he’s the best of the best in Top Gun Maverick and he’s brought two bags full of nostalgia and extreme methods of filmmaking. Filmed with real world F-18s with real pilots flying around pretend pilots seated behind them, the adrenaline fueled sequel is full of nods and tributes as well as an attention to detail that’s staggering. Maverick faces his own obsolescence, his shortcomings as a surrogate father, and the ramifications of his whirlwind romantic life when he was younger. All of this unfolds in the place made famous by the first movie, Fightertown USA. A new crop of the best of the best are gathered to make them even more bestier with the help of Maverick who has still not bucked his authority bucking ways. Old faces like Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer return and are joined by new faces including Miles Teller as Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, the son of Maverick’s REO last seen singing Great Balls of Fire with his father in the first movie. From real world planes to unreal theoretical planes, specific background props, and even a shout out to another 80s movie all together, Top Gun Maverick is an old school thrill ride made with new school techniques. We’ll take a dive into all the nods to the original as well as some of the details and behind the scenes secrets that made this big movie possible.
