Top Gun

    Just watched Top Gun (again). Nothing like a bit of good old 80's tripe of a Saturday night.

    My god though it must be "the George" of movies. Every air engagement seems to be matched by pictures of bulging biceps and beach volleyball.:o

    And i'm convinced Slider is in fact on that side of the tracks. Anyone agree?

    Great movie though.

    They are remaking it (or rebooting it) maybe. Tom cruise and iceman val Kilmer possibly involved. Tom looks the same but val perhaps not so much.

    Yeah Top Gun 2 is in the works, all drones and UAVs done in CGI.

    It will be like Stealth, and that was sh1t.

    Yes, yes it is. Not as much female flesh on offer.

    Aww shìt! They just can't leave anything alone! :(

    Apparently Ashton kutcher playing toms son, Demi Moore playing his ageing mother and val Kilmer now playing Kelly's character.

    In the closet gay man learns to fly planes with like minded guys... Lol.

    Lights On beat me to it. I don't think this is an original analysis I'm afraid OP.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 13,105 Mod ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    Top Gun has so many gay undertones I don't know where to start.

    And a bit of an irony is Kelly McGillis later came out as a lady loving woman...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,541 ✭✭✭Smidge


    Top Gun has to be the most homoerotic movie EVER.. with 300 as a close second. I was out with friends a wee while back in a gay bar and they had a tv playing "the most attractive men in Europe", or some such thing, on a loop.
    Plenty of car washes, hoses aimed in odd fashions and suds, lots of "suds" running off their practically naked(apart from budgy smugglers)and INCREDIBLY toned physiques.
    Not that I was paying that much attention mind :D;)

    Mod: Let's not start getting into saying anything homophobic. Already had to give one card. Would rather not have to give more/bans out, thanks folks.

    Its a crying shame that Val Kilmer looks the way he does now, he was a fine fettle of a man in Top Gun :(

    I know! He was my favourite, now, it looks like his Batsuit melted his face

    Watching Top Gun now. Did you know that Val Kilmer didn't want to do Top Gun, it was part of a previous contract. I'm sure he's glad now cause it's such an awesome movie!!!!!

    You should go to the gay bars on the continent- no shorts!

    Personally, I would have said his low was in the "Ghost and the Darkness", could see a definite change in appearance then :(

    I watched that and must have missed that. Why would he have put on an Irish accent? Because of Farrell? Yanks putting on an Irish accent has always been laughable. But when they don't even have to it's just bizarre.

    Yep, Colin Farrell kept his own accent, so Val Kilmer and Jared Leto followed his lead. And so the "Macedonian" accent was an Irish one :pac:

    He's not fat anymore. Looks like he has got cancer problems. LINK


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,785 ✭✭✭KungPao


    Even the name "Top Gun" sounds gay.

    Top gun, bottom target.

    Was more of a Days of Thunder fan if I wanted to watch a **** 80s film with Tom Cruise being the hero who the ladies can't resist.

    Hadn't heard any of that, he looks pretty unwell there tbh. :(

    Indeed. Hope he recovers. Val was pretty good in heat, and as Jim Morrison in the doors movie. Lot worse actors than val.

    Lot's of people feel the same.

    The bloke doesn't age, has dead eyes, and seems to be an ET doing his best human impression. He's a very odd man.

    Tom isn't the worst either. His personal beliefs may be odd but he has been in a fair few decent movies. Risky business, the outsiders, top gun, the firm, even cocktail had its place at the time. Many others too. Vanilla sky, magnolia, born on the 4th of July, rain man, colour of money.....

    Actually Tom has had a cracking career.

    Auucck, he's not that creepy. Bit strange at times I suppose but not really creepy. Pretty good actor at times when it comes to it.

    Don't agree with the Scientology thing but that's his own problem, not mine. For he a devout Christian or Muslim would it be any different?

    No, religious extremists are a bit intense.

    I didn't like him before the scientology thing though

    I never knew "Merlin" was Tim Robbins. He'd be in jail a few years earlier.
