Well, I don't know about it being the best recruitment movie the Navy ever made. I think the Navy tolerated it b/c they had no choice. But I definitely know that Quentin Tarantino has NO idea what it is like to fly/land on "postage stamp sized ships" in a tossing sea in the dark of night.Originally Posted by vt_maverick
Ah, the best recruitment film the Navy ever made. When will pilots - excuse me, naval aviators - move past Top Gun?I worked at a Joint command whose commander did some of the photography for the movie. I swear they played the Top Gun soundtrack in the hallways at least once a day.
Teasing aside, it still is a bad *** movie.
Now to me, that is the stuff of real men and the stuff of legend.
As far as Tom Cruise, I guess he was the "preferred" candidate for that movie at the time, but I would like to see a remake WITHOUT that whiny bastard.
