Trivia:
John Travolta was considered for the role of Maverick but didn't get the part because producers felt he wasn't a box office draw at the time. moreGoofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The insignia for a Navy Lieutenant happen to be the same as for Army and Air Force Captains. Thus, Maverick and Iceman are correctly wearing Lieutenant insignia. moreSoundtrack:
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling moreFAQ
Which motorcycle does Tom Cruise ride in the movie?Why aren't more F14's launched for the final dog-fight against the Migs at the end of the film? It seems a little silly to only send up two with Maverick in reserve.

The fact that people are still writing about this film 15yrs after it was first released (and I'm not just talking about me!) really says a lot. I was dubious about writing a comment, seeing as it really has been ages since it was released and thinking that most people who wanted to see it probably already have. After recently watching it for the umpteenth time on TV, I felt compelled to write a quickie ;) I have to say, it's the first time I looked up Top Gun on the imdb and I was actually quite surprised that it only received a 6.4 rating. If you haven't seen the movie yet, don't judge it by the ratings, read a few user comments first and just rent it out, I guarantee you'll have a good time, especially with its amazing soundtrack! The best 80's songs ever written, I still get chills down my back listening to them ;) It's a simple plot but there's something about it that makes it a seriously enjoyable film and one you can watch time and time again. Go have fun! Enjoy!
