Trivia:
Because of the strict rules prohibiting jet aircraft (and in particular, fighter jets) from flying over Paris airspace, director Gérard Pirès got permission to shoot the film's climactic final sequences over Paris on only a single day, Bastille Day (July 14th), with an additional rehearsal day on July 12th. Because of bad weather, the July 12th rehearsal had to be canceled, thus forcing the crew to rehearse and film everything over a critical few hours on the 14th. Although all of the most important shots were achieved on the 14th, a small propeller plane was brought in for some additional footage of the ground later on, and the film was sped up by 4 times to match that shot by the Mirage 2000 camera perfectly. In addition, all of the footage shot from the ground of the planes during the final sequences was filmed on Bastille Day, the only time in the entire year that the French government proudly displays its military forces in the capital. The military parade shown in the film is the largest in France held on Bastille Day, and it is held on the Avenue Champs-Élysées, near the Arc de Triomphe. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Airliner seen in first air combat scene is Airbus of manufacturers (EADS) own fleet. It's paint scheme is modified with CGI, but graphic artists didn't "repaint" it completely and it's original colors can be seen in wing as reflection. more

That's a great movie and all aircrafts lovers should see it. Awesome aerial stunts with no special effects on board - please!!. Despite an average end and a weird story, the comedy is here. Great casting, hot girls, and 100% full-loaded adrenalin planes. Top gun finally have a challenger. Everyone is waiting for critics and comparison, but as far as i'm concerned sky fighters (US title) is far better than his older brother... The shooting is so neat and the sights are simply outstanding. The director as well as the pilots did a really good job. Waiting for an Hollywood reply... but the task will be tough! OH Yeah! Very good french action movie by the way, and i hope it will have the same success abroad. CAUTION: Do not forget to fasten your belt. 2 thumbs up !
