"Top Gun 2: Maverick" was released in North America at the end of May this year. The North American box office was a complete hit!
As of this week, the film's box office in North America has exceeded US$400 million, becoming the 2022 North American box office champion .
Unexpectedly, Tom Cruise 36 years after the release of the 1986 classic "Top Gun", the sequel is still so good!
The film's reputation in foreign media is also quite amazing: Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness rating of 97%, CinemaScore gave it the best rating of A+ from ticket-buying audiences, and IMDb received a high score of 8.6/10 from more than 150,000 people.
However, it is still unknown whether this movie can be released in mainland China.
Today, Mr. Time would like to put aside those controversies and help everyone review the "Top Gun" of the year, as well as the prosperous and beautiful Tom Cruise .
How popular was "Top Gun" back then?
Let me first talk a little more about the box office of " Top Gun 2".
This film broke Tom Cruise's single-film box office record ($234 million) held by " World War " and became the highest-grossing film in North America during his career.
It is also the first film by distributor Paramount in the past 13 years to exceed $400 million in local box office. The popularity of the sequel movie
has triggered a craze among movie fans to revisit the "Top Gun" 36 years ago.
According to statistics from SambaTV, a well-known data research company, during the week from May 25 to June 1, "Top Gun" attracted 2 million American household users to watch on various streaming media platforms.
This number is comparable to the number of users who watched the director's cut of "Justice League" on HBO Max in the first week (2.1 million). Due to different statistical calibers, the actual number of viewers may be higher than this number.
"Top Gun", released in 1986, is one of the most successful aerial combat films in the history of Hollywood movies.
With a cost of US$15 million, it won a global box office of US$357 million, becoming the global box office champion that year.
The 24-year-old Tom Cruise became famous in one fell swoop with this film, and started his glorious history of more than 30 years in Hollywood.
"Top Gun" uses thrilling air combat plots and shocking real-life shooting methods to lead the new trend of "American theme" movies.
In order to create an air battle scene as realistic as possible, the crew received strong assistance from the U.S. military. At that time,
activated 8 active pilots from five air force squadrons, and 5 F-14 fighter jets assisted in the filming.
Those shining silver fighter jets are chasing each other, whizzing past the tower, or hovering at an altitude of 10,000 meters. It is indeed very spectacular.
In order to perform the flying scenes himself, Tom underwent various high-intensity trainings and also obtained a fighter pilot's license.
This movie is also known as "the most expensive recruitment propaganda film in the history of the U.S. Navy."
After the film was released, it really set off a wave of young people joining the army in the United States, and even created the highest enlistment rate in the history of the United States since World War II.
The young and handsome Tom Cruise also popularized the "aviator three-piece suit" - Ray-Ban sunglasses, flight jacket and motorcycle, which was the most fashionable trend among American youth at that time.
The story of "Top Gun" is not complicated. It mainly tells the growth story of the naval pilot "Lone Ranger" Pete Mitchell played by Tom Cruise.
Mitchell and his partner "Ben Goose" were sent to the Top Gun training base to receive the most rigorous fighter flight training. He is quite talented in flying, but he likes to show off his strength and does not follow the rules, so he often gets into trouble.
An accident occurred during a training, and the two were forced to abandon the plane and parachute. Unfortunately, "Stupid Goose" died. Mitchell has been depressed since then, thinking that it was his fault that led to the sacrifice of his friend.
Mitchell met the beautiful female instructor Charlie ( Kelly McGillis ), and the two had a secret affection for each other, which made him regain his confidence, which was originally discouraged.
After some hard work, Mitchell overcame his psychological barriers, became invincible on the battlefield, and embraced the blue sky again.
Audiences have seen many stories of heroes growing up after their defeat, but the atmosphere of passion and romance created by this movie is more moving than the story itself.
's unbridled personal heroism, the sentimental romantic scenes, and the performance of the fledgling Tom Cruise all fit together just right.
Tom Cruise's handsome appearance when he was young broke people's usual aesthetics of male stars.
At that time, tough guys like Schwarzenegger were in charge on the screen. A slightly shy "little fresh meat" like this came out and conquered the hearts of a large number of female audiences.
In "Top Gun", Tom Cruise contributed many classic scenes of male hormones.
For example, riding a motorcycle to look cool or racing against an airplane.
For example, play beach volleyball with your teammates to show off your toned body.
The soundtrack of this film is also a hit.
Take My Breath Away , a song sung by Berlin band , has a familiar melody that echoed throughout the 1980s and 1990s. It also won the Academy Award for Best Original Music.
When Tom Cruise ran towards his beloved heroine and rode a motorcycle in the sunset, the audience's breath was almost taken away.
will add a few behind-the-scenes tidbits about the film.
The English title of "Top Gun" Top Gun. Some people think it means "top gun". In fact, it is the abbreviation of the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School.
This school is real. In 1969, the U.S. Navy established a training base in California, aiming to cultivate the air combat skills of naval pilots.
film director Tony Scott is the younger brother of the famous director Ridley Scott . 36 years have passed between the two sequels of
, which actually hides a sad past.
Tony Scott
has always had plans for a sequel. The director even went to a certain naval base with Tom to select a location. But after the director committed suicide in 2012, the project began to be put on hold indefinitely.
Later, because of Tom Cruise’s insistence, there was a second reboot.
By the way, the heroine of that year, Kelly McGillis, was a full 7.6 centimeters taller than Tom Cruise who was 170 centimeters tall.
When the two of them were playing against each other, the director had to use the camera to make up for the difference in their heights.
Kelly McGillis did not return in the new film, there is no way, time is not forgiving.
Now she is almost 65 years old, and she is really different from what she looked like back then.
"Top Gun 2" certainly does not forget to pay tribute to the previous work, and many echoing details can be seen in the trailer.
For example, the famous scene of Tom Cruise riding a motorcycle to hit the street, topless playing ball on the beach, and a romantic car ride with the new heroine Jennifer Connelly .
The child held by Tom Cruise in "Top Gun" is the son of his comrade "Stupid Goose". The child's role in
's new film has a new continuation. He happens to join Tom Cruise's flying team, codenamed "Rooster".
Facing the children of his deceased teammates, how will the Lone Ranger played by Tom Cruise overcome the inner demons that have been difficult to let go over the years? Val Kilmer, who played the role of "Iceman" in the original version of
, rarely acted in recent years due to throat cancer . He also returned to the new work and contributed a wave of emotional killing.
Desperate Saburo Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise, who was born on July 3, 1962, will be 60 years old this year.
Absolute male protagonist, hard-working Saburo, good looks, and super long standby time - these keywords have become his most distinctive personal labels.

Let’s relive Tom Cruise’s classic screen moments.
For example, the classic "sudden stop" scene in "Mission: Impossible 1".
" Mission: Impossible 2" is an adrenaline-fueled freehand rock climbing.

" Mission: Impossible 5" thrilling "plane pick-up".
In "Mission: Impossible 6", he personally crossed a high-rise building and broke his ankle , challenging the ultra-low-altitude HALO skydiving with air force level difficulty.
Compared with Tom Cruise’s level of professionalism, his great beauty can simply be “ignored”.

In 1999, the "eye-opening" " eye-opener and " was released. He was 37 years old that year.
Over the years, Tom Cruise has created countless classic characters on the screen with both good looks and acting skills.
Time seemed to freeze on his body, and there was no trace of the passage.
But the most touching thing is his professionalism.

The muscle distortion on Tom Cruise's face is not a special effect, it is all caused by the huge impact he suffered during the flight.
Now when Tom Cruise was filming "Mission: Impossible 8", he climbed out of the cabin of a plane about 600 meters above the ground and climbed on the wings to perform various high-risk stunts. It was scary to watch!
What is retirement at 60? nonexistent.
It seems that this most desperate actor in Hollywood is ready to "fight" all the way to the age of seventy.
