Die Alive 0 Posted October 30, 2002 Here's some other oldish "military movies" that I thought were cool at the time but now I'm not too sure.... Fire Birds (1990) with Nicholas Cage and Tommy Lee Jones The U.S. Government is willing to help any country that requires help in ridding themselves of drugs with support from the Army. Unfortunately, the drug cartels have countered that offer by hiring one of the best air-combat mercenaries and have armed him with a Scorpion attack helicopter. The army decides to send in it's best people from it's Apache Air Combat school. But first they have to be taught how to fly air-to-air combat missions. Iron Eagle (1986) Louis Gossett Jr. , Jason Gedrick When Doug's father, an Air Force Pilot, is shot down by MiGs belonging to a radical Middle Eastern state, no one seems able to get him out. Doug finds Chappy, an Air Force Colonel who is intrigued by the idea of sending in two fighters piloted by himself and Doug to rescue Doug's father after bombing the MiG base. Their only problems: Borrowing two fighters, getting them from California to the Mediteranean without anyone noticing, and Doug's inability to hit anything unless he has music playing. Then come the minor problems of the state's air defenses. Red Dawn (1984) Patrick Swayze C. Thomas Howell Lea Thompson Charlie Sheen A group of high school students become guerrilla fighters when their town is invaded by Central American and eventually Soviet soldiers at the beginning of WWIII in this apocalyptic fantasy. The pressures of their desperate existence begin to wear away at the "Wolverine's" unity as the Soviet bloc forces hunt them down. That's all for now, I'll remember more later... -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Necromancer- 0 Posted October 30, 2002 Hmmn... Hot shots. I remember the scene where topper used the rudder pedals to brake and hide behind a fighter... heh  Or during the "landing" sequence in the end of the film. Topper: "My wings are gone" landing Officer: Doing good. Topper: Im coming in! One of the best Military film is "The Hunt for Red October" imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Longinius 1 Posted October 30, 2002 "Top Gun is such a cool movie- and it's really cool too, because it can be interpreted in so many ways. For example, was there a homoerotic undertone to Maverick and Iceman's relationship? I mean, for chrissakes, at the end Iceman tells Maverick that he can "Ride my tail any time" It's still a cool movie lol" Well, he doesnt actually say that. He says... Ice - "You can be my wingman any time" Mav - "Bullshit, you can be mine" But the "Gay" parallel is very funny anyway : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Longinius 1 Posted October 30, 2002 "I remember there was a sort of copy of topgun made called iron eagle." Iron Eagle was nothing like Top Gun. Both had American heroes and airplanes in them, but that was about it as far as likeness goes : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renagade 0 Posted October 30, 2002 ah but they did both have angry general types with bald heads :o plus in iron eagle 2 some guy was fiddling in an m113 type apc and managed to make the gun go off in the airbase and shoot stuff up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CosmicCastaway 0 Posted October 30, 2002 OK, not a Top-Gun quote directly, but from Hot Shots, possibly the funniest line in the entire movie. "Yankee doodle floppy disk, this is Foxtrot Zulu Milk Shake, checking in at seven hundred feet..." Better if you hear it in-movie, but that one had me wetting my flight suit. As for Top-Gun "I feel the need . . . the need for speed!". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jester983 0 Posted October 30, 2002 Oh god Hot Shots was one of the greatest spoofs IMO. Okay im not a pilot here so can someone tell me what happends when you go into another jet's wash from the engines? Didnt really understand it so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eatmyshorts 0 Posted October 31, 2002 To clear up the "Meg Ryan or the other whateverhernememightbe" question. The perfect compromise would be: The "whateverhernamemightbe" broads porsche, with Meg Ryan in the passenger seat. (Oh, and me in the drivers seat of course! ) As for Iron Eagle; i loved it at fifteen and it has some really nice flying scenes but i think the story would be a little to much for me today. I think Iron Eagle 2-3-4-wherever it's gonna stop are probably the worst crap ever to be produced. But that's just me....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SKULLS_Viper 0 Posted October 31, 2002 If i remeber right, jetwash is where you fly behind a plane to close, and the result is, the engine sucks in the exshaust of the plane in front, thus starving the planes engine of oxygen. Which results in the engine shutting off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Papageorge 0 Posted October 31, 2002 It was about the Navy, So naturaly I hated it. Two hot shot pilots, nothing that great. But for the type of movie it was alright. Nothing I'd buy on DVD. THough the famous Bar in there I used to drive by all the time. It's in Southern Cali by the Family Fun Center lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â <span id='postcolor'> Best ever is the Monty Python RAF banter skit: RAF Banter The sketch: A squadron leader, just off on a mission, runs past, and dashes into a Nissen hut CAPTION: Somewhere in England, 1944 The squadron leader enters an RAF officers' mess and takes off his helmet Bovril (Terry J.) Morning, squadron leader. Squadron Leader (Eric) What-ho, Squiffy. Bovril How was it? Squadron Leader Top hole. Bally Jerry pranged his kite right in the how's your father. Hairy blighter, dicky-birdied, feathered back on his Sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harper's and caught his can in the Bertie. Bovril Er, I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, squadron leader. Squadron Leader It's perfectly ordinary banter, Squiffy. Bally Jerry ... pranged his kite right in the how's yer father ... hairy blighter, dicky-birdied, feathered back on his Sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harper's and caught his can in the Bertie. Bovril No, I'm just not understanding banter at all well today. Give us it slower. Squadron Leader Banter's not the same if you say it slower, Squiffy. Bovril Hold on, then. (shouts) Wingco! Wingco (Graham) Yes! Bovril Bend an ear to the squadron leader's banter for a sec, would you? Wingco Can do. Bovril Jolly good. Wingco Fire away. Squadron Leader (draws a deep breath and looks slightly uncertain, then starts even more deliberately then before) Bally Jerry ... pranged his kite ... right in the how's your father ... hairy blighter ... dicky-birdied ... ... feathered back on his Sammy ... took a waspy ... flipped over on his Betty Harper's ... and caught his can in the Bertie. Wingco ... No, don't understand that banter at all. Squadron Leader Something up with my banter, chaps? A siren goes. The door bursts open and an out-of-breath young pilot rushes in in his flying gear. Pilot (Michael) Bunch of monkeys on your ceiling, sir! Grab your egg and fours and let's get the bacon delivered. General incomprehension. They look at each other Wingco Do you understand that? Squadron Leader No, didn't get a word of it. Wingco Sorry old man, we don't understand your banter. Pilot You know ... bally ten-penny ones dropping in the custard ... (searching for the words) um ... Charlie Choppers chucking a handful ... Wingco No, no ... sorry. Bovril Say it a bit slower, old chap. Pilot Slower banter, sir? Wingco Ra-ther! Pilot Um ... sausage squad up the blue end! Squadron Leader No, still don't get it. Pilot Um ... cabbage crates coming over the briny? Squadron Leader No. Wingco, Pilot and Bovril No, no ... Stock film of a German bombing raid. Voice Over (Michael) But by then it was too late. The first cabbage crates hit London by July 7th. That was just the beginning COLINMAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted October 31, 2002 I watched Top Gun (1986) and enjoyed it, then a year or two later I watched An Officer And a Gentleman (1982), made me realise how much of a rip off from An Officer And a Gentleman Top Gun was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might be wrong but I think that's the bar from "Heartbreak Ridge." Supposedly "Charlie's" house from "Top Gun" is in an Oceanside neighborhood, though. I can't watch "Top Gun" without thinking of an old Bobcat Goldthwait routine where he calls it a two-hour recruiting poster: "Hey man, when do I get to fly the jets?" "After you finish painting the other side of the ship." Or something to that effect. Semper Fi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
