I had this idea for the scene set in Canary Wharf on a quiet Sunday with a team of council workman in the street working on some drains etc and, separately, a pair of window cleaners (hence the gantry). As some top banker/VIP exists the tower buildi…

Either I've seen this in another movie (or it's a new idea) but I like the idea of a fight on one of those big, skyscraper window cleaning gantry's. The stakes rise literally as the gantry rises from ground level and a stray bullet in the control bo…

Yes, a rather clumsy metaphor perhaps. We could see Bond checking his tie in the wing mirror of a silver DB5 to trick us and then he just turns his back on it and walks away. It's hard to draw a line between a "cheeky nod" and something that just t…
-
It's hard because they need to achieve two things in around 5-7 mins. Show us that it's "business as usual" in that we are in safe hands, Bond is very much alive and fighting fit etc etc but, at the same time, show that this is NOT the DC Bond and …

If the DB5 shows up in the next Bond movie, they are in real trouble (PS it would be fun to have Bond perhaps walk by a silver DB5 parked in the street and hesitate/glance for a fraction of a second) and then jump into his Lotus.

I watched Whiplash last night and well, I know I'm in a minority but I really did not like it. All the characters, (minus the girlfriend) were weak and I had no sympathy with any of them, they all deserved what they got apart from the main "villain"…

I like the idea of seeing Bond before he was 007 but it does present challenges re "the formula". Perhaps the PTS provides a chance to see Bond as part of special forces team during a daring raid/mission? (something similar to the Iranian Embassy si…

when an English cinema audience applaueds, you know that's something special. We are a reserved bunch

I'm showing my age but surely, 633 Squadron is the original "inspration" rather than Star Wars?

Is it fair to say that, culturally, the USA has a broad "can do" "celebrate success", "cheerleader" attitude towards life and this is possible reflected in their movies ?It's easy to write this off as cheese but it is possible to create quality chee…

I need to see it in Imax

Thing is, it's easy to forget TC's age. IF he is going to do more action stuff, he needs to hurry. He looks remarkably good for his age but time catches up with all of us...even TC. @Jordo007 I think most people have forgotten "Always" it was a w…

Just had lunch with another TG fan. We chatted about ideas for TG3. We agreed that redoing the template again would be too much but there are few areas of aviation that still have high stakes. We came up with: Top Gun: Ghost Squadron Maverick …

Yes, there were so many roads that it could have gone down, can you imagine how they could have trashed it. The obvious one being "battle of the sexes" rather than just have a female pilot in the team and making zero reference (true equality), they …

I do hope that the success of TG will hit home with other producers (including Bond) to show that audiences want now what they wanted 30-40 years ago. The winning formula has not changed IMHO. It's also interesting to consider how and why we lost to…
-
The thing is (no spoliers) if you take the movie to pieces, it's not remarkable. It just gives mainstream audiences what they want (and what they wanted 40 years ago). It's unreamarkable and breaks no barriers/conventions and steals (in a good way) …

Trying to find a cinema around London that's showing a double bill for the full Top Gun experience.............................

loved it, just loved it

It's a really nice touch, shows she's a complete professional. These small things all add up. Little touches of reality within pure fantasy/adventure.

an idea is one thing, an ultimatum is another...we may never know the reality here.

Within a McQuarrie youtube interview, he is asked about working with such a pashionate actor/producer as TC, he says they have had disagreements but TC has never overridden him. The closest they got was filming certain scenes according the TCs wishe…

theory.... (Spoiler) must do some work :-)
-
so what do we think about an actor insisting on crucial plot/endings and the writers/producers fitting in with these "demands" ? To me , it's "the cart pushing the horse."

Thing about McQ is that he directs and writes for the audience. He has no agenda or personal style to push. He seems to love the idea and challenge of creating high quality, mainstream movies. How many directors/writers are there who do this. He se…

He's a fan of Hitchcock and many of that era but his directing style is nothing like Hitchcock. The Stearman in Part 2 and THE best hollywood runner leads us directly to North by Northwest. A couple of years ago he was tweeting aboout his love of T…

McQ is a huge fan of the glory days of Hollywood. You can see that clearly

all the typists are wearing the same clothes - something almost "Prisoneresque"? love it.

A huge office/warehouse with rows and rows of people using type writers? Thoughts ? a dream? fascinating
