Topgun

[T37Driver]

Indeed some neat flying in a very capable aircraft. I always liked the profile of the Mirage. Definitely in my top 5 when it comes to pure exoticism. The USAF Viper ain't that bad looking either.
Is that the Alphajet in few of the scenes?

Yes it is. And we almost wound up flying that as the TA-4 replacement. But the Frenchies didn't feel like translating their test results of the bird so we went the the BAE Hawk. That and the whole we buy your Hawk, we'll sell you something. Was going so well until the Brits backed out of their side of the deal.

Cool Deal; Thanks.

This movie is a remake of a 60's movie too. But they didn't have Mirage 2000's back then. :icon_tong

French version of Top Gun? Does the pilot surrender to the RIO?

 

[Kycntryboy]

Maybe we should put a mouse tracker system like they have on their homepage on ours lol

It's been released on DVD with the unfortunately less noble name "Sky Fighters".

Just rented it; will update later tonight.

Yeah, rented it about a week ago, actually pretty good though it's english dubbed, couple of hot ladies in it that do a partial strip tease, flying shots are pretty sweet, Movie Gallery has it.

I have the French version - the flying scenes are pretty sweet.

Chicks were way hotter than Kelly McGillis, but I still like the Tomcat better. Pretty rockin', especially considering it's French.

French chicks are way hotter the Kelly McGillis, or as I like to call her "shovel-face"

The clips I've seen of this movie look pretty badass..:icon_smil

Definitely worth a watch.

Pros:
Quantity and quality of flight scenes
Quantity and quality of chicks
No gay volleyball scenes
No campy 80's music

Cons
Campy French music
Campy B-movie plot
Couldn't avoid Top Gun cliche shots. The first flight sequence looked almost identical to the beginning of Top Gun, down to the 5 meter separation between planes and identical shots.

Keep that up and you're well on your way to redemption.

Rented it about a month back... The acting and plot is cheesy... but the flying sequences and aerial photography are quite good...
