No Track Information Available Media Type: DVD Artist: CRUISE/MCGILLIS/EDWARDS/KILMER Title: TOP GUN Street Release Date: 11/16/2004 Genre: ACTION / ADVENTURE Amazon.com essential video: Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility. The dogfight sequences between American and Soviet jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time. The love story between Cruise's character and that of Kelly McGillis is like flipping through pages of advertising in a glossy magazine. This designer action movie from 1986 would be all the more appalling were it not for the canny casting of good actors in dumb parts. Standouts include Anthony Edwards--who makes a nice impression as Cruise's average-Joe pal--and the relatively unknown Meg Ryan in a small but memorable appearance. --Tom Keogh Amazon.com Essential: Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility.

 Rating:  - Get the older versionI bought both DVD's, the new Widescreen Special Collector's Edition (which contains two discs), and the older 1998 DVD, on a single disc. The newer version seems to have altered the movie. In the newer version, when they are in the flight school and Jester is giving a lecture, one of the pilots says, He is giving me a "headache", whereupon Slider says, Don't tempt me. But in the 1998 DVD, the line is, THIS is giving me a "headache". These ... Read More Rating: - Tom Cruise at his BestIf you own an hd dvd player this is a must have for your collection. Great movie! Great Price! If you have a surround system with a DTS mode, select Dolby 6.1 DTS and be prepared to be blown away. Rating: - AwesomeI feel the need, the need for speed ! This is perhaps the most important line in the entire movie which was later used in other movies and games. TOP GUN is by far the best movie around dogfighting and war planes in general. Maverick ( Tom Cruise ) although he is still young in the acting business performs admirably and makes a character that will never be forgot. TOP GUN got a face lift in the HD-DVD version , the entire film looks a lot better and the sound is crystal clear. ...

The filmmakers took great care to achieve realism in some of its technical aspects while letting the plot fly high in typical Hollywood manner. The result is not only a solid mainstream blockbuster, but even for many who flinch at its implausibilities and plot cliches it qualifies as a ... Read More Rating: - An oldie, but...I originally saw this in the theater, and when this movie first came out on VHS, I saw it on a neighbor's in-home theater system, and the sensation was beyond words (for the time). Fast forward to DVD and today's theater technology, and this is still a great movie. But the addition of the second disk really makes this a great deal. The background of the film and the commentary from those Naval aviators who did the flying made this something I could not pass up. I was lucky enough ... Read More |
