Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

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 Libyan 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 is made more palatable by 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


Synopsis

Filmed at the Miramar Naval Base in San Diego. Tom Cruise stars as a top F-14 pilot who flies by instinct, not by the rule book. Kelly McGillis stars as an astro-physicist whom he falls for while training at the prestigious Fighter Weapons School. Wide Screen version.

5.0 out of 5 stars An all time action classic, 29 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Top Gun [DVD] [1986] (DVD)
This film will always be one of my favourites if not my favourite for the rest of time. The action scenes are amazing and Tom Criuse...there is a reason why he is one of Hollywood's finest. Even though you are only watching, it really gets the adrenalin pumping; and after, it made me wanna be a fighter pilot myself ...if one really needs any encouragement to want to be a fighter pilot in the first place! Action, romance, humour, and a good soundtrack ..hard to find a minus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Boys, toys, thrills and spills... what more do you need?, 18 Oct 2004
This review is from: Top Gun [DVD] [1986] (DVD)
Forget all the reviews commenting on the dialogue or the acting or the preposterousness of the plot, the hang-ups over the image of the film or the disgust over the "unlikeableness" of characters. If you're after a serious film, look for it elsewhere. This is Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer - this is thrills and spills at 500mph and 10,000 ft, cheesy lines which are ripe for quotation, a soundtrack to rank among the best ever. And anyone who saw it as a kid will agree, it was many a young boys dream to be just like Maverick, and probably still is.
Get the boys round with a few beers before heading out on the town, sit back, relax and just enjoy the adrenaline...

3.0 out of 5 stars Great film, disappointing DVD transfer, 27 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Top Gun [DVD] [1986] (DVD)
You know the film, but if you're buying the DVD to replace your VHS copy I think you'll be disappointed. There's lots of grain / compression noise on the sky backgrounds and the film print from which the transfer was made is terrible. I guess this is an early transfer but even still there is no excuse for this. Comment relates to the 1999 R2 version - maybe there is a better transfer on Region 1?
