Movie
Warning: Spoilers ahead. Go see it, or you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong.
Two enemy planes are close-by, so F-14 Tomcats are sent after them. One enemy pilot is afterward scared shitless after being locked-on, and flees. The other enemy pilot then scares the shit out of one of the American pilots after locking on to him with missiles, then is given the middle finger by Tom Cruise (who is one of the pilots, and is flying inverted above him), eventually fleeing. Tom Cruise and his RIO/Butt-buddy, Goose, are then sent to Top Gun. Later, Goose dies, and Tom Cruise becomes emo, though still eventually graduating from Top Gun. The whole movie ends with Tom Cruise killing enemy planes, becoming a hero, and becoming an instructor at Top Gun.
Characters
- Maverick (Tom Cruise)
- Charlie (Kelly McGinus)
- Iceman (Val Kilmer)
- Goose (Anthony Edwards)
- Slider (Rick Rossovich)
- Viper (Tom Skerritt)
- Jester (Michael Ironside)
Game
The whole point of the game is to shoot enemy planes, ships, and a space shuttle. It is impossible to land, though.
The game is notable for the AVGN's review of it. In the review, the AVGN tried to beat the game. Unfortunately, he kept fucking-up the landing, and died. Since he couldn't beat the game, he just made-up the 3rd and 4th levels.
Levels
- Training for the Next Mission
- Destroy an Enemy Aircraft Carrier
- Blow Shit Up
- Vent Your Anger and Destroy the TV
Trivia
- Top Gun is considered very homoerotic.
- Top Gun made people want to join the U.S. Navy.

prettyalmost fitting. - Is also known for its soundtrack, containing, the Top Gun anthem, Highway to the Danger Zone, Mighty Wings, You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling, and others.
- 3 Navy F-14 Tomcat squadrons made appearance in the movie: VF-51 "Screaming Eagles", VF-114 "Aardvarks", and VF-213 "Black Lions".
- With a normal controller, he ended up undershooting the landing. With the U-Force (which is a shitty NES accessory), he ended up overshooting the landing. However, with the Power Glove, he landed it just right. DO NOT QUESTION THE TRUE POWERS OF THE POWER GLOVE, PEOPLE!!!
