Top Gun

Have to admit, we don't really have much of a plot yet, but we have Kenny Loggins, a scene where topless guys play voleyball and the support of the US Navy. In fact, we've agreed to have them finance half of this movie as a recruiting tool. What we're thinking is a story of a hotshot young Navy pilot and his goofball sidekick(goof...goose...Gooseman?)who takes risks in the air, and nobody likes it, especaially a spiky-haired young actor named Val Kilmer, who expresses his un-appreciation with gum chewing and teeth snapping.

Someone who does happen to appreciate the Maverick man (at least privately) is a hot blonde who happens to be...the pilots' intructor of some sort! Maverick courts the young lady by having a badass, cocky attitude, riding his motorcycle fast, playing a synth-fuelled tune by Berlin on a loop and publicly serenading her with an old Righteous Brother's song.

Following a few successfull, but much-maligned trips to the skies, Maverick and Goose encounter some trouble...Maverick wants to be in the movies and Goose prefers tv hospital dramas, so they head seperate ways. No, actually, Goose dies trying to parachute out of trouble, and the movie decends into 20 minutes of the same sad music.

After the Goose incident and more sad music, Maverick decides to pack it up and head for the set of a new Oliver Stone movie. But after consulting with a mustauched Tom Skerrit, who flew planes with Maverick's pops back in the day, Mav decides to attend the understated Top Gun graduation, which will take place at some sort of community pool. However, trouble is afoot...something, which we won't make very clear, has happened over the Indian Ocean and the newly graduated Top Gunners, including Maverick of course, are immediately sent on their first mission. Being peacetime and all, we need to come up with some BS incident, with unidentifiable 'migs' causing trouble overseas.

The super flying crew is joined on an aircraft carrier with the guy who just played Strickland in Back to the Future. Val Kilmer (Iceman, the gum-snapping cool character) and his wing man lead the way, along with Wolfman, who has a cool name too, but won' be played by nearly as well-known an actor. Maverick kind of plays the reserve in this drama, but when Wolfman can't escape the migs, Maverick gets motivated by Kenny Loggins and saves the day. After much reluctance, Iceman welcomes Maverick into his world of cool and accepts dangerousness....the world is ok.

















The flying scenes in this movie has tons of cuts and will be very confusing, but we're confident viewers will be so enterained by all he hunky actors and quinessential 80s music, they won't care. A generation of 7-year-old boys will just want to mistakenly join the Air Force, but we won't tell our Navy financers that.

Thanks to Kenny Loggins, we have a sneak peek of the lead single in this drama, fittingly about a zone that's dangerous.
