>Top Gun is a typical 80's movie, starring an overrated actor. Lame, predictable story. I'd rather watch episodes of "Q.A.F." than watch Top Gun.

I didn't pay too much attention to the rather predictable story -- was mainly watching it for the aerial photography with the nice-looking aeroplanes. Did have to groan about the "Russian MiG" being nothing more than F-20 painted black (painted black to make sure that you nderstood they were bad guys, and for extra measure pilots were in all-black flightsuits and helmet and had darkened visor so you couldn't mistake them for anything but bad guys. A red star added to oxygen mask to make sure you knew they were Russian)... Also groaned when they show the F-14 (a rather big aeroplane) out-manuevering the much smaller (and agile) A-4... Also groand about the maneuver that Maverick uses to have enemy blow past -- bleeding off speed like that in aerial combat would generally prove to be deadly -- to HIM.
