Dave Williams Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know the squadron markings on the Super Hornets used on the actual mission? I know some of the carrier scenes were filmed on the USS Abraham Lincoln, but don’t know if the aircraft used any of the resident squadron markings for the in flight scenes. TIA. ETA, I was able to do a freeze frame from the trailer showing one of the mission aircraft pulling up sharply, and don’t see any markings at all. Assuming it’s real, they may have digitally erased the squadron markings. Edited June 13, 2022 by Dave Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw figures of $11,000/hr for the Hornets. Movie had made 883 million at Box office alone in 2weeks. They reckon it might make a billion USD. More if you factor in merch and release to streaming services. Spend money to make money but I think you're right. It'll inspire a lot of young people towards aviation, even if a lot of it was fantasy. GreyGhost, Out2gtcha and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepsGunsTanks Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Finally saw it, loved it, great movie. This is the best you could ever expect out of Hollywood. I just don't understand complaining about a movie not being realistic, even the most realistic productions are filled with flaws these types always cry about! From patches and not going up the cliff in Saving Private Ryan, even Band of Brothers got things wrong. Be happy this movie was not another pile of crap like Fury. Anyway, as a big fan of the first movie, I have to say, the day you can buy it on any streaming service, I will buy it. Hell, it even had Tom Cruise's Personal P-51 Mustang in it! 5/5 Stars, no reasonable person can expect anything better from Hollywood.

Hawkwrench Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Saw it yesterday and absolutely loved it!!! The only beef I have is the 2 scenes of the Navy MH-60S with the dubbed sound of a Huey. Grrrrrr!!!! I can't stand that! Other than that, I'd see it again in a heartbeat! Tim LSP_Matt, JeepsGunsTanks and Shoggz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepsGunsTanks Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 It really is a must see on the big screen. First movie I've seen at a theater since Django. It was nice, the place had big seats with motorized foot rests, no one talked, it was great. My only complaint was the 30 minutes of previews for movies I will not be seeing.

I thought Django really sucked. It was the first Tarantino movie that I ever felt that way about though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattcour Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Impossible not to enjoy a movie with so much aviation stuff. That being said, I would not compare it to the original one, which had an original feeling to it. It still had a light scenario, but it had everything to make it a cult movie: Great shots of aircraft, great music that goes all along with the movie, some good jokes, more charismatic superiors like Viper and Jester, not to mention a very attractive civil instructor we then all adored. The second movie has so many things borrowed from the first one, which is expected to a certain point, and in spite of some high moments a better scenario and acting would make a more remarkable sequel.

I really think the most recent, "Once upon a Time in Hollywood", is really his best. I didn't really like the Hateful 8 either. Jackie Brown is one of my favorite movies though. Oddly the time before the last time I went to the Movies was Inglorious Bastards. I did not see Hate8 or Once upon a time in the theatre. It took Topgun, to get me back out!

cbk57 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) We went to the movie tonight, I was trying to skim a few of the comments in the last 11 pages, we really enjoyed the movie. It was fun, realistic, ah well its a movie. I was not looking for realism. They made an effort at a story that had some connection to the original without taking off at random 30 some years later. I was fine with what they did. I watched the movie, The Northmen for free on Peacock network, I wanted to see it in the theater, it was so bad my wife and I said at the end we were glad we did not pay for that experience. We love historical movies, this one my wife son and I all loved the movie and were happy we paid to see it.
