Miles teller does a good job keeping his characters father’s soul alive.

Fun fact, the bullsh*t scene was totaly improvised by Val Kilmer 🤣

[SynfulSisters]

I love the fact that Val Kilmer's cough was ad-libbed and the actors reaction to it is genuine

[BlueEyes-iizz]

I actually imitated Icemans snubbing of Maverick in a karate class once and got away with it lol

The Hangar to the right of the flag in the background is Hangar 2, home of VMFA-314 - The Black Knights - aka Will Smith's squadron in Independence Day

Now I know from where Patrick and Spongebob class scene got their inspirations

[idcharles]

Is this the best scene ever in movies ever? Yes!

[damienocallaghan]

Tom Cruise is SIXTY YEARS OLD and still doing his own Stunts
Top Gun Maverick is better than the Original
Only Terminator 2 is better than the Original

04/09/2025: The day I found out Val Kilmer’s “cough” was ab-libbed. Shoutout to Anthony Edwards for keeping the scene going.
Side note; Kilmer would’ve made an awesome Albert Wesker.
