All the behind the scenes of the training seemed like such an asset in not only promoting the film, but it stands out in a resume for the cast. It has that "see how committed we are" type of thing. And for being training, while it may not be necessarily "fun", but it looked like a cool experience. Though I wonder if the pilot extras had to do the training as well, because you literally only see their faces for like 30 seconds for the whole film, about 5 seconds of that were in the flying jets (talking about Yale, Harvard, and Fritz). I would assume so, but they could've probably get away with CGI them in the cockpit because the scene was so short, so they didn't have to do the training.

You gotta respect The whole cast for going through intense training like that . Enormous props to all of them!!!

This right here was one of the best parts of the movie. They put the actors through survival training and flight training to be in the actual seat of an F-18 Hornet and film while doing the stunts in these REAL Aircraft. Not a built out tube in a Sound Studio surrounded by Green/Blue Screens but Real Life aircraft in real environments. No Green Screen can fake the feel of pressure in a high G turn, a yank to the side in a roll or sudden weightlessness in a dive. So when the scenes happens and they feel those maneuvers, We as the audience are along for the ride and feel like we're there with them. WE NEED MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS!

Huge props to the cast! Instead of just memorizing lines and delivering them on a set they had to learn an entire set of new skills and training that most people wouldn’t be able to achieve. Their hard work and strength definitely shows!

Tom Cruise went out of his way to “grow” these actors. They were so lucky :)

Tom Cruise: "Go big or go home." People may not like his religious beliefs, but ya gotta admire his commitment to his profession.

Water survival training is standard for Navy pilots and aircrew. Several of my shipmates lived because of what they learned in dunker training.

It is intense, but also builds confidence that you can contribute to your own rescue when your day goes very bad.

This movie and all involved created a great summer in cinema! Heroes with no capes can win at the box office!

I love the dedication that Tom Cruise brings to all of his characters! This is the difference between a REAL actor and some reality personality dipping their toe in the acting ring.

It's phenomenal watching the behind the scenes of their filming. the fact that they workedo n the movie for a whole year i hope there's even more unreleased footages in the making down the road

[Neotheaterr]

dang, that’s insane, mad respect for these actors for the determined attitude. super worth it, TG:M is easily the best movie I’ve ever watched.

[azell]

To them, that's the most intense training for a movie.
But for Tom..it's just Tuesday

[toner]

hope when the dvd come out, they have all the bloopers and behind the scenes moments like this video

[SpecialEffex]

Genuinely, the BEST Summer movie ever made in my opinion. Seen it 4-5 times already.

[mukamadaudi]

This effort and how good the movie was coz of it deserves Oscar nominations of some sort. Right??

I was in the USN from 86 to 90 on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. I was on what was known as the Forward Away Team which would travel to the next port of call a couple days in advance of the ship's arrival and prepare the Fleet Landing, meet with local officials and law enforcement, etc. It was a helicopter trip to get there so I had to take the same survival training as the normal helo crews did. It was brutal. The program I went through was actually ran by the Coast Guard. Holding your breath while the cabin submerged and rolled upside down was terrifying. The panic you have to fight is most of the battle. I love the water and am a strong swimmer, so that helped. Kudos for these guys for making it thru.

This movie was SO worth the wait. I’ve only watched it about 6 times Bought the digital version as soon as it was available on Apple. Awesome job TOM C.

[bjrnchrstn]

And it pays off. Hell of a movie, all 7 times.
