Damn this was good. I worked on Super Hornets when I was in the marines and had me liking this flick even more. The flying scenes were amazing. I‘m pretty sure the Navy didn’t let Tom go up in a hornet by himself but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of his scenes were filmed in a 2 seater and made it look like he was flying solo. Has he said if he actually flew a jet like he did in the last Mission Impossible?
Every single actor that was a pilot in this movie went up and flew on the back seat of a jet. Cruise designed a 3 month course for them to be able to withstand the G forces and everything else that is at play when you are inside a super hornet (plus had to teach them how to work the cameras inside the cockpit). They didn't let Cruise fly one because of the risk but people have kinda implied that Tom could fly one no problem :hubie:

I mean, the only reason he didn't fly a jet was because the Navy wasn't risking the millions (paid by taxpayers too) those planes cost :pachaha:

thats not the reason why he couldn't fly but i get it.... Pentagon regulation bars non-military personnel from controlling a Defense Department asset other than small arms in training scenarios.. either way.... movie was a solid 10/10

Which is good but those movies arnt just the same as fallout or maverick or predator or T2
Hell no it ain’t it’s why I said I don’t really see him as a action star with no classics 2 minimum for me
Just cuz u do action movies don’t make u true action star or top tier one is what I should say
Hobbs and Shaw is his best one
Cuz I forget I love Scott adkins movies but he ain’t top tier but he is a action star nonetheless
Just like the guy from the raid with both raid movies classics
Jason statham is a bigger action star than the rock as far as I’m concerned and it ain’t even close he got piff movies
