The movie is quite intense, and it has some violent content and coarse language. Therefore it isn't suitable for children under 12, and we recommend parental guidance for children aged 12-14 years.
I would rate it 10+, but it has some swearing, so I'm rating it 11+. It was very thrilling, and it's amazing to think that these actors had to train for three months to actually fly the planes. The violence might scare younger and more sensitive kids, so keep this in mind.
– A man and a woman kiss, the woman lies back on a bed and sex is implied (we see the man shirtless later and his bare chest and abdomen are seen). A man and a woman kiss and hold hands. A man and a woman hug in a couple of scenes.
April 8 (Reuters) - Paramount Pictures (PARA. O) , opens new tab has won the dismissal of a lawsuit claiming its 2022 Tom Cruise blockbuster "Top Gun: Maverick" borrowed too much from a 1983 magazine article that inspired the original "Top Gun" film.
Toward the finale, there is an intense sequence when several S-words are used and there is one utterance of the F-word. This moment is probably where "Top Gun: Maverick" actually earned its PG-13 rating.
Everything Wrong With Top Gun: Maverick in 23 Minutes or Less
What are the inappropriate scenes in Top Gun?
A graphic-for-its-time love scene shows characters embracing intimately and tongue kissing in profile, but there's no nudity. A teacher sleeps with her adult student. Lots of shirtless men in locker rooms and an iconic beach volleyball scene. Innuendo/references ("I'm getting a hard on").
Mach 10 is a feat that has been previously accomplished by a manless aircraft called X-43A, developed by NASA as an experimental aircraft to test hypersonic speeds. Mach 10 is approximately a speed of 3.43 kilometers per second or 12,348 kilometers per hour, which translates to 7,680 miles per hour.
And Paramount “knew, by that point, there was no way that Chinese officials were going to allow a movie like Top Gun: Maverick to be released in their theatres”, Schwartzel said. Chinese conglomerate Tencent bowing out as a backer of the film because of its pro-US message was also significant, he said.
The Chinese government might also have something to say about Grod's allegations, since they banned "Top Gun: Maverick" from a theatrical release in China, allegedly because they thought the movie implied they were the superpower behind the enemy state that Maverick and company battle in the movie.
This movie rejects modern formulas and presents something new, it's highly entertaining, and it's very well made. On top of that, most legacy sequels have been neutral to disappointing, so people were genuinely surprised to find that this movie was exceptionally good.
Q: Maverick and Charlie (Kelly McGillis) got steamy in "Top Gun," but the bedroom scene with Maverick and Penny Benjamin (Jennifer Connelly) featured a lot of talking, with a kiss at the end.
Kelly McGillis' Charlie was one of the big reasons the 1986 blockbuster Top Gun worked so well. A smart, capable woman in an era of token girlfriends, the Top Gun actress brought a surprising sense of equality to her relationship with Tom Cruise's Maverick.
Here's what to know about Maverick's love interest. Is Penny Benjamin in the Original "Top Gun"? Penny, played by Jennifer Connelly, is not physically in the first "Top Gun" movie, but she does exist in it, though only mentioned in passing. She is never actually seen on screen.
Parents need to know that Top Gun: Maverick is the long-awaited sequel to '80s favorite Top Gun. Expect frequent intense peril and aerial combat, but kills aren't bloody, and you can see someone ejecting with a parachute after their plane is hit.
And that almost serves as a metaphor for how I also saw with clearer, more discerning eyes the racy sex scene between Maverick and Charlie, and heard with keener ears the film's nearly 100 profanities.
A federal judge is dismissing a copyright infringement lawsuit brought against Paramount Pictures involving the blockbuster Tom Cruise-starring film, “Top Gun: Maverick.”
In the trailer of "Top Gun: Maverick," two jacket patches that had originally shown the Japanese and Taiwanese flags (left) appeared to have been swapped out and replaced with two ambiguous symbols in the same color scheme.
The Taiwanese flag on Tom Cruise's jacket was cut from a trailer of the movie (left) but restored in the film's worldwide release. Classic '80s action flick Top Gun is back with a sequel. But for all its soaring aerial maneuvers, the most daring stunt may be a middle finger to China.
When a trailer for the film was released in 2019, Taiwanese and Japanese flags were removed from Cruise's bomber jacket - appeasing Beijing (which claims Taiwan and disapproves of Japan) but upsetting Americans. But when Paramount released the film late last month, it had reinstated the flags.
The decision, according to a recent Wall Street Journal report, was because the film was deemed too "pro-American," a theme that isn't easy for Chinese moviegoers to swallow at a time of high friction between Washington and Beijing. Maverick's jacket has its own story to tell.
Mach 10 represents an object's speed compared to the speed of sound, which is about 760 mph at sea level. Achieving Mach 10 speed is scientifically improbable for a manned aircraft, as the human body can't withstand the acceleration and G-force required.
On October 3, 1967, William J. "Pete" Knight made the history defining moment when he set the record for fastest manned aircraft reaching Mach 6.70 or 4,520 miles per hour. And that was just 64 years after the first flight at Kitty Hawk.
