| "Top Gun" Sequel Starts Filming This Week |
| 2018-08-22 |
| About damn time! [Virginia Military News] - The highway to the danger zone will run through Hampton Roads. The sequel to the 1986 blockbuster "Top Gun" is being filmed aboard the Norfolk-based USS Abraham Lincoln this week, according to the Navy. The original film inspired a generation of fighter pilots and served as a recruiting bonanza for the Navy. The much-anticipated sequel began shooting May 31, according to a photo on Tom Cruise’s Instagram account. The photo featured him in a flight suit near a fighter jet with the same helmet he wore in the original film and referenced an oft-quoted line from the original movie: "I feel the need, the need for speed." I can see the lefty movie reviews being written already - 'A paean to toxic masculinity', etc., as it rakes in serious box office. Bring it on! |

| #9 Iceman : You two really are cowboys. Maverick : What's your problem, Kazansky? Iceman : You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous. Maverick : That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous. And I'm shooting dust. (Last line added for the new installment.) |

| #7 All female pilots except the metrosexual male lead and the homophobic women-hating *stupid* male senior officer that obviously comes from "Flyover country" (bonus points if he is a religious hypocrite)... |

| #1 Maybe they'll give Kelly McGillis a new and improved character based upon developments post the original movie. That'll shut the left up (maybe). |
