jj said:How will they write this? Dogfights are pretty much a thing of the past. Todays fighters have stealth, radar ranges over 400km, and shoot from a distance. They will have to introduce a situation with a broken radar or two stealth planes that just happened to fly past each other for this to be plausible.
Did you just time travel from the early 60's?, because that is pretty much exactly what they said back then... 
Some of the maneuvers the modern vectored thrust planes can do are pretty extreme, so it could get weird.

And the fact that they screwed this up in the 60s is a pretty central part of the original movie -- it's why "Top Gun" existed at all.
As for the volleyball scene, they moved the school from San Diego to Nevada when they gave Miramar to the Marines, so it's a looooong way to the nearest beach. :)
I don't mind that they are doing a sequel. It's not like the original is some masterpiece of cinema. Why not try to cash in with a sequel.
As for Danger Zone, clearly Cherlene's version is the best one. Outlaw country!!!
In reply to jj :
In a small, nondescript office park in Nevada a nebbishy young man is about to mistakenly drone the last McDonalds in Yemen. Danger Zone is playing in the background from a small desktop radio courtesy of Oldies 98.7, The best of the 80s, 90s, and aughts, when he starts running his mouth again about how superior his generation of chairborne rangers is to the old timers who had to actually go outside and fly planes. Seated at the console next to him is an aged somewhat paunchy Maverick who is growing tired of listening to this brat drone on, so to speak. He gets up and wraps his HurryCane around the kid’s throat until he passes out. As the blue kid slumped over his controls Maverick belts out the chorus with the scratchy FM radio “Zohhhohhhohhhnnne!!!!” ....

I would totally watch that.
you should really write a screenplay. I think it would be hilarious.

Stealth aside, they had all the in 86.

When reality so blatantly crosses into the territory of the absurd, google canna help ya laddie
Val Kilmer is still alive? I thought he died of Cushing's disease or something
