Top Gun was a homoerotic orgy of greasy machismo

[Wallenberg]

Top Gun, Tony Scott’s original 1986 film about the Navy’s elite school for fighter pilots, was a homoerotic orgy of greasy machismo, gunned with adrenalin-filled action sequences, motorbikes and occasional heterosexual sex. I watched it on repeat at my best friend’s house, mostly because I had a huge crush on her brother, and it was the only film he let us watch. (Go figure.) The critical consensus was that this dogged eulogy to male leadership, muscle power and US military might was pretty rubbish: I loved it for the long tracking shots in which implausibly buff actors such as Val Kilmer wandered around in towels.

The Maverick genius of Tom Cruise

Top Gun is back, along with an onslaught of Eighties cultural icons. Bring it on

The intro is cool. Did you notice that in the volleyball scene the only guy who is wearing is the non-gymcelled one?
