TG has a distinguished soundtrack with many great songs and musicians.
If they cannot replicate that sound and feel, there is no point in making or watching this.
True and I really hope it's not rap and techno. It needs to be 80's style rock.
share"Many great"
They played the same Kenny Loggins song like three different times throughout the movie. And a rendition of Take My Breath Away 3-4 different times throughout.
I think TG soundtrack replicated itself enough already
If you're out because of some cheesy 80s era songs, be my guest. I for one am in it for some updated fighter jet actions scenes and the continuance of Mavericks story. The tech has updated, the jets have updated, warfare has updated, film shooting capabilities have updated... So will some of the music.
Are you crazy?
They seriously have MANY great tracks on this soundtrack.
Check it out:
1 Danger Zone (Top Gun Theme) - Kenny Loggins
2 Mighty Wings - Cheap Trick
3 Playing with the Boys - Kenny Loggins
4 Lead Me On - Teena Marie
5 Take My Breath Away - Berlin
6 Hot Summer Nights - Miami Sound Machine
7 Heaven in Your Eyes - Loverboy
8 Through the Fire - Larry Greene
9 Destination Unknown - Marietta
10 Top Gun Anthem - Harold Faltermeyer & Steve Stevens
11 You've lost that loving feeling - Righteous Brothers
My point still stands. You literally said "Don't bother" because of your nostalgia over these songs (And by all accounts, they are indeed cheesy 80s songs). If you dig that stuff, more power to you. Stay home from this one and jam out to your TG cassette all you like. But to suggest that's a make or break is laughable.
shareYou can take your point and stick it, pal.
I am not talking about nostalgia over some songs.
I am talking about filmmaking. You are not.
TG is as based on its music as it is on dog fights. That's the whole production right there. You take half of that equation away, you get nowhere. And these musics are fitting the mood and the rhythm of the action, greatly adding to it.
And they are still awesome. The only thing cheesy here is your dick. Get a clue.
Just because you're stuck in the 80s doesn't mean the rest of the world has to be. And I have a good clue...about what you're actually doing during the volleyball scene....playing with your boys. HAHAHAHAHA
shareWhat does your lame reply have to do with anything?
Do you have any argument besides the very original "80s Are cheesy"?
Not your fault if you missed them, totally your fault if you don't get them. Why are you even on this board if you do not like them?
TG is an iconic product of the 80s, and it reflects this on every angle, including its OST. A good sequel should carry on that same vibe.
So I have to be a fan of 80s music to be on this board? Wtf is that dumb shit youre saying? LOL. Im here for the movie, you're the one bitching "dont bother unless" you dumdum! Hahahaha!
It's okay, you don't need to play dumb. Your favorite scene in cinematic history is the volleyball scene, you get so excited for that scene. It's ok to admit that. Mix in some Kenny Loggins and I'm sure you explode with excitement. There's no shame in it.
Ok troll, other than your retarded "joke" about off topic bullshit that has been said only a trillion times before by better people than you, you still miss the point, clear to anybody that knows the slightest shit about filmmaking, that the soundtrack IS also the movie.
Obviously you are one of those asshats that "watch" movies for the "story".
Well guess what, get a clue instead of spending your time trolling about shit you don't even understand.
It's absolutely fucking hilarious how you're on this message board sticking out your chest about filmmaking. I'm sure Joe Kosinski has you on speed dial for when he makes his soundtrack decisions. No? Oh that's right, you're actually just a pretentious prick. Only a pretentious prick is going to watch Top Gun to listen to some songs...WTF? Seriously, who goes "Im going to watch Top Gun because... 80s music!" And then you're going to get all uppity about you filmmaking knowledge? Youre a fucking clown!!
Why are YOU on this page when you should be jerking it next to your Bon Jovi blow up doll, or at least go wax about on the TG page, not here. I can tell you're a crusty old fart just by the way you type HAHAHAHA
You are the only one laughing at your pathetic attempt at critique.
Your comments are so superficial, ignorant and irrelevant that it is difficult to not dismiss them as some pitable trolling.
Keep repeating your worthless tune over and over.
Nobody is gonna listen to it, but at least you will feel as accomplished as a toddler shaking his rattle over and over to signal that he crapped his pants.
Only, your content is not as valuable.
