Err correct me if I'm wrong but the movie was about Navy Fighter Pilots right? How does a movie about Naval Air Combat Pilots come off too Military like? I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ or anything I'm just confused by this statement bboyatomik.

I thought Robert Duvall added something to Days of Thunder that was really missing from Top Gun. I enjoyed Days of Thunder a lot more. Better one liners, more of a point to the story. Who was the enemy in Top Gun??? People we never see or are told about?

easily.

I think, in a lot of ways, that DOT is TC's best movie. strip away all his intentions to please as many people as possible or make a huge high concept blockbuster and you get DOT. if you want to see TC acting as purely himself as possible, just watch DOT again. as a moive, it's very interesting for the sake of assessing the limits of star power with NO story, development, or a shred of plot points that ANYONE could care about. I mean, there is NOTHING in this movie that matters others than seeing what TC brings to a viewing experience, which is fairly impressive. to think that all one can find at every corner is TC, is a testament to how much he brings to any movie. it's a control, in scientific experiment terms, if you will.

I saw Top Gun a few times in late summer, 1989, right when this movie began filming, and I liked it (favorite movie of 1986, in top 100 for me). I've never seen this movie, but I do remember when it was out in summer, 1990, and everyone was saying basically that it was Top Gun on the ground. I knew that was true, and could tell the differences without even seeing it, from Tom Cruise on down. I don't think I will ever see it, as I'm just not a fan at all of NASCAR racing, which being from South Carolina and now living in Charlotte is probably hard to believe, but is true. But I remember it was being filmed in Charlotte, NC in December, 1989, and one night Tom Cruise came to the old Charlotte Colosium for the Charlotte Hornets' home game against the Boston Celtics (the local news showed hin there). That was the Hornets second season in the NBA, and also Larry Bird's first time in Charlotte with the Celtics (he'd missed the entire 1988-89 season due to injury). This team led the NBA in attendance its first seven seasons in the league, but then had low attendance, and decreased fan interest, causing them to move to New Orleans in 2002. They then got another NBA team in 2004-05, Bobcats, which have also had low attendance, but NASCAR racing is as strong as ever around here, and especially the Lowe's 500 in May at the Concord track, which got its typical overflow weekend crowd and immense local coverage again this month. And the upcoming NASCAR related movie Cars will have a special premiere at this raceway in early June, which is getting as much attention around here as the Oscars do in Hollywood. But this proves that any sport or team that comes here will always be in the shawdow of NASCAR auto racing (the Carolina Panthers also realized that in the mid 1990s). And the new NASCAR Hall of Fame was recently awarded to Charlotte, by the way (which I was in fact glad of, though I hope I'm in the much better suited for me Miami by the time it opens-though they did deserve it here).

Days of Thunder may as well be titled Maverick quits the Navy after serving his six year stint and decides to drive stock cars. Same lame background music by Hans Zimmer same plot only instead of the plot being set at Miramar it is set at various race tracks around the U.S.... Same plot different setting BORING!!!!!!!!!!
