| The most important 'Top Gun: Maverick' moment nearly every moviegoer missed |
| 2022-07-09 |
| [FOX] "Top Gun: Maverick" has worldwide ticket sales that have already crossed the $1 billion mark. If I’m an indicator, theaters sold many of those tickets to repeat customers. If I hadn’t seen the film a second time, however, I would have missed its most important and revealing five seconds. During my first watching, the scene entirely escaped notice. Producers had sandwiched it between mission-centered drama and supremely distracting high-G maneuvers. But in my second screening, I caught it. The scene occurs just before Tom Cruise’s character Maverick leads three other F/A-18 Super Hornets on the film’s climatic mission. It breaks into two segments, one lasting about 1.5 seconds and the second roughly 4 seconds. |
