The real pilot (who flipped off the Ruski) is on the Space Shuttle team now.

Think of how many more errors will be found when one of you guys gets it on Blu-Ray!

Actually, you are correct.

"E" Entertainment did a story on the watches of Top Gun some years back.

The cockpit watch, as it turns out, is on the wrist of Penelope Cruz.

According to the story, they were editing a movie she made and Top Gun at the same time. The editor grabbed the wrong piece of film (marked Cruz instead of Cruise)....

The Penelope Cruz movie was a remake of From Here To Eternity updated and with an all female cast.

Hope this bit of Hollywood trivia helps.

I really like that IWC watch...

It isn't just that movie. Ton's of movies are like that. In Oceans 11 there are many mistakes like that. Brad Pit has a cocktail shrimp goblet, that switches to a plate, then back to a goblet, etc and so on.

Someone is pulling our legs here.. Penelope Cruz was 12 years old when Top Gun was made. Her firste movie premiered in the early 90s it seems.

I made Chief Petty Officer (CPO) the year this movie came out!

Those of us in the Navy went to see it and laughed at the inaccuracies.

Still a great action movie; but not perfect on the details.

I still break out in a smile when I see it on TV. A nice YOUNG Meg Ryan

starred in this movie (smiling).

ebrigm · 24 November 2009, 12:58 PM

I was in the US Navy for 10 years, and did a 4 year tour on an Aircraft Carrier. While on deployment, they would play Top Gun every so often. We called it the "recruiting movie", as so many of us joined in the years following that movies release.

On topic though, I'd be willing to bet the real Naval Aviator was the one wearing the Rolex Sub, not Tom Cruise.

What carrier? I did tours on the USS RANGER (CV 61), USS AMERICA (CV 66) and USS SARATOGA (CV 60).

Also did two "small boy" tours, USS CHARLES F. ADAMS (DDG 2) and USS COONTZ (DDG 40).

Fun times, yeah right!!!

I was on the USS CARL VINSON (CVN-70). Was also stationed on shore duty in Pearl Harbor, and with the Marines at MCAS El Toro, CA. Got see alot of great places and work with some awesome people.

I sold my Breitling TOP GUN to a Top Gun instructor, took along time to do the deal, but I was in no hurry. It was virtually NOS, the guy was really pleased with the watch, and great to deal with, seemed the kind of guy who would run marathons and climb everest in his spare time..

bewithabob · 31 March 2010, 04:05 PM

i love my Top Gun ceramic...

Dr. Jones · 31 March 2010, 05:52 PM

I liked the movie as well. On a side note I find it cool that Military members, police, fire, and medical staff actually wear Rolex watches. I have met many of these heros with real Rolex watches on their wrists.

Rolesor · 1 April 2010, 10:08 PM

I haven't read through all the posts so someone may have already said this but that movie is notoriously littered with consistency mistakes.

www.moviemistakes.com check that out

moviefreak · 19 April 2010, 11:02 AM

Just saw a picture of the lady instructor...

... she lost that love and feeling...

brigadoonb · 6 May 2010, 03:45 AM

^^^^^ no she's didnt man....oh come on...I hate it when she does that.

I loved that movie. I was like 8 or 9 when that came out! I remember trying to make my teeth make that clicking noise iceman does.

One more thing, Tom Cruise's flight suit is displayed in Bubba Gump restaurant in Monterey, Ca! And it looks like something you see in the kids section at the mall because of its small size!

I saw the movie the day after graduating high school, way too young and uneducated to notice the many technical errors, just some with continuity. Seeing this huge list is really fascinating and super cool, but I'll stay with my fanciful teenage eyes for just once. This time only. I think I want to see it again now!
