A little something for the veterans out there.
Xinwen lianbo, or News Broadcast, on China Central Television, comes under fire again for its report of an air force training exercise on January 23. In the newscast, the way a target was hit by the air-to-air missile fired by a J-10 fighter aircraft and exploded looks almost identical to a cinema scene from the Hollywood film Top Gun.
A net user who went by the name “刘毅” (Liu Yi) pointed out that the jet that the J-10 “hit” is an F-5, a US fighter jet. In Top Gun, what the leading actor Tom Cruise pilots an F-14 to bring down is exactly an F-5. Looking at the screenshots juxtaposition, one cannot fail to find that even flame, smoke and the way the splinters fly look the same.
On the left are screenshots of CCTV News; on the right are screenshots of Top Gun.

Ha ha.
I wonder if their J-20 stealth jet is a big fake too?
Wonder if David Axelrod consulted with them on this.
What really gave them away was the fact that they used the original sound track.
I have my suspicions. I’ve seen the aircraft. I have no idea about the “stealth” part. I guess we won’t know until they attack Taiwan.
Wonder if David Axelrod consulted with them on this.
lol
They faked their manned space mission...why not this?
I was thinking maybe they used the shot where Maverick was flying inverted over the MiG and giving them the finger.
The music instantly filled my head upon reading this title. It’s going to be stuck there the rest of the night!
I guess it takes your breath away, just like a highway to the danger zone.
LOL! I had to quote that in the post. I spit my pop on my keyboard.
Every thing China has was stolen from the US or Britan, so no surprise.
Probably got it from Bill Clinton.
LOL! I had to quote that in the post. I spit my pop on my keyboard.
It was the scene where Tom Cruise sped through the city on his motorcycle. They superimposed the face of the Chinese pilot on his body. They replaced Kelly McGillis with a freaky, big eyed anime chick.
I know you’ll get a chuckle out of this.
You’re not helping! Now it’s stuck in my head today, too! Thank you! ;o)
