Val Kilmer is back in action with Tom Cruise with Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel to the 1986 hit Jerry Bruckheimer production.

Oh, good Lord! This is going to be a guaranteed LOSER!!
Batman Forever will do that to a person.
Is there a scene where these old pilots land on the wrong runway like Harrison Ford?
F-35 is a single seat plane so it make more sense to use the F/A-18 from an artistic perspective.
Memo to Anthony D’Alessandro: “That’s Mr. Ice Man to you”.
I thought I’d read somewhere that Val Kilmer put on a shit ton of weight over the last few years. Wondering if we’ll see a fat Iceman or a thin Iceman .......
Shouldn’t the role be recast with a black transexual? For diversity?
Most likely it will have an ending like the Brothers in SecondHand Lions...
Opps, didn’t make it thru the barn.
Actually, I’m glad Val is healthy enough to sign up for this part. I’d seen pictures of him over the last few years and he was obviously very, very sick. His incredible portrayal of Doc Holiday in “Tombstone” will always entitle him a warm spot in my heart. “I’m your huckleberry”
Kilmer peaked in Tombstone about 25 years ago.
I wonder if they will resurrect Goose?
Kilmer was terrific as Doc Holliday in Tombstone. I still think he should have at least been nominated for an Academy Award for that portrayal. Compare that to some of his other roles, and I think it gives a good example of how important good writing and directing are in film.
I saw one of his later movies a few months ago (can’t remember the name), but he he had gained a lot of weight and did not look particularly well.
That’s Mr. Ice Cream to you, pal.
I thought Fighter Town had been closed. Too much noise for the locals from what I recall.
IMO, they are both a bit long in the tooth for this if they are to be contemporary pilots. Eastwood had enough sense to call it quits with Dirty Harry when he would have been older than any chief of police in the country.
Recent pictures of Kilmer show a frail, sick man. I read he has/had throat cancer and they operated on his trachea at some point. That operation supposedly damaged his voice. In the most recent pictures, he always has his neck covered.
I opined the other day about an Obi-Wan Kenobi ghost mentor role.
Unfortunately, he’d probably tell Mav to eat tofu or chase the lesbian Kelly M or something.
This is the movie that the democrats used to flatter McCain to bend him to their will.
They called him “Maverick” and he thought he was Tom Cruise from Top Gun.
Then they used it to say that as a ‘maverick’ he could ‘reach across the aisle’ and vote with dems.
They would tell him he’s not the type to be swayed by flattery and he was flattered and swayed.
He never realized they ONLY praised him when he voted like a democrat.
He is pretty stupid. He only got as far as he did as a tool, and because daddy was an admiral.
