navychief Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 I finally bought the Topgun DVD, after hearing so much about the sound quality. It wasn't until late last year that I even had the sound system to support it. But today, I saw the DVD at WalMart and bought it. WHEW! I cranked up the sound, and if I closed my eyes, I could almost feel as though I was back on a carrier deck. Only thing missing was the intense exhaust heat, and the stinging/burning of my eyes from the jet fuel fumes. The latter of which, I really DON'T miss at all. It is an old flick, but the DVD release is worth the expense. Awesome! Chief Ward, AMEC Retired. Quote
Guest Ranger332 Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 yeah as long as you dont mind the Mig-28 lol Quote
navychief Posted April 29, 2003 Author Posted April 29, 2003 Yep, you are right about that, Ranger. The movie is filled with errors, but the sound is excellent, for sure. I got a thrill from watching the flight deck sequences more than anything. The flight deck is an amazing place. I have to tell you though, I much rather enjoy watching it, than being on it. Whenever the Air Boss would say, "All unnecessary personnel clear the Flight Deck"; I wouldn't waste any time. I worked as a troubleshooter only for a brief period with VA-15. The rest of the time, I worked as a maintainer, but below decks in the hangar. The flight deck is one VERY dangerous place to be; and especially at night! When they would go to Darken Ship condition, it was a hairy experience at best to navigate across that deck. Heck, just tripping over a tiedown chain could mess you up; not to mention being hit by an aircraft trapping. Chief Quote
Guest Ranger332 Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 rgr that between walking the deck or line for F.O.D. all after is rough but heaven/hell on the carrier, its a joy to watch but to bz to enjoy if your working on it. Quote
+SkateZilla Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 lol Same Here Bought it about 4 months back and Decied to Donate my VCR Version... lol I Installed My New 840 Watt Woofer A week ago just to see the effect. :) My Neighbors called the cops on me.. The WIndow Directly behind the woffer shattered in the opening sequence. Also I hear Iron Eagle and Final Countdown have Good Dolby Digital Sound. Quote
Dutchy Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Top Gun one of mine favorites. And the favorite in that movie is.........Goose. I bought it on dvd a few weeks ago. Great one-liners. Great sound. Okay the Mig's are not real, but in which movie are they real? Not in Iron Eagle. One tip for you all. Buy the CD for in your car. 8) Greetings Dutchy Quote
