Top Gun 2 Image Teases Recreation Of Original's Iconic Bar Song Scene
A new Top Gun 2 image teases the movie’s recreation of the first film’s iconic bar song scene. Tom Cruise’s Top Gun was of course memorable for its visual style as designed by director Tony Scott and cinematographer Jeffrey L. Kimball. But the movie also contained multiple musical moments that would go on to be as iconic as the film’s many shots of soaring fighter jets, shirtless volleyball players and aviator-shades-wearing stars.
The title of “most memorable Top Gun musical moment” is indeed tough to hand out given how big a role music plays in the film. Certainly the movie’s use of pop songs like Kenny Loggins’ «Danger Zone» and Berlin’s «Take My Breath Away» is central to establishing its tone. But arguably the two most iconic musical moments in the film are provided not by professional singers but the movie’s own stars, Tom Cruise and Anthony Edwards. Top Gun fans of course well-remember the scene where Cruise’s Maverick begins serenading Kelly McGillis’ Charlie with his rendition of the Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” only to have the entire bar join in (the moment is arguably the film’s most cringe-inducing scene as well). Edwards’ Goose also gives his own charming rendition of a classic rock and roll song, performing Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls Of Fire” on a tavern piano with his son Bradley perched atop it, first solo and then with Cruise’s Maverick joining in.
