The only reason we still have humans in fighter jets is for recruitment (I.e. making the military sexy). Drones could do it all way better as you’d only be limited by the plane’s engineering limits - no need to worry about a damn human blacking out due to high Gs and augering in.
Exactly... they are movies... you have to suspend reality for a bit. In its day, Top Gun was a great movie and people really liked it.. except for Obliviax. At the same time, you have GOT, and Tarrintino movie, Star Wars sequels...etc..
People don’t realize how that head-to-body ratio is so important. Most news anchors always sit a little sideways to minimize shoulder width. Even when you go get a portrait shot the photographer will have you turn a little. Same with group shots of people......best to have everyone turn about 45 degrees.
Plus no need for various life support system, seat and ejection, wind screen, hand controls, visual systems/dash displays.
it is an interesting point. where does one suspend reality and when does it go too far? I guess everyone is different. If the movie is futuristic or scifi, I am more willing to go along. I am OK with Bruce Willis getting the snot kicked out of him with a led pipe, to a point. But if a movie is trying to suggest it is true, my scale is very limited. A pet peeve is a 110lb gal beating up a fit 240, 6-3 dude. I don't care if she has 50 black belts, ain't gonna happen.
right...tons of hollywood stars are short and have been throughout.
Got my tickets for IMAX. I'm not expecting an oscar-worthy motion picture, but I'm pretty confident it will be an entertaining one.
That's why I always bring a recently calibrated caliper on every date.
Are you fuking kidding me! That was one of the greatest scenes in the movie! He was biting out "ICCCCEEEE" classic. My sister and I still that to each other when we are playing a game and are winning! Right up there when Slider asks Goose whose butt he kissed to get into Top Gun and Goose replies "The list is long and distinguished!" and Slider replies "So is my Johnson!" LOL!!! Never gets old!!
That drive through Juarez is one of my favorite movie scenes!! Come on. Watch this scene and tell me you don't get a little chubby!!!
Meg Ryan is a damn shame... She was a smoke and wrecked herself... and Charlie went downhill and went to the other team... so much gone wrong....
But there was Hunter. Fred Dryer was 6' 6".
He had way more movies than that. True lies? That was an awesome movie.
I recognize there are more but I was just referencing him at what I consider the peak of his powers. After 1987 he started doing things like Twins, Kindergarten Cop, and Junior sprinkled in with T2, Total Recall, and True Lies. I like my Arnold to be the an invincible force.
