Maverick has that infamous "history of high-speed passes over five air control towers and one admiral's daughter." Goose turns to Maverick to confirm the mystery woman's identity: "Penny Benjamin?" Fast forward 36 years and we learn the two might have more history than just one night.
This character was actually referenced in the original. The result is a spectacular sequel that is a mix of new characters and old favorites who bring this mission home. The Pentagon wouldn't let Cruise touch the controls, but he's actually up there in an F-18 reacting in real-time. For "Top Gun: Maverick," Cruise personally designed a training program to prep his cast for the g-forces. Tony Scott, the original director for "Top Gun," wanted to shoot the actors actually taking flight, but when the cast started losing their lunch, that plan was scrapped. And, of course, Maverick hasn't changed one bit. There's an updated version of Maverick's original commanding officer Stinger. Mostly, though, the overlap is that the story's conflicts come from character types borrowed from the original. The music and title sequence are largely the same. There are shirtless boys flexing in the sand. "Great Balls of Fire" gets played on piano. However, other classic moments are called back. As a result, "Top Gun: Maverick" doesn't feature any scenes of Tom Cruise and crew standing around in towels and tighty-whities.
