Wow
I remembered this scene being so good and after seeing Top Gun II I confirmed it with myself that this is 1000x better than TCs 1000x CGI missiles that had no impact on me nor had me aw while this scene was S tier 10/10 and it was only two missiles.
To date this is still the best missile to fighter scene and has never been dethroned
This was a great movie. Owen Wilson was kind of miscast but it’s still a whole lot of fun.
Pretty sure the guy in the track suit is Niko Bellic.
I love this movie and still think it holds up.
I enjoy a version of the late 90’s and early 00’s cinematography where things were more “extreme” and “grungy” which this movie perfectly shows — shaky cam, sped-up footage, quick zooms and closeups, and freeze framing. It can be annoying and overused, but I think it’s used perfectly here to capture the adrenaline rush of suddenly going from a routine recon flight to trying to outmaneuver from being blow up by enemy missiles.
A not great, but incredibly fun movie
I forgot that main Pilot is the lawyer from Suit (Gabriel Macht)!
Some weird editing, but actually got my heart pounding, which is more than I can say for most action films now.
Great movie and amazing scene, 25 years later I still use this scene to test my surround sound whenever I upgrade or tinker with the settings.
