Every scene with an F/A-18 had a real airplane in it.
Sometimes a CGI plane was added with the real plane but every one had a real F/A-18 flying that low and fast.

Well, not to hijack this thread, but it was NOT that simple. It involved some 'hacking' and luck...Stealth planes reflect less radar, but not zero. If they're close enough, radar still works. It may have been the Kosovo war where an American pilot flew his stealth plane directly over an enemy radar / missile site and got hit.
Well they never really say it, but the only country with F14s is Iran and I don't think they have 5th gen fighters yet, but I guess it's a movie and maybe it happens somehow in the future. Plus with a specific gps coordinate, can't you fire a lot of cruise missiles, regular missiles or whatever to hit the target? Some of them would get through the SAM guarding it. But yeah, check your brain at the door and enjoy those flying sequences.For what it is...it is great summer movie. Just leave your brain at home and enjoy the ride.
Just a movie...BUT...5th Gen Russian fighter...Felon...suppose to have stealth like the F-22...how could they track it or 'see' it on radar???
They never mentioned the country in the first movie either. It was just hostiles flying over the Indian Ocean.
Penny was actually mentioned in the first movie, twice. She is the "Admiral's daughter." I didn't pick that up until I watched it the second time.
Yep.......
I agree, it was definitely lightweight and the bar scenes (except for when Maverick saw a younger Iceman. That part was great) were totally just stupid and a bore on a great movie, took up too much time.
My pet peeve and near total turn off for movies is excessive CGI, especially involving airplanes. I have been on the fence about seeing it, but seems like the folks here generally like it...I may go. Our 15y/o daughter liked it, but I'm not sure her crowd judges the same as I would
It was a little long but it was also necessary character introduction. We met all the pilots in that scene.

The problem is that they basically try and recapture what made the first movie a hit so you get more of the same only updated for the times including the big fight sequence at the end. I was wondering about the football sequence until someone reminded me that there was a volleyball sequence in the first movie.Yep.......
