Top Gun (1986)

SAD BOOM MEDIA
About this episode
‘Top Gun’ may have dominated the box office in 1986, but behind the scenes the studio had lost that loving feeling. Join Chris and Lizzie to find out why Tom Cruise barfed on himself, how maverick director Tony Scott kept filming even after being fired, what changes the Navy made to the script, and which of Kelly McGillis’s scenes were added right before release. Plus discover why Val Kilmer literally ran away from his audition, and how his feelings about the franchise changed over the decades.
