    TopGun of WWII

    This film will evoke some strong feelings for most who watch it weather it be due to the many hurdles faced by the leading actors who are portrayed in the film or by those who simply want to see them succeed. Just like many films that came after it Clash of the Titans, Men of Honour (which also starred Cuba Good Jr) and a host of other films where there is any element of racial abuse that results in respect/acceptance for those concerned. The mix of live action together with archive footage is done well, the film on the whole is entertaining and is a good watch if you like; Inspired by real life events, underdog winners! If not then watch TopGun Again!
