The original Top Gun is about a bunch of people who recognize how to travel very sophisticated fighter jets but possess not yet determined that they can wipe sweat off their own faces with even average paper towels. Top Gun blew all the hell up in the summer of '86 for a variety of reasons: the Reagan-era jingoism, Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone,” the absolute incandescence of a young Tom Cruise. It was a big, sweaty phenomenon.
But Top Gun holds an entirely separate place in some of our hearts. A few of us walked into that multiplex and launch ourselves excited in ways our peers may not hold been. Some of us witnessed a moment that stayed in our hearts forever.
I communicate, of course, of the beach volleyball scene, a one minute and forty second sequence in which a shirtless Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and Rick Rossovich (plus a wisely shirtful Anthony Edwards) face off in a high-stakes pickup game to the sound of Kenny
