So is Jennifer Connely supposed to be a multi-millionaire in this? >Owns a beach side bar in San Diego. >Drives a classic Porsche >Lives in a huge house >Has a sail boat
Likewise for Tom Cruise. How is a Navy captain supposed to afford to restore a turbo prop warbird and own an old airport?
But now to the actual movie--it wasn't bad but the constant rehashing of scenes from the original was pretty lame. >Absolutely stupid cut back and forth piano scene. >Retarded beach football scene >Bringing in Val Kilmer... because he was the only actor from the original that was cheap enough.
Connely is a beautiful woman so she gets life on easy mode. Maverick has his sugar daddy Iceman to cover his expenses.

>So is Jennifer Connely supposed to be a multi-millionaire in this? Yup >Likewise for Tom Cruise Yup >But now to the actual movie--it wasn't bad but the constant rehashing of scenes from the original was pretty lame. >>Absolutely stupid cut back and forth piano scene. It was to explain to a new audience the relationship between maverick, goose, and rooster >>Retarded beach football scene Nope >>Bringing in Val Kilmer... because he was the only actor from the original that was cheap enough He wanted to be back and they incorporated it well into the story, and as far as "the only one that was cheap enough" lol, lmao Blow it out your ass
Samuel Allen
But these are millions and millions we're talking about. Connely is still gorgeous though. Oh, and did you find Tom Cruise's mole distracting?
Matthew Young
assuming you are doing the work yourself an airplane can be affordable. Especially if it is your one and only love Go hang out at your local FBO and talk to some pilots.
Camden Brooks
The Val Kilmer shit was so stupid. I really thought they were just going to have him text him a few times and then do a zoom call to cheap out as much as possible... and that's nearly what they did.
Tom Cruise overacting to a fucking computer screen while Val Kilmer just sits there is hilarious.
Adam Johnson
Not multi-millionaire I guess but easily very rich. She is an admiral's daughter. Maverick has served for 30+ years with distinction and probably makes decent money, maybe not enough to buy an old hangar but maybe enough to find an abandonned one and fix it up and store his turboprop in there. Also the beach scene and Iceman scenes were great, it wouldn't be a worthy sequel without a seemingly pointless beach scene that is actually just meant to be simple character development.
Isaac Ortiz
It destroys the immersion and all you can think is "god Val Kilmer looks fucking weird"
Asher Morales
>Owning a private airport working as a navy captain I don't think you understand how little he makes and how much these things cost.
Jacob Collins
I don't think you understand what an airport is.
Austin Ross
He had a runway and hangar. It's an airport.
Hudson Gomez
He's a fighter pilot, meaning he's an officer with a college degree, he comes from a rich family. Probably inherited the money for the hangar
Brody Phillips
A hanger is just a big empty building made of a few pieces of sheet metal and a runway is just a bit stretch of asphalt. again if the only thing you love is flying you can build both in the middle of nowhere easily and on the cheap.
Carter Anderson
>Inheriting $5 million and spending it all on a private airport lolokay
Christopher Kelly
Yes. And?
Levi Lewis
Maverick would totally do that.
Cooper Miller
Renting a hanger at a small airport can actually be pretty affordable. I assume rebuilding a classic p51 is pretty expensive but I guess he got lots of danger pay from being a test pilot.
Blake Wood
you must be 18+ to post on this site
Anthony Morales
And then spending another $1 million on an old warbird.
Dude, there's no way he could afford this without retarded hand waving like "He inherited $30 million." It just breaks the immersion for me. He's a fighter pilot and fighter pilots are not playboys.
Daniel Peterson
the entire movie was a dream Maverick had while he was dying in the hypersonic jet
Adam Garcia
>hanger
Kevin King
>fighter pilots are not playboys. I see you've never met a fighter pilot
Tyler Sanders
>He's a fighter pilot and fighter pilots are not playboys.
The first movie establishes that Maverick is different from your typical fighter pilot, he is, you could say, a Maverick.
Colton Price
This is the best explanation.

euros: in the us military you get a tax-free allowance after youve served a little while or attained rank, or gotten married, called basic allowance for housing or BAH. its based on region, so if you living in san diego you are making a fuckton of BAH in addition to other pay, which for his rank and service time would be insane already. (though nothing compared to what he could make civilian side)
William Allen
I was watching Avengers, how can Hulk afford all those tacos on a lowly scientist's wage? Took me right out of the movie.
Andrew Hill
He got it as a present from a general whose son he saved.
Caleb Perry
also: navy pilots gamble like their life will end tomorrow because it may, they can both lose and make a lot of money this way
Adrian Miller
What was Iceman's tax policy?
Charles Mitchell
You might have a career as a Hollywood screen writer.
Charles Perez
hurr durr im a pakistani living in germany on welfare let me tell you how much money a navy pilot has
Bentley Perez
Soulless
Nicholas Long
Now, which character from the original movie was the general?
Anthony Cook
I'm an American, dipshit. You don't get rich working in the military. You get rich after you get out doing consulting and lobbying.
Aaron Edwards
>you me? i was in the navy. were you?
Jaxson Flores
Nobody claimed he got rich from the military.
Joseph Watson
And how much did you make living on the government teet?
Jose Collins
Explain all the fancy cars in the Ops parking lot that I saw when I was in the Air Force
