That’s when they really felt the G-forces, and they really felt them! What you see in the trailer and what you see in the movie is really them in those planes, handling those G-forces. For two months they were in all these other planes, and then for the last month they were in the F-18s. But you don’t really have that much speed in a prop plane, so then he put them in a jet, and they could really start to feel the G-forces. We started in a prop plane and then he put them into aerobatics – he’d spin them a little bit. It took three months to train the actors to be able to be in an F-18. But Tom was the only one who could handle the Gs – the rest of them were throwing up! It was a disaster! So, for this movie, Tom put together a training program for all the actors. We took advantage of what we’d learned, so we put everybody up in these planes. How about the other actors on that first Top Gun? Is it right that they were physically sick, with all the Gs? He just said, ‘I’m in! I’m doing the movie!’” These pilots, they took one look at him walking onto the tarmac and they were like, ‘Oh boy, we’re going to give this guy a real ride!’ They took him up there and did all kinds of Gs and flipped him and spun him, and he loved it! He got out of the plane, went straight to a phone booth and called me up. At the time, Tom had just finished a movie with Ridley Scott called Legend, so he had a long ponytail. So, we sent over the script, and it was a journey to get him to commit! But he finally committed after I arranged for him to fly with two Blue Angels, in El Centro, California. When we had a script, we hired Tony and the first person he wanted to give it to was Tom. It was quite a journey to get the movie made. We hired some writers and started to put it together. So, I threw it on Don’s desk – he was my partner back then – and he said, ‘Oh wow, this is great! We’ve got to get this story!’ So, we negotiated with the magazine and got the rights to the story.

This is amazing!’ The piece was about this school named Top Gun, in Miramar, California. I was like, ‘Whoa! This is like Star Wars, for real. And I looked at a photograph of a pilot in a cockpit, with another plane right above him. “Well, what happened was that I opened a magazine – I think it was called New West, here in LA. So the story goes, it was when you saw a picture of a pilot in a magazine that you came up with the idea for Top Gun. My career has always been about that about entertaining people, giving them something new.” At the same time, it’s hugely enjoyable to be giving audiences something so new and fresh.

Working with someone like Tom, and the whole group of people that he put together, it’s been like going back like going back and seeing an old friend you haven’t seen for a while, enjoying hanging out with them again. Contains episodes 210 - 250.How do you look back on the original now? Obviously that period was an incredible one-two-three for you, of Flashdance, Beverly Hills Cop and Top Gun – what do you remember of that time? And did doing this movie take you right back to it?
