They face a helluva challenge making number two - there are so many laughable tropes.
Homoerotic beach volleyball, Iceman (who is now a fat b@stard), sunset-lit motorbike rides with Raybans sans helmet...
All I hope for is that instead of utterly ****e back projections like last time, they actually put Cruise in the air in a real SHornet and mount a few cameras on the thing to get some halfway decent airborne footage.
Oh, and FFS - don't try and pass off F-5s or some other type as MiGs this time round!
Surely the stoodio can foot the bill for a few hours with our hero in an F model driver's seat, and conjure up a few CGI J-20s, T-50s or whatever for a good old turnin' burnin' furball?
And no missiles off the rails this time... we all know real fighter pilots only use guns
That's not too much of a documentary expectation to hope for is it???
At least, credit to the man for getting rated rotary wing on the Squirrel, and learning to fly some tricky descending spiral turns with cameras attached in NZ mountains for the latest MI movie.
