Maverick was behind Iceman. Suddenly, he goes down, and Goose dies.
a) What happened?
b) What movie is this from?
c) Who directed this movie?
d) Who was the main actor in this movie?
e) What is the name of this guy's most recent movie and when was it released?

Well, by looking at the Title I'm going to assume for b) "Top Gun". But you never know  ... Sameer explained the answers pretty much, or at least a source where you can get them  .

If my memory serve me right, when Maverick went down, he was behind Viper, not Iceman. So, maybe this came from another movie ? ( Hot Shots, Meet the Parents, etc )

No, Mav and Ice were both pursuing Viper, jockeying for the kill. Ice gave up and pulled off, and Mav, behind him, flew through his jet wash, causing an unrecoverable flat spin. (Why yes, I have seen it a few too many times. )

Well, that's kinda my point. Ice pulled off, leaving Mav behind Viper. But hey, maybe Icey or WTF could clarify.

I find that hard to believe. I'm a quitter now too, and not just plumberry? Perhaps I've caused the unrecoverable flat spin on purpose. I like Maverick, but I like 1st place as well. There are no points for 2nd place.

I know all but the 1 about the director, which I can check anytime because I have the DVD at home. I want to see if you know.
BTW, how many posts do you need to rise up a rank? In other words, how much longer will I be stuck with the "newbie" rank?

I think we can safely assume that most ( if not all ) of the members here had seen topgun at one point in their life. I'm quite surprised that Hollywood didn't came out with a sequel yet.

No offense... but not exactly a challenging puzzle and thus you got the response you did... but to answer your questions to your satisfaction...

a) Going through jet wash -> uncontrollable flat spin -> emergency ejection in which Goose gets ejected right into the canopy which would have blown clear in real life... but hey it's Hollywood...
