Yep it sucked, Top Gun ripoff....

 

Me too.

 

Hot Shots!

 

Does the mechanic get to paint an F16 on the door of his car now?

 

Those things can easily be rigged (just look at the last Jedi's reviewers reviews). Besides, haven't you ever seen a movie that was so crappy it was amazing. Not to mention the soundtrack kicked ass.

The BFM sequences were bullshit, however.
