Top Gun on ITV...

Anyone watching this, picture quality looks like a dodgy pirate VHS video copy!! Cant believe they can broadcast stuff that bad these days

even the missus said somethings wrong with the TV!!

Aye, noticed it was pretty poor.

I'll never be able to enjoy the volleyball scene now!

It's on Blu-Ray if you really must.

However last time I watched the film, it seems so cheesy and winceworthy in retrospect.

IMHO Flight of the Intruder was a much better movie about naval aviation albeit set a few years earlier. (I believe that's coming out on Blu-ray later this year).

Just turned the TV on to see what you meant and I agree, it's terrible. Looks like ITV got their original roll out of storage... :eek:

That just shows how good the Blu Ray transfer is that I got :cool:

ooooooo take my breath awayyyyyyy.

God this film is so cheesy. Oh and yeah it looks horrendous!

Is it just me that has noticed ITV's broadcasting quality has generally gotten really really bad recently. Their football on last weekend was almost unwatchable it was that bad!

This film is massively overrated.

Azza · 29 Jan 2010 at 23:58

Ever since they ****ed up the Everton - Liverpool game they have been slowly getting worse I think, cutting from ads back to programs and voice overs being cut off to general program quality.

LOL. I'm watching it on a 20 year old Toshiba 14", it looks fine to me.

It's still well cheesy tho.

Maybe now but it was a huge box office hit when it came out.

Well done Sherlock

Scythe · 30 Jan 2010 at 00:22

I noticed the quality was awful too! Still watching it now, classic movie

ChroniC · 30 Jan 2010 at 00:28

You know I always cause a lot of controversy when I say this, but I've seen 100's and 100's of films, and I always turn this one off, regardless of the amount of people tell me its great, because I can't help cringing constantly, because of the script the music and the massively overexposed filming. Its terrible.
