Chinese CCTV Broadcaster Uses Top Gun Footage In Military Drill VIDEO

[3p1cBlu3]

LMAO

[multiHappyHacker]

Lulz,

I suppose Iran's drone is real too.

I bet if you get a high enough res. video you can see the pop-rivets in it.

[ervin920]

:) soon you will go homeless, and soon you will die in the cold american. while you bitch, china still grows richer. enjoy dying scums

[tostedcheeseman]

@ervin920 enjoy your paper tiger and lack of blue water navy

[JapanIncorporated]

the bootleg asian strikes again.

[mugfordd]

China...what a joke...

[kwmkc13]

I am Chinese, so I can truly say, Chinese are so cheap we wouldn't want to waste money on buying dummy targets just to be blown up. Now spending money on a truck load of fireworks is a different matter.

[bitofbeer]

@kwmkc13 bet ur quality at computer games though

[Tommy1977777]

everyone all at once, say it with me: "OMG CHINA IS GOING TO BE MORE POWERFUL THAN THE U.S.!" not if they keep using "Top Gun" footage in military recruitment.

[TheRobotHell]

@ono108

No

[beck851217]

@ono108 south park ? Hello Eric! Goodbye Eric!

[littleneddygoestowar]

The sad fact is probably not one person in China will see these comments, or know that what they are seeing is a clip from Top Gun. The media is too strictly controlled and China could care less what others think of them, as long as it gives the proper illusion to its citizens.

[davidls11]

Just like FOX news.

[KoolJayJ]

@littleneddygoestowar actually.... immediately after this was shown on tv, many chinese netizens made forum posts about how this was taken straight from the movie Top Gun.......... you obviously do not know shit about the current situation in china, your mind is still stuck in the whole Mao Zedong communist era.



[Tedericoe]

Revvin' up your engine Listen to her howlin' roar Metal under tension Beggin' you to touch and go Highway to the Danger Zone Ride into the Danger Zone Headin' into twilight Spreadin' out her wings tonight She got you jumpin' off the deck And shovin' into overdrive

[theendoftheinterwebs]

China once again shows that anything cool they do is "borrowed". Almost makes you want to pre-emptively nuke them, i mean send the MPAA after them (same thing??)

If you want to read more, check out The End Of The Interwebs blog!

[wzg8s7]

What has CHINA not stolen, faked?

[alwaysbehumble]

Never could you find any country as farcically pathetic as Chinkyland.

China is the ONE in the Universe

Are Chinks anthropologically ill-suited to make anything that is Not Fake or Copied?????

Shame those chinky slanted-eye dumb primates have the impudence to call themselves humans

[Lordofthenipplerings]

I guess they just wanted to take a shot of a plane exploding. It just so happens that the shot is of an american f5 tiger being shot down. Still doesnt change the fact that there are millions of shots with Chinese air to air missiles being used to shoot down aircrafts on CCTV7. Just do some research and you can find all kinds of air to air missiles from the PL series.

[Lordofthenipplerings]

Laughable claim. Its the largest exporter in the world. Everything consumers own is made in China.

[zzaggachonsa]

hahaha...fake foods, fake cars, fake clothings, fake broadcasting from a national televison?! wow...i guess pretty much everything in China is fake...

[Lordofthenipplerings]

If you watched the entire footage, not the current edited one. You would see a real live footage of an air craft being shot down by a real live missile. It would be absurd to to think China doesnt have real air to air missiles that have been tested on real targets by simply watching this video. Every stupid country fires missiles at aircrafts that deploys chaffs and flares.

[Coolins335]

@Lordofthenipplerings, then why did they steal the footage?

[Lordofthenipplerings]

It hardly means anything. It shows a J10 blowing up an american f5 tiger that was used in top gun that was used to imitate a mig.

[taekarkung]

@Lordofthenipplerings It means that the PLA hesitate to waste any old fighter to be dummy target for the J-10. Instead, they use F-5. It makes me wonder whether the PLA had tested their air to air weapon effectiveness at all as they can't even put up a single footage of at least a flying object being hit by missile. Americans tested their AIM-M/X and Aim-120A/B/C on drones that spoofed flares and chaffs while maneuvering. You watch Lord of the G-Strings?

[abc9527abc]

CCAV...

[Michael1983Z]

Well it is not a such shame. Cos CCTV is just the dog of CCP. We are happy to see it bumped ugly.....

[greatmatch01]

As a Chinese, I am happy to see CCTV (China Central Television) has been BUSTED again.

Because CCTV cheat us too much.

In China, if we say somebody is CCTV, that means he cheat the other person all the time.

[Prizm4]

Serious, finding an honest native chinese person is like looking for a needle in a haystack. They continuously prove themselves as liars and full of deceit. You can bet they'll lie to the teeth before they admit they used Top Gun footage.

[Antikryst]

@Prizm4 prejudice much?

[Prizm4]

@Antikryst sometimes you gotta call it like you see it.

[taekarkung]

@Prizm4 Not really, there are still many honest Chinese. Finding them could be difficult as they prepare to stay low profile. I can tell you that the good are real good whereas the bad are the worst of the worst that care nothing but money and themselves. Those in neutral, they are just don't care and don't want to know. Not the Chinese but those related to CCP regime are denying that they use the TopGun footage. Don't drag the people into the conflict, just target CCP members and their families

[Aresholewins]

PRC=People's Republic of Cheating!! 

[aidious]

What, so you all reckon Top Gun actually BLEW UP A PLANE ? No. They didn't. They will have used some stock footage that is easily accessable to international news organisations. It is a mere coincidence that the piece of footage chosen to illustrate the report was also used by the makers of Top Gun

[yarafalt]

@aidious

You really must learn how Hollywood movies are made. Stop trying to defend the PRC with blind eyes, they fucked that one, it is a funny event and that's that.

[BiReal]

This is hilarious, CCP taking the highway to the dangerzone.

Respect to the one who noticed this one second frame haha some people really pay attention.

[USAAIRPOWER]

The PLAAF is dumb and CCTV news media is even dumber. China using one of US famous movie from 80's which Top Gun. They use part of F-14 shooting down Mig-28 (F-5) by missiles. God China is totally stupid and propaganda shits just like they claim they shot down F-22 over China.

COMMUNIST PIECES OF SHITS!

[barryh20]

AHHH HAHHA PLA PHAIL!

[brantk81]

What a surprise, this coming from a country that makes fake eggs and rubber meat.

[dutchfett]

More proof of inferior stuff made in china.

[gundamWWW]

Why not just show people in China the real film TOP GUN!

It was a good film, before Tom Cruise became a little over the top~~~

[TheStormchaser1]

YES!!! Tom Cruise is not just a Closeted Gay acting like he is Straight. He defected to China and is Commie Red too. Commie Red Scientologists are Gay Gay Gay.

[KimInLosAngeles]

I just watched CNN news report on this.

Chinese shamelessly copied Mickey Mouse, Sponge Bob, & other American cartoon characters & even Disneyland.

Chinese audaciously lie to get what they want.

Because they don't want Korean TV shows & music getting popular among common people in China,

they started to spread lies (such as: Korean professors are claiming that Chinese characters & Chinese medicine were created by Koreans) to rile up Chinese & increase anti-Korean sentiment.

This is China.

[SpatialVortex]

Guess what? During Olympics, Chinese "supposedly" brought out all different ethnic Chinese "kids" to show UNITY, in fact, all of them were HAN CHINESE.

Chinese faked age/passports at the Olympics as well, sending underage girls.

LOL, FAIL!

[SpatialVortex]

HAHA! CHINESE! COPYCATS OF THE WORLD. PLAGIARISM GALORE!

[Homer717]

BUSTED ;)

[12stringsforme]

China not fail!!! China shame all of you!! Silence! Superior Chinese government own all you, bow to us! Not lose face!

[MrPicusb]

Quick, everybody delete your youtube comments lest chinese media steal them too.

[dysonlu]

Big freaking deal!

You gotta use footage from somewhere if you wanna show a spectacular jet fighter explosion. It's not like videos of real occurrences are widely available.

Looks like Americans are now trying to find any little weak excuses to laugh at an adversary that is growing stronger by the minute. I guess laughing is one way to dispel your fears.

[marianopicco]

@dysonlu Funny you say that, cos that's no jet exploding but a simple scale model with some explosives inside. It's not a hugely expensive effect and the chinese television could very well afford to reproduce it if they wished to, instead, they use this footage from a very well known Hollywood movie and try to fool people therefore insulting their intelligence.

The worst part is: chinese people will probably never know about this, cos of censorship.

[SpatialVortex]

@dysonlu

Stronger? Maybe that video of their fighter jet was fake too? Maybe that jet is a just a big cardboard box. Who knows.

[wizywizkid]

hahahaha!!!

that was pathetic !

[trident1028]

Wow! that's just so low...I'm so sorry for the Chinese....this puts the stealth jets craze down the drain. I'm pretty sure now they're just toys photoshopped... lol.

[GGXXD1]

China is pathetic.

[dimkon77]

this took my breath away

[USAAIRPOWER]

It would be dumb if CCTV use one of US video like:

-Transformer or Transformer Revenge of the Fallen (F-22 Raptor, F-16C/D, & other)

-Iron Man (2009) Iron Man vs 2 F-22 Raptor

-Green Lantern-F-35

-Iron Eagle & Iron Eagle 2

China is full of propaganda.

They also claim they shot down F-22 over China. Think Again. watch?v=FkzBBrTfJqo

[USAAIRPOWER]

Top Gun - Was the famous movie of Air Combat.

[USAAIRPOWER]

Is very dumb for CCTV show video clip of Mig-28 (F-5) which they got it from Top Gun.

China news media is very stupid.

[TheCrazyFinn]

I hope Goose didn't die this time... =(

[supertoshios]

This is China quality (:-)

[eksistentialisti]

Iltalehti,,,, oikeesti mitä paskaa!!!

[ThePebuss]

@eksistentialisti iltasanomat ketä vittu kiinnostaa :)

[Gondonr]

Chinese Govt/media always doing stupid shit like this.

[oliversaccount]

Congratulations CCTV, finally you deliver a piece of true news.

By the way, I got the news from BBC online.

[GodBlessYou2008]

guys, relax. China is going to be collapsed until 2020.

[6Panzer6Christ6]

waait for iit... FAKE AND GAY

[IiILightRIiI]

lmao...that's so stupid

[intheMixup]

chinese people are the masters of copy! they are the kings of copy all around the world. they got factories and slave labor and ready to recreate anything you invent! boooooooo CHINA!

[HoratioFong]

CCTV = China Central Television? No. CCTV = Copy Cat Television!

[sakkolihis]

Top Gun ei ole homoleffa. Jumalauta!

[530dynasty1]

I saw this on a Starcraft progaming website. LOLOL so hilarious.

[paomadei]

Maybe the pilfered clip has a much deeper meaning that only Top Gun could subtly convey to the masses and leadership. The destruction of the F-5 used in the movie as a MIG could be a veiled threat against the Taiwanese and their F-5s. Perhaps the other deeper meaning is that the destruction of the communist plane represents coming government reforms with the abolition of the single party rule.

[wonphi]

instead of just firing a test missile into boring old targets, why not add a nice explosion using film clips?....I mean, people do that all the time when making youtube videos? Maybe the editor just wanted to be creative?

Fine to me. lol

[61julieb]

I agree that the volleyball scene should have been used instead!

[94jonathang]

SHACK ON THE TARGET!!!!!!

But seriously, why the Chinese would use Top Gun Footage?

next thing we know:

"We have created a new space station."

*Shows the Death Star firing upon Aldeeran*

[Coolins335]

Goddamn traitor Tom Cruise! How could he defect like this?

[SovietTelevision]

They should have used the volleyball scene instead.

[dekkkaimara]

no body wana end up like Iraqi right?

so when you American will claim WMD in China?

[BlackStar250874]

Big deal..... One small shot. It wasn't entire scenes or anything. Still, a bit funny that they didn't had any older training videos of blowing apart drone aircraft.

A bit embarrassing to be true. . . Maybe they meant it to be a joke.

[nyskillshooter]

theyre mad because we took jackie chan away, so now they have to take tom cruise

[jaywalker71]

It's ok, the Russians did the same with a clip from Titanic. :D

[TheWOWXDWOW]

Chines people, you fail

[apriliacs]

guys guys, why they would destroy another jet

this is all meant to be joke in first place

[TheTortle22]

@apriliacs

I seriously doubt the Chinese government intended for this to be a joke. They were just bringing their military "might" to the center of attention. It was all just propaganda. With their recent rise as a world power, they were merely trying to flex the ole military muscle. FAIL!

[KimmoKuopio]

ö

thats a lot cheaper than actually built a plane

[ktorn]

in software development we call it 'reusability'.

[SirRetku]

The Chinese used Top Gun footage cause they didnt want to kill a pilot in this presentation. Its understandable.

[iphonehacks0r]

Maybe Top Gun clip was from future when chinese people said that they invented time machine?

[206ernesto]

Really!

It doesn't surprise me, China is well known for faking EVERYTHING.

[miami2pr]

he he he....China....shame on you...yellow wimpis!!

[thommcg1980]

If you listen carefully to the CCTV footage you can hear "Playing With The Boys" in the background ;O

[IAdryan]

Maybe they used some demo clip from the video software editor :)

[niall2910]

CCTV claim it's a mere coincidence that the two jets look the same .

Lucky the missile didn't break down or shoot down the Chinese jet !

[OIFEagle]

Unbereavaburr!

[colashni]

at 0:26: Pilot needs a new pair of 'made in China' gloves

[louthleviathan]

could be worse, they could have flown a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong

[kaia129]

lol fu**in Chink shame on you

[jasccb]

heard they are the best copier.

[PopArtPalDotCom]

Wow this is hilarious! However this must be the doings of some junior news producer behind the scenes who ran out of interesting footage. So it would not be fair to blame the whole CCTV or China for this. Just giving my 2 cents worth :)

[dashrirprock]

Why the fuck would China do an exercise where they blow up an in-flight fighter jet with a missile? Perhaps the only thing more stupid than blowing up a functional fighter jet is pretending to blow one up. And the only way you can top yourself there is using footage from what's probably the most watched dog-fight movie of all time.

[taipan185]

HAHAHA china yet again proving to the world they are the kings of lying, cheating and stealing. These kinds of things you would think would be humiliating enough to ensure they China would at least make an effort to play straight but they just keep getting busted being totally dishonest. They should be embarrassed as hell.

[nacazo]

This is a conspiracy from the Dalai Lama

[regulusinmyhand]

Its amazing how someone caught that. Some people must watch Top Gun religously, good job on exposing them as liars!

[marlowe2219]

This is awesome! Quality explosion for a tiny fraction of the cost...this is China being China!!

[wild14me]

Busted!

[brucecny]

Im so shocked that China would copy something or lie in a newscast. NOT!

[akirafactor]

Next the PLA will claim they own Mars because they defeated the Martian Air Force by showing clips from Independence Day.

Never, ever trust the Chinese.

[Juippo123]

@akirafactor Your comment was quoted on a finnish news story about this ^^

[Nered88]

@akirafactor Those were not Martians :p But yeah, screw the Chinese

[ILD3O]

@akirafactor Your comment made to Finnish magazines online news (Y)

[Easyandy100]

@akirafactor Some people might say never, ever trust the Americans...

[MrQwertysystem]

@akirafactor Nice your comment got on finnish newspapers site =D

[LancerFIN]

@akirafactor Well the Russians used clip from Titanic.

[greatmatch01]

@akirafactor

As a Chinese, I am happy to see CCTV (China Central Television) has been BUSTED again.

Because CCTV cheat us too much.

In China, if we say somebody is CCTV, that means he cheat the other person all the time.

Most chinese was happy to see one of huge building of CCTV has been burned.

Well CCTV is the media of China gov. It is the voice of China gov. But NOT US, NOT ALL THE CHINESE!

We hate CCTV too. We don't trust CCTV too. but that not means all the Chinese can not be trusted.

[taekarkung]

@greatmatch01 CCTV and all other media in China, they need to get CCP enforcers to check each and every broadcast before they could release. Same goes to newspapers. Else, it would face hefty fine and punishment. As always, leaders who have much thing to hide and done lots of bad things will not love open media. They don't even dare to walk on the street without armed security escorts. CCTV building is made of higher quality materials, it won't get burn easily compared to surrounding buildings.

[Michael1983Z]

@akirafactor well that is our goverment not Chinese people.Although a lot of Chinese are fooled by goverment enoughly serious. Still people are people, goverment is goverment

[fautube]

A few days ago there was an article by a Chinese woman on Chinese mothers' superiority, compared to Western values. Guess she doesn't feel that superior now does she

[NorthForkFisherman]

The CCTV representative couldn't comment because he's now an "organ donor". Don't forget to bill the family! Welcome to the interconnected world. A billion eyes watching at any one time and an eternal memory. Funny stuff. Thanks for the post.
