Haven't seen Top Gun, but have seen Macross Plus. Seeing this though, my only reaction to it afterwards could be summed up with a "YES! YES!", M. Bison style. Well done.
Thank you, I'm glad someone noticed. It was hard to find all those proper jet movements to match his hand gestures. It was the biggest challenge in making this video.
Around 1:40, if that isn't a Top Gun moment I don't know what is. All that was needed in Macross was a Goose character saying, "Holy Shit, we're going head to head I can not believe this shit."
Theirs one big HUGE difference... Animation... Which video was drawn, either by computer or hand and which video was actually shot by following the war planes?? There's no comparassion in my opinion, Top guns dogfights were shot live, doesn't matter if they pieced scenes together out of it, it was all real. Macross is really neat, it just doesn't stand a chance in Top Gun's class.
There are actually a lot of differences between the two movies. Even the competition between the two jet fighters in Macross Plus is of a different nature. I simply took something a critic had once said about Macross Plus, and made a video of it.
When it comes down to it, Macross Plus was a much better story with better acting, LOL. I love Top Gun but I have to admit for the roster of talented actors they had, it was the worst performance of their lives.
dude fcking topgun soundtrack is 1 of the best 1s you could ever put with macross.
And if you really do think about it, the VF-1s the first Valks in the series were originally based on the F-14s design, and in the macross zero OVA (takes place before the original Macross series) theres a battle between some UN forces piloting F-14A's vs some Mig-29's and 1 SV-51 Valkarie (if they hadn't had that, they wouldn't have won the fight) its pretty badass to watch
Also another interesting fact which i got from my cousin (a navy pilot who used to fly the F14 when it was still in service) every US squadron the the F-14 flew for (except for experimental squadrons) their squad identification numbers always started with VF-# (which that's the same code setup as the Valkyrie model numbers mostly being VF-#)
Their both good and all to me America we have Top Gun, in Japan their version of Top Gun is Macross Plus. Strange if both movies were set in the same timeline in the real world I would choose the F-14 Tomcat over the YF-19 and the YF-22. Since it was the F-14 that started the whole movie and anime off.
I like the idea of the comparison and the sync between the movie and the animation parts. Loved the part, around minute 4, where the animation guy is twisting his hand and then the jet in the movie manouvers the same way.
The only real difference between the two is that a tomcat can't transform into a robot and defeat an alien raise. Before any one says anything no Starscreem does not count. nice vid
Good thing I wasn`t making a Transformers and Macross Plus comparisson. I think the original Macross series is older than Transformers though. Thanks for watching!
Actually, the mecha designer and director of the Macross franchise, Shoji Kawamori, designed toys for the Diaclone series during the 80s which would later become the Transformers. He also went on to design the Masterpiece version of Starscream for the Takara toy company and also designed the Hybrid Style version of Convoy (aka Optimus Prime).
Great balls of fire this is an epic win!

One of the best mashups I've ever seen. Macross Plus and Top gun was the perfect choice. The stories are somewhat similar.
