San Diego went full-throttle Wednesday when the long-awaited 'Top Gun' sequel premiered aboard the famous USS Midway Museum.
"It was incredible to just be surrounded by the energy of the military. You don't have to do as much pretending when you're around the people you're representing," said Monica Barbara, who plays Pheonix in the movie.
"I'm just amazed at how committed they are at every task," said Charles Parnell who plays Adm. Solomon"Warlock" Bates."For instance, if you are lost on the ship, they don't say, 'Go that way,' they say, 'I'll take you there.'"of the film outside Naval Air Station North Island, and there are sure to be other recognizable locations in the film. San Diego, like the original, plays a starring role.
"Top Gun: Maverick" actors Miles Teller , Monica Barbaro , Jay Ellis and director Joe Kosinski were in San Diego ahead of the movie's premiere at the USS Midway Museum and sat down with NBC 7's Audra Stafford to discuss the city and the military community that inspired the film. San Diego's military community not only makes appearances in the movie but helped train the cast to withstand the same G-forces as real fighter pilots, since many of the stunts were filmed live and without the use of computer graphics.
