director Joseph Kosinski explains why the sequel's opening sequence is identical to the first. The first Top Gun was released in 1986, and it helped tom Cruise and director Tony Scott establish their careers. The film's legendary music, which included Harold Faltermeyer's tune for the Top Gun theme, has remained a distinguishing component of the film. Faltermeyer's theme plays over images of F-14 fighter jets taking off from an aircraft carrier before leading into Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone," another song that has become famous with the film.
The opening card, which explained the backdrop of Top Gun as it relates to real life, relayed how the actual school the film is based on was created on march 3rd, 1969 by the US Navy, was another major component of the film's introduction. The school's goal was to educate the art of aerial fighting to the Navy's top 1% of pilots, ensuring that they would be the best fighter pilots in the world. The elite school was originally known as the united states Navy fighter Weapons school, but the pilots nicknamed it Top Gun. The programme is still in use today, however it has been renamed The united states Navy strike fighter Tactics Instructor programme, while it is still known as Top Gun informally.
