The flying scenes are supposed to be very good, (bullshit plot points notwithstanding), so will go watch it for those.

Nope. I would think Eastenders would be more entertaining. First one was shit so not looking good for the 2nd.

Haven’t seen the first so don’t see the point in going to see this.

Tarantino does a good bit on how Top Gear is Tom Cruise’s character battle with his homosexuality, but haven’t not seen the folk- it was tricky to relate all of it. ( well, any of it)

Yeah, definitely - if only for old times' sake.

When the first one came out a mate at school was dead set on joining the RAF after seeing it. He gave up on the idea when I pointed out that the RAF don't let you paint your helmet...

I did wonder if their names/call signs were a real thing or Hollywood BS. Turns out it's half true, you do pick up a callsign but they've generally piss takes. One guy called Holmes got "Mobile" and another got "Taco" cause his name is Bell. Apparently anyone called Campbell is automatically "Soup" :lol:.

It'll be cheesy, unrealistic, childish nonsense with a stupid plot and cringe-inducing script.

Going on Thursday hopefully.

He actually only did two tracks on the original... and they're reusing one of them it seems.

I rarely fancy seeing any films at the cinema but I'm well up for this. Most reviews seem great, the only bad one I found was in the Guardian complaining it wasn't gay enough and they don't have a woman in charge this time.

I saw the original at the cinema, it was pretty dire, don't think I'll bother wasting my time seeing this one.
