Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is Rooster's real name?

Answer: Bradley Bradshaw

Miles Teller plays Lt. Bradley Bradshaw. His call sign Rooster is a bird related call sign - perhaps a nod to his father's call sign Goose.

2. In the movie, what is the name of Pete Mitchell's love interest played actress by Jennifer Connelly?

Answer: Penny Benjamin

Penny is mentioned in the original "Top Gun" but never appears on screen until "Top Gun: Maverick".

She is the Admiral's daughter that Maverick had an incident with. They rekindled their love in this movie.

3. Which name is *NOT* a call sign in "Top Gun: Maverick"?

Answer: Wolfman

Wolfman is played by Barry Tubb in the original "Top Gun" movie. This character does not appear in the sequel. Phoenix is played by Monica Barbaro. Coyote is played by Greg Tarzan Davis. Fritz is played by Manny Jacinto. These characters all go through the training and only Phoenix is selected for the mission out of these three.

4. What would have happened if Maverick and his team did not complete the attack run in the set time limit of 2 minutes and 30 seconds?

Answer: The enemy would have intercepted them.

The entire plot of the movie is to complete the mission in 2 minutes and 30 seconds or else the enemy would be able to intercept them and shoot them down. Even though they destroyed the target, Maverick was shot down. He made this sacrifice to save Rooster who was targeted by the enemy's missiles.

5. Who are the pilots selected for the attack on enemy territory?

Answer: Maverick, Phoenix, Rooster, and Payback

Maverick selected the pilots for the mission according to their skills, technique, and physical fitness, as stated in the movie. The pilots went through intense training for this mission. They were the best of the best.

6. What is the rank held by Pete "Maverick" Mitchell in this movie?

Answer: Captain

Maverick's insubordination and "fly by the seat of his pants" attitude, prevent him from being promoted. He repeatedly breaks rules and disregards authority by buzzing the tower. He also has a passion for flying and wants to stay in the cockpit.

7. What's the last thing that Iceman says to Maverick?

Answer: "Who's the better pilot? You or me?"

This is the last scene that Val Kilmer filmed in a movie before his death. Iceman and Maverick had the classic rivalry between the top two pilots in the original "Top Gun". Who was the better pilot? That is open for debate for true fans.

8. What song does Hangman play on the jukebox at the bar to make fun of Rooster?

Answer: "Slow Ride" - Foghat

He chooses "Slow Ride" to point out how cautious Rooster tends to fly. Rooster holds back throughout the entire training period and does not unleash his full potential until the end of the movie.

Even on the mission he is falling behind until he says, "Talk to me dad" - a call back to Maverick's "Talk to me Goose".

9. What type of motorcycle does Maverick ride in the movie?

Answer: Kawasaki Ninja H2 carbon

There is a cameo appearance of his old Kawasaki GP2900R from the original "Top Gun", which was the first Kawasaki to bear the Ninja name. Not only is Maverick a thrill seeker while flying he also has the need for speed on the ground.

10. What aircraft does Maverick and Rooster use to escape enemy territory after they are shot down?

Answer: F-14 Tomcat

This is the same jet that Maverick used in the original "Top Gun". The iconic jet makes a comeback for one of the most impressive scenes of the entire movie! Using his superior skills as a pilot Maverick is able to take down two next Gen enemy jets in a truly epic conclusion to the movie.
