China... Ahhh I got nothing.

 

I wonder how many of the Chinese public has actually seen the Top Gun to even realize that the clips were fake :L

Hah. Given how USA! USA! that movie is, hardly enough.

I know. I hate those kinds of movies. The kind of shit that came out during the last few years of Cold War is abysmal. I can't believe the amount of American propaganda carries through the movies, James Bond in particular, the villain was always, directly or indirectly a fucking communist Russian. If he wasn't Russian his main henchman was in some war or the other a communist.

Yeah, and while it pisses me off most of the time (I'm Russian), I understand that the filmmakers had no good alternative back then. Russian cinematogrophy is far less action based, but it had its share of American critique. Not so much today.

Lol I lived in Russia too, so that's the reason it annoys me too. I also did the Cold War in detail, it's not like Americans were any better. Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea etc. Instigating wars all over the place. And both superpowers undermining each other in their respective wars. Human nature can be so pathetic sometimes. Out of Russian cinematorgrophy all I remember are a ton of Afghanistan related movies and Brother/Brother 2. Epic films.
