    You don’t mean Top Gun, do you? That was made with recruitment money and was rather awesome.

      Aren’t all military movies by necessity funded by the government? They can’t use military equipment like battleships and helicopters and fighter jets without involvement from the military… And usually they insisit on screening & editing the script first to make sure they are portrayed as good people (as opposed to the terrorists they are)

        The “must be portrayed as the good guys” thing hasn’t been the case for a long time. However, I’m sure it would make it a lot harder to get them to give you equipment for your next movie.
