Tom Cruise on why he wasn't interested in making a sequel to "Top Gun" (1986), which was thought to be a right-wing film promoting the U.S Navy: "Playboy: 'Born on the Fourth of July' (1989) is also the flip side of 'Top Gun' (1986), which is essentially war by Nintendo game and a paean to blind patriotism. Cruise: OK, some people felt that 'Top Gun' was a right-wing film to promote the Navy. And a lot of kids loved it. But I want the kids to know that that’s not the way war is—that 'Top Gun' was just an amusement park ride, a fun film with a PG-13 rating that was not supposed to be reality. That’s why I didn’t go on and make Top Gun II and III and IV and V. That would have been irresponsible. Playboy: Is 'Born on the Fourth of July' a redemption of 'Top Gun'? Cruise: They are two different things. 'Top Gun' is a joy ride and shouldn’t be looked at beyond that. 'Born' is about real people and real events. 'Top Gun' should be looked at as going on Space Mountain—it’s like a simple fairy tale. Playboy: A lot of boys have gone off to war to that kind of drumbeat. That is the history of war—young, callow kids marching off to a fairy-tale glory as in Top Gun. Cruise: Think of that: I am totally responsible for World War Three [laughs]! Come on. Let’s look at the reality of what I am saying—where my beliefs lie. I didn’t have anything riding on 'Top Gun'. The fact is, I really want people to see 'Born on the Fourth of July'—it’s a movie that had to be made." (Tom Cruise's interview to playboy, 1990 taken from Gizmodo) (He did star in a sequel in 2022 - "Top Gun: Maverick" as we all know) P.S: Happy 64th birthday, Tom Cruise!
