Do you know Western Top Gun? And Western Maverick?

Another Top Gun

Before the film was released, along with Tom Cruise and his famous pilot school, the title Top Gun referred to Westerns, which was released in 1955. Series B, released by United Artists, starred Sterling Hayden (also seen in Johnny Guitar) and in supporting roles. John Dehner (these guys who came from Brazil) or Rod Taylor (Birds, Churchill in the Big Busters).

The film tells the story of gunsmith Rick Martin (Hayden) who returns home after years of absence to pay his respects at his mother’s grave. The small town vaguely sees his return as Martin is found guilty of triple murder. He said it was for defense, but few here believe in his version. Also, when he claims that Tom Quentin’s gang has been robbed and may soon attack their city, his word is questionable.

Directed by Ray Nazaro, written by Top Gun, written by Steve Fisher (who signs a very good “woman who was almost under lynching”) and a regular contributor to Nazaro’s films: Richard Shyer, a veteran of the profession who is particularly helpful. mummy. For Westerns, which ended at 1pm 13, Top Gun offers a scenario already seen, but dense, devoting time to adding love rivalries, revelations and lots of shooting.

Second Maverick

When Lethal Weapon director finds Mel Gibson, he sparks! Like Top Gun, Maverick is a Westerner, but this time he switched to comedy. As he prepares for the tournament of the century, Maverick, a professional poker player, finds himself penniless, facing the death of a heavy loser named Angel, and threatens the provocations of a young and handsome player, Annabel Blansford, who multiplies. Teased, while stubbornly avoiding his advancement.

Director Richard Donner puts all his talent into the work of the duo Mel Gibson / Jodie Foster, making a dynamic, fun, catchy and engaging film! He takes the final tournament in a tense duel at sunset and during a short scene, even uniting Riggs and Murtau and entrusting Cameo Danny Glover as a passer-by.

Remember that this nag of urgent (rediscovery) was adapted from the Maverick series that aired from 1957 to 1962. James Garner played Brett Maverick there, but in the feature film he played Marshall Zane Cooper. His character name is honored by author Zane Gray and actor Gary Cooper, who specialize in Westerns.
