Top Gun (1986)

Trivia: The Navy only authorized two actual missiles to be fired for the film. Thus a couple of the missile shots are obviously repeated, and they're easy to spot. The rest of the missile shots were done with miniatures. The company responsible for the miniatures did such a good job that an investigation was done by the Navy to see if more than two missiles had been fired.

Top Gun (1986)

Continuity mistake: Maverick is talking to Charlie in the scene where she gives him her address. In the angle from behind him, his right hand is up holding a pencil next to his head. In the reverse shot, his hand is down. No pencil.
