You might not remember profanity in this classic whilst watching your made-for-TV version of Top Gun back in the day… but yes. There are close to 100 instances of profanity in Top Gun.
Top Gun is peak ‘80s cinema. Leather jackets. Aviators. Kenny Loggins on repeat. Tom Cruise speeding down a runway like he’s late for a mixtape drop. It’s the kind of movie you remember watching with your older brother, thinking, “One day, I too will high-five someone in slow motion.”
But try revisiting it with your teenager now and suddenly you’re flinching more at the dialogue than the dogfights. That adrenaline-pumping action comes with:
- 92 swear words
- No f-bombs, but a whole lot of other colorful cockpit chatter
Somehow, Top Gun manages to deliver military-grade intensity with a healthy dose of locker-room-level language. You expect danger zones, not linguistic minefields.
The good news? The story holds up. The soundtrack still slaps. And Maverick is still Maverick. You can enjoy the full experience—training montages, bromance, romance, and all—without having to wince every time someone speaks.
With VidAngel, you can filter out the swearing and keep everything else that made this movie legendary. Yes, even that volleyball scene.
Sure, you could try fast-forwarding or riding the volume button like it’s a fighter jet throttle. But that’s like playing “Danger Zone” on a kazoo. Technically possible. Definitely missing the point.
Let VidAngel do the heavy lifting. You decide what stays and what gets skipped, and we’ll handle the rest. No call sign required.
And if you’re still planning to filter manually, we’ve got you covered. We created a full timestamp list of every single profanity so you can go full Maverick with total control.
Happy filtering.
