...typical of the shrewd marketing methods Mancuso had championed at Paramount even before he took over as chairman. Top Gun was originally scheduled to open in late May, at the same time as Warner's Sylvester Stallone shoot-'em-up Cobra and MGM's horror flick Poltergeist II.

Still, this film is such a warm fuzzy bunny compared to the good but aggressive Blue Velvets of the season, it's worth seeing by way of contrast. Definitely a good flick to see with a date. Definitely a flick that'll make you feel okay about life after it's over. Definitely not a foolish choice...

...into the mainstream as writer and director of The Terminator, and it is this picture that film historians and sociologists of the future will watch over and over again, their as-yet-unborn eyes slowly glazing over. It might have been another film altogether, just another cheap sci-fi flick gathering lichen on the UHF channels. But at one point in the pre-production stage Cameron approached Arnold Schwarzenegger--to play the hero...
