China Uses Top Gun Footage to Fake Military Strength

[PlasmaSnake13]

Hahaha seeing this made my night. At least they picked a good movie.

 

[Formica Archonis]

Top Gundam at the amusement park?

 

[Nouw]

pffpt, thats nothing, check out the US navy's test for their rail gun
<youtube=djZFHTa6TfA>

And that made the thread come full circle!

That is so strange, my first reaction was 'Whaaaaaat?'

 

[Alon Shechter]

For some strange reason, I didn't fall from my chair laughing on this, I was kinda indifferent...

 

[darkknight9]

Is anyone surprised? Blowing up planes costs money.

I am, they could be put to death for questioning the Chinese Gov. That guy who stood up in to the tanks in Teniman Square, he could be dead, and it could all be a fake. Its not too far stretched a thought.

Umm... that guy *is* dead. Never heard from again after they hauled him off for doing that.

Snip

POINT IS: I'm just saying, these people could be hauled away too.

 

[Kitteh]

china might as well be posting recruitment posts on 4chan

 

[darkknight9]

Please. The Chinese have been thieving Top Gun from for more than 20 years.

Observe: 1986 Top gun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaPIGm0roeU

Girl chases boy, Take my Breath Away in soundtrack, kiss.

1988 As Tears Go By http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lQx1Sejp8Y

Agreed. No argument here.

This can mean only one thing, America must fight back!

Our newest footage from our army

Spoiler

Otherwise this is just too funny.

 

[Sovereignty]

I actually support the media doing this.

It'd be far more interesting.

 

[Sacman]

Come on China... I would expect this from North Korea but not you...<.<

Edit: also it would be hilarious if they we're sued for Copyright infringement or whatever...

 

[Super Toast]

Copypasta at its finest, people.

 

[Exort]

It is really dumb on CCTV's part. It is the age of Internet. Do they really think they can get away with it?

 

[Zer0Saber]

didn't they fake their space walk too?

 

[thiosk]

Well at least they know how to copy and paste.

I work in the sciences; and believe me, this is the bulk of what they do.

 

[Arkfeller]

This is China we're talking about. Who's surprised?

On a related note, I recall CCTV using music from Chrono Cross and Oblivion in a documentary about ancestral buildings. And that just makes me angry.

 

[Loonerinoes]

Really? This is news? Meh...

It's not like the U.S. military doesn't finance entire movies that glorify its war triumphs to the point of absurdum like Pearl Harbor. So how silly is it really to just skip all that and instead borrow from old-time classics for advertisement instead? If you want to look up silly, try looking at that phenomenon too please. Or feel free to ignore the actual point of this whole thing (glorifying one's military through fictional means) and instead keep on screaming "IP rights have been violated!!! Laaaaaaame!" across the board.

Because lord knows that's what will keep us in the right perspective of why China did this. *sigh*

Somewhere...out there... an obsessive compulsive topgun fan has just had his BEST DAY EVER.

 

[fanklok]

Hey maybe they'll use a scene from Aliens next showing off their new automatic turrets.

Don't be silly they'll use gameplay footage from TF2.
