Chinese TV Station Tried Passing Off Top Gun Footage As Training Exercises
from the now-when-will-the-infringement-suit-hit? dept
Via Gizmodo we learn of the hilarious claim that China Central Television's news broadcast recently showed some imagery purported to show Chinese military training exercises. The only problem is that some folks recognized the footage as coming from the Hollywood movie Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise. You can see the screenshots below, comparing the CCTV news footage (on the left) with the identical frame captures from Top Gun:

Of course, I can only assume that China Central Television did not have a license to show Top Gun on TV. What are the chances that someone in Hollywood decides to sue?


Can't believe I am the first to post this lol...

To be fair, Top Gun was a U.S. recruiting tool when it came out back in the 80s.

This is, indeed, true, Coro. My snide side wonders whether this was simply lost in translation. "Training video" instead of "training footage." Maybe they show it as an instructional video. ;)
