There’s a new Top Gun movie coming out. And Maverick is wearing the same leather jacket - only this time it’s Communist Party of China-approved, so the Japanese and Taiwanese flag patches are gone (screenshot on right is from the new trailer)...

"Mystery" solved. China's Tencent Pictures is one of the main producers of Top Gun Maverick:

A film glorifying the U.S. military, bowing to Chinese sensitivities. What a time to be alive.

That’s Chinese flag from 1928-1949 in mainland. And to some extent, it represents “the whole China” in the UN until 1971. It’s kinda misleading to call it Taiwanese flag only given this context.

It would be misleading if the movie was coming out in 1972

Apparently one of the production companies is Tencent Pictures. It's being funded with Chinese money.

As are many Hollywood productions. Chinese are buying out the studios.

It's a movie. Asking questions of a pilot that doesn't exist seems a bit crazy.

Upon further inspection the entire patch is different. In the movie it was his dad's jacket. I wonder if the new patch has some sort of story. Idk. I don't get why China would want Japan removed?

It's really not. They are two different patches from two different cruises. Larger questions is why a USN pilot would have a deployment patch from a cruiser (Galveston)

Is this going to be like the movie “Battleship” where they had to get a bunch of old timers to fight the Aliens?

That's my absolute favorite part of the movies. I think they really were sailors on the ship.

I'm surprised they still kept the American flag. It was China that Hollywood was afraid of offending when they took away the American Flag on Moon in that recent Apollo 11 movie
