Lego Top Gun

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/bEzbim8peGU

And the last tip of the day has as much to do with 8-bit machines as Jeff Bezos does with a moon landing in this century. 👨🏻‍🚀 Sorry!

But if you're still in love with 8-bit boxes today, you probably actively lived through the 80s. And anyone who lived through the 80s is very unlikely to have gotten around the hit movie Top Gun.

And even if martial picture monsters with little content are rather less my personal taste, Top Gun has left a lasting impression, which has driven me personally in the cinema for the second part. 

As a result: even less content, even more visual gadgetry, but entertainment and retro feeling pure. The more surprised I was when I became aware of Augustus Danko aka OnBeatMan and his channel just a few days ago. Augustus rebuilds famous movie trailers in stop-motion technique using only Lego. And the whole thing so good, so bricky and so highly professional, that the results IMO scream for a whole movie.

But see for yourself - his remake of the official Top Gun 2 trailer is just amazing.
