It was already cheesy at that point, but the part where they were down on the ground & just happened to stumble upon an F-14, took that into the air & used it to defeat much newer airframes really took me out of the immersion.
Honestly, if they’d found a ww1 byplane and the copilot had used a bucket to scoop air from the inside after they got hit, I wouldn’t have found it much more cheesy.

I assume you meant “himself” but I am amused by the idea that Tom Cruise’s character nearly kills a single member of the viewing audience, in real life, as part of the movie’s climax for unexplained reasons.

I think they just ended the quote too early while still relaying indirect speech

Ahhh; now that you point it out, I see it.
