@coreysfrost Yes indeed we did. 860 knots is too fast for an F/A-18 flying that low through a canyon. This was corrected during the edit to 660, but it is an important piece of information to see & hear the protagonist deliver on camera, and we thought we’d got away with it (until now).

@AladinLeMalin @charletty_ Tom always gives us lots of variety so we can refine and refine the edit until it all flows perfectly. I think we had around 30 line readings from the dailies, then McQ and I reviewed them all carefully and landed on that combination after trying lots of options.

@MrMJSanders @Swoon_Jon @SteveHullfish It was the first sequence I worked on because all the USS Lincoln footage was a pre-shoot. Then we kept updating as new footage came in. I think we locked the opening montage over a year and a half later. Crucial sequence because you have to win the audience over in two minutes.
