Top Gun’ Sequel Drops Japanese, Taiwanese Flags
from Maverick’s Jacket to Appease China < >
The first trailer for the upcoming sequel to Top Gun has been released, and a whiff of controversy has been detected in the apparent absence of patches representing the flags of Japan and Taiwan which adorned Tom Cruise’s hero character Maverick’s jacket in the 1986 original.
This was interpreted by cynics as a sop to Chinese censors, given that Hollywood cannot afford to have its films blocked from screening in China.
