A film editor made good on his decade-plus promise to ‘eat his own shoe’ if ‘Top Gun 2’ was ever made

Top Gun: Maverick soars into theaters this week, the long-awaited sequel to the 1986 action drama that has been over a decade in the making. But when the sequel was first announced by Paramount in 2010 — before the original director Tony Scott died by suicide, the first of many hurdles that would go on to delay the film — one film buff was so convinced that it would never happen that he tweeted a vow that would come back to haunt him.

Matt Patches, deputy entertainment editor at Polygon, tweeted on Oct. 26, 2010, that he would eat his shoe if the sequel ever materialized into fruition, which he was quickly held to by Mike Ryan, senior entertainment editor at Uproxx.
