==== Locations ==== The San Diego restaurant and bar [[Kansas City Barbeque]] served as a filming location for two scenes shot in July 1985. The first scene features Goose and Maverick singing "[[Great Balls of Fire]]" while seated at the piano. The final scene, where "[[You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin']]{{-"}} can be heard on the restaurant's [[Wurlitzer]] jukebox, was also filmed at the restaurant. Both scenes were filmed consecutively. After the release of the movie, the restaurant went on to collect a significant amount of memorabilia from the motion picture until a kitchen fire on June 26, 2008, destroyed much of the restaurant. Some memorabilia and props, including the original piano used in the film, survived the fire, and the restaurant re-opened in November 2008.<ref name="KFMBTV">{{cite web |title=Kansas City BBQ Reopens for First Time Since Fire |url=http://www.sandiego.com/option,com_sdca/task,ln/target,story-147588-html/ |accessdate=2009-02-11 |publisher=KFMBTV}}</ref> In 1985, Paramount Pictures rented the Graves House, now commonly called the [[Top Gun House|''Top Gun'' House]], a historic San Diego [[Folk Victorian]]/[[Queen Anne style architecture in the United States|Queen Anne]] cottage located at 102 North Pacific Street, and used it as the home for Charlotte 'Charlie' Blackwood.<ref>{{Cite web |title="Top Gun" House |url=https://oceansidehistoricalsociety.org/history-of-oceanside/top-gun-house/ |access-date=2022-06-12 |website=Oceanside Historical Society |language=en-US}}</ref> Charlie's backyard scenes were filmed at another house located at 112 First Street (Seagaze Drive) that was behind The Graves House.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hawthorne |first=K. |date=2022-06-13 |title=History of the "Top Gun" House |url=https://historiesandmysteries.blog/2022/06/13/history-of-the-top-gun-house/ |access-date=2022-06-25 |website=Histories and Mysteries |language=en}}</ref> In May 2020, The Graves House was relocated and later renovated into a pie shop called High Pie located at 250 North Pacific Street.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-05-19 |title=The 'Top Gun' House Is Now a Stylish Restaurant—See Inside |url=https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/the-top-gun-house-is-now-a-stylish-restaurant-see-inside |access-date=2022-06-12 |website=Architectural Digest |language=en-US}}</ref>
