The film's aerial scenes were produced in cooperation with the JASDF, using the Mitsubishi F-15J - the country's variant of the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. Seen by movie critics as a copy of Top Gun, Best Guy was a box-office failure in Japan, earning ¥230 million.[1]
Fresh from his transfer from Nyutabaru Air Base to Chitose Air Base, Lieutenant Hideo "Goku" Kajitani joins the 201st Tactical Air Squadron and participates in the base's three-week fighter training program with the goal of attaining the title of "Best Guy". Despite having his pilot's license revoked three times at Nyutabaru, he has earned the title "Eagle Driver" (イーグル･ドライバー, Īguru Doraibā) due to his natural expertise in piloting the Mitsubishi F-15J. Goku feels animosity towards his trainer Major Nobuaki "Zombie" Yoshinaga, who he feels is responsible for his brother Tetsuo's death in a flight accident years ago. At the same time, he develops a rivalry with Captain Teruichi "Imagine" Nadaka, who dislikes Goku's reckless piloting skills. For the training program, Goku is assigned to the Fox team led by Lt. Colonel Tadayuki "Odyssey" Yamamoto, while Imagine becomes part of the Bear team led by Zombie. During his time at Chitose, Goku befriends Miyuki Mizuno, a video director sent to the base to film a music video for Canadian singer Sheree, but decides to cover the Best Guy program instead.
One day, Goku and Imagine scramble when a couple of SovietTu-16 Badgersenter Japanese airspace. Following a dogfight with the Su-27 Flankers, the duo manages to drive the intruding aircraft away. On their way back to Chitose, Goku suddenly experiences vertigo and loses control of his plane before he ejects and is safely rescued at sea. Because of this, he loses confidence in flying. Zombie visits Goku at his quarters, but Goku's hatred leads to him attacking Zombie before the latter reveals the truth about his brother's death. On that fateful night, Zombie (who used the call sign "Demon") was Tetsuo's radar intercept officer when their F-4EJ Phantom II flew into an electrical storm outside Komatsu Base and Tetsuo blacked out from vertigo; Zombie ejected before their plane crashed. Feeling further demotivated by the truth, Goku leaves for Kyushu to reconcile with an old lover, only to discover that she has moved on with another man. He then travels to Tokyo to meet up with Miyuki, who reveals that her documentary video was cancelled due to a sponsor dropping out of the project. After seeing her emotions, Goku realizes his purpose in life and returns to Chitose.
The final day of training is decided between Goku and Imagine, with Miyuki filming the event. During the fierce mock dogfight, Imagine scores the kill on Goku and is awarded the title of "Best Guy" while Goku takes the runner-up title of "Top Gun" and Second Lieutenant Atsuo "Duck" Nakagawa takes the third place title of "Early Bird". Following the program, Odyssey retires and bids farewell to the 201st Squadron, with Goku and Imagine escorting his plane off the base.
The soundtrack album was released by BMG Victor on October 21, 1990, and features songs performed by Canadian singer Sheree, who also makes an appearance in the beginning of the film.[7]
