I worked on Dante's Peak. We actually did do a test render with early voxels for the pyroclastic clouds. Developed by the late Dr. Ken Musgrave, the voxel test looked awesome. However, still being on 100-200Mhz SGI Indigo2's one frame took over 40 hours to render - in video resolution. So Pat McClung, the VFX supervisor (who you guys should have definitely on the couch), brought out the tried and true air cannons filled with cement and other dense material - to great effect. Unlike Volcano, we actually did some true 3D lava in quite a few shots. I helped developing the look of it. I still have a vast knowledge of all things lava to this day. ;)
90s kid here. And that Volcano scene is without a doubt still burned into my mind. It's always the FIRST thing that pops into my head when I think about magma and lava.
I have a mostly irrational fear of lava because of scenes like that. Lot's of places I'd love to visit (like Hawaii) but probably won't because I'm afraid the ground underneath me will cave in and I'd fall into lava.
You should do an entire episode on the Golden Gate Bridge getting destroyed or damaged in disaster movies. So many examples and it would be cool to see how that trope has evolved over time.
The thing that was burned into my brain was in Dante’s Peak when the old lady has to push the boat in the acid lake and her legs just melt off! Always lovingly referred to as “grannys legs” in our family...
I was a huge fan of both Volcano and Dante's Peak but that granny lake scene hit me FAR worse than subway melting scene. I actually didn't rewatch that movie nearly as much for that reason.

Anyone else have that scene from Dante’s Peak forever burned into your mind... of the grandma pushing the boat to safety in the volcanic hot waters? And the lightning flash that shows her mutilated legs?
It's acid water he said it in the movie, but I still don't understand how Pierce Brosnan's hand didn't melt when he paddled it with his arm covered only with a jacket.
Oh, THAT'S where that's from??? I've always remembered that scene, but I never knew which movie it was from. I think I just kinda told myself it was a fever dream lol
Yeah, how did they show the guy from Volcano but not the grandma? I mean, it didn't seem like she really needed to do that or that it helped, but come on, let's compare apples to apples.
Yeah, I remember a substitute teacher put that movie on in high school once. I still remember that scene where the skinny dippers were boiled alive in the hot springs.
@@timfondiggle2582 True. I say both have their limitations. When you combine the two, it makes VFX awe-inspiring. Like I’m always fascinated by the volcano explosion in Dante’s Peak cause it looks so real even though the scale is so much smaller.
I'd love to see you all do an episode around visual representations of Magic. How different people have tried to express something completely imaginary interacting with a real and tangible world.
I second this. So many movie to choose from as well. Harry Potter to LotR to older 70s and 80s movies like Legend, Clash of the Titans, and Conan the Barbarian. An evolution of magic special effects episode would be great.
@@arforafro5523 Two excellent choices. Doctor Strange with his mostly minimalistic and clean effects (with some sparks added, just for fun), while Warcraft has the very over the top magic effects.
For me, when I think of "Volcano", my brain goes to the 2 scenes in Dante's Peak where people tried to use a thermal vent as a hot spring. One scene is people jumping in, and react to searing pain moments later.(Fun pan down through the water to see the glowing lava boiling the water) 2nd scene is when a brother and sister attempt the same thing, only to see the the pale-bloated aftermath of 2 adults being boiled to death. Saw it when I was 5. I just turned 29. Never gotten that image out of my head.
I GOT A HELL OF A CHALLENGE FOR YOU GUYS. CAN YOU DO SPAWN? THAT HAD SOME OF THE WORST CGI OF ALL TIME. THE END PART WITH ALL THE SPAWNS VERSES THE DEMON IN HELL.
@@elkikex They're not remotely unskippable. You just double tap on your screen. Or use Sponsorblock. If it wasn't for the latter, I probably wouldn't watch much LTT.
They did a really good job setting up that character to have that moment. His story arc was amazing. Easily the best character in the movie even though he dies half way through.
I still get chills from that scene in Volcano when his shoes are melting walking through the subway car and then watching the lava slowly dissolve an entire grown ass man. Takes me right back to my childhood. Legit gave me a couple nightmares as a kid
Freddie, if you are reading this there is a salmon in the movie "The Core" that smashed through a window with a bunch of pigeons. I know it's not a whole scene but the VFX team threw it in for a few frames just to see if anyone was paying attention.
He's so right that volcano scene scarred me for life I stopped the movie there and never resumed it again to this day. Edit: *he just made a pun "burned into mind"
@@rcohensartwork3640 I remember beeing really sad for the guy. and i think that this scene is the reason why i haven't rewatched the movie yet. Its similar with that Stallone Movie where he's in the Holland Tunnel thats collapsed. I hate it when they kill good guys simply to show how dangerous something is.
@@KaySan666 I think the deaths of heroic characters was a big 90s theme at the time. I didnt feel like it was to show how dangerous it was, to me he knew he wouldn't make it and thought the other guys life was more valuable then his own. Its one of those movies I havent watched in along time so I'd have to rewatch it.
@@rcohensartwork3640 i agree i think that was a trend back then, but i do think it was a plot device to to show the dangers that await. To show that no one is safe, no matter how good of a person. Whether thats the nice TV station boss in Independence Day who gets killed on his way to his mother. the traffic cop in that Stalone movie, who demands to be left there because he'd only hold the others back, or this guy who sacrifices himself. These scenes do nothing more than visualize the stakes that at risk. Their death or survival wouldn't change anything in the movie
The biggest bummer about the sinking in lava scene is that, even as a liquid, lava is about 3 times more dense than our water-filled bodies, so you wouldn't slowly sink into it as much as you would splat down on top of it and start to boil.
That's what they said about the Gollum falling into the lava in LotR. The scene would be inverted, Gollum would splat on the surface and catch fire, while the ring would sink.
Here is a nice video of organic matter in volcano ua-cam.com/video/kq7DDk8eLs8/v-deo.html Jumping in a shallow pool of lava would be pretty nasty to watch, nothing so nice as in the movie.
That's an example of reality and movie reality. What it is vs what do you expect to be. Also, it would be less dramatic watching a guy just "splatting down and burning"
The funny part is that you wouldn't sink into it like that. Your body would do something more akin to what bacon or cold water does on a skillet, since the molten rock is more dense than your body. You'd just start to sizzle and slide around on the molten rock and getting some really horrific burns.
Just rewatched REAL STEEL. First of all, an underrated movie over all. But the robots still hold up today. Watching it again recently, I was blown away how seamless everything blends together. I would love you guys taking it apart.
You were not lying about that volcano scene. I'm 29 years old and I regularly think about it when anyone references lava. And the man was praying while carrying the other guy.
man i remember watching this movie once when i was a kid, loving it and never finding it again because i did not see the name, honestly i really did not expect the guy who directed dc movies to be the one who directed this one
You don't have to feel bad for the extra. Before I got into acting, I did plenty of extra work, and let me tell you, I would've loved to be the guy who tells his friends, "I had a death scene". That's the coolest thing an extra could do.
@@JustapErson That would depend. If it's a memorable death scene, I think it's way cooler than surviving and just being another body in a crowd in the background.
Yeah really, obviously people want to survive irl but this is fiction, if you're gonna die for fake go to Valhalla! Be that one extra that people point at and go "whoooooa"
@@BiohazardEXTREME If you die in lava in the background, but you keep your thumb up, and after editing they actually keep it in the movie. Who needs heroes
I have seen both Dante's Peak and Volcano when I was a child back in the 90s and I haven't watched them since the 2000s. Luckily from me that I have both movies on DVD, I might rewatch them this weekend after watching this reacting from you guys.
I would love for y'all to go over the scene in John Wick 3 where he is walking through the glass doors at the end. I have watched that so many times and have no clue how they did that.
Yeah, but Kīlauea is a shield volcano who spits out slow lava flows. Vs the volcanos shown in movies tend to be Stratovolcanos because they make bigger explosions.
Kaze Espada, Hawaiian volcanoes have erupted explosively in the past, but very, very rarely and nowhere near the scale of most stratovolcanoes. Mostly, Kilauea is pretty safe because it’s the most monitored volcano on Earth. If it’s a little stinkier than usual, they don’t let people near the stinky zones. They know what it’s likely to do a few weeks before it happens, including that big rift eruption in 2018. There’s a reason nobody died. Well, also the lava fronts are slow enough you can outrun them by walking. The real danger is getting surrounded or hit by lava bombs, which hurt since they’re still heavy hunks of rock.
A rich dude in Indonesia building theme park on the foot of active volcanoes as I write this. Not one, not two, but on the foot of three active volcanoes.
@@someweeb3650 Well, Indonesia is so vast, as vast as Europe, the theme park is in Java island and the last huge eruption is in Sumatra island, like 2000km away.
I had to watch Dante’s Peak for a geology class in college. It’s such a good movie!!! Some of the stuff in it is actually scientifically accurate (not all of it *cough* the driving on lava scene *cough cough*) but I still freaking love it
Fun fact, the reason 2012 was made (aside from the obvious timeliness of course) was to showcase the crazy new particle and fluid simulation technology that was only then becoming realized. I don't care for the characters or story, but I've spent hours watching those effects shots frame by frame.
The Yellowstone explosion in 2012 was said to be the most accurate depiction of what the eruption would actually look like. It’s not 100% correct but it’s so dope to see that it’s almost accurate and that scary.
If only every human being within a hundred miles wouldn't be pulverized, set on fire, and blinded by Yellowstone's eruption. Science really should be more accommodating to the cinematic aspects of natural disasters! smh
Wishing Wren the best and healthiest healing possible. I hope the accident won’t stop him from making those fantastic Onewheel videos. Get well soon. You’re the reason why I got a Onewheel and it’s devastating to hear that you can’t ride yours.
I just wanna say how awesome y'all are to bring Freddie in some of these episodes. It's been a lil while since I've seen any of the classic RocketJump vids from back then, and seeing him always reminds me of the nostalgia he and you guys brought from being the icons you guys are for UA-cam. Some of us 2010 viewers salute to you 🙌🏾
I feel like this ep had a great level of technical depth while still being super entertaining. I sometimes miss that feeling of revelation in other episodes. I love hearing about all the pitfalls the SFX artists have to dodge. The three guys ripping apart scenes with respect for what was achieved and sympathy for the mistakes was great. Also maybe it was just the breakneck speed they can bounce ideas around cos they are so on the same wavelength. Anyway, awesome episode!
Everytime I see 2012 I am just blown away by what they were able to do with it. Those effects are still better than most movies that have come out since then.
I still remember having a hard time sleeping at night a few times when I watched Dante's Peak as a kid. I had an absolute dread of volcanoes, and my parents told me that there were no volcanoes close enough to us to be able to do anything, but I was a kid, so even knowing that, I was still scared.
Yeah, there's actually lot of great stuff to work with from 2012. I hope it doesn't get relegated to having this one little bit of it just for their volcano episode.
I'd love to see a reaction on Rango! I rewatched this the other night and I can't believe how well it aged, it's still a animated masterpiece to this day despite how old it is
I'm Team Dante. Watching it as a kid I loved the destruction and knowing in my later years that it was miniatures makes me appreciate it more. Though that scene in Volcano still haunts me
Bro they already did that, idk how to copy and paste the link here, but it's the lord of the rings part 1 react video, both of the 2-part'ers are awesome, you're welcome ;)
Watched Dantes Peak for the first time last night and was blown away by the effects! Especially when the truck gets stuck trying to cross the solidifying lava
For the next stuntmen react, you guys need to do scenes from the Princess Bride. More specifically the part when they role down the giant hill to escape from prince humperdinck.
Dante's Peak was filmed in my family's home town, Wallace, ID. We kept freaking out about landmarks and buildings we know. Fun fact: Queenie, the head of the Brooks Hotel (dubbed the Banks for filming) keeps a scrapbook of on-set the filming at the front desk along with a huge Folgers can of the fake ash. It was a BUTTLOAD of super finely shredded newspaper and it was all over town for WEEKS. Word is that Mr. Brosnan was very sweet and humble during his time there. The "town meeting" scene was filmed in the gym where my dad went to high school. Go Miners!
I think one thing that helps with Dante's Peak is how real (or at least as real as a movie can be) made the volcano. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I was always fascinated by them and heard consistently about the Mt. St. Helens eruption, so watching that one always gives me this visceral reaction, kind of like a sinking feeling in my stomach. Those effects are top notch.
You said Mustafar, and you're totally right! But for some reason my brain read it Mordor, and I just nodded along anyway & thought oh yeah that sounds right, there's a volcano in that too! And then I had to go oh wait, hold on. That's not what they said. What. Why brain? Do you do this to me?
I once had a dream that Pierce Brosna came to my birthday. Just to walk in, grab a bottle of whiskey and say "Happy Birthday ya bastard!". Then he walks right out of the room.....never met the man in my life by the way. Indeed, he is a national treasure.
I remember watching Volcano when i was a Kid and I can confirm that scene really burned through my eyes Also yeah that scene in Dantes Peak where the grandma had to push the boat also had me.
This video encouraged me to watch Dante's Peak for the first time in probably 10 years, at least. And yeah, it still looks dope. Probably the weakest effects are with the water/flood sequence, but that's due to the miniature work. Don't think even modern CG would have been terribly better though, my brain still picks up on it. Water is just insane man.
Just rewatched "Dante's Peak" the other day, and commented "wow, they even got the reflections in the car the windows, while rolling down the road looking at the volcano exploding 😳" not bad for 1997, better than most even today 😅
TBH its a pretty even match up with Volacno's lava scene in the "Childhood Trauma" category, weird for them to forget about it when talking about the Volcano scene.
I think they were trying to focus more on the explosions and lava rather than analyzing each movie completely. That being said, oh god, f--- that scene. =(
Freddie you are so right, I grew up in the 90s and that lava scene HAS aaaalways been etched in my mind. I just had no idea till now that I was not alone 😮

Dante's Peak, definitely. Armageddon (never a big fan of Deep Impact). Bug's Life maybe?
Dante's Peak, Armageddon (although Deep Impact is more acurate) and Bug's Life kid here
Now it’s DC or Marvel, it’s the same
Dantes peak haunted me. That hotspring with the bodies and the old lady jumping into the acid water. 😱
Freddie: "You were scared of volcanoes and quicksand, don't even lie"
Dang, that was surprising accurate.
Nah, I'm fine with quick sand. The really nasty stuff is called quick clay. Quick clay is solid untill it's disturbed or stirred up. Then it liquifies in seconds. Search for Rissa landslide 1978 to watch one.
Why do these guys dress so badly?
For me it was just quicksand. I never saw any volcano movies as a kid, but I did see never ending story and jumanji
Volcanos, quicksand, and tsunamis.
That dude when he sacrificed his life like that is the only scene I remember when I watched that movie in school...
I would've grabbed 2 and used them like stepping stones
I want VFX guys to go through all The Day After Tomorrow moments.
Fun fact: at the time only 4 people in the world knew how to properly animate water and they all worked on that film too
@@heisenbergII source?
They need to do a Roland Emmerich special.
@@RusticVisuals it was from one of the early videos from “VFX Artist React” I don’t remember which one but it was when they talked about the chase scene from “We Own The Night”
I'd love to see that too.
Anyone else have that scene from Dante’s Peak forever burned into your mind... of the grandma pushing the boat to safety in the volcanic hot waters? And the lightning flash that shows her mutilated legs?
YES haha I was going to comment the same.
It's acid water he said it in the movie, but I still don't understand how Pierce Brosnan's hand didn't melt when he paddled it with his arm covered only with a jacket.
@@tytoalbasoren9457 he did wince with every stroke so who knows
Her 1 hard twitch when she died still burned into my mind...
Dante’s Peak was a movie that traumatized me as a kid. I cried when the grandma got out of the boat in the acid water and pushed them to safety 😩😩😩
Oh, THAT'S where that's from??? I've always remembered that scene, but I never knew which movie it was from. I think I just kinda told myself it was a fever dream lol
Yeah, how did they show the guy from Volcano but not the grandma? I mean, it didn't seem like she really needed to do that or that it helped, but come on, let's compare apples to apples.
Yeah, I remember a substitute teacher put that movie on in high school once. I still remember that scene where the skinny dippers were boiled alive in the hot springs.
Why do these guys dress so badly?
Yep. Brutal. I still fast-forward/skip that bit sometimes.
The 90’s for a good amount of movies had a good balance of CGI and practical effects which made the movies worth rewatching.
I rewatch 2012 so many times just for the cgi
Practical effects will always seem way more "magical" than cgi
@@timfondiggle2582 True. I say both have their limitations. When you combine the two, it makes VFX awe-inspiring. Like I’m always fascinated by the volcano explosion in Dante’s Peak cause it looks so real even though the scale is so much smaller.
Even after that, VFX didn’t really become the norm until movies like The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 and especially Avatar
I'd love to see you all do an episode around visual representations of Magic. How different people have tried to express something completely imaginary interacting with a real and tangible world.
I second this. So many movie to choose from as well. Harry Potter to LotR to older 70s and 80s movies like Legend, Clash of the Titans, and Conan the Barbarian. An evolution of magic special effects episode would be great.
this is a sick idea
Off the top of my head my favorite are probably Doctor Strange and the Warcraft Movie.
@@arforafro5523 Two excellent choices. Doctor Strange with his mostly minimalistic and clean effects (with some sparks added, just for fun), while Warcraft has the very over the top magic effects.
@@damyr55 Sorcerer's Apprentice springs to mind.
For me, when I think of "Volcano", my brain goes to the 2 scenes in Dante's Peak where people tried to use a thermal vent as a hot spring. One scene is people jumping in, and react to searing pain moments later.(Fun pan down through the water to see the glowing lava boiling the water) 2nd scene is when a brother and sister attempt the same thing, only to see the the pale-bloated aftermath of 2 adults being boiled to death.
Saw it when I was 5. I just turned 29. Never gotten that image out of my head.
When the kid was about to jump in I always wondered what would happen if pierce hadn’t stopped him
Technically, it was an old vent that the entire town had advertised as a hot spring. The bloated couple just got unlucky.
Ngl, calling Jason Isaacs the poor man's Jon Hamm hurt me on a personal level 😂

No they did not insinuate it, they said it outright.

I GOT A HELL OF A CHALLENGE FOR YOU GUYS. CAN YOU DO SPAWN? THAT HAD SOME OF THE WORST CGI OF ALL TIME. THE END PART WITH ALL THE SPAWNS VERSES THE DEMON IN HELL.

That scene from Volcano is literally the first thing that comes to my mind whenever there’s a “worse way to die” conversation.
I feel bad for Jake as I'm sure once he starts talking, that's where the video ends for a lot of us xD
Corridor guys need to get some tips from LTT on making quick unskippable ads. Unless it's their sponsors who are asking for 2 a min ad no one watches.
@@elkikex They're not remotely unskippable. You just double tap on your screen. Or use Sponsorblock.
If it wasn't for the latter, I probably wouldn't watch much LTT.
Dante's Peak is late 90's in a nutshell, you got Sarah Connor and James Bond in a movie about a volcano. I was the exact right age for this.
I really cried when the guy sacrificed himself by jumping in the lava. That took guts.
All for that shot, right?!
They did a really good job setting up that character to have that moment. His story arc was amazing. Easily the best character in the movie even though he dies half way through.
Took guts, and all his other tissues as well.
I still get chills from that scene in Volcano when his shoes are melting walking through the subway car and then watching the lava slowly dissolve an entire grown ass man. Takes me right back to my childhood. Legit gave me a couple nightmares as a kid
"Pierce Brosnan is the hottest thing right now" Freddie isn't just a 90s kid, he still lives in the 90s.
same here^^ I was 7 y’o; at the begining of thr 90’s:)
Have you seen the man, lately? He aged like fine wine
@@gabrielaribeiro6155 good point!
You clearly haven’t been keeping up with THE ARCHITECT
That was my thought exactly every time he opened his mouth, and I love him for it. xD
Death Becomes Her 1992. Won an academy award for best visual effects. Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn.
I really liked that movie!
Freddie, if you are reading this there is a salmon in the movie "The Core" that smashed through a window with a bunch of pigeons. I know it's not a whole scene but the VFX team threw it in for a few frames just to see if anyone was paying attention.
I've always heard it was a bunch of fish that they did it with. Funny either way!
Wait WHAT. I love that movie and seen it a million times but I totally missed that!!! Need to rewatch.
Freddie: Volcanoes are cool. Don't act like volcanoes aren't cool, volcanoes are cool.
Me, an intellectual: Actually, volcanoes are hot
The ones on the gas giants’ moons are pretty cool.
Oh great, now some mockbuster studio is going to make _Coldcano._ Or _Iceruption._
@@ScreamingScallop Coldano: Iceruption, it's got to have that colon in there. And the tagline has to be, "It'll burrrrn you alive!"

He's so right that volcano scene scarred me for life I stopped the movie there and never resumed it again to this day.
Edit: *he just made a pun "burned into mind"
I carried on with the movie as a kid but I Remember seeing that scene and thought it was so realistic and heroic at the time.
@@rcohensartwork3640 Awesome, u have courage back then
@@rcohensartwork3640 I remember beeing really sad for the guy. and i think that this scene is the reason why i haven't rewatched the movie yet. Its similar with that Stallone Movie where he's in the Holland Tunnel thats collapsed. I hate it when they kill good guys simply to show how dangerous something is.
@@KaySan666 I think the deaths of heroic characters was a big 90s theme at the time. I didnt feel like it was to show how dangerous it was, to me he knew he wouldn't make it and thought the other guys life was more valuable then his own. Its one of those movies I havent watched in along time so I'd have to rewatch it.
@@rcohensartwork3640 i agree i think that was a trend back then, but i do think it was a plot device to to show the dangers that await. To show that no one is safe, no matter how good of a person. Whether thats the nice TV station boss in Independence Day who gets killed on his way to his mother. the traffic cop in that Stalone movie, who demands to be left there because he'd only hold the others back, or this guy who sacrifices himself.
These scenes do nothing more than visualize the stakes that at risk. Their death or survival wouldn't change anything in the movie
Imagine being the stunt driver tasked with driving that RV like he was trying to escape a volcano. Damn that must have been fun.
"ok, now you're going to jump it and we're going to put explosives in the back of it."
go watch 1puglife winnebago jump
The visceral scene burned into my mind was the "row row row your boat" grandma melting in the acid lake.
Indeed. I was a Dante's Peak lad myself. That and Twister.
Yes! I had forgotten pretty much everything about this movie but that one scene has stuck with me all these years. That was brutal and disturbing.
YESS 😭
The biggest bummer about the sinking in lava scene is that, even as a liquid, lava is about 3 times more dense than our water-filled bodies, so you wouldn't slowly sink into it as much as you would splat down on top of it and start to boil.
Science is a prick.
That's what they said about the Gollum falling into the lava in LotR. The scene would be inverted, Gollum would splat on the surface and catch fire, while the ring would sink.
Here is a nice video of organic matter in volcano ua-cam.com/video/kq7DDk8eLs8/v-deo.html
Jumping in a shallow pool of lava would be pretty nasty to watch, nothing so nice as in the movie.
He is not sinking, he is melting ;)
That's an example of reality and movie reality. What it is vs what do you expect to be.
Also, it would be less dramatic watching a guy just "splatting down and burning"
Freddy couldn’t be more right! That scene in volcano is just so gnarly! I’m a Dante’s Peak man personally.
Everyone’s talking about the scene from Volcano but let’s talk about the scene in Dante’s Peak with the old lady walking through the lake of acid.
Same here! Can't believe it never got a mention! I'd love to know how the boat dissolving effects were done!
Yes! I didn't even remember what movie it was from, but that scene is still seared in my mind to this day.
The one that got engrained in my mind as a kid is when that rock went through the car onto that girl’s head. I still remember the convulsions of her
Every time I see Freddie on here the nostalgia kicks in. Lots of years of great content.
"This scene is BURNED in the mind of any kid that watched this in the 90s."
This is startlingly accurate.
yeah he just read my mind
The funny part is that you wouldn't sink into it like that. Your body would do something more akin to what bacon or cold water does on a skillet, since the molten rock is more dense than your body. You'd just start to sizzle and slide around on the molten rock and getting some really horrific burns.
oh man thats awful
Just rewatched REAL STEEL. First of all, an underrated movie over all. But the robots still hold up today. Watching it again recently, I was blown away how seamless everything blends together. I would love you guys taking it apart.
You were not lying about that volcano scene. I'm 29 years old and I regularly think about it when anyone references lava. And the man was praying while carrying the other guy.
Dude. Dante's Peak. I'm so glad it's finally getting the recognition it deserves.
“Legend of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole” directed by Zack Snyder, 2010, day 118.
Yes, I remember whatching that film in 3D and it was one of the best films for 3d I've ever seen
Holy fuck I forgot that existed
man i remember watching this movie once when i was a kid, loving it and never finding it again because i did not see the name, honestly i really did not expect the guy who directed dc movies to be the one who directed this one
The movie volcano gave me nightmares as a kid. That scene where they get burned in the underground utility tunnel stays in my brain rent free
Always loved the 90's disaster movies. Twister, Dante's Peak, Volcano, Armageddon, Deep Impact, etc.
Always two there are: a master and an apprentice.
I love deep impact
Independence Day, Daylight, Hard Rain, Titanic
This is why I liked Dante’s Peak. It was all practical effects. This was a big deal when it came out. Hollywood was doing more CGI.
aye, the effort and time they put into those effects during that period :)
You don't have to feel bad for the extra. Before I got into acting, I did plenty of extra work, and let me tell you, I would've loved to be the guy who tells his friends, "I had a death scene". That's the coolest thing an extra could do.
@sehhi vooty what
I think in a disaster movie, surviving would be far cooler than dying.
@@JustapErson That would depend. If it's a memorable death scene, I think it's way cooler than surviving and just being another body in a crowd in the background.
Yeah really, obviously people want to survive irl but this is fiction, if you're gonna die for fake go to Valhalla! Be that one extra that people point at and go "whoooooa"
@@BiohazardEXTREME If you die in lava in the background, but you keep your thumb up, and after editing they actually keep it in the movie.
Who needs heroes
I have seen both Dante's Peak and Volcano when I was a child back in the 90s and I haven't watched them since the 2000s. Luckily from me that I have both movies on DVD, I might rewatch them this weekend after watching this reacting from you guys.
I would love for y'all to go over the scene in John Wick 3 where he is walking through the glass doors at the end. I have watched that so many times and have no clue how they did that.
low-key need a whole episode on crazy reflection tricks
@@queuetwo Great idea!
that would be awesome, reflections in vfx are so mind boggling
Shout-out to Wren for calling that composite helicopter shot from 2012. Niko and Freddie were both saying full CG but Wren totally called it!
Freddy: Look at this idiot who made a theme park in an active volcano
Niko: *remembers his last hawaiian vacation
Yeah, but Kīlauea is a shield volcano who spits out slow lava flows. Vs the volcanos shown in movies tend to be Stratovolcanos because they make bigger explosions.
Kaze Espada, Hawaiian volcanoes have erupted explosively in the past, but very, very rarely and nowhere near the scale of most stratovolcanoes.
Mostly, Kilauea is pretty safe because it’s the most monitored volcano on Earth. If it’s a little stinkier than usual, they don’t let people near the stinky zones. They know what it’s likely to do a few weeks before it happens, including that big rift eruption in 2018. There’s a reason nobody died. Well, also the lava fronts are slow enough you can outrun them by walking. The real danger is getting surrounded or hit by lava bombs, which hurt since they’re still heavy hunks of rock.
A rich dude in Indonesia building theme park on the foot of active volcanoes as I write this. Not one, not two, but on the foot of three active volcanoes.
@@chibatadayoshi278 Didn't a huge erruption just happen in Indonesia?
@@someweeb3650 Well, Indonesia is so vast, as vast as Europe, the theme park is in Java island and the last huge eruption is in Sumatra island, like 2000km away.
I had to watch Dante’s Peak for a geology class in college. It’s such a good movie!!! Some of the stuff in it is actually scientifically accurate (not all of it *cough* the driving on lava scene *cough cough*) but I still freaking love it
Let’s not forget the breathing in ash. That’s always the one thing volcano movies get wrong.
I've been waiting for the boys to check out 2012 stuff again. I've always been impressed by the visual fx in that movie. And nothing else haha.
Yeah. Complete garbage story, bad acting, just bad. Except the cgi.
2012 was an okay movie story-wise, but visually that movie was a goddamn treat. Hats off to the VFX team
Fun fact, the reason 2012 was made (aside from the obvious timeliness of course) was to showcase the crazy new particle and fluid simulation technology that was only then becoming realized. I don't care for the characters or story, but I've spent hours watching those effects shots frame by frame.
The VFX team thanks you!!
2012 is some of the best disaster porn out there.
Thats probably the reason i watched it
@@ceresta1732 I did not know that! That's incredibly cool
The Yellowstone explosion in 2012 was said to be the most accurate depiction of what the eruption would actually look like. It’s not 100% correct but it’s so dope to see that it’s almost accurate and that scary.
If only every human being within a hundred miles wouldn't be pulverized, set on fire, and blinded by Yellowstone's eruption. Science really should be more accommodating to the cinematic aspects of natural disasters! smh
Apparently the explosion in 2012 is about 1/4 of the size of what Yellowstone would erupt at. I think it would be much larger
@@stefjames95 that only makes it that much scarier 😬 Earth is scary

I just wanna say how awesome y'all are to bring Freddie in some of these episodes. It's been a lil while since I've seen any of the classic RocketJump vids from back then, and seeing him always reminds me of the nostalgia he and you guys brought from being the icons you guys are for UA-cam. Some of us 2010 viewers salute to you 🙌🏾
I feel like this ep had a great level of technical depth while still being super entertaining. I sometimes miss that feeling of revelation in other episodes. I love hearing about all the pitfalls the SFX artists have to dodge. The three guys ripping apart scenes with respect for what was achieved and sympathy for the mistakes was great. Also maybe it was just the breakneck speed they can bounce ideas around cos they are so on the same wavelength. Anyway, awesome episode!
Everytime I see 2012 I am just blown away by what they were able to do with it. Those effects are still better than most movies that have come out since then.
I still remember having a hard time sleeping at night a few times when I watched Dante's Peak as a kid. I had an absolute dread of volcanoes, and my parents told me that there were no volcanoes close enough to us to be able to do anything, but I was a kid, so even knowing that, I was still scared.
The scene from 2012 where the rich Russian dad throws his kid into the boat is etched into my mind. I’d be great if you guys watched that one
Yeah, there's actually lot of great stuff to work with from 2012. I hope it doesn't get relegated to having this one little bit of it just for their volcano episode.
Actually, my bad, they already did the city-collapsing-scene in episode 7, but hey, there's still more material to work with.
I'd love to see a reaction on Rango!
I rewatched this the other night and I can't believe how well it aged, it's still a animated masterpiece to this day despite how old it is
I'm Team Dante. Watching it as a kid I loved the destruction and knowing in my later years that it was miniatures makes me appreciate it more. Though that scene in Volcano still haunts me
Agreed
I love that even though their job is to computer animate, they still have a huge appreciation and respect for practical effects!
The clip where Gollum catches a fish in The Lord of The Rings.
They already did it! Check the Lord Of The Rings edition of VFXAR

Watched Dantes Peak for the first time last night and was blown away by the effects! Especially when the truck gets stuck trying to cross the solidifying lava
For the next stuntmen react, you guys need to do scenes from the Princess Bride. More specifically the part when they role down the giant hill to escape from prince humperdinck.
Dante's Peak was filmed in my family's home town, Wallace, ID. We kept freaking out about landmarks and buildings we know. Fun fact: Queenie, the head of the Brooks Hotel (dubbed the Banks for filming) keeps a scrapbook of on-set the filming at the front desk along with a huge Folgers can of the fake ash. It was a BUTTLOAD of super finely shredded newspaper and it was all over town for WEEKS. Word is that Mr. Brosnan was very sweet and humble during his time there. The "town meeting" scene was filmed in the gym where my dad went to high school. Go Miners!
That's so cool!
But seriously, I look forward to these videos every Saturday when I get up!!
I think one thing that helps with Dante's Peak is how real (or at least as real as a movie can be) made the volcano. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I was always fascinated by them and heard consistently about the Mt. St. Helens eruption, so watching that one always gives me this visceral reaction, kind of like a sinking feeling in my stomach. Those effects are top notch.
Lots of love. From Kerala

There is almost nothing that I love more than seeing Freddie on the couch with Niko and Wren. I could watch these guys for HOURS.
The audacity to do a volcano episode and not cover Mustafar
Right!? They used actually volcano footage and practical from minis! Was really hoping for Mustafar
What? How can they do this? It’s outrageous! It’s unfair! To be a volcano episode with no Mustafar.
Egads! The boldness of them to not include the scene from Mustafar!
You said Mustafar, and you're totally right! But for some reason my brain read it Mordor, and I just nodded along anyway & thought oh yeah that sounds right, there's a volcano in that too! And then I had to go oh wait, hold on. That's not what they said. What. Why brain? Do you do this to me?

Also yeah that scene in Dantes Peak where the grandma had to push the boat also had me.
This video encouraged me to watch Dante's Peak for the first time in probably 10 years, at least. And yeah, it still looks dope. Probably the weakest effects are with the water/flood sequence, but that's due to the miniature work. Don't think even modern CG would have been terribly better though, my brain still picks up on it. Water is just insane man.
I came to UA-cam thinking "Corridor crew should upload shortly", well, 1 min ago they did. Nice brain, finally you did something good!

Dante's Peak is not just a good volcano movie, Its a darn good movie.
I'm a Dante's Peak guy, the slow buildup made the eruption really pay off to me
“Mortal Engines” it had more vfx Shots than I’ve ever seen in a movie and it has a rlly cool style
Just rewatched "Dante's Peak" the other day, and commented "wow, they even got the reflections in the car the windows, while rolling down the road looking at the volcano exploding 😳" not bad for 1997, better than most even today 😅
Can't talk about dantes peak without commenting on the acid lake scene
TBH its a pretty even match up with Volacno's lava scene in the "Childhood Trauma" category, weird for them to forget about it when talking about the Volcano scene.
That's the scene burned into my mind.
@@philm5380 yeah thats what i thought he was going to ref in the vid at that point lol
I think they were trying to focus more on the explosions and lava rather than analyzing each movie completely. That being said, oh god, f--- that scene. =(
That scene is the one burned into my mind, but even as a kid I was more of a Dante's Peak fan and had maybe only watched Volcano a couple times.
It's so wild to me watching this while currently dealing with the actual effects of a volcanic eruption (La Soufriere)
Freddie you are so right, I grew up in the 90s and that lava scene HAS aaaalways been etched in my mind. I just had no idea till now that I was not alone 😮
