Can you upload The Green Mile?? One of the finest movies ever IMO. Thanks of course for this great movie...
traducido al español por favor
Siempre me envían la misma💩
Nothing here!
Frank Langella...master actor....pillar of real Hollywood.
Actually, a real pillar of the greatest Broadway productions, plays, real plays, not moronic melodramatic glycemic musical theater that causes your teeth to rot.
I thought Kevin Spacey was excellent as always.
From my hometown of Bayonne, NJ
Finally this movie is back. Thanks to whoever uploaded this.
A great film. I remember when the scandal was exposed to the public. It exposed the deviousness and duplicity of governments and their secret service organisations. Nothing much has changed I suspect.
Reagan-Bush funded Iran...and Iraq at the same time ! Republicans forcing America into stupid corners has been history since Eisenhower.
Now they’re doing it within their own countries.
In this particular case they knew a super gun will never work. It takes too long to reload barrels wear extremely fast and side charges trigger too soon. Even more so when the barrel is worn.
I was in Sheffield when Forgemasters was surrounded...
Even at the time we heard rumours of the supergun...
The stuff that goes on with our money and under our noses. Unreal.
This is fiction lol
@@walkertongdee , this fiction goes on every day
And the propaganda used to make other countries look like the aggressor. Example...300.000 Japanese civilians, in two split seconds, vapourised. Incinerated. Radiated. Thousands of Japanese babies bursting like popcorn in a microwave. A recorded genocidal act. A fact. And never mentioned again. But, the same country, and it's lapdog, use propaganda to convince most of the world that the Germans were systematically gassing millions. Even though, not one gass chamber was ever found. (The only one built by the Russians After WW2 to give support to the propaganda. And of course their expansion into Europe.) To go in to more detail would take a couple of years to explain...That is how well propaganda protects the true villains...Propaganda spaghetti. Who would even consider trying to untangle the untangable? Only the insulted free thinkers of truth. America. England...There's not enough soap powder or detergents ever made or to be made could wash away the blood they have spilt in the name of..."We're the good guys" When they are, in fact, expansionist. Invaders. Empires. The "Third Reich" is gone forever, but the - Fourth Reich - is going strong. Should you wish to find out where they operate... You'll find them between Canada and South America. If you get lost...Write to...JULIAN ASSANGE. He'll point you in the right direction. Believe nothing your told...Even by that person in the mirror. Keep an open mind. Work hard on the small insignificant details, and sooner or later, you'll find their significance to be paramount.
What isn't fiction, is the aerodynamic talents of Jerry Bull. He didn't want to build weapons. The CIA told him he could earn the money to build his dream to shoot satellites into space by doing this. It cost him his life.
@@here_for_the yes!
Gosh...did I ever have a crush of Frank Langella when he played Dracula! Deary me. 🤣
Why,you want bit?😂
me too, the sexiest Dracula ever.
Fangs ain't what they used to be , but hey fancy going out for a stake ?
Bull was too smart for his own good. He forgot/ignored that just because you're still technically a civilian doesn't mean you'll be treated as one if you work in the defence sector. For the scientific community he was a genius for governments he was evaluated on how big of a security risk he was. I'm sympathetic but realistic.
The US has laws that allow for you to basically be *drafted* if you have certain skills, in case of war or national emergency.
@@alexcarter8807 I would be surprised if you could name one country which has not got such a law.
The HARP gun is still in place in Barbados. I was there at Foul Bay when they were landed. Summer holidays and worked for free smokes. Great memories.
This in the news then, still happens today. But a Great flick too. Langella & Spacey Legends 💥👏🏽 Thanks for sharing
Excellent movie. The history it depicts is upsetting, but the film itself is well done.
Langella, Spacey and Goldwyn have all played roles as POTUS.
This still goes on today.
Great film with some outstanding actors.
Thanks for the upload! Been waiting forever to watch this one again.
HBO did some really underrated movies back in the day.
Back When HBO Was Worth Watching
Good stuff, I wanted to watch this last week but couldn't find it, excellent upload with perfect timing 👌 👍
one of the reasons to visit Duxford Imperial War Museum was to see a section of the doomsday gun preserved there. It does look terribly like some oversize pipping... just to think how close they were to accomplish it.
pipping?
"The Fist of God" a novel written by Fredrick Forsythe gives a lot of information about the lead-up to this full-scale weapon. It talks about the prototype catenary gun built in the mountains of Iraq to test the principle (whether true or not, it wasn't previously disclosed). I was on my way back from a foreign assignment when the news broke of the seizure of flanged, precision machined pipe spools that were found in a British warehouse bound via air freight, for Iraq.
A very true film, great actors, thank you
Before watching this movie, I knew about the subject. But it was thrilling watching the whole/ part of the story in a cinematic form.
Next PLEASE Kevin Spacey's The Usual Suspect 😃 great upload of this movie👍 we luvv Kevin as always 🤟🙋
Kevin is a perv.
pedo spacey?
Usual Suspects is on UA-cam. I believe it's free. Or their is a free version.
Nice movie.
A jail with a pool table ? No bad. No bad at all.
Great Performances By Everyone In This Movie
Fun fact: Army tanks are called tanks because the British wanted to maintain the secrecy of their new wonder weapon and referred to them as (water) tanks. Seventy or so years later the gun barrel for the supergun was made & shipped as oil pipe.
Good solid TV film. Thank-you for the upload!
Outstanding movie, thanks for uploading, subscribed! 👍
Thanks for uploading this film - i've always wanted to see this.
A fabulous film, all the better for being based on a true story.
I just enjoy the way he overcame the building issues of making the gun
More interesting than it looks, like the other comment says, and great role by Langella
I've seen a couple of sections of the Babylon Supergun at the Royal Armouries museum. It would've been awe inspiring had this gun been built.
Awesome!
Did they say if they got these pieces from Iraq or were they part of the few pieces not delivered to Iraq.
I remember a Brit trucker getting arrested because he was carrying a steel pipe and they assumed it was for the super gun. Bit of a mess, but they let him go eventually
Yes , it was in sections that screwed together . He was a lorry driver and held all the necessary paperwork , yet the Sun newspaper portrayed him as a master mind . I believe the Israeli secret service , reduced the number of people involved 😀
It was a great movie so thanks for sharing 👌👍👍👍
I'll say this: I started watching it, thinking that after 5 or 10 minutes it wouldn't keep my interest, but I ended up watching it straight through. Not the greatest movie ever made, sure, but a decent enough drama based on actual events -- events which I vaguely remembered when it made the TV news. Langella and Spacey were great, and the acting all around was decent. Made for HBO -- and you can see they probably made it as a way of commenting on the bullshit political corruption from during the Bush years that allowed it to go as far as it did.
Me too
Thank goodness we replaced the "corrupt" George H. W. Bush with the always honest and upright Clintons. Who would never take a dollar from a foreign country to serve their interests! They certainly have never been suspected of murdering their political enemies or inconvenient people, especially Hillary.
Not.
The corruption is just as bad today. Even worse when Ukraine is being given enough to survive but not actually win.
Pool table, TVs, play stations and more
Excellent movie considering it was made for TV. Cast includes 5 Oscar nominees, 2 winners.
The problem with a big gun is it`s not easily manoeuvrable. Once your opponent locates it it`s operating on borrowed time.
The Coalition during the 1991 Gulf War would have strike planes armed with GBUs to destroy it but that’s provided they know where it is.
His plan was to shoot satellites into space with a large gun. What the people who had the money to fund his experiments did with the the technology, wasn't what drove him. What drove him was putting things into space at less than 1/10 the cost of what NASA, & its 19,000 employees needed to do the same job. Jerry could do with a small group of engineers, & his own lifelong experience as a revolutionary Aero Dynamisist with a love for doing the impossible. The CIA paid him to help several countries fight & win wars, from Angola to Israel. Congress made him a USA citizen by a simple meeting, so he could be an American, as a Canadian, to do the work they wanted from him. What they didn't want, was Jerry Bull putting 19k people out if a job at NASA, so they strung him along, always promising to 1 day fund his Supergun program. Bulls best achievement (sarcasm perhaps) was while imprisoned in Federal penitentiary. A fellow inmate of many yrs, complained to Bull about how cold it was in the winter time, & how for a state of the art facility, the tax payers got ripped off in the heating design. Jerry askthe warden if he could have a look at the Blueprints of the heating and ventilation system. The warden warned him ahead of time, it wouldn't change anything, & nobody would pay to redo the system. Jerry looked at the design, & without buying any new parts or components of real value, he was able to explain to the maintainance crew how to rework the system, & get it to heat the building as designed. The components were are spec'd correctly. They were just put together incorrectly. & so the tax payers eventually got, free of charge, what they oaid for. A properly designed ventilation system.
Jerry was a very kind person. He didn't have a mean bone in his body. He was like a kid who wanted to shoot bottle rockets from an ole pipe he found behind the barn. What boy didn't do that, or dream of it? You won't find an employee of his who will say a bad word about him. He was good to his people, & paid them cery well. Many depended on him to support there families. His facility on the border of Canada & USA still exists. That alone is a story all its own.
RIP Jerry 🙏. To bad they didn't want you to put NASA out if business, & save American tax payers billion$ & billion$ in satellite launches.
I enjoyed the movie. Had seen it many years ago. Good acting. I remember the case when it hit the press.
Underrated tv movie.
My Late wife was the MDs secretary when customs raided Forgemasters Steel. Her MD and Forgemasters Groupe MD spent the night in jail. Something the elite were not accustomed too. I remember at the time Sheffield was a boom town and I was working overtime at home checking LA plans. My wife who I picked up from work was also working late. I took some plans to Forgemasters to check out while I waited for her, under the strict instructions not to breath a word about supergun. The MD said hello to me and joked "there not supergun plans are they " Still laugh about that 30 plus years later. Great film brings back memories. Frank Langella was my wife's favorite actor and sex symble at the time.
This is a True Story???
@@robstack3712 based on a true story , with dollops of propaganda programming
@@robstack3712 Yes. Didn't you read the title?
Condolences regarding your wife.As you have stated,this story is definitely true. I can confirm that as far as the public were aware, the problem came to light when the shipment of the last tube/ tubes was detained by customs at the docks. Peter left our company on Friday and started his new job at Forgemasters on Monday as the Group MD where as you say he was arrested and spent Tuesday in Jail. As you say, takes you back, fair representation of factual events.
The man who had ten minutes to live was laughing.
from Frederick Forsyth’s The Fist of God
Greatest movie. Amen.. Hallelujah... 🙏❤️🙌🌹💯🕊️💐👍
this movie is wonderful I had no idea that tony Goldwyn is in it he is so handsome and very talented
36:24 Dr Bull should've know about relining gun barrels, it was a practice used by the Royal Navy on their 60ft gun barrelled Battleships. Most probably the USN plus all the other navies of the world too.
A protective lining is much different than having to totally reline a gun barrel after a single firing which would be quite a task on a gun this big.
@@doorguru168888 Thanks for this.
Excellent movie. Brilliant acting.
❤Excellent movie🎉, never come across this one before, thank you for the upload, You are incomparable in uploading a classic and good movie!! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Worth watching.
Fantastic, very Good.
Great cast.
very nice thank you
What a great film, I really enjoyed watching, thank you, 👍👍👍👊✌️🇬🇧. PS, I've seen a section of the Iraqi super gun at Duxford IWM.
Oh yeah? “I’m gonna build the biggest gun that ever was!” 😂
Excellent movie with a great cast.
In fact, the Babylon cannon project was actually a project that was carried out in Iraq
The novel by Frederick Forsythe, based on this cannon
It's "God's Fist".
In the novel
With the Babylon cannon from this movie
They fire the same atomic bomb that was dropped in Hiroshima during World War II
It was planned to strike the multinational military camps that gathered to liberate Kuwait during the Gulf War.
If........
What a cast.
But my point is why build a world largest gun that is stationary?
Methinks Gerald Bull should have concentrated on mobile field artillery, following from the spectacular success of his units the South Africans used to outgun the Angolans. Any immobile supergun is doomed. Tracking radar trangulates the trajectory of the projectile to determine the gun's location, then squadrons of F-16s can blast any fixed artillery installation to kingdom come. The survival of the state-of-the-art American howitzers in the Ukraine stems not from their range and accuracy but on their ability to fire rapidly and then get the hell out of dodge before the Russians can deliver a devastating reprisal. Survival comes down to a matter of minutes and seconds - not even towed artilery is nimble enough. Big guns are not lostically viable, that's why nobody builds battleships any more.
Shoot 'n scoot!
methinks he wanted to build a gun that can shoot into space because it is really cool
Proper movie no fucking cgi
War can be viewed as a high-stakes game.
The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. It does require a very sad perspective on life.
Wow! Wow! Wow! I’m without speech!
there is a scene in the 1980s dramatization oppenheimer about the manhattan project that is almost identical to 24 minutes in -- both men are explaining some approach and both when asked how to do it confess, i don't know. langella sounds a lot like waterston actually.
great movie
Excellent
I Haven't Seen This Movie In A Long Time, Thanks For Putting This On UA-cam
I saw this movie yrs ago, Good Movie,
Great cast and movie.
Bull was really hung out to dry by Mi6. Thanks for all the info on Iraq’s weapons programme - now you’re on your own!
Reminds me of ' The Guns of Navarone ' by Alistair McLean .
A nice movie. However, there is 1 big error to report. A cannon barrel without a Rifled barrel?? Rifling consists of spiral grooves in the bore, which will impart a spin to the fired round as it travels down the barrel. This spin will gyro stabilize the flight of the fired round. That is what I do not see.
That's not neccessary if the projectile has a gyroscopic stabilizer installed.
Smooth bore gun.
Most large guns are smooth bore!
The super gun would also be highly vulnerable due to its immobility. Israeli Air Force would have identified it’s location with ease - and they would have if it was actually completed.
@@nickjung7394 Most tank guns are smooth bore.
Them Priest targeting the young lads!
OMnG😮 this came when i left the military....damn i'm old🕵️😮🥸
good work
9:32 great file naming system
The material specification and tolerances on them Barrel sections would have raised alarm bells at Forge Masters immediately
Those, not them.
@@majormanfredrex Do you feel better now ?
@@trevortrevortsr2
First grade teachers always feel good when a student picks up on a point of basic grammar and they take sarcasm in their stride.
I am not much different.
@@majormanfredrex To live in a self-centered narrative must be lonely.
In the video game "Sacred 2 Fallen Angel" the Seraphim character has a buff called BeeEffGee which some players refer to as the BFG the "Big Effing Gun" It's a divine weapon in the form of a gun that destroys everything.
Fist of God by Fredrick Forsyth deals with the same subject.
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Gerald Bull was alike Wernher von Braun ...
A really good film , amazing how the lies like in this keep getting told over and over again
사실 바빌론 대포 계획은 이라크에서 실제로 진행했던 계획이었고
이 대포를 모티브로 프레드릭 포사이드가 쓴 소설이
'신의 주먹' 입니다.
그 소설에서는
이 영화에 나오는 바빌론 대포로
2차대전 당시 히로시마에 투하된 원자폭탄과 똑같은 핵포탄을 발사해
걸프전 때 쿠웨이트를 해방시키기 위해서 모인 다국적군 주둔지를 타격한다는 계획어었습니다.
만약..........
1차 걸프전 당시
그런 방법으로 다국적군이 핵공격으로 몰살을 당했다면...........
과연 지금의 역사는 어떤 식으로 바뀌어졌을까요?
Some of the dialogue is cheesy and melodramatic but this is a solidly produced movie. Dr Bull had a vision to design and build an awesome weapon, capable of tremendous advantage to anyone using it. I’m confused why he was so intent on creating the ‘super gun’ at the expense of his own life?
He was throwing a tantrum.
Some men have a vision and become obsessed in achieving said vision. Obsession is often required to achieve what has not been done before. Many inventions were thought of by obsessed men. Its not a bad thing if its used for good. Building weapons that kill is not good. He deserved what he got. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
His life wasn't an expensive one - a cheap life dedicated to the creating of an expensive weapon.
@@ziggyschumann5284 did Werner VaunBraun & Kelly Johnson also get what they deserved, then? Cuz those 2 lilled more people than Jerry Bull ever did. VaunBraun literally stepped over dead body's of Jewish slave labor to get in & out of the facility that built the V2. Wake up.
incredible
Ah! So he did spot that "Tail"!
I'm the same way. Folks following me? I spot them pretty quickly. Almost always the Corporations own security people. Makes me feel very safe!
Champion 🏆
No clue Kevin Spacey was in this, haven't seen this in 15 years
I have had no clue Spacey was the lead in "Margin Call" just recently, although the film made great impact on me... He was really great in disappearing into the character and paradoxically didn't play always "the same way". And sometimes he was just NOT memorable like here ;-)
Excellent film, all star US and UK cast, based on true story. Watch and weep people.The world you think you know is a myth.
oh great a Kevin Spacey movie.....
Yes and what a very handsome man he is!
Old school at the office - chalk and blackboard
I like chalk and blackboards. It all went downhill when blackboards were replaced by greenboards.
'the Germans built it for us, they are very good at underground bunkers......' hilarious 😅
Bull: “they all laughed at Christopher Columbus” 😆
Nice movie!
Mugging the Moon, then shooting it in the back... Yep. 🤣
I will watch again I know I missed something.
What happened to all the British engineers who worked on designing the guns ?
Every one of those engineers knew they were creating a terror weapon for a psychopathic dictator.
17:07, what is on his foot/shoe? What is that? Will that show up in a future frame???
How do you aim a gun that's fixed to a mountain?
Obviously you can alter the range by adjustments to the propellant but can you steer the shells?
🤔
A pressure vessel...! Well that's what all guns are essentially.
A real winner, this movie! great plot, well ackted, & a happy ending! What's more to ask for?
ackted you dummy is mispelled
Now everyone just uses missiles for their long range killing!
Starting out in the evening full movie upload
I can see that parts of it were filmed in Bristol, U.K
And the scenes in ‘Iraq’ were filmed in Spain.
a great movie, life or death Gerald Bull was committed to his mission, a tragedy that even CIA and MI5 could not hold the hands of Mossad to kill him.
Of course, the Gun was aimed at Israel, so why should the CIA or MI5 care about that. His killing was ordered by Mossad and rightly so!
