One of the best Action Movie of all time. The creators didn't compromise on anything, the cast and crew, the shots, the story, the infamous one-liners and the best Action sequences.... These are so real that even it's 2021 the movie didn't looks like it's made in 1993. I can't believe to know it is older than I am when I got to knew about it.
Well, it's a fun film, but not even close to Terminator, T2, or Aliens in most people's estimation. Definitely didn't have the impact of Titanic or Avatar either. And personally I prefer The Abyss which is way more original. Better than Piranha 2 though :)
vin 950 Umm, how would you explain German, RAF, Italian and Spanish Typhoons have “killed” multiple F-22’s and F-35’s in Training Dogfights? Both BVR and Close in.
smoketinytom had they not early retired the Harrier fleet UK would have a carrier with an active airwing now.. geez the Harrier is not a bad jet.. it cant hold its own against modern fighters but its still a very decent strike jet and very CAS capable... and it sure as hell its infinitelly better than nothing... The spanish armada will hold on theirs for as long as posible while they short out if they can buy the F35B or not.. but at least they have a carrier with an operational air wing..wich the british have not for many years now
sparrowJLT Well, as modern Warfare has proved for a few years now is that a long range ship launched missiles can do that same job, and a bit more of a payload.
smoketinytom Aircraft carriers rule over suface ships ..thats why most surface units have evolved towards anti-air or anti-submarine warfare rather than anti-ship.. the US Navy even stoped mounting Harpoon missiles in the Flight 2 burkes onwards... and there is not yet an anti-ship Tomahawk variant.. they are working on one but its not operational
When I first saw this movie 20 years ago, I literally thought that they actually blew up the bridge. That's how believable the practical effects were, I knew the Harriers were real but still though.
Fantastic movie. Really shows off the Harrier beautifully. (A British invention.) Awesome aircraft. Sequence featured here is REAL Harriers, no models or CG. A mock up was used in the finale (for obvious reasons lol.)
I just watched a documentary on the making of the special effects for this. The main model builder talked about the bridge and how they set up the sequence of the timing for the explosions. At 2:07 if you look at the lower right corner of the scene you can see where the model bridge ends. You'll never be able to unsee it again. 😆
This movie is the SHIT! I believe this is Arnolds best movie. The part when the Harrier jukes the incoming missiles and banks right still raises my hairs. Such a good action shot. Then the part where the truck was hanging off of the bridge then hits the ground and explodes was overkill but hilarious as hell. That always felt like an awesome comedy touch.
Watch this when I was a kid with no idea of physics or blow-back, always just thought they made a mistake in editing or something... watched this movie 20 years later and finally realized what happened to the guy @1:12 and just gotta say man that is a really bad way to go! LOL
That’s actually the old bridge that they’re on , they took out a big section of it in the middle. The other one. The one that’s used. So in reality they wouldn’t got very far anyway.
Wow... After the pelican landed, the time it took for the truck to fall off the bridge was more than enough time the men needed to escape through the back, including the driver. But especially the men in the back who could had made it out in a single jump. It's so easy to jump 4 ft without first running, walking or even stepping. Or in this case, a 2-ft-jump. Or a hop rather... It's the great American humor in the movie how pathetic it was that the two Middle-Easterns in the back made no attempt to hop out for their lives. 🇺🇸 💪👍👊🇺🇸
Why would they fly on an angle across the path of the convoy to shoot so that the timing has to be perfect to hit them? Wouldn't it make more sense to fly straight along the bridge from behind the convoy so that all your fire would be along the same path they are driving on (they cant make any turns on a bridge)?

Funnily enough, nukes require so much to go right, that even if the mavs hit them dead on, they wouldn't set the nuke off. Granted, you'd still get some radiation release, but it would be far less than that of an actual nuclear detonation, and this would be something NEST could manage.

@Marko Jotic Nothing wrong mate. Strafing(a word that means shooting ground targets) are usually performed from the side of the vehicle. This is because the surface area exposed is larger. There is a higher chace of hitting the target.
@@leontam221 I don't think the surface area matters that much but it depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you have two birds to attack a convoy it's perfectly feasible to do a pass attacking the lead and the tail vehicle to pin everyone in the middle, turn around and then do passes from the front. Even if surface area was greater from the side, you get more time on the target by coming from the front or the rear.
The last of the great Cameron/ Schwartzeneggar collabs. This was such a great film that had truly funny slapstick moments coupled with top-notch action. And then VFX!

I just watched this movie yesterday for the countless time. The effects has aged so well and the humour is still damn hilarious. Too underated and a true classic
Agreeing with others, james cameron and Christopher nolan are 2 of the best action film directors of this generation. Also Cameron's use of live action and practical effects allows for someone like me to stay connected to the story and not get bored. In addition, the speed the harriers fly compared to the choppers and the cars combined with the music, also add to the urgency of the scene. They literally are trying to destroy 3 nukes in trucks, coordinate the evacuation of residents from a nuke, in a window of about 34 minutes. It doesnt get more urgent than that
Back when action movies didn’t use CGI for the 90 % of the time. Man the practical effects are awesome. That is a real explosion and a real bridge and stunts. Awesome James Cameron
@@Echo-qd4wn no its not. Its far cheaper than building sets and hiring stuntmen and props which and preperation takes for ever. Back before cgi movies could take 2 years or more to make but nowadays a few months
@@jakcarn4184 it's depends of cgi you using. If you using the cartoonish it will cost only $10,000-$2,000,000. If you using the avengers infinity war style it will cost around $500,000-$200,000,000 it depends of the duration of the cgi

@@jacob1652 Not 'everything' was done by "real planes" with "real scenes". etc. Here's is my rebuttal: "TRUE LIES miniature effects" Please enjoy the work done as I did! 😁
@@jessejohnson159 I had to rewatch and rewind just to look for the miniatures lol.
Link, please.
@@juansanchez-vk1yf Sorry Juan, I'm not sure what 'link' you're asking for, or even if you're asking me. But copy and paste 'TRUE LIES miniature effects', if you're asking me about the miniature effects of that movie. 😁
Leave it to James Cameron to say “I need a shot of a bridge exploding. So let’s a build a real seven mile bridge and blow it up.”
It was a small scale bridge
And Fox let him do it too. This was the first film of his deal with them and the first official Lightstorm Entertainment film.
They used a model and a replica of small portion of that bridge.
That bridge is still there too connects to a middle island and is used for storage
I just watched this movie yesterday for the countless time. The effects has aged so well and the humour is still damn hilarious. Too underated and a true classic
I was crying from laughter after the truck fell from the bridge.
Gimmie the goddamn PAGE!
When Arnold gives that grimace over the nukes going off, it was epic comedy
Agreeing with others, james cameron and Christopher nolan are 2 of the best action film directors of this generation. Also Cameron's use of live action and practical effects allows for someone like me to stay connected to the story and not get bored. In addition, the speed the harriers fly compared to the choppers and the cars combined with the music, also add to the urgency of the scene. They literally are trying to destroy 3 nukes in trucks, coordinate the evacuation of residents from a nuke, in a window of about 34 minutes. It doesnt get more urgent than that
Richard Donner too
Back when action movies didn’t use CGI for the 90 % of the time. Man the practical effects are awesome. That is a real explosion and a real bridge and stunts. Awesome James Cameron
CGI is better it doesn't harm the environment
@@jakcarn4184 cgi is so expensive
@@Echo-qd4wn no its not. Its far cheaper than building sets and hiring stuntmen and props which and preperation takes for ever. Back before cgi movies could take 2 years or more to make but nowadays a few months
@@jakcarn4184 it's depends of cgi you using. If you using the cartoonish it will cost only $10,000-$2,000,000. If you using the avengers infinity war style it will cost around $500,000-$200,000,000 it depends of the duration of the cgi
The bridge was a miniature. Still pretty cool practical effects though. Amazing scene.
Legend has it that the last words that Pelican said to those guys before he flew away was...
*MURICA.*
Let's get some
This scene is fucking GOLDEN
And the practical use of harriers REAL HARRIERS
How have I only just found this !!!
Watching this while on the 7-mile bridge. It's kind of surreal.
Just like the bridge to Crimea!
A flawless movie. So well done. A forever classic.
Seen more than 50 times still want to c
