#react #reaction #huntforredoctober
In your outro, you asked how Jones figured out the Russian caterpillar drive, and why the Russians didn't make it harder to figure out.
Jones had an advantage that could not be prevented.
He was right there when the Red October turned on the caterpillar drive.
Jones heard the regular engines go silent. That should be impossible, more or less, unless the Red October just stopped and sat there doing nothing.
But then he heard two other things:
1. A weird noise that was moving away. He didn't know what it was.
2. Russian singing that was also moving away at the same speed and direction.
Put all that together, and he knew the Red October turned off the normal engines and turned on something else and was moving away, and that something else must be that sound he heard.
So he isolated and filtered it and listened to it trying to figure out what it was, but was unable to figure THAT out on his own. After all, he's a sonar guy, not a mechanical engineer.
But he DID figure out how to recognize it when he hears it again.
Yeah, he's a smart cookie.
But it's not entirely amazing; just a smart guy doing his job well, who got EXTREMELY lucky to be in the one place in that whole wide ocean where he could hear all that at the same time.
The term "buckaroo" is American slang for "cowboy." It can also mean someone who has the potential to act wild, impulsive, and unpredictable if they're challenged, or perceive there is a threat.
Buckaroo it's a variant of Spanish word "Vaquero" which means cowboy
So, it's Spanish slang for cowboy. Thanks.@@santiagorodriguez9849
A buckeroo is like an apprentice cowboy. The new kid.
@@GWNorth-db8vn yes, and the new kid is likely to make rash decisions, use poor judgment, fail to consider the consequences of actions, and overreact when his manhood is challenged.
“Buckaroo Banzi, across the 8th Dimension” is also an amazing film 😎
I just learned this morning that Joss Ackland, who played the Soviet ambassador here, died this week at age 95. I really like his sparring with Chief of Staff Pelt in the film.
............................................. you lost another submarine?
"Dipliomyatic Inmuneteeh"
RIP Hans from The Mighty Ducks. 😢
My favorite line is when he trolls Gordon by pretending to cut his finger on the sharpened skate blades, to which Gordon later replies, "You're morbid, Hans," and he shrugs and replies with, "No, I'm Scandinavian." 😂😂
He was also great in Lethal Weapon 2! "Diplomatic Immunity!" RIP!!!
We have been losing so many fine actors lately. It's so frustrating. Joss Ackland was such a talented performer in comedies as well as dramas.
The story is, Tom Clancy was interviewed by the CIA for having an interesting amount of knowledge about submarines and soviet doctrine. He actually got his information from public sources and then made some educated guesses.
The story is based on a soviet warship that had a coup, but it was a surface vessel.
One of the best movies for keeping you guessing and at the edge of your seat!
I remember hearing this story back in the day. Then, Clancy wrote The Sum of All Fears. I live in Colo. Springs, and worked in Cheyenne Mountain back in the late '80s and early '90s. On the one hand, Clancy correctly referenced a rest area on I-25 south of COS the terrorists used on their way to the Super Bowl, but when he wrote about things going on in NORAD/Cheyenne Mountain, a lot of it was wrong - e.g. he didn't even get the names of the watch centers correct. Now back before 9/11, we had to deal with tours in the Mtn every day, and while there was quite the waiting list, I'm sure he could have wrangled a tour; however, it seemed clear this was one area of research he dropped the ball on, and made me wonder about the CIA debrief story...
yeah, and I happened to be serving in the Navy when that Soviet warship had a coup!
It was based on the real life mutiny on the Krivak I class frigate the Storozhevoy n 1975. Paper Skies made a pretty good video on it a couple of weeks ago.

The REAL-LIFE Capt. Ramius (Capt. Anatoly Androsovych) was a Soviet-Navy Technical Advisor to Hollywood during "Glastnost" & Open-Information Rusia after Berlin Wall taken down. *HE WAS THE FATHER OF HALYNA HUTCHINS, THE LADY THAT ALEC BALDWIN KILLED LAST YEAR ON MOVIE SET --- NO SHIT.*
@@davefranklin4136 , maybe he didn't want another "debrief" session like that again. :-)
Jones only identified the Silent Propulsion because he happened to hear them transition from normal propellers. He heard the sub "disappear" with just a weird background noise in its place.
I love how Sam Neil's characters last words were "I would like to have seen Montana" and the same actors first scene in Jurassic Park were set in Montana
16:48 As the captain of the Red October, Ramius is extremely aware of what the sub can do. Naval captains don’t just give orders and hope their ship can do it. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ramius had already done the calculations for 26 knots before he ordered the speed increase.
Fred Thompson, who played the American admiral who knew Jack’s backstory, was a congressional aide and conducted questioning during the Watergate hearings in 1973-4, and after acting for a bit, became a U.S. senator and presidential candidate, then returned to acting.
For me, he will always be Knox Pooley from Wiseguy.
While Thompson was running for the senate, Red October was coincidentally aired in TV prime time. His competitors demanded the network give them equal air time for their advertising.
Very much admired FDT & supported his run for President. He was such a straight-shooter & honest guy. I have wondered at times how different things would be today had he won.
Senator from the great state of Tennessee!
@@rayvanhorn1534I don’t recall any of his positions. I remember that he did lean heavily on his persona as the DA in Law & Order.
Back in the day I used to be a security guard, one time on an overnight job somebody left a copy of this book laying around. I must have read half the book in one go, it was so riveting.
I love that the teddy bear is listed in the kredits. His name is Stanley! 🧸
When James Earl Jones' character in the film blows the torpedo 300 feet from impact, the audience cheered first time I saw this film in theaters. It was a real "hell yeah" moment.
I love Alex Baldwins line in this film “I have to be careful about what I shoot at?!”
29:20 "Now, understand, Commander, that torpedo did not self-destruct. You heard it hit the hull. And I...
[showing identification] ... was never here.
The ship that shot over the sub is an Oliver Hazard Perry Class Guided Missile Fast Frigate. They were the work horse of the US Navy in the late 70's thru the very early 90's. Great tough little ships. Those ships were designed for anti-submarine warfare and other missions. I was a sailor who served aboard one in mid thru late 80's. The Cold War was tense on the seas.
They retired that class too quickly.
The USS Reuben James, of course, was the plot hole. They included that particular ship in the movie as an homage for her role in another Tom Clancy novel, _Red Storm Rising._ In that book, she was one of the ships that crossed the Panama Canal to reinforce the Atlantic fleet after the US Navy lost their first battle of World War Three.
Take note of that: The Reuben James had to travel into the Atlantic Ocean-- because in reality Reuben James served 100% of her career in the US Pacific Fleet!
If you read the book, you'll get the backstory on many things, such as:
- How Ramius' wife died, and why that drove him to do the things he did;
- More of the interplay between the two ambassadors, and how Pelt (the American ambassador) knew his counterpart was lying;
- The apathy of Soviet workers, and how that might have led to a very different outcome for the book if not for a "negligent flick of the wrist."
If you choose to read the book, you'll find it's so much better than the movie (and the movie was WAY beyond good).
6:18 Sean Connery from "The Rock" is also Indiana Jones's dad and was the first James Bond. He also stars in "The Untouchables", a popular true crime movie with Kevin Costner.
7:07 You only recognized Tim Curry from "Rocky Horror", but you missed everyone else.
8:57 - That's James Earl Jones, he's the voice of Darth Vader and he's the writer in "Field of Dreams".
6:40 - Jeffrey Jones, he was the dad in "Beetlejuice". But I guess you saw that after this. He's also in "Amadeus" and is best known as the principal in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
5:12 - Sam Neill, he was the main character in "Jurassic Park", the paleontologist/dinosaur scientist.
15:41 - Scott Glenn, he was Jodie Foster's boss in "The Silence of the Lambs". He was also in "Apocalypse Now".
13:18 - Stellan Skarsgård was Boris in "Chernobyl", the second main character/politician guy. He was also the mathematician who worked with Matt Damon in "Good Will Hunting".
4:48 - The black sonar technician is Courtney B. Vance. He played Johnnie Cochran, O.J. Simpson's lawyer in the first season of "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" if you saw that.
John McTiernan who directed this also directed "Die Hard" and "Predator". He also directed "Die Hard 3" and "Last Action Hero", a great parody of action movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"Sean Connery ... was the first James Bond. "
Sean Connery was not the first actor to play James Bond "on screen": Barry Nelson was.
"Barry Nelson (born Robert Haakon Nielsen;[1] April 16, 1917 - April 7, 2007)[2] was an American actor, noted as the first actor to portray Ian Fleming's secret agent James Bond.[3]
...
He was the first actor to play James Bond on screen in a 1954 adaptation of Ian Fleming's novel Casino Royale on the television anthology series Climax! (preceding Sean Connery's interpretation in Dr. No by eight years).[9] " -- Wikipedia
The only James Bond.
Fun fact: Sean Connery played the father of Indiana Jones, who was played by Harrison Ford. Ford played the character Jack Ryan in two films. Jack Ryan is the name of the character in this film, played by Alec Baldwin.
@@vornamenachname4298 , Ford & Baldwin’s Ryan is the same character. Just different novels/films & actors, of course. Good info, though. Thanks for sharing!
@@TonyTigerTonyTiger Yea, I know Barry Nelson was technically the first Bond. Everybody knows that, but nobody cares about Barry Nelson.😄He was an American playing Bond which is all kinds of wrong, not to mention he looked like a crew cut wearing, all-American high school football player from the 1950s unconvincingly playing a suave, slick superspy. And his acting was subpar and it was like a TV movie/anthology series episode. So, no one counts that.
I don't know exactly why but I've always loved this movie. I'm pretty sure every time I've randomly come across this movie I'll start watching no matter where it is in the movie and i always finish it. This is definitely one of my all time favorites.
33:01 That is Stellan Skarsgård, who you might have seen in the Avengers movies as the scientist guy Selvig, and he was also in Good Will Hunting as the mathematics professor who takes Matt Damon under his wings. It's also quite possible that you recognize "him" through one of this many actor sons, the most prominent I guess is Alexander Skarsgård (who's been in a lot), but in the last few years Bill Skarsgård played Pennywise the Clown in the movie "It" ..
And Boris Shcherbina in _Chernobyl,_ and Baron Harkonnen in _Dune._ 😄
And Luthen Rael in Andor
And Gregor in Ronin
And oilrig worker Jan in _Breaking the Waves_
@@ButcherPeete"Reflexes Die Hard."
Sean Connery's Russian accent is impeccable 😉
Admiral Greer is played by James Earl Jones, who voiced the character of Darth Vader in that little known 1970s movie, Star Wars.
This is one of the few movies I can watch over and over again. Simply love it. Especially Sean Connery.
When the book and the movie came out, I was still employed by one of those “ three letter agencies”. One day a VIP contingent from the Joint Chiefs of Staff was in the SCIF visiting our production area and noticed that my friend had the book on his desk. One admiral turned to another and said “I see this young man is working with materials classified at the highest level“.
I love that you suspected Frank-N-Furter as the saboteur, LOL
My first introduction to the characters Jack Ryan and James Greer. Love this movie so much. My favorite line comes from Ramius. "Personally, I give us one chance in three. More tea gentlemen?"
Agree with everything. Ramius is a great character with iconic lines. Connery’s delivery is perfect… if you ignore the Scottish burr, of course! 👍🏻
Mary, of course you are still a really young woman, but as someone who has watched your reactions for a long time it's so interesting to see you growing, starting a family, gaining confidence and maturity. I'm so happy for you.
5:12 LMAO the Jurassic Park music for Sam Neill😂
Also I bet the book is phenomenal
This movie completely took me by surprise. I went with one of my friends to see this at the movies not really knowing nothing about it. It blew my mind. Loved it loved it loved it. I didn't hesitate to go see Patriot Games when it followed a few years later. And man, I sure wasn't disappointed... You'll love the others in this series. Although not about submarines, the next two does star Harrison Ford. :)
Sum of All Fears is pretty good too. Don't care for Ben Afleck and the girl all that much but the rest of the cast is wonderful.
I love this movie so much. My family quotes it all the time.
Same. And what's great about it, even knowing all the twists and plots, it's a movie you can watch over and over again, and it still is a great, even suspenseful watch.
Another submarine movie for your consideration is _Crimson Tide_ (1995) starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman.
34:34 Love the empathy.
On a navy ship, the captain is an absolute authority. His word goes, always.
The magnificent Stellan Skarsgård plays Captain Tupolev.
This man deserves a Lifetime Achievement Oscar his many fantastic performances.
The REAL-LIFE Capt. Ramius (Capt. Anatoly Androsovych) was a Soviet-Navy Technical Advisor to Hollywood during "Glastnost" & Open-Information Rusia after Berlin Wall taken down. *HE WAS THE FATHER OF HALYNA HUTCHINS, THE LADY THAT ALEC BALDWIN KILLED LAST YEAR ON MOVIE SET --- NO SHIT.*
If you want to watch another great submarine film watch "Crimson Tide" (1995 )with Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington.
Legit.
"Hostile waters" is okay also. Although i think its acting is less realistic, it is based on a real event.
Tony Scott classic!
The actor who is the captain of the Soviet sub pursuing the Red October is Stellan Skarsgard. He has been in plenty of movies. The most recent is the “Dune” series.
And "It's" daddy ;)
@@chefskiss6179, and the IRL father of three(?) actors

4 years later we are introduced to Sam Neills character in Jurassic Park at a dinosaur excavation in ..... Montana ;)
The admiral, James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader. ICYDK
James Earl Jones is also the narrator at the end of War of the Worlds and was in The Lion King, The Sandlot, Dr. Strangelove, and too many other films to listen here.
Ahhh, Mary out here watching my favorite movie. Fantastic. A birthday present a week early.
Alternate ending - Connery and Baldwin - " Jack, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." (as in Casablanca)
The word underrated gets thrown around a lot on reactions but for this film it's deserved The Hunt for Red October is easy a 9/10 it's well written , acted, the score is great and the pacing is on point at no point are you bored. Whenever I see it on TV I'll quite happily sit and watch
I laughed so hard at the Hiya Georgie reveal of Tim Curry. ✌🏽
"How long before Remius could launch his missiles at us."
The actual answer was... at any point, really.
Not if the missiles are short range.
@@Stogie2112 The range of the Typhoon launchers was 8,300 kilometers.
Having read the book first, this was such a loyal reflection. Tom Clancy wrote it without basing it on any one story. The book was written in the early 80s so it was filled with a lot of the paranoia of the day. The movie came out as Glasnost was ongoing and around the time the Iron Curtain had fallen so it was very much a child of the era for sure.
This movie shines in ways the successor Patriot Games does not (as far as meeting the message of the novel)
The Jurassic Park music playing over Sam Neil. 😂
“They do move in herds.”
The historical background to Tom Clancy's novel, The Hunt For Red October, is that in the mid-1970s the enlisted crew of a Soviet navy ship tried to sail to Norway to escape the USSR. But because of the compartmentalization of information, enlisted personnel could only run the engines at half power. All the officers were ashore when the enlisted guys made a break for Norway, but sadly, the ship was intercepted and captured. Someone wrote a Master's Degree thesis about the event, which Tom Clancy apparently read, and it became the inspiration for his novel and this movie.
Also, it helps to have read the book first. I read the book long before the movie was made, as did so many others. Tom Clancy was very popular right from the beginning of his writing career.
Amazing movie with a great cast. The action really keeps you at the edge of your seat! If you like submarine movies, you might enjoy The Enemy Below, a vintage classic from 1957. It takes place during WWII and describes the duel between a German submarine and an American destroyer. This movie is old but aged gracefully!
I personally enjoy Down Periscope. A bit silly comedy at times, but containing some truth.
U-571 and Das Boot are also great submarine movies.
@@kevinmoore2929 Indeed! Das Boot being my favorite. I think Mary already reviewed it.
My father was stationed in Greenland to monitor Soviet subs in the 1950s. He loved this movie.
You saw Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice. He was the ghost husband. In fact, the scene where they are first talking about the caterpillar drive also has the guy who played the father in Beetlejuice as well.
The Jack Ryan character is a main character written by Tom Clancy. Some other films with the same character (although played by different actors) are Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, and The Sum of All Fears.
THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING is a brilliant CONNERY film and its funny
We should never forget the name Vasii Arkhipov, the man that saved the world from a nuclear holocaust. Arkhipov was the second officer on Soviet Nuclear Sub B-29 during the Cuban Missile crisis in 1962. The captains of the subs (there were 4 in the area) were ordered to act on their own if they were out of communication with Moscow for more than 24 hours. B-29 was out of touch because they were submerged due to US warships trying to bring them to the surface for identification. The captain and political officer decided that war had been declared and they should fire their nuclear weapon. It took all 3 votes to launch. Arkhipov convinced the captain not to launch, instead surface and contact Moscow. They surfaced to later find out that the crisis has been averted. A nuclear launch by B-29 would have triggered a nuclear exchange. So on this American Thanksgiving I'd like to thank Vasili Arkhipov. It's not just the US that has a day of Thanksgiving. Quite a few countries do, even a region in the Netherlands I think. So even if your country does not have a day of Thanksgiving we can all be thankful that we don't glow in the dark. HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
The choir is awesome. It's its own character.
I was a sophomore ROTC engineering student and saw this with classmates at a Saturday matinee. It was incredible. I love this film.
An older submarine movie from 1968 is "Ice Station Zebra". Great cast.
the sub that was filmed jumping out of the water is now docked in Portland Oregon at the OMSI Museum on the Willamette river
8:57 "I know him as well, right? Where from?" That's James Earl Jones. He's been in lots of things, but the only ones I see in your archives: he was the voice of Darth Vader throughout the Star Wars franchise. (He was also the voice of King Mufasa in Disney's animated film The Lion King, and he was seen in Field of Dreams, starring Kevin Costner, and Coming to America, starring Eddie Murphy.)
Please continue with Star Trek.
She's doing Star Trek?
She already reacted to the latest three Star Trek movies. Watching the other movies will not make that much sense without having first seen the series and I doubt that will happen due to the time investment and/or interest to do so.
@@thijsvandrenth5947She don't have to watch everything! Maybe: top ten Classic episodes = Star Trek 1 to 6 = top ten "The Next Generation" episodes = Star Trek 7 to 10 ✌️
Fantastic movie! 💪😎💪
The music is amazing :) The soundtrack was composed by Basil Poledouris!! He also did the soundtracks for Red Dawn, Conan, Robocop and so many others!! 💗
You've gotta love boat movies.
Tom Clancy writes a lot of military fiction, the weird thing is that he has a lot of military expert contacts he uses to get things close to reality. And sometimes he comes too close as he has been investigated multiple times by the CIA because his stories might have gotten too close to top secret reality.
It’s a good movie. Every country has a military, all tough and unique in their way.
Alec Baldwins most infamous role must be as himself in 'Team America: World Police' AWIIIICK BAAAAWINNNNN...
That's one of the big features of Tom Clancy's works. The plots work out, because of course they do, but they work out because of competent professionals solving problems competently. There's something very satisfying about trusting in people's abilities.
When you made the one comment, I'm like "I don't know him." But it turns out it was a young Stellan Skarsgård.
For Connery: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Highlander, The Untouchables, and all of the James Bond films.
For Baldwin: Beetlejuice, Prelude to a Kiss, Notting Hill (minor part), State and Main, The Royal Tenenbaums (narrator), Elizabethtown (minor part)
28:51 The "leak" is specified as being in the primary loop. The fluid (usually water, but not always) is radioactive from being in direct cintact inside the reactor, a leak there is very dsngerous. A leak in the secondary loop is also dangerous, but is *not* radioactive.
“Sir Shawn Connery”. He was knighted by the Queen.
Years ago, there was a Soviet surface warship that mutinied in the Baltic. The Swedes watched carefully as the rest of the Soviet Navy dealt with their own problem.
Crazy fun fact. Tupolevs boat is an Alfa class (NATO nickname) sub capable of nearly 50 mph underwater!! That's super fast
8:57 That's James Earl Jones, and his highest profile performance is probably as the voice of Darth Vader. :) So while you might have missed many of his movies, that voice will certainly ring a bell.
Also great in Field of Dreams . He did one of my favorite monologues …..”People will come ….”
And Mufasa in The Lion King!
The REAL-LIFE Capt. Ramius (Capt. Anatoly Androsovych) was a Soviet-Navy Technical Advisor to Hollywood during "Glastnost" & Open-Information Rusia after Berlin Wall taken down. *HE WAS THE FATHER OF HALYNA HUTCHINS, THE LADY THAT ALEC BALDWIN KILLED LAST YEAR ON MOVIE SET --- NO SHIT.*
One of the few movies that was almost as good as the novel. Yes radiation would be a fear in a nuke powered sub. Really a testament to the navies that have nuke powered subs and in US case nuke powered carriers that they’ve been so safely employed in warships in harsh sea environs. “Some things in here don’t react too well to bullets.” Mary notes the open hallway but pretty sure Ramius was referring to the dozens of nuclear missiles in that compartment. 😅 Another great modern submarine movie with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman: Crimson Tide. Less complex but raises great questions as the antagonists both have a valid point. Check it out! To really appreciate Sean Connery you have to watch his early work as James Bond. You were wondering how Ramius got officers to be in on the defection but remember he is the “Vilnius schoolmaster,” who trained most of their submarine officer corps. Oh, and definitely feet on the depth gauge. Freedom boats use freedom measurements! 😂
Jeffery Jones who plays the analyst that tells Ryan about the caterpillar drive plays the emperor in Amadeus, the dad in betalguese and the high school principal in ferris buellers day off.
Great movie, great reaction.
More movies you should watch that not every other reactor watches:
*Medicine Man* Sean Connery
*The Edge* Alec Baldwin
*U-571* submarine
Connery was the original James Bond. He also played in the original 'Highlander'. And Alec Baldwin was in the tv-series '30 Rock'.
This is the first in a long line of Jack Ryan stories by Tom Clancy, or based on the character. Alec Baldwin played Jack only in this film. James Earl Jones, who plays Admiral James Greer, was Darth Vader's voice. Captain Tupolev was Stellan Skarsgard (Good Will Hunting). In the beginning, we briefly see Jack's wife, Cathy played by Gates McFadden (best-known for her role as Dr. Beverly Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation) using an English accent (Cathy is American, even though a couple of actresses who played her are not).
The sets of the Red October and the Dallas were built on gimbals to move the sets, giving the actors the sense of going up, down, and side-to-side.
Other Jack Ryan stuff to watch:
- Patriot Games - Harrison Ford takes over as Jack Ryan, James Earl Jones returns as Adm. James Greer, with Anne Archer as Cathy Ryan, Jack's wife. Also stars Thora Birch (Sally Ryan), Sean Bean, Samuel L. Jackson, and Richard Harris. Based on the novel by Tom Clancy. Excellent movie!
- Clear and Present Danger - Ford, Archer, Birch, and Jones return, with Willam Defoe as Clark. Based on the novel by Tom Clancy. Also an excellent movie!
- Sum Of All Fears - The studio tried to reboot the series with Ben Affleck taking over as Jack Ryan, Bridget Moynihan as Cathy (Bridget was also the late Mrs. John Wick), and Liev Schreiber as Clark. Also stars Morgan Freeman, James Cromwell, and Ciaran Hinds. It's okay.
- Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit - A different reboot, and an original story with Chris Pine as Jack Ryan, Keira Knightley as Cathy, Kevin Costner, and Sir Kenneth Branagh (who also directed the film). Worth a watch, but not amazing.
- Jack Ryan - An Amazon original series in its 4th season with John Krasinski as Jack Ryan. Based more on the characters of Jack, Cathy (his wife, played by Aussie actress Abbie Cornish), and James Greer (played by Wendell Pierce) with original season-long storylines. I have watched the first two seasons and I enjoyed them. Krasinski is right behind Ford as my favorite Ryan.
One of my favorite movies. It was so cool on the big screen. Nice choice ✌️💜
The Hunt for October is based on two Naval incidences. The main incident involved the Russian submarine... K-129 in, 1960.
The captain of the nuclear submarine and his senior officers believed a nuclear war between the United States and Russia was inevitable, so they planned to launch nuclear missiles at the United States. But the crew mutinied and sank the K-129 killing everyone on board. That crew sacrificed themselves to prevent a nuclear war.
The captain of the other Soviet sub was Stellan Skarsgard -- from Good Will Hunting, Andor, and a ton of other stuff.
Tom Clancy's work is some of my favorite books I have read. The Jack Ryanverse is so good.
It is a fantastic novel. The science and engineering is so accurate Tom Clancy was pulled in for questioning about his source. They thought he must have had access to classified information which fortunately was not the case. Highly recommend it if you have time for a read. It also does not track the movie very closely so I think it is fair to say they are two very similar but different stories.
Clancy must have been truly sharp. Loved his fiction, but he also wrote non-fiction about military topics.
15:46 In Clancy's novel, the Captain orders his XO to write up orders to promote Jonesy two grades on the spot as a merit promotion, and have the papers ready by the end of the day. The Navy can overrule a Captain, but from other works, it appears they do not and Mancuso's promotion two grades was validated. This was a huge boost to Jonesy's career.
In the book he was a 2nd class, so how can he be promoted to Chief?? If you know his history, don't know if it boosted his career.... The issue is when he leaves the sub, his promotion doesn't follow and no extra pay....to keep it and get paid, he will need to be promoted reg...
6:41 That’s actor *Jeffrey Jones,* he’s in *Beetlejuice* with *Alec Baldwin,* he’s also the Principal in *Ferris Bueller’s Day Off* and he’s a registered sex offender in real life.
Hunt for the Wilderpeople 2016
You’re Sarah Connor before she could do pushups!
Jack Ryan character is later played by Harrison Ford in 2 movies, and Bem Afleck and is also a TV show and other media.
Tom clancy wrote a series of books following Jack Ryan as he is thrust into many military and espionage adventures. Great reads.
To prevent arming in the tube there are devices to ensure the weapon is out of the tube before the arming sequence completes. This is to prevent an erroneous electrical signal from causing weapon to fully arm when it has not left the tube. & If you ram the torpedo before the arming sequence completes, it will not detonate.
Another great submarine movie is "Crimson Tide" with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman, if you're interested in more submarine action :)
What a great movie! My dad and I saw it in the theater when I was just a teenager.
33:12 That’s Stellan Skarsgard, a Swedish actor who you’ve seen before in many films including GOOD WILL HUNTING (1997), the second two PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN films, and THOR (2011) and several other MCU movies.
There is another connection to It.
Stellar disregard plays Captain Tupolev. The Russian captain hunting Ramius.
His son Bill plays penny wise a in the recent adaptation of It.
Another interesting thing about this film is that Fred Thonpson who plays the admiral on the aircraft carrier that Jack goes to before going to the USSe Dallas later became a A member of the US Congress and ran for President.
7:09 Get you somebody who says hi to you the way Mary says hi to Tim Curry 😅
Okay, so Tupolev, the guy that accidently torpedoes his own boat. That's Stellan Skarsgård. Add three decades to his face and you get Shcherbina from Chernobyl. Throw some seaweed on his face and you get Bootstrap Bill from Pirates of the Caribbean. Make him snotty and smart and you get the math prof from Good Will Hunting. I love that guy, dude's been in a *lot.*
Sequels: Patriot Games and Clear And Present Danger are the next two movies, where Harrison Ford takes over as Jack Ryan. They're both really good movies (fair warning, neither of them have anything to do with submarines). Then Ben Affleck took a turn, now I think it's Jim from the Office as Ryan, I haven't been able to keep up.
Sub movies: You already mentioned Das Boot, which is the pinnacle. Crimson Tide is really good. K-19 The Widowmaker was good. U-571 is a good movie, if you can ignore the Americentric bad history that Hollywood gave us.
...and if those movies are too serious for you, there's always Down Periscope... 😆
21:14 That's called a ramp strike. In dialog, the aircraft was damaged by collision with a Soviet aircraft. The ramp is the very start of the carrier's flight deck. Thecairplane came in lower than it should have, and essentially rammed the carrier's stern. The crash is real footage of a real event, from the 1970s. Considering that the landing zone is moving sideways during a pilot's enture aporoach while simultaneously moving away, it is a testament to the tools and training that they are rare events.
This movie gets better and better with multiple viewings. Great reaction
Mary, you probably remember Stellan Skarsgard from Chernobyl. He was Boris.
This is one of my favourite movies of all time
Great movie and a great show about the paranoia during the Cold War.
I also remember listening to the soundtrack on a Discman. I had the Russian crew singing on repeat while reading a book series so long until the Dscman died on me.
You might want to check out another sub movie "Crimson Tide" with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. It's another navy movie that can be quite intense.
Tom Clancy, who wrote the book that this is based on, always did a tremendous amount of research before writing his books. Pretty much every movie that has been made based on his books has been excellent and very much cemented in reality.
I almost agree. My biggest issue with most of the Clancy adaptations is they almost always ignore the core message of the book.
Worst offender has to be Patriot Games. The whole question of the book asks, is Jack Ryan actually a better person than Sean Miller. Answered in the book, by when give the chance Jack does not kill Sean. If the film, Jack just kills him.
It was such a disappointment. But before his death, Tom started demanding more creative control. To try and prevent his message getting lost in the Hollywood's kill fast and don't ask questions mentality of that time.
@@mattmcc72I can totally understand Tom Clancy wanting more creative input. He probably saw how so many of Stephen King's stories got severely changed - sometimes for the worst - and didn't want that to happen to his.
I think this is the film I first noticed Stellan Skarsgard in.
14:00
another situation that taught me a lot, which wouldn't come to effect until much later from this point in time.
when someone you've never seen before comes AT you, with a similar bunch of _someones_ behind them, with neither of them declaring intention, you only have [the space between you both] divided by [the rate of speed of the closest unknown] amount of time to determine whether they're _charging_ or _running._
26:15 Good catch on the use of the different background color on the three submarines, to key you in to **which** boat you're on.
The US did a missile exercise near the Soviet Union in 1984 without warning them. We came within minutes of a Soviet nuclear launch and as happened in 1962, one Soviet officer held back ;-)
John Mc Tiernan... He gave un some amazing movies... PREDATOR, Die Hard, The Hunt Ford Red October. There are a Lot of movies about submarinos, but I think this is the Best. Great cast. Tension, Suspense. Perfect in allá ways
There are two submarine comedies you should react too. First one is "Operation Petticoat", and the second is "Down Periscope".
More serious movies to react too are "Run Silent, Run Deep", "Torpedo Run", "Operation Pacific" and "Das Boot"
