IT can be surprisingly hard to hear an airplane that is approaching. A prop plane is pretty quiet from the front as the is pointed backwards and the prop noise tends to be louder from behind. I've had a few prop planes sneak up on me while watching air shows or the local major airport as a kid.
Yep, magic sounds. Just like when someone pulls a knife away after holding it at someone elses neck, there is that metallic knife sharpening type sound.
I'm pretty sure Interpol just violated more than a few international laws in this scene. Come on Hollywood, Interpol is a glorified international telegram service for police.
This. Interpol has no SWAT/tactical team, no "special agents", no fighter jets, no members qualified to fly on fighter jets of other countries, and no legal power to use deadly force or even make arrests anywhere in the world.
I was thinking the same thing. I am pretty sure they are not allowed to open fire on civilian aircraft, if they are allowed to have weapons/jets at all.
Fun Fact: if you tell those Indian robocallers that the call has been traced and passed to interpol, and to remain at their current location as anyone seen fleeing the building will be shot on sight by recon drones they tend to stop calling . Troll the trolls ;)
For those not attentive to the rest of the world. Due to their experience in being invaded, the Russian system is to design each aircraft to be capable of landing in all situations, and all terrain. They refuse to make aircraft that cannot land, 'rough', as they have actually had aircraft in battle experience their home base taken by ground forces while flying a sortie. They can put down short, and hot on any terrain. The training regimen in the Soviet, and now Russian philosophy of war preparation is that each pilot can do exactly what he does in this movie......land anywhere, and any time. If he further had to land this at night, under fire, in the rain, he'd have the checklists and the training to understand how to attempt it best.
While all this sounds great, and I utterly believe that it's the intended standard, the Russian philosophy of war preparation has been revealed to be somewhat lacking of late.
@@LayneBenofsky You may recall 3 things about WWII. 1) The Winter War. Just like the recent rumors of threats of war with Finland. Putin should remember that in 1939 the Red Army started a war with Finland. It went poorly. So poorly, that after the war, and even having had the Finns join the Nazis in fighting and encircling Leningrad, the Red Army did not go settle and scores with Finland when they had 10 million men at arms. 2) The Red Army performance in the dividing of Poland with the Nazis was again, so poor, that the Nazis gained confidence that their planned war with Russia was surely going to succeed. 3) The first several months of the war were a constant disaster for the Red Army. 3 million prisoners, no practical victories int eh field, and the only real assistance they got was from the Raspitsa, weather, and the early, and catastrophic winter. Stalin got the turn around they needed with the chance finding of some men who could take command. Putin appears to be choking on 'Yes!' men, and does not have any leaders. If he ever finds a leader among his military, then they can turn this around in days. I hope such a thing does not happen.
@@LayneBenofsky The Russian philosophy of war is fine...when they follow it and don't screw up maintaining the equipment. Political interference from the top in the planning and massive corruption at the bottom (and sides and top, tbh) are leading to a result in Ukraine where the Russians aren't fighting according to their established doctrine. Trust me, you could use General Zhukov's corpse as a turbine that could power everything west of the Urals at his undead outrage at the Russian army's screw-ups.
Given that they're illegally transporting weapons I don't think safety is a requirement, I don' t think there's ANY safety requirements when you work outside the law.

@@alecjones4135 nope. Still got sound but, again, louder from side n rear. Experience. Backthen, one could walk into the runway from the main road at our airport. Now they put fences around it.
I have seen this behavior once in my life! I think it's about an instinct.... During a big World Cup surfing competition in Germany suddenly strong winds arose. One famous surfing brand had a HUGE red inflated cube (😉) fixed on the beach with sand anchors. However they did not hold and this cube (length 4m) cut lose and rolled over the beach. People were running away from it.... but not to the side. 😂

and that is something that is possible the general could claim that this is a "military operation" sanctioned by the United States and any more attacks on the aircraft would provoke retaliation
And while it does suck but it's true the US does indeed a hire criminals to try and move armaments and material around
Because sometimes they want to keep their involvement as clandestine as possible
Yeah...
The chase begins again Jack Valentine……….LORD OF WAR!!!!!!!!
2:30 he grunts like the combine in half life 2
this is almost as good as Gimley, Manitoba where they landed on an abandoned tarmac in the middle of a flea market Sunday!!!!
wasn't part of the airport at Gimly converted to a racetrack?
Yes, they were racing at the time the Gimli Glider landed.
@@bradsteele7637 Has that been made into a movie? If not, it should be. However, if it is/was made, all hope would be lost getting the US off the Imperial measurement system and onto metric.
@@bradsteele7637 Yes, I have been to that track! They were not racing at that moment. Later that day I went to Lake Winnipeg and accidentally fell in. Caught a cold that lasted two weeks.
best movie ever
yes
Agree
The baby at the end is icing on the cake.
Ah yes. Graduates from the Prometheus School of Running Away From Things
"He finished 42 out of 43 in Soviet Pilot School." The only thing I take away from this is, don't f*ck with Soviet Pilots O.O
graduating is graduating, which means you're good enough
Goddamn, I can relate to this! Whenever I run down the interstate in the flow zone, these babies keep popping up in the middle of the road ruining my drift!!!
Good thing there weren't any potholes on that road.
Love how the tires "skid" on a dirt road.
It's not the tires, it is a built in feature of the wheels. Hollywood knows better.
How the fuck do you not hear that plane from miles away, let alone right behind you at low altitude?
and then proceed to try and outrun the damn plane on the road. instead of running to the side and diving. Dumb movie
@@bobbyjoe1111 the movie the great. The people not so much
@@bobbyjoe1111 It's a perfect reproduction of africans behaviou: no thinking
They were distracted by the camera crew.....
They were distracted by their standard of living.
In Africa the Prometheus school of running away is mandatory.
just keep in mind its a movie. i'd bet most africans living in war-torn countries are smarter about staying alive in these circumstances than most americans...but yeah. the "running in line with the threat" thing is maddening.
@@aaronking5076 Would you also say that africans are smarter than indians?
@@cashewnuttel9054 you need to learn to read.
Now that's how you set someone up to get a favor later
This is how you get closer to arming those remaining unarmed people.
2;47 poor cow; bbq tonight baby.
Heres a tip for y’all when I large moving object is screaming up your rear, run perpendicular to said object - do not remain directly in its path like a poorly scripted movie extra.
Maybe the side of the road was muddy and they didn't want to get dirty?
I laughed when I saw the RPG with the rocket already in it. I know its a prop, but if you're brave enough to travel with an RPG like that (hopefully with the safety cover on the warhead) you deserve what comes next man.
0:07 How this got past the editing process is the real mystery.
Yuri Blyat 😂
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Interpol (the loose organization of law enforcement agencies designed mainly to share intel) doesn't maintain a combat-ready air force. I love this movie, but scenes like this are fucking lunacy XD
Thats a jet trainer anyway, not a combat aircraft.
@@joestevenson5568 Are jet trainers usually equipped with live rounds?
I think it's a host nation aircraft
@@Robert-hz9bj some countries equips this ones with guns because they have only trainers. But yeah in this case its lunacy
Every last scene in this movie is lunacy. It has no restraint.
To quote the movie, Heavy Metal: "Oh wow! Good landing, man."
Wow interpol has jurisdiction everywhere and they command even foreign air forces
I can't know you right now; it's not a good time.
- If you have this number, just relax. Roll with the punches and I'll protect you from the walls in due time.
Wrong title, he says I can’t KNOW you right now
Yeah, this video is click bait.
First rule of air safety: have fun
Interpol agents watching this film "When did we get an air force?"
Why did those people run forward instead of running aside? Did they think they can run faster than the plane is landing? And didn't they hear the sound of the landing plane before it literally touched their heads?
1. Instinct.
2. The sound is louder on the side n rear. Not so from the front and at a distance.
@@eleethtahgra7182 #2 is only true if the plane is traveling near the speed of sound which it wasn't.
@@alecjones4135 nope. Still got sound but, again, louder from side n rear. Experience. Backthen, one could walk into the runway from the main road at our airport. Now they put fences around it.
I have seen this behavior once in my life! I think it's about an instinct....
During a big World Cup surfing competition in Germany suddenly strong winds arose. One famous surfing brand had a HUGE red inflated cube (😉) fixed on the beach with sand anchors. However they did not hold and this cube (length 4m) cut lose and rolled over the beach. People were running away from it.... but not to the side. 😂
"That is why we pay you for. To take the heat. Now stop calling me.."
When the "L-39 trainer" armed with "rocket pods" starts shooting "rifle caliber" "tracer bullets" at a "fire rate" of less than "500 rounds per minute" XD
Or when Interpol, a law enforcement cooperation agency With no enforcement powers nor ground agents starts flying fighter jets in Africa...
Like you know.
@@barrygoldwater2441 que?
I like how no one notices a giant cargo plane falling from the sky
I still believe that mother at the end was just trying to get a bit of insurance money by leaving her child in the road 😂
This village must be the secret location for the Prometheus School of Running Away From Things. Sideways people! Sideways!
pretty cool scene but they should have just resumed their original course. just diving a bit caused the jets to go away :D:D
He said "I can't know you right now".
0:46 the best line in the movie 😂
They are firing Bulletz at our Bulletz! 🤣🤣
Lord of war is as we swedes say a "transport stretch" for the actors and also for the public. Nobody get exited. Everybody waiting for another Hollywood film.
In many ways arming the locals was probably the best thing he did for peace
funny to hear tire screeching on dusty road :)
The guy that graduates 42nd out of 43 in MD school is still a Doctor
2:27 Loaded RPG? Why?
Bizzare choice to light them up and then say they were warned
i like that the rocket pods can fire bullets in this movie
One of the descendants of the people running on the road grew up to be a Weyland Corp Representive on the USCSS Prometheus
Looks like all the people on the ground went to the prometheus school of running
It would seem I need to watch this whole flick.
What a neat scene!
BEST SCENE
excellent movie, just excellent. He played a Russian-American just fantastically, I would know, I'm one myself lolol
the movie is epic
Cage was perfect in this role
All of those people on the road were top of their class in the prometheus school of running away from things.
Appropriate movie for March 2022
Massive,noisy aircraft about to land on dirt road with people walking along it, seemingly oblivious to it's presence. Lands directly behind them, so continue running in a straight line, directly in the path of said aircraft.This is straight out of the Prometheus school of escape plans.
Interpol is literally not allowed to fly fighter jets and shoot down planes. Lol.
theyre firing bullets at our bullets
Plane incoming!! Quick, instead of running away from it, run in a straight line directly in front!!!
"They're firing boolets at our boolets"
"Colonel Southern" was played by Donald Sutherland.
They only had to do 5 takes before they finally got the plane to stop in the right spot.
