Isn't Volcano the movie where they stop a river of lava flowing through the city with a line of trucks/buses and fire trucks spraying it with water? I was about 9 when I saw that movie and knew that wouldn't stop lava. Dante's Peak is the far superior volcano film
Yes, that film was Volcano, another "volcano" based film that also came out in 1997- it was odd, films used to come out in pairs, like Armageddon and Deep Impact(2 asteroid-based films) in 1998. The truly laughable thing about Volcano though is there is no volcano in Volcano! It really should have been called Lava.
It's well known that "James Bond" is just a codename used by several MI6 agents -First one was David Niven from the '67 Casino Royale -Then his nephew Jimmy took the name; briefly it was some guy named Mallory -Then it was Simon Templar, also called the Saint -Some time after that, Remington Steele (who does not exist) took up the mantle
I love this film 😁 also that old lady jumping in the super heated water had me shook for months as a youngster when I first seen it...... Fuuuucckkkk that!
I saw it when I was a teenager and all I kept thinking is "OMG, you annoying bint! You served no purpose jumping in!" and then watching her pass by the dock she could climb on to walk a further 10 feet in this "acid"... It was pretty comical.
That was the only time during a film & in a theatre, when my heart pounded & I trembled in distress & horror, during a disturbing scene. I love this film, but I never want to see that scene again. That's testament to her spot on acting. Also, wasn't it acid water? Because it was corroding the boat, hence why she jumped in to pull it to shore quicker?
Three things--1-The acid was corroding the boat, so she jumped in to pull them to shore quicker. 2-Acid doesn't usually corrode you into a puddle of goop & viscera in a matter of seconds, it takes several minutes or even hours depending on the type of acid. That's apparently more realistic than what Hollywood may typically depict. 3-Didn't the dock collapse when she was pawing around in agony & grazed it?
What would have happened if she jumped in and her feet couldn't reach the bottom? Ever try to pull a boat full of people with no traction? They were mere feet away from shore and though the script may have said they weren't going to make it, visually we can see they were going to be fine. But I'm not really saying you are wrong for finding it frightening or anything, I'm simply pointing out that what was scary to you at your age came across as funny at my age. Maybe I have a sick sense of humor- actually, there's no maybe about it. I do. And I found annoying granny character who put everyone in danger sacrificing herself only to achieve sweet fa and make everything they did a complete waste of time... I found it morbidly amusing. Would have been better if she hadn't touched bottom though.
The effects are amazing though, and done practically. Still really impressive ILM work and holds up. When people say "why don't movies look as good?" Miniatures. All those cars on the bridge that ashes away were miniatures, for example. Not CGI.
@@deepfriedbrains__437 They didn't even have the decency to give technobabble. It was just "It's okay, the engine has a snorkel" and then he points towards the hood where you can, I shit you not, see a motherfucking SNORKEL sticking up. 🤦♀️
"goes into detail" Dude are you sure you're remembering this movie right? He just said "the engine has a snorkel" and pointed at it. That was their justification for why a fucking Chevy truck could be almost COMPLETELY SUBMERGED and come through the other side just fine. Because it had a motherfucking snorkel. 🤣
What about the claustrophobic scene in the mine when the ceiling of the unstoppable Suburban starts to cave in on him!? It's the best part of the ending!
Oh I love this movie. It brings back so many good memories from childhood. I still remember going back to rent it once more, some 20 years ago. Those big and funny vhs tapes. The square cars. The sun of a 90's hot afternoon. Damn, time is going too fast.
Well guess he tries to make his classes less boring. Afterall this is based on real event when half of the mountain practically blew off and devastation it caused.
I missed the first two movies, but I literally felt the vibe, felt their pain, felt their suffering, felt their agony, felt the cringe, felt the death... I knew it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen lol
2:35 This made me laugh, reminded me of the segment on DP #351 @ 2:37:15 when you guys talked about that old 60's Folgers commercial, about wives making bad coffee for their husbands.
I was tempted to snidely remark "of course it centers on a relationship, its a post-Titanic disaster film!", BUT it turns out Dante's Peak actually pre-dates Titanic by nearly a year; Dante's Peak having come out in February of 1997, whereas Titanic didn't hit (no pun intended) until December of 1997. See, it pays to do research before leaving UA-cam comments. I am a bit disappointed you neglected to mention the "JavaJavaJava, Hot Coff-Eeee!" Guy. Definitely a highlight of the first hour and fifteen.
One point of criticism. The suburban was able to cross the river because it had that weird hood mounted exhaust pipe. You can actually get those, I believe. Makes it harder for flooding or whatever to stop your car.
Under the Volcano based on Malcolm Lowry's novel about the alcoholic descent of a former British diplomat in Mexico is the best volcano movie despite not having a volcano in it.
The one thing I remember from this movie is people fighting to get to into a helicopter to escape, and then volcanic ash getting sucked into the engine. That bit was cool This is the kind of movie where you can watch the action scenes on UA-cam and you'll have seen everything worth seeing
But why wouldn't James Bond choose a single mom with 2 kids who is also a politician as his life partner? Seems like a great life goal to me... Plus bonus points for being there when she watches her mom horrifically die.
You're right about the pyroclastic flow - obviously modelled on Mount St Helens and also Bezymianny in Kamchatka, it's a directed or lateral blast pushed out by high-pressure gas with some gravity-assist so it will get to 400mph (or so). And surely the gas tank would have exploded on that lava flow, which in any case is implausible during a Mount St Helens type of eruption. Do a search on 'eruption types' and confirm.
The reason he got through the river was actually because the engine on his truck had a snorkel so it was sucking in oxygen from above the water. Everyone else who drove in after him drowned their engines with water flooding in through their air intakes.
My dad bought this movie on DVD right after it came out...I don't think he had seen it in a theater, but he actually watched it more than once at our house...
I use to watch this channel all the time messed up my u tube account couldn't remember ur u tube there are so many movie reviewers but ur one of the best
I'm waiting for the 'Cinema Sins' outfit to get to this film, which I do like as mild escapism (including the love interest which is at least pleasant) whilst understanding there are problems with its less plausible aspects!
I highly recommend the Norwegian flick The Wave (Bølgen) from 2015. The plot is quite similar to Dante's Peak except that it's about a tsunami but it's really well made and has some beautiful scenic shots. It's not reinventing the wheel, the plot is a bit predictable (there's only so much you can do with a disaster flick) but I really enjoyed it.
Paul is so calm and collected when he does videos by himself, it's a stark contrast to the energetic, almost manic comedy he deals out when he's with TJ and Scotty. This is a gentleman with range as well as good taste.
Hahaha, great ending to the video. I saw this in the theater when it came out but the only thing I clearly remember is everyone panicking trying to get out of a high school gymnasium
I always vaguely remembered watching this when I was little, but completely forgot there was even a volcano. I just had nightmares about my grandma dying in an acid lake, lmao, so I guess the movie scared at least one person. 😂 Had a hilarious time rewatching it when I was older.
This movie and Volcano is still pretty good for those who have nostalgia for 90's action disaster movies and such but I mean it's not the best disaster movie ever. I would still recommend people try it out.
The old lady jumping in to pull the boat is the one part of the movie I never forgot. I mean volcano movies all pretty jokey considering we know where most of them are & can predict reasonably when they'll erupt. You need to have idiots who refuse to leave their volcanic mountain cabins since it's morons who choose to live in flood, tornado, and other natural disaster areas. I saw pompeii on cable and it is way worse, though the ending is equally ridiculous
I've only just seen it, on Netflix, and enjoyed it, but I'm worried about those kids. They SEEM at the end to be pretty unfazed by all the horrors they've experienced, but they're hardly starting their journey through PTSD, in my opinion. I don't like to sound pessimistic, but I foresee years of nightmares, bed-wetting, anti-social behaviour, drug and alcohol abuse, unless they get immediate psychiatric help.
I always loved this movie. Maybe its just nostalgia. But the scene with, Ruth? the grandma makes perfect sense. They weren't going to make it in time. She jumped out and pushed them to safety. Notice that before they even get off the dock, its already almost completely under the acid. If anything, you should be wondering why the fuck they were able to row with a shirt and not get acid all over their hands.
Believe it or not, we watched this movie in my high school Earth Science class. We were supposed to analyze and critique the scientific accuracy of all the volcano stuff. If the story wasn't bad enough, the science in the movie makes next to no goddamn sense either!
Isn't Volcano the movie where they stop a river of lava flowing through the city with a line of trucks/buses and fire trucks spraying it with water? I was about 9 when I saw that movie and knew that wouldn't stop lava. Dante's Peak is the far superior volcano film

It really should have been called Lava.
They tried stopping the lava with baracades off the highway.
"A deep desire for hot magma action" a Cynics new slogan.
Paul, show us an eruption on PornHub and we'll give you $200
I love how abruptly this video ended. LMAO.
It ends just as abruptly as the movie.
That's not James Bond. That's Remington Steele.
Worse than Woody Allen?
It's well known that "James Bond" is just a codename used by several MI6 agents
-First one was David Niven from the '67 Casino Royale
-Then his nephew Jimmy took the name; briefly it was some guy named Mallory
-Then it was Simon Templar, also called the Saint

Skylarmancer PB was the 1990s Jimmy bond. Give you credit since your old enough to remember him from Remington Steel, guess Roger Moore was your guy
looks a lot like some pierce brosnab...

LOL all I remember about this film was the old lady melting scene. I liked the LA volcano movie better:P

I always say the same, less cgi more practical effects, everybody wins
I miss puppets. We need Jim Hanson more than ever now
The raging volcano in Harry's pants! 😂🤣😃
The movie goes into detail about how he was able to drive across the water but hey we can't have that in this review
Something that actually makes sense, or just techno-babbel?
@@deepfriedbrains__437 They didn't even have the decency to give technobabble. It was just "It's okay, the engine has a snorkel" and then he points towards the hood where you can, I shit you not, see a motherfucking SNORKEL sticking up. 🤦♀️

An engine snorkel is a real thing, though.
Time for a pitch wars! Volcano edition
What about the claustrophobic scene in the mine when the ceiling of the unstoppable Suburban starts to cave in on him!? It's the best part of the ending!
Where are the movies you guys watched recently???
Review serial mom
Oh I love this movie. It brings back so many good memories from childhood. I still remember going back to rent it once more, some 20 years ago. Those big and funny vhs tapes. The square cars. The sun of a 90's hot afternoon. Damn, time is going too fast.
Damn it you should be so much more youtube famous! Love your reviews brother!
My science teacher shows this every semester
ThatWasACoolTrick you just proved my point lol
Well guess he tries to make his classes less boring. Afterall this is based on real event when half of the mountain practically blew off and devastation it caused.
@@petesmith9475 This movie was actually inspired by the 1980's Mount Saint Helens major eruption in Skamania County, Washington.
So another shite science teacher then..
I liked the old Cinema For Cynics format more than this format. I hope it’s temporary.
"dont waste your time, dont watch it" Absolutely loved that closer lol
Just wanted to let you know that the *Cynics Vs. D0GSH!T TRIPLE FEATURE!* is still *BLOCKED* by BlueSkyFilm.
CallistoN7 That's what happened? Blocked? Fuck that shit. I was crying my ass to death to Terror Tunes!
I didn't even get to see Terror Tunes! I had to clock out during Evoyeur. Figures one of the best things they ever did would get blocked.
By the end of that stream, I felt like I was suffering alongside Paul and TJ, yet I loved the hell out of it.
I missed the first two movies, but I literally felt the vibe, felt their pain, felt their suffering, felt their agony, felt the cringe, felt the death... I knew it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen lol
So the content that the fans paid over $1500 for is now lost to time? Cool.
I wish you were still doing CinemaForCynics. I love your takes on movies. I miss it so much.
Holy duck your reviews are so fun. Do more of THIS Paulie
Love ur videos man always funny and entertaining as hell cant wait for the next review !!😁😁
2:35 This made me laugh, reminded me of the segment on DP #351 @ 2:37:15 when you guys talked about that old 60's Folgers commercial, about wives making bad coffee for their husbands.
Thank god these small reviews are back. Its litterally what i watched all new years eve
That wrap up at the end was amazing
I was tempted to snidely remark "of course it centers on a relationship, its a post-Titanic disaster film!", BUT it turns out Dante's Peak actually pre-dates Titanic by nearly a year; Dante's Peak having come out in February of 1997, whereas Titanic didn't hit (no pun intended) until December of 1997. See, it pays to do research before leaving UA-cam comments.
I am a bit disappointed you neglected to mention the "JavaJavaJava, Hot Coff-Eeee!" Guy. Definitely a highlight of the first hour and fifteen.
Fuck yes, CfC is back with a movie review. Hopefully the channel is back in full swing, this was one of my favorites a few months ago.
One point of criticism. The suburban was able to cross the river because it had that weird hood mounted exhaust pipe. You can actually get those, I believe. Makes it harder for flooding or whatever to stop your car.
You should watch Joe Versus the Volcano. I hear that movie is pretty good.
I didn't like that movie.
Under the Volcano based on Malcolm Lowry's novel about the alcoholic descent of a former British diplomat in Mexico is the best volcano movie despite not having a volcano in it.
The one thing I remember from this movie is people fighting to get to into a helicopter to escape, and then volcanic ash getting sucked into the engine. That bit was cool
This is the kind of movie where you can watch the action scenes on UA-cam and you'll have seen everything worth seeing
It's not the same without Chauncey :(
But why wouldn't James Bond choose a single mom with 2 kids who is also a politician as his life partner? Seems like a great life goal to me... Plus bonus points for being there when she watches her mom horrifically die.
Great, great choice of a movie to cover after a long heiadous
How did the lava water burn thru the metal boat and engine but not his T shirt?
Linda hamilton as a normal non tough woman is really weird
I wasn't gonna watch this shit, but now I want to see a cool volcano movie..thanks
You're right about the pyroclastic flow - obviously modelled on Mount St Helens and also Bezymianny in Kamchatka, it's a directed or lateral blast pushed out by high-pressure gas with some gravity-assist so it will get to 400mph (or so).

Well if I shouldn't watch this or Volcano when I want to watch a volcano movie... what else am I supposed to watch!?
That’s a pretty cool background, Paul.
The reason he got through the river was actually because the engine on his truck had a snorkel so it was sucking in oxygen from above the water. Everyone else who drove in after him drowned their engines with water flooding in through their air intakes.
Don't watch it?! It's amazing!! You left out the cool exposed arm bone part too :D Enjoyed the review either way though
Dude your shades are badass!
That was a great review.
Every sentence..
Outstanding.
Can you do a review for the 1996 film Thinner?
As much as I despise CGI in action movies, I have to say that they at least got it good enough in this one.
My dad bought this movie on DVD right after it came out...I don't think he had seen it in a theater, but he actually watched it more than once at our house...
Where's the Neon Demon review? 6 months ago you said it was on your list?
I use to watch this channel all the time messed up my u tube account couldn't remember ur u tube there are so many movie reviewers but ur one of the best
I'm waiting for the 'Cinema Sins' outfit to get to this film, which I do like as mild escapism (including the love interest which is at least pleasant) whilst understanding there are problems with its less plausible aspects!
I want those glasses
Looks like Mount St. Helens May 18, 1980 ?
“The pyroclastic cloud, not the suburban.” 😂😂
Isn't the Volcano in the movie Mt. Saint Helens?
I saw this in my eighth grade science class. The only part I remembered was the acid lake.
Where's the last livestream? I want to watch that shit.
Hey hey, what about the Dean Cain classic "Airplane vs Volcano"?
I highly recommend the Norwegian flick The Wave (Bølgen) from 2015. The plot is quite similar to Dante's Peak except that it's about a tsunami but it's really well made and has some beautiful scenic shots. It's not reinventing the wheel, the plot is a bit predictable (there's only so much you can do with a disaster flick) but I really enjoyed it.
Interesting glasses. the entire time I was watching, I thought you were looking at something in the upper right corner of the studio.
Dude. Your movie reviews are the fucking best. BRAVO! 👏
Well done! Your reviews are well written and philosophical. Peace.
I remember the scene of the mother in law half in the acid disturbed my young mind for many days. Thanks for the reminder.
‘Not the Chevy, hence the point’ 😂hats off sir
The Devil at 4 O'Clock (1961). It stars Spencer Tracy and Frank Sinatra.
I used to watch this with my grandfather on VHS
Paul is so calm and collected when he does videos by himself, it's a stark contrast to the energetic, almost manic comedy he deals out when he's with TJ and Scotty. This is a gentleman with range as well as good taste.
Treaded Water Don't tell me you thought Haze was a good game...
The only thing I'm stating is that I thought Haze had good box art.
Joe VS The Volcano!
Hahaha, great ending to the video. I saw this in the theater when it came out but the only thing I clearly remember is everyone panicking trying to get out of a high school gymnasium

0:47 Wait, wasn’t Pompeii released in 2014, not 2017?
Always LOVED and always WILL love this movie!! Your awesome and have a great taste in movies!! Yeahhh! Hopefully you review Armageddon?!
I love Paul's Ego Movie Reviews
I feel that “Bond pants eruptions” joke was a missed opportunity
The movie that gave the song "row row row your boat" entirely new context, especially when sung in cannon. X_x
Watched this once a week when I was a kid and will definitely pop in the old vhs tape once or twice a year
At least it had Linda Hamilton. Btw how's about a review of Evil Dead 2?
This movie was filmed in my hometown.
Is it Pauls Ego or Paul Zego
Granny leg stumps is always a win
Love those shades Paul’s who !!! Badass !!!
So, no rush, but... how far are you w/Lucha Underground?
High Pot Thesis
Probably not at all
Season 4 is almost here!
FINALLY!! After a month
I can't stop laughing at that old lady lmao
It's coffee time :D
This movie and Volcano is still pretty good for those who have nostalgia for 90's action disaster movies and such but I mean it's not the best disaster movie ever. I would still recommend people try it out.
The grandma scene freaked me out as a kid.
Why did you stop making these reviews, Paul? You should make a lot of these
The old lady jumping in to pull the boat is the one part of the movie I never forgot. I mean volcano movies all pretty jokey considering we know where most of them are & can predict reasonably when they'll erupt. You need to have idiots who refuse to leave their volcanic mountain cabins since it's morons who choose to live in flood, tornado, and other natural disaster areas. I saw pompeii on cable and it is way worse, though the ending is equally ridiculous
So basically this was an unsatisfactory pre cum of a film
I've only just seen it, on Netflix, and enjoyed it, but I'm worried about those kids. They SEEM at the end to be pretty unfazed by all the horrors they've experienced, but they're hardly starting their journey through PTSD, in my opinion. I don't like to sound pessimistic, but I foresee years of nightmares, bed-wetting, anti-social behaviour, drug and alcohol abuse, unless they get immediate psychiatric help.
I remember having to watch this in some science class in high school.

One of my favorite 90s movies 🍿
*The LA volcano one is better*
Guys, thank you for making my day... no my life. You are awesome.
Have you seen Joe vs the volcano!
funniest of Paul's reviews
2012 has a volcano in it...a small supporting role however
Believe it or not, we watched this movie in my high school Earth Science class. We were supposed to analyze and critique the scientific accuracy of all the volcano stuff. If the story wasn't bad enough, the science in the movie makes next to no goddamn sense either!
Paul is just wild about Harry
"Pompeii" was released in 2014, not 2017...
How about a Pitch Wars about how to make a good film about a volcano
