4:14 Seriously, how did this never become a meme? "You will receive the Order of Lenin for this, Captain." By frikking Tim Curry, the man we would later come to know for escaping into the one place uncorrupted by capitalism......SPAAAACEEEE!!!
Also when he and Ryan are communicating sub-to-sub via the periscopes, and Ryan sends the second message _“if defection is intent, then set course for Laurentian Abyssal”_ Ramius was in shock and disbelief for a moment, realizing he had met “the right shot”, and not “some buckaroo”, that the Americans had actually figured it all out.
The thought has occurred to me that Petrov was exceptionally brave in stating his opinion on the _Red October_ having been sabotaged - confronting one of the most experienced submarine commanders in your navy is daunting
2:19 - 3:00 I love this part of the track. Even though it's later revealed the reactor accident was just a ruse to get the crew off of Red October, the score does a great job giving the audience the impression there really was an emergency.
I watched this in the theater. The tension in this scene was palpable. And the first time viewing, you don't pay attention to James Earl Jones' hands clasped on top of the console - so when he leans over and detonates and says "You heard it strike the submarine and I was never here.." everyone in the theater exhaled at once..it was a pretty long film and there was a mad dash for the men's room - one of the few times there was a line - because no one dared to get up during the movie for fear of missing something.
I felt like I just returned from morning PT (I was in Air Force ROTC in college at the time ... knee injury kept me from going active) after watching it the first time lol
What I find hilarious is that the USSR could/would never publicly admit that Ramius was not only defecting but stealing the Red October. So in light of the way it appeared to the men, they would HAVE to award him The Order Of Lenin!
Precisely. It wasn't mentioned in the movie but in the book Ramius' letter to Uncle Padorin was the subject of a misinformation campaign as to whether the letter was authentic or not. Same with the orders to Cuba. The Politburo were not sure of Ramius' intentions. Was he defecting, or, had someone got into the chain of orders and issued false orders to Ramius to head for Cuba?
In the book the FBI was able to turn a mole and have him feed disinformation back to the Soviets that planted the suggestion this may have been a rogue Polish operation to sow chaos within fleet communincations, both the letter and the orders being planted and Ramius was an unknowing pawn who sacrificed his ship rather than let it fall into American hands.
How do you get a crew off a nuclear submarine capable of living on the floor of the Arctic Ocean for more than a year, quite roomy for a sub and comes with a sauna? Turn the sub into a floating Chernobyl. Would certainly make me want to leave.
Martabak Gaming what's they don't tell you in the film, is the officers had altered the gieger counters so the crew knew about the radiation leak in the book! Read the book it's a great read
James Robert, Exactly. which is why this scene is condensed. In the book's reality the removing of the crew and pretending the Red October was destroyed, happened days before Tupolev's Alfa came across them later, and Ryan was never aboard Dallas. The condensing of the scenes and alteration of the method by which they faked Red October's destruction creates a major goof however. The air dropped Mk-46 torpedo launched from the Seahawk, cannot be command detonated. Once launched, it is on its own until it hits a target, or runs out of fuel. There is no control over the torpedo once launched, and options regarding run and search pattern must be set prior to drop.
Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a Russian submarine is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Admiral Greer. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped to trace that submarine's last known position, let alone find the damn boat outright... (starts choking)
Fun fact: that frigate used in this scene was the same frigate my dad served on. Found out that this was not the real Ruben James, but it WAS in the story meant to be the one and only Ruben James!
@3:54 Look at Borodin's (Sam Neil) expression after relaying the American Frigate's message. You see him crack a smile for a bit as though he's realizing for the first time that this defection scheme might actually work but than he has to go back into character when turns towards Ramius.
Of the officers, he was the most enthusiastic about actually going to America. For Ramius, it was about making a statement to the USSR and the movie never shows us the motivations of the other officers.
Yep, give credit to your beloved Force all you want. But it was Chuck Norris who detonated that torpedo with his bare teeth, then jumped away faster than the explosion could expand.
Like all the great con men! He let the Dr. think it was the Dr.'s idea to evacuate the ship, and since the was the only officer to make it back, he would report that it HAD to be real. "The captain didn't want to surface, it was MY idea!" Poor doc, didn't realize that he was being played throughout THE ENTIRE FREAKING MOVIE!
1:42..the look that Ramius's (Sean Connery) gives while the Doctor (Tim Curry) is giving his rant about sabotage. it is almost the look of , see i told you he would act this way.
I've always had a bit of sympathy for Tim Curry's character. Although he's a bit nosy, trying to insinuate himself into conversations where he's not welcome, his human concern about the rank-and-file guys on the sub is quite touching. Raimius' tendency to readily dismiss the doctor seems a bit unfair, not taking into account the doctor's sincere interest in the lives and safety of the crew. That said, Raimius probably (and rightfully) could foresee that the doctor might fold under pressure, not a quality sought after in this airtight (pardon the pun) group conspiracy to defect.
This was the movie that got me interested in naval history, and in particular, the Cold War era Soviet navy. Looking back at that scenario now, after all I learned, it's kinda scary how big a fear this type of scenario was for Soviet submariners. Reactor accidents and radiation leakage on board Soviet submarines had occurred a few times, many of which lead to deaths. This situation would have been the culmination of their worst fears. Though their would have been many reasons why faking it wouldn't have worked.
If anything, you're underestimating just how frequent of an occurrence it was in Soviet subs. They had at least 5 sinkings and at least 2 dozen fires and reactor leaks. Their build quality and safety record was BAD!
Why wouldn't a fake emergency be effective? If the alarms are going off for a massive radiation leak, all anyone wants to do is get the hell out. After the fact, inconsistencies might become obvious - like the fact that no one had radiation poisoning - but in the moment, it would be a great way to get everyone out.
That smirk at 3:56 though. When the XO knew the plan would work out without a hitch - only for one Captain Tupolev and a cook with a gun to ruin his day.
I kind of like some of the subtleties of acting in this; most particular Sean Connery playing a realistic officer with not incredible skills at acting, including with a dramatic overreaction to the sight of the destroyer, as its fairly clearly not intended to be well performed, but rather to show the captain is playing things up. And the doctor's stringent protection of the crew and genuine respect for his commanding officer.
He didn't seem to over react to the American ship at all, he seemed calculated like a Soviet officer would be...which played into his scheme to defect.
The first time I saw this movie, I took the prologue giving the "official" fate of _Red October_ at face value, so this scene made me terribly, terribly anxious. Probably made it more memorable, even if it was a viewer mistake.
It would have been interesting if that opening message had left out the postscript indicating that "what you are about to see never officially happened". It would have been an opportunity to mislead the audience about the ending in a more deliberate way.
@@jimdandy8119 if you ever heard of the movie "the thing" from 1982 you would throw up all your organs after seeing the CGI they used for the 2011 prequel. Personally i dont think the prequel was that bad except for one or two plot holes, what really killed the movie was in the 1982 version they used practical effects or something like they used contraptions and almost no CGI but in the prequel, every single scene was either green screen or CGI.
And now all Perrys are gone.. tought aparently they are considering refurbushing 10 and getting them back into servide.. aparently the USN realiced that without them they got no ocean going light escort warship as from the Burkes it goes down directly to the LCSs wich are not ocean going.. and sending full destroyers to do patrols in Taiwan is complex and expensive.. a frigate is the perfect ship for that role and they dont have any now.. There is still 24 variants operative in other navies.. tought Spain will retire theirs with new F110 class frigates in 10 years
Yeah the Perry always had rather sporty lines, the reason for the lean to the side is the Perry has a single shaft with variable prop. So when the ship is running at speed it will literally lean over due to the torque from the shaft and prop!
Now understand commander that Proton torpedo did not self destruct you heard it hit the hull of the Rebel vessel, and I was never here. *mechanical breathing intensifies*
You just GOTTA READ THE BOOK - C'MON! You cannot understand properly this scene without reading it! Clancy NAILED it with his "story" about the fierce rivalry between the GRU and the KGB - and their respective agents onboard - there had been already some previous "sabotages" on the submarine and - after weeks spent at sea, the paranoia starts getting into the men SLOWLY - LIKE POISON - which is much worse than just "SUDDEN FEAR" for which they may be prepared mentally. Ramius makes a lil' "magic trick" with the crew personsonal dosimeters, and starts spreading rumours onboard about a radioactive leak! - BY THAT POINT - they already want all to just abandon that fuckin' (in their minds) "cursed" ship - if it had been a "sudden" event they might have decided to SINK the ship with themselves onboard. This way Ramius manipulates their fears to the point of breaking their will and training, and - at the end - it all gives Ramius the possibility to get rid of his crew WILLINGLY - which is the BIGGEST PROBLEM - not only without starting a "war" onboard, but also it gives the men the impression the captain & officers did their duty, so when the crew returns home they will tel the story that RAMIUS WANTS THEM TO TELL. Damn, Clancy's storyline was BRILLIANT, while here it's...idk!...a lil' bit "risible"...
@@bustosadrian Trying to do entire book in the one movie would elevated it to the level of the Kurosawa's 7 Samurais which in the original cut was 8 hours long... 😳
It is fucking amazing how many prominent and excellent actors they had in this movie. No wonder it’s a classic. Probably had a shitload of money they could’ve spent on these actors lmao.
If you think about it, a reactor emergency on a Soviet submarine was a very real possibility and valid fear, Soviet reactors weren't exactly known for safety and reliability.
They were prepared for the opening shots of NUCLEAR COMBAT with those DAMN RUSKIE BASTARDS! (Please imagine that in Slim Pickens character from Doctor Strangelove as he opened his attack plan R instructions.)
Break out the rafts. Lash them to the deck. We'll use them as shelters until the fleet arrives. One of my favorite lines. That and most things in here don't reach too well to bullets.
Navy Reservist performing his requisite two weeks of active duty every year., this time at NAVSTA Long Beach (no longer active). At quarters (morning assembly of sailors), we were informed of the movie producers of that movie looking for sailors to serve as extras in these scenes. With my two years of Russian, I should have been a natural for a speaking role. But everybody volunteering for this duty had to use up part of his "30 days per year leave time", of which reserve sailors had none. So no opportunity to contribute to this particular evolution.
No flag officer or Captain of any naval warship would scuttle his ship, especially in times of peace, with anyone but the Captain on board. Even in the movie the Captain would order his crew to repel boarders and signal his command of what was happening, or his crew would grow suspicious, but it's a good movie.
The crew should have gone suspicious when their own military fired a live torpedo at them. Besides, even if a sub is enforcing radio silence, it still has the ability to receive communications, meaning the Communication Department would been hearing The Soviet Command SCREAMING for a response over unsecure lines. But this is a movie.
Notice how, at 3:10, Sam Neil's character (the First Officer) would normally be scanning the entire horizon for surface ships. But instead he's concentrating on one heading, because he knows that's where the Americans are supposed to be..
A Damn Cook! I read Tom Clancy's books long before seeing the movies. I even have Hunt For Red October, and Sum Of All Fears autographed by Tom befored he passed.

Ramius makes a lil' "magic trick" with the crew personsonal dosimeters, and starts spreading rumours onboard about a radioactive leak! - BY THAT POINT - they already want all to just abandon that fuckin' (in their minds) "cursed" ship - if it had been a "sudden" event they might have decided to SINK the ship with themselves onboard. This way Ramius manipulates their fears to the point of breaking their will and training, and - at the end - it all gives Ramius the possibility to get rid of his crew WILLINGLY - which is the BIGGEST PROBLEM - not only without starting a "war" onboard, but also it gives the men the impression the captain & officers did their duty, so when the crew returns home they will tel the story that RAMIUS WANTS THEM TO TELL. Damn, Clancy's storyline was BRILLIANT, while here it's...idk!...a lil' bit "risible"...
Have you thought of the lenght of the movie would be adding that whole plot?
@@bustosadrian Trying to do entire book in the one movie would elevated it to the level of the Kurosawa's 7 Samurais which in the original cut was 8 hours long... 😳
@@asheer9114 I'd have watched it.
@@bustosadrianThe only way to do that would be a TV mini-series.
"He's going down, sir!"
That guy also played as Hawkins in the original Predator movie.
Damn. Never knew thay
Shane Black?
@@bthorn5035 Yes, _"USS Reuben James Crewman (uncredited)"_
The guy who says “put a shot across his bow?” No, not same guy from Predator which was made only 3 years earlier.
@@MrTbraida23 No, not him. The guy in the background saying "she's going down, sir" right before your guy. That's Shane Black.
It is fucking amazing how many prominent and excellent actors they had in this movie. No wonder it’s a classic. Probably had a shitload of money they could’ve spent on these actors lmao.
For some reason, 5:05 with the frigate coming around, is just awesome to me.
Looks so badass
You aint seen nothing. Slow speed and smoothish speeds. See a REAL warship at high speed and business-like
This is the scene I will always remember Sean Connery by.
I've forgotten what an awesome movie this is, I must watch it again.
"You'll receive the Order of Lenin for this, Captain." No probably not... talk to Admiral Pidorin.
If you think about it, a reactor emergency on a Soviet submarine was a very real possibility and valid fear, Soviet reactors weren't exactly known for safety and reliability.
Similar scenes take place at my job when I have gas.
This is very good.
I drive a wheelchair van so luckily no one can tell. They are too damn far back to notice.
"Suffering a leak in the coolant tube
You get the order of Lenin?
Did you prepare to scuttle your shit?
Such a small part of the score, but 2:08 to 2:18 is my favorite part of the entire soundtrack! 🤣
I like how the bridge crew of the destroyer all have their helmets on. When you go to general quarters bridge crew wear helmets.
They were prepared for the opening shots of NUCLEAR COMBAT with those DAMN RUSKIE BASTARDS! (Please imagine that in Slim Pickens character from Doctor Strangelove as he opened his attack plan R instructions.)
Break out the rafts. Lash them to the deck. We'll use them as shelters until the fleet arrives.
One of my favorite lines. That and most things in here don't reach too well to bullets.
Navy Reservist performing his requisite two weeks of active duty every year., this time at NAVSTA Long Beach (no longer active).
At quarters (morning assembly of sailors), we were informed of the movie producers of that movie looking for sailors to serve as extras in these scenes. With my two years of Russian, I should have been a natural for a speaking role. But everybody volunteering for this duty had to use up part of his "30 days per year leave time", of which reserve sailors had none.
So no opportunity to contribute to this particular evolution.
Darth Vader used the Force to destroy the torpedo.
this comment got me :)))
100% can confirm - life onboard a nuclear submarine is this dramatic every single day
Anybody notice how the "reactor failure" they were pretending to have was exactly the same kind of failure that happened to K-19?
James Bond, Dr Grant and It having a meeting on the red October.
They didn’t include pennywise in their conversation : (
With Darth Vader orders a commander to falsely destroy the Red October with a Torpedo...
Frigate you see there is still in service - now in Polish Navy.
04:41: Comrade cameraman :)
Camera crew in jeans at 4:44, lmao
one of my favorite movies.
(4:35) "Warning shots" :)
My all-time favorite movie. After reading comments, now I need to read the book....I like detail.
Dang, those choir vocals in the score are just EPIC!
James Bond, Penny wise and Dr Grant on the same ship
Sam Neill tore it up in Mouth of Madness
No flag officer or Captain of any naval warship would scuttle his ship, especially in times of peace, with anyone but the Captain on board. Even in the movie the Captain would order his crew to repel boarders and signal his command of what was happening, or his crew would grow suspicious, but it's a good movie.
You cannot dive a submarine with just one person
The crew should have gone suspicious when their own military fired a live torpedo at them. Besides, even if a sub is enforcing radio silence, it still has the ability to receive communications, meaning the Communication Department would been hearing The Soviet Command SCREAMING for a response over unsecure lines.
But this is a movie.
BEST MOVIE JUST GETS BETTER EVERY TIME
Notice how, at 3:10, Sam Neil's character (the First Officer) would normally be scanning the entire horizon for surface ships. But instead he's concentrating on one heading, because he knows that's where the Americans are supposed to be..
Put a shot across the bow. Love it. Bull Halsey esque. Spruance would be proud.
'You'll receive the Order of Lenin for this'
'In SPACE!'
"That torpedo has not self-destruct. You heard it hit the hull"
"But, Sir, it blew off before hitting..."
"I find your lack of faith disturbing"
Wow, such a great film.
I still love this movie!!!
I love this movie
Who said anything about shabatosh?!
Caaaptain!
4:02 When she's on the rag, but you go down on her anyway
A Damn Cook!
I read Tom Clancy's books long before seeing the movies. I even have Hunt For Red October, and Sum Of All Fears autographed by Tom befored he passed.
4:37 "He's going down, sir."
"Dammit Hawkins, I told you I don't want to hear any more jokes about your girlfriend"
That’s a lot of information conveyed in just 30 or so light flashes. Damn our Navy is efficient.
Shurface the ship!
It's a BOAT. Submarines are BOATS. Ships are the big grey things crewed by "skimmers" having delusions of adequacy.
Stuart of Blyth Shurface the boat!
Who shaid anything about Shabotage?
Stuart of Blyth They say both in the movie.
@@stuartofblyth someone failed the old salt test!
Great scene.
6:24 Very well lord Vader 🫡
4:44 You can see, at the left of the screen, the second team filming. One of them wore blue jeans.
Incredible that we can see it on the final version of the movie !!!
When movies were classic cinema.
The feel of the crew getting the hell away from disaster and freezing cold in the icy waters of nowhere
Before CGI, when movies were real
This used CGI, particularly for underwater scenes.
Damned right. No CGI then.
@@TheTrueAdeptOnly on necesary scenes…
@@envitech02Yes, there was CGI in the 80s. Tron, Labyrinth, The Abyss, et cetera, used CGI for some of their effects.
Great scene
