- The outro of The Right Stuff
The Mercury program was over. Four years later, astronaut Gus Grissom was killed, along with astronauts White and Chaffee, when fire swept through their Apollo capsule. But on that glorious day in May 1963, Gordo Cooper went higher, farther, and faster than any other American - 22 complete orbits around the world; he was the last American ever to go into space alone. And for a brief moment, Gordo Cooper became the greatest pilot anyone had ever seen. - เพลง

That, my friends, is how you end a movie.
Who is the greatest pilot you ever saw? Great line by Gordo.
@@MrMarkus49 You're lookin' at him. They don't show it in the movie, but Gordo absolutely showed the right stuff during his flight. All of the automatic systems in his capsule shorted out, and he had to line it up for reentry and fire the retros manually. He landed closer to the recovery carrier than any of the Mercury flights.
Damn straight
When I get depressed and feel I can't go on, I watch this, and it gives me the strength to keep living for just one more day.
I literally always cry when hearing this theme song. This film really makes you feel proud to be an American. One of the best films and musical score hands down…..
One day I hope people will feel that same way again
@@matthewcaughey8898 the Democratic Party wouldn't approve I'm afraid.
They mix bill contis own music with the Air Force theme, it’s incredible.
First thing I think of whenever I watch this. People like these men are what make Americans one of a kind!
Yeah...
I had to come here today to pay homage to Fred Ward, who passed away this morning.. Rest In Peace, my friend..
Same.
+1, wish they had portrayed Grissom a little more accurately though.
@ Michael Laferriere
Well, I loved the movie, but there were many inaccuracies. Chuck Yeager’s X-1 supersonic flight was not his first like the movie implies, as he flew many flights in the X-1 before breaking the sound barrier. The astronauts arguing with Werner Von Braun and his team about the space capsule never happened because Von Braun’s team was in charge of the booster rocket only. And when Jack Ridley and the airman are driving out into to try and find Yeager after he crashed would have been impossible because Jack Ridley was killed in an air crash 6 years before. So while they seem to imply it was Gus Grissom’s fault his space capsule sank, they didn’t really come right out and say it. Of course years later Gus was completely cleared when they did find Liberty Bell 7 and it’s hatch on the ocean floor and were able to find out it was indeed a malfunction of the hatch.

Storytelling requires conflict, so a lot of that I’m fine with.. The Grissom thing was started by Tom Wolfe, himself, and was detailed in the book.. The problem was Grissom was lead pilot for both the Gemini and Apollo programs, so IMO Wolfe should’ve came to the obvious conclusion, which is NASA obviously cleared him in the incident.. That was unfortunate..
@@jogman262 In a short paragraph, you have answered my question of long ago, Why did Tom Wolfe dislike the movie? I am sincerely grateful to you, Mark S.
Anybody else tear up every single time watching or hearing this?
Big time brotha 🤙
You bet
Every time
Same here brother
Like right now
I am not american... Im european (croatian) and this movie makes me proud to BE HUMAN... WE NEED OUR HEROES BACK ... this people were not just american heroes but heroes of humanity... this world needs HEROES AGAIN, we had it enough... Greets to all americans who understand me on this... this is writen directly from my soul... God bless.
Well said. There's only one race. The human race. And, please remember that the American space program was actually a collaboration between many countries.
An American hero of Croatian descent was baseball player Roger Maris, who, for many years, held the record for most home runs in a single season: 61 home runs in 1961.
@@57highland Great :) thanks for that information
You said it well. This was a triumph for humanity. We should all feel proud of that moment in history and remember we are all in this together.
@@jonp3890 That's a fascinating remembrance and you write American English beautifully!
Rest in Peace Fred Ward aka Gus Grissom. Go, hotdog, go!
Fuckin’ A Bubba
The worm killer! 😅
“But on that glorious day in May 1963, Gordo Cooper went higher, farther, and faster than any other American.

It is great writings
Yes, that’s what he said. We heard it.
I always say that speech with the narrator and I always say it with tears in my eyes.
The narrator is Levon Helm of The Band. Or does everyone already know that?
@@patriciam4512 Same.
Oh Lord, what a heavenly light.
Yes, that’s what he said. We heard it,
I give my salute to Gus Grissom, Alan Shepard, Wally Schirra, Deke Slayton, Gordo Cooper, Scott Carpenter & John Glenn; America’s Mercury Seven!!
🇺🇸 True American Heroes going into Space for the first time. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
God rest your souls!
That is how you fucking end a movie!
Love this ending. Bill Conti's score was soooooo incredible. Totally deserving of the Academy award for best score.
Thanks Tchaikovsky
@@gelpierre7386 definitely inspired
@@gelpierre7386 Tchaikovsky made it beautiful. Conti made it epic.
He should have won for Rocky as well
@@vtiger81 Absolutely man
This film should have won Best Picture, hands down.
It’s literally the best movie of the entire decade.. Robbed is not the word..
You can thank Terms of Endearment for that. I'm still pissed.
@@johnfitzpatrick3094 Terms was a great film as well, but was a hit. This wasn't, sadly.
True, but it didn't do well box office wise. That probably hurt it, plus Terms of Endearment was also a great film and touching. However, I would've voted for this film if I was an Academy member.
@sha11235 The movie was over three hours long, and it's approach to the material wasn't straightforward.
Levon Helm had the best voice ever. I could listen to him read a phone book.
Still makes my hair stand up on end...When I see this scene....
Same here
Me too!
Agree. So many outstanding scenes in this movie .Glenn’s reentry, Yeager ‘s crash survival, a great movie
Tears 2:05 Dad took me to see this at the Big Theater in WDC. TRC dared to make you proud to be an American. I remember looking over and seeing him smiling once the credits appeared.
Gone Never Forgotten
My dad rented this for me the next year when it became a hit on video.
I can't think of any other movie in which the music of the final credits so perfectly matched the accomplishments pictured and stirred the heart and mind like this one. It is beyond perfect and while I am not an American, I too could easily join in with my total enjoyment of the how, the why, and the when of all of this. In May 1963, in Canada, I was just getting ready to finish Grade 13 and can honestly say that for almost all of the flights leading up to this one, I had my ear tuned to the radio whilst doing my homework or any other activity. This movie just captures the essence of what it means to put oneself out over the abyss and take whatever may come. But again, the music was for me, the icing on the cake at the end of this movie. Just great!!!
One of the greatest endings of all time.
That is one of the most perfect and awesome endings in movie history, with the splendid and outstanding musical score on the soundtrack, and that voiceover by the actor portraying Vice-President Lyndon Johnson which ties in Dennis Quaid as US Air Force pilot Gordon Cooper as for 22 consecutive orbits and being the last man to go into space alone, Gordo Cooper went farther, higher, faster, longer than any man alive, and for one brief moment, Gordo Cooper became the greatest pilot ANYONE ever saw....
No, the voiceover is Levon Helm of The Band.
Agree wholeheartedly except the part about LBJ.
@@rsvihla He played Jack Ridley in the movie.
Levon was Ridley and Donald Moffat was LBJ. Moffat would play later the President in Harrison Ford- Jack Ryan film.
Its not shown in the movie but he definitely proved himself an outstanding pilot.His electric and navigation system stopped working and he piloted the capsule manually and landed perfectly.Truly amazing.
and he had the most accurate landing of all friendship 7
Right on. Compare this to the flight of Scott Carpenter who almost dawdled and improvised his way to disaster.
Using a wristwatch and a grease pencil on the capsule window.
I love this movie. But the ending always enrages me. The entire movie is about Pilots! Why pilots are necessary. Man vs machine. And then they don't show the entirety of Cooper's flight... WHY!?!?! For those not aware, things went horrifically wrong on Mercury 9. On the 19th Orbit there was a massive short circuit. All of the automated attitude control and navigation systems failed. Cooper lost most of his instruments and the capsule was no longer on autopilot. He had to manually fly his spacecraft home. He drew a horizon line on the window. Put his watch up next to it where he could see the second hand. And he flew his ship home by manually firing the thrusters and timing how long he fired them. He hands on manually piloted a perfect re-entry and touched down closer to the Carrier than just about anybody. Just about within swimming distance of it. Man was better than Machine. And he was the best pilot there ever was that day.
Brilliantly done, the mission and the movie. Such men as this are worth looking up to .
Col. Cooper was a great American. As a fellow USAF vet, a personal hero of mine. One of the best musical scores and ending to a movie. I think this is a very important film, and young people today should watch this movie.
One of the all time greatest movies.
Amazing thing is, Chuck Yeager outlived all seven.
And the young actor who played him...
@@jshepard152 your Dad?
@@macbolan9374
No, not related.
Well done, Astronaut Cooper. What a great movie.
Conti really knows the sound of the heroic. 'Rocky' and 'The Right Stuff,' magnificent!
Notice both films were produced by the same team?
RIP Fred Ward aka Gus Grissom... can't believe it's almost 40 years!
America was such a proud country at that time, I wish people and times were still like the old days.
What a beautiful movie.
I remember watching this over and over as a kid… then once I got my Air Force wings pinned on, this was the theme they played. Awesome moment!
As a kid we watched all the Mercury launches on black and white tv sets our elementary teachers brought to class. It was a time of enormous National pride. Nothing like the culture we unfortunately live in today. Bring back the fucking space program.
Rest in peace Fred Ward...May 8,2022.....go get em Gus!!!!!
I once asked my 10 year old as we watched the ending credits years ago what kind of music that was...now he's just a kid...he replied "American music"...yep teared up.
❤
I saw this movie as a teenager watching these heroes wishing to become an American one day. I became an American. Dream come true!
I was probably 12 when I first saw this, and just loved it. But I'll never forget the gut punch when he said Gus died four years later: I had no idea. I actually gasped. He had such a rough road in the film and struggled with his legacy. I was stunned that he came to such a sad fate. I still remember that moment as one that left me speechless. R.I.P. Gus.
Yes it was a very tragic thing...
In the end Wally actually vindicated Gus when he stayed with his Mercury and blew the hatch manually. He had a very distinctive bruise that was noted as missing from Gus in post mission medical. It was later determined by a board of inquiry that Gus did not blow the hatch. Tragically this can never be answered fully as the camera and film recovered when they pulled Liberty Bell 7 off the sea floor was damaged by sea water and ruined
@@operation1968 and the thing was that NASA intentionally had a inward-opening "plug" hatch, typically used on the docking hatches on Apollo, Shuttle, ISS, Crew Dragon, etc., put on Apollo as so that what happened on Grissom's Mercury flight would not happen on Apollo. Grissom's luck just ran out on that January evening in 1967 when he, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee had the wrong type of hatch at the wrong time.
@@matthewcaughey8898 John Glenn did the same thing after "Friendship 7" was hoisted onto the deck of the USS Noa. The spring attached to the hatch snapped back and skinned Glenn's knuckles, yet that, and Wally's bruise proved that Gus didn't intentionally blow the hatch.
@@rwboa22 Gus was long ago exonerated it’s been said. His posting to the 1st Apollo mission was proof NASA believed him
They really did save the best for last… Gordo was the man..
I grew up near the Mojave desert and that BOOM ,BOOM, from the Space Shuutles landing at Edwards AFB still echo in my head to this day!
RIP Fred Ward.
Listening to this theme gives me major goosebumps!!!
The best part is, if you hang around for the end credits, you get that cue all over again. Thank you, Bill Conti! And thank you, too, Petka Ilyich. Couldn't have done it without you!
Gordo was always a hero of mine being from Oklahoma myself.
Who's the best pilot you ever saw? You're looking at him.
My all-time favorite film. They were and still are my heroes
Whenever I watch the right stuff i get a chill up my back especially during the launch sequences,them lads were exceptionally gutsy, this film should be shown in schools, to show the pupils how the mercury programme paved the way for NASA to go to the moon and back and the possibilities of working in space ( ISS) what makes it more important is that most of the mercury 7 astronauts have passed away so this film is an archive of their lives,
Perhaps…the longest movie I’ve ever seen without getting bored. 3:13 hrs of pure awesome!
And then they go on and end it with chuck Yeager and Gordo Cooper.
Talk about arguably the greatest ending in movie history.
This closing scene is so inspiring and patriotic. You’re not an American if this doesn’t put a lump in your throat
Lol damn right 🇺🇸
Hell I'm Croatian and it makes me proud.
It does. Trust me. It does...
You don't have to be a Yank to be proud of these incredibly brave and talented blokes
Rest in peace Fred Ward
Happy 60 years to Faith 7.
R.I.P Fred ward ! All these great men are now sadly part of history GREAT Americans that layed down the foundations of our country ! I wish we could go back to the innocence of the 60's and 70's when we actually were a UNITED states this country in fact this whole world sucks !
Love, love, love this film.
Sixty years ago today.
What a score by Bill Conti. Just a public service, that music.
Hail The Right Stuff, hail Manned Space Program 🇺🇸
Yup
This is still my favorite space movie
My God, what a theme!
RIP Fred Ward!
Best movie, best score, best...ever.
Living not far from Muchea Australia, I recall those hot summer nights looking up at the milky way and seeing distant lights moving across the sky. I was born years later but that music. That music makes me proud that Australia and our tracking stations helped those brave astronauts sail across the new ocean of space. And we will as we do, again and again...
❤
Where men cry...
This WAS the Best Picture of 1983!
Some of Fred Wards best work, and of course Remo Williams. RIP
Tremors.
No CGI. All real effects. Better than most tentpole films out there today. Seen it at least 25 times.
Greatest movie ever made!
Go Hot Dog Go!
I always think this movie managed to strike perfect balance between heroism/the myth of the hero and reality. Plus it didn't take itself too seriously and become ponderous.
Can you imagine seeing this for the first time in the theaters back in the day?
I did. It was great.
RIP Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee and RIP Fred Ward who played Grissom in The Right Stuff.
If you don’t get a bump in your chest; a tear in your eye and pride in your heart than you aren’t really an American! A great awe interesting award winning soundtrack!
Every time I see this I want to cry 👍
2:14 that music is what I use for my croc movie ending🐊🐊🦧🐟🦅🦇🐋🦂🦘🐒🦍🐉🐇🦭🐅
I stayed home from elementary school, during all of the Mercury flights. Space travel was BIG stuff back then. The TV coverage was so-so but more that good enough. 😃😃🥰
Walter Cronkite was so full of enthusiasm for the program and was a wonderful explainer!
1:47 such a great way to end the movie... And when the music hits... 2:13 (Chef's kiss)
A great film. Sad it didn't do well box office wise, but it found its audience on video the next year.
Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty; always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.
Important words.. Nixon was a master politician.. Tough, smart, willing to do whatever it takes.. And it consumed him in the end.. I always admired this moment of clarity from him..
Rest in Peace, Fred Ward....
Be careful, Gus might have a few words of correction for you...
#RipChuckYeager
Excellent scene from a great movie
You know how some movie critics use the line “it will make you stand up and cheer”? This is the one movie that actually will.
May 1963. I was 4 years old.
本当に震えるラストシーン！
It may not have been entirely great history, but it sure as hell was great movie making. Still awesome, Mr. Kaufman.
Great cameo appearance by Eric Severeid.
Great cast!!
I agree with you too I always cry too
Hey Dennis Quaid, YULE always remind me of Cooper from Right Stuff.
heroes Kaufman, Winkler & Chartoff.
Godspeed, Fred Ward!
One of the great, unknown scores for one of the great, unknown films
One of the best
I put " HOT DOG" on my helmet because of this guy! I lost count how many times I seen this movie.
One of the greatest movies ever about the 1960s space program in America when it was a source of pride.
What an amazing film!!!
Off we go into the wild blue yonder…
Climbing high into the sun...
Might not be a test pilot. I am an american college student studying biochemistry. America is going through a turbulent time right now. But im convinced i have the right stuff to do my small part and revitalize american exceptionalism.
1:23 Dennis Quaid has a natural Joker-smile.
Love it! Great movie! ❤
I loved Fred Ward and Dennis Quaid as Grissom and Cooper.
Magnificent.
Best fireworks music ever is Any of the right stuff but this is good in car with speakers on max
This movie turns 40 this year. I'm hoping it gets a limited theatrical release.
0:54 as the USAF song hits!
