I have to admit I never noticed how goofy all the climbing scenes are, but I agree the opening fall is one of the most tense and brutal things I’ve ever seen in a movie
Loved this movie when it came out because it propelled Sly back to the top again, at the time. For me it was basically Sly's Die Hard on a mountain. On a side note, the current Japanese Emperor attended the premier screening because he was a huge Sly fan!
I agree. I remember as a kid, or I imagine as an adult at that time, you went in not expecting Shakespeare. Or even a "plot" per se but you knew you were going to be treated to hours of non CGI testosterone pumping stunt work. I miss that
@@Thurston86 i just saw this comment and had to ask "how do you figure". Die Hard is pretty much a perfect movie in most regards. They nail comedy, action, drama and suspense in a way that became the benchmark for everything after. I do like Cliffhanger a lot but Die Hard is next level good. I think i even like Die Hard 2 better despite knowing it isnt as good of a movie. Great twist ending
Interesting fact: My Dad and his brother were involved in the stunts of this movie, including the plane transfer scene, When they got involved in the stunt, my dad had to parachute from the plane (not sure if it was a cut scene, or if it was just involved in the safety aspect). They misjudged the windspeed, and he landed so hard that he broke both his legs and smashed his knee to pieces. Because of this film, he now has a totally metal and plastic right knee,
0:50 - it's easy to hang using even a finger if you're Wolfgang Güllig - probably the best rock climber of all times and Stallone double in this movie.
This is absolutely why I'm a Patreon. . - Don't look at the horse. - Mr Expert Mountaineer - Wool gloves - Stalag "tight" Best line, ever. Keep up the great work!
12:51 I watched the movie specifically to see the gap jump. Action movies like this was normal for me. I watched specifically for the crazy shit they'd do
There are 3 deaths, that almost made me cry (I am a person, who cries often because of movies) -Sarahs death: How horrible must it feel, to fear for your life and when you fall, you just know its over in a short time? + all the others just got a life long trauma - the boy's death: like they said, he was just an innocent young person, who didn't hurt anybody + his pal loses a friend - Franks death: He saved so many people and got killed by those, he used to wanna help Frustrating, but I still love the movie.
Oooh man I love this movie! A friend of mine's dad climbed crazy cliffs like that. One of his friends actually died climbing a cliff, he was alone and fell. Every time i watch this movie I think of her dad telling us how guilty he felt for not being with him when he was climbing. Still love this movie!
Glad to see you do this one finally! Hilarious as usual, but also enjoyed hearing you talk about a subject you are passionate about, it adds something extra to the video. :)
It cracks me up that most people know Michael Rooker as Yondu. I first saw him as Henry Lee Lucas in "Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer" and I will always look at him a bit differently.
Ace Ventura 2 did an exact recreation of the scene where the girl falls......but instead of a girl, Ace lost his raccoon. Stallone is impervious to frostbite. (This was posted before the video intro ended)
The great thing about 80s and 90s action movies was that they didn't have to use logic or follow laws of physics. They just had to entertain in that very moment with great stunts and massive explosions. It was ok to have forgotten what the movie was about the moment you walked out of the theater. All that mattered were the memories of the great action scenes. Simply, happy times.
I joined my high school rock climbing club a year after this movie came out. Not because of the movie, even though it was awesome as a teen, but they needed one more person to make it even, as there was only 3 people in the club and needed 4 minimum, my friend, his girlfriend and the teacher in charge. So I was roped in, even though I hate heights (thought it would be a good way to get over it - did it work? yes and no, still hate heights but ok if safely clipped in) and had some fun and thrilling climbs around the region at some really amazing places.
Me too. Of course,being so young I had to wait a year after cinema release before my parents could rent it for me on VHS. Worth the wait though…I adored this film and it’s still one I watch at least once a year.
Because the trailer was awesome. That's always why you were really excited to see disappointing movies that weren't attached to a franchise you already liked.
Sorry to break this to you Redeye. But have you seen 'Valley Uprising'? An awesome documentary about climbers in Yosemite. But Cliffhanger was written by a professional climber, one of the guys that climbed in Yosemite. He based the story on a cargo plane of weed that crashed and the climbers emptied it before the police could get up to it. Great video though Red, keep em coming mate.
93 was a hype year for Stallone. I was all in when I was a kid. Cliffhanger and demolition man came out same year and I made my dad take me to both movies. Demo man is prolly more remembered but I liked cliffhanger better.
That opening scene is fucking amazing and I’ll fight anyone who says different. Always makes the hairs on my neck stand up. They don’t make them like they used to.
I watched this in the theater when it came out ( as a 12 yr old)..on side note I also watched "Stop or my mom will shoot" the year before ...honestly enjoyed them both...👍
When I watch this movie now as an adult, being that it was one of my favourites as a child. I see them belay each other without attachments in this movie and always think to myself now... "Did the people who made this movie REALLY THINK! That when someone holds another end of the rope when you climbing... That it acts like some magical tether? Where when you hold on the other person cannot fall?!". Fucking mental movie, still love it! I mean fuck me it had Sylvester Stallone, Michael Rooker and John Lithgow!
Finally! A review that tackles the important questions about a mindless action film! Is it technically accurate regarding the esoteric minutia surrounding its... I don't care how rock climbing is really done.! No one does except for people who would already know. Reminds me of the time I tried to watch Jaws with a surly fisherman and a rogue shark!🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
It's awesome to hear that you're a climber! There's nothing that makes you shake your head more than when movies botch the simple stuff you know about. I avoid most stuff with hospitals in them now because of it. That being said... that makes great material for comedic reviews 😂
Yeah! I used to climb a couple times a week but then I started to play hockey and climbing has taken a back seat the past few years. But still love it. Oh man I can only imagine! I've been told that Scrubs was the most accurate hospital show on TV. But most of them are just flat out wrong
@@RedEyeReviews scrubs is the most acurate in therms of social dynamik in hospital, problems of the charactere ect. The Medical scene are good, but for emotional reason some medical scene are soooo wrong. But it is one of my favourite series. And you cane enjoy scrubs as a medical profesion, mutch more then orhers medical drama series. (Sry for my bad english).
Don't forget the fact that the insurance company was probably right not to insure the stunt guy since he didn't make it to the door like they showed. A pocket of air knocked him off course for a second which was enough to blow him right past the door and land on the top of the plane where he flailed about for a moment trying to get back to the door. Eventually the smaller plane had to get out of the way and the stunt guy just detached himself and used one of his hidden parachutes to float to the ground. th-cam.com/video/X4kLKfkelrw/w-d-xo.html That's the clip from back when they actually used to document how films were made.
You’re wrong, Redeye. Your videos are _never_ long enough! Also, you missed the best part! How Stallone was somehow able to catch a goddamn wild rabbit to attach the tracking device to it. He caught a _wild fucking rabbit_ with his *bare fucking hands!* 😂 Love this movie, climbing/reality inaccuracies and all!
as a guy from Nordic country I have to say Stallone has really warm T-shirt in this one. :D And that is sure amazing bolt gun it can shoot many bolts in a row without loading.:) but anyway this was really cool to see in cinemas when u where 15 years old
Yeah, they spent a million bucks (and risked a guy's life) on a stunt that could easily have been done with some model planes and a green screen. Dumb.
Fun Fact - Sly got his hair transplant (first of many I assume) right after this film. My doc (who did my transplant in 2001) was flown out to LA to do it at his home (must be nice to be Rocky rich) and they said his very nice wife made them muffins and he was super nice and jacked as heck and didn't flinch on the shots. I didn't flinch on my shots (which hurt like hell) and they said "OK Mike, you are "Stallone Tough"" - They said he was talking about finishing up a mountain movie in Italy or wherever and this was it (it hadn't came out yet). He tried to get Rod Stewart (his neighbor at the time) to come over but Rod was outta town. Anyways, you can tell Sly's hairline in this film is at it's highest and they did a lot to cover it up. Enjoy BTW - the doc signed a confidentiality agreement but one of the nurses told me all about it while they were carving my head all day. I think it's been 30 years now and OK to share=) That doc was damn good - a gifted artist and I'm lucky I chose him.
You do understand RedEye and i say this with love. He has to first hammer in a spot to belay for her or anyone to belay from. If he is the first person to climb a spot there will be nothing to belay off of.
Great Redeye i put all the effort of a concerned subscriber in that comment just to hear you say you climb and you know all of this! I am sorry for being a part of the problem.
The first part of the movie is intense. If I recall correctly, Hal(Michael Rooker)took an inexperienced climber on a very dangerous climb to impress her. Sly did what he could, but I think the situation quickly went bad. I just remember watching the movie and thinking Hal (Yondu)was the one who put them in that situation. Other random memories: - The million dollar stunt was kind of distracting because it was very obviously a stuntman doing a stunt very deliberately. - I was disappointed the huge jump from the trailer wasn't in the movie, but I could see why test audiences would laugh. - I think when the lady villain initially calls for help, she adds some detail at the end that impresses John Lithgow. - Had a crush on Janine Turner.

I'm so happy you reviewed this movie. I know that climbers got pissed at it because of all the inaccurate things in this, but it gave me a whole new appreciation of the risks climbers take. I'm also afraid of hights so I was on the edge of my seat during all of those stunts.
Fond memories of this one for the simple fact I watched it with my grandfather. I thought it was cool he wanted to watch this Stallone rated R action thriller with me even though I was in my early teens! My grandfather is actually who got me into the types of movies you cover, now that I think of it. He loved watching all of these 80s and 90s stupid-fun action flicks. Ah I miss him. Awesome as always RedEye!
Oh thank God you pointed out the fact they used the same jump shot that they removed from the film and just happened to I guess edit out the mountain for sky and trees. I applaud you and I should not have doubted you noticed it! 😅
18:10 your question reminds me of a mountaineering game from the 80s. It was called Final Assault and made by Epyx. You set out on a mountaineering expedition and had to plan the whole thing. You could pack your ruck yourself OR you could let the computer pack it for you. But that was a silly thing to do because the computer would pack all kinds of silly things so you HAD to check your loadout. The only time I used the auto-packing option I found a microwave oven in the ruck but no rope. That would have made it difficult to summit Kilamanjaro for sure.
Redeye I love the fact that you point out everything that they should have done which would have kept us from having the movie happen like the fact they could taking there time to do the Heist after killing all the agents on the plane .
Such a *classic* The special effects might be ropey during the hijacking scene but the actual stuntwork involved was *incredible* Highly recommend people check out the _"behind the scenes"_ - the stunt actually went wrong but they only did it once, so they just made it part of the film!
He was super creepy in Brian De Palma's "Blow Up" but I do prefer his 'goofy/nice' persona. I think a lot of scary actors turn out to also be funny due to a lack of inhibition - they're not worrying about 'what will people think?'
"Maybe one day we'll watch Vertical Limit and you guys can watch me slowly go insane," he says at the exact moment I open a new tab and see his Vertical Limit upload.
Very rarely do I feel like I just NEED to watch a movie after I watch one of your videos and this is one of those times. I LOVE this movie and I had no idea there were so many climbing errors. I have yo admit I’ve never been climbing. This reminds me of the time that I watched the movie San Andreas with a geologist and she absolutely shredded the movie “science” 😂
“Stallone realizes he’s invincible at this point so he just throws himself off a mountain.” 😂
“Totally fine”
Aim for the bushes :)
Well Rambo did it...
That old dude's painting of a banana eating a monkey is actually a masterpiece! Nobody is going to change my mind
Hey I got a eighth of some gorilla glue here that will change your mind
@@samholdsworth420 send it on over and I will watch the movie again as I paint a banana eating a monkey that is painting a picture of Sly Stallone hanging off a cliff by his pecker
@@samholdsworth420 An 8th of gorilla glue is the only reason I appreciate that painting.
The proto-NFT
I love the way this piece subverts the viewers expectation that a monkey would eat the banana.
Stallone: Imma race to the top of the mountain.
Vin Diesel: Hold my family!
I like how they throw that guy out of the plane.."Lets get him to the hospital" 😅
That was hillarious.
My favorite part of the movie, I never laughed so hard in a theater.
Loved this movie as a kid and the ace Ventura spoof scene was amazing!😂😂
That and the Rhino "birthing" scene are gold in that movie!

I remember watching that Ace Ventura scene with my mom and she had no clue what was going on lol
To this day i think this film still holds the number 1 spot for the most brutal and crazy opening sequence ever.
I have to admit I never noticed how goofy all the climbing scenes are, but I agree the opening fall is one of the most tense and brutal things I’ve ever seen in a movie
I recently watched Vertical Limit... I couldn't believe how bad it looks.

I might take some heat for this but... Cliffhanger is a better Die Hard than Die Hard.
I agree. I remember as a kid, or I imagine as an adult at that time, you went in not expecting Shakespeare. Or even a "plot" per se but you knew you were going to be treated to hours of non CGI testosterone pumping stunt work. I miss that
All action movies suck. Sensei Seagull, Stallone, Chuck Norris, etc, etc--every last one of them. And the people who like them? Well...
@@Thurston86 i just saw this comment and had to ask "how do you figure". Die Hard is pretty much a perfect movie in most regards. They nail comedy, action, drama and suspense in a way that became the benchmark for everything after.

He's not even the racist guy who became a zombie in Walking Dead anymore, he's Yondu. But then again he died too
I remember him more as the rascist on walking dead
He is also the asshole that got John Cusak to throw the world series.

"Its costs a fortune to heat this place" should've used the Seinfled music with that line. 👍😂
The Cliffhanger opening is like Swordfish opening, you can feel it's gonna go bad right out of the gate
It’s fun to point out some of the technical issues with Cliffhanger, but it’s also fun to take this cheesy action classic at face value. 👍
Nobody does running from explosions in slow motion going RAAAAAHHAAA better than Stallone.
Stallone : i need to swim to the Titanic 🚢 to get it
Bad guys: take his wet suit and his oxygen tanks and sprinkle him with chum 1st

The bad guy played by Leon Robinson is cool AF. He was in prison drama O.Z and he played Black Jesus in Madonna’s Like a Prayer video. 🙏🏿🤞🏾
I watched his moralities in the cave over and over again.
18:10 your question reminds me of a mountaineering game from the 80s. It was called Final Assault and made by Epyx. You set out on a mountaineering expedition and had to plan the whole thing. You could pack your ruck yourself OR you could let the computer pack it for you. But that was a silly thing to do because the computer would pack all kinds of silly things so you HAD to check your loadout. The only time I used the auto-packing option I found a microwave oven in the ruck but no rope. That would have made it difficult to summit Kilamanjaro for sure.
Redeye I love the fact that you point out everything that they should have done which would have kept us from having the movie happen like the fact they could taking there time to do the Heist after killing all the agents on the plane .
You climb bro.... Sweet (I don't know why I worded it like that). Great video as always.
Such a *classic*
The special effects might be ropey during the hijacking scene but the actual stuntwork involved was *incredible*
Highly recommend people check out the _"behind the scenes"_ - the stunt actually went wrong but they only did it once, so they just made it part of the film!
Your climbing experience added to the snarkiness and fun!
One of the greatest all time background movies of all time. WALKEEEER!!!
Before this movie, I only knew John Lithgow from Harry and the Hendersons. I never would have thought he could have played such a great bad guy.
When I watched it was "hey its Dick Solomon"
He was super creepy in Brian De Palma's "Blow Up" but I do prefer his 'goofy/nice' persona. I think a lot of scary actors turn out to also be funny due to a lack of inhibition - they're not worrying about 'what will people think?'
Ricochet w/Denzel. Lithgow is hilariously ❤less
This movie had the best lines 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Every villain left great quotes before passing away.
Money paper is actually cloth, not not wood pulp, so it might burn longer.
I actually saw this in the theater back in the day. Highly recommended. Good commentary track, too.
One of RedEyes best reviews yet 😂😂😂
So many parts in this movie that made me LOL. He actually got to the top of a mountain in less that 30seconds of the radio call😂😂😂😂
I saw this in the theater with a climber. He laughed a lot, too.
So the bad guys just happened to be “carrying a clunky radio” while supposedly lost during a hike? Lol, right. Great video 🤙!
So cool you are a climber, amazing eye red review. Little slice of laughter 😃
“That’s it. Did I solve the case?” Bahahahaha!!! Another great job!
This movie is beautiful. It may be goofy as hell, but the breathtaking views are worth the price of admission.
the real question is: Would you take 1 million dollars to do that stunt? I think I might...but I might have second thoughts when I'm on the plane
I thought about that...he looked like he had a parachute ready! Made some good money for a death defying stunt! Well worth it!
"Maybe one day we'll watch Vertical Limit and you guys can watch me slowly go insane," he says at the exact moment I open a new tab and see his Vertical Limit upload.
Very rarely do I feel like I just NEED to watch a movie after I watch one of your videos and this is one of those times. I LOVE this movie and I had no idea there were so many climbing errors. I have yo admit I’ve never been climbing.
This reminds me of the time that I watched the movie San Andreas with a geologist and she absolutely shredded the movie “science” 😂
That bolt gun had me rolling
Didn't realize that Yondu and the leader of the Ravagers used to be climbing buddies. Really deepens their relationship.
Great video as always!
This is one of my guilty pleasure movies. I think it's great!
Film is good but goodamn is it nasty. I mean, people don't just die, they fucking suffer. Leaves me a little cold in my old age
Evil Frank at the beginning was always the funniest part of the movie for me.
Man, this vid was such a good laugh. Nice one man!!
"I told you to call me Night Hawk." dying here
In the begining of the movie when Sarah falls to her death everyone needs to watch the face of Frank . Best acting actor ever. 👏🤣
Did he win a plethora of awards?
@@threatassessment606 No, but he did a lot of cocaine and felt like a winner anyway. Both before and after the scene!
You missed the part, where the helicopter pilot is laughing while the girl is falling.
Glad to see you've got round to doing Cinema Sins, Everything Wrong With... Die Hard on a Mountain.
probably your best yet. great work!
Until next time my RedEyed friends. Stay Happy and Stay Healthy!
