That was not a scale model that they blew up. It was an actual house. A Mexican couple was getting divorced and when the production company wanted to blow it up, they said go for it. A bit of trivia you don't hear every day. It was in the making of portion of the DVD.
Small moment but I love the juxtaposition of the special forces’ reaction when they realize a group of kids are going to be caught in the blast and the reaction of the CIA director to the blast. Guys on the frontline have to see the human cost of their operation and live with it while some suit thousands of miles away is eating his lunch and dropping one liners
If you hold off on killing the bad guys just because innocents are in the way, then the bad guys will always put innocents in the way. I'm totally fine with this. Nobody told them to have kids AND involve their whole family in high-stakes crime. Those kids would have gone to college on bloodmoney anyway and their professors would have been bribed or threatened to pass them. The world lost nothing here.
@@yawningpheonix I'm not sure I entirely agree but it's not like the cartels have a reputation of mercy themselves so it's not like this wasn't some sort of potential outcome.
TBH, it's the only thing I didn't like about the movie. The book depicted Ritter as just a man following orders, but then realizing how fucked up everything became and helped out Ryan and the SF group stuck in Colombia. It was Cutter and the President who were the real assholes. It was a good movie though.

Paul Johnson I think he was talking about how the explosion was realistic as to how actual Bombs are. Most movies have bombs create a huge fire ball, but in reality they don’t.
Clancy's books are like a dozen short stories all rolled into a great story and coming together for a great ending . Sum of All their Fears is his best (most scary) work .
When I started dabbling in writing, I realized all the Clancys I read as a teen were an influence as my opening scene featured a quick snippet of a security guard's life before some main characters interact with him, and he's never to be seen again in the story. I loved those and the minor character threads we got in those books.
@@RugbyGuide If you haven't, read some Bruce Catton. Especially the Army of the Potomac trilogy. He had a way of taking a person's dilemma and connecting it to the larger drama.

@Tragic Machine To be related doesn't mean being criminal too. But hey let's screw courts, judges, lawyers and attorneys and drop a bomb instead. Good enough, eh?
I don't know how to tell you this Mike but this clip is from a movie. I'm pretty sure the actors and film crew didn't have a gun/ammo/grenade stash on the right side of the compound. That's unless they had an inkling they were going to get screwed out of their paycheques and had a back up plan.
I recently read the book, and it's a nice touch that they had the LGB have a blueish main body. That's correct to the book. In the book, it's actually an A-6 intruder that carries out this mission off the carrier USS Ranger in the Pacific. Following orders, The carrier's CAG Commander sneaks away during a major exercise to carry out this attack alone, and the special Cellulose encased bombs are colored blue to differentiate them in the carrier's magazine.
Actually the bluish color denotes an inert or practice bomb, even on a carrier. Having not read the book (and it's been a long time since I saw the movie) the whole clandestine idea of sneaking away with a practice bomb that was actually live is neat idea. I really need to rewatch the movie (wish I had tome to read the book).
@@whytebearconcepts In the book there was a FleetEx, with them trying out new tactics from Cmdr Robby Jackson who is working in the Pentagon at the time. So with them simulating an alpha strike on an enemy carrier, the A-6 with the test bombs from China Lake were able to head to the coast. The pilot puts on a transponder and pretends to be a cargo jumbo jet. So they just fly along, dropping the bomb, and then flying back to the carrier after they leave the ATC for that area. With the bomb being made of heavy, stiffened cardboard with plastic fins and a plastic seeker, the only evidence left is the traces of the rare explosive filler used.

it would be idiotic to do a mission like that without keeping a checklist to know if everyone you were looking to kill were in the building before dropping the ordnance.
@@dehash666 hey we've got Better Call Saul, which is a bit of a slow burn, but I think it's actually better than Breaking Bad. BB definitely had some great and unforgettable moments, but the writing and story are way stronger in BCS I feel.
I more or less remembered this scene from the time I saw this movie on the theater, many years ago. Never forgot the paveway bomb tracking the laser beam. But in my memory the plane that dropped the bomb was a F16, now I see It was a F18 Hornet.
It was a Navy bird, forget which one... but I doubt it was a F/A-18!!! (Don't think they were in squadron service afloat during the time period that the story in the book was about!)
@@timengineman2nd714 Hornet came into service with the Navy in 1984, USMC in 1983. The movies based on Tom Clancy Novels aren’t necessarily set in the same time as the novels. I mean Sum of All Fears the movie was clearly happening in the late 1990s/21st century.
Funny to see people commenting that having the kids in the scene was a way to trick people into feeling sorry for the drug barons. For one thing, what would you expect in reality? Drug barons are people too. They have wives, they have children, and they live with them in their houses. If you're going to drop bombs on their houses then you are going to murder innocent children, there's no two ways about it. And that's exactly the point of this scene - the writer (and this point was made by Clancy in the book too) is pointing out that this kind of attack carries the near-certainty of collateral damage, and you need to think about whether that's justified or not. For another, anybody who thinks this is unrealistic needs a reality check. When the movie was made this was very much a "what if" kind of scenario. Now it's common American practice to bomb people from afar, and a great many of those people killed are innocent bystanders. Hell, it's not uncommon for Americans to bomb a place, wait half an hour, then bomb it again to get the first responders. And now you have a President who openly states that he *wants* to murder the children of the terrorists. And most Americans seem to think that's just fine. So don't pretend this is some cinematic trick to make you care. This is US policy, plain and simple.
In 2018, 72,000 Americans will die from drug addiction. It is high time we take this sort of airstrike approach to the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel (Colombia is no longer the major threat).
Considering how the F/A 18 isn't a high altitude multi-role aircraft, I find it especially believable that you can't hear it above them as the bomb is released.
Soleimani's hit, when you look at the scene, was a MESSAGE. The UAV hit HIS vehicle, and his vehicle ONLY. The front and follow cars were untouched. The traffic in the other lanes was untouched. That was us saying if we want you, we can get you, wherever you are, whomever you're with. You can be in a convoy at highway speed and we'll turn your car inside out without hurting our informant in the other car that tipped us off, or the commuting family in oncoming traffic. Hellfire missiles are supersonic, so you won't even hear it coming.
Behold the Paveway Bomb cellulose powder mixed with octo and Semtex when this baby goes off you have a mini explosion compared to when a MOAB bomb is dropped.
Whoopsie daisy! Though it's pretty common for drug lords and the like to have their families close at hand while doing business. Meeting at a big house like that? Bound to have innocents in the picture. It's never just the bad guys.
Well, it's just a small collateral damage within some acceptable range...... You sure you want to spare them, and wait for 10 or 20 years until those kids showing up in front of your door for revenge?
Damn, the effects look amazing, even for a movie from 1994, the effects here look a lot more better than the CGI in recent action films. Why can't we go back to these kind of special FX?
The book is excellent, too. Regarding your comment - in the book one of the intelligence analysts makes a comment that he'd like the U.S. military to target the coca-producing areas of Colombia "with a 2 megaton bomb, air burst at 4,000 feet above ground level"
@@kevinhammond2361 Yeah, but the whole point of the book is about how such operations can get out of hand. Narcos is another good example of how pursuing law enforcement operations as a military one gets out of hand and can make the problem worse, and the Narcos shows are based on actual events.
“You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.” - John Lennon "Boom." - Robert Ritter
Some things in Clancy’s book the military would not go along with for the movie and were deleted or changed - among them was the shootdown without warning of a suspected drug plane, and Harrison Ford’s commandeering of a US Army helicopter - changed to a civilian helicopter and pilot.
They also cut vast chunks completely out of the story for time. They may have changed the helicopter scenes because they were part of a lengthy sub-plot culminating with the death of Master Sergeant Zimmer and Ryan's promise to ensure that his 7 kids would never have to worry about paying for college, which spills into "The Sum of All Fears" as a lengthy sub-plot involving Cathy Ryan suspecting Jack of having an affair with Zimmer's widow which, in turn, negatively influences the main plot as Ryan's advice is repeatedly doubted/questioned by National Command Authority as the world teeters on the brink of a devastating nuclear exchange. TLDR: NO film has EVER done a Clancy novel justice!
Very interesting - I had not read the book but agree the quality of the movies could be better. I heard about CPD when it was filming because a writer friend of mine did an interview with Phillip Noyce and tried to sell him on a video storyboard idea he developed - even showing him a promo we did of the town ambush scene. The video used real “actors” and I had made some prop weapons for the bad guys choosing the H&K MP5 machine gun and RPG7 rocket launcher (because that’s what bad guys often use in movies) turned out that’s what they did use. Anyway Noyce wasn’t interested.
"How did the meeting go, sweetheart?" "Oh, it was a big hit. The Americans did a presentation that really brought the house down. Well, sort of up and _then_ down."
Honestly I’m amazed by how the drop of the Paveway was so realistic. Atleast by Hollywood standards. MFDs looked good and pickle button was correct. Apart from no TGP open and no master arm it’s almost percect
@@CuckFinn MFD is for Multi-Fonction Display, little LCD screens used to display the numerous menus or the radar scope or the visualisation of a weapon or a pod. The pickle button is the button you press to release your selected weapon. TGP stands for "targeting pod", a sensor using an optical/IR camera and a laser designator to detect, track and aim laser-guided weapons. Master arm switch, well, do I need to explain ?
That and dropping through cloud that would possibly obscure the laser. The plane would have to drop blind in roughly the right place for the seeker to pick up the laser after it broke through the cloud.
@No1sonuk What we see in the movie is called "buddy lasing" where the laser designation is ensured by someone else than the plane that released the bomb. It can be another airplane who has the same laser code or by a soldier on the ground equipped with a laser designator. The plane is just here to deliver the bomb and can leave immediately without caring of the guidance. Moreover, a laser guided bomb is guided by laser only in the very last seconds. Before, it follows a ballistic path under the influence of gravity, altitude and initial speed.
This is such a bizarre scene for it's mix of realism and inaccuracies. It's a real shot of an F/A-18C hornet, it's a real shot of inside the cockpit and going from the HSI page to selecting the stores page and the weapon, but the in cockpit shot is a hornet on the ground assumedly on ground power as on the left MFD you can see all the cautions and it's clear the engines aren't on, and the aircraft is on safe. It's very bizarre to select full throttle and afterburner right as you drop the bomb, but he pushes the correct weapons release button although you are supposed to press and hold for 10s as you fly though the release point. It's the correct weapon that's shown dropping but it's blue in the middle meaning it's a training bomb, and they don't show it 'banging' side to side as it tracks the laser
"Unless you need something bigger." "Well sir, a RC truck is a little small..." "What? That's not an RC truck. That's a real truck." "Are you kidding me? Look at it! That's a remote controlled toy truck. You're miscalculating the range and have the dimensions off." "There's guys getting out of it! It's not an RC truck." "Maybe if you got a proper pair of binoculars you could see properly."
With an explosion that large, I would've loved to have seen the crater made by it. Amazing how accurate the bomb was being dropped from say 20k feet and a laser. With an explosion that size, the blast wave should've shattered the windshield of that car which couldn't be more than 100 meters away.
@@vitamc1213 Indeed, Laser guided. That was what the commando team was doing, targeting the car. The laser scatters its light back out, and the rocket follows that scattered light to the destination. When the bomb is detatched from the fighter, you see the grid fins deploy, which give the bomb the ability to control its own fall angle.
@@ChannelReuploads9451 The missile knows where it is at all times. It knowns this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't it now is.

They may have had a limited time window for the mission to keep the strike team before they had to run and hide.
Remember this mission wasnt supposed to exist.
I say that all the time when I'm driving "dammit why doesn't he fix this road?!" lol
Just like michigan
Rest In Peace little kids.
Tight tight tight 🤯
Those little kids shouldn't be hostages before they got killed😢.
Tuco got PTSD from that situation and ended up going to the dark side.
Or maybe he went on to becoming the homie in the movie Training Day.
Holy Shit it's Tuco and the Green Goblin ahaha. Dam they loook young af
Who is tuco
Welcome to internet! Go see "Breaking Bad" the best tv show/series ever. I am kinda jealous you didn't see it yet.
Both are psychopaths in their role 🤣
Lol it is tuco. Tight tight tight!!!
@@dehash666 hey we've got Better Call Saul, which is a bit of a slow burn, but I think it's actually better than Breaking Bad. BB definitely had some great and unforgettable moments, but the writing and story are way stronger in BCS I feel.
Great scouting AFTER pulling the trigger. :-D
I more or less remembered this scene from the time I saw this movie on the theater, many years ago. Never forgot the paveway bomb tracking the laser beam. But in my memory the plane that dropped the bomb was a F16, now I see It was a F18 Hornet.
It was a Navy bird, forget which one... but I doubt it was a F/A-18!!! (Don't think they were in squadron service afloat during the time period that the story in the book was about!)
@@timengineman2nd714 Hornet came into service with the Navy in 1984, USMC in 1983. The movies based on Tom Clancy Novels aren’t necessarily set in the same time as the novels. I mean Sum of All Fears the movie was clearly happening in the late 1990s/21st century.
Funny to see people commenting that having the kids in the scene was a way to trick people into feeling sorry for the drug barons.
For one thing, what would you expect in reality? Drug barons are people too. They have wives, they have children, and they live with them in their houses. If you're going to drop bombs on their houses then you are going to murder innocent children, there's no two ways about it. And that's exactly the point of this scene - the writer (and this point was made by Clancy in the book too) is pointing out that this kind of attack carries the near-certainty of collateral damage, and you need to think about whether that's justified or not.
For another, anybody who thinks this is unrealistic needs a reality check. When the movie was made this was very much a "what if" kind of scenario. Now it's common American practice to bomb people from afar, and a great many of those people killed are innocent bystanders. Hell, it's not uncommon for Americans to bomb a place, wait half an hour, then bomb it again to get the first responders.
And now you have a President who openly states that he *wants* to murder the children of the terrorists. And most Americans seem to think that's just fine.
So don't pretend this is some cinematic trick to make you care. This is US policy, plain and simple.
the kids arent innocent. they would of become the next generation druglords, so better kill them before its too late
man, I read these Jack Ryan's series pocket books way back in the 90s: Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games, The Hunt for Red October
Dropping bomb with weapons at SAFE mode...
qwew eweqwe blue...
0:46 For some reason, pilot didn't switch the master arm
"SAFE"
Glad to see Elias made it out.
Love the F/A18, most underrated fighter attack plane of all time
Circular Error Probability: Zero. Impact with high order detonation, have a nice day.
Into attack. Pickle is hot. Target is acquired and lit. Coming down
And let the fat lady sing.
@@kirra9152 F-18 Pilot: _Elvis has left the building!_
Read the book huh? Nice
Cartel kids grow up to be Cartel bosses
I was searching for this movie my whole life. Thank you TH-cam
That missile tracking was tight tight tight !
"Think we used enough dynamite, Butch?"
Those weren’t kids; they were unlawful combatants.
In 2018, 72,000 Americans will die from drug addiction. It is high time we take this sort of airstrike approach to the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel (Colombia is no longer the major threat).
Yeah, legalize drugs and watch deaths skyrocket from 72,000. People miss the point that the crap is illegal for a good reason.
@Bugler55 alcohol, guns, and driving are not as addictive as narc. 72.000 death also mean people sometimes are that stupid.
1:58 Love that little detail with the blastwave from the explosion taking out the power pole causing a flash over.
Considering how the F/A 18 isn't a high altitude multi-role aircraft, I find it especially believable that you can't hear it above them as the bomb is released.
Higher service ceiling than the A6 they used in the book, haha.
What's with the opera glasses, Willem?
"Oh, good... I love this aria."
Anyone here after Soleimani's death???
Haha. Yup. I thought of this scene as soon as I heard the news.
Soleimani's hit, when you look at the scene, was a MESSAGE.
The UAV hit HIS vehicle, and his vehicle ONLY. The front and follow cars were untouched. The traffic in the other lanes was untouched.
That was us saying if we want you, we can get you, wherever you are, whomever you're with. You can be in a convoy at highway speed and we'll turn your car inside out without hurting our informant in the other car that tipped us off, or the commuting family in oncoming traffic. Hellfire missiles are supersonic, so you won't even hear it coming.
“Easy Rhino, impact with high order detonation. Have a nice day.”
Seen this movie like 4 different times, never recognised Tuco until now 💀
First time seeing Tuco, I was like, "He seems familiar" but couldn't remember where I saw him before.
Why arent we knocking the cartels out like this daily?
You obviously haven’t watched the whole movie. Suffice it to say, everyone’s involved.
Behold the Paveway Bomb cellulose powder mixed with octo and Semtex when this baby goes off you have a mini explosion compared to when a MOAB bomb is dropped.
By the way, that bomb is similar in design to one designed by the Germans in the '40s for destroying battleships.
“You know
I’m something of an operative myself”
Lol - “wait they have kids?” “Sir” “shit” “yea that was a big opps
Whoopsie daisy!
Though it's pretty common for drug lords and the like to have their families close at hand while doing business. Meeting at a big house like that? Bound to have innocents in the picture. It's never just the bad guys.
Well, it's just a small collateral damage within some acceptable range......
You sure you want to spare them, and wait for 10 or 20 years until those kids showing up in front of your door for revenge?
they would of turned into the next generation druglords anyway. and cartels intentionally kill kids all the time so its fair game
Damn, the effects look amazing, even for a movie from 1994, the effects here look a lot more better than the CGI in recent action films. Why can't we go back to these kind of special FX?
because it was a actual explosion that they filmed.
the little CGI there was looked awful (the lighting on the bomb looks nothing like the plane)
That was a great movie. I think I need to watch it again. I would love to catch a bunch of MS13 leaders in one place and drop some ordinance on them.
The book is excellent, too. Regarding your comment - in the book one of the intelligence analysts makes a comment that he'd like the U.S. military to target the coca-producing areas of Colombia "with a 2 megaton bomb, air burst at 4,000 feet above ground level"
@@kevinhammond2361 There are no coca growing places anywhere near Medellin.
@@theshapeofthesword8973 thanks - I edited accordingly
@@kevinhammond2361 Yeah, but the whole point of the book is about how such operations can get out of hand. Narcos is another good example of how pursuing law enforcement operations as a military one gets out of hand and can make the problem worse, and the Narcos shows are based on actual events.
Yeah and kill all the kids too right?
Dafoe and the other guy (forget his name), I thought were the perfect Clarke and Chavez

“You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.” - John Lennon
"Boom." - Robert Ritter
Some things in Clancy’s book the military would not go along with for the movie and were deleted or changed - among them was the shootdown without warning of a suspected drug plane, and Harrison Ford’s commandeering of a US Army helicopter - changed to a civilian helicopter and pilot.
They also cut vast chunks completely out of the story for time. They may have changed the helicopter scenes because they were part of a lengthy sub-plot culminating with the death of Master Sergeant Zimmer and Ryan's promise to ensure that his 7 kids would never have to worry about paying for college, which spills into "The Sum of All Fears" as a lengthy sub-plot involving Cathy Ryan suspecting Jack of having an affair with Zimmer's widow which, in turn, negatively influences the main plot as Ryan's advice is repeatedly doubted/questioned by National Command Authority as the world teeters on the brink of a devastating nuclear exchange. TLDR: NO film has EVER done a Clancy novel justice!
Very interesting - I had not read the book but agree the quality of the movies could be better. I heard about CPD when it was filming because a writer friend of mine did an interview with Phillip Noyce and tried to sell him on a video storyboard idea he developed - even showing him a promo we did of the town ambush scene. The video used real “actors” and I had made some prop weapons for the bad guys choosing the H&K MP5 machine gun and RPG7 rocket launcher (because that’s what bad guys often use in movies) turned out that’s what they did use. Anyway Noyce wasn’t interested.
Back in the days when Holliwood was making awesome things
The explosion looks like fireworks.
Taxpayers` cash at work.
Who knew they made films with taxes?
Taxpayers' cash at work indeed, and well spent! Love to think that part of my paycheck goes toward the fiery, skin-melting deaths of narcofascists!
Money well spent, I'd say.
Bang for the buck. Here all week try the veal.
I'm not complaining
There is no CGI in this scene nor scale model
I always got a kick out of Escobedo complaining about the road. It was probably intentionally made that way.
(1:45) that few seconds that messes with your sleep for the rest of your life...
It was too late bomb was alredy accuired it target! Bad intelligent and recon job here!
they would of become the next generation druglords anyway. plus cartels keep killing kids on purpose all the time, so its fair game
"How did the meeting go, sweetheart?"
"Oh, it was a big hit. The Americans did a presentation that really brought the house down. Well, sort of up and _then_ down."
It blew me away!
In the novel, the plane was an A6 Intruder.
Wish they left in the line "Think you used enough dynamite, Butch?"
Honestly I’m amazed by how the drop of the Paveway was so realistic. Atleast by Hollywood standards. MFDs looked good and pickle button was correct. Apart from no TGP open and no master arm it’s almost percect
What do those things mean
@@CuckFinn MFD is for Multi-Fonction Display, little LCD screens used to display the numerous menus or the radar scope or the visualisation of a weapon or a pod. The pickle button is the button you press to release your selected weapon. TGP stands for "targeting pod", a sensor using an optical/IR camera and a laser designator to detect, track and aim laser-guided weapons. Master arm switch, well, do I need to explain ?
That and dropping through cloud that would possibly obscure the laser. The plane would have to drop blind in roughly the right place for the seeker to pick up the laser after it broke through the cloud.
@No1sonuk What we see in the movie is called "buddy lasing" where the laser designation is ensured by someone else than the plane that released the bomb. It can be another airplane who has the same laser code or by a soldier on the ground equipped with a laser designator. The plane is just here to deliver the bomb and can leave immediately without caring of the guidance.
Moreover, a laser guided bomb is guided by laser only in the very last seconds. Before, it follows a ballistic path under the influence of gravity, altitude and initial speed.
@@GrandsPas That's just the long version of what I wrote...
Though, IIRC, the pilot said he'd locked onto the laser...
You know, I'm something of a bomber of drug lords myself.
This needs to happen more often
That GBU-12 would have been useless... Now a GBU-10, there's a big pow wow!
This is such a bizarre scene for it's mix of realism and inaccuracies. It's a real shot of an F/A-18C hornet, it's a real shot of inside the cockpit and going from the HSI page to selecting the stores page and the weapon, but the in cockpit shot is a hornet on the ground assumedly on ground power as on the left MFD you can see all the cautions and it's clear the engines aren't on, and the aircraft is on safe. It's very bizarre to select full throttle and afterburner right as you drop the bomb, but he pushes the correct weapons release button although you are supposed to press and hold for 10s as you fly though the release point. It's the correct weapon that's shown dropping but it's blue in the middle meaning it's a training bomb, and they don't show it 'banging' side to side as it tracks the laser
So was there an ammunition dump at the house? That explosion was huge!
How did that antenna looking pole thing in the front blow up?
The silent missile descent is the scariest part.
Its more like a guided gravity bomb. Yeah it is eerie to think that you have a lovely day right before the bang.
"Unless you need something bigger."
"Well sir, a RC truck is a little small..."
"What? That's not an RC truck. That's a real truck."
"Are you kidding me? Look at it! That's a remote controlled toy truck. You're miscalculating the range and have the dimensions off."
"There's guys getting out of it! It's not an RC truck."
"Maybe if you got a proper pair of binoculars you could see properly."
“Pickle is hot” LMAO
And bothered...
„Look there up in the air, it’s Freedom!“
0:58 A Full house? I got a straight flush!
Collateral damage were those children 😢

With an explosion that large, I would've loved to have seen the crater made by it. Amazing how accurate the bomb was being dropped from say 20k feet and a laser. With an explosion that size, the blast wave should've shattered the windshield of that car which couldn't be more than 100 meters away.
The scene's following it do show the crater. With what remained of the truck at the bottom.
The bomb was laser guided? So, wouldn't that be accurate?
@@vitamc1213 Indeed, Laser guided. That was what the commando team was doing, targeting the car. The laser scatters its light back out, and the rocket follows that scattered light to the destination. When the bomb is detatched from the fighter, you see the grid fins deploy, which give the bomb the ability to control its own fall angle.
@@ChannelReuploads9451 The seeker on the nose controls the direction. The tail fins are for drag stabilisation.
@@ChannelReuploads9451 The missile knows where it is at all times. It knowns this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't it now is.
Before Green Goblin got his glider
Fortunately, those children were made out of drugs.
DaveDexterMusic That’s ignorant and just plain stupid. If your dad was a dug dealer & somebody blew up your entire family, would you still think it was funny?
@@coolcat6303 YNope, you're the ignorant one Cool Brat. No, chances are his Dad is NOT a drug dealer. So... those LITTLE kids?In real life... they would have grown up to be BIG drug dealers... so too bad.
It's because of Cry Closet using Karens like yourself that we have all these problems today.
Waaahhhh... what about the children??
Waaaahhhhh.
You sicken me.
they would of become the next druglords anyway. kill them before its too late.
From playing the DCS F-18 I now know that the pilot selects the MK 82 LG instead of the GBU-12, but then releases the GBU-12 anyway. All the while his master arm is set to safe.
Rikert is apparently watching a AGM-65A TV guided Maverick instead of the GBU-12.
These boys are wild!!!
The mk82 is one of the components of a gbu-12, same thing really.
One of my friend have this movie DVD just only for this scene
is that tuco salamanca blowing his competitor.
How did he drop the bomb with his master arm off , canopy open, hud off , data link off , no hydraulic pressure and at a speed off 43 mph? 0:44
I think it reads 48 mph.
Easy… it was done by the power of SCREENWRITING😅
"Circular error probability zero. Impact with high-order detonation. Have a nice day."
omg i just realized this!....ding chavez is Tuuco Salemanca from Breaking Bad.....well he turns into him later i guess
Tuco in his early years before he moved to Albuquerque.
