Congratulations on your 85k! 🎉 Movie = $5 Soft drink =$3 Your reaction = priceless Just my opinion. Anyone that gets an adrenaline rush for going towards danger is either a sicopath (yes misspelling is intentional) or faking bravado for fear. I respect all people in uniform but overusing the term hero loses its real value. I’ve saved at least 2 lives in my life time. I wasn’t a hero in either one. People that like to read about their accomplishments are egotistical. All of my awards and commendations are packed up in a box. Boys that really miss their dad when they pass away is because their hero just passed away and you put them on a pedestal trying to live up to that standard. It’s a pity not all have this problem. If you are interested, you should read the book, The Great Chicago Fire. I read it growing up. It happened in 1871 speculation it was started by Molly’s cow. Kirk Russell makes some great movies. I agree with the other comment, I wish Hollywood would stop glamourising fires, police chases, serial kilers and such. It attracts the wrong kind of people. Keep up the good work. 😂
In the US, it is illegal to park your car near a fire hydrant. If your car is blocking access to the hydrant , the firefighters çan legally break the car windows in order to thread the fire hose through the car.
It's the same in Commonwealth countries, so it's strange she doesn't know this. I'm in a Commonwealth country (Namibia) and the traffic laws of our's and others(like in Canada as mentioned above.. SA, Kenya, etc..) that I've been to, prohibits you parking in front of a fire hydrant.
My dad used to be a fireman in Chicago when I was young. I remember being woken up and going to many of fires around the city growing up. This was his favorite movie and always reminds me of him. I still cry every time Steven dies, you aren't the only one. Amazing reaction.
Was a first year firefighter (volunteer) when this came out, the whole department went to see it..I felt bad for the citizens in the theater with us, as we were going "you can't do that" in certain scenes or critiquing the movie in general.....Thanks beautiful Kamilla for reacting to this!
Kurt Russell was my favourite actor growing up, and he still is I guess - and not surprisingly I absolutely love this movie! And RIP Donald Sutherland (Ronald) - another one of my all time favourites. He played so many eccentric characters, and always brilliantly.
Hey to everyone that served there country and particular cities you served in. I was also a firefighter 👨🏽🚒 for 10+ yrs and also served in the military for 5yrs .. and I have to say BACK DRAFT was what made me want to be a fire fighter!
35:45 This is a reference to earlier statements where people who love it look at fire, the "animal," as a living and breathing entity. He is trying to see if Stephen looks at fire the same way he does.
"Alright Steven, you win." Centane: there's no victory! You're supposed to be brothers! Steven knew Brian's heart wasnt in it because he feared the fire that killed their dad. That he was only doing it because he thought it was his duty to their dad, to be like him. And the romance of it. The thrill. Like when you are enamored by an airshow and think you want to be a pilot but your body and brain cannot handle the maneuvering. Steven did it because he loved doing it. And knew eventually Brian's fear would make him hesitate and get him killed. So he was trying to make him quit before that happened. That was the "victory". To keep Brian safe from his own fear driven notion of being a firefighter. Steven was being a good older brother. He WAS sticking up for Brian the best way he could. He wasnt making it a competition with Brian. He was competing with Brian's misdirected ideas. That's why Steven was so proud if him at the end and so glad to have been wrong about Brian not being able to overcome his fear.
RIP Donald Sutherland. His starring roles were fab... but his bit parts in to 90s/2000s were off the chart. This and JFK are my fondest memories of him. The way his character turns from amicable and playful to mercilessly psychotic is chilling.
Ronald the firebug wasnt Brian's dad's killer. The 2 arent related that way. But as an irredeemable fire bug, a story like Brian's would definitely be of interest to someone like Ronald.... someone who loved fire TOO much would love to know how fire affected someone with Brian's trauma. Like... loving the thunder and lightning of a storm and being amazed and curious how anyone could be scared of it and why.
Oh my God... this was SUCH an important film for me personally... as a firefighter and as a kid who had a hard time with talking to people about trauma and feelings.
Ron Howard films you may have seen: Splash (1984), Cocoon (1985), Willow (1988), Parenthood (1989), Apollo 13 (1995), Ransom (1996), The Grinch (2000), A Beautiful Mind (2001), Cinderella Man (2005), The Da Vinci Code (2006), Frost/Nixon (2008), Rush (2013). If you've not seen any of these films, add them to your list for future reactions. Although most famous through most of his career for playing Richie Cunningham from Happy Days, his repertoire as a director is phenomenal. He is among my favourite directors and has been since I was a kid.
I saw this movie in the theater with a friend who came from 3 generations of Boston firefighters...we went to the pub next door afterwards with a lot of the folks from the movie and I told him if people knew his background he could drink free all night.
"The only way to kill it is to love it a little." Centane: i wouldnt say it like that. What Ringold meant is that when you study something, when you begin to understand it, you start to appreciate the mechanisms, the motivations, it transcends to something more than just a thing. But that same understanding reveals its vulnerabilities, allows you to anticipate it. Steven has that sort of appreciation and understanding of fire, whether studied or intuited, which is why he's such a badass... he can anticipate the fire. At that point in the story, Brian has only fear and hatred of fire.
I’ve been a career firefighter for 20 years. No movie and all the bs drama they can dream up can come close to the darkness, heat and physical demands you experience in a fire.
Another interesting fact: a call went out for a few hundred fire fighters to dress and participate in the funeral parade in Chicago. Well many many more fire fighters showed up, making the parade even more spectacular than Howard had planned.....
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It made me love firefighters. Ron Howard, the screenwriter (who was a firefighter before he wrote the script), the cast, and the special effects crew all did amazing jobs.
I was a seasonal firefighter in California. I'd never want an officer like Bull. The fire doesn't care how brave you are. It's going to do whatever the conditions allow.
Universal Studios used to have a Backdraft pyrotechnic show. I remember it being so hot, even though it was designed to be safe for an audience. I can't imagine how hot a real fire would be. I have mad respect for firefighters who brave that.
25:55 -- RE: The guy at the morgue...; Fun Fact! That's Clint Howard, Ron Howard's brother and this was his most "normal" role ever until "Apollo 13" IMO.
For another movie about fire fighters, you should watch *Only the Brave,* based on a true story about an elite crew of firefighters fighting wildfires in Arizona.
*#Backdraft** Attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood & Universal Studios Japan, based on the 1991 film of the same name opened 1992. Visitors could learn how the pyrotechnic effects were created. The Hollywood one closed in 2010 replaced by **#Transformers** & the japan attraction closed in 2020 due to **#Covid** with no plans to reopen*
I love Backdraft, it's a brilliant movie, and Steven is a dick in it, but great at the same time, but very moving at the end, Donald Sutherland is also brilliant in it.
I dont know what makes me feel older. Seeing this film in theaters, remembering Archer Ave looking like that, or my mother in law showing me pictures of my wife with the cast because she grew up around the corner of that firehouse. Nah, it’s all 3.
Definitely. It is a love letter to fire fighters in the same way Top Gun was a love letter to the best of the military, and in particular, naval aviators.
Wow! Kamilla so glad to see you watch this!!! But if you could watch the true story of "Only The Brave" that would be truly fantastic 😊 it's absolutely the best movie about Firefighters 😢😢
I am writing this to help out kamilla and this video and this channel with the algorithm everyone hit the like button and the share button because it helps kamilla a lot and check out her gaming channel and her twitch channel and her anime channel and most importantly her Patreon🥺🙏
Jennifer Jason Leigh, daughter of Hollywood royalty and too many great films to name! Got her start in the future stars making movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High!
Her first film was actually the slasher, "Eyes Of A Stranger". She played the deaf, blind and mute sister of a TV reporter who's on the trail of a murderous rapist.
Pretty solid perfomances by the cast - but my favorite is Donald Sutherland as the creepy arsonist Ronald. His parole hearing is a revelation of the mindset of a true arsonist - an epic performance.
What a great movie. I was 11 when this came out and I kept asking myself the deep question "Is fire a living thing?" Anyway, another really good action drama kinda centered around firefighting is the movie "Frequency" starring Jim Caviezel and Dennis Quaid. You'll cry watching that one.
I think this movie and another movie of the time (which will remain anonymous for hope you’ll eventually see it) were the first ones to break my heart… how dare they do that to little kids 🤣😭
Havent seen this movie in a looong time ...-good movie ,) You watched this movie like you were borned in this era ,and you had the exact same motion like i useally get after a touchy classic 80's 90's like most of them are. Proud of you that you find it in your heart to watch these movies :) Keep up the good work.
Fireman here. Even though a large portion of this is pure Hollywood there is quite a bit of realism as well. For example, the smoke getting sucked back under the doors almost as if the fire is “breathing” is completely accurate. How a backdraft works is the fire is starving for air and when you open a door or a window and allow the fire to “breathe” it will in fact ignite and blow out
Several of the actors are listed in the credits as stunt men because they did so many of their own stunts! Ron Howard (the director) said that even 15-20 years after this movie came out, as he is walking by a fire station in Chicago or New York fire fighters in the station will call him in to have coffee with them because of this movie. While not totally accurate in some respects they honor him for the respect and way he portrayed them.
When we see we are the story of the burns of fire we see. When we see a promising future in being fireman when it runs in our family to be one. When we see somethings don't change but other things do to know and not know what went wrong and somethings are going right.
According to many, the best firefighter movie and the one that inspired many to want to be a firefighter. There is another movie that is a classic: The Towering Inferno, about the fire of a 145-story building on the day of its inauguration, is a famous movie of the disaster movie genre, from old Hollywood, is from 1974, with stars of the time as Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, Wiliam Holden, Fred Astaire, Richard Chamberlain, etc..
While I still watch this movie, it baffles me that people don't react to Ladder 49 with John Travolta and Joaquin Phoenix. That movie is one of the biggest emotional roller coasters in the park (IMHO of course). I enjoy that more than I did this one. Still a great reaction Centane!
One thing about structure fires , most the time there is so much smoke you don't see the fire just and orange glo , but that s Hollywood . I know I always had a little fear on the way to a scene , and would tell joke s on the way .
This is a great movie. Sure they take liberties with some firefighting aspects, still it's great movie making. My grandfather was a fireman for more than 25 years, retiring as a Chief. I used to ride my bike to his fire station after school. Some of my fondest memories were the times I got to ride on calls. Of course I had to stay with the truck.
Not iconic like "Escape From New York," but nevertheless one of my all time favorite Kurt Russell roles. I remember seeing what I believe was the first theatrical trailer while waiting for some other movie to start, and the heroic music and the dramatic visuals made have to see it when it came out.
Whenever I see Jennifer Jason Leigh, I immediately think of Fast Times movie. I forgot Clint Howard was in this. I don't think he'd even have a career in Hollywood if it wasn't for Ron.
I spent 12 years as a volunteer firefighter and 10 years as a reserve firefighter. In the 700+ fire calls I went on, I only saw one backdraft. This movie gives the impression that fire is a rabid wolf, in a cave, waiting on it's chance to pounce on an unsuspecting victim. I wish Hollyweird wouldn't do that kind of thing.
We all have issues with the way Hollywood and filmmakers portray our professions. I'm a 21 year Army Veteran of several combat deployments, so I know what you're saying.
I want to thank you for being a firefighter and putting your life on the line to help people. Not many people can do that. However, this is a movie, not a documentary. Idk why people think this is 100% accurate if that's the case. You are not the only one I've seen post things like that in reactions
@@sampardowski5799u know why people think it’s 100% accurate? I remember when this came out they got so called” fire fighters” to say it was realistic. I had 2 family members that were firefighters & they both said it was completely far fetched! Even down to running into a building with jacket undone & no oxygen!
@@sampardowski5799 Believe it or not, there are people that think what they see in movies is 100% accurate. At one job, a co-worker said: "The reason that they have so much air pollution in Los Angeles is because they have a volcano" (He was referencing the movie "Volcano"). I didn't know what to say. I just walked away.
You may have seen other Ron Howard films: Splash Willow Cocoon Apollo 13 Cinderella Man A Beautiful Mind Frost/Nixon Rush The Da Vinci Code / Angels and Demons / Inferno
Movie filmed with real fire and practical effects, today something like this would be done with CGI, and it would not be the same, it is the special thing about the movies of the 90s, where they were filmed with these techniques, combining the real with the practical and results in very real fire scenes.
You gotta watch "THE MISSION" (1986): Jeremy Iron from Die Hard III and The Time Machine, Liam Nelsson from Darkman and Schinder's List and Robrt DeNiro...
I became a firefighter because of this movie! I always love seeing people react to it and yours was phenomenal! If you want to watch another firefighter movie there’s one called Ladder 49, more realistic and less Hollywood. Both are amazing movies I highly suggest you check it out!
He had done some serious moneymaking films prior to Backdraft. But they were mostly lighthearted stuff. This was a breakthrough film for him. Showing that he could do serious and highly technical films with a large cast and make it bankable. And how cool is it that one child star directed another child star. Kurt and Ron have shown that child actor's don't need to flame out and burn away.

In the US, it is illegal to park your car near a fire hydrant. If your car is blocking access to the hydrant , the firefighters çan legally break the car windows in order to thread the fire hose through the car.
Plus, when the fire hose is full of running water, it goes straight from the fire hydrant so making the takeaway flat is essential.
It's illegal here in Canada too
Good way to teach the entitled to never park in front of a fire hydrant ever again.
It's the same in Commonwealth countries, so it's strange she doesn't know this.
I'm in a Commonwealth country (Namibia) and the traffic laws of our's and others(like in Canada as mentioned above.. SA, Kenya, etc..) that I've been to, prohibits you parking in front of a fire hydrant.
This has always been one of my favorite scenes period. Makes me laugh every time. That's what you get dumbass for parking in front of a hydrant.
My dad used to be a fireman in Chicago when I was young. I remember being woken up and going to many of fires around the city growing up. This was his favorite movie and always reminds me of him. I still cry every time Steven dies, you aren't the only one. Amazing reaction.

And RIP Donald Sutherland (Ronald) - another one of my all time favourites. He played so many eccentric characters, and always brilliantly.
Being a firefighter for 26 years had to watch this reaction
Thank you for always being there for us.
The thin red line represents the best part of our society.
Hey to everyone that served there country and particular cities you served in. I was also a firefighter 👨🏽🚒 for 10+ yrs and also served in the military for 5yrs .. and I have to say BACK DRAFT was what made me want to be a fire fighter!
A packed cast for this one. RIP Donald Sutherland.
35:45 This is a reference to earlier statements where people who love it look at fire, the "animal," as a living and breathing entity. He is trying to see if Stephen looks at fire the same way he does.
Awesome movie with an absolutely stacked cast.
I've seen this at least 20 times, and im still crying like a baby at the end.
"Alright Steven, you win."
Centane: there's no victory! You're supposed to be brothers!
Steven knew Brian's heart wasnt in it because he feared the fire that killed their dad. That he was only doing it because he thought it was his duty to their dad, to be like him. And the romance of it. The thrill. Like when you are enamored by an airshow and think you want to be a pilot but your body and brain cannot handle the maneuvering.

And knew eventually Brian's fear would make him hesitate and get him killed.
So he was trying to make him quit before that happened.

Steven was being a good older brother.
He WAS sticking up for Brian the best way he could. He wasnt making it a competition with Brian. He was competing with Brian's misdirected ideas.
That's why Steven was so proud if him at the end and so glad to have been wrong about Brian not being able to overcome his fear.
Ladder 49 is another great firefighting movie.
Only the Brave is another good one. Very underrated
This is my favorite movie drama about Chicago, every Chicagoian has their own, but this is mine. Cheers from Chicago.
My uncle and my father (both firefighters) loved this movie. My dad didn't watch it very much after my uncle died in the line of duty though.
RIP Donald Sutherland. His starring roles were fab... but his bit parts in to 90s/2000s were off the chart. This and JFK are my fondest memories of him. The way his character turns from amicable and playful to mercilessly psychotic is chilling.
Ronald the firebug wasnt Brian's dad's killer. The 2 arent related that way. But as an irredeemable fire bug, a story like Brian's would definitely be of interest to someone like Ronald.... someone who loved fire TOO much would love to know how fire affected someone with Brian's trauma.
Like... loving the thunder and lightning of a storm and being amazed and curious how anyone could be scared of it and why.
Oh my God... this was SUCH an important film for me personally... as a firefighter and as a kid who had a hard time with talking to people about trauma and feelings.
10:48 Jack McGee is one of my favorite character actors. He was a real life firefighter in New York.
Ron Howard films you may have seen: Splash (1984), Cocoon (1985), Willow (1988), Parenthood (1989), Apollo 13 (1995), Ransom (1996), The Grinch (2000), A Beautiful Mind (2001), Cinderella Man (2005), The Da Vinci Code (2006), Frost/Nixon (2008), Rush (2013). If you've not seen any of these films, add them to your list for future reactions. Although most famous through most of his career for playing Richie Cunningham from Happy Days, his repertoire as a director is phenomenal. He is among my favourite directors and has been since I was a kid.
I used to watch this movie a lot as a kid, but it’s been so long I honestly didn’t remember much.
Good movie.
“Show me your fire truck” 🚒 is probably my favorite line.
Hans Zimmer’s music is incredible, of course.
You have to “watch only the brave.”Sad true story. My uncle got to work with them in Northern California 2 years before it happened.
Great movie as well but the ending always has me crying like a baby... especially because it's a true story
That thing hits you like a freight train... Such great film though.
It is mind-boggling how that movie flies under most people's radar. Top notch.
Some other Ron Howard films that should definitely be on your list are Apollo 13 (1995), A Beautiful Mind (2001), and maybe Ransom (1996) too.
I saw this movie in the theater with a friend who came from 3 generations of Boston firefighters...we went to the pub next door afterwards with a lot of the folks from the movie and I told him if people knew his background he could drink free all night.
"The only way to kill it is to love it a little."
Centane: i wouldnt say it like that.
What Ringold meant is that when you study something, when you begin to understand it, you start to appreciate the mechanisms, the motivations, it transcends to something more than just a thing. But that same understanding reveals its vulnerabilities, allows you to anticipate it.
Steven has that sort of appreciation and understanding of fire, whether studied or intuited, which is why he's such a badass... he can anticipate the fire.
At that point in the story, Brian has only fear and hatred of fire.
I love this film so much! I highly recommend the film, Only the Brave, as well.
You will hit100k soon Kamilla, and beyond. Well deserved ❤❤
I’ve been a career firefighter for 20 years. No movie and all the bs drama they can dream up can come close to the darkness, heat and physical demands you experience in a fire.

RIP Donald Sutherland.
massive star of the 80s and 90s.
I saw this movie when I was a kid, and from that moment I knew I wanted to become a firefighter.
So you now know why " I'm tired of hearing the sirens." Is one of the saddest lines in 1990 Cinema.
I was a seasonal firefighter in California. I'd never want an officer like Bull. The fire doesn't care how brave you are. It's going to do whatever the conditions allow.
Part of the Hollywood-ized over-the-top hero that can get someone killed.
Universal Studios used to have a Backdraft pyrotechnic show. I remember it being so hot, even though it was designed to be safe for an audience. I can't imagine how hot a real fire would be. I have mad respect for firefighters who brave that.

when i was a kid in the 80s they always did reruns of the gentle ben, he is still probably best known for that.
oh no not this movie well I can expect tears 😭
Lots of tears
For another movie about fire fighters, you should watch *Only the Brave,* based on a true story about an elite crew of firefighters fighting wildfires in Arizona.
*#Backdraft** Attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood & Universal Studios Japan, based on the 1991 film of the same name opened 1992. Visitors could learn how the pyrotechnic effects were created. The Hollywood one closed in 2010 replaced by **#Transformers** & the japan attraction closed in 2020 due to **#Covid** with no plans to reopen*
I love Backdraft, it's a brilliant movie, and Steven is a dick in it, but great at the same time, but very moving at the end, Donald Sutherland is also brilliant in it.
The young guy *Tim Krizminski* also starts in a *1985* movie called *(The Heavenly Kid)* you might enjoy
As a citizen of Chicago, I want thank all the 🚒🔥 Fire Fighters and EMT's for serving the greatest city of the world 🌎🌍.
I dont know what makes me feel older. Seeing this film in theaters, remembering Archer Ave looking like that, or my mother in law showing me pictures of my wife with the cast because she grew up around the corner of that firehouse. Nah, it’s all 3.
As messed up as the motive is, the science behind a backdraft is pretty amazing.
The Top Gun of Firefighter movies. The pyrotechnic work on this was phenomenal and the character development is great
Definitely. It is a love letter to fire fighters in the same way Top Gun was a love letter to the best of the military, and in particular, naval aviators.
Wow! Kamilla so glad to see you watch this!!! But if you could watch the true story of "Only The Brave" that would be truly fantastic 😊 it's absolutely the best movie about Firefighters 😢😢
Rebecca dimornay has really done some classics! This, Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Risky Business and opening scene of wedding crashers!😅😅😅
Runaway train was her best performance
and you cant forget the great movie "the love of two brains" with clive warren
Or the three musketeers
@@Qochoc very solid, tho for the couple minutes of wedding crashers, she was brilliant!
Ron Howard makes a good movie. He was a child Star on the Andy Griffith show. His brother played the corner and is in almost all of his movies.
His brother was also a child actor in the show "Gentle Ben"
@@dirtygrunt no lie. The strangest dream I ever had was that I was President of the Clint Howard Fan Club. So odd.
I am writing this to help out kamilla and this video and this channel with the algorithm everyone hit the like button and the share button because it helps kamilla a lot and check out her gaming channel and her twitch channel and her anime channel and most importantly her Patreon🥺🙏
Jennifer Jason Leigh, daughter of Hollywood royalty and too many great films to name! Got her start in the future stars making movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High!
She is the only actress that I have heard of that would fight to be nude in films. In Fast Times, she almost got fired for insisting so hard.
Her first film was actually the slasher, "Eyes Of A Stranger". She played the deaf, blind and mute sister of a TV reporter who's on the trail of a murderous rapist.
Pretty solid perfomances by the cast - but my favorite is Donald Sutherland as the creepy arsonist Ronald. His parole hearing is a revelation of the mindset of a true arsonist - an epic performance.
What a great movie. I was 11 when this came out and I kept asking myself the deep question "Is fire a living thing?" Anyway, another really good action drama kinda centered around firefighting is the movie "Frequency" starring Jim Caviezel and Dennis Quaid. You'll cry watching that one.
Short bald guy medical examiner in EVERY Ron Howard movie, such as Apollo 13. Why? It's his brother!😮😮😮
Fun fact Robert DeNiro’s character is a real person and worked on this movie Don Rimgale was a real fire investigator. Sadly passed in 2017.
I think this movie and another movie of the time (which will remain anonymous for hope you’ll eventually see it) were the first ones to break my heart… how dare they do that to little kids 🤣😭
Havent seen this movie in a looong time ...-good movie ,)
You watched this movie like you were borned in this era ,and you had the exact same motion like i useally get after a touchy classic 80's 90's like most of them are.
Proud of you that you find it in your heart to watch these movies :)
Keep up the good work.

Really excellent reaction! I forgot about this movie. Really good cast, solid story lines, and the fine twist at the end. I always enjoy ur reactions
Dude! If you haven't seen/reacted to Apollo 13 (another Ron Howard film) you really need to. Very good flick.
Firefighter funerals are some of the most painful, hauntingly beautiful, incredible, and emotional ceremonies...
Several of the actors are listed in the credits as stunt men because they did so many of their own stunts! Ron Howard (the director) said that even 15-20 years after this movie came out, as he is walking by a fire station in Chicago or New York fire fighters in the station will call him in to have coffee with them because of this movie. While not totally accurate in some respects they honor him for the respect and way he portrayed them.

this is a amazing movie 😭
Indeed! I can't wait to see who'll react to it next!
I'd recommend "only the brave" the best firefighter movie and a true story! Watch it please! Cheers from a swedish firefighter.
I love that you don't know who it is until just before the end
Ladder 49 and Only the Brave are a must watch! Both great movies
Makes you appreciate firefighters. I'm glad that there's a fire station only a few blocks from where I live.
While I still watch this movie, it baffles me that people don't react to Ladder 49 with John Travolta and Joaquin Phoenix. That movie is one of the biggest emotional roller coasters in the park (IMHO of course). I enjoy that more than I did this one. Still a great reaction Centane!
I wish you had the chance to see this in the movies when it came out❤ You don't know what you missed
Saw where this movie is getting a remake with Glen Powell playing the Kurt Russell role. Could be interesting. I loved him in Top Gun Maverick
One thing about structure fires , most the time there is so much smoke you don't see the fire just and orange glo , but that s Hollywood . I know I always had a little fear on the way to a scene , and would tell joke s on the way .
Great movie!
This is a great movie. Sure they take liberties with some firefighting aspects, still it's great movie making.
My grandfather was a fireman for more than 25 years, retiring as a Chief. I used to ride my bike to his fire station after school. Some of my fondest memories were the times I got to ride on calls. Of course I had to stay with the truck.
What a great movie. Great reaction!
Not iconic like "Escape From New York," but nevertheless one of my all time favorite Kurt Russell roles. I remember seeing what I believe was the first theatrical trailer while waiting for some other movie to start, and the heroic music and the dramatic visuals made have to see it when it came out.
Whenever I see Jennifer Jason Leigh, I immediately think of Fast Times movie. I forgot Clint Howard was in this. I don't think he'd even have a career in Hollywood if it wasn't for Ron.
I spent 12 years as a volunteer firefighter and 10 years as a reserve firefighter. In the 700+ fire calls I went on, I only saw one backdraft. This movie gives the impression that fire is a rabid wolf, in a cave, waiting on it's chance to pounce on an unsuspecting victim. I wish Hollyweird wouldn't do that kind of thing.
We all have issues with the way Hollywood and filmmakers portray our professions. I'm a 21 year Army Veteran of several combat deployments, so I know what you're saying.
I want to thank you for being a firefighter and putting your life on the line to help people. Not many people can do that. However, this is a movie, not a documentary. Idk why people think this is 100% accurate if that's the case. You are not the only one I've seen post things like that in reactions
@@sampardowski5799u know why people think it’s 100% accurate? I remember when this came out they got so called” fire fighters” to say it was realistic. I had 2 family members that were firefighters & they both said it was completely far fetched! Even down to running into a building with jacket undone & no oxygen!
@@sampardowski5799 Believe it or not, there are people that think what they see in movies is 100% accurate. At one job, a co-worker said: "The reason that they have so much air pollution in Los Angeles is because they have a volcano" (He was referencing the movie "Volcano"). I didn't know what to say. I just walked away.
Yep, virtually nothing that comes out of Hollywood isn’t embellished in some form or another
Outstanding selection!!!!!
You may have seen other Ron Howard films:
Splash
Willow
Cocoon
Apollo 13
Cinderella Man
A Beautiful Mind
Frost/Nixon
Rush
The Da Vinci Code / Angels and Demons / Inferno
Movie filmed with real fire and practical effects, today something like this would be done with CGI, and it would not be the same, it is the special thing about the movies of the 90s, where they were filmed with these techniques, combining the real with the practical and results in very real fire scenes.
Seen so many people fool fire by running into a side room or hide behind a pillar. 😂😂😂
Bruce Hornsby the show goes on (1988) Bruce Hornsby had some wonderful music back in the 1980s.
thanks for reaction
"You check that door for heat?"
You gotta watch "THE MISSION" (1986): Jeremy Iron from Die Hard III and The Time Machine, Liam Nelsson from Darkman and Schinder's List and Robrt DeNiro...
You been getting some good recommendations
I became a firefighter because of this movie! I always love seeing people react to it and yours was phenomenal! If you want to watch another firefighter movie there’s one called Ladder 49, more realistic and less Hollywood. Both are amazing movies I highly suggest you check it out!
One of Ron Howard's best movies IMO. Such an underrated film! ❤
He had done some serious moneymaking films prior to Backdraft. But they were mostly lighthearted stuff. This was a breakthrough film for him. Showing that he could do serious and highly technical films with a large cast and make it bankable.
And how cool is it that one child star directed another child star. Kurt and Ron have shown that child actor's don't need to flame out and burn away.
Think I saw this when I was around 12. It scared the crap out of me ha
You need a feel good comedy. Watch BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED (1987) for a good laugh. Have fun!
I live down the block from this firehouse in Brighton Park Chicago
I have considerable experience with wildland fire. No way I'd get involved in structure firefighting. I want to be outside where the fire can't hide.
You should add Ladder 49 to your reaction list.
If you like tears. If you like a love story. If you like firefighter movies. Watch Ladder 49 starring Joaquin Pheonix and John Travolta.
RIP Donald Sutherland! He was great as the creepy pyro Ronald. 👏🏻
If you enjoyed this movie, then I highly recommend Ladder 49. Joaquin Pheonix playing a firefighter role. 'Nuff said.
Such a good movie!
