My little sister did wilderness search and rescue, and the equipment failure death at the beginning reminds me of what one of her trainers said: "Our motto is. 'We're stupid.' In fact, we are so stupid that we have to check and double check everything to make sure we don't make any stupid mistakes."
Great motto :). Though it's less dangerous than it may seem, climbers do die in all kinds of "stupid" ways (abseiling off the end of your rope is surprisingly common for instance). That said, the death at the start is almost pure Hollywood - it's so close to impossible for a climbing harness to fail in that way that it effectively _is_ impossible (the harness' manufacturer even had them include a disclaimer in the credits stating that the harness was modified to fail for the movie). No amount of double checking would've helped. ('Cliffhanger' is a lot of fun IMO but it is to climbing what 'Die Hard' is to police work :)
And yet it was a tremendous success on its release. I'm starting to wonder if all movies that don't become a franchise get forgotten, be they ever so successful. "Who framed Roger Rabbit?", "Robin Hood: Prince of thieves" and "Demolition man" are other examples. All of them huge blockbusters at the time, but not many people who weren't there seem to know about them nowadays. Because none of them got sequels?
@@jenmurrayxo Great actor with great span. From serial killer in _Dexter_ to Churchill in _The Crown_ to a father in _Harry* and the Hendersons_ . (*Bigfoot)
This movie is dedicated in memory to Wolfgang Gulich, whom was Stallone's climbing double. He was sadly killed in a car accident on August 31, 1992. He was 31 years old. Nominated for 3 Oscars: Best Visual Effects Best Sound Editing Best Sound Mixing. It lost all 3 to JURASSIC PARK. It was a box office success, making $255 million dollars against a $70 million dollar budget. It's been labeled as "DIE HARD on a mountain." It was given an NC 17 rating due to the graphic violence, at least 5 minutes, was cut to get that film an R Rating.
Aside from Demolition Man, and all the Rocky and Rambo movies, Stallone has one more forgotten action movie. It’s called Daylight. The movie is kind of a throwback to the old disaster movies from the 70s, like The Poseidon Adventure. It’s about a tunnel collapse and Stallone is fighting to get the survivors out to, well, daylight. Get it? Ha! It’s solid and intense entertainment.
John Lithgow made this movie awesome! He is such a versatile thespian from drama to comedy, from stage to screen. John always gives it his all, even if the movie itself is mediocre.
It was suppose to be him and Christopher Walken as the main villains. Lithgow in his role would've died first. So they rewrote the Qualen role to fit Lithgow.
Lithgow is amazingly versatile: drama, thriller, action, comedy ... He can play everything. And on top of that he writes wonderful children's books! Guy's a real national treasure.
I think this was the first movie I remember Michael Rooker from as well as Days of Thunder w/Tom Cruise. It's been fun to see him continue to be a part of cinema, even if in a supporting role.
I like your reactions, but I love that you put particular attention to the music score, and thats a nice detail. Trevor Jones' score in this movie is awesome.
"...would he fall into those blades!? I guess he would die anyway..." Yeah but if he falls into the blades he'll probably take out everyone in the chopper too! I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid.
8:15 - Interesting Thing of Note:- The film, 'Cliffhanger', is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the costliest aerial stunt ever performed. Stuntman Simon Crane was paid $1 million to cross once between two planes at fifteen thousand feet, without the aid of any safety devices or trick photography.
Awesome way to start a Friday , great action , tense moments , bats 🦇 , explosion 💥 , wisdom nuggets , lots of hanging around ( literally 🙂 ) lots of idiots and most importantly JEN being here funny awesome self and yes please write an action movie Jen I'd watch it 🙌 would be epic without doubt . Thankyou as always this was great I could watch this over and over and over
In addition to Shoot to Kill, other people here mentioned The River Wild, with Meryl Streep, and Vertical Limit, with Chris O’Donnell. I cosign both of those. They’re good choices. Someone else mentioned Deliverance. I’d put that in another category entirely. Whereas Shoot to Kill, The River Wild, and Vertical Limit are fun, cheesy, action-packed thrillers, Deliverance is more of a slow burn character study. It was nominated for Oscars but don’t let that fool you. That movie has some of the most disturbing scenes I’ve ever seen onscreen. Deliverance is more aligned with Platoon or Full Metal Jacket- meaning, mentally you have to be prepared to watch it.
I love mountain movies and these are some you should check out Jen! North Face (2010 - Original name Nordwand) The Eiger Sanction (1975) Touching the Void (2003) Free Solo (2018) Everest (2015)
Fun Facts: The large majority of the film's scenes were shot in the Dolomites in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. For example, the bridge scene was shot on Monte Cristallo in the via ferrata VF Ivano Dibona, which was reconstructed immediately after the movie. The climbing was mostly on the Tofane cliffs, and in some scenes toward the end of the movie the audience clearly sees the three Tofane, the Croda da Lago, and the town of Cortina; the location of this is on top of Mount Faloria, at the arrival of the funivia Faloria. In other scenes are the sentiero ferrato Astaldi, over the Rifugio Dibona. The small house has been constructed on the sand of the river Boite, in Fiames, close to the heliport. Some filming took place in Durango, Colorado. The credits of the film also thank the Ute Tribe for filming in the Ute Mountain reservation. Cliffhanger is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the costliest aerial stunt ever performed. Stuntman Simon Crane was paid $1 million to perform the aerial transfer scene, where he crossed between two planes at an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,600 m). The principal climbing doubles were Ron Kauk and Wolfgang Güllich. Kauk performed as Stallone's climbing double after Güllich died in a car accident in 1992. The doubles filled in for Stallone on most of the climbing scenes due to the actor's fear of heights; an injury to Stallone's hand, reported to have occurred on one of the cliffs, actually occurred on a soundstage.
Of course this was when a hundred million dollars was a lot of money😂 Good reaction as always, I always enjoyed this film. Yes you should watch Rocky, Stallone wrote the part knowning with his speech limitations he needed a believable character he could play amd he did a damn good job.
I have to turn my head during the beginning of the movie when Sarah went out on the line then fell. Was really hard for me cause I have major and I mean major Acrophobia. 😮😮😮
Honestly Jen, watch the movie "The River Wild". It's another action thriller (no explosions, sorry) and it's all set around white water rafting. Great movie. I think you'd love it.
Classic Stallone action. I got excited when I saw this thumbnail. Back when my guy Michael rooker had head full of hair. Jhon Lithgow killed it as the antagonist in this. Great film, great reaction 👍 Also that opening scene scared the crap out of me when I saw this first time. Had a few nightmares.
Cliffhanger was one of my favorites and one of the best action thrillers from 1993. So it was known as 'Die Hard on a mountain' and another Sly Stallone classic. This had one of the first-ever super bowl trailers with the music of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana: O Fortuna with split-second images. So pumped to see it on Memorial Day weekend. The suspense and drama were on par with each other. But it was the characters and the environment that (for me) drove the action sequences. I was age 13 at the time this movie came out and i loved it. Also had the video game on Sega CD and the cutscenes were footage from the actual movie. The director Renny Harlin made other hits. Die Hard 2 (1990), The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) and Deep Blue Sea (1999), you gotta check these out.
I adored that show so much. Another 'good vibes' show from a similar era was the Australian show Seachange with the gorgeous Sigred Thornton. The actor who played Faramir in LOTR, David Wenham was the male lead in one of the two seasons. I remember Rob Morrow and especially John Corbett being especially adorable in Northern Exposure. We need more quirky shows out of Canada.
It's hard to believe nowadays, but Stallone did not only co-write this movie, but he has also screenwriting credits for both the first "Rambo" and "Rocky" movie. He wrote a lot in his younger days.
It's not remotely hard to believe. Stallone wrote ALL the 'Rocky' movies and also directed most of them. And with a writing credit on 'Creed II' from 2018 and the most recent Rambo movie from 2019 he clearly wrote/writes a lot in his _older_ days too :). (Stallone is much more a _filmmaker_ in general than specifically an actor - he's directed more movies than some full time directors do in their entire careers and written more produced screenplays than many full time writers)
I loved this movie when it came out and I've watched it multiple times over the years. Each time, when the woman's glove slips off and she falls to her doom, it destroys me.
Cheesy one liners, super human feats in T-shirt, completely psychotic villain without 0 redeeming quality. I just love this film. John Lithgow was so good movie villain. It was shock to me see him this as at the time I knew him from 3rd Rock from the Sun.
Rocky for sure with Rambo 2 at some point. You might also consider "Demolition Man" for more Stallone action or even "Judge Dredd". Loved your reaction Jen, you get so invested 😎 This movie almost had it all, a heist, stacks of cash, action, betrayal and explosions... the only thing missing was a villain lair!
You should watch Shoot to Kill with Tom Berenger, the late, great Sidney Poitier, and the late, great Kirstie Alley. This is kind of a forgotten good movie about an FBI agent hunting a cunning killer in the Great Outdoors. It’s twisty, intense, and filled with plenty of action. Try it.
This movie had so many action packed scenes...great choice! John Lithgow as the bad guy is always excellent. Definitely check out the Rocky series - you'll love it guaranteed. And who doesn't love that memorable score. 😉
Hey Jen, funny that I am a pilot who adores my flying even tough I have a fear of heights too. Absolutely hate being in highrise buildings upper floors. I get this irrational feeling as if the floors slope toward the edge and sometimes even feel like some unseen force will pull me over the balcony or something. Yet I love flying aerobatics. Go figure ! This movie gives me sweaty palms just watching it.
Thank You Jen Murray for your Hard work one of The Best Reactioner You Tuber out there Thank You Cliffhanger is Awesome movie underrated Sylvester Stallone movie
This is a legit underrated Sly action flick, it still looks great too if you find it in uhd. also it being referenced in Ace Ventura 2 is hilarious and awesome : P
ALL RIGHT...I've been ready and waiting for this one All Weekend!!! Renny Harlin has Directed some of my Favorite Movies, including "Die Hard 2 / The Long Kiss Goodnight / Deep Blue Sea / 12 Rounds" (all of which I'd highly Recommend too)!!!! Hell Yes to both "Rocky & Rambo 2" 👍 Oh, and don't forget about "Vertical Limit" ...it was also on your Patreon Poll, and it's a really suspense-filled thriller!
Sidney Poitier & Tom Berenger 1988 film ‘Shoot to kill’ is an outdoor thriller worth a watch. Also, ‘Deliverance’ 1972 film with Jon Voight & Burt Reynolds and ‘The River Wild’ 1994 with MerylStreep & Kevin Bacon. Hope you get around to viewing them.
This movie was such a pleasant surprise for me when it came out. The previews looked awful to me, and a friend dragged me to the movies to see it one weekend, and I was so surprised how good it was.
I saw this in the theater with my dad. Ever since, I never miss a Stallone on the big screen. This is one of my favorite action films of the 1990's. Lithgow was a top notch villain, the cinematography was incredible, the stunts are spectacular, and the action scenes are still hold up. Love this one.
Another great one, Jen! Glad to see your long rumored Spider sense confirmed! Wisdom nugget: 'don't die' was true wisdom. I actually paused on pessimist Jen and optimist Jen and cracked up! The 100 mil dollar reaction was priceless. Newest Jen-ism that I've never heard before: 'Scram, you wolves!'. And lastly, 'Buddies!' with the fist pump made me happy. PS: HELL YES YOU SHOULD WATCH ROCKY! it won a freakin' Oscar! Once again you crushed it Jen! A++!
Trevor Jones also composed The Last of the Mohicans, it's a similar sounding score. I listen to it on repeat lol. Definitely an adventure movie too! 🙂👍
The opening scene was amazingly parodied in one of the Ace Ventura -movies with Jim Carrey and a raccoon (I believe) ... and I remember my friends feeling MORE tense and anxious during that one because I think we all *knew* the girl was gonna die ... but would a director really do that to an animal?? ((* LOL *))
Was watching a mini-commentary from the actress who falls and she says Sylvester Stallone was/is afraid of heights, so while she and Michael Rooker actually went out to the mountain, any further away shots on the mountain of him are his stunt double, and any closer shots are Stallone in the studio. She was actually out on that line, but her stunt actress did the drop (they used a vertical ratcheted line to stop the stuntwoman's fall at a certain point, and a dummy was dropped for the remainder of the fall). She says Stallone was pretty cold to her during the shooting and thinks it's because she actually went out to the mountain and he was too scared.
Recipe for a great 90s blockbuster action film. One action star. One great actor as a sidekick. A Shakespearean actor as the villain. Pepper the rest of the cast with character actors for the baddies. Have some amazing REAL stunts. Some excellent practical effects.
Stallone had some good action movies in the 90’s and one of my favorite comedies being Oscar, which I recommend everyone watch. I also think you would enjoy the Rocky series.
Comment RAMBO 2 or ROCKY if I should watch those!
RAMBO reaction: th-cam.com/video/zPGBfi_fyMY/w-d-xo.html
Rocky series for sure!
Definitely watch all of the Rocky movies 🥊
Rocky series is iconic.
Yes to Rocky! Yes to Rambo! Sorry Jen, I'm a little bit greedy for your reactions. Hey I'm only human.
Please do the Rocky series! Wouldn't be against you and your sis teaming up for the franchise either BTW. Just saying haha

Interesting! 👍
It is a edgy moment
John Lithgow can play wholesome family guy and then do straight evil serial killer guy at the drop of a hat.
Awww did you not see Frank laughing his head off the whole way through the rescue attempt and the lady falling to her death.
To this day, blonde 90s kid is one of the saddest movie deaths ever. He's base jumping in heaven now. 😢
Sylvester Stallone is quoted saying "this movie (Rambo 4) is the hardest movie I've ever done, and I did Cliffhanger" lol

@@MadScheib he is a complete actor
@@k.delpino1124 Actually, I think that Lithgow was brought in at the last minute because Walken left the production.
I was working at a theater when this was released. Seeing it on the big screen really made the terrain and the heights stand out.
How ?
There were so many frustrating deaths (Sarah, the kid, Frank) but also many satisfying ones, when it comes to the villians.
Especially Frank, for me! Ralph Waite was lovely here.
Great reaction , this has been my favorite movie for a long long time !
I think this was the first movie I remember Michael Rooker from as well as Days of Thunder w/Tom Cruise. It's been fun to see him continue to be a part of cinema, even if in a supporting role.
Another good 90s Stallone flick is "Demolition Man." It's a fun action-comedy, sci-fi film. It's got Sandra Bullock and Benjamin Bratt, as well.
1993 is really a comeback
I like your reactions, but I love that you put particular attention to the music score, and thats a nice detail. Trevor Jones' score in this movie is awesome.
Jen says: "Bunnies also matter."
YES!!!
🐰
Bunnies Lives Matters. 🐰🥕
Stallone's career kind of "fell of a cliff" after this film before he climbed his way back up in the late 2000's. Great movie.
"...would he fall into those blades!? I guess he would die anyway..." Yeah but if he falls into the blades he'll probably take out everyone in the chopper too! I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid.

Climbing without a harness is called free climbing. And yes Jen, you should watch Rocky.
Jen watching an action movie is a great way to start the week.
Always. . .👍
Most expensive stunt. Stallone personally paid the stunt man $1 million to do the plane transfer.

Stallone is actually afraid of heights, but he did a lot of free climbing for this movie.
His dangerous stunts
$100 million and a bad-ass bunny. The death at the beginning always tears me up.

This movie was such a pleasant surprise for me when it came out. The previews looked awful to me, and a friend dragged me to the movies to see it one weekend, and I was so surprised how good it was.
I absolutely love your captions and graphics. 🙂
Thanks David! ☺️👍
This is The life of Hal Tucker Before The zombie apocalypse.
Demolition Man is a Stallone movie I think you'd really like. And Sandra Bullock is in it too. Peace
A couple other Stallone movies you should check out are Assassians, as well as Daylight.
I saw this in the theater with my dad. Ever since, I never miss a Stallone on the big screen. This is one of my favorite action films of the 1990's. Lithgow was a top notch villain, the cinematography was incredible, the stunts are spectacular, and the action scenes are still hold up. Love this one.
Great job Jen, top reaction as always 👍
Another great one, Jen! Glad to see your long rumored Spider sense confirmed! Wisdom nugget: 'don't die' was true wisdom. I actually paused on pessimist Jen and optimist Jen and cracked up! The 100 mil dollar reaction was priceless. Newest Jen-ism that I've never heard before: 'Scram, you wolves!'. And lastly, 'Buddies!' with the fist pump made me happy. PS: HELL YES YOU SHOULD WATCH ROCKY! it won a freakin' Oscar! Once again you crushed it Jen! A++!
Thanks T!! This one was a blast!! 🔥🔥
Trevor Jones also composed The Last of the Mohicans, it's a similar sounding score. I listen to it on repeat lol. Definitely an adventure movie too! 🙂👍
Last of the Mohicans is an incredible soundtrack.
@@LordVolkov Definitely. Especially during the chase scene at the very end. Masterful.
Maggie O’Connell ! - niche 90’s comment 😊
This was Stallones best movie of the 90s, hands down. Had a blast with your reaction Jen 🙂
☺️👍🔥💪
The opening scene was amazingly parodied in one of the Ace Ventura -movies with Jim Carrey and a raccoon (I believe) ... and I remember my friends feeling MORE tense and anxious during that one because I think we all *knew* the girl was gonna die ... but would a director really do that to an animal??
((* LOL *))
"Ah Gross! And Awesome!"

I sat next to Janine Turner(Jesse) in the dug out of Chicago Cubs game when she was dating one of the players she was very nice.
I love that you react to movies that other's don't fantastic 😁
Thanks! ☺️👍
I loved Northern Exposure. Feel like Janine Turner didn't have enough of an acting career.
I loved Jen's reactions to Cliffhanger.
Especially " 100 Million Dollars! " :)
😂👍💵🔥
@@jenmurrayxo do Bad Boys 1. You will find it intriguing
Was watching a mini-commentary from the actress who falls and she says Sylvester Stallone was/is afraid of heights, so while she and Michael Rooker actually went out to the mountain, any further away shots on the mountain of him are his stunt double, and any closer shots are Stallone in the studio. She was actually out on that line, but her stunt actress did the drop (they used a vertical ratcheted line to stop the stuntwoman's fall at a certain point, and a dummy was dropped for the remainder of the fall). She says Stallone was pretty cold to her during the shooting and thinks it's because she actually went out to the mountain and he was too scared.
Recipe for a great 90s blockbuster action film. One action star. One great actor as a sidekick. A Shakespearean actor as the villain. Pepper the rest of the cast with character actors for the baddies. Have some amazing REAL stunts. Some excellent practical effects.
Stallone had some good action movies in the 90’s and one of my favorite comedies being Oscar, which I recommend everyone watch. I also think you would enjoy the Rocky series.
omg Oscar was great!
@@bigalthetank Absolutely! Tim Curry in particular, IMHO.

21:41 I've never seen anyone get that excited at the mention of C-4.
😂👍🔥🔥
Hey jen great reaction! Another mountain climbing movie is Vertical Limit. Hope you give it a watch😊
"I GUESS HE WOULD DIE ANYWAY" HAHAHAHA
I love Cliffhanger, and your dark thoughts during the amped up positive opening made me GRANDPA WHEEZE!!!
