Hey! As a violinist, I had the honor of performing on the soundtrack to this film. Composed by Hans Zimmer protégé Nick Glennie-Smith and recorded at the legendary Paramount scoring Stage M, it was a fantastic project to work on! Thanks for sharing your reaction!
Oh man.. are you serious?!?! That's incredible.. I've always been a huge fan of movies scores and The Rock and Man in the Iron Mask (obviously both by the great Nick Glennie-Smith) are EASILY in my top 10. I'm going to Europe for the first time in 2024 and if I don't get to see Han Zimmer live on stage I'm going to be REALLY upset lol!!
If you can find the Special Edition, I'd recommend watching that, but it seems to be very hard (if not impossible) to find it in HD. There have been rumours of a 4K version being released this year on but so far there has been no release date.
I knew that Mick Biehn was going to be the villain in "The Abyss" when I saw that bloody moustache. I mean...seriously? He was the escalated 'Dick Dastardly'.
@@SoshiMECH Now that Avatar 2 is finally out, maybe Cameron could get his ass into giving The Abyss (my fav) and True Lies the proper Blu-Ray and 4K treatment they deserve.
SAS stands for Special Air Service; it's the British special forces. Many of them went on to become spys (like the CIA recruiting Navy Seals). There's thread around that this is what became of James Bond. After having seen at least one of the original Bond movies, it's an interesting thought!
Just to clarify the SAS is just a part of the British special forces. There are other specialist regiments in addition, such as the SBS (the Special Boat Service, which is part of the Royal Navy in a similar way as the SAS is an army regiment), the Special Reconnaissance Regiment, etc.
@@Patriiiiick I think he was a member of the Special Operations Executive, which ran in parallel to the SAS during WWII (the two organisations certainly existed in parallel at the same time during the war). Whilst they both carried out clandestine missions behind enemy line the SAS was, and still is, much more conventional in its military structure and recruitment, the SOE were considered “irregulars”.
There isnt that many sas who become spies. They tend to be recruited from different backgrounds. The theory about Mason being Bond cant be true unfortunately as it leaves out some key issues. Bond reached the level of Commander in the Royal Navy and was 42 before leaving and entering MI6. He would have had to complete SAS training in between. I think I'm right that no one of that age has completed training and no one already at the rank of commander has joined the sas because it is one of the few regiments where you dont maintain rank. With Bond having a greater affinity with Naval warfare he more likely would have joined SBS as well. Given all the inconsistencies, by the time he would have been caught he would have to be in his late 60s already. It would have been at a time when Thatcher and Reagan were in power and all actions against each other were dropped because of the so called "special relationship"
Ed Harris is terrific, but he really seems to shine the most in supporting roles. Maybe it's because you have more freedom when writers and directors aren't squeeze you into their narrow, contrived parameters for an appealing protagonist.
@@comcastblows567 the theory is he lied about his true name and work when caught doing something for Britain and it was in the British best interest to leave him there i like the idea a lot
@@comcastblows567 There is a pretty damn good theory video, about 20 minutes long where a guy goes over all the matching details. Just search it on youtube if you're interested, should find it easy with "the rock bond movie" the channel was "pentex productions".
I was gonna recommend Face/Off as well. Forgot about Con Air. But that as well as The Rock does indeed make up the holy trinity of Nic Cage movies. Some would try to make an argument for Gone in 60 Seconds but that doesn't have enough explosions.
Many say Connery's character was actually James Bond ( a British secret agent) and was imprisoned because he learned too many sensitive US secrets (like who really killed JFK).
@@mattp6089 Maybe not Bond in his prime, but a Bond who was disavowed and left in prison for 30 years? I could see him being a little more ornery, possibly dropping an f-bomb or two.
As the movie began, the music was maddeningly familiar. My suspicions were correct, in a way. This was scored by Hans Zimmer and he was responsible for helping Klaus Badelt relocate in '98. In 2003 Badelt penned the music for the 1st Pirates of the Caribbean and Zimmer took over the scoring of each subsequent Pirates film.
I mainly know Hans Zimmer from zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan films, which are all equally phenomenal, one of my all time favorite composers. The others include John Williams, John Murphy, Tyler Bates, and Danny Elfman.
one of my all time favorite action movies! i've always liked the theory that sean connery's character is actually james bond. i am so happy someone *finally* gave ed harris his well deserved low key mvp award for this role! what he did was wrong but yes it was for the right reasons, and he does the right in the end. great reaction!
Others have already clarified what the SAS is, as the most noted and renowned part of the British special forces. They are one of the most capable and respected special forces regiments in the world. They were a well kept secret until 1980 (by which point they’d already been in existence for nearly 40 years) when they carried out the counter-terrorism mission to retake the Iranian embassy in London and rescue hostages after it had been taken over by terrorists. Their mission was basically carried out in front of the world’s journalists and tv cameras and brought them to world-wide attention. There’s a really great movie about that mission and the events around it that was released in 2017 called “6 Days”. You should watch it and react to it 😃
90's action! This one is the first of the Nicolas Cage "action trilogy", followed by Con Air and Face/Off. Both excellent movies to react, especially the last one
“You call it what you want, you’re down there, we’re up here! You walked into the wrong goddamn room” that line always gives me chills. All 3 main actors were absolutely perfect for their roles
At the end when he asks "Honey, want to know who killed JFK?" always reminds me of Cage's other movie series National Treasure Suggestions, National Treasure (2004) and National Treasure Book of Secrets (2007)
The Rock is one of those action movies that really sticks out from the late 90s for me. Con Air is another good one from the same era (also featured Nicholas Cage).
Maaaaan I remember staying home sick when I was 10 or so and watched this with my dad. Classic! Loved it! Lol we all cringe when he plays with the damn doll like that >.
One of my all-time FAVORITE movies! I also love the idea going around that it's actually a secret James Bond movie. There is a great TH-cam video on it!
Jen is one of the best reactors for this film content. She is so entertaining watching movies that are action, heist, spy, assassination movies, such as Bourne Trilogy, Oceans Trilogy, Mr & Mrs Smith, etc…. Nick Cage and Sean Connery are a great team for this film. Jen good job and keep up the good work 👍
This was my introduction to the "Summer Blockbuster" when growing up. I love this movie and hold a special place in my heart, its one of those movies i just cant get tired of. If you loved this you need to check out 1995's Bad Boys (also directed by Michael Bay) and 1997's Con Air (starring Nicolas Cage, John Cusack and John Malkovich). Awesome reaction!
One of my favorite films from a time when it was all about pure entertainment.... really tight story, amazing action and characters that you feel for and have understandable motivations. Great score. The pace is really non stop too. Count of Monte Cristo is one of my other fav movies if you wanted something different.
Nice, when this came out everyone was saying this seemed like an unofficial Jams Bond movie and it kindof lines up (with the Sean Connery Bond Movies)..
This was the last Simpson/Bruckheimer production since Don past on. The Rock also holds a special memory as the only other film than Blade, where people actually had moments of standing up in the theater.
I always loved this movie, but there's one part that always drove me nuts. When he was rolling through the flames. I know they showed that to have a cool scene with him by showing what he did to escape. However, he rolled through there to unlock the door from the other side and let the soldiers in. When he was escaping, he would have started out on that side where the door could be unlocked and wouldn't have needed to go through the flames in the first place.
@@nielsdegroot9138 I could go along with that reasoning and until I hear a better one, that is what I'll believe. If only they would have had even a single line of dialogue to give a reason.
I'm jealous of Jen. She can lose herself in a movie better than anybody I've seen. I haven't been able to do that for a long time. I used to be able to just relax and forget my troubles and just watch a movie and suspend disbelief for 90 minutes. I can't do it anymore. Life has become quite a burden. Watching her videos has helped me to remember those days.
Sorry Jen, my internet went down, so I missed the end of your reaction video Premiere. But I caught up and loved your reactions. Take care, until next time.
Please do The Game 😁 it has so many twists. I'm a Marine Corps veteran and certainly understand what Ed Harris' character was thinking, he definitely went about it in the wrong way. Love this movie, great review as always! 😊🙏♥️
I can't remember who said this: "the older Sean Connery got, the more bad@$$ he became." I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. And as a Sean Connery fan, The Rock totally satisfies my nostalgia for his portrayal as James Bond. Clearly, he never said never again (wink). Rest in peace Sir Sean Connery. We miss you.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This just made a great Friday a PERFECT Friday. This is a action movie i have been DYING to see tactical countdown Jen watch 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 My absolute favorite part of this movie was that bizarre rubber faced expression, mumbling stuttering reply Nick Cage had to The Candyman saying he didn't like soft ass sh!t. To this day that makes me cry laughing. I love me some Nick Cage and his crazy self, coupled with Sean Connery's thesis on winner and looser this movie was just a grand ole time of cheezy action schlock. SOOOO glad this got a Jen review/reaction. Hell I think I'm going full patreon to watch the whole thing. Thanks again for a great way to spend a lunch break General Murry
one great movie... though lol until watching this premiere on youtube I don't think I ever noticed that the captain of the seal team is Kyle Reese from Terminator.
Another fun rewatch id forgotten how on the edge of your seat you were throughout this one but still having a great time and coming up with beauties like " shup up and hide " solid advice jen 😅 no way id go through the fire hole or stab myself eith a giant needle SCREW THAT lol. This was fun cheers jen 🔥🔥
It was very enjoyable seeing you watch this movie-- you're awesome Jen. A similar movie from this time starring Nicholas Cage as an action hero is Con Air, which I think you might like.
@@jenmurrayxo please react to my favorite movie from the 90s The Mask Of Zorro (1998). It's based on the pulp magazine character created by Johnston McCully in 1919. It's directed by Martin Campbell who directed two of the best James Bond movies Goldeneye (1995) & Casino Royale (2006). It stars Antonio Banderas, Sir Anthony Hopkins, &Catherine Zeta-Jones. The character of Zorro is one of the main inspirations for Batman along with the pulp magazine character The Shadow and Sherlock Holmes.
Finally someone watches this movie. It's such an underrated action film. Everyone is great in it and i especially love Ed Harris character because sympathetic villains are the best. The movie is so good i often wonder if Michael Bay really directed it, though you can see his style all over that car chase sequence. If you want see the best Nicolas Cage movie watch "Lord of War" with him, Jared Leto and Ethan Hawke. It's not really action, it's a serious movie and about a subject you never see in movies at all; in fact they had to procure outside finance for it because Hollywood did not want to touch it. Amazing movie, the cinematography in particular is excellent and really fun.
I honestly don't think people on the internet know what the word "underrated" means. This is a highly rated action flick. I don't know anyone who doesn't like it. Also Leaving Las Vegas is the best Nick Cage movie.
@@deathtoraiden2080 proving my point. "Forgotten" doesn't mean "underrated". And even then, no one over 35 "memory holed" this movie. Here, I'll give you an example. Michael Bay is an underrated director. That means he's better than people think he is. Yes, he has the crampy Transformer movies on his resume (although I'd argue the first one is solid). But he also has movies like this, Bad Boys, and Armageddon.
I have actually been to the rock and it WAS a weird tour. Thanks for a wonderful reaction Jen. I have some really bad news yesterday and I needed some diversion.
Awesome review of an awesome movie that NEVER gets old after watching it about a ga-billion times throughout the years!! Saw it when it first came out in the theaters and still watch it today. A few really good ACTION movies you should consider: Con -Air (Nicholas Cage) Executive Decision (Kurt Russell) Air Force One (Harrison Ford) All 3 movies are AIRPLANE oriented and pretty much non-stop kick-butt action.
Jen says, "oh, he's dead for sure". Just the way you said that in that moment was too much for me :P As others have said in the comments, if you haven't seen it, then check out The Abyss with Ed Harris and Michael Biehn
This was a good fun watch, I’m glad you enjoyed it, so many great action films you need to watch involving Nick Cage and Sean Connery, also Ed Harris plays in a lot of great films one of them was Enemy at the Gates, he plays another great villain. I hope you react to that movie someday, you’ll definitely like it a lot, very suspenseful and based on a real life soldier.
Yeah this was another great movie from back in the 90's. I'm glad you did this video, Jen. I really enjoy your reactions. Great work as always. Keep em coming.

They have much more interaction between them in the Abyss than they did in The Rock

@@SoshiMECH Rumors of a Blu-ray remaster of The Abyss, have been circulating for the last few years at least.

He does an amazing job in The Abyss.
he's so so good in his supporting role in A History of Violence
Some say this was the last Bond flick Sean Connery made. I found myself rooting for the bad guys until the shower scene.
I didn’t realize considering he was a former SAS in the film, not MI6 but still close to a James Bond tho
@@comcastblows567 the theory is he lied about his true name and work when caught doing something for Britain and it was in the British best interest to leave him there i like the idea a lot

It's not a very high bar, but this is definitely Michael Bay's best. Con Air and Face/Off complete the holy trinity of Nicolas Cage 90s action movies.
I was gonna recommend Face/Off as well. Forgot about Con Air. But that as well as The Rock does indeed make up the holy trinity of Nic Cage movies. Some would try to make an argument for Gone in 60 Seconds but that doesn't have enough explosions.
I also call it the holy Trinity 😂
You forgot the blockbuster action movie, City of Angels.
@@jkhoover Needs more explosions...
@@jkhoover I wouldn't call _City of Angels_ a blockbuster *action* movie :P But I do love that *romance* movie
Sean Connery cracks me up in the this one 😆 so many good lines. Favorite "Im so sick of saving your ass" 🤣
The 90s was such a great decade for films, this is brilliant.
Music as well. GOAT decade.
The Abyss with Ed Harris is a very good James Cameron effort. Also Connery is EPIC in Highlander.
Happy STAR TREK Day! 🖖😊
Live long and Prosper
I think Jen would love Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. I hope she puts it on her list!
Jen loves action movies, likes seeing things blow up, and enjoys playing Hitman. She's officially awesome.
So are you waterbeauty!! 😊👍
Jen, I was just thinking.
I kinda feel sorry for you.
You'll never really know how much FUN it is watching a movie with you. 🥳
😂👍
If you want a fun heist movie with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones, You should check out Entrapment.
Yes! Great movie.
Michael Biehn, ed harris, tony todd, john spencer, along with the 2 leads. I forgot how well this movie was cast with fantastic character actors.
Many say Connery's character was actually James Bond ( a British secret agent) and was imprisoned because he learned too many sensitive US secrets (like who really killed JFK).
I believe this was supposed to be a 007 film. The theory is that Sean Connery was doing a mission in the USA when he was captured.
Will always love this movie. The chemistry between Cage and Connery is great.
"You're the rocket man." No Nic, he's the candyman.
Yaaay…another Bond movie!! Can’t wait.. this movie is a fun ride
lol. I love that theory. It does fit well.
I distinctly heard her say they will 'bond' together.

9:13 SAS stands for "Special Air Service". They're the British special forces.
Oh, the final (unofficial) Connery Bond Film.^^
Sean Connery's character (John Mason) in this movie is heavily implied to be Connery's Bond, as in James Bond. It's never outright stated of course.
I forgot how good this movie is. It's great to see it through your eyes.
Great film, with Sean Connery who I was named after. Love this film good all round performance by all actors involved.

I absolutely love this movie. There is a theory that this is a sort of reprisal of Sean Connery's role of James bond.
Sas us the British secret service.

"He needs to stop shouting." He can't. He's Nicolas Cage.
At the end when he asks "Honey, want to know who killed JFK?" always reminds me of Cage's other movie series National Treasure

The Rock is one of those action movies that really sticks out from the late 90s for me. Con Air is another good one from the same era (also featured Nicholas Cage).

I was 13 when this came out, and I've loved this movie basically my hole life.
I cannot give that order!!
Ah, the final Connery Bond movie. Excellent.
"Welcome to the Rock!" Add that to the list of all time great movie lines. I've probably seen this film about a dozen times.. Thanks for sharing.
This is my favourite Nic Cage movie.
Another Sean Connery movie worth watching is Entrapment with Catherine Zeta Jones
Fun reaction Jen! Now you need to watch Escape from Alcatraz (1979) with Clint Eastwood.
There’s also a nod to this film in national treasure 2 also with Ed harris
One the great '90's films.
I just love these reactions: "Owe, he's dead for sure..."; "crap er the crap crap crap"; "shush!" "We really need Sean Connery now!" 😉
I still remember the specific day and cinema seeing this. Crushed it at the box office in my country.
JEN! YOU DID "The Rock!" YOU ROCK.
😂😂👍
One of my all-time FAVORITE movies! I also love the idea going around that it's actually a secret James Bond movie. There is a great TH-cam video on it!

When he was escaping, he would have started out on that side where the door could be unlocked and wouldn't have needed to go through the flames in the first place.
Maybe it had an alarm, or was watched, so using it to secretly escape wasn't possible? But it does sound illogical.
@@nielsdegroot9138 I could go along with that reasoning and until I hear a better one, that is what I'll believe. If only they would have had even a single line of dialogue to give a reason.

It's not really action, it's a serious movie and about a subject you never see in movies at all; in fact they had to procure outside finance for it because Hollywood did not want to touch it. Amazing movie, the cinematography in particular is excellent and really fun.
And the overabundance of frowning old Boomers in some war rooms, barking exposition to anyone they come across!
I honestly don't think people on the internet know what the word "underrated" means. This is a highly rated action flick. I don't know anyone who doesn't like it.
Also Leaving Las Vegas is the best Nick Cage movie.
@@havok6280 The Rock has been more or less memory holed. That's what i mean by underrated.
@@deathtoraiden2080 proving my point. "Forgotten" doesn't mean "underrated".
And even then, no one over 35 "memory holed" this movie.
Here, I'll give you an example. Michael Bay is an underrated director. That means he's better than people think he is. Yes, he has the crampy Transformer movies on his resume (although I'd argue the first one is solid). But he also has movies like this, Bad Boys, and Armageddon.
@@havok6280 is it really worth your time to be this much of a pedantic A-HOLE over this?
RIP, Sean Connery and Queen Elizabeth.
Movie was great but you are SPLENDID! 😉
Good choice. And Hooray for The Game!
Now that you've entered Sean Connery territory, you really should watch him in his Oscar winning role in "The Untouchables."
I have actually been to the rock and it WAS a weird tour. Thanks for a wonderful reaction Jen. I have some really bad news yesterday and I needed some diversion.
♥Shuperb reaction, Missh Murray.
Awesome review of an awesome movie that NEVER gets old after watching it about a ga-billion times throughout the years!! Saw it when it first came out in the theaters and still watch it today. A few really good ACTION movies you should consider:
Con -Air (Nicholas Cage)
Executive Decision (Kurt Russell)
Air Force One (Harrison Ford)
All 3 movies are AIRPLANE oriented and pretty much non-stop kick-butt action.
Hi! Gonna be fun. An old favorite, I never tire of watching this thing. We'll be smiling! Here we go!
Jen says, "oh, he's dead for sure". Just the way you said that in that moment was too much for me :P
As others have said in the comments, if you haven't seen it, then check out The Abyss with Ed Harris and Michael Biehn
I would say the worst award should go to the federal government dishonoring the fallen soldiers.
This was a good fun watch, I’m glad you enjoyed it, so many great action films you need to watch involving Nick Cage and Sean Connery, also Ed Harris plays in a lot of great films one of them was Enemy at the Gates, he plays another great villain.
I hope you react to that movie someday, you’ll definitely like it a lot, very suspenseful and based on a real life soldier.
Forgot how good this movie was. Thanks.
amazing movie also great watching your reaction
I love Michael Bain in this movie he says one of my all-time favorite quotes
I miss 90's movies. So much fun!👏 😄
Great reactions Jen, loved your excitement and narration it was so cool
Yeah this was another great movie from back in the 90's. I'm glad you did this video, Jen. I really enjoy your reactions. Great work as always. Keep em coming.
The era when Hollywood made great fun action movies.
Absolutely great movie full of great actors and a good solid story really enjoyed this one
Great stuff, as usual. Fun movie. Nick Cage is always entertaining. Very excited about you watching "The Game" - mind blowing!
