- From Flashdance, No Country For Old Men, and the Fast and the Furious to Under Siege and The Love Bug!
Welcome to a potential new series on the Lift Arc Studios channel! We noticed a trend online for experts to give their opinions on examples of their trade being shown in pop culture. Unfortunately metal working and traditional trades don't get enough love and attention in the media, so we thought we could give our own critical breakdown of the times that it's been shown in TV and Movies!
This is a experiment of a pilot episode, so we'd love to know if this is something you'd like to see more of on our channel! If you're also a metalworker please give us your opinion on what to break down next, and if you agree with our assessments! Thanks for giving this new kind of video a chance, we appreciate all honest feedback :)
Thanks for watching!

Ha ha. This is great. For Flashdance, I don't understand why they didn't go to some actual mills and see what was going on. It was shot in Pittsburgh after all.
Fuck yeah!! Been wondering if any of my fellow welders have done reactions to our field according to "Hollywood." I'm so glad someone drew my attention here. I loved it!!
I just noticed one mistake at 20:45 when you said "DC current". Take a listen again and you'll hear he's using AC.
Same thing, there's just a monkey inside of the welder switching the leads a couple times a second XD
The worst welding/fabrication scene in a movie that i saw was in the second marvel black panther movie. A random girl needs to design and build a ironman-like suit and it show scene of a terrible oxy-acetylene torch cut and metal scraps falling to the floor. Then comes the final result, a gleaming sparkling suit perfectly designed and built
That first scene from flash dance reminds me of when my helper handed me a wet 7018 rod back in 2018. I just kept tapping until he asked what was wrong. I should have checked that he pulled the supply from the warmer, not the ones laying on the flatbed. So it was my fault. We didn't make that mistake again, but we both had a great laugh about it 😂
3:42
I do MIG and stick at college. Instead of requiring us to wear respirators each one of the welding bays has an overhead extractor.
The only problems, of course, are they're expensive. £600 for each individual extraction tube. They're also very loud, especially when the workshop is busy and you've got 15-20 extractors going at the same time.
We also got those overhead extractors in the colleges out in Canada they don’t require the respirator but every instructor heavily recommends you still where it
Those are nice in a shop, but on a construction site no one will set up such a monster.
Do the movie Aliens next time
Was welding some cast iron last week, stick…first time welding cast for anything other than a practice coupon…got some ni-rods and preheated it (when he says preheat, he’s not kidding, preheated it to 800 degrees) Came out really nice though, but damn those ni-rods go quick, and aren’t cheap…
21:16 he is using the paint thinner as a timer for the grenede its on the spoon of it
A bronze nickle alloy is the standard for welding cast iron now. Larger shops use PAPRs for their welders instead of respirators. The reason why is they perform better and saves time for employees from having to shave during the shift also allows people with religious grooming requirements such as a full beard to work in the industry. Also, people with long hair are required to tie it up because of grinders that welders use all the time. I person have a long beard and long hair. I stuff my beard down my shirt and have my hair tied back
Doesn't matter what happens around you... you finish that bead 😂😂
3d artist with adhd here, yeah you can do that with adhd but there are going to be challenges.
So not all supras came with a 2jz motor. The 7mgte was far more common to be find in a typical supra engine bay and they aren't the best motors.
A renovation show came to my school and had some of the guys do a scene and they had them hold a grinder out of sight so it created more Sparks lol
Also I have add and I do a ton of cad😂
I saw one movie where they jammed some sparklers in a stinger and called it a day. LOL Hi tech!
Female welder with ADD here. Writing down instructions helps, as well as listening to music so I’m not distracted. Also, if you have long hair, you have to keep it up for safety reasons. Don’t want it caught in machinery.
Great video, I was surprised though you didn’t include the welding scene from k19 the widowmaker, definitely worth a watch.
you missed 22:28 ... the torch had NO feather! it was just a whoosh of flame, WAYYYYY out of setting! all he's going to do with that torch is heat up the metal...
For the next one you should check out the MacGyver episode welding with jumper cables.
hahahahaha that alex girl was indeed WAY too clean for that situation... f'ing hollywood man.
Flash Dance, that is the Hot Babe Alex, star of the show......
Filmed by people without any industrial experience for people without any. They want to make colorful images. They do not want to weld, they want to spark.
Loved it! Honestly the first welding scene I thought of was when they're making the sleigh in the Jim Carey grinch movie 😅
Surprised you didn’t do K-19 The Widowmaker, that movie had shown actual welding and oxyfuel cutting.
heck yes guys
Loved this diversion from the shop. For what it’s worth, in the Under Siege scene, Seagal is using the draining paint thinner can to delay the detonation. Notice that he puts the grenade under the leaking can.
I came to say the same thing. That's the idea anyways, if I tried that, the thing would roll, hit the deck, and I'd be mist.
I also noticed the scene from flash dance as they use that clip in the British movie "the full Monty", I laugh at the comment about her 'mix' being wrong, 'mix' in stick welding made me laugh
3:11 they are using a packer haha but still probably packing nothing hahah fun video
At 10:15 I would add brass filler rod to be used with oxy acetlyeen or even with tig.
The Supra wireframe makes sense when you realize the view is from under the rear of the car. Google translate can't decide if the lovebug crew helmets say "Duanwu" or "The soup comes out".
The undersiege grenade scene was legit, the reason he stabbed a hole in the jug was to delay, as it pours out it gets lighter therefore at some point the grenade spring will overcome the weight and BOOM!
I don't know why I had this video pop up on the main screen but just realized it's 2y old 😂
Far be it from me to come to the defence of a Steven Seagall movie but if the pin is pulled on a grenade, it doesn’t ignite until after the lever is released. He propped it under the can so until the weight of the can decreases enough that the spring in the grenade can lift, the ignition process won’t have started.
So my grandmother actually worked with Woody Harrelsons aunt in a nursing home. Can't remember if she actually met him though. It's a small world.
Worst part of the fast and the furious. That wasn't even a 2JZ-GTE, that's the granny GE without the turbos XD
It's like people using firearms or are driving in movies. It's absolutely unreslistic. My guess is, that the producers and directors have people that do stuff like that for them, so they don't know how it's actually done.
Btw: 9:16 I like how you hold that filler rod. That way, you can ad more whitout changing grip. you can rest your wrist very stable and let the tumb, index- ringfinger and pinky do the job. It is rare to see that done properly. It's not just a small detail, this makes a real difference, especially when welding aluminium.
Weld scene I'd love to see a reaction to is Pacific Rim, when he's working as a welder on the Wall Of Life. I... honestly can't figure out how his rig is supposed to work.
You have a poor understanding of ADHD. People with this condition, such as myself, do not have difficulty focusing on things. In fact, we focus more intently than people without the condition. The difference is that we have a hard time controlling what we focus on at any given moment.
Whens the one year with the shop saber vid coming?!? Waiting on sidekick 10 to arrive in a few weeks!
We're still working on it right this moment! We are taking our time to make sure we cover absolutely everything, but it should be out before your sidekick arrives :) Let us know if you have any specific questions you'd like answered by the way! We want it to be the most comprehensive CNC Plasma video on TH-cam - Walker (the editor)
you CAN look directly at the sun ALL DAY LONG if you start at sunrise (the curvature of the Earth bends the light enough that your eyes can look directly at it and 'warm up' your eyes to brighter light). Believe me I have done it when I went to the eclipse festival. NO spots :)
😂👌
Very nice video today Tay and team. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Weld on. Fab on. Keep making. God bless.
Thanks! You too! We've got a lot of videos coming so thanks for staying tuned! - Walker
Very nice fun video. Thanks 😊 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! We appreciate you checking it out! - Walker
great , I laughed so much,
Not sure how I got here, but I've just been reminded how much I enjoyed working with the oxy acetylene torch in shop class. My experience with stick welding never got past the sparky 'intro to Flashdance' level, heh. Good times!
please, conitnue
Love your channel….even though I feel a little insulted (born in 64).
I think it has most of what I like to see, humour, serious, accuracy and a whole lot more.
Well done👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I googled this video while I was watching flash dance.
Would love to see your take on the heist scene from Thief
That Meco OA torch in The Love Bug was old when that movie was young. Great prop work though.
I know they should but not every company provides respirators, nor does every welder use them. They're not as standard as you represent in this video.
The wire frame angle of the Supra is from underneath!
That cam on the table in the fast and the furious isnt a 2j cam its too short
For someone that calls yourself a car guy its obvious you haven't built a fast car $15,000 is a good down payment to start building a fast jdm .
Dude, mig and tig have been around for a long time, perhaps you should familiarize yourself with a bit of welding history before commenting. I have trouble believing you are a professional welder.
