Where women cried: "I'll never let go Jack"
Where men cried "I would have liked to have seen Montana"
Connery should have replied with, "Aye shall bury you there myshelf."
Then we smile again when we see him digging up fossils in Montana in Jurassic Park
My mom and I choked up every time we heard this line, and quoted it everafter. Chalk it up to Sam Neill; he’s so great.
Where men cried "I would have liked to have seen Montana"
And when Jim Brown died in The Dirty Dozen.
😭
"I only know Sean Connery from that SNL sketch. What else has he been in?"
Suddenly I'm feeling very old.
if i remember, he retired quite a few years back, last movie was the rock if im not mistaken sad
@@soulreaperiix_x8477 I thought his last movie was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Which I was very excited for but when I saw the beginning and the editing they had to do in his first fight...it took me out of the movie and never won me back. Shame. If Connery would have been a few years younger, that might have worked.
Well, he was one of the better James Bonds in multiple Bond films.
@@topomusicale5580 The Original Bond! LOL
@@gregmikk And the BEST!
I love how Sam Neill's last words were "I would love to have seen Montana" and his character first appears on Jurassic Park in Montana
Spielberg must’ve loved this one
😂😂
That's great!!!
In the book he survives 😊
@@OPproductions22He must have!
The transition from Russian to English is actually quite brilliant. Since the word "Armageddon" is the same in both languages, it makes sense to have that be the point where the switch takes place.
Agreed. The political officer reading from the Book of Revelations hits ... kind of close to the bone right now. Especially when you know what his name is.
And I wouldn't be surprised if the current situation snowballs into WWIII, all because of the guy the political officer shares his name with.
Wow, I didn't know that about "Armageddon." Brilliant indeed! 👍
My ex husband was on the Enterprise flight deck when they filmed Top Gun
@@Freakears Give me a break! What would the USA do if China built missile bases in Mexico or Canada? Putin just did the exact same thing that the USA would do if China flexed its muscles like NATO has been doing in Ukraine. Putin did nothing while Trump was in office, because he knew that Rump wouldn;t let him get away with it, just like he didn’t let Kim Jong whatsisname get away with threatening war either. The reason Putin wnet into Ukraine is because the US President of today is Joe Biden, one of the most corrupt and dishonest people in US politics and now a senile liability. The VP is a train-wreck waiting to happen and anyone with any sense would be terrified at that prospect, foreign leaders especially. No wonder Putin invaded Ukraine! If China was to do in Mexico what NATO is doing in Ukraine, the USA would invade Mexico in a heartbeat! It would be the only sensible thing to do! Putin does that and he’s the bad guy. According to the media who told us all that the vaccines are safe and will kill the virus. Why do people still take theeir word for anything?
Two times I felt physical pain while watching this: when she said she only knew Sean Connery from the SNL skit and when she asked if James Earl Jones was "the Sandlot Guy."
And, one moment of pure happines for me, is reading this comment before viewing, yet having no doubt at all to which SNL skit you are referring.
That was painful! She doesn’t know either James Bond or Darth Vader? Obviously she’s an agent from some other galaxy!
Ikr. How can anyone NOT know James Bond and/or Darth Vader. Both actors have decades of film work under their respective belts.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 And what "SNL skit" is that? Please tell us.
@@chadbattman6677 Celebrity Jeopardy. Will Ferrell plays Alex Trebek. One of many Celebrity Jeopardy skits. th-cam.com/video/ImaYMoTi2g8/w-d-xo.html
"Sean Connery, what else has been in? " he's frikkin James Bond!!!!
He was in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!
:O
Sad that was his last live action role, but even sadder that he kind of faded away for an entire generation once he retired. I even liked him in this indie film called Playing by Heart from around....1998?
@@CaturdayNite haha "faded away". He was cancelled by the moron mob that is twitter for something he said nearly 50 years ago. That's the world we live in now.
YES... he's friggin JAMES BOND!!! Sigh.

@@mil2k11 I think you meant he was held accountable for hitting women. Fixed it for you.
As a former US Navy sailor, I can says with certainty I can neither confirm nor deny that this is based on a true story.
Thanks for your service Shipmate. OS1 USN Retired here
@@RetiredSailor60 BM 2 thanks ya both
As they say on Family Feud, "good answer, good answer!" - and also, thank you for your service, even though I'm Canadian.
Thank you for your service. ET1 (SS). Silent Service.
It is, not a submarine but a cruiser.
"what else is he in?" ... *collective gasp of entire audience haha
This was Tom Clancy's first book, and the start (not chronologically) of the Jack Ryan series. It was so well researched and detailed that the US government called him in to find out what he actually knew. He started the techno-thriller genre, and was one of the best authors of the 20th century, in my opinion. Great reaction!
It's an amazing book. One of my favorites that he has written. Another one being Red Storm Rising
The Sum of All Fears is incredibly good as well
@@D4rkn3ss2000 don't forget Without Remorse
Yes, they wanted to know how a civilian got such an intimate knowledge of US and Russian nuclear submarines.
Jack Ryan is a character in a few movies that were books, i belive the next in the series is 'The sum of all fears'...
Scott Glenn, Sam Neil, James Earl Jones, Tim Curry, Stellan Skarsgard, Courtney B. Vance. What a great supporting cast!
You soon won’t forget Skarsgard. He was in ‘Thor’, ‘Chernobyl’ and in the upcoming ‘Dune’ as Vladamir Harkonen.
You are very correct, great supporting cast!!
@@campagnollo He could read a cookie recipe and make it sound intense.
Wilderness Girls
Actually I would call it ensemble cast.
Nothing you are about to see “ever happened”.
Classified.
Fun Fact, the mystic is the actual name of one of the two US rescue subs in service at the time.
Let me tell you, I LOVED your reaction to this movie. There is no way my daughter would sit down, watch this movie and enjoy it. For fathers everywhere, “you made us happy.”
Lol, my daughters nor my wife. I am alone when I watch this.
@@DocMicrowave That's sad. They are missing a great story. Love Tom Clancy.
@@susanalexander6721 Sub Love. There's nothing like it.
True
I remember being able to see directly after my honorable discharge, at one of the last drive-in theaters in the country. Wow, what an experience in 1990.
Cassie: "If Dr Ryan dies..."
LOL, Jack Ryan has the best plot armor of all fictional characters of all time.
He really does. 🤣
This statement doesn't begin to adequately describe its power.
He eve becomes POTUS.
Equalled only by Batman
Well, how is he supposed to be President if he dies?
21:00 The actor, Sam Neill, later starred in Jurassic Park as a dinosaur expert in Montana.
Sam Neil is incredible actor: Dead Calm with Nicole Kidman, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, Event Horizon, Jurassic Park, he replaced sir Anthony Hopkins as Odin in Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder, and lot more roles. He even appears in Peaky Blinders.
When this movie came out my father was home on leave. One of the very few times I saw him. He was on submarines in the Navy. We went to see this and I was wearing a USS Atlanta SSN 712 hat. The Dallas hats in the movie are SSN 700 and upon walking out people kept asking where I got the movie hat. I told them from him, pointing to my father in his uniform. Good times.
I saw this with my dad, who was a Navy vet who served on the very first nuclear powered boomers. Admiral Rickover personally interviewed every single officer who put in for the nuclear-powered boats. All my dad ever said was, when he left Rickover's office, the petty officer serving as the Admiral's yeoman asked "How did it go, Sir?" My Dad, a Lieutenant, answered, "I don't think he likes me very much." The yeoman smiled. "I wouldn't worry, Sir. Yesterday a Lieutenant Commander left here in tears."
My father loved this movie, grumbling a bit about the unrealistic amount of space there was on the sets.
We both laughed hardest when Van Pelt, Secretary of State, I guess? Defense Secretary? Anyway, he tells the Soviet ambassador "You've lost *another* submarine?" And the ambassador just sits looking like a kid telling his mom he lost his jacket *again*.
Great memories for you. God bless!
Sean Connery didn't do accents Sean Connery just played Sean Connery in every movie he was in and the movie adapted to fit him
he was so legendary that it didn't matter, to have his name on your movie was a licence to print money
Even Sean Connery couldn't save the 1998 "The Avengers" movie with Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes.
"I'm a politician which means I'm a liar and a cheat" greatest line ever
I think the baby bit that follows tops it.
"And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. _But_ it also means that I keep my options open."
I also loved when Alan Bates (the Austrian neo-nazi) in The Sum of All Fears quotes "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" from "We don't get fooled again"
There's little room in Tupalov's heart for anyone but Tupalov.
Get this: The Red October is a modified Typhoon class submarine. (It's somewhat larger than a standard of the class) That class is the largest submarine type ever built, so if Red October were real, it would hold the record for being THE largest submarine ever built.
"Is that the Sandlot guy?" Yeah. Also, Darth Vader!
"... 's voice!"
Alex Haley ;-)
"You heard it hit the hull and the Galactic Empire was never here."
... and Mufasa...
And King Mufasa !!! And the King of Zamunda
James Earl Jones, while in many films and plays, is none other than the voice of Darth Vader.
Shut the front door....really?

The actor that played Darth Vader physically (ie. not his voice), died after getting COVID-19 last year… 😔
One of my favorite little unsung scenes in this movie is the part where Admiral Padorin is walking into his office that morning, and everything his orderly says to him is met with "Ya ya" as if Padorin just doesn't care at all. He's in a completely zoned out mood. But then his orderly tells him that there's a letter from Ramius for him, and when he finds the letter, his entire demeanor changse immediately, and suddenly it's "Ahh! Marco!" It's so subtle, but it really does so much to show how fond of Ramius he is, and how much he misses him... which makes it all the more powerful when he realizes what Ramius is up to, and the spilled tea. Such a good movie overall though. The moment I saw you had it in your list, I had to check out your reaction immediately!
Scott Glenn got to spend time on an actual Navy submarine shadowing the captain to research his role as American Captain Bart Mancuso of the USS Dallas. He said he mostly just imitated the captain he was shadowing as the character, and he comes off so well in the role. I like Scott Glenn anyway, but this is one of my favorite roles of his, especially in his scene where Jonesie is playing the tape of the Red October for him and suggesting he's headed for Red Route One. (Courtney B. Vance is great as Jonesie too!)
The Los Angeles class attack sub that Scott Glenn studied on was the USS Salt Lake City which I only mention because Cassie is in Provo.
I give her a break for not knowing a lot. We have a whole generation who never knew a world with Cold War. The movie was based on the Tom Clancy book of the same name. Clancy in turn based ot upon an incident in 1975 where a Soviet frigate tried to initiate a revolution to overthrow the Soviet government. The political officer of the frigate felt that Breshinev had betrayed the ideals of the revolution. A combined fleet of Russian Naval and air forces stopped the ship before it reached its destination. The political officer was executed and other officers served prison terms for their participation in the incident. Clancy ended up being debfiered by the Pentagon and CIA because his book was so close to real operational details. However, all of his sources were open sources available to the public, so he ended up starting a revolution in publishing and wrote the Jack Ryan series of books.
If you liked Sean Connery in "The Hunt For Red October" you'll love him in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."
True that

Don't call me that, please!

I liked that, coupled with skimming right over having a summer wife and a winter wife.

I can’t wait to see Cassie watch “Dr.Strangelove”, “Dr.No” and all the other Jones and Connery films for the first time. Pure joy!
Does anyone remember Sean Connery in A Bridge Too Far or The Longest Day
34:11 "You arrogant ass, you've killed US" One of the best lines in the movie
And Tim freaking Curry, one of the best comic actors ever, in possibly the only straight role he's ever done. No mischievous grin, no one liners, no comedy whatsoever. I thought I was in the freaking Twilight Zone when I saw that. :-o
is just a push to the left is int "it" but he is a treasure in the Muppet s :)
Yo wasn't he in Legend with Tom Cruise? That didn't seem like a comedy to me.
@@jayeisenhardt1337 I had forgotten that role, though I haven't seen Legend since it first came out on video so that's been a while ago, and it didn't stick in my mind since I thought it was a meh movie. I also haven't seen 'It' as David references above, so almost all my experiences with Tim Curry's characters are him being comedic. Even in his dark turn as Cardinal Richeleu in The Three Musketeers there was still some of the well recognized comedic antics in his portrayal.
People mentioning Tim Curry.
Me: "Wilderness Girls"
I see him here, and keep remembering the role he played in Red Alert 3.
27:00 To "scuttle" a ship means to deliberately sink her, either by opening valves to let seawater in, or setting off small explosive charges that blow holes in the hull.
Thankyou comerade book'a'nov :)
The Caterpillar drive is a theory. It is called The MHD drive and uses superconducting magnets to accelerate water passing through it using a magnetic field, which is similar to how a caterpillar moves. The drive is often described as a jet engine for water that has no moving parts, making it very quiet. But it is not yet possible. We simply need stronger magnets and a TON more electricity.
Probably nuclear fusion and room temperature superconductors
In the book, we get vital backstory. Ryan had been in the military and had received back injury (and extensives operations) from an air crash.
For him to sleep, in the closing credits, means TOTAL exhaustion.
in Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit it is even seen. except it happens in post 9-11 Aafghanistan
"In the sea this is the equivalent of two cars rolling down the windows to talk to each other"........ Best analogy I've heard for this scene..😊
For apparently not having seen very many films, Cassie is very intuned. I have seen a lot of films and I can predict quite a lot of the story and even complete writer's sentences. Film class in college was a breeze, for example. I hadn't met someone else as good at it until this channel. She asks good questions, connects the dots well, catches the important details. She is very good at this.
I was on the USS Enterprise when they filmed this movie.
Under Kirk or Picard? Lol

It's always the Enterprise, it seems to be the one they allow filming on.
Scott Glenn who played the Captain of the Dallas played Alan Shepherd in "The Right Stuff". He was the astronaut who did the impression of Jose Jimenez.
and he played Denzel Washington's Creasy character in the original Man on Fire.
This is my mom’s favorite movie. She stops everything and tunes in whenever it’s on TV.
‘Scuttling’ means intentionally sinking a ship, usually a warship, to prevent it falling into the hands of an enemy although it’s also used at the end of a ship’s service life, to, for instance, allow the hulk to become the basis for a new coral reef.
The greatest 1day loss of naval power in history was on 21 June 1919 when 54 ships of the German Imperial navy were deliberately scuttled by their own crews at the British navy base of Scapa Flow. They were being held there by the Royal Navy awaiting the signing of the final peace treaty that ended World War I.
Fun facts: While most of the ships were salvaged over the past 100 years, there are still a few at the bottom. These are not only popular locations for scuba divers but a rare source of uncontaminated metal since they were made of high grade steel and sank before the first atomic bomb. This makes their hulls one of the few sources in the world of steel with no exposure to nuclear radiation.
@@Surfbird11 I saw a video on how many old warship wrecks of WW1 & WW2 vintage are being stolen in their entirety even though they are war graves.
@@Surfbird11 The demand for pre-nuclear steel isn't actually that high, which suppresses the value. What's being stripped in the past few years has mostly been the brass, which generally means cutting off the props (commonly 15 tonnes apiece on a battleship) and blasting into the engineering spaces.
I remember seeing a video documentry they did as a us carrier was scuttled to create a new reef and to later be used as a public diving training site. The preparations and removal of everything that could have caused harm to the sea and later be dangerous to future divers was enormous. Somehow they also managed to sink it pretty mutch straight down and have it sit almost perfectly upright on the ocean floor. They even hade cameras left inside the carrier as they sunk it to capture the water rushing in to diffrent parts of the ship.
Shiftry If you enjoyed that there’s a Discovery Channel special about sinking a Canadian missile cruiser at the end of its service life. Different branches took turns shooting at it. Another cruiser or destroyer used its main guns. 2 Canadian F/A 18s gave it a pass or two. An American sub was waiting confidently in the wings guaranteeing its torpedoes would break the proud ships back. It was sunk in an area where a reef was desirable. Crewmen who had served aboard the old ship saluted her as she slipped beneath the waves and it never failed to bring a tear to my eye, but the American cruiser unfurled an absolutely massive Stars and Stripes Battle Ensign to show respect. The thing was affixed amidships and the ends almost touched the water off the stern past the helicopter pad. I thought it was an absolutely classy move. It’s on YT, search ‘Discovery Canadian Cruiser,’ should pop up.
Tom Clancy book. There's a whole Jack Ryan series. Sean Connery is always like that, you'd probably like The Rock.
There is a great TH-cam video by a guy with a convincing theory that the guy Sean Connery is playing in The Rock is . . . James Bond.
LOVE The Rock.
I've read some of the Jack Ryan series and kind of.... got the impression that Tom Clancy secretly wants to be Jack. Lol. I mean the guy becomes president.
The Rock is awesome. I dont even like Nicholas Cage but it's one movie that I'll always watch if i see it on.
I am 53 and when you first started mentioning your dad's favorite movies. I felt a stab in heart. They are all my favorite movies!!
What I can tell you is trust your dad's list. You're in for a lot of fun. I think you mentioned Lethal Weapon. Good movie.
You dad clearly has a great list and you're in for a lot of fun, action and just plain old awesome!!
I did roll my eyes when you said you hadn't heard of Sean Connery. It seems unbelievable to us... ahem.... older people.
But then I realize that my 20 year old kids don't know either. Enjoy the fact you're young.
I have subscribed, so go and watch some old classics and I'll be back.
Ouch, it’s almost like hearing some kid/young adult asking “who is John Wayne?” Or “Who is robin Williams?” 😖😖
That Admiral was also a US Senator from Tennessee before playing the District Attorney on Law and Order. The younger man he was talking with was a holodeck character that came to life on Star Trek TING.
and chief air traffic controller in Die Hard 2: Die Harder. And both him (Fred Dalton Thompson) and Scott Glenn appeared in Secretariat.
I feel old... the word “defect” was a term everyone in my generation knew.
Right?! That and when she didn't know who Sean Connery was... blew my mind!!
I had to read your comment twice- the first time I read it as DEfect. Then I thought--OH!! it's deFECT!!
i think it's a buzzword for anyone that grew up in the constant menace of the cold war, so our leading lady is probably innocent of those times.
@@oldfrend I'm definitely younger than Mrs. Popcorn, and I'm not a native English speaker - but I know the word "defect". It's not a generational thing, it's a timeless word. I've never known anyone that has ever defected, during a war or otherwise, but it's just a word you know. If nothing else, you should have heard the word several times in school during history classes. But now that Mrs. Popcorn is seeing this many war/military movies and tv shows, her "war vocabulary" is surely increasing, lol.
Right? I know people who actually escaped from the Soviet Union.

Interesting story:
Scott Glenn actually based his character on a real submarine captain, who was the captain of a Los Angeles class submarine, where the actors were allowed to familiarize themself with a submarine.
"This will be easy! I don't have to act, I´ll just pretend I am this guy!"
And it was a great performance!
The guy playing the chief of the boat is actually one of the writers. The running joke of the movie is Jack's fear of turbulence, from his helicopter accident. By the end of the adventure he's cured of his fear.
Such a great and under-appreciated actor!
This girl is so cute. She's completely invested in the story and is so vulnerable that it's a joy to watch her reactions.
Some things kinda hurt though..."I only know him from (a parody) SNL". I mean...ouch? No 007? No Rock? Nothing? I mean, yeah, it happens but still. You are right though, at least the reactions are genuine and entertaining.
@@calibre97 "The Rock", really? Why not Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Untouchables, The Name of the Rose or The Longest Day?
@@scipioafricanus5871 Uh, because I didn't mention them. You did. So there's that.
@@scipioafricanus5871 HIGHLANDER!
Wish I could go back to watching all of these classics for the first time and experiencing this. It's why I watch her watch them. :D
Sean Connery and Kevin Costner in The Untouchables. His Oscar winning performance.
Great movie. I'm throwing in my James earl jones favorite.... Field of Dreams
Eh....It was good. But not close to Connery's best. I mean, Come on.
Highlander is another classic with Sean Connery.
Here endeth the lesson.
Connery playing an Irishman with a Scots accent. :-)
I really appreciate the thoughtful editing it must take to do this !!!
The reactions are genuine and appropriate. One of my favorite movies ever.
25:05 - "How are they communicating?" Consider: Both submarines are near surface, and both captains see the periscope of the other submarine. Now, in this exact scene (not in the reaction), you can see a light going on and off at the periscope. This is a message in Morse Code, sent by Captain Mancuso, turning the lights on and off (you can also hear the click-click of him turning lights on and off, on the background, as Ryan dictates the message). In the soviet submarine, Captain Ramius is reading the morse code message from the lights.
Yeah no idea why she didn’t show that part
Haha. Red October has always been the ultimate Dad flick. Serious, important men, having serious, important discussion about serious, important things... and gunfights... and explosions. Long-time favorite of mine, filled with a lot of great character actors. And you not really knowing anything about Connery made me feel very, VERY old...
For my friends and I, all women, we think of it as a scenery movie.
Serious, important... serious, important.... and gunfights, and explosions! Dad flick. Ha!
@@rabidsamfanSean Connery as scenery?😂
My dad was definitely into Red October, and he got me (female) into Tom Clancy through this movie. It was the first action/war/spy type movie I ever enjoyed. I read the book, and Patriot Games, some years later, but it was only a considerable few years later that I read most of the others. Tom Clancy and John Le Carre together got me into the whole Cold War spy/thriller/technothriller genre(s), including such writers as Forsyth, MacLean, MacInnes, and Michael Crichton. Thanks, Dad.
But women loved it too! Not sure why it succeeded, where other action films failed. The eye candy didn't hurt, lol.
October is the 'month' of the Russian revolution, hence 'Red October'
The 'sandlot guy' is the voice of Darth Vader
'Scuttle' is to deliberately let water into the boat to make it sink. Submarines are called boats
Ryan's wife was played by Gates McFadden; she plays Dr Crusher in Star Trek Next generation
So, I see you are a man of refined taste also...
I get a kick out the name “October Revolution” Russia was using an older calendar system that was behind the time. So the “October Revolution” actually happened in November for the rest of the world. Later Russia updated to the western calendar.
And submarines were invented in Ireland. Not many people know that (see also, hot air balloons, rippable stamps, hypodermic needles, flavoured crisps/chips, and many other things).
Also, Captain Tupolev of the Alfa-class submarine hunting Red October is Stellan Skarsgård, aka Erik Selvig in Thor and Avengers.
The officer in the helicopter telling Ryan what to do on the way to get him on the Dallas was David Graf, who played the gun-loving Tackleberry in the "Police Academy" films.
I discovered that movie only few years ago but now it's one of my favorite. I love everything about it.
Fun fact for you, they were a little closer than 100 miles to the nearest Naval base in Maine. The Penobscot River where they hide the Red October wasn’t far from Winter Harbor, Maine which was home to the Naval Security Group which operated from 1935-2002.
"Give me a ping, Vasily. One ping only, please."
I think the Soviets should have twigged that Ramius would defect because both his Russian and his English carried a noticeable Scottish accent.
Naahh, don't you know Scots and certain Lithuanian areas have exactly the same accent ;->
“Of coursh I’m Russian! Why do you ashk?”
"Give me a ping, Vashily. One ping only, pleash" There you go. Fixed it for you. :)

This movie is amazing. the acting, the story.. impressive. Cassie your reactions are so good and beautiful.
Great review. Fun Fact I was on the USS Enterprise when they filmed this. There is scene at 19:52 - 20:04 of which most was cut, where a plane crashes on the Flight Deck which was actual old footage, they used a smoke generator to simulate the fire, ironically the smoke generator actually caught on fire and we had a real fire on the flight deck which was put out quickly.
The smoke machine caught fire... That's ironic!
In the book, they were on the Kennedy (CV-67), and the guy who "crashed" was actually Jack's friend Robbie (who survived), but neither knew the other was on board. I'm not sure why they chose to film on the Enterprise. "Yours, Mine, and Ours, Star Trek IV, Top Gun, Hunt for Red October, and a few others I don't remember off the top of my head. Big-E always gets the screen time for some reason.
Also funnily enough that wasn't the Enterprise in Top Gun... It was super to be... But they used another ship for filming, the Ranger I think? I'll have to ask my buddy who was on it at the time.
Yes it was the Enterprise as VA-22 was assigned to it and I have a friend who was in it at the end when they Land he was a brown shirt with 3P on helmet. In the crowd.
Here's to the Big E. She was a beauty .
@@generalgrievous696 Looking forward to the next one!
One of my all time favourites. Sean Connery rest in peace. ( legend)
Still hard to believe he's gone. Time Bandits and Highlander are 2 roles he played I will never forget.
@@TedBrogan yes , great movies ( thete can be only one ) i loved him in the untouchables and his bond movies were just magic
Gates McFadden, Dr. Crusher Star Trek, played Ryan's wife. I never tire of this movie. I watch it at least once a year, kinda like Wizard of Oz when I was little, when color tv was a new thing, (yes I am that old).
20:00: "Did he eject in time?"
That's actual footage of an F9F Panther piloted by Cdr. George Duncan crashing on the USS Midway in June, 1951. Cdr. Duncan did not eject but did survive the crash (the cockpit section remained intact), going on to be promoted to Captain in the Navy and becoming a lawyer following his retirement from service.
and that F9F was supposed to look like an F-14 Tomcat!?
Sean Connery is the OG James Bond, and to this day, probably the best one.
His friend Ian Fleming, who created Bond, did not want him to play him at all. After the first movie all he said was, “I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
He is the original, and best, James Bond, and that isn’t just my opinion.
Even though, he was the 2nd actor to play Bond he is still the original Bond.
@@CorneliusSchwarzenstein, now you've piqued my curiosity. Who played James Bond before Sir Sean?
@@LeeCarlson Barry Nelson in "Casino Royale" (1954)
Connery is James Bond
Sam Neil is the “digger” in Jurassic Park who didn’t like kids.
She hasn't seen Jurassic Park. Evidently due to her reaction to Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day.

@Karl Zaraiva I gave it a 5 out of 5 for much the same reasons. It's not as good as Alien or The Thing, but it's not as bad as some.
I remember when I first saw this movie when it came out, and I was impressed with their method of having the Russians speak Russian in the very beginning, but using that "zoom in on lips" visual transition, they switched to all the Russians speaking English for the audience's benefit. Clever way of avoiding a major portion of the movie's dialogue from getting bogged down in subtitle hell, while letting us know that we're to imagine they are still speaking their native tongue.
Another thing to add is that when they switch the language from Russian to English they do it on the word Armageddon.
I always loved that stylistic choice from the first time I watched this in the theater. Just a really original way of doing it. Glad somebody else appreciates that choice!
in "the 13th warrior" the same director used this kind of language transition a second time, even a bit more elegantly...
They did it similarly in Clear and Present Danger with the baseball swing.
Agreed, very cool trick for the movie. A lot of other movies don't bother. I always appreciated how this one did it.
Also, the magazine in Jack's briefcase in the beginning, that's Proceedings. The monthly magazine of the U.S. Naval Institute. When Red October's author, Tom Clancy couldn't get his story published anywhere else, the USNI published it. I have a signed first edition. A gift from my wife. So, the magazine being in there, while definitely something someone in Ryan's position would read, was also a nod to the origins of the book.
I served in the Navy, on submarines, in San\ Diego, where this movie was largely filmed. My watch station was helmsman...means I actually drove the sub. Just watching you watch this is nostalgic for me.
Cool! I was based in Norfolk, and all of us forward folk took turns as helmsman.
Hey! Me Too! I was stationed in San Diego on the USS DRUM (SSN 677) and I was also a helmsman. We used to watch this movie all the time while out at sea, plus Das Boot of course.
"plus Das Boot of course" well that's a motivational one when you're on a sub😬
@@eltorrente1021 USS Sand Lance SSN 660
Thank you for your service, sir
That is the largest submarine that exists. Soviet Typhoon Class.
When I was in Yekaterinburg Russia there was a conference of submarine commanders, this movie was on the local television at the same time.

I remember being dragged to see this with my Father as a little boy when this came out, and not understanding a thing. Now in my old age I absolutely love this Film. It’s hard to beat a good Dramatic Spy Thriller. This movie will stand the test of time and hold up so well.
Thank you so much Cassie. You allow me to relive some of the best movies I've ever seen like I'm watching em for the first time.
The cast of this movie is so good. My favorite scene is James Earl Jones flipping his badge….’and I was never here.’
Also…’you lost another one?’ The unspoken snark! They both know what’s going on. Two diplomatic/spy masters budding heads.

There can be only one.
The double meaning of "brining home the bear" was such a great touch.
They filmed the “At Sea” parts off Long Beach, CA. The mock up of the Red October almost sunk the Tug that was towing it out for filming.
Tow cable got slack and rapped around the screw of the Tug and broke the “Stern Tube Seal” which caused major flooding.
I was stationed at Long Beach Naval Base at the time is how I know.
Connery was the original james bond . He has tons of great movies
Not the original, just the best. (Barry Nelson was the first, 8 years before Dr. No came out)
Yea so many movies she got to choose from.
She likes the military moves, but with a happy ending…. Sean Connery was great in “The Presidio” plus Mark Harmon and Meg Ryan…. Great movie.
He was not the original James bond. He was the second

Tom Clancy is the well known author who wrote some of the best spy and war novels that were made into movies, like Red October, Clear And Present Danger, Patriot Games, and The Sum Of All Fears, all starring the character of Jack Ryan, who has been played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck. Clancy's knowledge of the spy trade, military technology and tactics is extensive making me believe that he has friends in interesting places. As much as I hate to read, his book The Bear and The Dragon dealing mostly with how countries like the USA, Russia (the bear) and China (the dragon) spy on each other, was fascinating. But, it was his book Red Storm Rising about World War 3 with Russia impressed me the most. I was an aviation geek who joined the Army as an Aircraft Electrician and was stationed in Germany at an Apache attack helicopter brigade, when I red it. His description of the AH-64 Apache and technical data and tactics they would employ in a conventional anti-tank operation was frighteningly accurate. The book Red October is a master class in submarine warfare and much more in depth than the movie. The movie CRIMSON TIDE is another great submarine movie with a stellar cast.
Terminology 101. ASW (Anti-Submarine Warfare) ELF (Extreme Low Frequency Radio) SOSUS (Sound Surveillance System)
BTW. My last duty station as an active duty soldier was the 160th SOAR (Special Operations Airborne Regiment) depicted in BLACK HAWK DOWN. I will leave a comment there as well.
But what does BTW stand for?
One of my favourite movies of all time
It's funny. I've seen this movie so many times that I genuinely forgot that it wasn't self-evident that Ramius is defecting. But watching it through Cassie's eyes, I gained a renewed appreciation for the suspense.
I grew up falling asleep to this movie so many times, I'm surprised the VHS didn't wear out. Don't ask why a kid wanted to watch a submarine movie, but I loved it.
I kind of wish I’d seen it cold, with that uncertainty, but I’d already read the book earlier that year.
It's only self-evident on the first viewing because it's Sean Connery. :)
I read the book a few months before starting Law School and realy enjoyed it. Once I started class there was no time for pleasure reading. The pressure gets pretty high in grad school and the week before quarterly finals my nerves were shot so I tooks some time to relax with a book, Red October. I did well that quarter and continued the reading policy. Law students become somewhat suspicious and don`t want to make any changes in their routines so I read R.O. again. I continued that practice for the next 3 years. I got to where I could speed read the book in one evening. b
Sean Connery is "that guy lampooned on SNL", and James Earl Jones is "that one old dude from The Sandlot"? lol Girl, we got a lot of work to do! xD
Check out James Earl Jones as himself on "Big Bang Theory" he is hilarious.
@@charlesmills8712 "THATS NOT FUNNY, JAMES!!!"

Honestly, that's a big plus of this trend: People being introduced to a lot of great old movies.
One of my favorite scenes is when the Dallas bursts out of the water. Great stuff. A top ten movie of all time.
Jack's wife is Dr. Beverly Crusher.
"Hey! The Enterprise!" Finally someone is freaked by seeing her in this movie.
Is it really Enterprise? Often they used any CV that was handy and just slapped the Enterprise hull number on it. Same way they used the Ranger in Star Trek 4.
"Coffee? Cigarette?"
She has found the nuclear wessel.
@@jsharp3165 Yes, it's the real Enterprise.
@@jsharp3165 Going by another comment in this section, it was the real Enterprise. Apparently, he was onboard when they shot.
Well, now that you've heard Sean Connery as a Russian with a Scottish accent, it's time to hear him as an Ancient Egyptian who became Spanish with a Scottish accent playing opposite a Frenchman playing a Scotsman with no effort by either of them to do an accent properly. You need to watch Highlander.

"From the dawn of time we came... No one has ever known we were among you.......until now.

@@3Rayfire She does movies, but perhaps we could suggest a few TV episodes. Perhaps the comedy caper - "Stone of Scone" or the touching - "Saving Grace", or the adventure "Patient Number 7", or a moral dilemma one like "The Valkyrie."
The actor who talks to "Jonesy" in the scenes when he is listening to sonar,, the chief of the boat, is the screenwriter of this movie!
This film is essentially a remake of the WWII submarine movie "The Enemy Below." The themes of both films are very similar.
and that french (newer) movie Le Chant du Loup.
Scott Glenn the actor modeled his character, Bart Mancuso, after the Navy sub captain he observed for a week. The US Navy allowed Scott Glenn to observe as preparation for the movie.
I think they actually treated Scott Glenn as an XO and gave him "authority" on the bridge from time to time to really let him feel like a captain.
Glenn has been a favorite of mine since I saw him in The Right Stuff.
That explains why he sounds so damn salty.
@@TedBrogan See the film _The River_ where he plays the villain!
I've watched a couple of other reactions to red October, the thing they all have in common is how upset everyone gets when Sam Neals character dies, he just wanted a pickup truck and to live in Montana, so sad
Yes, Americans do love their pickup trucks (I laughed when she said that).
Not that I can argue, I have two of them.
You should watch that Russian girl Dasha, who comments on how they speak Russian. But she didn't know what buckaroo meant.
"Is that the sandlot guy?" No it's Darth Vader!
If you want more Jack Ryan watch The Sum of all Fears.
Or better yet, don't. That movie was a train wreck. Read the book, instead. Gave me nightmares.
This is one of my all time favorite movies . I've watched this so many times since it came out .
"How's the coffee, Ryan."
THE best submarine movie ever made is Das Boot. Germany's WWII submarine fleet almost won the war for the Axis. This film even in German is captivating and was heavily nominated for Academy Awards.
Agreed. Very sad ending.
Das Boot is different class👌
True, but this movie is also extremely good. The great performances make it appealing for people not ready for a long, hard war movie. This could be the perfect gateway to a later Das Boot viewing!
I think this movie is way more entertaining than Das Boot.
Das boot was originally a mini series in Germany, put together for world wide distribution. The full ( extended) version in German is the best
The way McTiernan is switching from russian to english is pure cinema.
I wonder how many takes that took, or if it was done in one? So flawless.
Based on the novel that launched Tom Clancy's career - the film and book were hugely popular when I was overseas working for NUSC and NUWC (most were prior-US Navy). Rumor was that Clancy was interviewed by Naval Intelligence; questioning how he knew certain details that were (apparently) Top Secret - as the story goes, Tom's assistants wheeled in reams of UN-classified and DE-classified material, and from all that Clancy said he just connected the dots and filled in the blanks, then asked - "Why? How close did I get?", to which they said, "You're in the middle of an investigation - How close do you THINK you got?" - I don't know how true that part is, but it makes for a great addition to a great modern-day sea story. "Red October" refers to the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 Russia, which led to the formation of the USSR. Clancy's character "Jack Ryan" goes on to appear in films such as Patriot Games (Paramount, 1992), and Clear And Present Danger(Paramount, 1994), and portrayed by one of your favorites, Harrison Ford.
I enjoyed the book as well as the movie
"In the name of the rose", very good movie with Sean Connery.
You really should watch " Das Boot" If this gives you the creeps, that will give you goose bumps all day long.
Also, Run Silent, Run Deep.
Can't believe I had to scroll so far for this comment. Das Boot is the submarine-film to watch, HfRO is the Hollywood massacre of the submarine war film.
As a German I second this comment. You should take the time for the directors cut. I consider a must-see movie for any movie-enthusiast's bucket list :)
Das Boot is a great film. I never knew of it until U-571 was in theaters and all the debate back and forth to which is better.
There is also Crimson Tide. In that same vein with Jame Earl Jones and Powers Boothe, By Dawns Early Light. Those all about when ya trained to kill, how it takes on an entirely different meaning when it's just the button to end the world. Do you press it or not even if ya been trained to take that order. Like how Sean Connery had both keys, just trying to understand what "all the power" as she said actually means.
The movie is based on Tom Clancy's first book, Jack Ryan is the protagonist of most of his books. There are a few other movies based on Clancy's books and an amazon series "Jack Ryan". Tom Clancy was probably the most known political thriller novelists.
As mentioned is this an adaptation of Tom Clancys book.
There are others as well with various actors portraying Jack Ryan:
*Clear and present danger* (Harrison Ford)
*Patriot Games* (Harrison Ford)
*The sum of all fears* (Ben Affleck)
*Shadow Recruit* (Chris Pine)
It is arguably a matter of taste whether or not one would like these films.
Personally I find Red october an Sum of all fears, to be the best of them.
I’m sure others will disagree.
Yeah, shame they butchered the movies though. Too much deviation w/out any thought to how the changes mesh.
I've read most of them along with a Tom Clancy personally autographed hard cover book given to me by my brother as a present. He is also a Clancy fan.
@@MatthewPettyST1300 -- Very nice! 👍
@@muhest It think both Ford movies are equal. I wish they continued making them with Ford.
The Amazon streaming show, and With Out Remorse movie is limp. They just use the IP to old onto the rights.
Red October was an amazing experience in the theater! I saw it several times...it inspired me to read the book. The book was as amazing as the movie! Alex Baldwin was so great in the role, he really is a fantastic and versatile actor. He does a movie like this, as well as an off beat comedy Beetlejuice! He was the man at that time, legit.
This shows you what good writing is. The cast doesn't matter, as long as the writing is good!
Watched this with my dad many times growing up, and still love it now.
