To be fair she really hasn't been in that many popular films not called Terminator. She's a bit like Sam Worthington - without James Cameron she wouldn't have much of a career to speak of 😅
my geology lecturer gave us all a copy of this film, he said that although the volcanic activity is speeded up for dramatic effect, Dante's Peak is actually one of the most accurate movie depictions of an eruption.
Yep. IIRC, about the only thing about volcanoes the film got wrong was people moving around so much in the presence of volcanic ash so thick in the skies. The air would've realistically been so thick with the stuff anyone out in it would've suffocated before they got too far.
@@DeinedThe thee biggest inaccuracies: Stratovolcanos do not produce fast flowing lava, since lava that thin wouldn't be dense enough to compact into a mountain. Hawaiian volcanos spread thin and fast, Stratos like St Helen's explode. Acidification of lakes is a real thing, but only crater lakes SATURATED by minerals over a long period get as dangerous as what was shown in the movie. Most lakes would be comparable to the pH of a can of soda--insurvivable to wildlife but harmless to humans. Pyroclastic flows are so hot they are instantly lethal from several kilometers away, so everyone would be incinerated in the final act. However, these are intentional for dramatic effect, not mistakes. The director was counseled by actual experts in the field for authenticity and it really shows.
@chainreaction3397 She is a teacher and has a college education, so I think it's so cute how intelligent and bubbly for loss of better word she always seems to be in her reaction.
21:50 Earthquakes are usually caused by the tectonic plates which is why places like Los Angeles and Japan are quite prone to them. However Earthquakes that happen before a volcanic eruption are Magmatic and have nothing to do with Tectonic plates
What I liked was how the writers didn't make Paul a generic movie antagonist. He actually had a pretty valid reason to oppose Harry and he even apologized and admitted he was wrong later. I also love the build up this movie has.
Actually that was pretty generic. Paul's the one that sent him there and then is SECOND GUESSING HARRY'S opinion after sending him there on the first place, it's to cause fake drama and a cheap apologize because the character's going to die. That's pretty damn generic.
@@radicalreactions1633 He sent him for a report, not a full-scale evacuation -- which by the way would've 100% destroyed tourism in Dante's Peak if it had been a false alarm.

@@joshuagross3151 i agree with you there, by false alarm it will deffently destroy the town financialy mainly from tourism. second creates also fear with local town citizens and trying to move away from the town what also destroys it. what paul did was politicaly ensure to send out warnings on science results instead gut feelings, as we all know its 1/1000000 ratio when a volcano gonna errupt.
The Towering Inferno with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen, and The Poseidon Adventure with Gene Hackman, are two of the classic disaster movies par excellence, the greatest exponents of the genre.
I can watch damn near anything with Gene Hackman in it. He is a national treasure. Paul Newman isn't bad, either. He was the reason why I watched The Verdict.
OMG, you two would LOVE *The Thomas Crown Affair* (1999) • Crime/Romance! It stars *Pierce Brosnan* 🎩 as a suave art theif 🖼️, and *Rene Russo* 💃 as an investigator out to catch whomever is stealing the art. *EDIT:* Also *Audrey Hepburn* and *Peter O'Toole* in *How to Steal a Million* (1966) • Comedy/Crime. 🥰
One of my favorite disaster movies. Pierce Brosnan is amazing in this role, and his and Linda Hamilton's chemistry is excellent. Its just a wrll written movie IMO.
I lived in Mexico City when this movie came out. Around that time, the Popocatépetl, a volcano close to Mexico City became active after centuries of being dormant and covered the city with a white layer of ash. Luckily the volcano only throws occasional smoke and ashes, but watching this movie was a trip when that happened. Not that Mexico City was in immediate danger (Puebla City for instance is much closer to the volcano than Mexico City), still impactful.
Dante's Peak was loosely inspired by the Mount St. Helens eruption back in the early 80's. The stubborn grandma was modeled after Harry R. Truman who refused to evacuate before the Helens volcano blew and died on the mountain.
@@sticky4158 Nope, the one who died in 1980 at Mt St Helens is Harry R. Truman. He was a prospector and owner of a lodge near the base of the mountain.
Just to let you both know,Yellowstone park is what they call a supervolcano. It blows it goodbye to life as we know it! But great reaction as always ladies and I love the jump scare-o-vision.Cassie I hope everything turns out ok with your husband. Prayers go out to you!❤❤
Well, if and only if it erupts near its full potential. The most likely event is actually a geyser eruption that won't be that bad comparatively. But it is quite possible it is just done with the full blown super eruptions. There are quite a few volcanoes in the US that are either erupting or in danger of erupting. Thankfully, most of them are in Alaska.
That scene I remember so well. I was eating fish and chips with my family (a treat at the time) and as a child myself then, I got really upset with the scene and couldn’t finish my meal which made me even more upset 😂
This and Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones are two of my favorite Volcano movies. Volcanoes are scary business, and I find them to be fascinating. When Krakatoa erupted in 1883, it became the loudest sound in recorded history.
Leading lady..Linda Hamilton, the amazing kick ass woman who played Sarah Connor. Also, please watch the impossible an absolutely brilliant disaster movie based on true events! Bloody incredible
Pyroclastic clouds (also known as pyroclastic flows) can travel for hundreds of miles depending on the severity of the eruption, and can be thousands of degrees, and up to supersonic speeds. They completely obliterate and incinerate everything in their path
The volcanic inspiration for “Dante's Peak” was the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, which was used as a filming location for some scenes in the movie. “Dante's Peak” is also strikingly similar to the 1981 movie “St. Helens,” which portrays a slightly dramatized story about the real event.
I didn’t know that, however it seemed like St. Helens, from the old lady not wanting to leave like the old man that didn’t leave. I always felt like this movie was based off of it.
Actually it is sorta a combination of the 1961 film "The Devil At 4 O'Clock" and the 1980 St. Helens eruption- "The Devil At 4 O'Clock" had similar storyline in which an island volcano that was erupting for a bit as the inhabitants scrambled to evacuate, while the main character raced to rescue a bunch of kids from a hospital near the volcano and get off the island. And there was also one final big explosion, albeit not a lateral one and the fate of the main characters were far grimmer. Unlike these 2 fictional volcanoes St. Helens eruption didn't really erupt until that big lateral eruption, and there was already a growing lava dome on the side before it went off.
@@deacongowan117 It was heavily inspired by St. Helens, though the erupting sequence also heavily borrowed the one from the 1961 film "The Devil at 4 O'Clock".
For fiberglass irritating you skin use small strips of duct tape to pat the area. I used to shape surfboards and I also have very sensitive skin. After sanding a board, I could feel the glass in my arms for days. Gently dabbing the tape on skin is not at all painful, so don't worry. Have your husband systematically go over your back with the tape so you don't miss any spots.
Another thing to try is a cold shower. As cold as you can take it. This makes your pores close up and the fiberglass strands slide right out and off your body.
@@thedoneeye Don't take a hot shower as it does the opposite and the glass (it is glass as in a bottle just spun) shards go deeper. Then as you cool the pours close and trap them.
Filmed in Northern Idaho, the town is real, the volcano was added in. Carly: "Sounds like a you problem."😂😂 Cassie: "I'm not a scientist!" 😂 You girls are hilarious. I love watching your videos. I don't care if Carly is busy...she needs to be there for every reaction, she adds so much fun.
I visited Wallace, Idaho, the small town where they filmed this movie, and talked to the locals a bit. They said that while it was a major inconvenience to have their town flooded with fake ash, they were excited about having a movie made there and having that as their claim to fame ever since. I also talked to a local cop who said he pulled over Pierce Brosnan for going well over 100 MPH in a fancy sports car on a nearby freeway. (Apparently that is his way of unwinding between filming, driving really fast and hoping he doesn't get a ticket.)
Absolute classic. Lots of scientific accuracy and realism (though exaggerated on purpose), and the special effects are STILL great to this day, probably because they used as many practical effects as they could even with CG as an option. They even built and exploded a 30ft model mountain for Dante's Peak, only using cg to place it in the background. The scene of them on the mountain itself was Mt St Helens, which inspired the movie, and it makes a full cameo in the very last shot.
Dante's Peak is my favorite disaster film, probably because it sticks as close to the truth as possible for a Hollywood film. I'm not sure why it received the ratings that it did. If you get a chance, watch the behind the scenes of the special effects: they put so much work into them for a great payoff.
The Dante's Peak destruction of the town was based on Mt. Pelee eruption destroying St.Peirre(it was known as Paris of the West Indies) in 1902. Only two people survived and one of them was a prisoner named Ludger Sylbaris because the prison cell he was in was partially deep underground made of thick stone with no windows except for narrow grating on the door. He only suffered some burns on his arms, legs, and back and avoided breathing air by using his clothes to stuff the door. The cell is still standing there today.
Oh yeah, bloody hell, I knew it reminded me of something. I saw that in story a documentary years ago, maybe it was a series called Savage earth, I can't really remember.....Thank you for reminding me of it....
Yellowstone Is pretty much a caldera a collapsed volcano. That's pretty big. If you look at aerial photos of Edinburgh Scotland there's a place called Arthur's Seat and you can see the signs of a collapsed caldera/ volcano. Edinburgh castle was built on the plug rock of an extinct volcano, which glaciers over millions of years eroded away. And pyroclastic clouds are like avalanches but made of molten rock, ash and gas, if I remember correctly faster than avalanches because of the gas combination. This was what wiped out Pompeii.
G'day from Australia....I'm so glad that you enjoyed this movie. This genre of disaster movies back in the day (1990's - 2000's) were huge as this was the introduction of CGI into movies. Movies like "Deep Impact", "Twister", "2012", "Armageddon" are other examples to which I'm sure you will be able to watch and enjoy. As always, your reactions/commentary between the pair of you are always fun to watch. Cannot wait to watch your next reaction videos. Take care.
I love the practical effects in this movie, the scene of the bridge being flooded by a torrent of water from the river, and the cars crossing the bridge are miniatures and look real.
yeah i miss miniature effects/practical effects in movies you can appreciate the craftsmanship that went into making these miniature sets compared to pure CGI
@@iyot1020 Unfortunately the art of practical effects has been lost today with the emergence of CGI, today it is preferred to save money and make a scene like this only with computers and the result is very unfortunate, everything looks very artificial, video game, I do not like it.
James Bond meets Sarah Connor and they take on the volcano. And C&C reacting to it. What a lovely birthday morning present. Thank you, ladies. Yeah, you really were on for a ride, eh? As I said before, one of my favorite disaster movies. Hope all is well with Ben. All the best wishes!
I love how everyone forgets that Pierce Brosnen was Remington Steele. Which is who he based his version of Bond loosely on. He was also tapped for Bond over Timothy Dalton, but he couldn’t get out of his Remington Steele contract to play the part so it went to Dalton.
Dante's Peak has been my top favorite disaster film of all time. The volcano that appears one last time at the closing credits is Mount St Helen's from news footage after her big eruption in May 18 1980.
Geologist here. Volcanoes like Mt St. Helens are usually a few hundred km from the actual plate boundaries. They form where 2 plates are colliding and the oceanic crust is getting pushed down towards the mantle and starts melting. That melt comes up and forms volcanoes inland - e.g all the volcanoes along the pacific coast, Alaska, Japan, Indonesia, New Zealand - aka the ring of fire. They could potentially be associated with major earthquakes but it would be pretty coincidental that the volcanoe would erupt at the same time as a major earthquake. And earthquakes associated with the eruption itself wouldn't be "knock down the church" intensity. I don't think anyways... That aspect is pretty Hollywood... But as far as "Geology movies" go, this one is better than Volcano, and whatever the movie where the core stopped spinning and they sent a human led expedition down there, yikes. Also, if you want to see a real volcano/lava, there's a cool one in Nicaragua called Masaya - you can see right down into the lava lake. I go there for work every few months and have been several times.
Linda Hamilton was in 80's tv series Beauty and the Beast with Ron Perlman. Characters' names Catherine and Vincent. Pierce Brosnan was in 80's tv series Remington Steele.
I love Dante's Peak. Pierce and Linda are absolutely great in it. I love the score. I love the effects. That 90s' simple but very well planned cinematography. And it introduced me to one of my favorite songs: Blue Moon by Cowboy Junkies (the bar scene).
Awesome! You should watch the “dueling disaster” counterpart to this movie, “Volcano” with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche. It and Dante’s Peak came out the year before “Armageddon” and “Deep Impact.”
It's less a dueling disaster thing than a general twin movie trend in Hollywood where something like a volcano eruption, an alien landing or a virtual reality story ends up getting made by more than one studio - because Hollywood clearly isn't very secure from production rumors at all, too many people have worked at different studios 😅 Good examples apart from the ones you mentioned are ET/Starman, Dark City/Thirteenth Floor/The Matrix/Existenz, Johnny Mnemonic/Starnge Days and The Abyss/Deepstar Six/Leviathan. Though there are dozens more examples to be found on Wikipedia - it's quite an eye opener to see how much Hollywood studios plagiarised from each other over the last 40+ years.
@@mnomadvfxI think it's less plagiarism from each other and more using script treatments or pitches without paying the writer. Like a writer sends out a script treatment to 10 studios, one decides to make it and one decides to steal it and rewrite it enough to be not get sued. There's almost no doubt that's what happened with Babylon 5 and Deep Space 9.
Well, they used CG to "complete" the mountain, since the lower third was actually a large hill in Idaho. And they used CG for the lava and a number of other elements. This movie wasn't devoid of computer generated effects and enhancements, but the spirit of your statement is true, it really relied heavily on practical effects which still look great.
I think you misunderstand the context of "disaster movie". In a disaster movie, the main focus is on the disaster. This is a science fiction thriller. Stop making shit up.
My tiny connection to this movie is that a family friend worked on the miniature effects for the volcano. Independently, is one of my favorite modern disaster movies. I still love the 70s Irwin Allen ones more but this is so very good. It's pretty earnest, it's brutal at times, and the effects are so convincing. Plus they pepper in some knowledge in nice ways to make it feel "Hollywood" real. You both had great reactions and felt very well engaged. So glad you got to see it together!
The best disaster movie ever, main reason is because it showed the other factors especially the pyroclastic clouds. Great reaction and glad y'all enjoyed this great film
Hot tip: Norwegian (I know) disaster movie The Wave from 2015. Cut from the same cloth with the exact same narrative structure and character types. But unlike Dante's Peak, which is a fictional scenario (though it is heavily inspired by the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption), the setting in The Wave is a real-life scenario in a real-life place.
While VOLCANO received negative reviews by Critics, Dante's Peak was given mixed reviews, as well as being accurate at showing at a possible volcnaic eruption.
Volcano was actually the one receiving mixed reviews while Dante's Peak got the bad ones. That said, I prefer Dante's Peak myself for it being much more scientifically accurate(minus a few minor nitpicks), it was an underrated film!
You might like Volcano. It’s about a volcano erupting in downtown LA. Was released in theaters about two months after Dante’s Peak. Not as good, but a decent second half to a potential double feature.
Thanks for the enjoyable reactions this week. Deep Impact and Dante's Peak were both criminally overlooked when they were in theaters. If you're both in the mood for something light and comedic, you can't go wrong with the classic Young Frankenstein. Logan Lucky has Channing Tatum and Daniel Craig hamming it up. Oh, I know! I think you'll both enjoy Warm Bodies. Basically, it's Romeo and Juliette with zombies. Cheers!
Wasn't Deep Impact a big hit? I know I saw it on my birthday and the theater was packed so I've always thought of it as a big success...but maybe compared to Armageddon it wasn't...?
I live at the base of an active volcano in Sicily, Mt. Etna. It constantly vents so when there are eruptions they aren't that severe. People live all over it. Also, ive hiked up the side of Mt. Vesuvius near Naples, which is also active and has caused catastrophes in history, such as Pompeii. It's all set up for tourists to walk up on a road to the crater at the top.
One of the best thing about this movie, it's based in Washington state and the director made sure to make everything scientifically accurate. They also give Mount St. Helens a scene in this movie, which all crater scenes were shot there. Also, cast and crew of this movie found themselves in a distribution race with 20th Century Fox, which was producing Volcano (1997) at the time. Due to a sped-up production schedule, this movie reached theaters almost three months earlier than Volcano and had better box-office success.
I loved watching movies with you girls. Btw, your sister has one of the brightest and most contagious smiles in the world. I can´t help but smile whenever she smiles
I hope your husband is doing well. Thanks for the reaction from you both. Good to see the team together. It's pretty accurate. A pyroclastic flow is a superheated cloud of dust, ash, and whatever is in the way that rushes down the mountain at +/- 100mph and incinerates everything in its path. BTW have you seen the 1989 movie "Always"? Good for disaster and romance plus a fun twist.
This is such a great movie, I am glad you picked this one. The crazy thing about movies like this is that the reality of what a volcanic eruption can potentially be is much worse and much scarier than what they show here. It makes sense, because a movie where everyone is killed immediately isn't much of a movie. Pyroclastic flows coming from an erupting volcano are so scary because they can be 1800 degrees and are moving on average at 62 miles per hour, but also have the potential to move at over 400 miles per hour. Anyway, loved your reaction!
also have potential move over 1600 miles and over 2000 degrees, it depends on type of volcano and wich VEI (Volcano Explosive Index) producing. look at krakatau that volcano produced VEI 6, and killed 36.000 during erupying most by floods. while mount st helens produced VEI 5, and yellowstone can produce VEI 8 and higher, depending how much magma is explosive in its chamber.
Most volcanos form on the ridges of plates, yes. Thats why the ring of fire exists. Some Volcanos form over "hot spots" like the hawaiian islands. The earthquakes before the eruption were caused by the magma moving under the mountain through volcanic tunnels, which can reach for MILES around the volcano to feed the magma chamber and fill it. Thats where hotsprings come from most of the time as well. Its why they are full of minerals and the water is kept warm by the magma flowing under them. its why earlier in the movie Harry argued with Paul and said "those quakes were shallow. They're not tectonic, they're magmatic"
Have been looking forward to this Reaction, and will be sharing it with My Mom...We Both Love this Movie!!👍👍 Hope that Cassie's Husband is doing better now-too.❤🩹
So this is my favorite comfort time movie.(I'm a guy what can I say). All the main vehicles in this movie I've owned over the years. The suburban, the AMC eagle and the 85 land cruiser so it gets my to the feels just like it did to you two but in an entirely different way. Next time you go back home, drive thru Wallace Idaho where this was filmed. The scene with the sewing needle was complete Ad-lib. His grandmother used to do trick to pierce when he was small. Thanks again for time very well spent.
My all time favorite movie! Saw it when I was kid, inspired me to go study geology and volcanology in college. Wanted to be as cool as Pierce Brosnan was in this movie one day.
I got so excited seeing you were watching Dante's Peak that I ran into the kitchen, grabbed some strawberry ice cream, plopped on the couch and put on the headphones. Loved this reaction to my all time favorite Volcano movie! Thank you ladies!
This is one of those ‘if it’s on, I’m watching it’ movies, absolutely love it! Love the build up to the disaster and then everything that happens afterwards lol
I was living in a volcanic island when this came out. Ever since I came out of theatre that night I always looked at our volcano with worrying heart. In the movie, they can escape by land far away, while we're stuck in an island surrounded by sea. Thank God, our volcano never erupted that big and hopefully it'll continue to stay calm. 😊🙏
This film was made during the prime of Pierce Brosnan's movie career. I saw it in the theater, and the female excitement in the audience when he was on the screen was amazing.
I love this movie it is one of my favorite disaster movies. I love the fact that you can see the town before the eruption and later on in the movie the town gets unrecognizable by all the ash and destruction. Also i love the fact that they showed the mountain just before the screen goes to black with it’s top blown off just like what happend with mount st helens. Great reaction keep it up!❤
A little tip for removing insulation fibers from your skin. First try packaging tape or duct tape to get the bigger stuff out, then use a fast drying glue or silicone or latex caulk spread on lightly and it will get into the pores and dry to the fibers. Slowly peel the dried glue or caulk off and most of the glass fibers should come out, latex paint will also work for pulling fibers out. Showering can cause fibers to work in deeper sometimes, depending on how fine they are. This also works on regular broken glass, metal dust or shavings, cactus spines, and most importantly, that annoying glitter from cards around the holidays.
When grandma jumps in the water I cry. What greater love has a man than to give his life for a friend. No greater love has a grandma than to sacrifice herself for her grandchildren.
Volcanos like the one in the movie are not on the edge of a plate but at a hot spot made by a plate melting underneath another. Iceland is one that the plates are spliting at the volcano site. The one in movie is like Mount St. Hellens in the cadcade range. It is a stratovolcano that blast ash high in the sky. You should check out the Yellowstone SupperVolcano, the whole park is in the throat. The one in the movie is baby compared to yellowstone. Yellowstone dumped 15 ft of ash 200 miles away and could drop inches on the east coast.
Yeah If it goes off the best bet is to have already moved to Peru, India or Australia. Most of North and Central America will be pretty unlivable for the next 5 to 10 years. Should eventually have some very rich soil but that will be after the ash settles and firms up.
The Cascade volcanoes _are_ on a plate boundary. Well, offset a bit inland to above where the subducted plate is melting. Ditto for Fuji. Yellowstone and Hawaii are hotspot volcanoes, powered by flows rising from deep in the mantle. And Iceland is both -- a hotspot currently under the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Remember, tell people to remain calm, but don't tell them to not panic. A positive is always more effective and feels like taking action, whereas telling someone not to so something creates negativity and re-suggests the very behavior you're trying to avoid.
You guys are really on an action movie roll - I wonder if anyone ever suggested Working Girl - the best writing you'll find for an 80's romcom and Harrison Ford at his peak...
I know it's off movie topic, but to help with the insulation. Cold showers are the best with fiberglass on your skin, warm showers open your pours, and let the glass in easier. Use to deal with that stuff all the time.
Anytime I hear this movie’s title I remember the grandmother scene. Watched it for the first time when I was about 9 and although it was horrific I found it to be more believable with how it shows that not everyone survives.
True fact: Pierce brosnan did a majority of his own stunts, including the helicopter stunt where he was holding onto terry on the Crane on the volcano. One year later the movie "volcano" with tommy lee jones came out. That's a good cross counterpart. And TLJ does a good job as well in it
Yes, JOE VS THE VOLCANO with Tom Hanks and multiple versions of Meg Ryan. With Lloyd Bridges and Robert Stack, too. Dan Hedaya as the jerk boss - "He can do the job, but will he?"
When I first saw Pierce Brosnan as Remington Steele I had absolutely no idea that he would be so huge in Hollywood it couldn't have happened to a better guy Pierce Brosnan is amazing and everything he does
Same year was a movie called "Volcano: Fire on the Mountain" with a very similar story. Yes, helicopters with turbine engines aren't good in ash conditions. The turbine blades will be covered in glassy particles, and the compression stage will fail and the engine will stop from lack of airflow. Volcanoes don't have to be on edges of tectonic plates. There are hotspots on the middle of tectonic plates. The earthquakes felt are caused by the molten rock moving up through the fractured rock, not tectonic activity. ELF is Extremely Low Frequency - a radio signal which can penetrate through a lot more than more usually used radio signals. If you want a LARGE volcano, go to Yellowstone Park. It's basically all inside a volcano crater. The largest volcano which isn't undersea. Its crater is 43 x 28 miles. And it's not on a tectonic plate boundary.
We watched this movie in my high school geology class, our teacher also showed us a documentary about the St Helens eruption and the Mt Pinatubo eruption. The volcano in the movie was kind of a mix of different volcanoes into one so you see what different eruptions would look like. The build up to the end, the pyroclastic cloud/flow, isn't just a cloud its basically a wall of ash, obsidian particles, toxic gas. They can be hotter than a 1000 degrees F, so it obliterates everything in its path.
@@thelionsshare6668 haha I understood this reference as well. I haven't watched it, but reviews have shown how ridiculous that scene is even in a fantasy.
Mount St. Helens (the real volcano this movie is based on) erupted out of its side, spewing molten hot ash and boulders outward with a force equal to 25,000 atomic bombs. It would have looked pretty much like the movie depicted. Destroying anything in the path of the cloud. Mount St. Helens leveled the forest around it and even changed the shape of the nearby lake.
Yes, Ms Hamilton looks so Elegant with her role as Mayor Rachel Wando in Roger Donaldson's film Dante's Peak (1997) 😊😊 . Congrulations to you Ms Hamilton .... She is now the leading lady alongside Pierce Brosnan 😊😊
Great movie! Glad you liked it. The town scenes were mostly filmed in Wallace, Idaho. Such a beautiful town, definitely on my bucket list of US places to visit.
This film had the vibe of the 70s disaster movies. Almost all of the events in this story happened in Mt St Helens in the 80s- from the entire mountain blowing, the pyroclastic cloud and the rapudly melted snow causing big mud floods that took out bridges & people that decided to stay in their homes never imagining the enormous scale of explosion. You should watch The Poseidon Adventure 1972. Really well done, based on a novel where the author was inspired when his own trip on the Queen Mary got hit by a rogue wave and rolled on it's side before slowly righting itself.
I haven't seen this movie in forever, but they really chose to use a Wilhelm scream for the guy's death at 29:33 lol - Also, a lot of the bridge scene at 29:04 where the cars are crossing was done with miniatures. It's actually a really impressive shot. At 30:00 they would just melt from the insane heat coming off the lava. Helicopters flying 1,000 ft above lava can feel heat lol
Heard the Wilhelm for the first time this viewing. The sound editor must have really not liked the Paul character. Very goofy choice of death scream otherwise😂
The shot of the smoke after the initial big quake was actually a still image, they thought about making a cgi cloud, but the still image made the blast look bigger, since the lack of movement gave an impression of greater scale.
I can’t believe you haven’t recognized Linda Hamilton from Terminator.
She was great in this movie.
@@elessartelcontar9415 Me too.
Me three.
Me four 😅
To be fair she really hasn't been in that many popular films not called Terminator.
She's a bit like Sam Worthington - without James Cameron she wouldn't have much of a career to speak of 😅
They should be introduced to Linda Blair!
my geology lecturer gave us all a copy of this film, he said that although the volcanic activity is speeded up for dramatic effect, Dante's Peak is actually one of the most accurate movie depictions of an eruption.
Yep. IIRC, about the only thing about volcanoes the film got wrong was people moving around so much in the presence of volcanic ash so thick in the skies. The air would've realistically been so thick with the stuff anyone out in it would've suffocated before they got too far.
@@DeinedThe thee biggest inaccuracies:
Stratovolcanos do not produce fast flowing lava, since lava that thin wouldn't be dense enough to compact into a mountain. Hawaiian volcanos spread thin and fast, Stratos like St Helen's explode.
Acidification of lakes is a real thing, but only crater lakes SATURATED by minerals over a long period get as dangerous as what was shown in the movie. Most lakes would be comparable to the pH of a can of soda--insurvivable to wildlife but harmless to humans.
Pyroclastic flows are so hot they are instantly lethal from several kilometers away, so everyone would be incinerated in the final act.
However, these are intentional for dramatic effect, not mistakes. The director was counseled by actual experts in the field for authenticity and it really shows.
Speeded up? Sounds like you need English class instead of geology.
feeling bitchy today huh?@@agreen778
Particularly for the Cascades, except for the lava flow.

second creates also fear with local town citizens and trying to move away from the town what also destroys it.
what paul did was politicaly ensure to send out warnings on science results instead gut feelings, as we all know its 1/1000000 ratio when a volcano gonna errupt.
The Towering Inferno with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen, and The Poseidon Adventure with Gene Hackman, are two of the classic disaster movies par excellence, the greatest exponents of the genre.
I can watch damn near anything with Gene Hackman in it. He is a national treasure. Paul Newman isn't bad, either. He was the reason why I watched The Verdict.
Both great!!
Both are still the absolute pinnacles of the disaster genre. In other words, couldn’t agree more
The original Posiedon Adventure!
2 Classics! 👍
OMG, you two would LOVE *The Thomas Crown Affair* (1999) • Crime/Romance! It stars *Pierce Brosnan* 🎩 as a suave art theif 🖼️, and *Rene Russo* 💃 as an investigator out to catch whomever is stealing the art.
*EDIT:* Also *Audrey Hepburn* and *Peter O'Toole* in *How to Steal a Million* (1966) • Comedy/Crime. 🥰
I was thinking the same thing!
After the sunset also
One of my favorite disaster movies. Pierce Brosnan is amazing in this role, and his and Linda Hamilton's chemistry is excellent. Its just a wrll written movie IMO.
That mountain you saw in the beginning is mt Rainer here in Washington state
I love your passion, even if I can’t possibly comprehend how you ever arrived at that opinion 😐🤨🧐🤷🏻♂️
They also did an amazing job casting the children, and the daughter in particular. She was really good, and looked so much like Linda Hamilton.
Son actually looks like john conner lol
I lived in Mexico City when this movie came out. Around that time, the Popocatépetl, a volcano close to Mexico City became active after centuries of being dormant and covered the city with a white layer of ash.
Luckily the volcano only throws occasional smoke and ashes, but watching this movie was a trip when that happened. Not that Mexico City was in immediate danger (Puebla City for instance is much closer to the volcano than Mexico City), still impactful.
Dante's Peak was loosely inspired by the Mount St. Helens eruption back in the early 80's. The stubborn grandma was modeled after Harry R. Truman who refused to evacuate before the Helens volcano blew and died on the mountain.
Yesn't - they actually have the grandma mention the St Helens eruption as triggering USGS investigations at Dantes Peak years earlier.
S*
@@sticky4158 Nope, the one who died in 1980 at Mt St Helens is Harry R. Truman. He was a prospector and owner of a lodge near the base of the mountain.
@@sticky4158Harry S. Truman was the 33rd US President
Harry R. Truman owned the Mt. St Helens lodge.
Yeah, landslides, lahars (huge flood surges) and the whole pyroclastic flow at the end were all seen at Mount St. Helens in 1980
Just to let you both know,Yellowstone park is what they call a supervolcano. It blows it goodbye to life as we know it! But great reaction as always ladies and I love the jump scare-o-vision.Cassie I hope everything turns out ok with your husband. Prayers go out to you!❤❤
Well, if and only if it erupts near its full potential. The most likely event is actually a geyser eruption that won't be that bad comparatively. But it is quite possible it is just done with the full blown super eruptions. There are quite a few volcanoes in the US that are either erupting or in danger of erupting. Thankfully, most of them are in Alaska.
Dante's Peak scared the crap out of me as a kid. The boat scene with the grandmother was so disturbing.
That and the boiling in the hot springs were the only scenes I remembered. Definitely made an impression.
But heroic! Bad ass grandma.
hot springs jumpscare got me good as a kid #nosleep
Definitely the reason I haven't seen this in a long time lol
That scene I remember so well. I was eating fish and chips with my family (a treat at the time) and as a child myself then, I got really upset with the scene and couldn’t finish my meal which made me even more upset 😂
I saw this movie as a kid. The grandma's sacrifice always stuck with me.
This and Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones are two of my favorite Volcano movies. Volcanoes are scary business, and I find them to be fascinating. When Krakatoa erupted in 1883, it became the loudest sound in recorded history.
My favorite volcano movie was Tom Hanks in " Joe versus the volcano 😂
Yes, this film is one to watch at some point
The Debris Circled the Globe!
I love the contrast between the two. Dante's Peak is very scientific, and Volcano is absolutely ridiculous.
@@LordVolkovIn that regard those movies' relationship resembles that of "Deep Impact" versus "Armageddon."
These ladies doesn't watch a movie, they living it. You have beautiful hearts. GOD bless you.
Leading lady..Linda Hamilton, the amazing kick ass woman who played Sarah Connor.
Also, please watch the impossible an absolutely brilliant disaster movie based on true events! Bloody incredible
The horror of Paul's death was severely undermined by the (unintentional) comedy of the Wilhelm scream. 🤣
yeah its up there for most um . . .well its a sin to say this but can we delete this from the scene?
Pyroclastic clouds (also known as pyroclastic flows) can travel for hundreds of miles depending on the severity of the eruption, and can be thousands of degrees, and up to supersonic speeds. They completely obliterate and incinerate everything in their path
Distance can depend on landscape too. Basically, if you can see it, you're way too close.
My geology teacher likened it to being sandblasted at several thousand degrees...😳
@@emilysmith259 Often with huge boulders.
@@juggis that too
They would have been toast irl with the flow behind them lol
The volcanic inspiration for “Dante's Peak” was the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, which was used as a filming location for some scenes in the movie. “Dante's Peak” is also strikingly similar to the 1981 movie “St. Helens,” which portrays a slightly dramatized story about the real event.
I didn’t know that, however it seemed like St. Helens, from the old lady not wanting to leave like the old man that didn’t leave. I always felt like this movie was based off of it.
I feel like they filmed this in BC.
Actually it is sorta a combination of the 1961 film "The Devil At 4 O'Clock" and the 1980 St. Helens eruption- "The Devil At 4 O'Clock" had similar storyline in which an island volcano that was erupting for a bit as the inhabitants scrambled to evacuate, while the main character raced to rescue a bunch of kids from a hospital near the volcano and get off the island. And there was also one final big explosion, albeit not a lateral one and the fate of the main characters were far grimmer. Unlike these 2 fictional volcanoes St. Helens eruption didn't really erupt until that big lateral eruption, and there was already a growing lava dome on the side before it went off.
@@deacongowan117 It was heavily inspired by St. Helens, though the erupting sequence also heavily borrowed the one from the 1961 film "The Devil at 4 O'Clock".
@@ChadSimpson-ft7yz It was mainly filmed in Wallace, Idaho.
This is one of my top 5 disaster movies! The science is super accurate for the most part, the acting is good, and the special effects are incredible
the science isnt acurrate at all. its just holywood imaginary bullshit.
I love how Carly first took it in and then reacted. You sisters have gold here. Beautiful reactions and great chemistry
My favorite reaction videos on this channel are with both sisters ❤
@@handsomeXagreed
For fiberglass irritating you skin use small strips of duct tape to pat the area. I used to shape surfboards and I also have very sensitive skin. After sanding a board, I could feel the glass in my arms for days. Gently dabbing the tape on skin is not at all painful, so don't worry.
Have your husband systematically go over your back with the tape so you don't miss any spots.
Another thing to try is a cold shower. As cold as you can take it. This makes your pores close up and the fiberglass strands slide right out and off your body.
@@thedoneeye Don't take a hot shower as it does the opposite and the glass (it is glass as in a bottle just spun) shards go deeper. Then as you cool the pours close and trap them.
@@Zealdave2223 👍
i have found using Cotten wool very gently moved over the area the tiny cotton strands hook onto the fiberglass and you can see them easier.
Buddy what the f are you talking about :D How's any of that of any relevance to the movie they just watched lol
Whoever does your editing is awesome. The Wilhelm scream in the intro was perfect!
I watched this again a year ago and im still stunned by the special effects. Amazing achievement by the spfx crew.
One of the many reasons I love practical effects so much, they hold up sooooo much better than CGI.
Corridor Crew talked about it, it still holds up so so well. Love this movie.
@@bdkj3eYeah nothing beats practical effects.
Filmed in Northern Idaho, the town is real, the volcano was added in. Carly: "Sounds like a you problem."😂😂 Cassie: "I'm not a scientist!" 😂 You girls are hilarious. I love watching your videos. I don't care if Carly is busy...she needs to be there for every reaction, she adds so much fun.
I visited Wallace, Idaho, the small town where they filmed this movie, and talked to the locals a bit. They said that while it was a major inconvenience to have their town flooded with fake ash, they were excited about having a movie made there and having that as their claim to fame ever since. I also talked to a local cop who said he pulled over Pierce Brosnan for going well over 100 MPH in a fancy sports car on a nearby freeway. (Apparently that is his way of unwinding between filming, driving really fast and hoping he doesn't get a ticket.)
Wallace, ID is a really cute town
I've read they actually filmed part of this at Mt. St. Helens, too. Have no clue which scene that would be.
Aha..... Wallace, Idaho. I've always wondered where they filmed this
Wallace, ID looks like a nice place. Might visit it someday.
I wonder what car he was driving lol
Absolute classic. Lots of scientific accuracy and realism (though exaggerated on purpose), and the special effects are STILL great to this day, probably because they used as many practical effects as they could even with CG as an option.
They even built and exploded a 30ft model mountain for Dante's Peak, only using cg to place it in the background. The scene of them on the mountain itself was Mt St Helens, which inspired the movie, and it makes a full cameo in the very last shot.
Dante's Peak is my favorite disaster film, probably because it sticks as close to the truth as possible for a Hollywood film. I'm not sure why it received the ratings that it did. If you get a chance, watch the behind the scenes of the special effects: they put so much work into them for a great payoff.
Mine too
The Dante's Peak destruction of the town was based on Mt. Pelee eruption destroying St.Peirre(it was known as Paris of the West Indies) in 1902. Only two people survived and one of them was a prisoner named Ludger Sylbaris because the prison cell he was in was partially deep underground made of thick stone with no windows except for narrow grating on the door. He only suffered some burns on his arms, legs, and back and avoided breathing air by using his clothes to stuff the door. The cell is still standing there today.
Oh yeah, bloody hell, I knew it reminded me of something. I saw that in story a documentary years ago, maybe it was a series called Savage earth, I can't really remember.....Thank you for reminding me of it....
@@Pizzpott No problem. :3 I defiantly want to see that documentary.
Yellowstone Is pretty much a caldera a collapsed volcano. That's pretty big.
If you look at aerial photos of Edinburgh Scotland there's a place called Arthur's Seat and you can see the signs of a collapsed caldera/ volcano.
Edinburgh castle was built on the plug rock of an extinct volcano, which glaciers over millions of years eroded away.
And pyroclastic clouds are like avalanches but made of molten rock, ash and gas, if I remember correctly faster than avalanches because of the gas combination.
This was what wiped out Pompeii.
G'day from Australia....I'm so glad that you enjoyed this movie. This genre of disaster movies back in the day (1990's - 2000's) were huge as this was the introduction of CGI into movies. Movies like "Deep Impact", "Twister", "2012", "Armageddon" are other examples to which I'm sure you will be able to watch and enjoy. As always, your reactions/commentary between the pair of you are always fun to watch. Cannot wait to watch your next reaction videos. Take care.
Back into at least the 1960s.
Don't forget about Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones.
I love the practical effects in this movie, the scene of the bridge being flooded by a torrent of water from the river, and the cars crossing the bridge are miniatures and look real.
Agree Amazing scene. Better than the CGI fake crap they have today.
I miss these type of effects. It just looked so much more realistic
It is not only the visual effects but the meticulous choreography of each object on screen.
yeah i miss miniature effects/practical effects in movies you can appreciate the craftsmanship that went into making these miniature sets compared to pure CGI
@@iyot1020 Unfortunately the art of practical effects has been lost today with the emergence of CGI, today it is preferred to save money and make a scene like this only with computers and the result is very unfortunate, everything looks very artificial, video game, I do not like it.
James Bond meets Sarah Connor and they take on the volcano. And C&C reacting to it. What a lovely birthday morning present. Thank you, ladies.
Yeah, you really were on for a ride, eh? As I said before, one of my favorite disaster movies.
Hope all is well with Ben. All the best wishes!
The offspring of Sarah Conner and James Bond would be a damn Superhero!
I love how everyone forgets that Pierce Brosnen was Remington Steele. Which is who he based his version of Bond loosely on. He was also tapped for Bond over Timothy Dalton, but he couldn’t get out of his Remington Steele contract to play the part so it went to Dalton.
WOW. I remember Remington Steel (have all seasons on DVD), but didn't know about the Dalton bit. I love that kind of knowledge!! Thanks.
Yes I loved Remington Steele.
Dante's Peak has been my top favorite disaster film of all time. The volcano that appears one last time at the closing credits is Mount St Helen's from news footage after her big eruption in May 18 1980.
Geologist here. Volcanoes like Mt St. Helens are usually a few hundred km from the actual plate boundaries. They form where 2 plates are colliding and the oceanic crust is getting pushed down towards the mantle and starts melting. That melt comes up and forms volcanoes inland - e.g all the volcanoes along the pacific coast, Alaska, Japan, Indonesia, New Zealand - aka the ring of fire. They could potentially be associated with major earthquakes but it would be pretty coincidental that the volcanoe would erupt at the same time as a major earthquake. And earthquakes associated with the eruption itself wouldn't be "knock down the church" intensity. I don't think anyways... That aspect is pretty Hollywood... But as far as "Geology movies" go, this one is better than Volcano, and whatever the movie where the core stopped spinning and they sent a human led expedition down there, yikes. Also, if you want to see a real volcano/lava, there's a cool one in Nicaragua called Masaya - you can see right down into the lava lake. I go there for work every few months and have been several times.
I’ve never heard of that place before
Linda Hamilton was in 80's tv series Beauty and the Beast with Ron Perlman. Characters' names Catherine and Vincent. Pierce Brosnan was in 80's tv series Remington Steele.
I love Dante's Peak. Pierce and Linda are absolutely great in it. I love the score. I love the effects. That 90s' simple but very well planned cinematography. And it introduced me to one of my favorite songs: Blue Moon by Cowboy Junkies (the bar scene).
21:52 "I'm not a scientist."
26:04 "I am a scientist"
Love the banter! ❤😅
Dante’s Peak is one of my favorite disasters films! I’m glad you both watched it!!
Awesome! You should watch the “dueling disaster” counterpart to this movie, “Volcano” with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche. It and Dante’s Peak came out the year before “Armageddon” and “Deep Impact.”
It's less a dueling disaster thing than a general twin movie trend in Hollywood where something like a volcano eruption, an alien landing or a virtual reality story ends up getting made by more than one studio - because Hollywood clearly isn't very secure from production rumors at all, too many people have worked at different studios 😅
Good examples apart from the ones you mentioned are ET/Starman, Dark City/Thirteenth Floor/The Matrix/Existenz, Johnny Mnemonic/Starnge Days and The Abyss/Deepstar Six/Leviathan.
Though there are dozens more examples to be found on Wikipedia - it's quite an eye opener to see how much Hollywood studios plagiarised from each other over the last 40+ years.
@@mnomadvfxI think it's less plagiarism from each other and more using script treatments or pitches without paying the writer. Like a writer sends out a script treatment to 10 studios, one decides to make it and one decides to steal it and rewrite it enough to be not get sued. There's almost no doubt that's what happened with Babylon 5 and Deep Space 9.
I do think this the better one. The science is more accurate and at a more personal level. But I do like Volcano for the big booms.
The way the '90's movies made was tense was such unique...
This is also a great Pre-CGI disaster movie so many incredible visual practical effects.
Well, they used CG to "complete" the mountain, since the lower third was actually a large hill in Idaho. And they used CG for the lava and a number of other elements. This movie wasn't devoid of computer generated effects and enhancements, but the spirit of your statement is true, it really relied heavily on practical effects which still look great.
It was back when CGI were used Properly, to Supplement Practical Effects and sets, not entirely replacing them like today.
The slowmo of you freaking out kills me everytime. Wayyyyy too funny hahahaa
My favorite disaster movie is "The Abyss". It starts as a disaster, then a military suspense, and ends as sci-fi.
It's hard to label The Abyss other than incredible storytelling, absolute must see.
Yes!!! Is great!
Twister is my favorite one.
My main man, James Cameron wrote and directed it.
I think you misunderstand the context of "disaster movie". In a disaster movie, the main focus is on the disaster. This is a science fiction thriller. Stop making shit up.
An underrated film imo, and another good example of how Linda Hamilton can convey a strong female character while maintaining a certain vulnerability.
My tiny connection to this movie is that a family friend worked on the miniature effects for the volcano. Independently, is one of my favorite modern disaster movies. I still love the 70s Irwin Allen ones more but this is so very good. It's pretty earnest, it's brutal at times, and the effects are so convincing. Plus they pepper in some knowledge in nice ways to make it feel "Hollywood" real.
You both had great reactions and felt very well engaged. So glad you got to see it together!
"I don't know I'm not a scientist"... "Thank you I am a scientist" hahaha best lines ever.
The best disaster movie ever, main reason is because it showed the other factors especially the pyroclastic clouds. Great reaction and glad y'all enjoyed this great film
It’s a great film
Eh, basically a rip-off of Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche. Prefer Volcano way more.

Hot tip: Norwegian (I know) disaster movie The Wave from 2015. Cut from the same cloth with the exact same narrative structure and character types. But unlike Dante's Peak, which is a fictional scenario (though it is heavily inspired by the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption), the setting in The Wave is a real-life scenario in a real-life place.
While VOLCANO received negative reviews by Critics, Dante's Peak was given mixed reviews, as well as being accurate at showing at a possible volcnaic eruption.
I remember seeing it three times at the theater. Loved it.
I loved volcano it was great
Volcano was actually the one receiving mixed reviews while Dante's Peak got the bad ones. That said, I prefer Dante's Peak myself for it being much more scientifically accurate(minus a few minor nitpicks), it was an underrated film!
Volcano also gave me nightmares after seeing the guy jump into the lava to save a life.
But volcano is so epic Tommy Lee Jones vs volcano 😅 though my dad was an Emergency Manager so that might have affected my opinion XD😅😂
You might like Volcano. It’s about a volcano erupting in downtown LA. Was released in theaters about two months after Dante’s Peak. Not as good, but a decent second half to a potential double feature.
yes, do volcano
Yes. Please watch Volcano
The slow motion replay of you two screaming is of my favorite recurring gags on your channel 😂, god bless your editor
Thanks for the enjoyable reactions this week. Deep Impact and Dante's Peak were both criminally overlooked when they were in theaters.
If you're both in the mood for something light and comedic, you can't go wrong with the classic Young Frankenstein. Logan Lucky has Channing Tatum and Daniel Craig hamming it up.
Oh, I know! I think you'll both enjoy Warm Bodies. Basically, it's Romeo and Juliette with zombies. Cheers!
Wasn't Deep Impact a big hit? I know I saw it on my birthday and the theater was packed so I've always thought of it as a big success...but maybe compared to Armageddon it wasn't...?
@ct6852 To the best of my knowledge, it didn't meet box office expectations, especially when compared to Armageddon.
Armageddon puts Deep Impact to shame. Armageddon was the highest-grossing movie of 1998. @@angelofontanesi7069
Living outside Seattle, we had road side signs reminding us to go up hill in case of volcano (Mount Rainier is overdue to go )
I live at the base of an active volcano in Sicily, Mt. Etna. It constantly vents so when there are eruptions they aren't that severe. People live all over it. Also, ive hiked up the side of Mt. Vesuvius near Naples, which is also active and has caused catastrophes in history, such as Pompeii. It's all set up for tourists to walk up on a road to the crater at the top.
One of the best thing about this movie, it's based in Washington state and the director made sure to make everything scientifically accurate. They also give Mount St. Helens a scene in this movie, which all crater scenes were shot there.
Also, cast and crew of this movie found themselves in a distribution race with 20th Century Fox, which was producing Volcano (1997) at the time. Due to a sped-up production schedule, this movie reached theaters almost three months earlier than Volcano and had better box-office success.

I hope your husband is doing well. Thanks for the reaction from you both. Good to see the team together. It's pretty accurate. A pyroclastic flow is a superheated cloud of dust, ash, and whatever is in the way that rushes down the mountain at +/- 100mph and incinerates everything in its path. BTW have you seen the 1989 movie "Always"? Good for disaster and romance plus a fun twist.
No one likes a kiss ass!
This is such a great movie, I am glad you picked this one. The crazy thing about movies like this is that the reality of what a volcanic eruption can potentially be is much worse and much scarier than what they show here. It makes sense, because a movie where everyone is killed immediately isn't much of a movie. Pyroclastic flows coming from an erupting volcano are so scary because they can be 1800 degrees and are moving on average at 62 miles per hour, but also have the potential to move at over 400 miles per hour. Anyway, loved your reaction!
also have potential move over 1600 miles and over 2000 degrees, it depends on type of volcano and wich VEI (Volcano Explosive Index) producing.
look at krakatau that volcano produced VEI 6, and killed 36.000 during erupying most by floods.
while mount st helens produced VEI 5, and yellowstone can produce VEI 8 and higher, depending how much magma is explosive in its chamber.
Grandma's sacrifice gets me every time.
Most volcanos form on the ridges of plates, yes. Thats why the ring of fire exists. Some Volcanos form over "hot spots" like the hawaiian islands. The earthquakes before the eruption were caused by the magma moving under the mountain through volcanic tunnels, which can reach for MILES around the volcano to feed the magma chamber and fill it. Thats where hotsprings come from most of the time as well. Its why they are full of minerals and the water is kept warm by the magma flowing under them. its why earlier in the movie Harry argued with Paul and said "those quakes were shallow. They're not tectonic, they're magmatic"
That how the continents were made
Have been looking forward to this Reaction, and will be sharing it with My Mom...We Both Love this Movie!!👍👍
Hope that Cassie's Husband is doing better now-too.❤🩹

Next time you go back home, drive thru Wallace Idaho where this was filmed.
The scene with the sewing needle was complete Ad-lib. His grandmother used to do trick to pierce when he was small.
Thanks again for time very well spent.
My all time favorite movie! Saw it when I was kid, inspired me to go study geology and volcanology in college. Wanted to be as cool as Pierce Brosnan was in this movie one day.
Out of polite curiosity, how did that turn out?
I remember the first time I saw this, my response was basically "Oh so it's Jaws, but the shark is a volcano"
I got so excited seeing you were watching Dante's Peak that I ran into the kitchen, grabbed some strawberry ice cream, plopped on the couch and put on the headphones. Loved this reaction to my all time favorite Volcano movie! Thank you ladies!
This is one of those ‘if it’s on, I’m watching it’ movies, absolutely love it! Love the build up to the disaster and then everything that happens afterwards lol
I was living in a volcanic island when this came out. Ever since I came out of theatre that night I always looked at our volcano with worrying heart. In the movie, they can escape by land far away, while we're stuck in an island surrounded by sea. Thank God, our volcano never erupted that big and hopefully it'll continue to stay calm. 😊🙏
Time to swim like your life depends on it. Lol.
I hope you have a boat
Underrated movie. I loved this when it came out and I am still surprised people haven't heard about it or seen it. Intense and exciting.
This film was made during the prime of Pierce Brosnan's movie career. I saw it in the theater, and the female excitement in the audience when he was on the screen was amazing.
I love this movie it is one of my favorite disaster movies. I love the fact that you can see the town before the eruption and later on in the movie the town gets unrecognizable by all the ash and destruction. Also i love the fact that they showed the mountain just before the screen goes to black with it’s top blown off just like what happend with mount st helens. Great reaction keep it up!❤
A little tip for removing insulation fibers from your skin. First try packaging tape or duct tape to get the bigger stuff out, then use a fast drying glue or silicone or latex caulk spread on lightly and it will get into the pores and dry to the fibers. Slowly peel the dried glue or caulk off and most of the glass fibers should come out, latex paint will also work for pulling fibers out. Showering can cause fibers to work in deeper sometimes, depending on how fine they are.
This also works on regular broken glass, metal dust or shavings, cactus spines, and most importantly, that annoying glitter from cards around the holidays.
Never worked with fiberglass, but this sounds like great practical advice. Hope she sees it.
My family treats glitter cards like the plague. If possible, they get read while still in the envelope, and then they go straight to the trash!
When grandma jumps in the water I cry. What greater love has a man than to give his life for a friend. No greater love has a grandma than to sacrifice herself for her grandchildren.
Volcanos like the one in the movie are not on the edge of a plate but at a hot spot made by a plate melting underneath another. Iceland is one that the plates are spliting at the volcano site. The one in movie is like Mount St. Hellens in the cadcade range. It is a stratovolcano that blast ash high in the sky. You should check out the Yellowstone SupperVolcano, the whole park is in the throat. The one in the movie is baby compared to yellowstone. Yellowstone dumped 15 ft of ash 200 miles away and could drop inches on the east coast.
Yeah If it goes off the best bet is to have already moved to Peru, India or Australia. Most of North and Central America will be pretty unlivable for the next 5 to 10 years. Should eventually have some very rich soil but that will be after the ash settles and firms up.
The Cascade volcanoes _are_ on a plate boundary. Well, offset a bit inland to above where the subducted plate is melting. Ditto for Fuji.
Yellowstone and Hawaii are hotspot volcanoes, powered by flows rising from deep in the mantle.
And Iceland is both -- a hotspot currently under the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
I loved your simultaneous reactions when you get jump scares, in this case seeing the boiled bodies in the hotsprings.
Remember, tell people to remain calm, but don't tell them to not panic. A positive is always more effective and feels like taking action, whereas telling someone not to so something creates negativity and re-suggests the very behavior you're trying to avoid.
You guys are really on an action movie roll - I wonder if anyone ever suggested Working Girl - the best writing you'll find for an 80's romcom and Harrison Ford at his peak...
I know it's off movie topic, but to help with the insulation. Cold showers are the best with fiberglass on your skin, warm showers open your pours, and let the glass in easier. Use to deal with that stuff all the time.
She really should have gone to the emergency room or at least her doctor
You are not wrong... but go to a doctor just in case
Anytime I hear this movie’s title I remember the grandmother scene.
Watched it for the first time when I was about 9 and although it was horrific I found it to be more believable with how it shows that not everyone survives.
True fact: Pierce brosnan did a majority of his own stunts, including the helicopter stunt where he was holding onto terry on the Crane on the volcano.
One year later the movie "volcano" with tommy lee jones came out. That's a good cross counterpart. And TLJ does a good job as well in it
Love this movie! One of my favorite Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton movie and I always like their chemistry!
Dante's Peak is loosely based on a true story. It is based around the events of the eruption of Mount St. Helen.
My mom still has ash saved from when it erupted. My aunt was living in Washington at the time.
My aunt Helen lived near St. Helen's, sent all the family members ash that was scrapped of her roof.
Props to Cass who knows her knowledge of volcano activity
Yes, JOE VS THE VOLCANO with Tom Hanks and multiple versions of Meg Ryan. With Lloyd Bridges and Robert Stack, too. Dan Hedaya as the jerk boss - "He can do the job, but will he?"
When she said I got chills, I got chills too but not because of the movie, it's because of the ice candy I ate while watching haha
When I first saw Pierce Brosnan as Remington Steele I had absolutely no idea that he would be so huge in Hollywood it couldn't have happened to a better guy Pierce Brosnan is amazing and everything he does
Have you seen Pierce Brosnan in The November Man? Great Movie.
Same year was a movie called "Volcano: Fire on the Mountain" with a very similar story.
Yes, helicopters with turbine engines aren't good in ash conditions. The turbine blades will be covered in glassy particles, and the compression stage will fail and the engine will stop from lack of airflow.
Volcanoes don't have to be on edges of tectonic plates. There are hotspots on the middle of tectonic plates.
The earthquakes felt are caused by the molten rock moving up through the fractured rock, not tectonic activity.
ELF is Extremely Low Frequency - a radio signal which can penetrate through a lot more than more usually used radio signals.
If you want a LARGE volcano, go to Yellowstone Park. It's basically all inside a volcano crater. The largest volcano which isn't undersea. Its crater is 43 x 28 miles. And it's not on a tectonic plate boundary.
We watched this movie in my high school geology class, our teacher also showed us a documentary about the St Helens eruption and the Mt Pinatubo eruption. The volcano in the movie was kind of a mix of different volcanoes into one so you see what different eruptions would look like. The build up to the end, the pyroclastic cloud/flow, isn't just a cloud its basically a wall of ash, obsidian particles, toxic gas. They can be hotter than a 1000 degrees F, so it obliterates everything in its path.
Unless you're an elf and the village she's protecting. And wearing thick, thick plot-armor.
@@thelionsshare6668 I understood that reference! 🤣
@@thelionsshare6668 haha I understood this reference as well. I haven't watched it, but reviews have shown how ridiculous that scene is even in a fantasy.
@@jmc28J17 that series was one of the worst I've ever scene, in terms of logic and accountability.
I’m glad Cassie googled her question because I had a guess and it was right lol. Saved me a google search myself
One of my favorite disaster movies. Loved it when it first came out and still love it now. Awesome reaction ladies.
Great reaction like always, props to the Editor for putting the The Wilhelm Scream on the beginning lol hilarious
Oh hell yeah, I've been hoping some of the reactors I watch would watch this movie. I loved this flick as a kid and watched it all the time.
Mount St. Helens (the real volcano this movie is based on) erupted out of its side, spewing molten hot ash and boulders outward with a force equal to 25,000 atomic bombs. It would have looked pretty much like the movie depicted. Destroying anything in the path of the cloud. Mount St. Helens leveled the forest around it and even changed the shape of the nearby lake.
I always loved this movie! It might not be completely accurate, but I still loved it.
FALLEN (1998)
Starring - Denzel washington, John Goodman, Donald Sutherland
Yes, Ms Hamilton looks so Elegant with her role as Mayor Rachel Wando in Roger Donaldson's film Dante's Peak (1997) 😊😊 . Congrulations to you Ms Hamilton .... She is now the leading lady alongside Pierce Brosnan 😊😊
Great movie! Glad you liked it. The town scenes were mostly filmed in Wallace, Idaho. Such a beautiful town, definitely on my bucket list of US places to visit.
This film had the vibe of the 70s disaster movies. Almost all of the events in this story happened in Mt St Helens in the 80s- from the entire mountain blowing, the pyroclastic cloud and the rapudly melted snow causing big mud floods that took out bridges & people that decided to stay in their homes never imagining the enormous scale of explosion. You should watch The Poseidon Adventure 1972. Really well done, based on a novel where the author was inspired when his own trip on the Queen Mary got hit by a rogue wave and rolled on it's side before slowly righting itself.
I haven't seen this movie in forever, but they really chose to use a Wilhelm scream for the guy's death at 29:33 lol - Also, a lot of the bridge scene at 29:04 where the cars are crossing was done with miniatures. It's actually a really impressive shot. At 30:00 they would just melt from the insane heat coming off the lava. Helicopters flying 1,000 ft above lava can feel heat lol
Heard the Wilhelm for the first time this viewing. The sound editor must have really not liked the Paul character. Very goofy choice of death scream otherwise😂
The shot of the smoke after the initial big quake was actually a still image, they thought about making a cgi cloud, but the still image made the blast look bigger, since the lack of movement gave an impression of greater scale.
At the end of the film Harry probably wishes he was wearing his brown pants
