This one is probably my absolute favorite end of the world movie. Saw this in the theaters as a teenager. Great to see your reaction to it. There's a couple of other movies similar to this that I liked that came out around the same time. Deep Impact is good. It has Morgan Freeman and Elijah Wood. Contact was a good one as well.
The Day After Tomorrow is one of my favorites.
Armageddon is my favorite along with Don’t Look Up, and Deep Impact :)
@@Trashcan-Man yesss The Day After Tomorrow is a good one too!
I’d love to see you react to Don’t Look Up next!
This is certainly one of M. Bay's best movies, it handles this weird dichotomy of slapstick absurdity and heartfelt poignant drama so well
MURRRRRRRRRICA RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Movies like this came from a different period in movie making. We wanted this. The cheesy lines, simple plot, and just having fun. I love movies now, but every once in a while I pine for this style of movie, something you can just throw on and watch without having to think and just let it entertain you.
A very different style of movie yeah. I like watching movies from different decades since they change so much
No way fuck the woke shit they produce now. Absolute garbage except for very few things like top gun maverick.
Nic Cage perfected mindless fun films in the 90s
@@basecode8 I'll be watching a Nic Cage moviesoon!!
@@basecode8Good times indeed.
Sometimes, when all else fails and prayers to the machine spirit go unheard, hitting things with a hammer and screaming at it is perfectly logical and reasonable.
Its called percussive maintenance and often solves the problem.
Mechanical agitation can be highly effective!
no matter how many times i see this movie, it just punches me right in the feels, its cheesy and and cliche but it handles merging cheesy and true heartfelt moments perfectly
It's not every movie that can combine those elements and make it heartfelt!
One of my very favorite lines in a movie is in this... Lev's line, "Russian parts, American parts... all made in Tiwan!" I laugh every time!
This film on July 16, 1998 was the best film I have ever seen in the cinema. it ran for the very first time and the cinema was full to the brim. everyone loved the movie. in the end everyone cried. i think i most. I will never forget the day. For me it is a very special film. i love the story, the actors, the soundtrack, everything! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's amazing having memories like this and being able to enjoy movies so much!
@@VerowakReacts
yes, that day everything was just right. It was just an incredibly beautiful day. I was just 18 years old and in the middle of my apprenticeship. I still remember telling every one of my work colleagues about this film because I was so excited. this film just came across so well on the big screen that you can't imagine. was really a great experience back in 1998.
It was so much better than Deep impact
I was looking for this. I was 18 and dumb for seeing this in theater. I think I saw Toy Story instead
Yeah, the context for this and movies like it, is it's a fantastical story and needs to be watched through that lens. And also a bit of reality mixed in. The movie's just fun. Happy, sad, intense, hilarious, cheesy. Lots of great moments. You basically reacted exactly how the movie plays - you enjoyed it for what it is.
I do try to enjoy movies for what they are and not expect accuracy or realism lol
Another interesting fact that wasn't covered is that, at this point in time, Aerosmith had been making music for about 20 some years but it wasn't until releasing "I Don't Want to Miss A Thing" that the band finally got a No. 1 hit. Their other single track, "Angel" got as high as No. 2 but never quite conquered the top spot.
First Aerosmith song I heard was Jaded. I Don't Want to Miss a Thing was the second
The commentary track featuring Affleck is amazing, maybe even better than the movie itself.
Now I'm super curious. I'll have to give it a watch
Yeah that commentary's fantastic. It's from the golden era of DVD extras where you really could say what you wanted.
I know that this movie has pretty much zero scientific accuracy, but hot damn it’s a lot of fun! And it can also be really comedic, sad, epic, and it has a great soundtrack/score and good performances!
Definitely a movie made to entertain!
Yeah, Deep Impact is worth to be watched. It's more of a drama movie. It's pride, love, sacrifice, and the worth of human bonds and lives in a catastrophic context.
And regarding Pearl Harbour and Titanic, the comparison is difficult. Titanic is one of the best movies of all times.
Also much more scientifically accurate. Not that that always matters but with the two side by side, if you’re into astrophysics, one doesn’t take you out of the film because of massive scientific inaccuracies.
Great score, though!
34:12 When the producers were trying to convince Aerosmith to record the theme 'I don't want to miss a thing' they showed this scene to Steve Tyler, the lead singer and Liv's father. He had the same reaction as you to seeing his daughter calling for her dad and finally agreed. 😭#Masterstroke
"I'd like to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest ma..." sniff sniff... too soon. 😢
That actor, William Fichtner, is also the same banker that asks the Joker "what do you believe in?" in The Dark Knight.
That was a fun watchalong with ya, V. Thanks for this one.
There is a cut scene that explains that NASA was only able to fund the rover program by having additional money from the military requiring them to make the rovers useful to them, which is why they have minigun attachments.
Ahhh, of course lol
Classic old fashioned fun, super unrealistic, but so much fun :) have to watch it again now, awesome react 😊
Super unrealistic yeah! But the movie is made for fun, and it delivers!
Bruce Willis in the same year released a movie called "Mercury Rising", in which he plays a police officer served to protect an autistic kid who solved an unbreakable NSA code. Pretty good movie.
I don't know how much you know about this type of stuff, or care, but Liv Tyler, Arwen, is the daughter of the legendary Steven Tyler, the lead singer of the rock band Aerosmith, who also did the song from this movie. Look up a picture of him, and you'll definitely see the family resemblance.
If you don't know, Aerosmith is one of the best American hard rock bands ever, that were big in the 70s, literally lived every cliche of sex, drugs, and rock n roll that you can imagine, and were broken up by the 80s because of it. When nobody ever thought you'd see them again, they cleaned up and made a miraculous come back in the late 80s, had another resurgance in the 90s, and the song from this movie was another high point for them as well. They're still around, and somewhat recently were suppose to start a residency performing in Las Vegas, but that had been delayed when Steven Tyler now 75 years old relapsed again and had to go to rehab, again.
You should see "Deep Impact". Yes, they have very similar concepts and came out about the same time, but were done differently. "Deep Impact" is basically the version of this concept if it hadn't been made by Michael Bay. So, it's interesting to see the difference, and it's actually very good.
I definitely knew all of that about Liv Tyler and Aerosmith. I do want to watch Deep Impact since they were released the same year and are both end of the world type movies
@@VerowakReacts that actually didn't use to be that uncommon. Particularly in the 80s, but even into the 90s. If one company produced something that became successful, then another one would try to profit off of that by creating a copy cat. There were whole franchises created this way. Like for example, after Rambo 2, there was a whole series of "Missing In Action" movies starring Chuck Norris. There were wannabe Indiana Jones movies. Everything. Someone would make a ninja movie, and so would someone else. After "Jaws", there'd be another shark movie. Etc.
If you're interested, there was a documentary called "Electric Boogaloo" about Cannon films, which produced a shit load of B movies, and sometimes better, in the 80s, and I could be remembering this wrong, or mixing it up with something else, but it was two cousins that owned that company, at one point had a falling out, and one of them went off and started a competing company, and they were copying each other back and forth and racing to see who hit the theaters first.
And it wasn't just the fringe studios either. It would happen with the major studios too. Pretty regularly, and sometimes they'd be strikingly similar. Like two movies about the same historical event or figure coming out about the same time. "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact" are probably an example of the later day of that being so regular, but it's why studios are, or at least used to be so guarded about what they have in preproduction, or even production, because other studios would want to know, and if they could find out, or even get a hold of a script, they would immediately rush into production on the same thing in an attempt to beat them to release. Even if it just ended up being a coincidence. That might be why Michael Bay only got 16 weeks to shoot this. The whole studio system doesn't exist in the same way anymore, and things are different, so you don't see it as much, or as obviously as you used to, but it was definitely a thing.
I feel like Harry's heartfelt words to AJ at the end would have meant more if he hadn't had literally fired a shotgun at him at the start of the movie. Another great video Vero!
Hahaha I always thought of you as a son. Though he did try to shoot him with a shotgun but that's not important anymore 🤣
People just aren’t very logical when in emotional moments. I think Harry probably felt hurt and betrayed that neither one of them talked to him first.
I love this movie. I know it's cheesy and totally unrealistic but when I saw this in the theater in 98 and Harry sacrificed himself, especially after not even wanting to go on the mission to start with, it just hit a little different for me. Definitely a guilty pleasure movie for me along with a handful of other ones like Stealth, The Rock, Eraser, and Deep Blue Sea, and The Core. Thank you for watching and reacting to it.
Guilty pleasure movies are great! Everyone has them and the fact that they love watching the movie is all that matters!
"You should have took a right at Albuquerque " 😂 That was fantastic.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!
This came out the summer before my senior year of High School. That first semester I had an astronomy class. We were an advanced school and everyone was taking college level math and science courses. Girl in astronomy class actually asked if "can Armageddon happen?"
The teacher giggled politely and said "hit by an asteroid? Absolutely. This movie? Absolutely not"
Glad that the teacher responded that way lol
LMAO I almost didn't notice that astronaut Vero in the thumbnail 😂
THERE'S TWO ASTRONAUT VERO!! 😂
Deep impact follows the same type of catastrophe, but is a few steps less action and more drama. If you like this kind of over-the-top end-of-the-world action movie, try "2012"... It is also a roller-coaster of a film. :)
Deep Impact is another one I want to watch yeah!
Not nearly as good as Armageddon
@@michaelmiller378 Not better, just different.
Just stumbled across your channel. I love your style and your commentary! I was sold when I spotted "The Dark Half" in the background. Solid content; looking forward to watching more 😉
I think you were right with your initial assessment. It’s cheesy, it’s unrealistic but boy is it fun. The fact that it clearly stirred emotion in you speaks volumes and it should be judged on that, not post viewing over analysis.
It's not post viewing over analysis, it's watching the movie for a second time
as ,far as the 2 movies go. . id say armageddon is the bigger star power fed action flick. . but deep impact was the better character fed drama. . . so they were both really good just in different ways
For sure going to watch Deep Impact to see the differences
@@VerowakReacts glad to hear it def worth the watch
16:41 "Mom! That salesman's on TV!" 🤣🤣🤣
You are one of the ones I like best, in all these reaction videos. I feel exactly what you feel in all the scenes, and I felt connected. You have a new subscriber.
Welcome to the channel!! It's great finding people that view movies the same way ☺️
I saw this film in the cinema when I was 14 and loved it. I know it’s not accurate and it’s a bit cheesy but I do love watching it from time to time. I think that it had “I don’t want to miss a thing” in the soundtrack made the film that much more special.
Such a tear jerker… I tear up every time the gambler gets to see his son - happy sad. Thanks for the reaction.
You cried when he left a little model of the shuttle on the step. I ALWAYS cry at that point. I loved that scene.
I liked the asteroid space effects - very imposing looking asteroid.
Eventually I realized the science, of course, doesn't back up a few things. Ceres, the largest asteroid, is not quite the size of Texas, and it is collapsed into a round shape, which this asteroid did not do (it should have). There aren't any other bodies in the asteroid field large enough to break into a Texas-sized fragment. Ceres alone has 25% of the entire asteroid belt's mass in it. The entire asteroid belt only has 3% the mass of the Moon.
Otherwise, I though the movie was just ok.
As for end of the world movies, Independence Day, Godzilla, Armageddon and Deep Impact were all released between 96 and 98. In all 4 movies, New York gets the crap kicked out of it. That became a lot more real in 2001 when 9/11 happened. Seeing that first tower collapse, then the second tower, filled me with the truest horror I've ever felt.
Along with Deep Impact, there was also a Roland Emmerich Godzilla movie that came out that year. That's why the little dog attacked the Godzilla toys.
Exploding with happiness watching this reaction. Great job!
I see what you did there! Exploding 😂
The two studios insulting one another's projects was almost certainly just for free publicity. Both studios get mentioned, all the stars get mentioned, journalists get to run off and interview the insulted studio/cast/crew, and the public eats it up because it's Hollywood gossip. Sniping at one another in the press probably saved both studios millions of dollars in advertising.
21:05 Fun fact : All the planets in the solar system if put side by side could fit between the Earth and the Moon. So in reality, the asteroid would still be quite far away from the Earth if like in the movie it just passed the Moon.
That's the fun fact I always tell people!! It's so crazy how far the damn moon is lol
That depends entirely on how fast it's moving, which is not stated anywhere in the film.
So did you watch all the way through the credits the wedding pictures and videos and songs?
God. This movie was such a big deal to us teenagers when it came out. It's so... Michael Bay. Must've seen it dozens of times. Didn't care how inaccurate it was. It was just fun. ♥
Michael Bay movies, from what I've seen/heard, are usually just fun (and explosions)!
@@VerowakReacts Yeah. I liked them a lot when I was younger. I've grown out of them though. Which I just mean as the development of my own tastes and preferences as I age. Not slighting anyone who likes his films. We all need escapism these days.
@@nataliefaust7959 Escapism and guilty pleasure movies are very nice to have! It's interesting to see how our tastes and preferences change over the years!
@@VerowakReacts I keep thinking... "You know as much as we enjoy our conversations (little Last Samurai nod there) I should really give more consideration to joining her Discord..." XD ♥
@@nataliefaust7959 I know Discord isn't for everyone, and it can be pretty strange joining a new one. I just love chatting with people, so I love getting YT comments or Discord 😀😍
They didn't train drillers to be astronauts, they trained drillers to put on a space suit and sit in the shuttle. Learning how to run deep core mining equipment is infinitely more difficult than that.
I love this film and come back to it every few years, nice to see first reactions.
It's really an entertaining movie!
"Why would they have a gun on the spaceship?" Because Michael Bay. No other reason. ;-)
🤣
"Red or blue ?" (wire for the nuclear bomb), asking the one that have been presented like a nuclear weapon specialist, to the "NASA pilot"... :D
😂Needed to build more tension
Great reaction! 😊
This is my favorite "end of the world" movie.
Such a great cast. And great storyline. Steve Buscemi's character Rockhound, Michael Clarke Duncan's Bear, Bruce Willis' Harry, and Ben Affleck's AJ are my favorites out that group of guys.
No matter how many times I watch this movie, I always have to have tissues on hand from the moment Harry takes AJ down to the asteroid until after Harry talks to Grace that last time.
Fun Fact: Liv Tyer is the daughter of rockband Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler. The group has several songs, including their hit "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing", on the movie soundtrack.
You did miss a few scenes that played during the ending credits. It showed AJ and Grace's wedding with the remaining astronauts attending. And pictures memorializing the fallen astronauts set up at the church. And the last scene showed that Grace was pregnant with hers and AJ's baby.
I very highly recommend the 2015 movie "The Martian".
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
One of my favorite movies of all time
Something similar to Armageddon and Deep Impact, happened in the 70s, Warner and Fox, coincidentally had 2 very similar projects, about 2 scripts for disaster movies, in this case about a 140-story tower, which caught fire on the day it was released. opening, with people inside, both studios seeing what could happen, where perhaps both could lose a lot of money by competing, because they are such similar films, they decided to pool resources. They took the best of both scripts, and produced a single big-budget film that ended up being called The Towering Inferno, as there was extra money, great stars of that time were hired such as Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, William Holden, Fred Astaire and many more. The movie was a great success. It was the first time that 2 large studios like Warner and Fox came together on a project, today that is common, but not decades ago. It was a case where in the end there was no competition, but cooperation to have a better result and that's how it was.
Nasa says asteroid Bennu could hit earth with the force of at least 24 nuclear bombs in 2182... This movie might actually become real in the future.
35:00 😂😂”okay” Right? Everything else was SEMI-realistic, then that craziness- 😂.
You've really become a good editor. I like all the bumps and things you do to accent what you're saying. 👏👏
Nice Heroes 3 reference! Getting that blade in the game is a good time when you go into battle!😂
5:20 "That's gonna take a shitload of Preparation H."
"Um... I said asteroids, not ass rhoids, Mr President."
Will always watch a new reaction to this movie, it’s one of my favourites and always brings tears to my eyes

Man they sure don't make movies like this anymore. Keep up the awesome channel. 🙂
I watched this movie so many times, i actually got to the point that i could quote all the dialogue.
30:15 The film "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" kinda explores that.
I used to go out of my mind counting errors in this movie. I never could keep count.. That NASA thing was hilarious..
Love the thumb nail 🤣
Fun fact Bruce Willis said he hated the film upon watching it. He said it was a well done film but didn’t like how Billy Bob was barely used and he didn’t get along with Micheal Bay the director. Stating to never work with him again. He praised the director for his movies but won’t work with him again. Ben Affleck worked with Bay twice with this film and Pearl Harbor but he also had some critiques about the film questioning the plot. Bens DVD commentary of this film is hilarious.
Très belle réaction, je doutais que ce soit ta première fois que tu vois ce film. Tes réactions montre qui oui Très émouvant. Je ne sais pas si tu parles français ^^ Mais j'aime beaucoup ce que tu fais :)
Si je marque "first time watching", c'est la première fois que je vois le film haha
@@VerowakReacts J'espère, hélas bcp ajoute çà et simulant, mais là je suis convaincu ;) Et j'apprécie d'autant plus. Je me rappelle de ce film quand je l'ai vu à sa sortie au cinéma, bcp d'incohérence technique, mais tellement beau et émotionnel. L'acting de Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck... Du bonbon pour les yeux :)
NASA used to send non-astronauts into space all the time, they are called Payload Specialists.
They did usually have more than 12 days of training, though. You generally want everyone to know how to pilot the ship in case the primary pilot is injured, you want everyone to know 0-G first aid because you can't exactly call an EMT, you want everyone to know how to troubleshoot problems...
And you especially want to make sure none of them are susceptible to SPACE MADNESS, which is a real thing that can happen, and was basically why Rockhound was acting out.
4:55 - FYI, "Armageddon" is not a time or an event, it's a place. Armageddon is an ancient city in Israel. Supposed to be the place of final battle between God and Devil.
The spikes are like those foam egg crate things. ( some ppl used to use them for sleeping) they make the room echo proof.
I drive a truck and hauled some stuff out of a Lockheed Martin aerospace plant that made satellites. There was a room in there like that probably 100 feet long by 70 wide by maybe 70 feet tall. Completely empty scream as loud as you can no reverberation or echo whatsoever.
My sister was in the children's choir that sang "America the Beautiful" for the teaser trailer aired during the Superbowl.
29:33 another happy landing
did you watch the end credits?
I did, yeah
"Why would they have a gun on there?" Michael Bay.
Pretty sure NASA doesn't just pick the lowest bid, and there are a bunch of factors to be met to get a bid. Even the military doesn't do that. They look at how a design fits the needs they want best.
I just know about civil engineering and construction, which is the lowest bidder after X requirements are met
“Why would they have a gun on there” It’s a Michael Bay movie. There’s a gun everywhere.
"Why would they have a gun?"
Remember.... Michael Bay movie. 😅
I clearly need to watch more Michael Bay movies
@@VerowakReacts oh, I didn't say that. 😝
With the exception of Rockhound's space dementia, I think this nailed everything it aimed for. Outlandish action, massive scale, funny moments with broad characters. That kind of Summer crowd pleaser is Michael Bay's forte.
You can practically hear Michael Bay's voice in the early NASA scenes telling the smart people to shut up.
Deep Impact is definitely the better movie but this is one of Bay's best.
I don't feel like movies have to be science nerd accurate to be good. Theatrical releases are never to be taken as learning material for anything other than how to entertain. Which I think Armageddon is over successful in that, and that's all I need from a movie.
It's definitely a movie for entertainment, and that's great. Definitely need some of those
Armageddon and Deep Impact competed in 1998 with a similar story, as well as the movies: Dante's Peak and Volcano in 1997, 1 year earlier, about volcanoes, in the case of the movie Volcano, the volcano devastated the city of Los Angeles and in Dante's Peak, a town. The 90s were a decade where the disaster genre in the cinema resurfaced strong, other classics of that genre: Twister, Apollo 13, Daylight, and Independence Day, many say that the latter movie is science fiction and it is true, but the disaster component is also included and very strong, so I include it within the genre...
Another film that you may like is - "Space Cowboys" a 2000 American adventure drama film directed and produced by Clint Eastwood. It stars Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, and James Garner as four older "ex-test pilots" who are sent into space to repair an old Soviet satellite.
The opening speech was narrated by Charlton Heston…
Some fun facts about the Asteroid that killed the Dinosaurs:
It was about 10 kilometres across.
It was ejected from the asteroid belt because it was dislodged by Jupiter's immense gravitational pull.
By the time it entered Earth's atmosphere it was travelling at 30 kilometres a second.
The impact crater is in Mexico/ the Gulf of Mexico.
The impact generated a fireball so intense that everything within a 1000 kilometres died almost instantly.
The impact threw several thousand tons of sulphur up into the atmosphere.
An estimated 75% of all living species of plant, animal, insect etc. on planet Earth died out during the climate change that followed.
Fortunately, Jupiter's immense gravitational force and tides means that the Earth is extremely unlikely to suffer another disaster of this nature.
Request a Titanic reaction?
6:39 -- Awww, was AJ passionately hugging Harry's not-so-little-girl-anymore? :D
03:07 Verowak: "Oh that is not Bruce Willis"
Me: No, because that would be Die Easy... in Space!
You should count the number of movies Luscious gets bitch slapped in.
I've always felt that Rockhound and Chick could have been astronauts with enough training.
Chick, I agree. Rockhound? I think he could be smart enough to work at NASA
YOu missed one of the best lines at the end. When they had landed on earth and Col Sharp says to Grace, "My name is Colonel Willie Sharp and I am requesting the honor of shaking the hand of the daughter of the brave's man I have ever met."
11:50 Roll out the barrel... 🎶
There really wasn't any need for competition between Armageddon and Deep Impact. They weren't the same kind of film at all, they just shared the common theme of a big thing from space hitting Earth. Deep Impact was a serious drama, and more scientifically accurate, but a fair number of people found it boring and depressing. Armageddon was an action romp with comedy and drama, and (much) less scientifically accurate, but a fair number of people found it silly and unrealistic. So, they were really looking at two different target audiences. There are some people who liked both, but even now there's a pretty vocal disagreement between fans of the two movies.
this is around the time NASA had a probe fail because people had pprogrammed it in mixed metric and imperial units (I believe that was a couple of years later)
I love this movie. Me and my whole family enjoyed watching it in the theaters
That seems like a fun family outing and memory to have!
Thanks, Verowak! ☄ This was a great popcorn movie. I'm glad you mentioned DEEP IMPACT (1998); I hope you'll react to it, as well. DEEP IMPACT gave me an even more intense emotional reaction than ARMAGEDDON. #VerowakReacts #MichaelBay #Armageddon
I want to watch Deep Impact! Very curious to see how it differs from this one
Different tone, apples and oranges really. I think (and hope) you'll love it, as I did. 🙂
The 90s Aerosmith love anthem.
One of those guilty pleasure movies
HAPPY FATHERS DAY😢
We won't discuss the scientific inaccuracies of this movie 😂
Therefore there must be none.. right? 🤣
Oops, I forgot to mention the narrator at the beginning of the film is Charlton Heston.
I know that name, and that's about it lol
@@VerowakReacts A few I can think of: The original "Planet of the Apes" (1968), "The Ten Commandments" (1956), and "Ben-Hur (1959).🙂
@@mikebrown7799 Movies before the 90s are mostly unknown to me lol
Why are you cloned twice on the people on the background in the thumb? 😂
The real question is... Why not? It's my way if having fun 😂
Do you think it’s a good movie or a bad movie
the dark half i forgot about that booki lol
It's a great book :)
Of all the things to roll your eyes at in this movie, it's the precussive maintenance (hitting the problem with something) that gets it? I'll have you know that precussive maintenance has been used in space by NASA on numerous occasions. In one case a bolt had been cold-welded and the astronaut had to stick a big bar on the end of a wrench and smack it with a hammer to get it loose. Mars rovers have been known to be ordered to smack themselves on purpose on occasion, usually to dislodge something from a scientific instrument. The cosmonaut hitting something with a hammer is probably the _most_ realistic thing in this movie.
We all have our own reasons for disliking some things
@@VerowakReacts Didn't mean to sound like I was criticising, sorry, I just found it amusing.
@@StarkRG It's my bad, I'm used to having a lot of negative comments, so it's unfortunately how I read the tone. Good to know you found it amusing and that you're not irrationally upset that I rolled my eyes at that scene lol
A nuke going off in space, would be a problem. NASA has a whole document about it, because of this movie. It's a fun read for nerds like me. lol
It definitely is NOT what happens in this movie 🤣
The part near the end where pounding on the display frame with the wrench?
Pretty accurate actually.
Russia makes things tough as hell and able to take abuse- but a little loose wire or corrosion inside can happen... and be smacked back into working by his method.

The main difference between Deep Impact and Armageddon is that New York movie studios always destroy California and Hollywood studios always destroy New York. lol
They also completely destroyed Paris though in this one 😂
@@VerowakReacts LOL... Seriously though, you'd really like Deep Impact. It's a better and more believable movie in my opinion.
@@mckrackin5324 I want to watch it, especially to see the differences between the two lol
The red head mother was the April O'Neil from the first live action 80s/90s Ninja turtles movie
That's awesome! I've never seen the movie but I've seen the animated series
