What's more impressive is that whoever designed those rockets on the movie set made them in such a way that they wouldn't fly, but also not hurt anyone.
"Four unidentifiable, highschool students lost their lives, early this morning, when their toy rocket exploded." One of my favorite lines in the entire movie. Makes me laugh every time 😂.
At the beginning, the engineer commanding the train is O. Winston Link, a photographer famous for capturing the N&W final days of steam operation from 1955-1960.
Same here. For me it was the summer between 7th and 8th grade. And rest in peace Bob Veith. “Pay it forward. Always.” was his motto. I try to remember that.
Ah yes. The Mythbusters also had a saying; _"Failure _*_is_*_ an option."_ Because you can learn something from them. Mainly, what went wrong and solve the cause of it.
This is one of my most favorite movies of all time! I love the characters (and cast members), cinematography, story, and soundtrack (both the music score and the awesome 50's songs)! It was also the first film that made me fall in love with Jake Gyllenhaal as an actor! Unlike most people, I never watched it in a science class, but actually watched it on my own terms over and over again!
SAE 10-20 bar stock... I will never forget that scene. I'll be 90 years, rolling around the nursing home in a wheel chair, telling random strangers "Thats SAE 10-20 bar stock," and humming "Ain't that a shame" under my breath.

Oh, too bad this stopped before the next scene, where they come staggering out of a moonshiner's shack, with a voice in the background: "Now that's what I call Rocket Fuel!"
This scene is hilarious! Sometimes they play this song at the swing dance club, and I can't help but laugh thinking about these scenes of rockets blowing up. Must have been fun filming this, a fun technical challenge - I assume all practical effects. Also, 0:17 you call yourself a rocket scientist? The gas reaches the speed of sound at the throat of the nozzle, not the mouth!
1:47 "ha yeah! we've got one!" *explotion* goodness! we watched this in my rocketry class, and we exploded laughing with this, with most of the movie as a matter of fact...we're such dorks, us and our high powered rockets xD
“Four unidentifiable high school students lost their lives, earlier this morning when their toy rocket exploded.” O’Dell says it with such irony that it’s honestly hilarious
It's bad I got this track playing in my head and forgot what movie I had remembered hearing it in with a montages sequence of failures back to back. I forgot the name of this movie, but this part I guess stuck with me many years later after seeing the movie.
For how smart they are, it shouldn't take them that long to figure out how to stop the explosions. When I did my rockets from scratch with little knowledge, I added road flare to the gunpowder to slow the reaction. It worked just fine, but I wrapped my propellant tight with paper. I also added a little paraffin sometimes to absorb excess heat and expansion as well as slow burn rates too.
Jarvis Pena No you’re wrong, the steel and mining company went bankrupt I think and had to sell all of their houses and businesses. However, there are people still living there. The population went from around 2000 to 900 I think.
Most of the things in the movie didn't even happen in the book. The book actually gave me more feelings then the movie. Especially Homer's relationship with his dad.
@@pulsarsbeam6411 i just read the part where his dad talks about entropy being the hardest thing he ever learned. The man was much more complicated than he appeared in the movie.
I find it interesting how Jake Gyllenhaal used the same Southern accent in "Brokeback Mountain" as he did in this film! Both of which are my top favorite Jake Gyllenhaal films!
It's actually the Tennessee Valley Railroad with Southern 4501 disguised as a N&W locomotive and a few coal hoppers painted up in the old N&W livery, but still a great scene.
20 years ago, and still a great movie. Crazy how fast time flies...
It doesn't. We just die way too fast.

They put in deliberate air pockets, which act as mini combustion chambers
@@arkay238 or threw some explosives in them that are literally warheads lol.
Oh, don't worry. Pyrotechnics experts and engineers tend to get some good experience blowing stuff up in their younger years.
It was the person who done the challenger that blew up 😂😂

The song fits the scene perfectly. And this is how NASA went on its first legs getting a man into space, and to the moon.
Everyone knows we never went to the moon silly

@@viczilla24dreamer51 I like how they dive behind cover but it blows up behind them anyway 🤣
I think the soundtrack is one of the great things about this movie
Sometimes my swing dance club plays this song, and I can't help laughing hysterically as I think of this scene and all the explosions.
my favorite part of the movie
Grown up in the city, this is the greatest movie I ever saw.

This was the 50s they couldn’t just google it.
They lived in a small mining town in West Virginia in the 50s. They'd be lucky to even know how to spell "Science"

It must have been fun for the props department to make purposefully “broken” rockets to explode.

Quinton also had jet black hair. The movie really goofed it up.
Ha, we watched this (our science class) after building our own rockets and setting them off.
The irony is that a group of young boys would get kicks out of blowing stuff up.
I actually live where this movie was filmed.
Rusty Ralston that's not possible, coalwood was bought and the town was shut down after
Maybe he meant somewhere in the area. Also, not all scenes were in Coalwood.

If you've read the book, you'll understand that this movie could have been infinitely better if Hollywood had just stuck with the book.
