"Now, I want you to cut me down because I don't understand how cams work and this will help NOTHING. You're still stuck."
This had me in stitches. Iconic 😄
Have you figured out how to self rescue now that I'm dead?
Can you self rescue now that I'm dead lmao
That was a masterpiece. Remember everyone, exploding bolts tend to fail.
Well they were custom made by Satan using cursed material from melted 911 beams and the Hindenberg, I'm not sure what they expected.
When you order the bolts that NASA use on their rockets, without knowing they are made to explode.
@@youkofoxy I just thought "Explosive Bolt" was a brand name!
Exploding bolts are the new no trace standard. When you are done with the route you blow off the bolts…obviously.
@@scottmccullough8030 Now that's some clean climbing!
Remember, when developing a new route avoid using bolts made out of tnt
Underrated comment.
Oooooh; bomb _proof_
Use the C4 ones instead. Got it.
@@JMCodd1 Are you joking? Obviously you want the bolts that are comprised of RDX.
Was this the movie where they were carrying the nitro up the mountain and the sunlight exploded it?
This is hilarious guys hahaha
- Let's do a climbing scene
- Should we hire some climbers to give us advice?
- Nah, no one will notice
I'm pretty sure Ed Viesturs and Barry Blanchard worked this movie....🥴
@@WOT1964someone should make them watch it
Pro climbing advice: always be the one with the knife 🔪
Ok that’s funny
This is just pro advice for anything
So you can cut yourself off the end?
C'mon, at least credit the "Vertical Limit Guide to Climbing" TH-cam video that joke's from
Also, don't forget to pack your nitroglycerin in flimsy containers
"... we're not seeing the dad's pumpkin seeds." OMG, that had me rolling!
Should see them when he hits the deck at over 120 mph terminal velocity.
@@dave_h_8742 You need 1,500 feet to reach terminal. he didn't have that.
Cliffhanger: "I'm the worst climbing movie ever made!"
Vertical Limit: "Hold my beer ..."
Schnapps for the Alps, Ouzo for mount Olympus. To keep the chill away of course
Every detail of this is just weird. Even the way the dad is tied in with a carabiner. And I just imagine the artistic director standing there saying things like "now let's make the end of the rope extra fluffy, like no rope ever was"
My thought was they grabbed whatever junk rope was on the grip truck so they could cut it. Looks much more like hardware store rope than climbing cord.
This hownot2 video is a masterpiece.
Sometimes I rewatch just for this scene.
Edit: "Have you figured out how to self rescue now that I'm DEAD?"
"have you figured out how to self rescue now that I'm dead?!?"
I love that “amateurs” able to lead climb most of that face, but then we’re so clueless, they started wiggling around, for no apparent reason, on the end of that rope with 5 people on it 😂
I saw this in the theater when it came out and laughed out loud so hard that people around me got upset.
This needs a series, holy hell was this funny! Sent this to all my non climbing friends.
And You gotta tell them this movie is 100% accurate
I remember watching this movie with friends on our club college.
It's fun and hillarious. We all laughing our ass off at the absurdity on many of those scenes.
The K2 climbing and rescue is even more hillarious.
Thats just another level 😂
@@dave_h_8742 Yeah.... It's so bad that it "became good", lmao!
We even go to the theater together to laugh at the movie (at the annoyance of other moviegoers) 😂
What stick me the most is the scene when someone "running and jumping through crevasse", at death zone, full gear, without mask.
WTF does that? Not even Reinhold Messner could pull that off. 😂
Let’s use bombs to rescue people from a crevasse!
We need more of this, there are so many movies with amazing ropework. As a longtime movie buff and somewhat new climber I love watching how climbing makes no sense in movies 99% of the time.
Cool, now climbers know what its like to watch a Fast and the Furious movie as a car guy.
Right!?
I saw this in Ouray Co during the Ice climbing festival. So the theater was full of climbers including Ed Viesturs. People were yelling at the screen through out most of the film.
lol
I had never more than gym climbed and I was mocking it. Can't imagine with a theator full of climbers.
This was awesome! Please do 'Fall' (2022) by Scott Mann next. It is almost an exact copy!
Fall (2022): a dark comedy set in a dystopian future where severe gear shortages force people to simul-climb with 20 feet of rope, 3 cams in total and no belay devices. Hilarity (and a few deaths) ensues.
Are we also talking about the fact that he's carrying a Buck 110 ? It is a 0,5 pound knife. Every respectable climbers carry such light knive while doing a big wall... Obviously...
I thought about making fun of that but I actually had to borrow a knife while climbing the other day and the guy was carrying that same Buck knife.
No WAY!!!!! Lol
Better then carrying the classic HUGE bowie knife, that is so masculine. haha
Best video to date!! That was pure gold!!
😂Brilliant video ... please do more of these!🤣
You need at least a part 2 to the vertical limit critique. Lots of fun to be had once they hit the high ice.
Right??…. Like dynamic cam placements???
Truly the comedy gift that keeps on giving! This film does to climbing what "Point Break" did to surfing.😂
And again: great work guys!
This made me chuckle pretty hard thank you.
I have been waiting for something like this. This movie was written by aliens who read an article about climbing. Lol
I've taken a lot of courses in my life - scuba, skydiving, climbing, cold-weather survival, etc, etc. I've had a lot of fun, but it has ruined a lot of movies for me. Seeing a freefall movie where two jumpers are talking to each other at terminal velocity (just screaming at each other, no radios) is always a mood killer.
This is what I appreciate about the Mission: Impossible films
I'm a firearms enthusiast, a car guy, and I hold three engineering degrees. Pretty much any action movie has me rolling my eyes at some point.
Guys that was awesome! Even more so because I learned everything I know about big wall climbing from that movie! 😆👍🏼👍🏼
I'd love for y'all to do a more in depth follow up to this. "What X gets wrong" videos are a great way to learn, especially as someone who isn't as well versed as y'all are. One good way I've seen to do this is to go through what they did, and explain how AND WHY it's wrong, and what it should have been.
I simply love this vid, I can go back to it again and again.
I was hoping you would get around to reviewing and testing this movie. That scene runs through my head a lot.
Great video!
Thank yall it's fantastic work
More, please. This is hilarious.
As an IT and cyber security professional, this is how I feel about how computers and/or "hacking" are handled in almost every movie or TV show. Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Sooo…in the 90s did you all really wear fishnets and leather?
Lol
Did any movies get it right?
Were any realistic?
The Eiger Sanction is one of the more realistic climbing movies.
@@sendthis9480 You'd be surprised how much fishnets and leather help when doing cyber attacks.
Probably the most accurate depiction is the series, Mr. Robot.
For when it was made, Wargames (especially the first half), was surprisingly spot on. Automated dialing scripts for finding modems, exploiting bad password security, educated password guesses over a period of time, bad corporate security at multiple levels, etc. Great use of the CP/M operating system to create many of the screens for the movie.
"Takedown" is fairly accurate, though you should read Mitnick's book for balance.
Live Free or Die Hard is over the top and out of order (you can't disable major networks, then use those networks for continued attacks), but I give it a bit of a pass because it is fun and illustrates worst cast scenarios for several different attacks, exploits, and scenarios.
This is the video we have needed 🙏🏼😂
Do Cliffhanger next... PLEASE! This was a great vid, thank you.
My dad and I watched this early one morning before he went to work and I was completely dumbfounded why people would ever rock climb.
the breakdancing was 100% something we mocked as something you totally do when panicked and in mortal danger. I've never forgotten this movie for that morning, thanks for bringing it up.
best video yet guys I recommend yall throw a decent amount of the creative dept and RandD towards movie depicted gear failure reenactments it might actually be the real reason for the drop tower and it wasn't understood till today lol that was pure gold guys...
I always watch these, but rarely do I lol, the breakdance test gave me a giggle.
Next review cliffhanger
Nice video!
Thanks for the chuckle
Love the breakdown
The whistle is obviously because Dad is a lifeguard and thought he was at the pool.
Is your LAB ready on testing some of those Nitroglycerin scenes? Freeing frozen bodys out the ice of the glacier? ... Epic work, guys! I had a good laugh!
I know that for many people, this movie is a disaster, but when I saw it back in cinemas when I was 5 years old, it blew my mind. Thanks to this movie I developed an interest in mountaineering and in photography, activities that I do every now and then. Still to this day I see that movie and have lot's of fun watching it. Is not a guilty pleasure, I genuinely enjoy this film. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but still entertains me.
loved this
Cliffhanger next? Love it!
😆
I could watch you two pick apart ANY movie.
Thank you for doing this. Figured there is no way it’s that easy to have bolts/anchors fail like that
had to work on this one .... too many tears of hysteria ... f'n hilarious 😂
that breakdance experiment was amazing
U guy's are brilliant 😂❤
This was SO good. Can you do K2 next? Or cliffhanger?
Test ALL the climbing scenes in all the movies!!!!!!!!! Hahahahah... seriously fun to watch, thank you.
Thanks for your sharing
"every bolts in this movie seems to be made out of toothpicks" rolf!!! best quote
The unintended “Ding!” during the pumpkin test made it even better 3:42
Absolute GOLD! So freaking funny
great video
The acting in this was better than the entire movie
Breakdancing! That's what they were doing (I've always wondered ). Thanks guys, that is hilarious!
masterpiece for sure
This was a great little watch and I’m not even a climber. “Have you figured out how to self rescue now that I’m dead?” Lol
Looking forward to your review of "Fall" 😆
Please make a deep dive series on this film. I would like to see more analysis of the jump to the waterfall ice with ice climbing gear.
This is pure gold! Now do cliff hanger! 😄
Oh Gawd YES such a good film 😂 not.
@@dave_h_8742 I was named after Slys character in that movie lmfao, its not THAT bad.
@@scumbaag I think you may need to start wearing a helmet. It's entertaining I will give you that.
At least they had a really good climber in the team. (W. gulich)
Saw it as a kid, knew nothing about climbing, but that bolt gun made me think climbing was the coolest thing ever and I wanted to start rock climbing… alas, didn’t start climbing till my early twenties because:
A) grew up in the prairie’s
B) this was prior to internets and had no clue a climbing gym in my city existed.
Was disappointed when I found out that bolt gun wasn’t real :/
Oh, i needed more of that…
Beautiful scenes, through.
When first saw this movie i was living in the virgin islands. I guess movie theatres are supposed to crop the picture, but they didn’t because the boom microphone kept coming into the shot during various scenes. The first time it happened you could feel the pause in the theatre as everyone was like, “wtf?” When we all realized what was happening it made the movie that much worse.
Heh, not a theater issue. There are at least 3 boom mic bloopers in the movie.
I really enjoyed that.
love your vids, i have a question, have you ever tested a old (beylond manufacturers lifespan) but unuseed rope, like one that sat on the shelf in a shops back room for a decade? im sure alot of people have rpes in the attics that are good but old. i would be really interested.
classic "so you don't have to" job, thanks
I love the last line, have you figured out how to self rescue now that I'm dead!
Breakdown videos of moves like this are just amusing and just that "Its JUST A MOVE" !
I think the correct term isn't "amateur", but "gumby".
i love that movie! also, the scene where he jumps across 40’ chasm and sticks a perfect 10 with 2 old school ice tools
Awsome!
What a great video 😂😂😂
fun stuff
that's a great shot though; with the camera pulling in on Chris O'Donnell's face while he's breathing
the pull in gives the audience a sense of a critical moment of time slowing down, which indirectly makes the audience understand that time is actually speeding up for the character
Where is the “love” when you need it. One thumb up just doesn’t seem enough. So good.
ahaha that was a nice one)) Keep it up guys, there are move movies like this))
That was fun
Great work, lads!! Can you now puh-leeze! deconstruct the intricate climbing techniques used in The Fall. I've been climbing for years and still haven't mastered pulling up a second with bare hands and lots of grunting. What am I doing wrong !?
You need to go back a few years and be my wife. OEG, who was a very good climber (may he Rest In Peace), helped her on the hard moves on Insubong (Seoul, Korea) with his patented OEG elevator. The technique is similar to bringing up a haul bag on a big wall.
I remember my rock climbing instructor mentioning this movie while rolling his eyes. It's as if his whole appearance shows how he relates to this scene 😂
Masterpiece
"Have you figured out how to self-rescue now that I'm dead?!?" 🤣🤣
3:50 "Heeh, it worked" A very elated and masculine exclamation.
If you've ever seen a person hit the ground from a large height, you'd know they actually bounce back up instead of just stopping.
Not a rock climber, never climbed anything (other than trees when I was something like 12 years old), and I still remember watching this movie thinking "this doesn't make sense - what's their equipment made out of? That's not how physics work! Why are you doing dumb stuff? Stop doing dumb stuff!"
Brilliant! Would love to see your analysis of the movie "Fall" (2022), it's a masterpiece
Went to the movies once with some friends to chill after a couple days of partying and this was the P.O.S. we went to. I'm no climber, but after the first 5 minutes I'd had enough. Called what the end of the movie would be to one friend (she wasn't happy about that) and then mercifully was able to fall asleep. She woke me up at the end and just shook her head when I was right.
As a climber this scene just dives into my worst fears like what if my bolts are made out of tnt? What is my rock is made out of styrofoam? Really tho, it made me educste myself on gear safety but even knowing that i still get uneasy watching the scene
Please do more of these. Even do some old movies like Third Man on the Mountain or The Mountain with Spencer Tracy.
"Amateurs at 12 O'clock!!!"
Best line in a movie ever to set the stage for how bad and ridiculous a movie was going to be.
Great movie and great video! Do the rest of the movie! This movie definitely gave me gear fear...
