- The Soldier(1998): The Contest(Scene 5)
"In a futuristic society, some people are selected at birth to become soldiers, and trained in such a manner that they become inhuman killing machines. One of the most succesfull and older of these soldiers (Russell) is pitted against a new breed of soldiers, and after the confrontation is believed to be dead. His body is left behind in a semi-abandoned colonial planet, where everything is peaceful, and he is taught about the other aspects of life. But eventually he has to fight the new breed of soldiers again, this time to defend his new home..."

During filming, this running sequence was Kurt’s final scene, once done, he went straight to In N Out!
I was average student like Kurt russel in these movie waiting for dope for einstien brain from us hospital for success
Yeah he had broken or sprained his ankle during filming, so they did this scene last, IIRC
Jason Scott Lee coming out of the smoke behind Kurt always gives me chills. Such a great scene.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ so bad ass
Agreed. Mogli sure makes a fine soldier.
@@solosniper86 no way man
Todd has been trained how to pace himself throughout his life as a soldier, Caine was bred to give 100% and not stop, the ability to keep going even when you're tired is much more impressive than getting perfect results everytime.
It's like how a marathon runner conserves his energy for the long haul. Sure you can go 100% for a short while, but you'll tire yourself out quickly. Running at a good pace then using the stored-up energy in short bursts when needed is much more effective.
@Lee being able to keep going all day after the guy with the perfect result has long since collapsed from exhaustion still wins out in the end, perfect results are worthless if they come at the expense of being able to keep fighting indefinitely.
@Lee in battle, the soldier who breaks first always loses.
@@rhino2960 There are far stronger real life people than this super soldier. Back then i thought that climbing rope without legs is not doable. A pure fiction. But there are people which climb faster on rope. Precision beats power. Timing. Super soldier legs are hanging and use both hands. Marcus Mondi climbs with legs upright. 60 meters. Its a skill. Not something incredible. Timing and skill beats anything.
@@LORDVADER357 agreed precision beats power, but precision which is obtained as a result of expending excess power, is self defeating in a fight that lasts a long time, the new boy is running at full tilt all the time, he may be obtaining precise results, but he's burning the candle at both ends, when he exhausts himself, todd will still be ready to fight at 100%
The candle that burns twice as bright will always last half as long, while the slow burn candle with the smaller flame, will last all night.
What i really love about this scene is how Todd was just 100% focused on killing Caine and had no doubt that the order would come. Caine otoh looked unsure and seemed confused about what was about to happen. When 2 more of the old soldiers got sent up, Todd immediately went into attack/surround position. It's a call back to the 3 dogs tearing at the one wild pig scene from the training/growing up montage. A nice touch.
You really love this, do you not?
Yes, they should have focused on the brain as much as the brawn.
Thats so true, it works with the greatest advantage Todd have over all... his experience
I don't think Caine was confused.
@@carlost856 The rookies were simply inexperienced. It was the arrogance of the Colonel thinking they were ready to outright replace the veterans that was their undoing. He should have integrated them with the veterans. We see it later in the movie where he relished the opportunity for them to receive combat experience against untrained civilians when he should have allowed them to be led by Todd's unit.
back when movies didn't need to rely on CGI....
YES.
There's plenty of VFX in this movie, and yes, the movie relies A LOT on them to create its world.
@@julesf.meloborges811 That's true.
Before marvel and Disney put their greasy paws on the film industry
There were just as many bad movies back then as there are now.
Kurt Russell was in some seriously good shape for this film. He wasn't no 18 years old.
Yep
He was 47 years old in this movie
Three hours training a day for 18 months.
Kurt said that Goldie liked him this way. 😉
Any movie with Gary Busey in it is a movie with Gary Busey in it.
Lethal Weapon, Under Siege, Point Break as well.
@Happily Ham you got that right!
Gary Busey was a great actor he definitely underrated.
Profound!
15 miles in one hour
That's..a 4min mile...dear god
Yes
After one 4 minute mile the best sprinter in the world would be tired. 15 miles in one hour is 15 CONSISTENT four minute miles, without any increase or decrease in speed. That's just to put it into the proper context. And Captain Church did inquire about endurance in Mekum's new genetically engineered soldiers. Caine 607 accomplished a 15-mile run in exactly ONE HOUR, without breaking a sweat. And he STILL had the endurance and the stamina to fight three of the previous generation soldiers, selected at birth and trained from infancy, with explosive action and speed, killing two and stunning Sergeant Todd 3467.
The whole point of that display was to demonstrate how far beyond the capabilities of Todd's generation of soldiers Caine's batch were, to a point where they almost seemed superhuman, which they accomplished with frightening efficiency.
Bs dude the soilder wearing black are on steroids or something , They get injected with something...
@@laloportillo1758 if you listen to the dialog they say Caine & the rest of his batch were Genetically engineered.
@@laloportillo1758 they all were, the second geb was just better developed.
Love this movie when it came out as a kid. Still love it!
Same.
I like this movie too it is childhood memories for me.
One thing I remember is how Caine looked confused, almost like "aren't we on the same side?". Todd looked resentful at Caine, as if he already knew that Todd would be dismissed and cease to exist if Caine proved superior.
To give serious credit to Kurt Russell, he'd badly hurt both of his ankles during shooting, requiring them to structure his shootings based on what he'd be doing. Lying and sitting scenes were shot first, followed by standing and walking, and then fighting and running. In other words, he's running on two badly beat up ankles here, and he's barely showing it.
Or it was a stuntman?
@@ChristianProtossDragoon Nope, Kurt did almost all of his stunts (the only one he needed help with was the chain fight for distance shots for insurance reasons).
@@Tracer_Krieg Never knew that! Wow. Thanks for telling me. So he is the american Jackie Chan in a way. 😂
@@ChristianProtossDragoon Oh yeah.
@@Tracer_Krieg xD
Imagine the endurance one would have to have to run 4 minute miles for 15 miles! And to do that in combat boots and pants!
Yes.
Most combat boots are very comfortable but very heavy when compared to a running shoe.
Then speed up a chain. And then defeat three trained soldiers. Two of whom didn't just get done running.
Ridiculous, they're soldiers, musclemen. They should have have ankle weights strapped around their boots too. but I agree the pants limit their movement. They should remove them and only wear thongs instead.
@@mikealvarez8250the best soles you could get on combat boots back then were sand soles. while they were way more comfortable than the factory rubber soles they were nowhere near as comfortable as modern boots from 2005 to now
"Is your soldier tired" ummmm Gary the dude just ran 15 miles in an hour and has hardly broken a sweat meanwhile Todd looks like he just got out of a pool and is visibly breathing heavy.....
That's why Todd needs A LOT more training.. He's weak.
This is a badass movie
I was 10 years old when I saw that awesome movie in theaters with my dad back in 1998, those new Super soldiers take steroids 💉💊🏋🏼♂️💪🏻 the old ones are Natural.
Yes
Reverse Fuhrer Yes
Wish it got a sequel.
Reverse Fuhrer Yeah me too the movie was awesome they play this movie a lot on HBO
Good
Every man or woman should watch this before entering the Military!💪
😂😂😂😂
"Woman? Not a fair contest, send two more of them up there!"
Why? Wouldn't it make sense for people to watch Full Metal Jacket, Jarhead, and Generation Kill?
Why is everyone not talking about how bad ass Jason Scott Lee looked in this movie lol
Or sprinting in those clunky ass boots. You KNOW his knees and back had to be sore for a week
Dam, I love this movie. It was one of the greats from my high-school days.
Yeah
3:24 My DI at Parris Island back in the 90s went up the rope climb on the O-course just like this, it was unreal.
I love how Todd stares into Caine's soul right before the other two soldiers joined them up the chain. Intense. I miss this movie. We lack original well-made films these days.
1998...its a Movie of fantasy that can make Goosebump's...
2018...its just a movie , u can't make it reality...
Thank God i saw it in 1998...👌
Thank God it still gets views even after decades. Lol
@@ChristianProtossDragoon , why not..its an amazing Movie..Golden age of Hollywood action movie, terminator,universal soldier,broken arrow,rambo so so many...me and my friends just blown away by the wave.
@@neone4759 yup. It's sad, though. They should have made a The Soldier sequel while he was still young! But I might write one. xD
@@ChristianProtossDragoon actually they still can make a sequel, show the story when Todd lives with his new family, that boy grown up... and then baammm, some shit happened and Todd have to pull out his skills again, but he kind of struggle because he is 69 years old dude xD
@@WhattheFoXPlay or maybe focusing on his adopted son.
Childhood memories this movie is for me.
Yeah.
99% he kept one bullet to chew on lol.
xD
Nah, that's a prototype Pulse Rifle, they hold 99 rounds going off the Aliens lore.
this like the 90s "on your left"
The thing is with this movie, we are meant to root for Todd since he is the good guy etc. and i don't really remember the 'lore' but these are all soldiers in some kind of dystopian society.. if we've already made the decision that breeding super soldiers from children is the way we want to do it, surely this new guy is actually far superior by all measures..
Yes.
Physical superiority doesn't stop a bullet to the head. They bleed as easily as any ordinary human, as Todd demonstrates at the end of the movie when he singlehandedly destroyed them all due to his decades of combat experience. It's a story of war as old as war itself.
There is a theory that this movie exists in the same universe as “Blade Runner” and “Alien”
And that Caine here is like Roy Batty (Rutgar Hauers character) from Blade Runner. They’re both replicants. Artificially created person to do the hard jobs
@@joshuasantana685 Caine maybe, but unlikely to be Todd, his lifespan is much longer and more human.
@roguerover7598 Todd, human trained and indoctrinated from birth. Caine, a human test tube baby, modified to enhance qualities. This includes being juiced to the gills.
Story takes place in Blade Runner universe. Replicants may or may not have been made yet.
What really comes down is the experience.
If it were me instead of outright replacing the Vets I’d take some of them and make them NCOs of the super soldiers because they have far more actual combat experience and have the rest be a heavy weapons platoon.
Exactly, I think in the WH40k universe that seems to be a thing.
Agreed, but they should all specialise in heavy weapons, thats what their muscles are for. Also the NCOs should be deployed along with the new recruits if needed.
one of the best action movies ever 🔥
One of Kurt Russel's lesser known roles, but he nailed it in this film. He portrayed the role of a stoic, hardened soldier. Socially awkward due to his lifetime of training and war, and his facial profile is even fitting for that role.
Yes.
Man Jason Scott lee has body of a cannon he trained and he pushed to the limit to be a super solider.
Yup.
Tf is a body of a cannon?
@@brettmcclure241 pew pew
@@brettmcclure241 Boom boom.
Look at those space marine wannabe.
Trying to replace hard earned Catachan.
Hell of a contrast from Natural Births to Genetically Engineered Soldiers from birth. Sure. You can augment their genetics. But ultimately? Experience wins out most of the time. Then of course there's always an exception. Don't believe me? Watch the movie.😆
Yes.
I always took it as yes Todd has experience but also the old soldiers were taught to be smart. New soldiers were just taught to be skilled. It’s like at the very beginning when it showed them as kids, they were in a classroom putting a puzzle together before they focused on running, fighting and marksmanship
Americas military should start using genetic engineered Troops in a new branch of service
No thank you.
You want to use a science fiction movie as proof for your opinion?
2022 and all of this are obsolete!
?...
One of Gary Busey last great roles
Are we going to talk about the Silver Orb Genocide of 2036?
It was a rounded reflected disaster
Humans have run a mile in under 4 minutes (Sir Roger Bannister was the first recorded case), but to keep a sustained pace of that speed for a whole hour is unheard of, but probably not out of reach in the future. The world record for a marathon (26.2 miles) is 2:01:39, which averages out to 4:39 per mile.
Of course, Caine is a specially-bred super-soldier, and even if Todd completed the 15-mile run in, say, 85 minutes (an educated guess, which would put him finishing 5 minutes after Caine), it puts his mile pace at 5:40, which would suggest a time of under 2:30:00 for a marathon. That is still pretty impressive even for a soldier.
The marathon is finally sub-2 hours now thanks to Eliud Kipchoge’s insane record-breaking exhibition run. But like you said: a soldier with that much muscle mass running long distance at that pace while staying functional afterwards is awesome.
Put into perspective that soldiers aren't even specifically trained for such long distance sustained running, but instead cross trained for multiple physical aspects namely fighting and carrying heavy loads while moving, and Todd's run is even more impressive.
Other factors are that Todd was taught to run at that specific pace so he wouldnt be tired after and at the time he would be almost 40
I just realized that Mekum is the same guy who played Cpt Steele in Black Hawk Down
:)
Nice clip Dark Web, I loved this movie as a kid!
Make sure to watch all!!!
👁️👁️⚖️✝️🩸👑🕯️🍞💧😡🌡️🌪️🌋👀👂🙏⏳, Excellent editing, sound to low, even with headphones, welcome to Children's gaming 2023
Ouch. 2 extra guys.
Great Movie
precision 99%, endurance 100%, power 100%, Aggression 100%, experience 0%, (give them some wars for challenge and they will outmatch the ,,old serie,,)
The point of this was to show that without experience, you are zero.
@@ChristianProtossDragoon I think 0 is a bit harsh, but yeah, I trust experience and seasoned pros over inexperienced but highly trained newcomers.
Experience builds intelligence, problem solving, creativity and innovation. You need the old to lay the path for the new and teach them.
Imagine Todd training Kane in battle, side-by-side.
@@TheAmateurEditor I wish The Soldier got a sequel.
@@ChristianProtossDragoon Audiences are to blame in part. We complain about Hollywood churning out the same tired old ideas time and time again, be it in remakes, reboots or sequels, but when a great film like this with brilliant acting and engaging characters that have arcs are delivered, we are nowhere to be found when buying tickets and supporting the concept.
Look at Dredd with Karl Urban. God-damn was that the best action film of the last decade but no one bothered to see it.
This film was also part of the Blade Runner universe, just thinking of the potential for story-lines is enough to get me pumped. Imagine if young, creative writers came up with expansive concepts and seasoned writers helped shape the narrative and characters... Such a damn shame and colossal waste.
@@TheAmateurEditor Ikr??? Btw is your name John Smith a reference to that Man In High Castle tv show?
I’d love to know the backstory behind this universe, like what happened where the ‘American Forces’ are in both English AND Spanish, assuming the United States suffered some type of military coup then expanded South into Central and maybe South America?
This movie had been made at the wrong time.
ТОДД БЫЛ ЛУЧШИМ!!
😎 accuracy bisag matic.
Bisag?
Basically it’s young and bald versus old and not bald
This movie was awesome
Up the chain !
I would have ordered them to strip to their thongs first.
God: "Ladies and gentlemen i present to you.... the Asian."
Do they eat regular food??
@@ElCholoDeJolo define regular food when it comes to the asian
Actually the Sumerians were disappointed with creating the asian as he did not display rounded attributes of his more successful engineered "brother." The asian actually displayed irregular emotional traits causing him to kill his competition rather than view him as a brother. Its in the tablets, serious.
I hate to say it, but natural athletes could never preform as good as enhanced one's. It's also proven athletes that take the CORRECT p.e.d's have a longer shelf life then one's that don't.
I doubt that, can you cite the sources that claim longer life expectancy with ped usage?
Sure I can, body builders like arnold schwarzenegger are still around and in good health. Floyd Mayweather is on ped's and he is still the best in the business.
@@jasonaxiak6316 for every Floyd Maywether, there’s a Lyle Alzado.
That's far more genetics than anything else. Not everyone has the natural ability to do what they do. Supplement's don't make the athletes great, they just help the process along and they can't make someone who wasn't capable of being at peak performance that way either.
@@jasonaxiak6316 dude had 4 heart surgeries
Would have been awesome if Cain said "on your left" when he passed Todd.
lol
@@ChristianProtossDragoon That would have been more better if the guy who played Todd as a kid was involved. He kinda grew up to be US Agent. :)
Kurt rusell 👍👍👍
1:15 a 15 mile run, no shit a young buck is gonna outrun an older soldier, have them both repeat the route until they can't run anymore, todd will outlast cain, experience teaches pacing.
Keep in mind he was ordered to start much later than the older soldier.
This film shows even if your at Peak performance the Bald.soldiers...none of them had Actual War experience which is why Todd using Guerilla style tactics.....was able to take them all down in the end
😎 comply gani ku na egu sum dios paku.
No
Still though, for a society that invests so much money and time into training these soldiers, killing or dumping them is a huge waste of resources, speaking as a veteran I can say that the military wont waste ANYTHING other than a budget, those dudes would be re-assigned to cleaning latrines or driving trucks...
That's General Bori Khan from the live action Mulan. Hehe
"On your left."
15 miles in.... minutes impossible!!
Speed Force.
@@ChristianProtossDragoon u just dont do a full stop after a race!
It's a movie. lol
@odinmage thank you for the information. It was indeed interesting. 😄
60 minutes at a 4 minute mile, he left 20 minutes after so even quicker than that
Cadbury clever gal
Whats up with spot light ??
For 15miles I need a better part od day and still hope to finish it before dark. Forget the chain!
You better buck up on your training, SOLDIER!
I'm 39 and this movie gets better as a get older. And why didn't WB sue Bungie for this?
Yay! Captain Lorca!
Yeah.
These guys have nothing on Forrest Gump
Are genetically enhanced humans better then synthetic replicants ?
Maybe... Idk.
Implying that this takes place in the blade runner universe, which I still consider that it does.
God's army is the army of God
😎 yeah 607.
What about run through explosions?!
😁
Never say 'no' if you stepped this road.
IT DOESN'T WORK. 😁
Nuclear?! 😁😁😁😁😁
Couldn't find anyone to play the character of cain and todd other than jason scott lee and kurt russell
They made them fast but not SMART! Todd was very smart and experienced, you see a soldier with an IQ of just 10 points higher will always perform better, so these guys were cooking up all muscle brutes in the lab but forgot the brain, maybe they didn't wanted them too smart or they would be taking over, I would guess that if you were able to cook up a super soldier with an IQ of 180 and a strength of a gorilla you would have a new kind of human subspecies.
Yep
Soldiers should just be obedient muscles, not Einsteins.
Well I mean he’s Samoan
Ok
no experience = not smart
Basically this movie is super soldier.
While universual is also is not realstic
Its already happening in some places.
my god... they cloned Vin Diesel and turned him into a killing machine... my god...
😂
brah...its a guy 20 years younger...of course he gonna run faster
Everything is circumstantial. We are always putting simulated battles and fights. Here we have Todd an older and more experienced soldier going head to head in a test of endurance with a younger and arguably better fit soldier. Of course the younger soldier will beat the older soldier in endurance. The younger soldier is more fit. Put those two in a war zone with weapons it is no surprise that experience will be the deciding factor
A perfect soldier only has to follow orders perfectly without hesitation. Only strength is important, experience is not needed as orders are given, even on the field, to direct the soldier on what to do.
Halo door killin spre
Level Asian
what the Colonel failed to factor in was intelligence, sound tactics combined with battle experience........
They just need to be able to follow any command given perfectly, no matter the command. The ability to think is not necessary.
I know it's been 2 years but you realize the movie is just called soldier..
Yes. But The Soldier sounds better.
@@ChristianProtossDragoon ? Not really, saying soldier just means the soldier anyways? It sounds off, I'm sure when they were making the movie they probably thought the same thing also. I'm sure they sit down for hours coming up with names for movies so I'm sure they ran through that title, they said that sounds like shit, just call it soldier. Ha ha
Well, this sounds better. xD
@@ChristianProtossDragoon No your name just sounds like a movie of a soldier getting cornholded.. ha ha
Ok. lol
Full movie in Hindi
0:12 I count 51 bullet holes total, 20 holes off center mass, if that's 99% accuracy I'm a fucking super soldier from mars

A pretty good comparison actually.
Any Spartan II could smash all those bald guys
What did you see. Malfunction
😂
0:27 what kind of a benchpress is that????😂😂😂😂
xD
benchpress of a real man
Only thing that doesnt age well is the chain scene... If you can't pull yourself up with only your arms, you're kinda weak.
47 can still be young enough for an actor whos not a lifelong athlete to get in decent shape and fool a casual civilian audience, but even the average couch potato now knows these guys are kind of in mediocre shape for so called elite soldiers especially. people didn't have as much access to knowledge on proper strength, hypertrophy, and endurance programs + how to eat.

Nope.
You lameass get em” men!!!! Best part you don’t show
Did I miss something...?
T0DD😓😓😧😧😧😴😴😴
Todd could have taken him alone
So Bruce Lee was a super soldier..
I'd say that was a give.
Soldier 2 should have a Kenyan or Somallian haha they could outrun these guys.
hahahaha
To fight and to kill. That IS the soul purpose of existence. This world is a cruel place and doesn't suffer fools.
Somebody that gave it a 10/10 rating on IMDB said: "Don't expect another Blade Runner!"
I'm not, this movie is great, seen it 3-4 times. Blade Runner is a boring shit of a movie.
Why?
Both movies are great
@@Erin-bc8ic Yes.
Most people agree with you 2, but 4 me BL is one of the most overrated movies ever, right there after Godfather and City of God. I was bored.
@@ChristianProtossDragoon I wish I had an answer for you, but the movie bored me so much that I barely remember anything of it, so that I may give you a viable argumentation. One of the universal truths is that those who liked something will almost always know more about it than those who didn't. :)
