    Dantes Peak is to Volcano as Deep Impact is to Armageddon 2 movies about pretty much the same subject, one is more grounded in reality and the other is more of an action flick

      Deep Impact is way better then Armageddon in my opinion, personally because it's too over the top. Where Deep Impact is more grounded and believable, sure there's a few things about it that're unbelievable like outrunning the approaching Tsunami. Dante's Peak also focuses on the science and reality way more than other disaster movies featuring Volcanic activity like the movie Volcano where it just magically appears in California which btw is impossible to not detect and it doesn't work that way.

    All crater scenes were shot at Mount St. Helens.
    Most of the film's exteriors were shot in Wallace, Idaho. Dante's Peak and surrounding scenery were then digitally added.
    The story of Ruth refusing to leave was inspired by actual events. In 1980 when Mt. St. Helens was about to blow, resident Harry R. Truman, who was living in a failed tourist lodge that he had owned for fifty years, adamantly refused to leave. He was interviewed on camera and pointedly warned but he insisted that the danger was being wildly exaggerated. Meanwhile, David Johnston, a principal scientist on the USGS team had taken up a position to view the north face of the mountain. He was six miles away. At 8:32 a.m. PDT on May 18, 1980, he radioed the message, "Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!" Seconds later he was killed by the lateral blast, which removed the entire side of the mountain. In 1993, thirteen years after the blast, road construction workers discovered what turned out to be remnants of Johnson's USGS trailer. Neither his body nor the body of Truman were ever found. The pyroclastic flows began at a speed of 225 MPH and accelerated to 675 MPH almost at the speed of sound). Johnston was impacted at a speed of about 360 MPH.
    Charles Hallahan (Paul Dreyfus) passed away from a heart attack on November 25, 1997; nine months after the release of Dante's Peak. During that time he was able to complete six other projects for TV and film. He was best known as the grotesque scampering crab-legged head/victim of the alien monster in The Thing (1982).
    The somewhat volcano-shaped building, which appears as the "Cascade Volcano Observatory", is the real-life post office in Malibu, California.
    Most of the inner shots in halls and rooms are filmed in Dutch Angle. It's a technique where the camera is rotated between 25 and 45 grades respecting the horizon on one side or another for giving a sensation of uncomfortably or restlessness.
    Dante's Peak got its name from "Dante's Inferno" which describes a trip into Hell.
    The only time Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton worked together. They became friends after they finished work on the film.
    At one point it is stated that tiltmeter devices that had been set up around the mountain had detected no change to the mountain's shape. When Mt. St. Helens was about to explode such devices had detected a change in the angle of the ground where they were planted, indicating a massive underground flow of magma that was causing the northern side of the mountain to bulge. They could then make some educated guesses about the nature of the upcoming explosion. The fact is that with St. Helens the scientists grossly underestimated the amount of energy that had been stored up. The lead USGS scientist set up his observation post almost directly facing the bulge, rather than to the side, assuming that a distance of six miles would be safe. But when it blew, not only was the explosion many more times greater than expected but the scientist was killed and never found.
    Roger Donaldson had considered a career in geology and has a working knowledge of volcanoes.
    Roger Donaldson had not met Pierce Brosnan before making this movie. He had seen Brosnan play James Bond in GoldenEye (1995), and the two got to know each other before filming for this movie commenced.
    Wallace, Idaho, where the movie was filmed, does not reside near a volcano.
    Pierce Brosnan's character name is Harry Dalton. Timothy Dalton played James Bond before Brosnan.
    When the volcanic lava begins to destroy the mountain cabin, everyone runs to get onto a small boat. The first time the scene was filmed, the boat sank. Jamie Renée Smith could not swim, and Pierce Brosnan held her until a crew member pulled her from the water.
    The close-ups of the pyroclastic cloud erupting were shot in a car park with giant gas pumps under a volcano set, pumping masses of dark grey cloud five or six times per second.

    Trivia for Dante's Peak (both for James and for anybody else interested in knowing):
    - Released in 1997; directed by Roger Donaldson; written by Leslie Bohem.
    - This was the third collaboration between Linda Hamilton and producer Gale Anne Hurd, having done the first two Terminator films together.
    - This was one of the final roles for Charles Hallahan, who played Paul Dreyfuss; the movie's release date was February 7, and Hallahan died of a heart attack in his car on November 25.
    - Like Armageddon one year later, Dante's Peak went up against a similar volcano movie released in the same year, called "Volcano" (starring Tommy Lee Jones from Men in Black).
    - Because of the competition with "Volcano" and its studio, 20th Century Fox, the production schedule for "Dante's Peak" was sped up, and had a better box office gross because of its earlier release date.
    - Most of this movie was filmed in Wallace, Idaho; its local high school mascot, the Miners, can be seen at one point.
    - Roger Donaldson was eager to direct as he had once been a geology student.
    - Kurt Russell (from Backdraft and Overboard) was considered for the lead role of Harry Dalton.
    - The titular volcano doesn't erupt until fifty-three minutes into the movie.
    - During the parade scene, Coeur d'Alene High School band students appeared in the film. The band received $8,000 from Universal Pictures for new instruments and uniforms.

    The St. Helens eruption which someone relates to this deposited huge amounts of ash in Eastern Washington. One of the heaviest deposits was over Wiley City, a small town West of Yakima, which is also where my parents lived. We were dealing with the ash for years. You could taste it in the air and if you put your arm down on a counter or table, you could feel the grittiness of the fine ash. My baby brother made money by going around a grocery store in Yakima, taking everything off of a self of shelves, cleaning off the ash, and putting back on the shelves. After doing a bunch of shelves, he had to start again.
    Driving on I-90 in Eastern Washington, ash drifts were present for years.

    MY dad and I were on Mt St Helens the day the glaciers and groundwater boiled. He had been making some side money taking pictures with his camera rig, and selling them to the newspaper as stock images. We'd found a way inside the Red Zone, through clear cuts and logging roads, so we could get close, and spent Sundays up there in the ash (from minor eruptions) getting itchy and babysitting his automatic camera. The static in the ash makes it cling to everything -- we were forever shaking it out of our clothes and wiping his camera lens. This was a Thursday, I believe, when I had an In Service day from school and my dad was also free, so we'd gone up the mountain. The ground started rumbling so deeply it felt like itching in my teeth. The giant steam plume started as we were hightailing it out of there, and I remember thinking that I hadn't realized how far 'up' actually went. The column of steam towered into the atmosphere before ash started to black everything out. We got into Cougar, Washington and everyone was trying to skedaddle. It was pitch dark at 3-3:30, the headlights didn't reach very far. And the small town of Cougar had bumper to bumper traffic, as bad as any rush hour, anywhere, ever. Cars that hadn't put nylons over their air intake were choked out and abandoned on the side of the roads. Everyone was honking and panicky and trying to get the hell out of there, because we thought the whole mountain was about to come down -- or go up! It was a month yet before that would happen, but nobody knew that then. Those were the last pictures my dad took of St Helens.

    I grew up around Portland, Oregon, and the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens in 1980 is a memorable event in the Pacific Northwest. My 5th grade class watched this film when we studied volcanoes, and then we took a field trip to Johnston Ridge Observatory at Mt. Saint Helens in the 1990s. Yup, this film ranks high in terms of accuracy. Now go watch the 1997 film "Volcano" and laugh.

    Dante's Peak is based, to some degree, on the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens (which I was here for, in WA State, back in 1980). Volcanologists say it's one of the closest-to-accurate volcano movies made. Thing is, we don't have much in the way of flowing lava like that, but instead, pyroclastic flows, which can be worse (they did portray that in the movie). Oh, and some of the towns near Mt. Rainier have evacuation routes and plans, yes. They have to. For both volcano and tsunamis.

    Enjoyed your reaction, as usual. :)
    FYI, lava flows can be devastating but are comparitively slow-moving. But pyroclastic flows are clouds of super-heated particles and gases, hot enough to melt lead, that can move at hundreds of miles per hour and cover a wide area. Historically, it is usually these that kill the most people in volcanic eruptions.

    This was one of your best reactions yet! You should watch the sister film Volcano next. It has Tommy Lee Jones in it and Keith David!

    Good guess, James...but no, lol.
    I remember seeing this in the theater when I was a tween. Very exciting movie, and a unique natural disaster concept.

    Consider reacting to "Vertical Limit"
    Another "disaster" movie, has to do with high mountain climbing. Fun watch.

    You should also watch the movie "Volcano" from 1997 (starring the great Tommy Lee Jones a. o.)! Spoiler-Alert! This time it's Los Angeles (totally other conditions than in the mountain-nature).
    Wish YOU a lot of fun as always, dear great "Mr. James". God bless you! Heartfelt greetings from Germany!

    Coffee coffee coffee Cappuccino.... Wow, this is a bit eerie, was only reading yesterday about a concerning surge at Campi-Flegrie super volcano near Naples, they are even calling a citizens meeting (for tomorrow I think). Unfortunately in a mirror of this film, one of the local Italian news reports went to great lengths to emphasize that only official sources should comment as they have delicate economics and social issues to be deeply concerned about, particularly tourism... ie keep it low key. Unfortunately when it goes.. so does Naples and possibly much more, with a 100km caldera that is partially under the Mediterranean. Citizens are complaining about sulfur smells.. uplift is increasing, tremors up to 3.5... only 2-3km deep. I mean... the start of this film is essentially describing the same situation.. hopefully it ends much better.

    Cant recommend The 33 enough. Its stars Antonio Banderas as one of the 33 Chilean miners trapped in a mine collapse. That will cover mining disaster movies on your bucket list. Also the 2006 remake of the Poseidon Adventure, simply called Poseidon, starring Kurt Russell, Josh Lucas, and Richard Dreyfus is fantastic as well.

    You should check out "Alive" 1993. It's a pretty good 'based on true story' movie.

    Not even close. Mt. St. Helens was only a VEI 4 level eruption. Many volcanoes in Indonesia are significantly larger. Krakatoa was supposedly VEI 7 or thereabouts, and the supervolcano in Yellowstone has erupted much larger than even that.

    Say, James, which studio made this one?
    Time to watch _Volcano_ (1997), starring Tommy Lee Jones.
    For comedy, there is _Joe Versus the Volcano,_ starring Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan.
    Have you seen _Towering Inferno_ yet, starring Paul Newman & Steve McQueen?

    Since you are so well read I'm surprised you didn't associate the word Dante with an Inferno. I am not well read but I have seen the movie seven so I am familiar with the title Dante's Inferno.

  • @couch.patati-patata

    You want to see volcanic action? You should watch Walter Mitty. It has a real volcano.
    And then there's Volcano, that movie and this came out at the same time. It has the old guy from Men in Black.

    I loved the fake movie ad that Weird Al made called "60% Chance of Rain". The fake movie trailer even mentions this movie since it's spun as being in the same genre. th-cam.com/video/MaNm8ghomCk/w-d-xo.html
    Also, the hint in the title of this movie was "Dante", since most people think of Dante's Inferno (even though there were other things he wrote about). So the goal was to think of a peak (mountain) that would unleash an inferno (mountain of fire...volcano).

    Fyi, morbid, but: If burns penetrate the first layer of living tissue, from heat or chemical or radiation, the chances of the serious burns alone killing a person, as a rule of thumb, are the percent of their body burned plus the person's age.
