Fun Fact: My Tech Theater 041 professor worked with Peter Foy, at his company “Flying By Foy”, worked on this film and many other productions - and they pioneered/perfected/patented a somersault flying harness for this movie, as he put it, “…so that we could make Raquel Welch do flips in the air while flying.” He showed us the rig too - wires coming from the hip joints at an angle. Then he made (tasteful) jokes about Ms Welch and her ‘center of gravity’. Foy was basically the go-to company for movies and theater (Peter Pan) when people needed to fly.
Really enjoying your personality. I also like that you pause the film when you have something to say, rather than talking over the dialogue. I’m making my way through your film reactions, and then will delve elsewhere. Thanks, Hatful.
This is such a great film, and the music is one of the first completely atonal scores. RIP Raquel Welch. There is another great film of hers you might like: Kansas City Bomber
Steven Boyd is famously in the movie Ben Hur. Donald Pleasants you may remember from twilight zone as the teacher who is visited by the ghosts of his students. I see Scotty is in this too
Wonderful movie it was ground breaking when it came out. And Raquel Welch was a goddess at the time every teenage boy dream girl!!!!!! I was no exception! GOD BLESS ALL HERE!!!!
Hello from America! 😘👋 I just found your channel today, and this is one of my favorite sci-fi films! Great reaction! I'm also gonna check out THE FOG reaction. And more.
@@ahatfulofreactions1414 I'm a life-long horror movie fan, and The Fog is one of those rare movies that really scared me the first time I saw it. I look forward to seeing your future videos. ✌️
In the original ending, Benes forgets the formula because the sub damaged the part of his brain that had the information they wanted. In the novelization, Grant makes the white corpuscle with the submarine chase him to the tear duct.
I once read the Isaac Asimov story, upon which the film is based. Asimov did a great job on the 'shrinking' explanation, in the novel: (paraphrasing, from memory...) 'You either move the atoms closer together, or else you selectively discard certain atoms as the shrinking process accelerates. But our breakthrough is novel, with the math so complex it's hard for anyone to process it. The breakthrough is, we neither move atoms closer together, nor discard any of them. We reduce the size of the atoms, too! We reduce everything!' I enjoy watching this film (but not so much that I do so very often.) There are a few other good ones from around the same era. Try 'The Andromeda Strain.' :)
Hey everybody. I reacted to this last year (October), but had some time today to do an edit for youtube. 👍
“You can’t say they’re understaffed.” Your reactions are THE BEST!! lol

Omggg🌟 we haven't had a Movie commentary in minute from u💀😁
Yeah, I was thinking that earlier today. I still watch 'em, I just don't have the 6/7 hours to edit them. 😅

I vouch for anything in the last year or two, when I found my footing with things a little. 😄 Anything older than that is in the experimental phase. 😅
Hah! I was 9 years old when this came out. I think I saw this at my local movie theater and was blown away. So fun to revisit.
You must be really old. I was only 8 when it came out.
Wow I haven’t seen this in several decades. At the time I didn’t know anyone in the movie now I know almost all. RIP Raquel
Ahh... Yes. This was the movie I thought starred Barbra Eden, when I watched it on your Patreon.
I kinda know what you mean. I think you were conflating this with Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea - same studio, similar feel.
@@christopherleodaniels7203 Yes, You're Correct!
YESS!!!! I’m so glad you got into this one.

There was a Saturday morning cartoon of this I liked as a kid back in the late 60’s. I think Ted Knight was the main character voice.
Of course that oxygen in the lungs isn’t miniature.

Hey, welcome welcome. The Fog is great atmospheric fun. I must edit more movies for youtube. I have a bit of a backlog. 😅

Who would really care if Rachel Welch could cook? Lol not me

Actually Asimov wrote the novel after the movie came out I agree with you he made it much more believable
