USS Nimitz, my first ship when I joined the Navy. And yes, they played this movie regularly and would play the musical score during underway refuel and replenishment.
My father served on the Nimitz from 78-82 said he was shocked about the difference in pizza in Italy compared to the states when the Nimitz docked there 😂
paradox. if you invented a ship that goes back in time to make sure you win every war then in the future you would have never built it because you would have no reason what means if it was never made that means history never changed. edit: yall i made this at the start of the video calm down
The video title is inaccurate. The time travel was not intended, well it was intended but only because the guy that got left behind in 1941 arranged for it to happen, no one knew they would be going back in time.
Could also create a new timeline that is septate from the one they left from. That way the past we know would be one tininess timeline and the act of going back in time could beat new timeline. Sorry for repeating myself just want to try and make sure the wording is understood. Time travel is a mess to keep straight
@@Butterfly-wu1km This was predestined time travel. The one who sent them on the voyage that got them sent back in time did so because he was on that voyage and got left behind in 1941.
This film is a good example of the "You can't change the past because whatever you do is already part of what happened all along" model of time travel. See also the first Terminator film, although the later ones didn't follow the model so rigidly and went with "You can change some things but in the end you're just delaying the inevitable".
That is what is referred to in sci-fi terms as a "Predestinational Paradox" where someone from the present (or future) is meant to be a part of the past in order for current events to exist as that past unfolded. Terminator was probably the best example of that story arc as well as this one.
Even though the F-14 "Tomcats" taking on the Mitsubishi A6M "Zeros" was a pretty cool scene (despite the fact that using a whole Sidewinder missile to take one out was way overkill -- the wake alone passing them at Mach 1 would have ripped the A6M apart!) the historical accuracy of that attack on the boat is inaccurate. The Japanese did not have any patrol planes out attacking boats prior to the attack. The Japanese commander leading the attacking fleet, Vice Admiral Chuichi Nogumo, feared that having any sort of air patrols -- including recon flights -- might lead to the discovery of the fleet. He didn't believe they would actually manage to make it all the way to Pearl Harbor before being spotted, but to minimize any sort of chance he did not launch any planes until the early morning of Dec. 7th. It should also be noted that, if they had actually had planes out shooting up small boats and two did not return or report back, that would have brought the Japanese fleet on high alert and likely have resulted in Nogumo thinking twice about launching the attack for fear of his fleets position being discovered and attacked.
the final countdown great movie,the idea is great and would have been interesting to see a 2nd out come if they stayed,time travel just gives you a head ache,best not to try and figure that out as each has a conflict
the f14s casualy flying around not getting picked up bye the ww2 radars ore japanese navy planes who are destroying every vessel who can tell pearl harbor about their fleet is crazy
It's not strange that they weren't picked up on radar, the Japanese ships didn't have radar, and the US hadn't yet realized the value of radar, and it wasn't being treated as importantly as it should have been. The Japanese attack was actually detected by radar, but it was dismissed under the assumption that it must just be a flight of B-17s that was due in from the mainland
If the Japanese fleet was destroyed, no Pearl Harbor attack, which means US never enters WW2 (at least for that reason in our timeline). So Germany/Japan may have then won WW2?
Germany did win @@nater86zx were still dealing with thier breakaway civilization to this day. New Berlin has an embassadorial attache in NYC on a hidden floor at the dark tower
The Axis of Time trilogy by John Birmingham has a similar premise to this. When a teleportation experiment goes wrong, a 21st century multinational taskforce materialises in the middle of the American fleet heading for the Battle of Midway. History gets sent on a radically different path.
@@nater86zx Not necessarily. The Pacific war would have been all but over in 20 minutes. An extended tour would have caused some problems. The ship itself could run for decades. The aircraft can run on kerosene; not ideal, but the jets will work. Munitions could eventually become a problem, though I believe the technicians in the 1940s could reverse engineer something that would work. Since it's only a movie, feel free to take my 2 cents for all it's worth. 🤣
The Final Countdown is a 1980 American science fiction war film about a modern nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that travels through time to the day before the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor.
No GPS did exist when this film was made, it's just that only the US military had access to it, everyone else had to wait until 3 years after the movie was released for Reagan to make it available for civilian use.
I like the time line affect story - but you could say what about the ripple affect of the future family's (that were never born - remarried - different children born = mind blowing) of the American soldiers/sailors/Airmen that were never to return about 8 or 9 in this film Recap.
They need to make a mini series based on this plot with the modern carrier actually staying back in time and helping the U.S Dominate the Pacific before being sent to the states to be studied and reverse engineers with modern engineers and technicians assisting with the U.S technological advancements. You can add in the drama from racial and feminist tension when 1940's people see Black and Female Officers and Pilots, setting the stage for the Civil Rights Movement and Womans' roles in the military to happen a lot earlier. You can add in how the U.S deals with the Soviet Union with it's new power, etc.
Not the f14s barely keeping themselves from stall speed 😂
Lol
The movie is called the Final Count Down, from 1980
That was a Kickass! film.
0:15 weird looking 'fighter jet'...
Yeah lol
This what happens when they recap videos with full of ai slop
Just as bad as the Japanese jets at 9:55
that is the 6th generation of aircraft lol

I still remember seeing a massive billboard advertising this movie in 1980 at a train station when I was 10, thinking it looked so cool.
It was filmed at Atlantoc Studios in Sufgoll, Virginia, buildo g still there, studio gone.
This is still one of my all time favorite movies.
1982!!! It's still very entertaining!!!
Recapping a movie without disclosing its name is just purely theft. Put the name of the movie up to give credit where credit is due.
1:35 how does the pilot land on an aircraft carrier if he’s unconscious? lol
autopilot
Probably really was holding it together till the second he landed that’s probably when he goes unconscious
How does a helicopter explode from a fucking flare gun? Allot of things in this movie don't make sense.
@@chownful Mate autoland can't just land on a moving carrier, which is a very complicated and difficult operation.
He lost consciousness after he hit the barrier. Excessive G forces.
It has been 45 years since the movie was released, it has also been only 39 years between 1941 to 1980 ...boy how time flies. Cool movie.

The Philadelphia experiment is a fascinating movie.
The F-14 that stalled was flown by "Fox" Fuller. The F-14 that thumped the fighter passing low and underneath was flown by "Shoes" Mullen. R.I.P. Fox.
the final countdown a verry good film
It’s was average at best a 5.9 rating out of 10.🤷♂️
@@terryquinn7765 that’s your opinion, in my opinion it’s about 8 out 10

"The Japanese jets head towards Pearl Harbor!" LOL
"...and their GPS is malfunctioning" .... When this movie was made (1980) there was no such thing as GPS. Love the movie though...
To be fair it was a military technology first and the military doesn’t like sharing its tech until like 20-30 years after it’s invented and used
@MikeM275 yeah military had GPS in 1980 didn't become useful to civilians till late 80s
the final countdown great movie,the idea is great and would have been interesting to see a 2nd out come if they stayed,time travel just gives you a head ache,best not to try and figure that out as each has a conflict
One of my all-time favorite 🎉

Radars were new tech in 1941.....and performed very poorly. like flocks of birds were no different from planes on radar.
wish they leaned into defending Pearl Harbour more and showing us an alternate timeline.
The ending was pretty bad :P
Nothing like having a Mandela Effect experience when seeing the map of Mexico and going "wtf" ...
They should remake this
I love this movie.
Please put movie name in title please, I beg you?!
The Final Countdown 1980
@@explanationprowaste of time
It's called "The Stupidest Movie Ever Made."
I’ve been told before “you sure you can handle gun games” I’m like I love wwii
Great movie not seen it in ages , with atleaste 2 great actors Kirk Douglas and Michael sheen
I saw this movie for the first time I think maybe a year or 2 ago and I thought it was really good.
It would have been a much more interesting movie if they had stayed to defeat the Japanese fleet.
If the Japanese fleet was destroyed, no Pearl Harbor attack, which means US never enters WW2 (at least for that reason in our timeline). So Germany/Japan may have then won WW2?

I remember this, it was a good movie.
This whole movie builds up to a battle that doesn't happen. Disappointing.
Even in 1941, carriers were sitting ducks to air attacks. 12 were sunk bbby the enemy in WWII.
Excellent Movie.
The F-14 202 can be found at Seattle Museum of Flight
Captain Yellend, not Matthews
this makes the movie ive watched countless times more interesting lol thanks
There was no such technology “GPS”, when this film was made. Just wanted to help you out.
No GPS did exist when this film was made, it's just that only the US military had access to it, everyone else had to wait until 3 years after the movie was released for Reagan to make it available for civilian use.
Correct. Everything we have access to today is yesterday's tech for the powers that be.
Holy sh*t! A blast from the past!
They didn't go back in time on purpose to fight the Japanese navy,this was an accident that just kinda happened
They wouldn't have GPS in *modern* times because it wasn't launched yet… 🤣
That Vortex was probably created by "The Guardian of Forever" located on Planet Gateway!! But it did not intend to send the Nimitz my back to 1941.
The black guy was a pimp from the movie superfly. 😂😂😂

My favourite aircraft carrier is USS Enterpise(CVN-65) followed by HMAS Canberra
We were just about to ask you.
@@dudeonyoutube What’s your favourite aircraft carrier?
WW II Big E CV 6.
You can play CVN 65 in the new Sea Power game.
No naval crew would behave that way
This movie is great!! Love The Final Countdown
the Blue Vortex, shows again, only shortly after the Senator Dies.. so the mission was to save him.
movie name?
Commander Dan later went on to defect from the Navy and join Russian special forces which invaded middle America in 1984.....
