One of my all-time favorite movies! I can still quote it at will.
Will must get really annoyed with you quoting this movie at him constantly.
To this day (and this is no joke) I will be hitting it from behind with my girlfriend and she will be like "CRAZY IVAN", whip around, and pounch on me.
Gen X Portland chicks are the best
I wanted to hear Jonnie Cochran shout "CON. SONAR. Crazy Ivan!" during the OJ trial.

@@LeviBulger Silly rabbit.
I love how Sam's last words are "I would love to have seen Montana" and his character's first appears in Jurassic Park in Montana
And that movie is about cloning 😮
@@Roddy556 and?
@adamskeans2515 maybe in an unexplored plot twist they brought him back from the dead like a dinosaur
@@Roddy556 ok
This movie is so well written and so well edited. I must have watched it twenty times.
It is my Perfect Movie and I watch it weekly, sometimes more. My friends did a conservative guesstimate that I've seen it more than 2500 times. It really is the perfect film!
The filmmakers did a great job. However a goodly portion of that great job was adapting fairly close to the book. Clancy's book of the same name sold hundreds of thousands of hardcover copies (It was on the NY Times hardcover fiction best seller list for 2+ years IIRC); it then went on to sell millions of paperback copies. Clancy wrote 17 books around the main character (John Patrick 'Jack' Ryan) and after his death 21 more have been published by 'ghost' authors. It is one heck of a book.
This book started my love affair with Tom Clancy. When the movie came out, I have seen it in a cinema on a wide screen-.the scope of it was amazing . Have to admit, there was a trepidation- too many good books get mangled with mediocre adaptation, but by the end of this movie it was :" Yes!" . This one is brilliant.
He is afraid of flying because he was in a crash while serving as a Marine. The books are amazing!
*Ramius* knew that the only purpose for a sub like the *_Red October_* is for a _first strike._ Not defense. A sub with one purpose: _to start a war._ That's why he deflected and gave it to the Americans.
You also wondered why he wrote the letter telling the admiral their intention to defect. He explained it by telling his men the story about Cortez reaching the new land and burning his ships. Cortez did it to motivate the crew. So the letter *Ramius* sent put them in the position of having no choice but to succeed or die.
Delightful reaction! Thank you!Be well! 🙋🏼♂️
Ramius wrote the letter because he was arrogant. He's a good character and a talented captain, but he was over overconfident in his ability to hide from everyone.
@@RexFuturi It's possible, but I don't think he was. He himself rated their chances at 1 in 3. He just knew it was the best chance he was likely to get, and it needed to be done, as demonstrated by the Soviets' secrecy around the sub. They could have used such a system for defense - "don't even move to attack us, or we'll end you before you start" - but, if that were their intention, they'd be parading the thing around. As observed in Dr. Strangelove, "a doomsday weapon's no good if you don't tell anyone about it!!". The only reason for the secrecy would be to preserve the best chance for a complete-surprise first-strike, and if that's your goal, you move as soon as possible.
The Red October had to be neutralized.
@@michaelccozens They make it clear in the book that it was arrogance.
And an also FY to his wife's uncle who didn't take any action on the unskilled/unfit that day doctor that led to his wife's dying while he was at sea.
Stellan Skarsgård plays the arrogant Captain Tupolev.
Skarsgard is an phenomenal actor. He plays Eric Selvig in "The Avengers" and Professor Gerald Lambeau in "Good Will Hunting". His list of films is amazing.
He also played the lead in the Norwegian movie Insomnia (1997) on which the American movie of the same name (2002) was based.
And Boris Shcherbina in "Chernobyl".
Also in Ronin and very good in it as usual.
And Ronin too along with Robert De Niro and Jean Reno.
He also had the awesome monologue in Andor.
I convinced my mom to go to the theatre with me to see this. She had a strong resistance to seeing a matinee, but she was a fan of Connery and Sam Neil. For the next 20 years, she would quote Sam Neil’s final line: I would have liked to see Montana.
Wanted to dig up dinosaur bones
I felt so bad for him. He just wanted a quiet life away from the sea.
@@davewhitmore1958 OMG...That's AMAZING!!! So stealing this!
I've seen this movie a thousand times, Great Movie, Great Tom Clancy Book!
The Captain of the USS Dallas is played by Scott Glenn...who was also in The Right Stuff, Silverado, Backdraft, and The Bourne Ultimatum.
Scott Glenn was a US Marine before his acting career
@@et2petty That makes complete sense...he has a great knack for playing characters with authority.💯
And he played Agent Crawford in Silence of the Lambs.
One of my favorite moments in the movie is when Ramius gives the first ping and confirms that he is defecting, and Glenn plays it so perfectly. Mancuso instantly and clearly shifts from complete skeptic to fully becoming like a little kid who is being given a chance to go to Disneyworld and is willing to do anything to make it happen. It is all encapsulated in that "I'll be damned...what next?" sequence...just perfect.
He also played the villain in Urban Cowboy (1980, with John Travolta and Debra Winger)
I've seen this move many many times since it was new and enjoy it every time. I think Alec Baldwin was the best Jack Ryan.
For a more realistic Submarine movie I highly recommend Das Boot (1981), in the original German with sub titles.
And the extended cut.
Das Boot is superb, but it also set in WW2 , so IMHO, it is of different genre with different psychology behind it.
When Ramius told the crew their orders he said they would conduct "missile drills" not actually fire missiles at America.
We do missile drills all the time.
The actor playing the Soviet Ambassador was Joss Ackland, who played the South African diplomat villain in "Lethal Weapon 2"
The actor playing the Captain of the Soviet submarine that attacked Red October and Dallas was a very young Stellan Skarsgaard
The actor playing the American Admiral on the aircraft carrier was Fred Thompson, who played the airport boss in "Die Hard 2" and later became a US Senator.
Ackland also he played the situp champion of the 27th century...
You guys didn't know the mystery, but it was great watching how you figured it out.
Here's an interesting fact. On the Dallas, when Jonesy plays the recorder for the captain, he mentions Russians subs running the Reykjanes Ridge at high speeds cause they had hyper-accurate surveys of the underwater canyons..Capt. Mancuso says "Yeah, yeah! Red Route One." Well, that information was classified at the time. The Russians didnt know we were onto them and had been watching them at Red Route One for some time. When Tom Clancey put that in the movie, he blew our cover and revealed the classified information to the Russians on accident
Clancy's book "The Hunt for Red October" came out in 1984, about 6 years before the movie. It was a huge bestseller. Contrary to the popular belief that Clancy had access to top secret information when writing the novel, he claims that he did his research in technical manuals, discussions with former submarine crew members, and books like Norman Polmar's "Guide to the Soviet Navy" and "Combat Fleets of the World" so that he could be as accurate as possible in describing the Soviet Navy's submarine capabilities. I worked in a book store when this book first came out. The rumor we heard was that Clancy was firmly requested to discuss what his sources were by the CIA because he was too accurate for someone without any military experience. But I have not been able to find any confirmation of that rumor now. I do know that he was not in hte military, having been rejected for service due to his poor eyesight.
@@TheCkent100 The discussion was with the FBI as it was in the US. They were certainly acting at the behest of the CIA. Heck the CIA likely had people there, but the FBI was the Agency making the 'request'. Clancy talked about it during interviews in the later years of his life as I recall.
There is a sci-fi novel series called Frontline by German author Marlo Kloos. Red Route One and this movie are actually mentioned in it.
Not to give too much away but the book series takes place over 100 years from now. A character who is Russian refers to this movie as “an old Imperialist propaganda film”. The codename Red Route One is a closely guarded Russian secret that is
Did Clancey write the movie script too?
Some of my favorite Sub movies are this one, Crimson Tide, The Enemy Below, Das Boot, and U-571.
Call me silly, but my favorite scene was when Ryan was shocking the room with his “Ramius is defecting” theory. 😊
"You son-of-a-bitch!"
Who’s doing the briefing?
You are.
I know I said, “Speak your mind”, Jack, but Jesus…..
My favorite is Admiral Padorin walking through his office ... Yah, yah.... yah yah.... 😂
Who would’ve thought that Jack Ryan would be married to Dr. Beverly Crusher’s great-great-great-great-grandmother…..😆
YES! One of my favorite movies. Good one to react to!
I am so happy you are reacting to this movie.😄 I highly recommend Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, both based on Tom Clancy books.
Harrison Ford is Jack Ryan in both of those films and are some of my favorite of the Jack Ryan movies.
Oh boy...this is interesting timing for a movie about submarines...considering the big breaking news of today about the Titan submersible.💯
I was thinking the same thing. Sad news.
Please explain it more-- you're not heavyhanded enough
In an interview with Scott Glenn, he talks about how he trained for being a attack boat skipper by spending a weekend on an actual Los Angeles class submarine. The captain ordered his crew to take Glenn's orders, and had Glenn repeat his orders so he could practice giving orders to a real crew. Glenn says his Bart Mancuso is him doing this submarine captain.
In the book version (a rarity where the movie is better) Ramius gives the Red October's missile keys to Jack. Jack in turn Jack gives the keys to Admiral Greer, and tells him "You can end the world with those".
Awesome reaction. Thank you both.
Congratulations Brian! You DESERVE to be on TV, telling the truth and fighting against the rampant mis- and dis-information out there! We'll be watching you wherever you are. Best of luck, Brian! Cheers!
This is one of my favorite movies, maybe most favorite but certainly in the top two or three. I love watching you guys review movies. I always know before I even watch that I'm going to hit like! I can only say that about a very few reviewers. Thanks!
One thing I think many people miss is, Ramius sent the letter so there would be "no turning back" for his officers. That's why he told the story about Cortes burning his ships...so his crew would be motivated because they had no way back to Spain.
I have this on DVD, and I will watch it anytime it comes on the TV. A great movie.
Every true Murican was raised on this movie. Seeing it with older eyes and knowing how much weight the actors carry the casting really feels like it was a Woodstock of the time. Connolly, Neil, Jones, Curry etc. !
A Russian reactioner mentioned they're pretty much saying broken Russian so they did the best they could to make it realistic.
Y'all have some magically perfect timing releasing this now, given the thing in the news...is all I'll say about that.
One of my favs ❤ Sir Sean Connery at the top of his game with no effort.
Joy, you sure do bring your namesake (i.e. joy). You two are so great together. Loved the reaction and can't wait for the next one.
yeah, it was so much fun to watch this movie with two very intelligent people. "Hunt For Red October" is my very favorite movie of all time (even better than "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid")! you two made the movie even better!
He sent the letter to Moscow because he knew a point would come when he officers who were with him would get scared and want to reverse and try to go back. Thus the story about Cortez burning his own ships, so his men were motivated to continue rather than risk them turning against him when they just wanted to go home instead.
The writer Tom Clancy was an ex CIA operative. I still believe this incident happened, but both sides still deny it to this day. The book is way more exciting then the film :)
Great reaction as always!
I understand that the incident of a run amok Soviet sub captain occurred, but it was a Naval officer who crazed commie party loyalist who thought the Soviets were getting soft and he intended to fire nukes at the US.
Operation: Petticoat (1959), starring Cary Grant and Tony Curtis
An old classic comedy film about a submarine in WWII that has to take on a bunch of nurses during the war. HILARIOUS!!
The Hunt for Red October is my mom’s favorite Jack Ryan film!
This is one of my favorite movies
Game over!... you both rule! Great reaction
A truly great action movie. Wish we had more like this.
To be honest, there wasn’t a lot of action until the end. There was a lot of intrigue and suspense, and that’s just fine.
This is my first video of yours. I really liked how you caught on right away that Ramius was getting revenge. Absolutely! He wanted to hurt the USSR. The film doesn't go into it, but in the book he felt robbed of being able to grieve or seek any comfort or answers spiritually because of the mandatory secularism. Giving the best new weapon of the USSR to the US was the best possible damage he could inflict. I'll check out more of your reactions. Thanks for watching Red October! ♥
If you guys enjoyed this one you should also watch "Crimson Tide." It's one of my absolute favorite submarine films. Great cast, great story, great music, well edited. It's amazing.
"Hunt for Red October" is the second best submarine movie after "Das Boot".
2:30 *Joy:* "Oh, am I gunna see water? I _hate_ water...."
Oops; wrong choice of movie. 😅
In this movie is one of the most accurate quotes, ever spoken " I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops."
😂😂😂
Oh and one more thing... In the book the Soviet crew who were evacuated from Red October were also given the opportunity to defect if they so chose. There's a passage of them being driven round the suburbs and seeing how much Americans have.
This movie is a Holiday staple...they know that it's a remote drop for 4 or 5 generations who are all together around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The brilliance of Clancy- everyone has a piece of the puzzle, so who can put it together first
Fun facts: Sam Neill's character dies regretting he never got to visit Montana. Fast forward to the 1990s and the film Jurassic Park, which features Sam Neill's character IN MONTANA. :)
Also, Jack Ryan's wife in the beginning of the film is played by Gates McFadden, who plays Dr. Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Picard.
Excellent movie. It's one of those that you have to watch a few times before you understand everything that was happening.
Fun one, M&J! 😃
Hi guy’s another great reaction from you guy’s. You make me laugh always, can I point out you both very smart on the plot all the way through, I remember the first time watching this movie and I missed parts of the plot of the movie. So well done with that, great movie pick. Big love from England and keep the reactions coming ❤️ great channel 🌴🤍
Great reaction to this Great movie. Thanks from Pa USA. Keep up the awesome job.
I'm so glad i experienced this film as a kid in the theatres. Still holds up. Magnificent film!
They didn't have time to explain everything in the movie. But the reason Ramius had a grudge was a drunk surgeon accidentally killed his wife, and he wasn't punished because he was the son of a high party official.
A drunk soviet? I'm shocked. SHOCKED!
A paranoid movie by an American author, I watched it while laughing, a hollywood movie that drives people crazy with absurdity 😁😁😁😁
Wonderful reaction, could tell you were invested. Book is long but a great read.👍
Thank you for watching my FAVORITE movie about the Cold War. In the 90s, we knew the Commies were our enemies. This movie is so much fun for those of us who thought nuclear war was only days away.
One of my favorite submarine movies alongside Crimson Tide.
Fun fact:
The actor who played the KGB undercover agent that sabotaged the boat also played in Gladiator as Quintas.
Also, the larger actor who played the Chief of the Red October, the one who started singing the Russian National Anthem, also played in Gladiator, as former champion Tigris of Gaul, along with swinging a big Hammer against Conan the Barbarian then later playing Killian's steroid-scoring security guard in The Running Man
You made me laugh at the end 🤣
One of my favorite action adventure movies ever made!
Sean Connery was perfect as Marko Ramius.
Alec Baldwin wasn't the first choice to play Jack Ryan, in fact Kevin Costner was considered to play, but turned it down to star and direct the Oscar Winning epic DANCES WITH WOLVES
I think Sean Connery fits the old and experienced sailor vibe perfectly, but of course I never imagined a Lithuanian to sound Scottish. Alec Baldwin is perfect though, he is exactly how I imagined Jack Ryan to look.
@@kidfox3971 maybe they should've cast the IRS boss from Say Anything to play Remius.
He told them why he wrote the letter. He explained that when Pizarro came to the New World, he burned their ships, in order to motivate the men to strive for their goals rather than give up and return home. Same thing here. The one officer immediately suggested giving up and going home, at the first sign of trouble.
No, it was actually out of arrogance. He wanted the Soviets to know he was beating them and thought he could easily win.
Jeffrey Pelt (Robert Jordan) was Francis, a Sandman in Logan’s Run.
At 18:33 the subtitles are wrong and caused you guys to be confused. Ramius says, "Countermeasures! Prepare to launch a full spread." But the subtitles read, "Countermeasures. Prepare to launch missiles."
"i am your father" lol.. impressive..... most impressive.
interesting timing for this reaction
The Soviet Union and the USA did this for many years after WWII. Just tracking and "playing" with each other but never actually firing.
Tom Clancy's book was amazing in what it revealed about this game the 2 navies would play with each other.
Another good one of his is Patriot Games.
The sonobuoys were devices dropped by planes or helicopters to listen for submarines. They would be dropped in patterns to try to triangulate a sub's location and depth. The buoys were disposable and were supposed to sink after use, but they didn't always do so.
The cook was the "KGB" agent put on board in secret to monitor the crew, in addition to the political officer. This one could not fire a missile but it sounds like he was trying to set off the solid propellant. Most likely this would ignite as if being launched but it wouldn't leave the ship since the hatches were closed. The propellent would burn out the interior of the ship. The missiles were either ejected by compressed air so they would ignite outside of the sub or the sub might have to surface and set up a launch rig there (a difficult thing that exposed the sub and wasn't used for long). There is footage out there about a US Navy test firing a rocket from a torpedo tube, using an unmanned sub loaded with cameras. The rocket exhaust melted and blew out the back of the tube very quickly and did a lot of damage to the sub, sinking it I think.
I had a paperback book of this movie the book has way more information on it than the movie of course
Top-notch techno suspense movie, thank you for reacting!
And Joy comes through with the correct theory again!
One of my all time great movies
In the book Ramius' motivations were made more clear as his wife's death was caused by Soviet doctors & corruptionin the Soviet system (lack of supplies that would have saved her IIRC) and of course to prevent the Soviets from having a weapon that would upset the balance of power. The Jack Ryan series of books, films & even tv series are all worth a look.
The supplies and allowing a doctor to habitually be drunk on duty and then to protect him from consequences when the inevitable happened and he killed someone.
A Hall of Fame Book made into a Hall of Fame Movie. John McTiernan only directed 12 films but dang did he get his monies worth. Hunt for Red October, Die Hard, Predator and 13th Warrior are the highlights but I can't think of a one I would call bad. Also the plane that deployed sonar buoys and launched a torpedo at Red October was not American (or NATO). If you look at the tail you will see it badged with a Red Star. That would make it Soviet Naval Aviation.
I see you noticed James Earl Jones. Yes, you're right, he did the voice of Darth Vader. Here's an interesting bit of trivia: I know you guys have done a reaction to The Sting. Do you recall the Black con-man in the beginning, "Luther," who was thrown out the window and killed by the gangsters? That guy is Robert Earl Jones, and he is James Earl Jones' father.
Great reaction y’all, I really like this movie & one of my favorites but Sean Connery. Tom Clancy is a fantastic writer, & I’ve read nearly all of his books, this is among my favorites. Keep going with the Jack Ryan films, they really are good (although the books are better)
I grew up watching this over 25 times! I never get sick of this movie! I ONLY read the book because i enjoyed the movie so much! I thought it interesting they created the fake Typhoon sub by cover a floating barge with wood superstructure. Also the undersea models are all suspended by thin cables moving them around and the "water" is a smoke -filled set backlit with blue light.
The reason Marko Ramius informed Admiral Yuri Podorin in Moscow, and told his own officers in the Captain’s mess (minus Dr. Petrov) of his informing Moscow of their intention to defect, was the same reason Hernán Cortés burned his ships in 1519 after reaching what is now Mexico. Cortés wanted to conquer the New World, but his men were sick of fighting the hostile natives. They wanted to return to Spain and so the Conquistador burned his ships. As a result, his men were well motivated because they had no choice but to proceed with their mission to conquer “New Spain.”
Great reaction! :) There's a lot going on in this movie and a lot of reacters get confused about the details. However, props to you guys for understanding what "defect" means! I showed this movie to my daughter and we were halfway through it before she asked what it meant. In the late eighties, *everybody* knew exactly what it meant, but I guess not so much these days! Great movie. Alec Baldwin was definitely the best Jack Ryan. I didn't think the other books were adapted so well, but that might be because I read the other books before seeing the movies. When I read The Hunt for Red October, I saw that they re-wrote the story for the movie, but it was in a good way, to compress the action.
I loved the very end. 😝
Little bit of trivia for you, the same stuffed bear prop was used in this movie and Die Hard.
Great film , thanks
Great movie. You should also see the Harrison Ford Jack Ryan movies and Ben Affleck Jack Ryan movie. Also you should see Sean Connery in Highlander and The Name Of The Rose.
It's about 3 am in Romania and 8 am on the Philippines now. So no matter either country you two are at the moment - that's effort! 👍
Love this movie, i think is the first of the jack ryan series. Two more with harrison Ford, one with ven afleck and a newer one. All really good
In the novel, Ramius’ wife dies from a botched surgery. The surgeon, who was drunk while on duty, was the son of a high official, so Ramius couldn’t have him punished.
Sub vet here, loved the reaction
This movie was a complete surprise for me when I first seen it. It was SO good. Look for other 'Jack Ryan' adventures with the following movies: Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games, The Sum of all Fears, and Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit. All of these films are not sequels or prequels, but more like episodic individual adventures, each pretty much self contained. All are pretty damn good. All are based off of Tom Clancy novels. Several actors play the role of the lead character throughout the series of films. I really hope you enjoy these... :)
Hello! Just found your channel about one my favorite films ever! Shout out kabayan 🇵🇭 !
One of my very favorites. 😊
In the book they say Ramius did it because he was deeply mad at the government that allowed his wife to die from a very curable condition (I believe it was a strep infection that went septic) because they didn’t supply basic medical care to his wife and so she died. It’s also thought by fans that the one officer did live to go to Montana.
Appendicitis. The surgeon was drunk and by the time he sobered up it had burst. The antibiotics were substandard (Ramius joked that the bottle was probably nothing more than water) and she died. The doctor was related to a high up party official and got off with no punishment.
There was a Soviet surface warship in the Baltic that mutinied in the 70s ... the mutiny thought the Soviet policy wasn't aggressive enough. The Soviets hunted them down, boarded the ship and took it back under official control. The ship wasn't nuclear.
I hope you are all doing well. I really do sincerely enjoy watching you two react to movies, this one was no exception. You also should check out James Earl Jones resume of movies . James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair were both in the movie Coming To America with Eddie Murphy and then again paired up together to be in the movie The Lion King. James Earl Jones was the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars. First movie I ever saw James Earl Jones was Conan the Barbarian with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Thank you for this and we'll see you on the next one.
When Tom Clancy, author of the novel that movie is based on had a visit from government officials (possibly FBI) because officials wondered if either Clancy took classified information or someone giving classified information to him. Because his details in the book and movie nearly to similar to official info. But Clancy was clear by FBI.
In the books, his wife dies in a common surgical operation because the doctor was intoxicated when he performed it. Ramius was at sea on a submarine when it happened. This turn of events is the final straw and his disillusionment with the Soviet way of life is complete. He decides to punish Moscow and defect.
DAMN FINE FILM
JACK RYAN EXPRESS
They forgot to explain exactly why Ramius' wife's death inspired him to defect, it is explained in the book however. Basically Ramius' wife was taken into surgery while he was out at sea, but the doctor who operated on her was very drunk and so she died in the opperating room. The doctor was not punished for the crime because his father was a high-ranking member of the communist party and so, fed up with the corrupt communist bureaucracy, he takes command of their newest and most advanced nuclear submarine to deliver it to the Soviet's worst enemy.
Poor guy, just wanted to go to Montana and dig up some bones :(
The easiest explanation for Ramius sending the letter was to burn all bridges leading back to Russia, ensuring this mission was America or bust so as to keep the defectors focused on their goal.
5:19 IMMEDIATELY before I started watching this reaction, I just finished watching a reaction to Beetlegeuse. I saw Alec Baldwin and thought that was a coincidence, but then I just saw Jeffery Jones too. Weird. Two old movies, with 2 shared actors, and I watched reaction to one right after the other.
On the 23rd of every month i lapse into quoting this movie:
"today is the 23rd isn't it?"
"What?"
"Today is the 23rd isnt it?"
"Yeah"
"You son of a bitch... You Son. Of. A. Bitch!!"😂
You must have missed the reason he announced his intentions to Moscow. It was to motivate the crew. If there's the chance to change your mind one of the crew might change his mind and ruin any chance of the plan succeeding. Like the story of Cortez he gave. When they reached the new world he burned the ships so they had no choice but to put everything into successfully relocate. If the ships were still in tact they have a chance to change thier mind, quit and go home.
For some excellent similar movies:
