“When they tell you not to panic, THAT’S WHEN YOU RUN!” Words to live by.
Yep if I was me in that I would have made a few ironman suits and fly
Most iconic line in movies for the 21'st century, also is the #1 rule for total survival.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn right!
Like he said, that guy on TV, the “governor”, is just an actor reading a script.
A moron posing as a “respected member of upper class society”.
He tells you only wants the government WANTS you to know!
They couldn’t care less about the people.
The simple peasant folk like the rest of us who ARENT filthy rich.
We are just pawns for them to use in their political games until THEIR goals are achieved.
They don’t give a damn about the people so long as THIER lives aren’t threatened!
I keep anticipating he would say “panic” instead of “run” on that last part. 😂
The CGI crew put a lot of details in this scene. I bow to their brilliance.
Roland Emmerich masterpiece
i think the best detail is the broken sewer line. never before have i seen an apocalypse movie consider utility services besides power...
That been rebranded as AI.
Now even my vacuum comes with AI.
I was thinking how bad the CGI was.
What was impractical was when then thought they could bring all of those people on the ship and the Presidents Daughter gets her own room with the guy that demanded they bring in all of those people . That is how our thought pattern seems to work . Make as many people follow the rules so you can break them and have more for yourself.
He’s literally the best driver I’ve ever seen. Driving and maneuvering through an earthquake while driving a limousine, that’s on some Fast and Furious levels of skill.
It’s because his family was in the car. Apparently, that gives you magic powers.
😜

You could watch this scene a hundred times, and you still discover new details you never noticed.
exactly
Yeah I don't care how over the top the CGI is, that's what makes this scene great. The artists probably had a blast doing this
yup , at 4:37 you can see a guy through the crack (top left) in the level above them.
@@MrPatpucI cant see him but I can hear him 😢.
@@datacomic4505watch in the slowest playback speed and at 4:37 to the left where that part falls from the ceiling, you can see someone running.
I like how he was more concerned about Jackson backing into his car than the entire neighborhood literally crumbling and all the neighbors dying horrifically.
Real car guy 😎
The car was an investment. Yeah, sure, it was not precious than his own life - but it takes some time for a modern human to understand he's in a life or death situation. Jackson spent hours upgrading, cleaning and maintaining that car - it was his pride and joy. And now its buried in a sinkhole, never again to see light of day... unless excavated in an archeological dig by whichever ultra-sapient species succeeds humanity.
Will have lost everything in a second
Probably a realistic touch, an emotional coping mechanism in the face of otherwise impossible odds
@@KncperseusJackson is the guy driving the Limo. The guy who's mad about his Porsche is Gordon.
john cusack is the actor you hire when nick cage isn't available
that's brutal
@@DJRYGAR1 its so true though isn't it lmao
@@Destinylover14 nah, frankly - Cussack is better actor (but it means nothing to eventual negotiating power or actor popularity rankings). Popularity of Cage to me is bizzare. He is so wooden. Anyway, the joke is funny ;>
😭😭
@@DJRYGAR1 and yet nick cage is cast more, john cusack is good but you cant deny their similarities
This has got to be one of the scariest but yet most badass scenes of this movie. Dude managed to escape a 10-magnitude earthquake in a fucking limo.
That's a 10?
@@outsyder8523 10.9 according to 4:44
Im not a geologist but I feel like a 10.9 earthquake wouldn't cause this much damage
I read that a 10.0 earthquake wouldn’t be possible. If it did, the whole planet would have probably cracked in half. Yes that was in the article that I read, while looking into the Valdivia earthquake, the largest earthquake ever recorded in history, at 9.5.
@@brave_jedi9437 9.5 is prrtyy close to 10, though

STOLEN COMMENT!!!
They were running alright, to their deaths!

This scene has to hold some kind of record for "1 second from death but they got lucky and survived" moments per minute
60 of them per minute.
That's the whole movie, practically.
Update Meg 2 is far worse
Also this scene takes the cake for regular Saturday to instant nightmare world ending calamity
Anything but the metric system...
2:01 - For all the flaws this movie had, this is a great moment. Many movies have a scene where someone is perhaps frozen in fear, or just reluctant to listen to the advice of the protagonist, and here it's resolved with a "GET IN THE F***ING CAR! RIGHT NOW!" It's not Oscar winning writing, but sometimes it's just what is needed.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think that was their one allotment of the f-word for a pg-13 movie. Well placed, well used.
I came for this comment. I made a comment about a movie and a family trying to escape being killed, the wife and daughter were being hesitant about jumping to another building wasting time. That convincing attitude the husband was giving was not realistic, if it’s about living or dying real people don’t have time for your fear, panics or not listening. It’s move your fucking ass before you get us killed. People tried making all the excuses and I was like, and I was like all y’all would be dead quick and easy. In real life, you better move your ass
I like how the volume of the background noise drops for a sec so we can clearly hear that line.
My favorite line in the movie.
Almost 15 years has passed and after so many poor movies in the last decade now we can say the visual effects of this movie were PERFECT!
I wondering when you said 15 years even tho you made this in 2023
And sounds quality is great too I can't wait for Blue-Rays DVD disc with Bloopers and behind the scenes and Surround sound .
What about " Day After," another early Nature Disaster movie where people in U.S.A. states are getting frozen over and one guy is a dad who measured north poles ice cap and his wife is a nurse and son is in College in Flooding New York and frozen over Atlantic Ocean and frozen over Statue 🗽 of Liberty and this movie is 1990 I think 🤔 . DVD disc .
@@richa.s9912 I had nightmares form watching that movie because the supposed ‘end of the world’ was coming
Easily one of the most detailed and realistic destruction/escape scene ever made, Like the creators did a really epic job on everything in it, like idk how a disaster scene could be made any better than this
That was so unrealistic in every sense.
@@jamesbrown5262pretty sure he meant how detailed it was.
@@jamesbrown5262 one of the strongest computers in that time, made this CGI and most of the budget went in to this. And you are complaying about it is not realistic? Almost every movie is not realistic. Games and books are too not realistic, will you complain about them too? Jeez childish behaviour.
"realistic" I'm not too sure about that...
@@dragonlukasmapping805 my thought exactly 🤣
What I always love in such movies is how they can show that no matter how high we think of ourselves, if nature decides it's time for us to go - we will most definitely go
Lol ditto, gives momentum to life we live doesn't it
Exept the main character because, despite being a completely average joe, he can dangle above fault lines, jump craters like a stunt man, has the strength of a powerlifter, and can learn new skills on the fly and in the face of watching the world burn.
@@Mike-hn4uu Yeahhh, it can be bothering sometimes. No one likes Mary Sue characters
And with that, I give you your 100th like! Congratulations! 😁
@@Mike-hn4uu and how do we know he was an 'average' joe(at least in this movie), most people learn skills on the fly, usually because they have to or die, and trust me you'd be surprised what you can do when it LITERAL do or die, and the adrenaline(and fear) is pumping overtime
I love Cusak in this movie! He sells the terror so well, but he also has comedic talent and makes you laugh at his panic.
"IN THE FUCKING! CAARRR!!!!!!!"
When we don't have Nic Cage for the role, John Cusack fills it in. And they were both brilliant in Con Air
Hey what about Woody Harrison ? He was living in a old R.V. with bunches of history of natural disaster papers and maps and stars long time ago and I think Yellowstone blew up with him while John was getting a map to go to China to the Ark .
I dont care what people say, this is one of my favourite movies of all time, the constant rush and humor with crazy CGI makes it a very entertaining movie to watch.
I remember i literally was shaking, had a pulse of 150/min and got a fever watching this scene in the cinemas. I have never experienced anything like this before on such a big screen, and i was already an adult at the time. Epic scene to this day.
You got a fever…..stay away from movie theaters then
simp possibly soy bun guy
@@sk84lifedb 😂😂😂
You were 9 years old in the movie and came back out of the theater at age 59 years old .
I loved how this movie was just SO over the top! It wasn’t pretending to not be CGI. It was just scene after scene of taking CGI destruction as far as you can take it. 😅
And there is that scene where Yuri is falling
It was destruction after destruction. Pure pleasure
I’ll tell you one thing that isn’t CGI. You’ll find this impressive.
Most earthquake films just shake the camera and have actors pretend there’s an earthquake.
Roland Emmerich did things differently; he had his team build big shaking platforms that could simulate earthquakes. You can actually kind of see them moving in some parts of this video.
I love the fact that Gordon gives Jackson a dirty look for hitting his car when it’s not going to matter anyway 😂
Yeah, especially since the house has already gone down faster than the Titanic and the car fell into the HOLE where the garage USED to be. LOL
Now Gordon knows the feeling when someone hits on their sweetheart.
He knows Jackson did that on purpose 🤣🤣🤣
@@martincampbell3595as you can see when Jackson was smiling like this 😁when he hit Gordon's car, Jackson looked back at Gordon and Jackson said "sorry😐" LOL😂
its so impressive that the production team had to implode half of LA for the sake of this scene. truly a magnificent sacrifice
It was a hell waiting for them to rebuild the city again
2:36 That look is pure gold. 😂
Gordon: 😠
Jackson: sorry 😬
I don't care that it's CGI. I love this scene!

Still today, frame by frame, the best mega-disaster movie. Others have tried to go further over-the-top, but here the balance between the special effects and the characters, the horror and the humor, is just perfect -- for this sort of thing.
The effects are the only thing it has going for it...the writing and most of the acting was shit
True, but: I submit to you, Moonfall.
and the details too. There's people doing their things (and dying) all along.
@@mrandmrsduquette1904 I haven't seen that one yet lol
@@mrandmrsduquette1904 Yes, but the characters of Moonfall don't engage me as well as the ones in 2012. Just my opinion, which is what I was getting at in the OP.
The 2012 Movie is the example of perfect story telling and CGI integration. Bravo!
almost 15 years later, this movie still give me traumas, I literally can't unheard the people screaming in despair
I don’t blame you
Unlike me I never wanted to SEE this movie at all
Crazy to think we all survived this
Who can forget all the shit we went through in ‘20
I remember those days
yeah and Yellowstone 🌋 as well!
@@CO84trucker be funny when Yellowstone erupts, all the Americans will be begging to come to South America 😂

This man is one HELL of a driver to survive all this.
that was also one tough limo😁
He's probably a gamer
Well, thats why he was a chauffeur for a russian billionaire in the movie
Forget the driver, that was one tough limousine
classic LA driver
I love the fact that instead of simply ascending the plane, the pilot decides to manouvre through a crumbling city… despite having “next to no” experience
😂I was literally yelling this at the screen. It's so dumb. He obviously had enough speed. He could have been way above it by the end lol.
I was 12 years old when this came out now i’m 24 in my opinion this is one of the top best disaster movies to ever live 👍🏾
"Is this your Plane?"
"Yeah."
"You a Pilot?"
"No sorry I just own it."
Hey it happens. Mygrandfather has a guitar, he don't know how to play it. Rich people own yachts they don't know how to sail. I own various video editing softwares, I don't know how to use em.
@@KingreX32 True. Also, that last example got me good.
@@KingreX32 why would you buy video editing software when you don’t know how to use it or even attempt to learn it? Your generation is funny 😂 💀
Hey guys. How the pilot died?
@@peterparker931I noticed a small pool of blood around his head. So I was thinking when the earthquake started, the ground underneath him was jerking so violently, he lost his balance and hit his head on the ground *really* hard, killing him.
The Los Angeles freeway with the sideway turns hundreds of feet in the air is terrifying! Seeing them collapse, horrifying.
It's not the Los Angeles it's just Los Angeles. Los means the in Spanish.

This is the movie that makes me obsessed with destructions scenes.
“Mommy, why is daddy crazy” had me on the floor😂
😂😂😂😂
1:24 lily: because the Ground is jumping. at 2:47 😂😂😂
This movie compared to San Andreas has too much CGI...But the one thing that is so sad is the amount of ppl that perished instantly. Not even in "the day after tomorrow" does it show that many ppl dying. It is brutal watching this knowing that in an instant, we can all be gone
You think it's a matter of time before that really happens?
@@IAmAHeater Probably so, based on Left Coast craziness. Plus, the whole coast is overdue for something big.
and global warming can basically cause this it'll cause the ground to melt and stuff cause stuff in Arizona is melting this summer eventually this will happen hottest places first
@@JackBright8899 Global warming is a lie bro, at least the way the greedy politicians tell it
Truth be told, the level of destruction depicted in this scene is simply never going to happen. It's sure fun to watch, though.
To this day I still think this is the best world destruction movie I’ve ever seen, even with the exaggeration in several scenes… the CGI was just too good!
This is THE greatest scene in any disaster movie ever
“Take the freeway it’ll be half the time” - Said no LA driver ever 😂
Amazeballs how the airplane managed to pull all those manoeuvres without moving its control surfaces.
That and it failed to gain altitude and seems to have been diving deep into the earth at some point. I mean, it's an airplane, it goes up. Are they implying that the land rose up faster than the airplane did? It was fun, but the whole time I"m shaking my head.
He wasn't maneuvering at all, the ground itself was tilting out of his way. 😂
He didn't really know how to fly, but he plane had a top notch autopilot.
@@jonbaker3728 With that amount of ground falling down below it there has to be some massive turbulences / downdrafts from the air rushing down to fill the void. Planes move through air, not space, so if the air is going down, the plane is going with it.
You can exchange altitude for speed and vice versa, so he dives down to gain more airspeed and better maneuverability.
idk if we've been watching the same video, but in almost every scene the ailerons have massive deflection unless they are flying in a straight line or when the plane is affected by turbulence from falling buildings/ the ground caving in.
The most ridiculous, no way in hell they survive that scene in movies. But yeah it was great and well done. Loved it
How? Plot Armor.
i mean movie doesn' t need to be realistic to be good
Avatar
Lors of the Rings etc..
@@justlive2809 Those movies still have rules they need to abide by. You can't just have your heroes do impossible stuff because 'lol, magic/science-fiction'. Yes, they can do things that don't exist in our world, but they still have to establish their own rules and follow them.
Don't mistake lack of realism for 'you can get away with anything'. A movie/book needs to set up its world and characters first and establish their abilities and what's possible in the world as a whole and then they need to stick to that throughout the entire thing and if something breaks away from it, they need to have an explanation for why that is.
@@Xylarxcode Welp too bad, it happened.
Poor Los Angeles, keeps getting wrecked, hit by tidal waves, asteroids, meteors, Godzillas, Kaiju, and nuclear bomb's
3:30 The most unrealistic part about this movie is the speed those wipers cleaned the windscreen :D
My favorite scene in this movie is when you see Los Angeles just literally sinking into the ocean, like when I first saw this movie and saw that scene, my jaw dropped and I was like “how is that even possible”. BEST EARTH DESTRUCTION MOVIE EVER!.👍👍👍👍🤩
They really did the stepfather dirty. He saved them multiple times: flying the plane, his connection to the billionaire, etc. And yet they still offed him to ensure that there weren’t any loose ends for the “happy ending”. What a joke.
Yeah, I really hated that about the movie. It would have been more realistic for him to live and the estranged father have to come to terms with the fact he lost his family instead of conveniently offing stepfather for a cliched happy ending.
While I agree he was useful, the father carried everyone. He saved his family, encouraged the stepfather to fly the planes, had crucial intel on the arks etc.
Not to mention his death was pretty fucking brutal. Yeesh.
No they got their real dad back not some cheap replacement like most step fathers are. Good won
I like to think everyone had their karma back! I think Gordon's was for wanting to leave Jackson behind when he almost fell in the void in Yellowstone(even though it was almost impossible for him to come out alive, and I think what Gordon did was the logical thing thinking Jackson obviously died). Just for not having faith on Jackson coming out alive and wanting to "leave him behind" he got the bad karma, which would pay off.
What's great about the limo run is in the behind the scenes they show how they simulated the terrain and road conditions to get as close to real as possible reactions from the actors bouncing around in their seats.
I still can’t get over the amount of Death and Destruction this one Scene has it’s pretty crazy
"I think it's safer under here".
"Get in the fucking car"!! What a line.
as a Pro Driver, I laugh so hard watching this part! Even with my skills, the only reason they made it was the mega-ton of plot armor that limo had!
As Ryan from pitch meetings would say “suspension of disbelief” or “get off the writers back on this one, wayyyy off” 😂😂😂
To be fair, I'm pretty sure the idea was that a lot of this was dumb luck and Jackson didn't have a clue what he was doing.
Not to mention the literal tons of armor that limo must have had to have bounced off of and plowed through so much without the motor dying.
All the armor that limo had and a trash can takes off the door straight away. Bet that bin survived the apocalypse
Nah, you're a pro driver only in America. Nowhere near the skills of a driver from a congested, populated country like India, where pretty much everyone is forced to develop insane driving skills to wade through chaotic stuff like this on a daily basis. There's a saying - if you have mastered the skills to survive through the roads in India, you can survive pretty much in any part of the world.
People think this came out in 2012. But it came out in 2009 along with avatar these graphics still hold up.
2:30 R.I.P Gordon's car lol💀
Rest in peace :)

At least he said sorry.

'Get in the Fucking Car Right Now' man that line still makes me laugh hearing John Cusack's character curse like that right in front of his kids.
Lol move your azzes
The only F bomb they could use
That line was needed. she was pissing me off man lol
His kids likely swear when not around him or his ex-wife.
"MOVE YOUR ASS!!" 😂😂
Its days like these where its a lifesaver to be the cameraman.
Also its been almost 15 years and this still looks BEAUTIFUL
"That plane has multiple engines!" gets me every time 😆
He was just trying to get out of the predicament that Jackson put him through, because their pilot was killed, and they needed a replacement. And the fact that he had little experience in flying planes. Just a couple lessons in single engine planes. That was the first time he had ever flown a two engine plane. Yet, he handled it like a boss……sort of.
I love how John Cusack is at the exact spot that everything happens during the entire movie. Moral of the story is to stay away from John Cusack.
Just like you should never travel with Tom Hanks
I was thinking the opposite, buddy survived so I’m sticking with him and the camera man 😂

Because you feel your one of those people who never made it
The fake Arnold was hilarious 😂
I like your comment 😂😂😂
"Yeah I was a VFX artist for 2012" That has to be one of the biggest bragging rights in history
Keep your eyes open at 4:08 on the upper right of the screen. If you do, you’ll see a minivan do a jump on the freeway.
Good spot
Imagine a spin-off centered around the people in that minivan
4:37
Alright. Alright. I admit. The tires to silent echo to the level of the building collapse fake-out...alright. That was 100 AAA fantastic.
Even after all of these years, this scene never fails to impress me with the disaster scenes, despite over the top it can be sometimes.
The most unbelievable part of the sequence is them having a clear driving path to the airport without being stuck in endless traffic. Clearly the little girl must grow up to be Marvel's Domino with that uncanny luck.
Might be why they made it the Santa Monica Airport with its small runway and planes. If they had to get to LAX that's where they'd get stuck in traffic
7:13 this disaster has been going on for at LEAST a half an hour by now. In an earthquake, subway/light rail services immediately stop. In a scene full of unrealistic spectacle, this was the one that most stands out as absolutely absurd.
Yeah, it's almost like they were trying to entertain the audience rather than making a documentary.
You gotta admit the maneuver was badass
I was like “Where the fuck did that train come from” 😭
vrommmmmmmmmmmm
Watch this as a kid. I question myself if los angeles had subways?
I'm surprised that whole sequence didn't even earn an Oscar nom. But it did earn a Satellite award for Best Visual Effects and Sound Effects Editing
Fun Fact: None of these are special effects they just recorded a regular day in Los Angeles
Him driving to the airport is like one of the BEST missions ever made in a videogame where the world is being destroyed and you gotta make it to point B without dying
Shit looked absolutely MAJESTIC.
Props to the CGI crew and special effects. As a kid i couldn't really appreciate it. But now in my 20s i can see the sheer brilliance
Watching this scene now its hard to care about the protagonist when you really think about how many people died especially when you consider that you’d probably be one of those people on the falling highways or crushed in a buildings-
exactly. i kept watching the scene thinking of the absolute terror alot of those people died with. also at like 7:48 imagine being trapped THERE of all places on that severed road.
Gotta love a Roland Emmerich film, where the destruction and CGI is so over the top that it takes you out of the film
This came around the same time as avatar and imo this visually competes with 2012.
Even though this movie got a lot of hate for not being "realistic" it's still a CGI brilliance with the amount of destruction there is. The CGI team has my respect
Love the way this clip ends here, with the kids embracing each other, the brother protecting his sister
Watchinf this scene in the theatres was an experience i will NEVER forget.
This entire scene HAD to be tied in with a ride somewhere that never came to be
0:40 Thats Arnold Shwarzenegger xD "Unlike all the tough characters that I have portraited" xD hahahah
Meanwhile he was done being government a year before
This is the BEST disaster movie ever!!! I absolutely adore John Cusack!!
@01:16 most iconic line in 21'st century movies. Because it holds so much weight to how much we've been so lied to on a constant daily basis with mainstream media.
nothing new lol movies always portray media as incompetent

“Ok, we’re up!”
No my friend, you’re not up. The ground went down. 😂😂😂
I’m the little girl Lilly here. She’s crying watching the world around her fall apart. I’m crying because of how many people are actually dead. I’m a people lover. I wanna try and save as many lives as I can. Watching from the plane as people die is hard. People on the crumbling highway. The people in the buildings as they fall to the ground, dangling for their lives. All the screaming. This breaks my heart. I’m so glad my mom told me I couldn’t watch it 14 years ago when it came out. My 8 year old mind would have been traumatized. Now that I’m 22 I get it’s just a movie but I still wish they could’ve saved more lives.
The dumbest thing about the plot is that they probably could have saved most of humanity if they'd actually informed people and put them to work. Just imagine how many more arks could have been built if everyone knew their survival hinged on it, completely diverting all human effort towards preparation instead of keeping everyone unaware. Dumb, dumb writing.
@@BDNeon yeah, no. If you informed the world of such impending disaster all that it would do would cause chaos. And who decides who gets to go in the arks? Is everyone else just going to sit back and quietly accept their fate? It would be pure chaos. If anything like this were to ever happen in real life, rest assured they'd tell us nothing.
@@shaunsteele6926 can't imagine a Billion people go in panic when they know it
When it first came out, I never watched it because I would be freaking out about that it might actually happen in real life. But, it didn’t. I ended up watching the movie on the 10th anniversary of that infamous date.
Saw this in the theater when it came out. Was on the edge of my seat for every destruction scene
I see nobody in the comments talking about the poor old people
There is no better example of plot armor than this scene.
Someone had to survive otherwise it would’ve been a very short movie.
We need protagonist in every movie dude 😂
That driving sequence might be the most "I am him" moments oat LMFAO
Kudos to the team of film editors. The real geniuses behind this iconic scene.❤
7:28 - perfect reaction to more than just buildings collapsing in front of you
That is how roads and drivers are all the time in Northern Ontario.
Ohio*
Having been raised there, can confirm.
Some people call it rock crawling. I called it getting to work..............
Back in 1974 we had Charlton Heston and “Sensurround” (a kind of quadrophonic sound system). Today we have John Cusack and loads and loads of CGI.
One of the best Apocalyptic movie, In my opinion.
6:55 THATS RIGHT. SCREW YOU COMCAST!
That was strangely satisfying on several levels for several different reasons
while the story itself was meh, the CGI in this movie is so goddamn epic, a decade later and it aged like mighty fine wine
Edit: Lmao I love the tiny details in there, at 7:48 look closely at the bottom right corner of the screen and you can see emergency services still trying to extinguish a burning building, like what's the point haha
Can also see some on the other side the of the canyon, I guess you gotta start somewhere lol
I know people talk bad about this movie, but I honestly love it!
Yes

And to think I missed out on this gem at the theatre....
The part when the the cement truck hits the gas station and it makes that (dig dig). It cracks me up every time!😅 3:40
Words cannot describe how much this movie terrified me as a kid
I was 13 then and that was just a regular day same age as Noah
one of the best scenes of all time
this movie’s visuals are unmatched
Weird how the mom just sends the kids away right after they just witnessed what's undoubtedly life long trauma event an she didn't even console that poor girl
There is no time for pampering those kids when life is more important, nothing weird if you think rationally .
‘Rationally’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
To be fair she is a d****a*** mom to begin with from dismissing her husband, hiding and doing nothing at the house until he came and to top it off disregarding that they were in a disintegrating LA and said the pilot should take time to get ready like God DAMN I wanted yo slap her like crazy
