Hey! As a violinist, I had the honor of performing on the soundtrack to this film! Composed by Hans Zimmer protégé Nick Glennie-Smith and recorded at the legendary Paramount scoring Stage M, it was a fantastic project to work on. Have fun, everyone!
Nice work you all did!
Amazing work sir.. a master score
well sir, thank you very much for contributing to one EPIC sound track.
My favorite composer!
Well done, thank you.
Mason's backstory is set up for him to unofficially be Bond as a wink and a nod to the audience.
whats funny is that I have watched a video of the theory that he is james bond and the timeline actually matches up almost perfectly to allow it to happen.
@@jameslars7391 that it does I love and enforce the theory
@@jameslars7391 The most mind-blowing video I've ever watched.
@@jameslars7391 Yeah, he's intentionally supposed to be Bond in all but name. Like, you can imagine him having done all the things that Connery's Bond did, with the only difference being that he was caught and imprisoned at the end of Connery's tenure.
Pentex put out a great video on it
The Rock is a perfect sample of what old Hollywood used to be:
ENTERTAINING.
As a soldier and 100% disabled veteran who has buried many friends I completely understand hummel, how our government treats its veterans and their families is nothing short of criminal!
Same here I’m 100% disabled and it’s criminal how our government operates and misuses government funding and people. If people only knew.
That’s why the Twin Towers were hit cause our government thinks it’s above the law of everyone
I hate for the families of 9/11 but 9-11-2001 needed to happen for our so called government to be taken down a notch and Karma really is a bitch!!
When it comes to warfare, only the wealthiest at the top--the ones who are NOT doing the hard labor--come out clean. Every other soldier is left hanging in the wind. It is what it is. But until 100% of mankind simply NEVER picks up a weapon, never presses a button, and never agrees to trespass upon other people's lives... the system of doom and profit will continue. 💪😎✌️ Here's hopin' you get rich from it!
Yet, it’s treason.
RIP Sir Sean Connery (August 25, 1930 - October 31, 2020), aged 90
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Fun fact: in the original script, the dialogue for Nicolas Cage's character was loaded with f-bombs and other profanity. He decided since he was playing a geeky scientist, it would be more appropriate if his character didn't swear. So he replaced all of the curse words with improvised stuff like "gosh", "a-hole" and "Zeus' butthole". The only time he curses is at the end when he fights Captain Frye, as a way of showing how the experience has toughened him up.
As a geeky tech guy Cage was way off, we curse like drunken sailors.
Fun fact: Nicholas Cage always wanted to work with Sean Connery. Connery agreed to the film because he found out Cage would be in it and he was impressed with Leaving Las Vegas.
Cassie being the big sister....covering Carly's eyes. That made my day!
Cassie always has the "big sister" vibe when she's with Carly. You can tell they are very close.
@@adamcollazo822840:02 this scene alone is straight-up brutal....
Carly has the most beautiful and genuine smile on RUclips
That shower room massacre still gets to me everytime with the music, Hummel demanding that they cease fire, and poor Lt. Shepard, and it's some of Michael Biehn's best work.
Only thing is that Michael Biehn's character basically valued his mission over his men's lives.
To this day I have a VERY hard time watching that scene, might be one of the most powerful scenes in film history.
@@jp3813 Thats not a negative. They're marines there to do a job and his men's lives would have been a risk even in surrender, and he didn't order them to start shooting either.
@@Lakrimoz I believe the military code is that surrender is allowed if certain death is the only alternative. Hummel was all about protecting soldiers' lives even during their theft of the rockets. Hence, he informed Anderson that none of his men have to die.
@@jp3813 And was Hummel in control the whole time? They were domestic terrorists, no longer a military unit - Hummel wouldn't have killed them but clearly a good portion of his men were rouge, he couldn't even command them to cease firing.
Nic Cage was on fire in the 90s with action flicks. The Rock, Con Air, Face Off, all great movies.
I think this movie turned Nicolas Cage into an action hero. He did many action movies after this movie.
Gone in 60 Seconds
This is the best of the three
@@BennyH11 I agree. Face Off was a little cheesy but still enjoyable, and I really liked Con Air, mainly because I like John Malkovich in anything he’s in. But The Rock is a damn near perfect action movie. Definitely Michael Bay’s best work.
@@docproc144 Spot on there
When Michael Biehn was having that badass speech as a SEAL commander he was actually nervous just because Sean Connery was gonna be in front him. But he always delivers. Some theories say that Sean Connery actually is James Bond in this movie. It all fits!
I though he said it was because there where actual SEALs mixed in with the actors.
it was having that speech in front of the real navy seals that caused Biehn to freeze up.. to make matters worse - michael bay lost his shit and started screaming his lines at him off camera like a drill sergeant and Biehn was just repeating them. it was humiliating.
"What kind of f'ed up tour is this"
Gets me every time.
Me too 😂
Tour's over Bob.
Bob (park ranger) : [while in a cell on Alcatraz] I'm not allowed to carry a gun!
Female Tourist : Oh you're not allowed to carry a gun? I got a goddamned gun! If I'd'a known this was gonna happen, I'd'a brought my mother-fuckin' gun! Help!
This movie has somehow been forgotten and it's a travesty! It just is so great, the action, the music, and Connery basically playing Bond himself 30 years later is just an added touch :D
You'll never convince me that The Rock isn't the last official Connery James Bond film. It literally all adds up if you watch the video thst explains it on RUclips from a few years ago. It ALL ADDS UP
@@brianmcmaster5112 That video explanation is SO GOOD. I'm with you 100%.
Ur so right
How is it forgotten when this has been requested for movie reactions many times? It's even part of the Nicolas Cage 90s action trilogy (Con Air & Face/Off), and is widely considered as Michael Bay's best film.
because it's a shit movie that makes no sense on any level. only the most braindead people would think this movie is good.
One of my favorite guilty pleasures!!
RIP Sean Connery! You worked so well with Nicolas Cage!
Oh, I didn't know he passed 😢
Naaaaah, it’s not a guilty pleasure. It’s legit one of the best action flicks in American cinema history. 😄
May he rest in peace
Why the guilt?
@@TheMan21892 don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a great movie overall like 10/10
Loved Sean Connery so much! Fun fact about his accent. In Bond, he did a British-esque accent and this movie is his actual Scottish accent. He was known for having a weird Scottish accent too because he moved around different areas of Scotland and ended up with a blended accent.
Thanks so much for watching this one! The Rock, Con Air and Face/Off all add up to the Holy Trinity of Nic Cage action movies, in my personal opinion. They’re all fantastic! If you get the chance to watch either of the other two, please do so, thanks and enjoy!
Agreed
Agreed.
Agreed
Well I couldn't get behind the premise of Face Off, so allow me to substitute Leaving Las Vegas for my three.
Snake Eyes and 8mm are 2 very underrated Nic Cage movies
+1 for Demolition Man! its such a fun movie and its crazy how well it has aged given today's culture...freakin EPIC
Don't tell them about the three seashells.
And Commando next….
Add another vote. Demolition Man is a great movie.
Yes i saw it on tv
Every time I watch it I wish Wesley Snipes would do movies again
The Rock is probably one of the top 20 best 90s actions movies. The fact 3 heavy hitters of their time and at their prime all together with an intersecting story is some damn good writing
One of my favourite films ever.
Nicolas Cage at his most restrained, with the possible exception of The Family Man, Connery at his most Connery and Ed Harris being his best self.
And that supporting cast, David Morse, Michael Biehn, John C McGinley, Danny Nucci, John Spencer... its just so awesome
In addition, Tony Todd, aka the Candyman.
Even Steve Harris with what one line that is made to stick.
Private McCoy: I'll take pleasure in guttin' you, boy!
I agree with your take on Nicolas Cage. Here he is Stanley, the young Nic Cage version of a man who is normally confident in his line of work. Yet he is vulnerable as he learns he is is going to be a father and is then thrown into the kind of mission he has little experience in. Stanley also shows his decency as he works with the larger than life Mason played by Sean Connery. I think Stanley is one of Cage's most appealing performances as an action hero.
This movie is peak 90s action, you should definitely get around to watching Face/Off, Con Air, Broken Arrow as well
ConAir !00%
Nothing makes me sadder than the agent lost his bladder on the aiiirplane
Face/Off is like, Nic Cage's magnum opus. The perfect balance of cool/badass, and batshit crazy, lol.
EDIT: I should've added a movie or two of my own, lol. Gone in 60 Seconds, and Kick-Ass, lol.
Add Hard Rain, Executive Decision, Backdraft, Heat, and Deep Blue Sea
Face/Off is horrible. One of the dumbest movies EVER.
Air Force One! ☝🏻
“WELCOME TO THE ROCK!”
So glad you watched this film. One of Michael Bay’s best. Full on action but didn’t quite get into live action cartoon like some of his later films.
I'd say easily Bay's best, which perhaps is not saying much. But The Rock is legitimately good.
Like Armageddon for example, I cringed at nearly every scene in that one 😬😖
Bay is usually at his best with his "Original" stuff. Meaning when it isnt a preestablished IP that he has to work around the rules of.
@@memnarch129 Not saying otherwise, But with Armageddon it feels like Bay is competing to out Bay themselves lol... Everything is pushed so far into the chesey and ridiculous as to be well over the horizon of my ability to suspend disbelief lol...
Sean Connery saying " Welcome to the Rock" was one of my favorite movie memories!!
Hans Zimmer score is just outstanding. Great movie. One of my all time favourite
The bar is low, but this is Michael Bay's best by a mile. A masterclass in action moviemaking. Con Air and Face/Off complete the Nic Cage 90s action holy trinity.
I would argue 13 Hours is. By a mile.
Bad Boys for me
This and to a lesser degree Armageddon for me. Michael Bay is about entertainment rather than logic - a true popcorn director. Full-speed sci-fi like Armageddon was something special when it came out. Again, it is a dumb action movie, but it has more heart than other movies (like for example the extremely overrated Mad Max: Fury Road). The Rock is his best well rounded movie. Bad Boys were fine movies, but really nothing we hadn't seen before.
Haven't seen 13 Hours yet, so can't comment on that. I guess it is worth a watch? Is it pure eye-candy or does it also have heart?
@@fastertove "but it has more heart than other movies" Armageddon vs Deep Impact.
Lotta people might've chose Deep Impact back in the day but after a few years or a decade plus Armageddon does standout more because it was more entertaining.
@@jayeisenhardt1337 I know, I've seen Deep Impact a couple of times back when it was new, but I can't really remember much about it. It didn't leave a lasting impression for some reason, which is a little weird since I'm usually a fan of sci-fi and the space theme - that includes the slow pasted ones like Moon and 2010... Might simply be due to how they marketed the movies here. Or me being a teen at the time.
I see now why this is seen as a lost/secret Bond film. Watching it that way, even if unintended at the time, makes this an even more enjoyable film.
It was intended slyly
It totally fits the Connery Bond timeline, too! Imagine if the whole shared cinematic universe thing had been big around the end of the 90s, we could’ve seen multiple Bonds joining in to save the world from an epic threat! Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton and Brosnan all at once! Mass hysteria!
@@Daveyboy100880 Doesn't quite fit the Bond timeline. James Bond was a commander in the Royal Navy, but Mason is explicitly stated to be Army.
@@mightyrobot42 Very true, but we can get around it by saying that only the “Bond” persona was Navy. Mason himself was Army before he joined MI6 and became James Bond (that must’ve rankled a bit, but anything for Queen and Country!). When he got caught, he gave his real name and rank and branch of service. Really starting to stretch the concept there, but it’s fun to play with it!
@@mightyrobot42 It does fit the Connery Bond Timeline quite well. go check the video out from Pentex Productions "The Rock is DEFINITELY a James Bond Movie"
The Demolition Man is creepily prophetic.
I love that part at the end too when Goodspeed says Mason was vaporized, and the other guy says “ poor bastard,” with a wry smile.. I always love those knowing the score moments..
I've always loved how how this movie, without ever saying it, implies that Connery's character in this IS a version of James Bond. It's great that he had so much panache and secret agent "street cred" that just being in the movie implies this whole long great back story for the viewer to lock in to the story. If you've got it, use it I guess? FWIW....
Whether you're good it or not, Sean Connery is -- hands down -- one of the MOST fun impressions to do. I love that it took y'all hearing about 4 of his dialogue lines to start.
One of my favorite 90s action flicks. The humor is perfect in this movie. You didnt notice the lead Seal member was Reece from Terminator. He pops up in movies here and there.
Michael Biehn - not only Kyle Reece in "The Terminator", but also Corporal Hicks in "Aliens".
The man's a proper action movie legend.
@@benjaminjonathanjamessisko7095 And asshole Lt Coffey in the Abyss lol
@Benjamin Jonathan James Sisko Archer Tiberius Kirk
Don't forget his crazy badguy turn in 'The Abyss' aswell. He was one of the early James Cameron regulars.
@@eddielong8663 Yes and he and Harris were both in that movie. That helped create the tension in the shower room scene. They could really scream at each other.
ed harris is really something else, I can't imagine anyone else playing his character, he has such an intensity and purpose, he really gets in character, and of course nick cage and connery are fantastic as usual and have such charisma in everything they do, michael bay has had his moments, definitely his best film
One of the best action movies of the 90s, one of the best ever. Also, one of Nick Cage’s best. This came out when I was in high school and I joined the Air Force shortly after. We would watch this every weekend.
Nick Cage was crushing it in the 90s, this, Con Air, Face/Off, all great action movies.
This is hands down one of the best action films of all time. The way this script flows in the various action beats is near perfect. Sean Connery, Nic Cage, and Ed Harris are great in their roles, not to mention a prime Vanessa Marcil and Michael Biehn. Of course, Hans Zimmer hits the score out of the park.
bay is the king of goofy action romps
Indeed
you said it brother
Love Zimmer but Harry Gregson-Williams and Nick Glennie-Smith helped make it the masterpiece it is. Zimmer did The Peacemaker score not long after this and it was incredibly meh.
The soundtrack from this movie is one of the absolute best out there and has stuck with me most of my life. unforgettable :)
This is in my humble opinion THE best action movie of all time. It has everything - amazing actors, one of the best soundtracks of all time, good pace, just the right amount of humour and tension, and of course great and over the top action scenes.
IMHO Sean Connery, Ed Harris and Nicholas Cage were perfectly casted for this great action movie.
Please consider checking out "Family Man" with Nick Cage; it's one of my all-time favorite movies!
👏Cassie and Carly would love that movie! Hope they haven't already seen it....
Michael Biehn too.
"Family Man" was a great movie. I own the DVD but have not seen that movie since the Theater I don't think. (I shall watch it) Would love to see you two react to or just watch it and I believe you will enjoy it if you do.
And Wild at Heart….
Raising Arizona
Best part of this reaction (for me) was at 40:00 (40:04) when Cassie protects Carly, Cassie using her hand to shield Carly from seeing the "Rocket Man" impaled from his fall as she says "Don't look!" and they both go "OHHHH" together in unison with Carly giving us the PIB tag line; "Oh my gosh!". LOL! Loved that so much!
I noticed that too, it was sweet seeing her protect her sister on instinct.
The sweetest and cutest thing.
I was just gonna comment this lol. Highly amusing :D
For sure, makes wish there were more women like this in the world 🥰🥰
Absolutely! It was truly delightful to watch.
Excellent reaction! I just love the two of you together. I'm surprised you didn't recognize Michael Biehn, who played Commander Anderson in this movie as playing Reese in The Terminator who turned out to be John Conner's father of course. The Rock had such great character actors in it. William Forsythe, David Morse, Gregory Sproleder, John C. McGinley, John Spencer, and Tony Todd. I can't wait for your next reaction. Keep up the great work!
30:57 "Indiana Johnes style" - "Yeah, I was thinking more like Snow White and the seven dwarfs, but that too." 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you want another great but underrated Connery action movie where he has the fun expert/mentor dynamic but with a lady, I highly recommend "Entrapment" with Catherine Zeta Jones💜💜💜
Love "Entrapment" - what a great film!
And let's not forget " Hunt for Red October"!
I think the girls would love 'Entrapment'.
Entrapment is great. Catherine was in her prime then
General hummel is one of the most sympathetic villains in an action film.
Ehh I’m a vet and he went a little off the deep end lol
@@SushiBandit28 Agreed. Even if he didn't intend to kill anyone he recruited a squad of psychos who would have.
I was lucky enough to stay on Alcatraz overnight as a Boy Scout back in the early 90s. We stayed on the first floor of Cell Block D, the area where Cage and Connery are kept in the scene at around 34:52. Mine was the 2nd or 3rd cell from the far left corner. I also live about an hour away from San Francisco, and go there to hike whenever I have free time. So whenever they use the city in movies, I always go back and see what details, inaccuracies, etc. I can find. The Rock is one of my favorite 90's action movies, so I've had plenty of opportunities to go through it in detail. About half of that car chase doesn't even take place in San Francisco (those parts are split between Los Angeles and San Pedro), and what does involves some awkward backtracking and going in the opposite directions what what's being described. They were never even once on California Street.
I mentioned that in the live chat when this video premiered, and someone made fun of me for analyzing a fictional car chase. So I'll reiterate what I said there: There's a 1968 movie called Bullitt that starred Steve McQueen and featured a famous car chase in San Francisco, and with real driving stunts (and in one case improvised) done by McQueen itself. It was the first car chase of its kind in films, iconic, and set a high standard that most others have only come close to reaching. It may not have been a flashy spectacle like The Rock, but it was far more dangerous, and its continuity holds up when mapped out. The only thing that makes sense in The Rock's car chase is that Connery to drive from cable car explosion at Jones & Pacific Avenues on Russian Hill to the Palace of Fine Arts in only a few minutes.
Other notes: Stenson Drive doesn't exist in San Francisco. Jade's house is on West 37th Street in San Pedro. The FBI mobile command center is shown to be situated at a warehouse on Pier 39. In reality, Pier 39 is a heavily developed shopping center and tourist trap in Fisherman's Wharf. Judging by the camera perspective and the layout of San Francisco's piers, those establishing shots were taken on Pier 23, looking southeast (as in, opposite direction from Alcatraz) towards the Bay Bridge. You can see Piers 19, 17, 15, and 9, with the distinctive Pier 7 walkway jutting out a little further than the others in the distance. Given that Pier 19 was converted from a warehouse to a parking garage, it's most likely the place where the command center scenes were really filmed. Also, Pier 17 was recently made the location of the Swiss consulate, and the Exploratorium was relocated to the renovated Pier 15 in 2013. Also, the stadium shown in the missile launch was actually Candlestick Park, which was far south. The Oakland Coliseum is to the east and relatively close to Alcatraz.
This reaction is a great example of how a non-critically-acclaimed, non-award-winning FAN-FAVORITE can stand the test of time! The Rock is more than an action movie, it's a CLASSIC!
AND SHOUT OUT TO FUZION FRENZY!!!
this is Michael Bay's masterpiece Imo, it also seems to be like an epilogue to Sean Connery's portrayal of 007 if you think about it, he was a secret agent working for the Brits got discovered and thrown into jail, anyways its always been a pleasure of mine, this movie is just so fun! Both Nick Cage and Connery have soooo much chemistry together.
Mid 80s and 90s had some of the best action movies ever made. They had this perfect blend of campy action and seriousness at same time. They knew what they were doing and just made to be just fun and adrenaline rushed. So many good movies to check out if you enjoyed this, Con Air is another Nicholas Cage master piece that I think will love the good guy story. Also The Rock one of the best sound tracks.
Gotta include the early 80s to that era due to the likes of First Blood, Conan the Barbarian, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Road Warrior, Escape from New York, 48 Hrs, Project A, etc...
They got worse when studios pushed for tamer PG-13 action movies so they could get kids and families in the theater as well. Old 80s/90s action movies would always have that one scene with a boob flash. Miss those days lol.
@@evanshall There are a number of great PG-13 action movies: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, GoldenEye, The Fugitive, The Mask of Zorro, The Fifth Element, The Mummy (1999), Master and Commander, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, many Jackie Chan films, etc...
Finally people are getting around to this movie 🍿 🎥 one of the best movies ever made. I saw this in theatres back in ‘96
"DONT LOOK!" - haha such a big sister move. Quality
30:57 "That's Indiana Jones style... Yeah, I was thinking Snow White & the 7 Dwarves, but that too."
You ladies always have some historical line that I will always remember every time I think of a movie after watching your reactions & I love it.
I probably laughed more at Carly's response than I should have, love the commentary these two contribute. I'll never be able to watch this movie again without laughing at that scene lol
This was one of my grandfathers favorite movies. We still have the VHS tape he had of it. One of my favorite movies ever since.
My friends and I grew up watching this. We've all literally seen it like 50+ times. Glad y'all enjoyed it!
The rock, damn, what a fun action movie. This was in fact THE movie that made me fall in love with Hanz Zimmer music and to think I was just a clueless teenager at the time. I doubt he was even popular at the time and yet that effortless epic journey of a soundtrack immediately gripped me to the core, bedazzled me and stuck within me for all those years, after watching it in the cinemas. I was only made even happier when he has been recognized in the last decade, finally with all his music contributions in movie osts. What an absolute legend. And to think this was 27 years ago.
Sean Connery is a literal god here, as he always was. Ed Harris performance was also beyond memorable.
He has made some awesome things. Just a shame he sometimes goes on autopilot.
Fun fact: the lead F-18 pilot is played by Jim Caviezel (Edmond in the Count of Monte Cristo); this was early in his career.
Heavily underrated actor that one....
Something something prom queen.
"I WILL NOT GIVE THAT ORDER!"
My favorite line.
What a great film! I quote this film with my friends all the time like a crazy person lol
30:29 I love that when the VX capsules are exposed, Goodspeed gets calm and Mason gets scared. Chemicals are his specialty and battlefield. Just shows there are all types of bravery.
I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your Sean Connery journey since the Hunt for Red October 🥰
I dunno why but cage and Connery seem like such an unlikely pairing but in this movie they just work so well together it’s amazing
Despite being 66 years old at the time, Sean Connery did a good number of his own stunts in this movie. Including the scene where he and Nic Cage swam underwater with flames burning above them. In his youth Connery had been both a boxer and an aspiring bodybuilder and over the years, he kept in excellent shape.
"Matchstick Men". A really underrated, but really good. Nick Cage flick.
This IS the film that made me a fan of Nic Cage and Ed Harris. Perfect casting!
If you like Ed Harris, his role in Just Cause shows another side.
Crazy how underrated he is
Same, I loved Ed Harris in this one, and had more respect for him overall after I saw this👍
Carly winking and talking about her “squinty eyes” literally made my day 😂 so adorable haha
PS- I think you two would LOVE Dragonheart!
This was my favorite action movie growing up and it still holds up. Definitely Michael Bay's best film.
Not sure if anyone commented or you guys noticed, but the SEAL team commander was played by Michael Biehn, aka: Johnny Ringo from Tombstone.
I remember watching this in theaters when it first came out, and I knew this film was an iconic movie experience. You can feel the energy in theater the audience enjoying the ride of this film. They don’t make films like this anymore, unless you have a remnant figure from that era like Tom Cruise.
Great reaction ladies! Sean Connery is an icon! Steven Speilberg once said there was no other actor who could ever have played Indiana Jones' Dad! 😁
The strange thing is that he wasn't actually old enough to be his dad. Connery was only 12 years older than Ford.
@@Rocket1377 that's actually physically old enough.
Not pleasant but still capable.
@@system3008 I don't think we're supposed to think he fathered Indy when he was twelve.
Mason played by Sir Thomas Sean Connery (born August 25, 1930 - died October 31, 2020) was a Scottish actor. He was the first actor to portray fictional British secret agent James Bond on film, starring in seven Bond films between 1962 and 1983.[1][2][3] Connery originated the role in Dr. No (1962) and continued starring as Bond in the Eon Productions From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967) and Diamonds Are Forever (1971). Connery made his final appearance in the franchise in Never Say Never Again (1983), a non-Eon-produced Bond film. He was in 72 movies.
I love that Carly has basically gone from being a beloved recurring character to a main costar on this channel 😅😆
Loved Cage's character in this movie. "I meant it at the time" = hilarious. "It wasn't mine" :) Womack was so mad: "You wrecked half the city" I'm dying laughing.
Hope you recognized the guy playing the Navy SEAL commander. It's Michael Biehn, who played Kyle Reese in the Terminator (and Corporal Hicks in Aliens). He was a popular choice to play military characters in the late-80s and 90s. He's played a Navy SEAL in several other films, as well.
He was also Jonny Ringo in Tombstone, which you watched.
Great actor
Including his also playing Lt. Coffee, the SEAL team leader who gets HPNS in 'The Abyss'..
Michael biehn is the lead seal, he also plays the lead seal in The Abyss, and kyle reese in the Terminator. He played alot of military movies back in the 80s n 90s
Rest in peace Sir Sean Connery 🇬🇧🙏🏻 an eternal legend of the silver screen! this movie is one of the greatest action films ever made period and hands down Bay’s best work!
This is my all-time favorite action movie. Everything from the acting to the music just oozes the best of 90s action blockbusters.
Hanz Zimmer and Harry Gregson Williams are amazing composers 👏 especially for movies like this
this is my favorite movie reaction channel because you seem genuine and you don't talk too much or interrupt too much during the movie. and there's no annoying fake laughter like a certain other channel that got old really quick.
I remember this one. I actually won tickets from a radio contest to see The Rock. Liked it quite a lot. Granted, I was 19 at the time.
The best thing about this film is that it seems like a crossover event of three different movies individually starring Cage, Connery, and Harris. Their characters each have enough interesting backstories to carry their own prequels.
Good observation. Each of those characters could star as the lead, but having them as secondary characters makes the movie more interesting.
@@frannydai They are all primary characters. Well, perhaps Hummel can be categorized as a supporting character since Goodspeed and Mason are the protagonists.
While you predicted Connery/bond would be the SAS operative. There is actually some fan theories that this actually was written as Connery was Bond, the timeline of his backstory would even fit with events from the bond films he was in.
Still arguably my favorite action movie -- it's just perfectly fun
I love the headcanon that Connery's character is actually his James Bond, imprisoned under a different name and forgotten...
One of my favorite Sean Connery stories is from Sam Neil who played in "The Hunt for Red October" with Sean Connery. (No spoliers) Sam described Sean's famous Scottish accent and explained that no matter how many vocal coaches tutors or practice could hide the accent, especially when Connery was supposed to sound Russian. Finally Sean got fed up. He looked at the director and said (in angry Scottish)
"You don't understand! I'm Sean Fucking Connery! You'll hire an entire Scottish crew SO I'LL BLEND IN!"
This along with being an excellent movie, in my humble opinion has to be a top 3 all time duo reaction from you two throughout the entire movie. I so enjoyed watching and listening to you. Just two memorable examples off the top of my head. Cassie, ”Indiana Jones style” Carly “I was thinking Snow White and the 7 dwarfs but that too.” Then at the end when that man is skewered and you both look away but not long enough and you quickly cover her eyes telling her not to look. That was such a loving thing to do. This is from someone who cannot talk while being filmed and hates having her picture taken, you two are phenomenal on camera. Oh, I did a search you were correct, Sean Connery was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Just finished the Patreon early release. Your guys reaction to the bad guy getting skewered was precious & hilarious 🤣. Love that you watched this 🙌🏾
The Rocket Man!
41:24 looks like "speak no evil", "see no evil". 😂
Fun fact about Sean Connery, he had the same accent in every movie he was ever in, it was part of the Connery charm, He Played an accent Egyptian, a Russian submarine commander, An Irish-American detective, and always had the same accent, the only movie that shows he was actually Scottish was The Rock, they find out in the movie on a computer he was born in Glasgow.
Yes! You finally got to this one! One of my favorites of all time and one of Zimmer's best soundtracks IMO (and that says a lot). So many great lines in this movie and a story that really makes the viewer to challenge their pre-conceptions of who the 'good guys' and 'bad guys' are.
This and Crimson Tide, which also was scored by Zimmer.
You do realize this is a stealth Bond movie, right 😉 ?
Great movie and great reaction 😁
Thank you for this. I watched this in the theater back in September 1996 and it still holds up today.
To be fair, The Rock would've absolutely been in The Rock had The Rock been at the stage in his career where we could all smell what The Rock was cooking in his Hollywood career at that point. In fact, he later did a Bruckheimer movie with Pain and Gain after he stepped back from wrestling. But if The Rock was in The Rock we may never gotten action movie Nick Cage and that would've been a tragedy for everyone. Because an over the top, big budget action movie is where A Nicholas Cage outburst makes the most logical sense. And he probably needed a good energetic pick me up after Leaving Las Vegas. Anyways classic 90's action...and was huge at the time. Always remember the cable car explosion fondly. Excellent reaction. Cassie and Carly's giggles have their own box office draw. 💖
This was my favorite movie growing up and I had it on VHS. I’ve probably watched it 20 times.
Be kind please rewind
I think my favorite Sean Connery movie is still The Last Crusade with Harrison Ford. It had a good blend of humor and intelligence, adventure and emotion. The Hunt For Red October was also quite good and Connery was good in everything, like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Michael Bein was in this as the head of the seal team, sees like he always gets killed. He was in the first Terminator with Sara Connor and also the second Aliens movie with Sig Weaver and lately he was killed by the Mandalorian. He was also killed by Val KILLmore in Tombstone... he was a huckleberry.
I saw all of this connery movies
Yeah michael biehn as commander anderson in his argue with hummel character until he is killed with this epic violins of hans zimmer and nick glennie smiyh
ooooooh, huckleberry!! Yessss, yess, I didnt recognize him there because of that moustache and outfit, THANKS!!
I don't know which of his movies is my favorite, but when I think of him I think "I AM the lasht one!"
@mage1439 yes!!! Sean Connery as Draco will always have my heart!!
That moment where everyone goes "Aha, Indiana Jones!" and she went with "The seven dwarves in Snow White" - That's when I realised:
Carly is a GENIUS!!
29:44
Death by Air-Conditioning Unit! Straight-up BRUTAL!!!
"Tied" with "Demolition Man"? Awesome. Can't wait for that one. You're gonna love the dynamics between the main characters.
Sean Connery giving us his last "Bond" like performance, Nick Cage "rocks" , it . . The rest of the cast, director, soundtrack killed it. "IT was so well put together. . " yes Cassie, yes. . .
I LOVED y'all's reaction, Cassie! I'd seen this one when it first came out, but don't remember ANYTHING about it. So y'all made it new again for me. Thank you both.
"I was thinking Snow White and the seven dwarfs, but that too!" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣‼...great reaction!
I have never been more pleasantly surprised by one of your reaction choices.
Connery and Cage at their best. This is classic action/adventure. I absolutely love this film.
This is my favourite action movie ever made! I was obsessed with this movie when I was a kid. I always used to watch parts of the movie before I went to school. Infact, me and my brother watched it so many times that parts of the VHS tape got worn out.
18:02 I love this scene 🤣
The National Treasure films are genuinely great. Just super solid, fun family entertainment.
Also if I remember correctly they intentionally hinted that Sean Connery's character was essentially a form of Bond after his 007 movies.
As discussed in another comment, there's a video on RUclips where someone PROVES Mason is James Bond, and the RUclipsr even has a timeline that works with James Bond's life from Dr. No to Diamonds Are Forever. It's pretty mind-blowing.
@@randallwright1973 Alcatraz closed in 1963. Him being Bond doesn't work out at all with that time frame.
