I really hope this post was sarcastic (it's difficult to tell in a purely text-based medium). Because the idea that that theory is mindblowing in 2020 is a little..... well, you know. 😬
Love the fan theory that Sean Connery in this film is James Bond who got captured in the 60s. It fits in really well to the code name theory of James bond. Also, I’m fairly certain hideo Kojima has said that the look of snake on the box art for metal gear WAS based on Michael Beihn, who played the marine in this and also hicks in aliens and reese in terminator
There's an actual production photo of Beihn from Terminator that they used as a basis for the Metal Gear Box art (slightly different clothing but same pose.)
It's not really a fan theory as it was something the movie was going for. Obviously they couldn't use James Bond name, but yeah, that's why they did it.
@@TheRealAlpha2 Ya, all those early Konami games were based on movies, like Castlevania on Horror movies and Jean Paul Belmondo. Or Contra and Commando+Rambo+Aliens.
Juan Isidro Acevedo oh, ok. I didn’t know they were specifically going for James Bond in the film. I just thought it was a bit of a 4th wall breaking wink to the audience to have Sean Connery be such a James bondish character
It’s a fascinating movie with a great cast. And Nic doing THE WORST attempt at a Southern accent I’ve ever heard: “Ah mith mah dotta.” Even thinking about it gives me the giggles 😂
...which made absolutely no sense. It means when he broke out he didn't have to go through the fire but just open the door ;) I still love the movie though.
@@Yelnats87 Really?? It's one of his best known roles and you guys wondering about the obvious shit?? The actor mostly played military types and was known for that: Terminator, Aliens, Navy Seals, The Rock. Those movies along with Tombstone are his best known roles.
You forgot to mention the music. Hanz Zimmer's main theme for this is one of his best! Though the majority of the score is composed by Nick Glennie-Smith.
Hans Zimmer's theme for The Rock is one of the best in movie history! So damn emotional! Might be my second favourite behind John Williams Jurassic Park theme!
I finally watched this from start to finish on Netflix a few years back, after having heard a buddy of mine talk about it all the time. This was AFTER the TF movies and Bay becoming a punchline. Genuinely enjoyed it. Even the car chase scene, as gratuitous and Micheal Bay-esque as it was, feels so much more forgivable than his later movies. You get the feeling from this movie that he either stopped giving a shit years ago, or had the right group of peers to reign in his worst instincts and chisel him into the right guy making the right movie at the right time. George Lucas style.
Cujo finally somebody mentioned it... the soundtrack of this movie is one of the most raciest and thrilling that i have experienced... on par with the dark knight soundtrack atleast for me...
13 Hours, Pain & Gain, and Bad Boys II are great. The Island is dope as fuck. Armageddon and The Rock are essential 90s action flicks. I think Bay is the shit, gets a lot of crap and yeah not all of his films are perfect but he’s still entertaining as hell.
This was my favorite movie when I was younger. I didn't realize it was a Michael Bay movie and I agree it is his best. Interesting point about the villains and how we lack that conflict in modern movies.
My niece was so addicted to this movie that she watched it at least 11 times. I think I’ve seen it with her about six times. I really didn’t have a choice. Have you ever watched a movie so many times that certain dramatic scenes start making you giggle? That’s what happened to us. We absolutely lost it at “well, alrighty then!” BTW: We both still love this movie.
Ikr? 90s had some awesome music, stars, movies, athletes, games and everything hehe, I remember loving the ID4 making of video on HBO with Jeff Goldblum's character David Levinson being on camera running around in Area 51, that was awesome. :)
To this day, The Rock remains one of the best and most remarkable action films of the 90 's. Ed Harris performed such a fantastic role where you don't approve of his actions, but you can definitely understand why he feels that this need to be done. I was actually rooting for him from time to time, the first few times i saw this film. Though Sean Connery should sorta feel out of place in a 'murican Bay-splosions Extravaganza, as the movie unfolds you begin to see the awesomeness of his character, plus he has the best humoristic scenes in here. Nicolas Cage was in his golden prime when he did these types of movies, as this expert who has to keep his shit together to get the job done. Easier said than done at this point. What else is there to say than that this was Bay at his best, besides Bad Boys. Everytime this movie rolls by, i still take the time to watch it. Such an absolute over-the-top yet fantastic thrill-ride!
I didn’t mind the chase scene, especially with that exciting music. Also, I wonder if the brief dialogue Connery had w/ Harris helped deter him from launching the rockets into the civilian population. I like Harris so much as that honorable villain.
Kyle Reese in Terminator Hicks in Aliens The Abyss And the rock Three of which are James Cameron movies which suggests that He loves Beihn And they all die
I was 13 in 1998, when Santa Claus celebrated my lord and savior Nicolas Cage by leaving The Rock, Face/Off and Con Air VHS tapes under the Christmas Tree. This was two years after mom and dad divorced. These movies were my father figures. Thanks for bringing back some awesome memories, Jeremy. (...well, not the divorce) Oh, and thanks Mom / Santa. Edit: Also, just realized that maybe being exposed as a teenager to these movies (especially The Rock) may have had a real impact on my impressionable teenage brain. Similar to Jeremy, I also got into the Beatles and vinyl LP's. Also thought those jets that nearly bombed Alcatraz were the coolest... now I'm an engineer who works on the newest version of those F/A-18's. Thanks, The Rock. Stay in school, kids. And go to prom. P.S. Couldn't stop gawking like an idiot when touring Alcatraz a few years ago. They really should create an alternative version of the audio tour that just talks about this movie while you're there.
@@isaiahhighley8959 Thanks, dude. I get what psycold is getting at though... my dad did indeed leave my mom because of her amazing taste in movies. Legit though, these movies were the best.christmas.presents.ever. Holy trinity indeed. Can't wait to hear Jeremy's take on Con Air.
@RicoRoyal no problem dude, from the way you described it, those movies would be an epic Christmas present. Also, Con Air is an amazing movie, I also wanna see Jeremy’s review of it
The Rock is one of my favorite movies of all time, even though I despise all other Bay movies. And another thing that made the movie even better for me after the fact was the fan theory of Sean Connery's character being the old James Bond.
I remember seeing this in the theater in the summer of 96. One of the funnest times at the movies ever! Still holds up great. 90s action movies are the best.
Me too, he used to do that back in the day, he reviewed Alien, Aliens, The Crow and From Dusk till Dawn to name a few, I miss him doing reviews of older movies. I'm glad that he & Chris Stuckmann have been doing that. I hope he reviews ID4 & the Blade films soon. :)
Next is Con Air xD oh man everyone get ready for that rollercoaster ride lol Hey Jeremy Jahns, I know it’s a bit of a departure from the kinds of movies you usually review here but could you do a review of When Harry Met Sally? It’s just such a good under-appreciated movie xD
I loved this movie back in the day, you can color me surprised when I was old enough to appreciate that this was directed by Michael Bay. My respect for the movie grew even more...not my respect for Bay, but more for the actors who were able to keep this being such a balanced and fantastic movie. Lesser actors with the dialog and chemistry may of came off as plane, hokey or just not good but the ones in this movie are fantastic. I even love the fantastically over the top characters like the black military guy and his knife, such a hilarious scene.
austen jones I don’t really know if call him a villain. Very misguided yes. Spoilers ahead Remember he told the school trip to go home and in the end he couldn’t go through with firing the rockets on civilians which lead to his death when most soldiers turned against him.
@@eddieanderson9399 That nobody, is Jeremy Wick. He was an associate of ours. We called him, Movieyaga. The movie man? Well Jeremy wasn't exactly the movie man. He was the one you sent to review the fucking movie man. I once saw him review three movies in a bar, with a pencil. With a fucking pencil.
I love what you're doing. I dunno if you've always done older movies since the start of your channel, but ive noticed thst the old movie reviews happened a lot since quarantine started. Anyways, its nice to get the 80s 90s growing up feels when you do these! Thanks brah
LOL, man, I was waiting the whole review for Jeremy to bring up that scene lol, he quoted it in another review video, I can't remember which one it was. But that scene's always been one of my favorites. Tony Todd is such an underrated & awesome actor. :)
Just watched this for the first time and I had a blast. Not quite Equilibrium or Terminator 2 but definitely one of the best action movies I've ever seen. Great script great cast and Bay in his element. 9.5/10
Would you review "Train to Busan"? It is one of my favourites and one of the best zombie movies ever! I think you would really like it! Love the video!
This must be in my Top 10 Most Watched Films Of All Time. I absolutely adore this movie. If it wasn't approaching 12:30am where I am, I would watch it again right now! 🙂
I am freaking flabbergasted that you didn’t mention Hans Zimmers score! This movie set up the tone of all of Zimmers music of the 2000’s. You can hear sections of Pirates of the Caribbean and The Dark Knight Saga in some of the lead-ins. Aside from that, great review. Totally agree it’s Bay’s best movie.
This movie is how a Metal Gear movie should be done, also the shower scene that inspired a level of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was very cool, as always great review Jeremy, stay safe.
He might be one of the best cinematographers ever... and it translates to good directing when the (story, characters, performances, editing, etc) are on the same level. But they rarely are :(
Since we are talking about Nicolas Cage, you should do a review for the original gone in 60 seconds but make sure you watch the original soundtrack, look it up on RUclips.
He was exploring his craft during this time and making that money. It's when he met Christopher Nolan that he started to make new sound. He got inspired, watch the extras in Batman Begins and Dark Knight blu ray
he did not reuse, but it has similar chords, because it's coming from the same composer. Many Linkin Park songs, for example, have similar chords too, and sound very similar.
And favourite quote "Your best?! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen!" Me and my friends still quote it when we can and even telled Quinton Flynn it at a comic con it lol.
One Saturday we queued up for Independance day but all the tickets were sold out. Then saw a card board stand for The Rock on the other side of the room from ticket booth thinking it was some kind of western. Dissapointed we couldn't see ID (before multiplexs) we thought we would give The Rock a try. Came out thinking I had seen one of the best films ever, mind blown away, it was a complete shock. Next day queued up at another cinema for ID, got in and came out thinking The Rock was so much better. All the hype in the country was for ID with mass advertising campaign, The Rock had none of that, a complete surprise and a joy to watch such a great film with no expectations. Still one of my favourite films ever.

I love the theory that Sean Connery is playing James Bond in this movie
Same.
That was my exact head cannon while I watched this movie when it was new and I was a teenager.
In my head hes definitely James Bond. I wish they'd just referred to him as JB throughout the film.
Nah he's SAS he could probably kill Bond with his thumb 🤷🏻♂️

The Rock, Con-Air and Face/Off. Such a great unofficial trilogy.
Happyhardcore95to99 😉😂
And 3 completely different power house Cage performances.
3 of my favorite movies growing up for sure
I call it "The Cage Rage" trilogy.
this is accurate
R.I.P. Sean Connery. What a hell of a performance. Never once lost his touch, no matter what movie it was.
The Rock is the movie that allows the sentence, "Everyone loves at least one Michael Bay movie," to be totally true.
People also like transformers and 13 hours.
For me it wasn't this movie, which I actually saw when it came out, it was 6 Underground. I've seen it at least 3 times now.
It's kinda like with Joel Schumacher, you can always defend him with The Lost Boys.
Michael bay is one of America’s most beloved directors his best movie is armageddo

Continuing that line (and with thanks to IMDb):
John Mason: Winners go home and [bang] the prom queen.
Stanley Goodspeed: Carla WAS the prom queen.
John Mason: Really?
Stanley Goodspeed: [cocks his gun] Yeah.
Ed Harris's character is real compelling.
He was pushed to the limit, in the end he is still a patriot.
William forsythe is underrated too
Bay's best character
"Look, I'm just a biochemist. Most of the time, I work in a little glass jar and lead a very uneventful life. I drive a Volvo, a beige one. But what I'm dealing with here is one of the most deadly substances the earth has ever known, so what say you cut me some FRIGGIN' SLACK?!"

The best thing about this is that Sean Connery busts his balls later in the movie about his beige Volvo.
The delivery is on point!
The Nick Cage Holy Trinity: The Rock, Con Air, and Face Off
Thank you! Exactly what I was thinking
Ryan V M Jeremy has finally completed the trilogy
Actually, I would include Gone in 60s in that list. Just one of my favorites

Kinda liked Next as well.
The "green smoke" scene is still the most exciting 20 secs in film I've ever seen.

reminds me of the end of whiskey hotel in mw2, not the only rock reference in that game though.

When new movies come back, I really really hope Jahns makes reviewing classic action movies a regular part of the show.
Me too, he used to do that back in the day, he reviewed Alien, Aliens, The Crow and From Dusk till Dawn to name a few, I miss him doing reviews of older movies. I'm glad that he & Chris Stuckmann have been doing that. I hope he reviews ID4 & the Blade films soon. :)
Jeremy: "I think I'll go for the John Wick look during quarantine"
Next is Con Air xD oh man everyone get ready for that rollercoaster ride lol
Hey Jeremy Jahns, I know it’s a bit of a departure from the kinds of movies you usually review here but could you do a review of When Harry Met Sally? It’s just such a good under-appreciated movie xD
I loved this movie back in the day, you can color me surprised when I was old enough to appreciate that this was directed by Michael Bay. My respect for the movie grew even more...not my respect for Bay, but more for the actors who were able to keep this being such a balanced and fantastic movie. Lesser actors with the dialog and chemistry may of came off as plane, hokey or just not good but the ones in this movie are fantastic. I even love the fantastically over the top characters like the black military guy and his knife, such a hilarious scene.
these 3 actors saved the movie from being horrible like most of Bay's movies.
This is one my favorite movies of all time! Ed Harris killed this role! My absolute favorite movie villan!
austen jones I don’t really know if call him a villain. Very misguided yes. Spoilers ahead
Remember he told the school trip to go home and in the end he couldn’t go through with firing the rockets on civilians which lead to his death when most soldiers turned against him.
@@bobdouglas9599 fair point. Antagonist is a more accurate term
General Hummel was the true hero of this film
Seriously one of my favorite movies ever
Ed Harris vs Michael Biehn works so well
That scene always gave me chills, the two are soooo good in that scene, very underrated actors and you gotta love that it's an "The Abyss" reunion. :)
@@TheBraunMachine2011 Michael Biehn is a very underrated actor in my opinion. Hes always a blast no matter what movie hes in.
The best kyle reese till this day is still michael biehn to be honest
Damn, Jeremy Jahns has turned into Keanu Reeves
Whoa...
“I am an FBI agent!”
@@Metaldjwill2 Well of coursh you are!
Jeremy Wick
@@eddieanderson9399 That nobody, is Jeremy Wick.
He was an associate of ours. We called him, Movieyaga.
The movie man?
Well Jeremy wasn't exactly the movie man. He was the one you sent to review the fucking movie man.
I once saw him review three movies in a bar, with a pencil. With a fucking pencil.
I love what you're doing. I dunno if you've always done older movies since the start of your channel, but ive noticed thst the old movie reviews happened a lot since quarantine started. Anyways, its nice to get the 80s 90s growing up feels when you do these! Thanks brah
Thank you Jeremy for reviewing this movie!! Glad you are returning to the past to review these classics again!!
"Uh - Let's talk music. Do you like the Elton John song, "Rocket Man"?"
Aron Scott
“Oh, I see, well I’m only asking because...it’s you. You’re the rocket man.”
“Flips switch and ducks.*
LOL, man, I was waiting the whole review for Jeremy to bring up that scene lol, he quoted it in another review video, I can't remember which one it was. But that scene's always been one of my favorites. Tony Todd is such an underrated & awesome actor. :)
How do you like how that shit works!!?? Lol
Come here!!! Come here you little chicken shit!! Don't be scared I won't hurt you!!! Come on let's play!!!!
Damn you. Now I wanna watch The Rock again.
"I love these moments in you, man." - Jeremy Jahns to The Rock, June 3rd, 2020.

Interestingly enough that original box art of metal gear is lifted straight from a shot of The Terminator of Kyle Reese
Constantly watched this as a kid. It was my dads favorite movie
*Obligatory Jeremy’s hair comment*
"You want me to stick this into my heart?!" Love it!!
Just watched this for the first time and I had a blast. Not quite Equilibrium or Terminator 2 but definitely one of the best action movies I've ever seen. Great script great cast and Bay in his element. 9.5/10
Would you review "Train to Busan"? It is one of my favourites and one of the best zombie movies ever! I think you would really like it!
Love the video!
I've been debating watching it.
I have seen this movie sooo many times. I want to see it again lol
Glad you started to include videosequences from movies into your reviews. Waited for years for you to start doing that.)
"i'd take pleasure in gutting you...boy" love when Nic says that
This must be in my Top 10 Most Watched Films Of All Time. I absolutely adore this movie. If it wasn't approaching 12:30am where I am, I would watch it again right now! 🙂
It's only going on 9.30pm by me, will watch it for you lol
General Hummel:
"It's over SEALS, I have the high ground."
I am freaking flabbergasted that you didn’t mention Hans Zimmers score! This movie set up the tone of all of Zimmers music of the 2000’s. You can hear sections of Pirates of the Caribbean and The Dark Knight Saga in some of the lead-ins. Aside from that, great review. Totally agree it’s Bay’s best movie.
This movie is how a Metal Gear movie should be done, also the shower scene that inspired a level of
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was very cool, as always great review Jeremy, stay safe.
This used to be my favourite movie as a child, back when I thaught Michael Bay was like the best director ever
Same!
then, like getting older for a lot of people, it was all downhill from there lol
He might be one of the best cinematographers ever... and it translates to good directing when the (story, characters, performances, editing, etc) are on the same level. But they rarely are :(
Don't worry, we've all been there
This Dwayne Johnson’s biography is pretty intense
lol
😏
☺
The Rock’s Michael Bay had Don Simpson behind him. That’s the difference.
Isn't it Jerry bruckheimer
Super High Doug Judy both
"How, in the name of Zeus's BUTTHOLE, did you get out of your cell?!?"
Best line in the movie.
Jeremy actually played with his hair, shows he pays attention to the comments 😄
He has said that he can not get his hair cut
Since we are talking about Nicolas Cage, you should do a review for the original gone in 60 seconds but make sure you watch the original soundtrack, look it up on RUclips.
"A Senior citizen and a lab rat" 😂😂😂😂
@@aronscott8284 He sure did 😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of your best. I like when you review an older film because you somehow are able to add short clips into the video, specifically on yt.
Is it me or did Hans Zimmer reuse some of the music from this movie for Gladiator?
I wouldn't be surprised. He was working on several scores at the time.
He was exploring his craft during this time and making that money. It's when he met Christopher Nolan that he started to make new sound. He got inspired, watch the extras in Batman Begins and Dark Knight blu ray
Micheal Bay movie? Can you review Bad Boys 1 and 2?
The soundtrack for this movie u can kinda of hear bits and pieces of it in other movie scores of his
he did not reuse, but it has similar chords, because it's coming from the same composer. Many Linkin Park songs, for example, have similar chords too, and sound very similar.
Favorite line: "I take pleasure in gutting you boy"
I take pleasure in gutting you.... Boy!
And favourite quote "Your best?! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen!"
Me and my friends still quote it when we can and even telled Quinton Flynn it at a comic con it lol.
"What's wrong with these people!?"
I take pleasure in gutting you.... BOY
What is wrong with these people?
Dave Longden
Actually, best follow up line to that awesome Sean Connery line,
“Carla was the prom queen.”
Really?”
*cocks gun”
“Really.”
One Saturday we queued up for Independance day but all the tickets were sold out. Then saw a card board stand for The Rock on the other side of the room from ticket booth thinking it was some kind of western. Dissapointed we couldn't see ID (before multiplexs) we thought we would give The Rock a try. Came out thinking I had seen one of the best films ever, mind blown away, it was a complete shock. Next day queued up at another cinema for ID, got in and came out thinking The Rock was so much better. All the hype in the country was for ID with mass advertising campaign, The Rock had none of that, a complete surprise and a joy to watch such a great film with no expectations. Still one of my favourite films ever.
One of my favorite movies of all time, I have fond memories watching this on iTunes on my iPod touch (yes I’m old)
