While Tony Scott was editing the movie, he actually received word that the real USS Alabama was going to ship out of Pearl Harbor so Scott and a small crew immediately flew to Hawaii to capture footage of the sub before it sets out underwater. Scott and his camera operators captured the footage using a boat and helicopter. Both producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer said it was pure luck that they were able to get footage of the submarine going underwater and originally were going to use computer effects but Scott was against it and wanted to use real and actual footage and he got it. Just an amazing movie. I love True Romance but I honestly believe this is Scott's best movie.
The time of it setting off was actually classified. So no civilians should be able to do that in the first place… meaning that there is a whistleblower inside.
My only problem with this video, and probably more so the movie, is this. In the scenes of the boat diving; at times it's a fast attack boat (SSN), at other times, it's an FBM. The Alabama is an FBM submarine (SSBN 731). No, I haven't seen the movie, and won't. Mainly because of minor/major glitches like that. Call me names if you must, but as a Submariner from long ago, it's things like this that cause me to not watch certain movies.
Underrated? um no it was very highly rated when it came out.. now is just an old movie and we have an idiotic generation that can't appreciate good films anymore.
Hackman is one of the most underrated actors of our time imo. I was in the military for 8 years and he played the senior officer/commander role very believably.
I spent 12 years in the Navy, and I’ve always said that Hackman absolutely nails the CO role…I’m sure his time in the Corps gave him plenty of examples of cocky, arrogant, supremely competent commanding officers!
I might disagree. Hackman is far from under-rated. He's a god of sorts in the film world -- not counting the current generation. Sad that folks with that level of talent feel they have to retire. But he's happy now in the desert. If you've been there, you understand.
Generally I consider the use of "underrated" or "overrated" as purely personal opinion types of statements, but I genuinely feel this is the biggest misuse of the word that I've ever seen. lol. I'm not trying to make fun, honestly. It's just... he's generally considered one of the greatest actors not just of his generation, but of multiple generations. it almost feels akin to saying oxygen is underrated when considering all things that make Earth habitable.
ghostrider Old movies certainly stand for good stories but there are still good films today, like Interstellar, Inception, Argo, 12 years a slave... etc.
Tranefine please stop making adolescent comments and get the fuck out a here with all those fucked up fake ass movies...!! Sorry don't take it personal but really. ..pleaseeeeeeeee
It is a very powerful piece of music in this context. It was even used in a Navel warfare video game. Upon hearing it, the game was no longer just a game. Conduct of war in any form is serious business . God Bless all that are, and have been in that position.
The Navy Hymn sung as the submarine dives is quite moving. As if it's honoring the excellence of the crew and their bravery. Hans Zimmer really outdid himself with that soundtrack.
if i am not mistaken, and i tried to research it again, i believe the men's choir singing the navy hymn is in actuality a russian group. love the irony, on top of all the talent.
35 years in the Navy and the loss of some very good friends made "Eternal Father" music that grabs me deep just about every time I hear it. This is a beautiful rendition. Fair winds my friends....
Even though the Navy refused to give any kind of cooperation to filming, Tony Scott knew how to get the shots he needed🔥🔥 such a badass director 🔥missing his frenetic style films ❤️😢
I remember seeing making of for Crimson Tide. To get these shots they knew an American Sub was about to depart a naval base, so they sat off the coast outside the base and waited for it, and it was all legal. All they got was a warning over the radio not to get to close. And to top it all off it was actually the USS Alabama but they didnt realize this at the time.
@@RobertdMacGregor Yep, from what I've read, the Navy thought the movie didn't make them look good, what with all the mutiny, conflict, failure to follow procedures, almost-launched-nukes-that-shouldn't-be-launched and whatnot. So they refused to help.
@@Lonewolf0081 It is a shame, but just because a person's brilliance is recognized by others doesn't mean they aren't miserable. A person can not have many natural gifts/talents and be happy, or have many of them and be in anguish.
Exactly! The US military is quite happy to supply billions of dollars of hardware if you're happy to be part of their propaganda machine. Tony helped show them, it's not necessary.
I forgot how beautiful and impactful this scene is. Leadership is an interesting thing. They are no "bad guys" in this movie. This is a very good look at the way leadership works/doesn't work.
The captain is certainly made as the bad guy in the movie. Not a mustache-twirling villain, but reckless, cold and mean. However, as the admiral says at the end, as far as the letter of the law goes, they were both right, and they were both wrong. The system failed, with almost catastrophic consequences.
"I can't stand save-asses and I won't abide kiss-asses" -Captain Ramsey (beautifully delivered by Gene Hackman). Anyone have male kids in here? Here's some good advice, drill that into their heads until they're saying it in the sleep and are hopefully living it when they become men. Take responsibility for your actions and don't be a sycophant; teach them this first before anything else. Great movie, thank you 🙏
The film crew waited at Pearl Harbor for a sub to put out to sea. In an incredible coincidence, the real USS Alabama was the first sub to do so. They followed in a boat and helicopter and got this footage.
Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; Oh Saviour whose almighty word, The winds and waves submissive heard, Who walked'st on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep, Oh hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea. Amen
Mi-28 Havoc yes. It is. Also believed, by mistake, as the navy hymn. It is not. Belongs only to those who are bubbleheads. We have given so much to wear dolphins. Thank you very much by calling it by the right name.
I love this scene. I've sailed through the Straits of Juan de Fuca (in a surface warship) and served in a submarine - both during the Cold War. This is how it was when I was a young man.
Were the subs really that spacious? A friend of mine said that there wasn't close to that much room in a submarine. He served in an undisclosed nuclear sub (He won't tell).
Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm does bind the restless wave, Who bids the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. O Savior, whose almighty word The winds and waves submissive heard, Who walked upon the foaming deep, And calm amid the rage did sleep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. O Holy Spirit, who did brood Upon the waters dark and rude, And bid their angry tumult cease, And give for wild confusion peace; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. O Trinity of love and pow'r, Your children shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire, and foe, Protect them where-so-e'er they go; Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

One minute they're talking about the cigar and then abruptly the professionalism kicks in. "XO take her down!" Almost the like XO is a third person on the bridge. Awesome acting.
Not so much giving personal advice as taking another opportunity to mess with his head, he tells denzel not to be a kiss-ass and then asks him whether he likes the cigar which he obviously dislikes (not being a smoker), a question which in politeness denzel is required to answer dishonestly, lol.
One of the most hair raising scenes in Hollywood movie history. Till the dive commences, we are in awe of the size and the strength of the US Navy nuclear powered submarine. But as the dive begins and the mighty ocean gradually swallows the submarine, we are once again left awestruck with the enormity of Mother Nature as David (nuclear sub) merges into Goliath (the ocean) in this scene. In Sanskrit, the ocean is called 'Samuddhra' and when we Indians use that word, it is quite a mouthful and it gives us a sense of the actual might of nature's water force when we say it.
The ocean didn't "swallow" the submarine. The submarine dove forcefully into the ocean to let the sea know the sub is ready for the challenge of the water's might. It will resurface after being tested by the depths and the sub will remain as the victor!
@@johnleeson6946 Well that is of course the fact but I had been talking about how Mother Nature has the capability to dwarf us all. Another scene that comes to my mind is the view from the International Space Station in the movie 'Gravity' that gives one a sense of the gigantic proportions of our planet Earth.
My favorite part of the show! Any of U former lookout Out there understand this moment, back on watch, after all the hoopla has died there is only the rush of the ship cutting through the water and the trail the screw makes as U move forward! The smell of the sea air, the horizon all around U until nightfall, then only the lights of contacts, green for rt side, red for port, white for rear. Then 2 hours later, your stomach telling U what to do with your lunch! Miss it sometimes, but sometimes I don't!
The scene in which the U.S.S. Alabama is diving for the first time, is footage of the real submarine submerging. Tony Scott was following along in a helicopter obtaining shots of the ship. When the Captain of the Alabama requested that the helicopter cease filming, they submerged, which is what director Tony Scott was hoping for anyway.
@Tyrone Taylor : "You knew to shut up and enjoy the view".. to be there at the time.. Denzel & Gene.. perfect casting.. perfect! .. btw Tyrone, how you like that Cee-gar ???.. LoL!
Many say real men jump out of planes and helicopters or are special operators. True, but it takes a real man to get on a boat that submerges on purpose for a very long time. And to stay there for so long.
Movies like this, you better get while you still can. Feminism and Hollyweird will see to it they are never made again. Powerful movie. Powerful acting.
That’s not a legitimate order for a couple of reasons. 1. The formal order is submerge the ship. 2. That order comes from the CO to the OOD who then repeats it back to the CO.
In my experience on much smaller, recreational, boats, dolphins like to lead or follow boats if they're moving fast, but when you slow down, to conserve fuel or actually sail, they get bored and leave. I've never sailed on a boat big enough and fast enough while sailing in calm seas to interest the dolphins. (In rough seas, the dolphins might well be there but you'll probably never know.)
Excellent movie, amazing spar off between Washington and Hackman, both superior actors. And this scene is quite moving for some reason - guess that, to me, is the dedication, the risk, the stakes, and the beauty of filming/editing. Thanks for posting. I'm thinking of showing this at our military retirement community near Veterans Day, for many of our folks were submariners.
@@FLYSUBS89 How can you say that? Of course, it's your opinion, but you didn't say you're a submariner yourself. Even I'm not. However, at least I respect those who made this film. With two legendary actors to be precise. Plus, you didn't realize that the comment was made 8 years ago. Way too late to say, "Don't show it to them." I bet @ytcarol, if he kept his word, already did. Next time, look at how long ago a comment was made before you reply back. I won't be seeing your future replies to me regarding this particular topic. Good day.
@@hammerbro1947 well, don't be surprised then, when you show this on April 11th as some sort of tribute, and get laughed out of the hall. And yes, I earned dolphins.
I remember I had to take an anti submarine warfare class in the Navy. The Lt. that started the presentation said welcome. I'd like to tell you all right now there is no such thing or effective strategy for anti submarine warfare. Now let's begin. 🤣
I am by nature very claustrophobic, so the thought of serving in the close quarters of a submarine terrified me, especially the thought of being trapped in one deep under water during a catastrophic event (on a regular boat you can toss out life preservers and launch lifeboats, but in a submarine there's nowhere to go). And yet, I've always been fascinated with submarines since I was a child. Many years ago I got the chance to experience life aboard a submarine. Initially I panicked, but after a while I almost forgot that I was in a submarine. I'm still claustrophobic, but I do admire those who live abd serve aboard those fine vessels.
That's what you took from the movie? Gung ho patriotism? Not the folly of the old breeds cold war way of thinking? Not the undercurrent of racism in the armed forces?

I ate one meal out in the woods that I couldn’t even see. Just slid my back down the side of a tree, took off my M-60 machine gun and felt around my tray. Unfortunately, the meat was rubbery. It may have been a good thing to not see it. Good memories.
@@rexoates4484 we got MREs a total of one time, and only when we were in hurricane conditions on duty and an emergency sortie wasn't an option. It wasn't bad, for a single meal. Other than that, I've always had cooked food or cold cuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner while on board a ship.
They look like Cuban MonteCristo's - and they're not cheap. Roughly $15 - EACH depending where you get them. But can burn for over an hour, so worth it.
Great scene and an amazing film. Only thing I wish they would have added was the actual sound of the diving alarm. Very few have had the pleasure of hearing that sound.
Never ceases to amaze me - all those running Matelots! Running forward from aft to man their stations and those who have stations aft, running from forward! A time and motions bod would have a field day! LOL
The way the sub dives with the music playing is just beautiful.

I heard that they dont have permission to do so. Get some troubles because of it.
@@leMUrian023They didn't have permission to film on the sub. It wasn't illegal to shoot the footage because the sub was is open waters and in public.

@@SingerSagenot necessarily a whistle-blower, could just be piss-poor opsec on the part of some brand new unqualified seaman.

Washington/Hackman it simply gets no better. Two of the most powerful actors in history.....
I was a Tin Can sailor but still love this scene as a Navy veteran!
Former Army aviator here. You swabbies got some mad balls to do what you do. Salute to my brothers in arms.
"This is my favorite part.. right here, right now"
It is pretty amazing, on the bridge, just the few of you, and a nice cigar.
@Tyrone Taylor : "You knew to shut up and enjoy the view".. to be there at the time.. Denzel & Gene.. perfect casting.. perfect! .. btw Tyrone, how you like that Cee-gar ???.. LoL!
When they are diving, the song is "The Navy Hymn".
@Stimulator7 I thought it was in Russian due to the choir's style hahahaha
@@raptor_zero9429 Omg! I had thought so too when I first heard it. Thanks for this.
My favorite scene in the whole movie especially the Navy hymn playing as the music .....go Navy!!!
Many say real men jump out of planes and helicopters or are special operators. True, but it takes a real man to get on a boat that submerges on purpose for a very long time. And to stay there for so long.
Movies like this, you better get while you still can. Feminism and Hollyweird will see to it they are never made again. Powerful movie. Powerful acting.
Montecristo No.2 cigars (Cuban and non-Cuban) are excellent cigars. One of my favorites.
Great movie, excellent music. The gimbaled set they built for this was incredible and added to the reality of the film.
I'd actually love to see some behind-the-scenes footage. Lemme do some digging 😅
"XO, take her down."
"Take her down, aye, Sir."
That’s not a legitimate order for a couple of reasons. 1. The formal order is submerge the ship. 2. That order comes from the CO to the OOD who then repeats it back to the CO.

@@ethanlanders1231 Well, it's just a movie after all.
@Tyrone Taylor "Bridge, Control. Sounding One-two-zero fathoms."
RH Saputro “Lookouts, clear the bridge.”
Awesome use of music to set the scene. “Amen” comes right as the periscope submerges.
Opening of Under Siege with the dolphins at the bow of the Missouri was spectacular!
In my experience on much smaller, recreational, boats, dolphins like to lead or follow boats if they're moving fast, but when you slow down, to conserve fuel or actually sail, they get bored and leave.
I've never sailed on a boat big enough and fast enough while sailing in calm seas to interest the dolphins. (In rough seas, the dolphins might well be there but you'll probably never know.)
That was a brilliant movie
but
in my humble opinion, Under Siege II was even better.
Both had some of the finest Big Bads in movie history.
Excellent movie, amazing spar off between Washington and Hackman, both superior actors. And this scene is quite moving for some reason - guess that, to me, is the dedication, the risk, the stakes, and the beauty of filming/editing. Thanks for posting. I'm thinking of showing this at our military retirement community near Veterans Day, for many of our folks were submariners.
Well I hope you did as it is a no-brainer! In fact, don't bother as they probably have seen it dozens of times.
Don’t. It’s an affront to every bubblehead with all the nonsense Hollywood thinks happens on a boat. WORST SUB MOVIE EVER.
@@FLYSUBS89 Moron.
@@FLYSUBS89 How can you say that? Of course, it's your opinion, but you didn't say you're a submariner yourself.
Even I'm not. However, at least I respect those who made this film. With two legendary actors to be precise.
Plus, you didn't realize that the comment was made 8 years ago. Way too late to say, "Don't show it to them." I bet @ytcarol, if he kept his word, already did.
Next time, look at how long ago a comment was made before you reply back. I won't be seeing your future replies to me regarding this particular topic. Good day.
@@hammerbro1947 well, don't be surprised then, when you show this on April 11th as some sort of tribute, and get laughed out of the hall. And yes, I earned dolphins.
I love the low tone sound of the sea rushing over the sub
+Stevie Bernardoni those of us that were in the Navy and at sea, know that's exactly how the water sounds.
johnny ola how did you like the navy?
I remember I had to take an anti submarine warfare class in the Navy. The Lt. that started the presentation said welcome. I'd like to tell you all right now there is no such thing or effective strategy for anti submarine warfare. Now let's begin. 🤣
Got damn Hans Zimmer sure does know how to score a movie
" Bravo Hunter" excellent scene from two of the most talent actors that I ever seen in my life
I am by nature very claustrophobic, so the thought of serving in the close quarters of a submarine terrified me, especially the thought of being trapped in one deep under water during a catastrophic event (on a regular boat you can toss out life preservers and launch lifeboats, but in a submarine there's nowhere to go). And yet, I've always been fascinated with submarines since I was a child. Many years ago I got the chance to experience life aboard a submarine. Initially I panicked, but after a while I almost forgot that I was in a submarine. I'm still claustrophobic, but I do admire those who live abd serve aboard those fine vessels.
The music scores in this movie were awesome!
“Most eggheads want to talk it away.”, CAPT Ramsey…
Said in the ramblings while he’s talking it away… while Hunter just chills.
IMO he is testing him, to see if he starts to jabber.
There is nothing more beautiful than watching a sunset in the middle of the Pacific. I’ve done it while flying missions and aboard the Carl Vinson.
Thank you for your service. Fly Navy!
When were you on the Vin ?
Two of the most powerful actors in Hollywood, all masculinity and presents..
Gene Hackman - imo best actor ever,. Amazing acting skill..
I was on the USS KITTY HAWK CV 63 those same years.. Go NAVY !!
The song is already legendary, and Hans Zimmer makes it epic
That "song" is the first verse of The Navy Hymn. We learn it in Basic. Every sailor knows it.
Lol, i love how theres always vocals playing in movies when submarines dive. First Red October, then this, and a few others.
awww one of the beautiful scene of the movie. the SSBN Alabama is diving to the ocean and the sun is shining on it like a burning fire.
Quite poetic there :)
What a great movie - not just the script and the acting but beautifully shot, amazing editing, music, etc.
great movie! such a great movie. dont mess with the US Navy
Jajajjaja us navy and the whole army is a mess, your governments are taking their time to make sure of this !!!
laughs in UNSC
That's what you took from the movie? Gung ho patriotism? Not the folly of the old breeds cold war way of thinking? Not the undercurrent of racism in the armed forces?
@@grantjohnstone9787 lol, I thought the same thing - imagine the mind that watches this movie and just thinks, “America! F yeah!” … I guess the same mind that reads your comment and thinks you called the armed forces racist? Lolol, man oh man
@@Grande79 have you actually seen the film?
Music in this film ... Oh my God.
Amazing , brilliant
This is the best acting? film ive seen .The master Hackman's swansong vs brilliant Washington
THIS was an awesome movie. The acting between Hackman and Washington's characters was top notch.
Don't forget to take down the windshield..
I really love tht movie 🎥🍿 like the red October and 571 these (3 movies are great plz make #2 of crimson tide 🌊
Love this scene...one my all-time favorite.
Such a strong scene, the pictures, the music, everything...
One of the most iconic scenes of the movie.
Song: Mutiny? The song is 'Eternal Father,' the Navy Hymm.
Big salute to all the submariners. I was army infantry during the Cold War. It’s hard for me to imagine life on any ship, especially a sub.
It's hard for us to imagine all that walking. 😃
@@guzzijack9714 definitely did a lot of that.
Hard to imagine not having air conditioning and hot food before and after watch lol
@@christopherlee7334 did y’all ever get c rations or MRE’s? The army field chow took some getting used to. I remember eating a cold can of spaghetti and meatballs for breakfast. I ate one meal out in the woods that I couldn’t even see. Just slid my back down the side of a tree, took off my M-60 machine gun and felt around my tray. Unfortunately, the meat was rubbery. It may have been a good thing to not see it. Good memories.
@@rexoates4484 we got MREs a total of one time, and only when we were in hurricane conditions on duty and an emergency sortie wasn't an option. It wasn't bad, for a single meal. Other than that, I've always had cooked food or cold cuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner while on board a ship.
they are a thing of beauty, the most complex machine on Earth
we Pray they are never used in anger
Chief of the watch on the 1mc DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!.....best part of that scene!
The way the movie pits Capt Ramsey & Lt Cdr Hunter against each other is fantastic acting.!
"Don't like em too much, there more expensive then drugs..."
My Mind : Cubans :P
Truth man, truth
They look like Cuban MonteCristo's - and they're not cheap. Roughly $15 - EACH depending where you get them. But can burn for over an hour, so worth it.
@@dejablade6052 And he got about 5 minutes out of it before tossing it overboard. (I didn't see them still smoking below decks)
@@Ladco77 Actually, the captain re-lights a cigar near the end of the movie. Can't tell if it's the same one tho.
I might be wrong, but they looked like partagas number 4s to me... And they are over £30 each here in the UK!
I love hanz zimmer scores I can watch this part over and over
Thanks for sharing this nice video Sir Walker Knight ! May The Force Stand by You along 2020 !
Beautiful scenery 💯😊✊
This movie is crisp, smooth and direct. I forgot how good this was. Thank you for uploading this scene.
What's its name
@@itsmevikas7 Whose name?
@@darkprose movie's name
My dad was on the Louis & Clark nuclear sub in 1970. He said it was the greatest experience he ever had during the service.
Although i would be to scared to ever serve on one, i think subs are cool as hell. Much respect for those sailors.
Music in this movie was so great, same with The Red October.
I love this film so much.
The score! :) Peak Hans Zimmer :P
My personal FAVORITE movie from the 90's.
Keep your priorities straight; Your mission and your men... Well said.
Very underrated Film....in its time, I think time has shown how good it was but should have been an Oscar contender
Submarines can travel under water.
Thanks, Captain Obvious.
+The Vent Girl lol
The Joker
The Joker is a character in Batman.
They can?? All this time I thought they flew.....How long have you been sitting on this information?
Nope. I spent days researching it. Believe it or not, they go underwater.
2:14 What did the Captian throw away? I hope it wasn't the half-finished cigar.
Great scene and an amazing film. Only thing I wish they would have added was the actual sound of the diving alarm. Very few have had the pleasure of hearing that sound.

I could never be a Bubblehead. I would go bananas, 🍌 and would be ready for a Section 8. God bless them all!
Never ceases to amaze me - all those running Matelots! Running forward from aft to man their stations and those who have stations aft, running from forward! A time and motions bod would have a field day! LOL
Smokin a monte cristo and cruising on a nuclear sub....bad ass. Denzel did not properly toast his cigar though
Miss the part where it was his first cigar? He wouldn't know.
Gene Hackman was a Marine
This was all the way back when movies were actually good. I miss those days.
this song is part of my running playlist
Of the best things in the world is being on the bridge around sunset with a good cigar. One of my favorite things from my time on SSN-713.
