You know you've achieved greatness when you play the part of a typhoon class Russian sub commander with a full on Scottish accent and nobody seems to care.
Yeah Jonesy was the brains of that outfit. He figured everything out ahead of everyone else. Also, fun fact. He was the cat in Alien. A very versatile actor.
most other actors strive to become their characters. Connery's method was to turn the character into _him._ Then he could be purely himself. No pretense. No facade. All honesty. Thank you, Sean. We miss you, but never forget you.
Yeah, some actors shouldn't even bother with an accent. Anthony Hopkins as well. In the Mask of Zorro he didn't try a Mexican accent and for good reason.

If you'll recall from Jack Ryan's briefing earlier in the movie, Ramius isn't Russian, he's Lithuanian (still a Soviet, but not all Soviets were Russians). Saw somewhere online the idea that if all the Russians in American movies speak with an English accent, it would make sense that a Lithuanian would be dubbed with a different accent. Hence, Russians speak with an English accent, but Lithuanians with a Scottish one.
I love that Connery went up to the Mancuso to annouce his defecting. Very respectful part of the movie. Was not just thrown together sentence. Treated with the importance it deserved
I think it was a mutual understanding amongst Sailors, Soldiers, Airman, Marine, etc. Think about it Ramus is a submarine officer and a Captain and Mancuso was a Commander and a submarine officer as well. There had to some level of mutual respect. I was an engineer and shook hands with 8 different armies from different countries. There was a mutual respect of doing that profession.
@@2410jrod Actually it was because Ryan was outranked. It's obvious Who the two Captains were [ in the Navy being a Captain in rank and Captain of a boat/ship is 2 different things. My father was a Commander, but when he CO'd patrol boats/ships he was addressed as Captain]. Keep in mind that while Ryan is wearing a Navy Uniform, he is NOT in command [technically the highest rank he ever held was probably low officer or enlisted when he was a Marin originally, It's been 30 years since I was into Clancy, he lost me when he went all cyber [], and his epilates/ribbons etc. clearly show who the highest RANKED officer is. For Ramius to hand over to Ryan is just totally Taboo, regardless of Nationality or status of alliance. Hence his surprise when he said "You sent the signal?". He assumed the CAPTAIN of the boat did. As is logically sound
Theres more to this, as I only just understood. It seems that Ramius was surprised not only about who sent the signal but also about how rather "easily" his true intentions were analyzed and received before they made contact like this, he expected this to be more difficult. Yes, I know theres the scene earlier (one ping) in which his defection was basically confirmed by him - but remember how utterly shocked he was in that moment when he was straight up asked if hes defecting.
It did and does exist. My wife's grandfather was a career submariner sailing as a nuke engineer aboard several different class of attack boats in the USN during the cold war. I once asked him what they thought of their Soviet counterparts. Roughly said, "we all had a job to do, I held no ill will against them as men, and we were all submariners."
So glad they picked him, physically at least, instead of the character Clancy describes in the book. "Losing a battle with his waistline" etc. Not sure about being from Italian stock, but actor-wise he's great.
Described in-book as the son of a barber who went deer-hunting in Michigan's Upper Peninsula every season until he became a submariner (where stalking woodland critters all of a sudden seemed like a step down from his day job). Scott Glenn at least carries off that aspect.
Alec Baldwin is every director's dream. He can memorize PARAGRAPHS. Incredibly talented actor. Originally Kevin Costner was sought out for that role; nobody had heard of Baldwin at that point. SOOO glad Baldwin got that role. He's got soo much more finesse than Costner.
@@michaelgl8516 indeed. James Earl Jones said that the speech Alec gave in the board room with those admirals and generals, he memorized in just 1 night. Kevin Costner is great, but so is Alec Baldwin. And Alec Baldwin was the perfect one for this role. And even though Harrison Ford is my favorite actor, and Alec is one of my favorites, this role is Alec’s role.
@@Tommyboy6426 Kevin Costner is merely eye candy for the ladies. The minute he opens his mouth the magic is gone. He doesn't understand voice modulation & simply reads his lines flatly. Too bad he never took Steve McQueen's advice about learning too keep his mouth shut.
Boy, I couldn't agree more! It's a shame that money was what made the difference. Don't get me wrong, I do like Harrison Ford, but..... Alec Baldwin was perfect as Ryan.

This scene is way funnier if you actually speak Russian. Believe me, however funny you think Connery's accent is, it's way better if you actually speak the language. A native speaker would struggle to understand a single word of his "Russian" speech. Baldwin's is OK. I mean, it's a very strong American accent, but it's understandable.
Lithuanians are even more difficult to understand after drinking a few beers as well. The Baltic state countries have some of the highest per capita of consuming beer.
Agree and disagree. He did a great job. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that Jack Ryan is a Marine and Alec comes across too much like an analyst, not a Marine.

The best thing about this scene is, it answers Ramius's early concern of whether they'd get "the right shot", or some "buckaroo". Early in the movie, after Ramius tells his officers he had informed Moscow of their intent to defect, he then privately explains to Boris that "if we get the right shot, this will work. But if we get some buckaroo (cowboy)..." He knew the Soviet government would tell the US that the Red October had gone rogue and intended to nuke America, thus enlisting the unwitting Americans in the Soviet govt's attempt to thwart the defection. But, if someone on the US side was thoughtful and perceptive and figured out what was really going on, then they would make contact with Red October and help them defect. Ramius estimated 1-in-2 or 1-in-3 odds of that happening, not great. And that was underlying tension of the whole movie - Ryan was "the right shot", but he had no power and little agency, and at each step he had to convince doubters of the situation - the Joint Chiefs, the carrier air wing commander, Dallas's commander Mancuso. He even did some "cowboy" things along the way, like making the blind 50/50 wager with Mancuso that Ramius would go right in his next Crazy Ivan. In this scene, and the ones shortly after, Ramius realizes he beat the odds and got the right guy, and that it's not the US submarine commander Mancuso (who, Ramius observes, looks like a cowboy with his hip-holstered pistol). Instead, it's this unassuming CIA analyst who wrote a painfully incorrect book on Admiral Halsey's WWII combat tactics. Even Ramius is surprised that all this has actually worked, that the Americans figured it out and came through, including the fake reactor incident. He takes a moment to digest it all and fully realize it, then formally requests asylum in the US. Great scene, one of the best, kudos to the writers and actors.
It's funny because Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin have one of the most recognizable voices in Hollywood Having the two talk to each other is like having a drag race between a Mustang and a Camaro
To this day, this movie has addressed having characters speak a language other than what majority of audience speaks, without needed subtitles, better than any other movie I have seen. Ramius is speaking Russian with subtitles in his ready room, and the camera does a slow zoom on (i forgot what object), then at the apex of the zoom, he switches to English along with all the other Russian characters. It set up the fact, that yes, we are acknowledging they are speaking Russian. So instead of forcing you to read subtitles, and miss visual information, lets just pretend they're still speaking russian. Why don't more movies do this?
I've seen a few videos of Russians reacting to the Cold War-era cop film "Red Heat." Arnold Schwarzenegger played a Russian cop and the people reviewing the film said he spoke very good Russian.
I know this is a joke, but just to point out: Scottish is not the same as English with an accent. Also, Scotland does have its own language, called Gaelic.
@@akshaygowrishankar7440 Thanks for your reply, one of my best friends lives in Edinburgh, he speaks to me in Gaelic once in a while. No insult to the Scottish was intended.
In the absence of subtitles... Jack Ryan: Well, the captain seems to think you're some sort of cowboy. Capt. Ramius [in Russian]: You speak Russian. Ryan [in Russian]: A little. It is wise to study the ways of one's adversary, don't you think? Capt. Ramius: It is.
Unfortunately, the "You speak Russian" phrase is bad French. "Tee govoreesh po-russki" would be the (phonetically) correct, informal way to say it in Russian.
Either "Ti govorish po-russki" or "Viy govoriti po-russki", probably the second one given the formality of the situation but either works. I don't know enough Russian yet to say what "nu po-russki" means but it definitely isn't "You speak Russian" lmao Though I feel obligated to say - great film, great acting, great scene, regardless of the language issues.
As someone on here said,Connery was James Bond,he could have played Markus speaking in tongues and still have kept the role.Connery could get away with it.Alec Baldwin was the one who really had to prove himself and impress people with his performance.
God, I so fucking love this movie. I watched it several times on tv, then bought it on VHS, then later on DVD. Must have seen it at least 50 times. >8^) When was the last time Hollywood did anything like this? It seems these days it's just one cheesy super hero movie after the next.
When I first saw this movie back in 1990, I didn't know a word in Russian. Fast-forward nearly twenty years and after about eight years of studying Russian, it was interesting to know how many errors the movie had, starting with the title in the opening credits. Yes, Connery's accent sucked and his Russian, "ну по-русски?" ("Well, in Russian?") sounds odd. Baldwin's accent is better, though not fluent (i.e., intonation is close, but not quite right), and his answer "Немного. Полезно знать что думает противник, и правда ли?" is very good, and I think he rehearsed it for days with a Russian tutor. Baldwin did his due diligence, while Connery did not.
Not totally accurate. Clancy's portrayal of a Typhoon has only one reactor, and he deliberately contrived the Alfas as being powered by a very high-pressure water reactor rather than a liquid metal one (just so he could describe the meltdown on one).
Saddest thing about the whole "Rust" situation is that it really wasn't Baldwin's job to be managing the weaponry. But that entire production was a bloody MESS of shortcuts, bad personnel, arrogant individuals, and dozens of ignored warnings. 😓
Just a little bit oft acting Talent....it seems to be Like an very realistic scene i seem to know....from that times....if i can remember.....so angry we had to be, so appart we reacted, and so brutal all of us were shared. ..and used...
Love the slight conflict but also obvious respect between the two captains, it's really well played since it'd be easy enough for them to be at each other's throats instead there's this "I've been hunting you, you play the game well" respect,
@@47imagine that's a pity. Sam Neill would have been a good Bond. Unlike Dalton. If you have never seen Reilly, Ace of Spies with Sam Neill in the main role, I recommend it.
1:27 He talks early on in the film that what worries him, the one thing he can't control, is potentially meeting the wrong kind of American. Connery shows us a dignified expression of deep relief to have met an American who perfectly understood his intentions. He's temporarily speechless at how smoothly the exchange is going.
I love how all of Sean Connery characters (no matter the ethnicity) is just him being Scottish. A Spaniard eh? They probably sound like a Scotsman... A Russian eh? Sounds Scottish to me... A Dragon eh? Scottish... That is why he's pure GOLD!
I like the subtle part when the Captain not being comfortable with someone being able to predict him when Ryan tells him he figured out what was going on.
"The captain seems to think you're a cowboy. You know, I somewhat of a cowboy myself. This one time, I drew a Colt, fired one time, and...well. Never mind." Alec "One shot, two targets" Baldwin
It isn't. Scotland's just not in Russia...yet. It's a work in progress. Kidding. It's a matter for the United States to invade Scotland...hey, we Americans will invade Scotland before the English, we're so good at invading other countries.
Oh...sometimes wie had passports...yes...and ships, sometimes we arent any one ..now, the most of US never get back the id they had...before...in States like great britain....and the most of US had to loose everything for helping others.....while loosing in other States.....i thought i will find my family back after Loosing and the attacking of churches.....nothing was like it was before......and the sadest german came new....
I love this film once i started it a little of the way in, then next time i watched to the end. Then straight after I watched it all over again. R.I.P Sean Conery. will will miss you. Thank you for playing Bond.
Sean Connery in all his greater magnificence. Perhaps with the most striking rol of his career, Captain Marko Ramius. Commander of the Soviet Ballistic Missile Nuclear Submarine ‘Red Oktober’!
I guess all I'm saying is that there were several elements of this film that stood out because of the intelligence of which they were handled, and Scott Glenn's performance was certainly among them.
You know you've achieved greatness when you play the part of a typhoon class Russian sub commander with a full on Scottish accent and nobody seems to care.
Fu*k... I never noticed but yes, he is speaking Russian English with a Scottish accent, marvellous ! Only The Man could pull that off.

Cant stand his politics but alec Baldwin is definitely talented actor.
@@grahampeters91 Oh you mean his politics of unity, kindness and treating people as equals ??? Is that what you are tired of ?
^found one
To this day, this movie has addressed having characters speak a language other than what majority of audience speaks, without needed subtitles, better than any other movie I have seen. Ramius is speaking Russian with subtitles in his ready room, and the camera does a slow zoom on (i forgot what object), then at the apex of the zoom, he switches to English along with all the other Russian characters.
It set up the fact, that yes, we are acknowledging they are speaking Russian. So instead of forcing you to read subtitles, and miss visual information, lets just pretend they're still speaking russian. Why don't more movies do this?
Yeah, it's the best way. Avatar 2 handled it this way as well.
I've seen a few videos of Russians reacting to the Cold War-era cop film "Red Heat." Arnold Schwarzenegger played a Russian cop and the people reviewing the film said he spoke very good Russian.
A great many movies do this. In Gladiator English is a 1:1 standin for Latin, but we still hear old German etc spoken
He was reading a poem in Russian and they zoomed on his mouth and then zoomed out
Rest in peace Sean Connery, may you and Vassily meet Montana at heaven.
One of my favorites scenes. Too bad that it does not include, “You’re turning green.”
Rest in Peace Sean Connery
Alec Baldwin really messed up not carrying on as Jack Ryan BUT this movie belongs to Sean Connery
"I would have liked to have seen Tony Montana"

@@itsmannertime from the inside out 😉
@@itsmannertime These comments are the best part!
"I would like to have seen Joe Montana."
The American character speaks better Russian than the Russian character.
Thank you!

Connery was James Bond, he could talk in tongues and still keep the part.
Baldwin wasn't a big star at the time, he had to impress.
+Rooster Montgomery and he used his tounge on many of lady in the 60s
+KingDT2007 LMAO!
Yes...as Alec says earlier in the movie, "And he's not Russian...he's Lithuanian by birth...raised by his paternal grandfather, a fisherman."
The Chinese nowadays make the Soviets seem like a more reasonable adversary back in the old days of the Cold War.....
Sean Connery was in Red October and died in October
Red October was in November though, so I dunno what to make of this.
Boy!!! Jonesy is the best. "Pitch is to high, torpedo is Russian."
We lost one of the great ones today. An incredible performer.
RIP Sean Connery
you will be missed.
Baldwin has a phenomenal memory. He still can recite his Russian dialogue
James Earl Jones said that Alec memorized pages of dialogue overnight. Very smart man. He killed it in Glengarry Glen Ross
Yet he can't remember the basic rules of firearms safety.
@archstanton7035 and the guy who commented above you said "he killed it"😂😂
For a Russian guy, he speaks pretty good Scottish.
I know this is a joke, but just to point out: Scottish is not the same as English with an accent. Also, Scotland does have its own language, called Gaelic.
@@akshaygowrishankar7440 Thanks for your reply, one of my best friends lives in Edinburgh, he speaks to me in Gaelic once in a while. No insult to the Scottish was intended.
@@radio645 of course :)
In the absence of subtitles...
Jack Ryan: Well, the captain seems to think you're some sort of cowboy.
Capt. Ramius [in Russian]: You speak Russian.
Ryan [in Russian]: A little. It is wise to study the ways of one's adversary, don't you think?
Capt. Ramius: It is.
Unfortunately, the "You speak Russian" phrase is bad French. "Tee govoreesh po-russki" would be the (phonetically) correct, informal way to say it in Russian.
Jared S also bizarrely it seems overdubbed, his lips don’t match it either.
Either "Ti govorish po-russki" or "Viy govoriti po-russki", probably the second one given the formality of the situation but either works. I don't know enough Russian yet to say what "nu po-russki" means but it definitely isn't "You speak Russian" lmao
Though I feel obligated to say - great film, great acting, great scene, regardless of the language issues.
He seems to say you know Russian in English then it was very badly overdubbed
That's not a direct translation; you're just copying from the movie's official subtitles...
"You speak Russian with a Scottish accent and slur..."
remember; Markus is Lithuanian.
@@qetoun Well spotted! ; )
As someone on here said,Connery was James Bond,he could have played Markus speaking in tongues and still have kept the role.Connery could get away with it.Alec Baldwin was the one who really had to prove himself and impress people with his performance.
God, I so fucking love this movie. I watched it several times on tv, then bought it on VHS, then later on DVD. Must have seen it at least 50 times. >8^)
When was the last time Hollywood did anything like this? It seems these days it's just one cheesy super hero movie after the next.
Not to mention the music. Basil Poledouris, may he also rest in peace, created some really evocative music.
Sean Connery looks like Pierce Brosnan in The Foreigner
Back when movies had real actors and class!
Alec Baldwin used to be an actor long ago
Rip Sean. You sure were one of a kind.
It always seemed to me like every ship had a Jonesy--a sonarman who was just a little bit crazy but who could do incredible things with their sonar.
Just paying my tribute to Sir Connery. RIP Legend
When I first saw this movie back in 1990, I didn't know a word in Russian. Fast-forward nearly twenty years and after about eight years of studying Russian, it was interesting to know how many errors the movie had, starting with the title in the opening credits. Yes, Connery's accent sucked and his Russian, "ну по-русски?" ("Well, in Russian?") sounds odd. Baldwin's accent is better, though not fluent (i.e., intonation is close, but not quite right), and his answer "Немного. Полезно знать что думает противник, и правда ли?" is very good, and I think he rehearsed it for days with a Russian tutor. Baldwin did his due diligence, while Connery did not.
Conncery is completely unable to change is accent even a bit.
Agreed. I was about to make very similar comment. :)
The pitch is too high .... ours are baritone ...
The first torpedo missed and they were stationary!
Great book, when Clancy’s books were well researched and had a feeing of being real
Not totally accurate. Clancy's portrayal of a Typhoon has only one reactor, and he deliberately contrived the Alfas as being powered by a very high-pressure water reactor rather than a liquid metal one (just so he could describe the meltdown on one).
And suddenly the line" Ryan, be careful what you shoot at, some things in here don't react well to bullets" has a whole new meaning in 2021
Remember to ALEC when shooting.
Always Load Extremely Carefully.
Saddest thing about the whole "Rust" situation is that it really wasn't Baldwin's job to be managing the weaponry. But that entire production was a bloody MESS of shortcuts, bad personnel, arrogant individuals, and dozens of ignored warnings. 😓
@@Novastar.SaberCombatrule # 1: the gun is ALWAYS loaded. Treat it it as such.
Just a little bit of acting talent in this scene
You betcha...yaaaahh...the big dogs ...roof roof
Just a little bit oft acting Talent....it seems to be Like an very realistic scene i seem to know....from that times....if i can remember.....so angry we had to be, so appart we reacted, and so brutal all of us were shared. ..and used...
"that was a guess but seems logical".....that's a kinda good reply...
Good thing baldwin did not have the gun or we may have missed too many years of Sean Connery's performances!
One of the greatest movies of the century.
RIP Captain
I am able to recite that entire scene's dialogue from memory.... Even some of the Russian lines....
I'm russian and I can tell you, our torpedoes don't sound anything like that. Jonesy is off his rocker.
Love the slight conflict but also obvious respect between the two captains, it's really well played since it'd be easy enough for them to be at each other's throats instead there's this "I've been hunting you, you play the game well" respect,
Yes have subtitles over the English but not over the Russian. Makes sense
The only bad thing about the movie is what they did with Sam Neills character 😭😭
I just noticed how much Sam Neil resembles Sean Connery in his Bond-days
Look up "Sam Neill auditions for James Bond" in RUclips. He was up for the part in the late 80s but lost to Timothy Dalton.
@@47imagine that's a pity. Sam Neill would have been a good Bond. Unlike Dalton. If you have never seen Reilly, Ace of Spies with Sam Neill in the main role, I recommend it.
1:27 He talks early on in the film that what worries him, the one thing he can't control, is potentially meeting the wrong kind of American. Connery shows us a dignified expression of deep relief to have met an American who perfectly understood his intentions. He's temporarily speechless at how smoothly the exchange is going.
RIP Sean Connery
Ramius' "It is." in English in reply to Ryan's "It is wise to study the ways of your adversary" in Russian says volumes!
This is one of the best exchanges in the movie. You killed it by not including the subtitles.
Connery/ the coolest actor who every lived. Love you.
Subtitles: “speaking Russian” very helpful.
I love the line from Commander Tupelov that "Ill shake the man loose"
0:22 best part of the movie right there
Both The Hunt for Red October, the Movie and the Novel are really good.
I love how all of Sean Connery characters (no matter the ethnicity) is just him being Scottish.
A Spaniard eh? They probably sound like a Scotsman...
A Russian eh? Sounds Scottish to me...
A Dragon eh? Scottish...
That is why he's pure GOLD!
I AM THE LASHT ONE!
@@teencomment Shuck it Trebek!
That's why he's such a bad actor. Too egotistical to even try accents.
He'sshhh gReaat!
You forgot an Irish cop 😂
The best rug Sean ever wore in a movie.
I read somewhere in a magazine when this movie came out, that the hairpiece cost something like $22,000. A lot of money back in 1988...
0:27 Jonesy thinks he sees a deadly spider climbing up Mancuso’s back but quickly realises it’s just a shadow.
Baldwin’s best film
I really enjoy the way they made Russian "not" Russian but it was definitely implied they were speaking in Russian.
One of the greatest cold war movies of all time.
I like the subtle part when the Captain not being comfortable with someone being able to predict him when Ryan tells him he figured out what was going on.
Love love love this movie. Never get tired watching it. Must have seen it a dozen times.
"The captain seems to think you're a cowboy. You know, I somewhat of a cowboy myself. This one time, I drew a Colt, fired one time, and...well. Never mind."
Alec "One shot, two targets" Baldwin
Sean Connery's character came from the highlands of Russia. That explains his unusual Russian accent, when he speaks English.
I thought he was Lithuanian
@@sublimeade I was being silly. The "highlands" are in Scotland.
Lol
Or the coastal lowlands of Caledonian Lithuania.
John Paul Jones was born in scotland and served in russian navy, so not a stretch.
Sean Connery will be missed. RIP
I didn't know Russia was in Scotland
...it is... ...but ONLY if fold the globe correctly...
It isn't. Scotland's just not in Russia...yet. It's a work in progress. Kidding. It's a matter for the United States to invade Scotland...hey, we Americans will invade Scotland before the English, we're so good at invading other countries.
Oh...sometimes wie had passports...yes...and ships, sometimes we arent any one ..now, the most of US never get back the id they had...before...in States like great britain....and the most of US had to loose everything for helping others.....while loosing in other States.....i thought i will find my family back after Loosing and the attacking of churches.....nothing was like it was before......and the sadest german came new....
I love this film once i started it a little of the way in, then next time i watched to the end. Then straight after I watched it all over again. R.I.P Sean Conery. will will miss you. Thank you for playing Bond.
I am watching this movie on AMC. It's 2:34 A.M.
Steel Here its 1:53 am and im Doing the Same
This movie never gets old. A simple jem
1:40 I like the reckless guy in orange uniform :)))
Melekhin. Per the books, equal in rank to Ramius, but sent through Nuclear Propulsion career path instead of Command.
@@patersor interesting, I just assumed him to be the Russian equivalent to Scotty and he know's what he can get his ship to do when necessary!
@@kleetus92 Exactly a good engineer need to know his machine inside and out and as well how to push the limits.
Chief Engineer. CHENG in USN slang.
Ramius chose the best to help him, this guy was top notch.
Sean Connery in all his greater magnificence. Perhaps with the most striking rol of his career, Captain Marko Ramius. Commander of the Soviet Ballistic Missile Nuclear Submarine ‘Red Oktober’!
Sean Connery is so charismatic. Can bearly take my eyes off him.
"He's turning green..."
"Give me a direct order, sir! I only have an idea!"
One of the best submarine warfare movie to date
I mean we could talk about Scott Glenn
One of Hollywood's most underrated actors. He was great in all of his movies.
He was great in "The Right Stuff" and "Training Day"
I guess all I'm saying is that there were several elements of this film that stood out because of the intelligence of which they were handled, and Scott Glenn's performance was certainly among them.
