Yellowstone Explodes | 2012 | Now Playing
Budget for effects - $200 million. Budget for writers - $200.
Budget for actors: all the weed you want
If they got 200 for that, they were overpaid.
Very sad little money for writer
Quality of the movie: priceless (and not in a good way)
Woody also deserved some money, he was the only good character in this movie.
Literally everything in this movie is down to the very last second every single time
lol exactly, its so repetitive its redundant
That always bugged me about movies or shows, imagine in this scene they had shown up an hour earlier.
You discovered suspense, congrats
@MrMcbear He discovered bad writing.
Yep, if this were a video game, I'd need therapy afterwards.
I love how the moment he sees the daughter, Charlie immediately drops the “crazy radio host” gig, and tells him where the map is.
Good observation. That thought never occurred to me.
все голивудские фильмы збываются скоро значит рванет
@sericamanholov1023 Типун тебе на язык!
@CharlesGates-v6n guy who created temple os pretended to be a nazi but then got lost in his own sauce
@sericamanholov1023Not in our lifetimes.
5:24
“Always remember Folks, you heard it first from Charlie!” Famous last words of Charlie Frost, 2012
..когда Таллахасси готовился к зомбиленду, но что-то пошло не по плану😂
He’s not a real character. The cameramen were instructed to just film Woody Harrison’s normal day routine
Went out like a champ. He was crazy..but a champ. Lol
He died with a smile.
Lol
The stepdad scientifically impossibly saves everyone in the plane and gets killed later, and everyone acts like he never existed because they can be a family again lol. Top notch writing there, very realistic 😀
Good job buddy..🙄
Yes and also how daddy decided to take his tiny little daughter toward the giant super volcano at high speed in a richety old camper van instead of staying next to the escape vehicle/plane!
that part bothered me so much..
Almost as good as Titanics: "Woman on her death bed remembers a 70 year old one night stand, rather than her loving husband through decades"
That's why I would never date a woman that has a kid, because there's always the possibility of her getting back together with her kid's dad.
Unless the dad is dead.
Anyone within 50 miles would have zero eardrums remaining.
for real, anyone would just need to look up the basics of what happened with the Krakatoa eruption to get a glimps of what scale a super volcano can do.
Anyone in 1000 miles would be dead let alone 50.
@hilde198881 so, you're saying West Coast will be gone and all the way to Missouri. I was thinking 100 miles from eruption will get wiped out, 100-250 miles will have a chance to escape, but will get destroyed by fire/debris, and 250-350 miles will get covered in thick ashes.
@JB-fq9dp Then the ash cloud pretty much envelops the US. And you do NOT want to breath in that ash. So people on the east coast probably have like 2 days to get hell out.
What's with all the nitpicking? Can't you just enjoy the film without making it realistic.
the amount of heat this explosion would create would pretty much instantly FRY everything within viewing distance
Nah
Considering it's a volcanic eruption, Its nowhere as bright enough to fry anyone. In reality, it's just going to be as bright as how bright lava is. Hollywood always puts nuke on everything just for the hell of it
Yep also if it didn’t they’d all be deaf and probably have broken bones from the shockwave or internal bleeding
Definitely it's comparable to an atomic bomb.
@3dmazeXyz yep but more like exploding all the nukes on earth at once, in the same spot. The Yellowstone caldera is like 50 miles by 30 miles. In a super-eruption like this, the entire area would be the explosion. Nothing for hundreds and hundreds of miles would survive the first minute or two, and it would eventually on its' own take the entire planet down
This movies effects aged really well. Still holds up. Unrealistic? Yes. Entertaining? Yes
Survived it? Yes.
Hotel? Trivago.
Was I shitting myself watching this scene in the theaters? Yes.
They certainly don't make campers like that anymore LOL 👊🤣👍
the only entertainment I got from this movie was how comically bad it is.
In retrospect, I'm convinced that 2012 was a comedy.
It could be a documentary in the "Idiocracy" or "Demolition Man" universe... kinda
@eldritchmorgasm4018 "I like money...enhance your calm!"
The shockwave would have killed everyone in a 200 mile radius.
Woody Harrelson's character would have been vaporized almost instantly upon the caldera exploding....you're talking about one of the largest earth-base explosions since earth was formed...
This is a movie not a documentary .
@jeanneamato8278 Realism is important in movies to make possible the suspension of disbelief. That in turn is important for immersion, which in turn is important for enjoyment.
@oledahammer8393Да там от всех бы ничего не осталось в радиусе 250 миль. Фильм бы закончился на взрыве супервулкана 😂.
Seven hours after Yellowstone erupted, it reached Washington D.C.
After I had finished watching this, I realised I was only watching RUclips to put off going to bed, and that if this was the best I could find, I couldn't justify it anymore . . . Goodnight everybody. . .
You chose wisely.
Goodnight. Relatable because I don't want tomorrow to come or the day to end. "One more video..." ...and then the sun comes up.
Thanks for heads up
Yeah me too. Thanks for making me realise that. Goodnight.
Legends say jay ist still going to bed.
everyone hates how unrealistic it is but im just here enjoying the CGI
Me too! Some people dont seem to understand that its a ...'movie'. It doesnt have to make sense...
On one hand, the scientist in me is screaming about how that magma bulge would build over a period of years and not seconds, and how nobody in the vicinity would have survived the initial blast.
On the other hand, the CGI used to make is pretty amazing and terrifying.
@StrongerFish309 "Me too! Some people dont seem to understand that its a ...'movie'. It doesnt have to make sense..."
I don't share that sentiment. It is not impossible to tell stories that are both exciting and maintain a modicum of plausibility.
This movie needs to be redubbed with a gag script.
@StrongerFish309 This is glorfying movies with bad writing. Why would anyone do that?
I’m gonna say this:
The visual effects in this movie are amazing.
They deserved to be in a different movie.
They really aren’t 💀😂
Yes they are, for their time, 2009, this was amazing @Dontreallyknow702
Except they are absurdly wrong. The blast, heat and even the sound level (est. 300 to 400 DB at close proximity) would be fatal. Even at 200 km, sound levels would be about 200 to 220 DB and would rupture everyone's ear drums. In this movie nobody seems phased by the unbearable loudness.
@Dontreallyknow702 this movie was made in 2009, They really are..
Woody Harrelson was PERFECT in the short time he was on screen! My favorite scene is when the birds are leaving, and he is just, "Fly little birdies, Fly... is this your kid??" 😅😅😅😅
I actually found him so annoying I could wait until he got toasted
All of Woody's best roles are the ones in which he is playing a borderline-crazy nutjob in films. I remember he was in the movie "Midway," playing Admiral Nimitz. And while I thought he did a superb job... it just wasn't the same. I didn't like Woody in that role! lol
Natural Born Killers. Not your natural born Woody.
@jacob4920Wait. What? Haymitch is in this movie?
@ Yes, he was Admiral Nimitz in "Midway." And he plays a rocksteady, mentally together character. Which is just so... OUT OF CHARACTER for Woody! lol
"Daddy? what was that?"
"NOTHING! IT'S NOTHING"
The plane entered a plot hole that protected the plane from the volcano.
Reverse plot hole of final destination 😂😂😂
If you freeze the action at the point where he says, "I wish you could see what I am seeing". A crack opens up!
Lol that took me a few tries
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That man didn’t die: he’s too awesome to die.
5:30 RIP
Cell phones still work. 😂😂😂
When Krakatoa went, it blew people's eardrums out.
I think the shock wave of this would have killed them let alone the pyroclastic flow which would have incinerated them.
Is that true? Over what radius? The Krakatoa explosion was the loudest sound in recorded history. It could be heard up to 3,000 miles away.
@erikswanson5753 Sailors on the RMS Norham Castle had their eardrums ruptured . They were approximately 40 miles away . 100 miles away it could still burst windows and crack walls . The sound was estimated to be 310 dB . The threshold of pain is 140 dB and decibels are on a logarithmic scale . Ouch ......
The sound of Krakatoa went around the world three times.
@TheKoyotetracker Just like the sound of Joe Mama farting :)
"we gonna need a bigger plane" ....that look of the pilot is priceless 🙂
Line stolen from Jaws.
We gonna need a bigger BOAT
I absolutely love this movie, it’s such a guilty pleasure of mine.
Just FYI, when the ash cloud surrounded them in the plane, they were dead. If the ash didn’t clog up the engines and force a crash landing, the pyroclastic flow would have incinerated them. Pyroclastic flows can be anywhere between 500 to 1000° if not more.
Correct. It's entertaining but laughably unrealistic, as these movies tend to be.
Let alone thy pyroclastic flow from an explosion THAT large would be traveling at STUPENDOUS speeds. It would have overtaken them in seconds and they would never be going fast enough to outrun at that distance from ground zero. But yeah, makes for a fun movie, it not even remotely realistic.
😉😂😂😂
Roland Emmerich: “Nah uh!”
Yeah, the whole movie was Hollywood b.s. at it's best...😂😂but still, a (fun?) movie....
6:37 was that a tie fighter screech?
Watching woody bite it is the best part of this scene.
"Look at me. Do i look scared?" *child nods* I laughed so hard at this.
Woody Harrelson nailed this scene. Always remember folks, you heard it first from Carnage. 😆
Seeing a mountain explode is a pretty wild visual.
Wonder how the mountain lions handled seeing that explosion.....
thats just a super volcano, knew that from ZMDE basically
Loved the Jaws reference when he said "We're gonna need a bigger plane" 🤣
The constant shots of the little girl screaming “daddy” is so over the and yet the only believable thing about the whole scene. It gets me laughing every time.
1:20 Critical hit…. It is super effective….
5:46
“It’s following us!”
That’s actually a pretty decent description of every action scene in the movie
It's all fun till you rewatch it again 15 years later.
I like how he put his and his family's lives on the line, by trying so hard to save that koo koo for cocoa puffs guy, just so he could keep on watching the show unfold 😂
Gotta love how the step dad calling him a nut-job, as if homie didn't just save his ass from California breaking up and sinking into the ocean
Well goodbye Bigfoot
Charlie went out like a straight up G!
Earthquake 10.7 magnitude😂😂😂😂😂
Can someone do an edit of the movie without the kids screaming?
Damn, I've never seen an apocalypse more angry in a single family before
Fact:the two kids are gordon's child in real life❤
The hippie goes out in a blaze of glory 😂😂😂
3:24 he said "no", why don't you his bike to reach fast
5:27 I got a rock to the face. Damm what a hangover 😅
I remember the ads for this when I was a kid, I always thought it was an action/drama. Didn't know it was this goofy lol
This movie is so ludicrous and yet I’m still watching these clips😅
The most unbelievable thing in this entire movie is him getting that Winnebago to go fast enough to jump that gap...
The I don't think so! 😂😂 And nothing had me dying!!!😂😂😂
Jaws: "You're gonna need a bigger boat."
2012: "We'll need a bigger plane."
My kids would watch this movie and i would tell them i was one of the survivor's 😂😂😂😂😂
Remember guess Krakatoa when it blew it was said the sound alone would destroy or kill you within a mile
More like 40 miles! It could be heard from 3000 miles away. That would be the same as you hearing what sounded like distant thunder in LA only to discover the noise was an explosion in NYC!
Ye this movie is beyond ridiculous. The Core was a stupid movie, but this got even more wrong.
Yeah, the blast came out of Mount St. Helens at over 600 miles per hour. You’d get vaporized being that close.
Now this is a stupid movie but this here sequence is epic on another level!
it's not stupid
She said Jackson bring back my kid like that kid isnt both of theirs
I love how a multi-million dollar movie was forgotten the moment it got outdated.
They did not do themselves any favors by naming the movie after the year it came out
@ Didn’t it come out in 2009?
Well 2001 holds up well still
Jackson - "it's okay, I'll take her, so you won't leave without me" 😂😂
Woody never disappoints
This was the most crazy part Woody has played lol
6:57 Don't forget to full-brake it at 66 feet behind the plane..
The little girl running after her daddy was so sweet.
5:26 YOU HEARD IT FIRST FROM CHARRRRLIE!!😎👉💯
"Look at me baby, do I look scared?"
Lily was like "are you kidding me right now dad?" XD
I would have been hauling balls to get to that plane
I want to go out the way Woody Harrelson did in this movie. Glorious.
2:00 He totally could've broken through that little barrier I feel like
Why didn’t he just grab the entire stack of maps in the RV? And then look for it in the plane? 🙄
So true
There could be not this map there
From "we need a bigger boat" to "we need a bigger plane" ...
There was no shock wave like a nuclear explosion, and the plane crashed immediately due to the volcanic ash.
Every time I watch any scene from this move, I feel myself losing braincells.
6:05, The Camper Catches On Fire.
How they could believe in the "spaceships" 😐
It's 2024 and we're fortunately still here
9:56 That facial expression tho. 😐😂
9:56-9:57 just like The Polar Express and The Simpsons Movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
I saw this when it first came out. It was dumb then and it's _still_ dumb
the gong when they showed china on the map is insane
that shock wave would of killed everything in at least 200 mile range
A crazy radio host, a good pilot, a lucky family, a big disaster......made a good film🎉🎉🎉🎉
"Come on!!! Lift your fat ass for Sasha!"....this line stole the movie.
I still don't know the meteor hit the RV and they still survived 🤣🤣
Best prank movie ever..I had my whole family watching this.. and it aligned perfectly with the true alignment of the planets..
I only thought about it afterwards.. but I could have had them all sign over all their properties.
Movie,..2012 !!
Brilliant!
Woody Harrelson and his broadcast eating pickles!! Loved it!
Yea...goosebumps. This movie would have been epic if the studio took us seriously
She's telling Charlie to bring back her child, as if it's not his child also 😂
Women
@solid_talk Men 🤡💩
I love how the man played in this movie better than other movies it was the best than becoming the bad guy
I think the birds should have leave days earlier than the volcano explosion 2:19
Cameraman always survives 😂😂😂
"I got goosebumps people" best line in the whole movie.😂 good watch fo sho
More details please
@DoNotForget45180details of what? Lol
Violently it changes..
I remember seeing this in theaters, and to be honest, despite the certain inaccuracies, I actually wanted Charlie to live even through Yellowstone's eruption.
He did. The covering of dirt they fell around him formed a cocoon and saved him. He has food and water in his backpack. He dug out a day later and is rumored to be living in the unspoiled canyons.
@wpistol I like your imagination.
@wpistol This is as realistic as the scene we just watched. Therefore it happened.
Of course he survived: In the aftermath he was recruited into the military, and fought apes for a while! 😅
Wonder how the bison, bears, and wolves reacted to that explosion.
There are volcanoes bigger than Yellowstone
❤ A Magnificent Beautiful Extraordinary Classic 😊
fun fact i fell asleep in the theater around this 400th crisis part
The scream....daaaadyyyyy!!!....always got me super intense with this scene!
I just realized the actor who is playing Charlie is the same actor who played as Haymitch in the hunger games series
Hermosa película
Gracias
You can hate the storyline or the acting but this is one of the best disaster movies out there
Physics took a day off.
Physics < Plot Armor
Guy then wakes up and realises he's still in the room
This movie is so much fun and has great effects. Love it.
Only thing for me is, here in Yellowstone with all this fire falling from the sky, what are other animals like bison, wolves, bears, coyotes, elk, pumas, beavers, fish, birds and etc, doing to escape the disaster? Indeed, we NEVER see how other animal species besides humans across the planet are dealing with the apocalypse. Even stray dogs and cats are nowhere to be seen.
stil beats me why he did not just take the motor-bike😂😂
Instead of grabbing the small stack of maps and running for the plane, lets look through them one by one while the world is exploding around you!
Someone should add the Deadpool "like a prayer" song over this
i love how jackson curtis tries to make it fun for lily,saying they need to find the map like in the pirate movies she has watched,he even calls charlie the pirate to make it all fun and nothing to worry about
back when men in movies were allowed to have at least SOME competence. Now it's a privilege exclusive to women, blacks and gay folk…
