Yeah Michael Crichton seemed to have issues with women for a while. In many of his books there was always one female character whose only purposes seemed to be to aggravate the reader and cause nothing but trouble for the other characters. It was the same deal with the sister in "Jurassic Park". They rewrote the siblings and gave some of the brother's characteristics to the sister so that she wasn't just annoying and putting everyone in danger like she was in the book.
This was the kind of well-made movie that made a 10 year old feel like they were watching a regular grown-up movie, because it is easy to understand, without being obviously patronising or child-orientated.
That "Push me please" is the only part of the movie that I remember and it is the only line that has carried an entire movie on its back. Well, Sesame Cakes also.
By the time they'd all finish jumping out of the plane they'd be so spread out and separated they'd never be able to find any other specially since their jumping into a jungle.
This movie is awesome, some reason it caught a lot of flak and was deemed silly. Its got everything, action, great comedy and talking gorillas and ugly gorillas.
Very true. Standardized test takers that do well have the WORST street smarts. Poor common sense skills and only can think in a given scenario, not in an evolving scenario. Two different types of thinking.
@@gunslinigertitan He's never been in a situation like this before, so its pretty understandable. Smart as he is, his brain is trying to catch up with what's going on. I'd be pretty freaked out too.
I don't always parachute away from my own plane, but when I do, I wait until the heat seeking rockets have been taken care of and the plane is safe. Then I jump. Edit: Source: Pilots diary
To be really honest.... the Whole movie could have just been about Laura Linney, Ernie Hudson trying to find Bruce Campbell and the diamonds...they really didn’t need anything with the Gorilla or Dylan Walsh...even keep Tim Curry in it too...
The gorilla being returned to her home was Karen and most likely Tim’s cover as well. You wouldn’t tell anyone you’re to the jungle to look for diamonds and secret satellite technology, would you?
They needed to jump out in rapid succession. The way they jumped would have put them quite a distance apart when they landed. There is a reason paratroopers all jump as close to the same time as possible.
I USED TO THIS FILM ,,1995S`BEST FILM BEST PICTURES NICE STORY MOVIE IS ABLE TO OSCAR AWARD ...OUR CHILDS ALSO WATCH AND LIKE IT .........INAMULLAH FUZAL E RABBI
It wouldn't have worked. The engines on the DC-3 would've had a larger IR signature and flares generally work only when the plane evades and gives the missile nothing else to focus on *but* the flare.
I love when she's just like "Figure it out!" Her character is so much more badass in the movie than in the book.
True, but the book was 100x better... But I guess that's usually the case. BTW, I always felt Linney's hotness was always underrated.

My favorite part is the two of them (Linney, Hudson) standing side by side firing the flares. They look so badass.
+SansMerci1013 I was only eight when I first saw the movie. I shipped them so hard.
G. Rism that's super understandable!
Ikr!! Freaking awesome!!
I always thought that was Badass she's like an ex CIA operative, like damn.
Very memorable scene.
Haven't seen this in like 8 years but this part instantly came to mind.
Using a Flare gun to deter heat seekers is an ingenious idea. This film is a classic.
He shouldve just tossed a seasame cake down there
Funnier then the line I had
+Nobody Home what was it? i wanna know...
+drchen054 .
Naaa , I couldn't .... it already lost the spontaneity
Gooper Loper
Literally made me lol
SAVE THE CAKES!!
I always laugh at that bit...THE PILOT AND CO PILOT ARE ALREADY GONE lol.
They are the smartest ones on the plane!
The pilot in that scene was actually Jimmy Buffett.
@@ColonelCarnage he can actually fly in real life
laura linney is awesome. It's great to finally see her shine in the show The Ozark.
This was the kind of well-made movie that made a 10 year old feel like they were watching a regular grown-up movie, because it is easy to understand, without being obviously patronising or child-orientated.
I still feel it's a good movie in my adult years. 😂👍
One hell of a shot with those flare guns
I love Linney's look and posture when Hormolka freezes in the door and asks Kahega for a push.
That "Push me please" is the only part of the movie that I remember and it is the only line that has carried an entire movie on its back. Well, Sesame Cakes also.
Stop eating my sesame cake
lol "carried an entire movie on its back", you're such a kidder
Shut up you filthy... filthy what!? 🤯
They'd be miles apart, from the first jumper to the last.
Take them forever to find all their gear as well. Thick jungle and all.
Shaddap
True but it's also a movie
The plane was flying in a circle. Captain PlotArmor told me so.
You want me to push you too? that part makes me laugh!
Ikr 😅
By the time they'd all finish jumping out of the plane they'd be so spread out and separated they'd never be able to find any other specially since their jumping into a jungle.
@SuperPunch76 They sent out mind waves, levitated and converged...
Maybe the luggage had trackers
They played Marco Polo😉
It's a very dumb movie
"Well, the pilot and the co-pilot are already gone, so what are you gonna do?"
CALL THE GHOSTBUSTERS. XD
XD
I haven’t seen this, since it first came out. When did they jump out
Would've been cute if after the last person jumped the Ghostbusters theme had started 😂
Who remembers when Taco bell did promos for this movie and Godzilla. Good times.
Yeah on the table of Amy's mobile home near the beginning. That's why I always eat Taco Bell when I watch this movie.
Just searched for Congo Taco Bell commercial, can confirm, they exist and are on RUclips 😂
Taco bell also did promos for demolition man
@@eddiea1120 oh yeah!!!
God I miss the volcano burrito
1:55 "PUSH ME PLIS , HARDER PLIS"
That part is classic
Figure it out!
I love this scene. And the actors made a good cast!
Lies again? Brain Food
@@NazriB Good God shut up
@@NazriB shush
I loved this movie as a kid. Still like it.
1:12
My Reaction when my boss asks if i can stay overtime.....
Why? OT is the best. I worked OT today. If you work 14% more than full time you get 40% more money. It is so worth it.
Staying for OT yes. Staying on the last payday with no chance of OT then that's the reaction
This movie is awesome, some reason it caught a lot of flak and was deemed silly. Its got everything, action, great comedy and talking gorillas and ugly gorillas.
I liked it as well. I know its not the best but its not boring.
I guess people were hoping for the excitement of The Lost World Jurassic Park since Michael is the writer of the Congo novel too.
Delroy Lindo stole the film.
And sesame cake!!!
It is silly. Which is great!
I saw this film when i was 8 and i love it prime 90s film that is so underrated.
Congo was the best
"Why are they putting on parachutes!?"
I'm thinking, "Really? Come on. I thought scientists were supposed to be smart!" 😩
Very true. Standardized test takers that do well have the WORST street smarts. Poor common sense skills and only can think in a given scenario, not in an evolving scenario. Two different types of thinking.
To quote Egon Spengler he was "terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought"
Hated this character he was so annoying and stupid.
@@gunslinigertitan He's never been in a situation like this before, so its pretty understandable. Smart as he is, his brain is trying to catch up with what's going on. I'd be pretty freaked out too.
He knew. He was just hoping he was wrong and would be reassured
Pilot and Copilot left the plane in great trim before bailing, how nice of them!
We had the skills, we had the talent!!
As much as the book is better than the movie I have to say that this scene is much better than in the book.
Yoo tim curry eyes when laura hands him a parachute is hilarious lmfao pause it at 1.43 and you'll laugh as well
‘Push me please!’ Yeah that’s how I went skydiving too!
underrated scene
Ernie Hudson ( playing Clark gable) makes this movie watchable.
Loved this movie.
I forgot. This was actually a really neat movie.
Ladies and gentleman, a strong female character..
90s had them.
Yeah, if I were in that situation I'd probably ask someone to push me too.
Rudy rudy Rudy rudy 😆
Once again, This movie was so much better then it had any right to be.
That's why it's so good
love this movie
I don't always parachute away from my own plane, but when I do, I wait until the heat seeking rockets have been taken care of and the plane is safe. Then I jump.
Edit: Source: Pilots diary
And jump just around the corner from where this military group was following and shooting them
They had at least one more rocket and Karen and Monroe were out of flares.
My lovely part that those pilots jump first :))
Telling the wrong person adebisi to push harder, haahah
I forgot how exciting this movie are
GAHEGGAH!!!!!!!!! This was my favorite film of all time when i was 5.
Great movie very entertaining
"Push me please"...into a good movie.
like this one!!
AFAIK this is the only action role Laura Linney has ever done, and she was pretty damn good at it!
I'm gonna get hate for this but I love this movie
I see he got fired from The Plaza Hotel after the incident with Kevin McCallister, now he is jumping off the plane
Never seen this. I’ll check it out
Truemans wife really did learn from the conflict during her acting days.
Heavyweights, Home Alone 1/2, and Congo are in top 5 movies for me.
You need to see more movies.
Nah
@@HarryBalzak shut up. He can like what he wants
Not the best movie, but certainly a better scene than better movies have had.
If only flight MH17 had used flare guns...
And TWA 800
I would be trippin........ive never jumped out of a plane or parachuted in my life.........and I hate fallin lol
Frank n Furter just got kicked out of an Airplane 😊
Oh! so thats what handheld flares are for! I always thought there were use for emergency signaling!
Tim curry is the best
That's such a terrible idea hahah. Jumping out so far apart over jungle. I mean, they could have just kept flying haha
You did see the plane blow up after they all landed, right?
1:55, "push me, please"
To be really honest.... the Whole movie could have just been about Laura Linney, Ernie Hudson trying to find Bruce Campbell and the diamonds...they really didn’t need anything with the Gorilla or Dylan Walsh...even keep Tim Curry in it too...
The gorilla being returned to her home was Karen and most likely Tim’s cover as well. You wouldn’t tell anyone you’re to the jungle to look for diamonds and secret satellite technology, would you?
@@christytauler5672 Exactly
How to download this movie ??
One star for RUclips
These are some amazing stunts. That is a VERY LOW altitude for HALO!!!
HALO = High Altitude Low Opening. This is a LALO(Low Altitude Low Opening).
0:28,0:45 so Karen and Monroe are fire the flares at the missile so the plane won't get hit
Somehow "Push me" isn't what I think I would say at that moment...
Ladies and Gentlemen, you just gave Call of Duty an idea.
Ooohh... legstrap mounted pilot chutes, my how sport parachutes have changed!!!
Nice shot
Badass.
They needed to jump out in rapid succession. The way they jumped would have put them quite a distance apart when they landed. There is a reason paratroopers all jump as close to the same time as possible.
Would Stingers be tricked by flares, I don't think they would.
Push me please..... HAVE A LOVELAY DAY!!!

eu queria muito assistir esse filme congo
0:27,0:43 Militas are firing the FIM-92A Stinger at the plane
(As they all jump off of the plane.)
"Abandon film!"
Good luck with that map, PHD.
Movie is meh but I love Munroe . A movie with him as hero could have been great.
Neither are they!
Push him? Why does the way he said it sound so sexual?
Because it was. Your suspicions are 100 percent correct
Also because it's Tim Curry
misa.kuncar it would double x 10 if it was David Bowie
Romanian accent
push him real good
God.. They took all took so long jumping that they would be spread out all over the place in dense jungle.
Swahili is Africa language if you agree like it
i always wondered about the flares and heatseekers part
It wouldn't have worked. The engines on the DC-3 would've had a larger IR signature and flares generally work only when the plane evades and gives the missile nothing else to focus on *but* the flare.
i dont think they had heat seeking missiles
Opening a plane emergency door mid flight ✈️ 😑 then shooting a missile dead on. Everyone's just sitting around watching
Was that Adabissi?
The original mary sue. I remember laughing at the trailer for this movie. It was bad. Then watched the movie itself which was... ok... then... bad.
I swear to God they don't make good movies like this anymore. Everything feels like a generic, predictable cookie cutter nonsense.
Yeah movies like this are badly overhated and unappreciated
eu queria que colocasse português este filme é muito bom
A stinger missile launcher?!
Awww Laura Linney, GF material
Why in the heck does RUclips take down all the movies, its like they feed a sample of a drug then you gotta buy the whole thing, BULL CRAP
In Dem. Rep. of Congo YOU shoot the Stinger missile down.
Classic
What are the african soldiers saying, besides swahili
Oh noooooooo!!! lmafooooo.... that's like me....
ADEBISI!
I don't remember this movie being soo terrible. But then I was just a kid.
Thats the plane that bane hijack
eu assistir a quase todos dias e antigo Potter completo
