That wasn't a model when they blew up the bridge @3:34...that was the old US 1 bridge that was there before they built the existing one. They were going to demolish a section anyway so that boats could navigate the channel, so they blew it up as part of the movie.
This is what I was talking about. ruclips.net/video/fb-wMkxB8Xw/видео.html Since this seems to be a common comment, I'll pin this one.
@@CWLemoine Please ruin Fire Birds for us Rotorheads. It's our Top Gun
Cool.
@@testthepest6259 Good god, I forgot all about Firebirds.
@@CWLemoine you should look (Hot shots) haha it’s so stupid 🤟🤟🇺🇸
Ahnold doesn't care what the harrier was or was not designed to do. IT DOES WHAT AHNOLD WANTS.
so true!!!
Get to the choppa… plane
IT DOES WHAT AHNOLD WANTS. This almost sounds like a CHUCK NORRIS fact.

I love that you spelled it "Ah-nold" 😂
Lol true
I worked on the set of True Lies in Nov 1993 during the Florida Keys filming. They had built a 42' model of the old 7 mile bridge on the ocean side of Sugarloaf Key in shallow water about 3 feet deep. What you see blown up by missiles is a model. To harriers did make live attack runs on the old seven Mile Bridge but when they cut to the bridge it was a model. They had to wait for a day when the wind was light so that the waves or water around the bridge was proportional. Otherwise it would've been easy to see the mismatch the wave size and the model. It cost millions to build that Bridge Model.
The scene where the limo goes down the old seven Mile Bridge, it took three days to film the limo pulling Jamie Lee out the top. It wasn't actually Jamie Lee Curtis it was a stunt double. From a distance you couldn't tell the difference and even pretty close you couldn't tell the difference. Jamie Lee was so nice and funny on set btw. The helicopters were flying sideways about 70 miles an hour down the bridge- they dropped the stunt double who was dangling below the helicopter on a harness through the sunroof and pulled her out. Yes, it took three days to get that one shot because the timing was critical. No way with her going to let Jamie Lee do that. The limo didn't go over the side of the bridge, it stopped short. A barge was sunk with bridge rubble on it to make it look like the old bridge had blown up - it was full of blasting cap rope with lots of cameras. Like I said that shot took three days because we had to get everything set up and one camera would run out of film so we have to pause while somebody went over in a boat to reload. I have a picture of the explosion on the sunken barge with the bridge rubble. There was a full scale model of a Harrier jet built for that shot on the marathon side of the 3 mile bridge in the parking lot-5he one Arnold gets into. You could not tell the difference between the model and the real thing it was that good. That little parking lot to walk out on the old seven Mile Bridge, it was resurfaced with special harden concrete to withstand a hairier landing. That's right at least one of the carriers scorched a palm tree coming in and landed right there it was pretty cool. I have a lot more memories of this film because I spent so many hours on set. It's amazing how much people get wrong with this movie.
The safety coordinator Was the only one besides James Cameron that could all stop the filming. One time the safety coordinator saw a problem with a harness attached to the helicopter that was going to lift a stunt double. He got on the radio and Gave the code for all stop. Remember Brandon Lee was killed by a blank that wasn't really a blank so the safety guy was a very important job And had the final say so if something doesn't look safe. We had I think three helicopters that started up every morning at 3:30am went to the Marathon airport fueled up he got into position to film the day's shots. At the end of Marathon there's a place or was a place called Knights Key homeplace was rented for the movie set. That's where the food truck was too. It was awesome and made the best food I've ever tasted. It drove all the way from California as did the water truck that put the fires out. Many memories of that movie . . .
That's awesome!
@@CWLemoine the pilots you saw when Arnold jumped into the Harrier at the 7-mile bridge parking lot were actors. But you probably figured that, you know what a pilot looks like with 2000+ hrs in a high performance jet. I believe Washington approved the two Harriers from the Marines and this gig didn't go to any 1st Lieutenants. I did see the real Pilots one time and they looked like Majors on up. When the two harriers made their missile attack on the 7 mile Bridge, Cameron et al were next to them in a commercial jet (A little smaller than a GIV) outfitted with an external camera on a gimbal. We were nearby out of the shot on a big barge to the north. For me personally it was some of the most fun I ever had over three days watching them set up this crazy shot. I lived in the keys for 13 fun filled years. A friend of mine had a little Cessna 172 at mile marker 17 and we would go up and film waterspouts on good days. One of the few places left you can orbit waterspouts!
@@JimEdds So interesting! I used to live on Sugarloaf and people were always fishing off the old bridge.
One of the two “pilots” on the harrier bridge scene is my uncle in law. He said he met all the main actors, got photos, and took a personal picture with Arnold. Cool that I have some relation with him.
Sweet there is a connection
Whats his last name? I actually was in contact with one of the 2 pilots a few years ago, bought an ejection seat harness from him which may be the one he wore in this movie given the date it was in service on the label. Sutherland was his last name.
Was it SSgt Scott Dotson?
@@pontiacGXPfan definitely wouldn't be an SNCO flying those harriers
This movie is such a classic. Really captures 90s action movies. You didn't ruin this, I think I want to watch it again now. ha
That
The 80's were better. Mover ruins flying scenes from Commando...
Let's see a breakdown of "Hot Shots!"
"Sayonara Saddam!"
Epic
is it true that Walleye Vision is not disqualifying?
We need this in 2020
Yes hot shots yes
Hollywood needs to learn BRRRT.
BRRRT........TTTTRRRRTT
For real isn't there a single movie on where they got the freaking sounds of the 20/25/30mm right???
This is one of those things that never really made sense to me. Most inaccuracies or things he pointed out makes sense from a plot perspective or the unrealistic scenes make the movie look cooler, but the real gun sounds are actually much better than these ones.
@@agostonbazmajer1100 exactly! I'm able to whistand the suspension of disbelief with quite a lot of stuff, but as a musician and sound designer, bad sound design always breaks my immersion in half all the time, also on videogames...
There is only one movie I know that gets it right and that’s the final countdown.
I saw this film at the AAFES theater in Kitzingen, Germany in 1994. The line you can JUST barely hear at 7:20 here, when the Marine pilot said "you have to sign for that" got the biggest cheer in the whole movie because it was the most accurate military depiction ever committed to film!
Semper Fi
Tranfering an aircraft via 1297
Yeah, we all laughed our asses off in the theater when that line happened. You could really tell the civilians in the audience - they were looking at all of the vets and current guys laughing like lunatics.
I watched this in an AAFES theater while based on Okinawa.
I remember seeing the Harrier scene in my uncle's house when I was like 9 and oh god the you're fired scene made us all roar with laughter. I still remember it to this day. I never get tired of seeing it.
I love the look Arnold gives before saying it too, like he had a shower thought to use that line and has been waiting years for a situation to come up that it would fit.
You can’t really ruin True Lies, it was silly in a fun way. Doubt anyone took it seriously! It was nice of them to give the Harrier some love! Also yay Final Countdown!!!
I second Final Countdown!
Funnily enough the comms and weapons deployment in the first part are better than some 'serious movies'.
And the jets don't miraculously spawn new weapons.
If there's a remake, they should use the F35B now (idk if it's the B model ths VTOL)
And Tia Carrere was smokin’ in this!
Final Countdown was awesome! I remember at the beginning cranking the sound super high for when the F-14 lights the burners…. Pure music to the ears!
Very surprised that the Stinger failed to lock-on given that the Harrier has an IR signature the size of Texas. Also, "these things are loud!" As someone who saw one doing a demonstration at an Airshow... Hell yeah they are.
Well an instant before firing the Stinger did turn into a prop rather than an inert drill launcher, and those are less accurate. More seriously the Stinger is stupid for the first 660 feet after launch, so it was probably like "wait no what was that I just flew past oh nevermind." Plus if it's swinging all over the place like that during the period it's supposed to be flying in a straight line, it's probably completely borked and would only hit the Harrier by mistake.
@@CruelestChris Fair points. It should also be noted that Douchebag McGee took the Stinger right out of the Weapon's Crate so I don't know if the BCU (Battery Cooling Unit) had a chance to Prime the Missile enough for an accurate IR Acquisition. Also, the backblast from the Missile would have fried just about anyone else who was behind the business end of the launcher; including the Truck Driver. .
I too have seen a Harrier give a hover demo, at an airshow at McConnell many moons ago. Oh holy hell yeah they're loud! When he took off I was thinking yeah, now everybody there is deaf.
Ahh, the Harrier. Such a beautiful piece of English design work...
A floating bundle of explosive noise
Yeah - the most memorable Harrier scene. When there had been no F35B yet. And Tia Carrera at her best.
Die hard 4 had F35
@@avkk2314 nice
@@avkk2314
Also Very unrealistic etc.
@@avkk2314
"Yet".
@@mrandrossguy9871 well at least s PC falling into an engine and destroying it was realistic
Also, the most amazing part of True Lies is how they made Tom Arnold so competent.
That limo to helo transition is still one of the greatest stunts in history
True Lies is probably one of the best American remakes. Being bigger, over the top and starring Arnold works really well within this story.
Remakes?
True Lies is a remake of the film "La Totale". It's a rare case of a remake standing on it's own rather than being a pale copy of the original. "The Man with One Red Shoe" with DeNiro or "The Departed" with DiCaprio are also remakes. A lot of movies are adapated to the American audience, which is a shame because foreign cinema is worth looking into (not that American cinema can't make great things on it's own).
@@kiros2032 Wow I never knew it was a remake, and it came out only 3 years after the original.
Another remake I think about is, "La Cage aux Folles" into "The Birdcage". Now, how well do they compare? I couldn't say. I've only seen bits of the original.
@@brianb8060 Never seen the remake, and the last time I saw the original was probably in the 90s so I have sparse recollections.
After all these years, I had no idea. Thanks for that info. One of my favorites!
It was worth it just to see the above shot of Jamie Lee in that little black dress.
Yeah - the most memorable Harrier scene. When there had been no F35B yet. And Tia Carrera at her best.
Especially when you were 15 at the time.🤩
@@brianb8060 Or from my perspective looking back at this and realizing for the first time that my best girlfriend ever looked like a skinny version of JLC here in this configuration.
I remember hearing when it came to Harriers they got every detail right in it's looks. That even the Marines had to look at the tail numbers to make sure that they were the fake ones. That's how good of a job they production crew did.
Firefox (1982), Clint Eastwood.
YES!
I agree. Mover, this one needs your attention.
The Air Force was heavily-involved with Stargate SG-1, at least.
To the point that TWO Air Force Chiefs of Staff appeared on the show.
The Air Force awarded Richard Dean Anderson an honorary O-5 rank for his positive portrayal of an Air Force officer on the show.
@@ryankowalski8375 O-5 is Lt Col, Anderson was made an honorary Brigadier General (O-7).
@@ryankowalski8375 any relation to the Kowalski who went on the original stargate mission?
@@carlos_takeshi
Someone had asked, Anderson I believe, if the airforce had any colonels like O'Neill.
Answer, worse than him.
I've been to an airshow at Andrews AFB that featured a Harrier that went into hover a few hundred yards from the viewing area and it was possibly the single loudest sound I have ever heard. Everyone on the bridge when the Harrier was taking off is now deaf lol.
True Lies is my all-time favourite action-comedy.... It has right amount of laugh out loud moments with jaw-dropping action sequences.
Oh Yes Final Countdown. What a great movie. The Tomcat scenes rule.
Tomcats!
You're FIRED! Best line ever!
Você vai pra rua🤣
Best scene is when Jamie drops the UZI and kills all the bad guys...
Except it wasn't an UZI, it was a MAC-10 variant, equally famous during this and the 80s era in any case.
Anyway that's a classic action movie and let's be completely honest - we all love it.
We NEED a review of "Con Air!"
How about reacting to Flight of the Intruder
I want him to Ruin "Hot shots" just to see his reactions.
"obviously you can't land a bird without either wing or the landing gear" haha Still one of my fave scenes in that.
"lost a wing"
"you're doing fine"
"there went the other one"
@@shadowproductions969 “okay Topper, call the ball!”
“Touchin’ down!”
*plunk*
Jamie Lee Curtis was "in her prime" for abour 35 years.
You should be a consultant for the next Hollywood fighter jet movie
Best part of this movie not aircraft related is where he plays that tape on the phone 😂😂😂
Still one of the funnest action movies you can watch. As a federal agent, the part where he pulled a surveillance team off a target to watch his wife had me rolling We had an ASAC once who basically did the same thing.
Defund the FBI
@@logicplague Mr Trump?
@@Manooshen Just a citizen who is concerned about these agencies being weaponized against political opponents, and you should be as well. It's always funny until it happens to you.
I can confirm certain parts of this scene. Yes there was 2 harriers there, yes they did blow up the OLD key west bridge. No missles. They digitally removed the new bridge at the time.
Q: Why doesn't the Air Force help with any movies?
A: Iron Eagle II
Oh they did the biggest help ever... The Stargate series, although not much flying though.
What are you talking about? The Air Force was featured in "The Rock"... with their F-18s ...
@@pinchespiderman Navy flys F-18's. AF has F-15's, F-16's, F-22's, F-35's, A-10's (when Army strong just isn't enough), AC-130's (again, when Army strong just isn't enough).
@@sjp35productions6 That's why it was so ironic that when the Air Force got featured in one of the 90s blockbusters... it was in Navy aircraft.
We can also mention Air Force presence in more recent movies, almost always unfavorable, such as Man of Steel, where the taxpayers lost about $320 million worth of F-35s alone.
Haha, "That'll buff out." This is one of my favorite action movies of all time, I saw it in the theater when I was in high school. No ruining here! It's still a classic.
Broken Arrow is my recommendation for a Movie Ruin.
That’s a good one, what about executive decision ?
@@richardm2661 74Gear did a movie review of that one.
@@scottharshberger9644 thanks will check it out
Best movie and best soundtrack ever.
It never ceases to amaze me how they nailed the shot at 1:40 .. have Arnold and ...Arnold speaking their lines just as the 2 Harriers zoom by all in one shot
I'd STILL love to see Mover "ruin" Flight of the Intruder. Much good stuff in that movie.
Seconded!
Thirded!
he did actually
@@pontiacGXPfan yes, he has now "ruined" Flight of the Intruder. If I recall correctly, he loved it.
Finally, a movie that demands a full evaluation by a military aviator of the part played by Jamie Lee Curtiss.
“That’ll buff out...”
I’m so dead...
thinking about it when you breakdown each scene, i dont realise how much effort goes into it........ only when you talk about stuff they had to do with the plane and that it makes u think what a good film it was :D
I haven't even gotten 1 minute in yet - but how DARE you sir, this movie is classic. On the other hand, I love your content haha.
12:46 “Jump! Daddy will catch you!” How is that not one of his famous quotes. Lol
Your helicopter bits were super insightful that I'd never even think to ask
"Thats a Textbook Tasker Take Off!"
"Jihadis have air support" 😂
I saw a RAF harrier at an air show in the Netherlands back in 2002. Vertical takeoff on a grass air strip. Dirt and grass flying everywhere. The noise was unbelievable! I've never see a piece of machinery make so many kids cry. It was deffening and awesome!
You have to admit. The use of the Harrier was more entertaining in the movie theater than it's use in Battlefield Earth... No need to have a Mover Ruins Movies on that one... It pretty much ruined itself. Thanks for all the great videos! And thanks so much for your service!!!
Everytime I watch the movie on DVD, I comeback to this amusing video.
The end aim-9 shot at the end can't be ruined for me. It's one of the most hilariously silly things I've ever seen in a film and I love it! When I first saw it with my brother a long time ago we went into a hysterical laughing fit which got us in a bit of trouble.
Also it's a film that has a horse v motorcycle chase.
Where is that aviation scene with Jamie Lee Curtis doing that....uh...dance? LOL :)
When I was in the British military is was stationed at RAF Gutersloh West Germany, until its closer due to the Russians quitting, which had 2 Harrier GR-5 squadrons. My on base accomodation block was close by where they liked to hover. It was really annoying when I took local leave as the noise, even through the double glazed windows, was enough to drown out my TV on full volume. And for the record the GR-5 can hover for a really long time, made even more annoying as they operated in a flight of three and when one was done with his hover it'd move off and be replaced by the second, and then the third. After a week of head aches I signed out some camping gear and set up in a field away from base for my second week.
You have to ruin "American Made" with Tom Cruise. It's a really good movie.
74 gear did that
Love your comments during this movie review!!!! Thank you Mover, and have a safe 2020 Thanksgiving Day!!!
FWIW, I work with the guy who was the sound engineer on this movie. We didn't talk about the gun sound, but we did discuss the engine sound of the Harrier. He said that when recorded to audio, the Harrier just sounds like a vacuum cleaner, so the movie sound has to be enhanced. This is true for a lot of sounds taken from real life - when recorded they just don't have the same impact or what your mind thinks they sound like, so they need to be pumped up a bit :)
30-some years ago, I went to school for audio production. One of the classes was "audio for video", and one day we dissected the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indy is having a fistfight with the big bald dude while the German flying wing idles behind them. Our instructor pointed out that with the engines that close, you would NEVER hear things like fists on jaws (sound simulated by hitting two 2x4s together and then slowing down the playback!), the fuel gushing out of the tanker truck, or the splatter of the big guy being shredded by the prop. So we dug into how those various sounds were created and layered and placed across the audio field to make everything prominent without being muddy. There's a good reason that "sound design/editing/mixing" get their own Oscar categories - it's a lot of work, and getting it right is a fine craft.
I saw a pair of Harriers at Osh Kosh a few years ago and they were by FAR the loudest things I'd heard there. No conversations 2 feet above the cockpit at all.
.....you're fired. Still one of the best one liners.
Terrorists have feelings too. And I want to touch every nerve ending in their body & mind... all at once. Thanks CW for an entertaining review once again.
I really love the mover ruins movies videos, it’s really cool to find out what they did right and wrong with the various planes and such, while still respecting that it’s a movie at the end of the day.
Mover, man, this movie is a classic and one of my favorites! Who doesn't like Arnold! cheers :)
"Flaming Dragon." ROFL!
"Aww, that'll buff out." LMFAO!
Loved it all.
You better not shit on this movie! It's one of my favorites as a kid and it made the harrier one of my favorite aircraft.
Can you react to the final countdown next?
While working at MCAS Cherry Point, my Dad helped build the Harrier Seat for ARNOLD. Pretty cool!!
"Oh, that'll buff out..." Haha. Great video, man. Thanks for the upload!
How about a reaction to “Airport 75”, “Airport 77” , “Airport 79” and “Air Force One”? Thanks!
He already did Air Force one 👌🏾
Your sad fact for the day: the Concorde in Airport 79 is the one that exploded on take-off in real life.
@@CruelestChris Damn.
Glad you are sharing about how Hollywood uses fake physics. The girl who plays Dana was in the movie Bring It On.
Flight of the intruder! Popping smoke!
7:04 i was waiting for the funny "ok bye", but ya left it out.
"There's nothing in the rocket pods..." That moment of realization when you notice that the other guy's wheelgun is totally empty.
My wife and I just noticed that we were your age when this movie came out, and you were 11? lol!! Time sure does fly by. Love your channel!
Intro Music sounds like that from Escape Plan with Schwarzenegger and Stallone - Great Movie. True Lies was a great movie and Jamie Lee was in nice form. Thanks CW
Thank you for the reminder of young jamie lee curtis' rack and Eliza Dushku.
No matter what had been said, Lemoine enjoy it. He really didn't throw out too many punch here. Thank true lie really put a smile on your face.
Right at the beginning where Arnie swims under the ice, he dry suit he’s wearing starts as a rear entry which you need help to open the zip then magically turns into a front entry
These crack me up. Excellent work.
This movie is frickin perfect
i remember seeing this movie in theatres when it came out. didn't even know harriers existed till i saw them in the movie and was blown away.
Good show man! 👍, and those harriers, I want to fly one someday!
Hilarious! Thanks Mover, as always you made my day.
Never let the spinny thing on the top stop unless you're on the ground.
Peace brother!
Something else I found funny about the flying scenes. The Harrier is one of the loudest airplanes I've ever been around. There is no way you can talk to someone anywhere near one when it's cranked up!
“Da bwidddge is awwwt!” “Da bwidddge is awwwt!”
I'm still waiting for you and Jolly Pilot to do Firebirds.
I remember seeing a Harrier fly over me at an air show and they are REALLY loud and scary even when they aren’t shooting at you.
I Iove these! You’re commentary is just gold. It always gives me a laugh and cheers me up to watch you ruin movies 👍
14 year old Eliza Dushku ,before she was "Faith" on BTVS
LOL I was actually there on Brickell Av watching that Harrier hanging from a crane the entire day. They had built extra floors on that building and repeatedly blew glass windows down to the street for hours to film that. As a aviation enthusiast the filming of this movie completely ruined my workday.
I enjoyed this very much. True Lies is a great movie.
I met the Marine pilot that flew the Harrier, callsign Nasty, in the movie while working in Iraq. They replaced him on the bridge with taller actors in flight gear.
Tropic Thunder would be the funnest ruin yet. Loved that movie. So quotable, as you did in this one, "Flaming Dragon..." ;)
When I was at Yokota the Marines would come through every now and then and do a hover departure. It was always cool.
I was waiting for you to do this movie..😂😂😂
me too.
Dude that gun sounded right. Sincerely, the Crossman pumpmaster 760 with the optional 5 round pellet clip.
HARRIERS!
The Navy also worked with the producers of JAG when they allowed filming of F-14s. Live Free or Die Hard is a another fun one but with the F-35B.
So they had three Harriers for the filming from VMA-223 costing them a total of $100,736 (I guess the third was a spare since you only ever see two, marked WP-03 and WP-16, in the film). Arnold's plane is a 1:1 scale fibreglass replica with a real Harrier canopy and landing gear (I guess for authenticity) with acetylene gas-guns. Some of the sequence is greenscreen work on a sound stage, but more impressively some of it _wasn't_ , with the prop being "puppeteered" using a tower crane that was painted out in post-production.
Said prop was then left in a desert somewhere until 2012 where they dusted it off and used it in the SHIELD helicarrier scene in The Avengers (it's the one Thor knocks The Hulk into) and then got bought by Volo Auto Museum in Illinois, where it was refurbished and put on display.
We used to call them "Skairrers" when I was in. Before I got out, I know you had to be at least an O-3 to be considered to fly one or be on the promotion list for O-3 at the end of flight school for it because they are so hard to control. They burn lots of JP-8 and generate tons of engine heat while hovering so I never saw them do that while deployed, only short takeoffs and vertical landing on amphibs. First time I ever saw one hover was while working an air show during Family Day. I was like "Oh, so that's what that looks like...". Was just as amazed as the kids watching it.
Cool video as always! May i suggest Pearl Harbour 2001 movie next ;-) .. or some other kind of ww2 movie (with aviation in it ofc).
How about the FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER ? Another good Hollywood aviation movie with Intruders and Skyraiders... good stuff.
