Stallone's costume in this makes him look like Chris Redfield in the original Resident Evil.
This film also got released the same year the original ‘Resident Evil’ did. Which may be just a coincidence, or not
Kept thinking the same thing while I was watching lol
Nice! Yeah I can see the resemblance. Also, the original cover for the game on the US with the spiders and the muscle-bound Chris with a shotgun? Now that I see him, he sorta resembles Stallone as well.
lol
Nice catch!
Underrated & forgotten classic. Absolutely LOVED this movie. Was tense as hell!
That happens to a lot of movies, sadly! Wrong time, wrong place.
Your out of your mind if you think this movie is underrated just because some people dont like it
@@mtechcom4863 The movie is good there is always going to be movies people dont like fact of life
@@blackentertainmenthistory8601most people love this movie its just that it seems people tend to forget about it when they talk about great movies
Truly one of the under appreciated movies of all time. Being in the midst of people who are so negative when youre trying to save them...relatable
I watched this film to death on VHS, Stallone was in the middle of his 90’s renaissance with this one. Great, fun movie.
I have a minor anecdote relating to this picture, which now makes me CRINGE at myself. During the filming of this I was living in Rome, where this was shot. Anyhow, one Friday night, myself and my flat mate where in the American Bookstore. It had a small video rental department in the back, and whilst means Ralph are looking what to rent, who should walk in but Stallone. He was with a blonde woman, which i didn't recognise.
My friend failed to notice that Sly was also in the store. I thought it was hilarious to call out Stallone movies, which i knew Ralph would hate. Obviously, he was very vocal about hating my choices. He was loud enough for Sly to hear and I struggled to not burst out laughing. In fairness to Stallone, he was a great sport and grabbed a copy of Judge Dredd and whilst handing it to my pal, said "I hear this one is pretty good". My pal was literally dumbstruck and just repeatedly looked at the VHS and then Stallone.
I think Stallone was so cool about it, as he was trying to impress the mystery blonde on his arm. I was only 18 at the time, so that's my excuse for being so cringey.
PS, I've never seen Daylight, but I love Oli's reviews.
I don't see what's so cringe about it to be honest. It's a good story and I would have reacted the same even now. The situation was legit hilarious.
I like it. Stallones got a great sense of humour and is very self defecating.
This was great! And you're great!
@@ikmor he's very self defecating
@@johnsmith-wx5fb Well everybody's self-defecating, but Stallone sounds self-deprecating.
I loved Daylight. It's one of those where anytime it's on cable, I watch. It always rips my heart out when they leave George. Stan Shaw is always so good, and his final scene with Sly is pitch perfect.
Agreed good/sad moment.
“I don’t know what to think”. Stallone’s delivery was perfect. He sounded so defeated.
Huge fan of this film. Curious to learn about it. Ty for this.
Personally, I love this movie. When everyone comes to help George, I break down. It's a great hope of mine for people to put all the bullshit aside and do whatever they can together to save someone else in just one moment. 😢❤❤
The music score to this film is breathtaking. I legit find this film underrated and gorgeous.
After watching this, I went to Spotify to listen the theme song, and it became earworm for whole day. It just oozes 90's action music.
I’d completely forgot this movie existed!
Time to hunt it down and watch it.
Rimmer won't eat his gazpacho soup.
It holds up really good man..
It’s a 90s classic
You hit the nail on the head with that. I was about to say the exact same thing. I forgot the entire movie, but I know I've seen it. How does a movie miss so many levels of recollection?
Don't do it!
do you have torrent for this movie
Get READY everybody: The '90's Renaissance is about to begin.
What made you say that? I'm still waiting for it 2 years later from your comment
@@jonbourgoin182 .....Waiting for the damned 80's to get the HELL out of the WAY!😡
Still to this day, I really like this movie! It’s one of sly’s more underrated movies.
I love Daylight ! It's the epitome of a hidden gem ! Fantastic movie ! I'm glad I've got a copy of the movie !
Yeah this is one Stallone’s quiet hit He was rocking in the 1990s.
Just wanted to say thank you for all the content over the years, I finally finished all the back catalogue (except the commentaries). It’s a crime you aren’t more popular via subscribers
I must admit this is the first of your retrospectives I’ve watched without having seen the movie that’s how good your work is much props to you Oliver
Thats very kind of you to say! Thanks for your feedback.
One fun fact about this movie is also how Stallone decided to wear a watch from a local, until then unsuccessfull watchmaker from Italy named Panerai. Long story short, Panerai is today one of the most popular premium watchbrands today. One of many examples is The Rock, he wears a Panerai in several of his movies.
When I see a retrospective has been uploaded, I upvote before I even start watching
This and lock up are two of stallones most underrated movies
I agree !
I saw this in theaters with my dad, and I remember thinking it was just “ok”. I probably enjoy it more now just because of the time period it reminds me of.
Thanks for the review Oliver Harper, you're the best. Easily one of my favourite Stallone films and one of Sly's best. It's just sad that we don't see movies like this anymore.
@Moogle Midgar Have you seen Stallone's more recent films like Rambo 5, the Escape Plan sequels, Expendables 3 and Bullet to the Head. Those films were awful, but this film is amazing and underrated. I don't hate you for that your a good guy.
I think Hollywood exhausted the disaster genre tbh, although these movies do make me mildly nostalgic.
@Disney is the Devil Sadly that's true.
@Moogle Midgar I'm fully aware of this SJW agenda and political correctness. That's why I just stick to movies from the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s and by extent the 2000s. I know that I'm not a fan of Trump, but I am sick and tired of "Trump sucks", Trump jokes and PC culture references. 2019 was the worst year of the 2010s.
This in my opinion was perhaps Stallone's most polished action movie. It had a handsome budget, some amazing visual effects and stunts, and as inconsistent as
Sly's acting can be at times, he was really excellent in this!
Both this movie and Cliffhanger with John Lithgow as the villian were both phenominal movies I watch both anytime they are on.
I found this in one of those bins in blockbuster ex rental vhs tapes when I was 13.
Bought it for £2 and watched the shit out of it with my brother for years.
Totally forgot it existed. Thank you!
Honestly one of my favorite disaster films and Stallone films. I like that Kit wasn't a strait up action hero and at several points in the film you feel for him as he is having to roll with the punches. I will say some of the supporting characters are a touch annoying at the beginning but by the end they form a good friendship with each other. This is a movie I love to watch and normally do a double feature with Dante's Peak
I just love these reviews
@NOT YOU aye
The good old days when Nic Cage was considered a character actor
And the very next year, we got Face/Off and Con Air.
@@Christian39521 A couple of years later The Wicker Man remake with some overacting of women battering and dodgy CGI bees Cage is known for over acting.
Character actor is one way of putting it.
I really loved Daylight, remember it well. I certainly remembered Amy Brenneman being in it. Didn't like her character in NYPD Blue at all, although she flashed a nice butt, but didn't like her. It was nice to see her in something completely different. This was it. By the way, I also love Driven, don't care what critics or reactions to it were, I loved it and have it on German blu ray, although it cost a damn fortune. Also have I See You on blu ray, which is excellent, but I have it under it's D-Tox title, a Scandinavian copy. Might get this too.
Oliver. Again. Thank you so much for this Retrospective. Everytime you make a post, you make my day/week/month. Big fan and patreon. Looking forward for the next one. We need to grow this channel! You deserve SO much more! Big love.
I just love these retrospectives! Thanks for the upload, my dude.
I fraking love this movie! Its one of the last great disaster movies that I feel like no one ever saw! Seriously - I busted out the DTS laserdisc of this just 2 weeks ago for 4 of my friends, a good amount of bev's and man just a great time we had! The movie has amazing action set pieces, bombastic sound design and deserves to be seen by more people! Great review as always sir - Cape Cod, MA!!
It’s a top tier movie that has incredible special effects and a wonderful atmosphere that I’ve been watching since a child in the 90s.
It’s interesting that you mentioned the other disaster films like Volcano and Armageddon, Daylight is better than all of them for me!
Thank you Oliver, your review/retrospectives are always excellent.
I really like this movie. I like Stallone, I used to watch TV series "Judging Amy", this movie also has very good soundtrack. Overall one of my favourite Stallone movies. Love the scene with the giant turbines. Great retrospective as usual.
These reviews are so much fun to watch. You deserve may more subscribers!
It seemed so long since you had made a video. I'm not complaining, I just love them so much.
The king of the old school movie review!
Best channel on youtube. So professional and entertaining!
Again you have delivered a review that was absolutely on point. Took the words right out of my head. I still don't know why the critics were so hard on this film...
The "cut the power!" sequence was really intense
I really love this movie, actually I use to watch this movie almost every Saturday night on VHS, it was a kind of a ritual I was 13 at the time I know is not a masterpiece but it's one of those movies that brings good memories
This movie is still one of the most heartfelt disaster movies ever created next to Armageddon and Dante’s peak.
How the hell do you only have 153k.subscribers? I love these reviews and share them quite often.
Really looking forward to your channel growing even more and faster.
Good movie, watched it recently. Could you do The Specialist?
Also, a lot of people are asking for The Great Escape including me, please do retrospective on it! :)
Man...the Specialist. Bad movie full of great performances!
Love The Specialist
I totally forgot about this movie. Thanks for reminding me Oliver. Keep up the good work man I love your videos.
Thanks for the review Oliver, looks great!
Oliver Harper, new retrospective/review I'm clicking it. Thank you.
i loved this era, sly was very verstatile back then. judgedredd, assassins, daylight. saw em all in cinema.
Same here!
I remember loving this movie as a kid. Thanks for the retrospective
how does this channel only have
153k subscribers??????????????
I remember this movie was scheduled to air on ITV in UK on the weekend after 9/11, but they changed the schedule.
One of my favorites!
This movie was one of my absolute favourites as a kid, been meaning to get it on Blu-ray for years
I can see why critics hated this movie so much, and some of the people were pretty annoying, but the film had a good frantic pace, ASTOUNDING special effects (the lack of CGI makes this like 100x better than if it were made today), good enough performances to sell the characters and story, and very good replay value. I definitely enjoy it.
There were a few movies in the 90s that did a really good job of using CG *and* old school practical effects in tandem. Independence Day was another.
Going to watch this for the 1st time tonight, and will watch your review later, looks good
Oliver Harper thank you for doing daylight
The best disaster films are those with likeable characters, which is why this doesn't match the best from the genre but it is hardly the worst either.
This is actually a possibility right now with the Holland Tunnel. There's a plan to reinforce it, and probably replace it. If they can't fully rehab it, they plan on fully imploding it. It's supposed to begin the reinforce project around 2026 and the replacement/expansion in 2032. The tunnels aren't designed to last 100 years without a overhaul.
This was my first disaster movie, and as such, it holds a special place in my heart.
3:43, up yours Siskel and Ebert, but may they rest in peace.
@No1 Jack I notice the same thing. People are nostalgic for idiots
i watched almost every review of this channel...i remember positive reviews from those two maybe 5-6 times in total....
@@icoborg So do I. That's why I collect Ebert's books.
You said it partner! 😀😀😀😀😀
@No1 Jack Because they watched Nostalgia Critic.
I remember watching this in theatre in my 20s. This was an entertaining action flick! I cannot believe this was Viggo!
Great as always Oliver.
I don't think I've ever seen this one. I may have seen bits of this movie when we had HBO and Encore back in this day, but never the whole movie. Interesting to know that this movie is loosely based on a real disaster that happened in the forties. Personally I can't fully judge on this movie because I haven't seen the whole movie, but from what I see here, it does seem like an entertaining disaster movie. I might looks for this one on Netflix sometime.
If a mate asks your recommendation for a 90s sleeper blockbuster saturday night action movie, this is the one.
Bit of a funny story. My mom and I went to see this when it came out in theaters and to the best of my memory this was the only movie I ever saw (when film was still the standard) where the movie got cut off. It was right during a pivotal moment of the movie when the survivors are about to make it out when the film reel suddenly burns or cuts out leaving a blank white screen. Everyone in the theater were given a free ticket to see the movie another time, which we did.
Btw, this is actually one of my favorite movies. It was one of the first disaster flicks I ever watched at the time (other than Twister) and despite its shortcomings I’ve always really liked Daylight. I also remember going to see all the other big disaster flicks brought up such as Titanic, Dante’s Peak, Volcano, Deep Impact, Armageddon and The Day After Tomorrow.
So many Dragonheart connections. I love that one of the punks in the car is the same actor who played the young Einon in DH!
He's a shit actor. Now works in a car factory.
Thank you, Oliver.
Hard Rain is a Flood Heist movie with lots and lots of platitude effects.
If you like daylight you're like hard rain.
Both awful
Still have the DVD! Love watching it over and over again! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Anyone else notice Stallone dressed like Chris Redfield from Resident Evil when wearing his tactical vest? They did both come out in 96….hmmm. As much as I love Daylight, especially Viggo’s character Nord, how cool would of it been if the same toxic chemicals that caused the explosion also turned the dead people into zombies?!?
I didn't know that "Daylight" until now. This movie may not be anything special but I would totally watch it with friends one day! 🤓
I saw this last when I was 10-11 years old in the 90s and I always loved this film. I notice very few people have even heard of it, even those who grew up in the 1990s.
I genuinely enjoyed the 90's re-float of Disaster Movies. Saw most of them on DVD at the time. Most were quite good and did what they said on the tin. I thought this one was a solid entry.
Saw this in the theatre. The explosion through the tunnel was LOUD!
I Enjoyed Daylight! I
Saw it in theaters in 96
Shame about the soundtrack not being able to have been reprinted or expanded... nevertheless thanks for doing the retrospective video on one of my favourites as a kid Oliver. Great work!
Thanks for your feedback!
Oliver Harper thank you for making amazing content Oliver, this and Dante’s Peak were some of my favourites as a kid, still are great to watch every now and then. Thank you again for the great content.
Great video
I Loved Stallones Underrated Films Eye See You, Get Carter Remake, Assassins, Nighthawk, and Daylight
Great review like always. That was Claire Bloom!? The Spy Who Came From The Cold, Limelight, also Doc Martin’s horrid mother from hell. To think Raffaella DeLaurentiis’s father Dino built a rival studio to Cinecitta in Rome during the 60s
Would love to see one on the Ghost and the Darkness which was out around the same time I believe
Mike Sutton Yes, another great Michael Douglas flick.
I like this video before I even watched it. I did that because I'm just happy someone is finally talking about this movie. No one ever does it just seems to have not existed Thanks.
9:36, that guy's been everywhere!
Daylight is a classic!
wow i almost forgot about this. used watch this one with my brother vhs all the time.
Dam, never notice that Aragon was in the tunnel too. Brings back memberberrys...
Hah! I had no Idea I had a 2 links to this film! I was an extra (SWAT team member) in Sudden Death while still in school in Pittsburgh. Then later when I was working in the model shop at ILM on Daylight helping prototype techniques for shooting the miniature scenes. But was soon pulled to work on Star Trek: FC and later Deep Impact :)
This is the second video in which an actor in their 30s died of a heart attack. I'm in my 30s. *googles "how to unblock your arteries"*
Just got my in search of darkness physical media and I'm super happy with it. I look forward to buying In Search of the Last Action Hero.
Love this movie. Was fantastic in the theater. I think I saw it at least twice there.
Oliver harper
I found a Hidden Gem of a action movie Called Hard Rain in the U.S. and in other countries is called the Flood. It stars Christian Slater Morgan Freeman and Minnie Driver it has very well pace stunts and action almost all of it is done in camera it is very straightforward no stupid side plot or romance.
I was shocked that I never heard of this and no one else has because it failed at the box office with a budget of 70 million and made at a time in the 90s where you see the budget on screen with very little digital effects almost everything is practical! I highly recommend it.
Oh, finally this review ^_^. I'm not agreed that it's forgettable tho or it's just me that I think it's one of the most unique "disaster" movies. You said by yourself there are few volcano movies, few asteroid movies and etc. while I can't think for another movie which plot happens underground, hmm. I even think of the movie very often without a reason, dunno :D
Brb gonna watch the film real quick
My guilty pleasure! It's great fun, this...
i may re-watch this. i remember really liking this. is it available on bluray ?(i hate digital copies)
I remember this was one of those times when two movies with almost the same premise come out at the same time. Kinda like Armageddon and Deep Impact, this movie came out with a movie called Hard Rain.
My cousin and I saw Daylight in the Theater, We wanted to see a movie and the only thing we knew about the film was that it stared Stallone. He thought it was a Die Hard Style film and I thought it was a Disaster film. It got no marketing.
I love this movie !!
Big Fan Olly! Any chance of a retrospective of the Ring 2002? One of my all time favourites.
speaking of Rocky....you should do a retrospective of Rocky Balboa
Thanks
His last big film ? Feels that way as someone who grew up in the 80's with his films
I think they should have expanded Viggo's role, making viewers wonder if his course of action was correct. It would have added a competitive aspect of the film. Often a great challenge can replace the need for a villain... adding either plot point might made the movie memorable. Instead, it's simply a good time-killer disaster flick.
Amazing in the Cinema!!!! One of the first of its kind....
