I love how when the wave is about 2 miles out the ship has turned about 15 degrees and visibly continues the turn looking like the nose will probably be between 60 or 70 degrees on impact. Then the wave is shown about a mile out and we’re back to where we started twice as far away. And finally as the wave hits the ship she’s turning into the wave at the exact same angle she started the turn when they first spotted the wave.
I thought either the waitress took his card in the black payment folder or he had set what may have been his card on the table when he said "my treat."
Assuming it's a tsunami, caused by an under-water earthquake miles away, my guess is that this makes sense. At the location of the ship, they don't feel the initial earthquake so the water is calm, but then hear comes the resulting tsunami . . .

The worst part. He survives the entire ordeal, gets rescued, then jumps overboard after he was safe. That’s in the sequel to this one. But he survives and washes up on an island only to live happily ever after with a soccer ball.
I like to think it was a combination of three things: 1) seeing actual death come for him made him realize he didn’t want to die, 2) even if he DID still want to die, he didn’t want it to be from the giant wave, and 3) his friends (even though we never see them again after that one scene) were still in there and he had to warn them.
I enjoy this story and don’t mind it being retold every couple of decades so new generations can see it (as it’s more likely a younger person will see this than a 70s movie). And maybe it will inspire folks to seek out the original, which is a classic.
mad magazine did a parody of the original film. by the time the survivors reached the propellor room the ship had righted itself and they found themselves at the bottom of the ship again. instead of remaking this movie they should've filmed the mad magazine parody instead. where's alfred e. neuman when you need him?!

The rogue wave would have shown up 50 miles away on the ship's radar. It wouldve been apparent to the Officer of the watch what it was, and had the bow to it when it arrived. Also, at sea such a wave would not be cresting like that. But very, very high rogue waves have indeed occurred.
Rogue waves at sea can crest like that. They are formed from multiple swell waves traveling in opposite directions that combine into an even larger seal wave which then becomes a wind driven wave that will continue to move until it's weight overcome forward wind momentum and it crashes into another swell wave. This scene would have occurred in the middle of that process, before the wave lost wind momentum.
Deliberately set. The reason? Note the mixed Euro-afro woman sitting at the bar. Meghan awaiting Harry. British M-1 the culprit, to thwart Meghan meeting Harry.
@@HerrinSchadenfreude Crest yes . but like that? the films crest looked like the crest just before the entire wave collapses onto a beach. Plus it was sustained and held up by magic?

Whereas Harrison from the original movie called for "hard to port" which put the ship midships against the wave, this captain did the right thing by calling the ship to starboard, and steering into the wave.

I was a pretty big fan of the original, but then that might have been due to Pamela Sue Martins' red hotpants. Actually, the original had a very impressive cast, and i was grateful for the introduction to actors from my parents' generation. I had forgotten they did a remake. This 6-minute clip was the most I ever saw of it.
The book is *so* much better, as is frequently the case. The movie got too schmalzified ("Disneyfied"), and Disney changed a few small but critical plot points that they shouldn't have. But the movie is still enjoyable, for all that. (I remember seeing the last half when I was a kid; I came in just before Thomasina went through the cat afterlife. Totally confused me at the time, because I didn't have the context, and for the longest time I half-believed I'd dreamed that movie instead of watched it. It wasn't until I was in college that I ran across the book, purely by chance, and realized that this must've been the movie I'd seen only part of.)
It's rather incredible that the capsizing special effects produced 34 years earlier in the original Poseidon Adventure were just as good, if not better.
Bro no. One thing critics have ALWAYS agreed on when it comes to comparisons between the two is that this one objectively has a FARR better capsizing scene, it's where most of the budget went
Years ago, I saw Maureen McGovern perform live at the Plush Room in SF. She sang the Poseidon Adventure theme song, and ironically, the Plush Room had an art nouveau glass ceiling.
The joke I'm about to tell is so funny that if I told it on "The Poseidon" just as the wave was about to hit everyone would burst out laughing and die a very happy death. Okay, here we go: _It's time to wave goodbye_
@@lastguyminn2324 A hundred-Plus years of American films, and Hollywood seems determent to remake and sequel and pre-quel every one of them. I get so sick of it.
@willemvandeursen3105 The problem is the studios have been completely taken over by the bean-counters and analysts, people who don't have a creative bone in their bodies and only recognize success as ROI. Even the moguls of early days like Mayer, Selznick, Zanuck, Goldwyn, and the Warners recognized that artists needed to be given some latitude to produce greatness. Today's studio heads might as well be AI, in that they are only interested in regurgitating what has already been successful.
No. Rogue waves can be big but they are related to the size of the waves that are already around you. Flat calm waters could never produce a rogue wave like this. Even tsunami waves only increase in height near land so it could not even be that. For a wave to be this big in flat water of an ocean , you would need a asteroid strike.
In 1990 something a rogue wave measuring 85 feet hit a north sea oil rig. So I'm not sure if that is a largest one or if they get even larger but I would say it's possible.
Okay, maybe someone can help me out here, if the ship is parallel to the wave when it hits, it was therefore not parallel prior to them turning the ship, that means the crew actually turned the ship so it would be in the position that is dead worse to be hit in when face with a large wave. If the crew did not touch the controls they would have been in a better position to be hit by the way then the one they ended up in. Do I have that right?
No, it was already parallel to the wave when first spotted. The crew tried to turn the ship, but it wasn’t fast enough so when the wave hit, the ship was still parallel to it
Because it's a movie, not a National Geographic documentary. There's also no sound or fire in space but wouldn't a scientifically accurate Star Wars be boring?
That's not entirely true. Rogue waves are swell waves that get bigger when they meet other swell waves that move opposite their path and the two collectively become a much bigger wind driven wave. Such a wave doesn't require shallowing sea floors to grow in height like tsunamis do nor does slowing down from sea depth cause size increase or breaking. Loss of wind momentum causes that, at which point the wave is too heavy to continue to move forward and breaks. This ship got hit during what would have to have been a wind driven period while the wave still had that momentum. As for normal tsunamis, they would have passed under the ship unnoticed as they're just shockwave energy in deep water. They don't grow until sea floor rises. A mega tsunami on the other hand forms instantly on the basis of what caused it (landslide, asteroid, etc.) and moves across oceans that way only to get even bigger when shallows are reached.
So their own display read ~3 degreees/second at 3:01, yet by the time the wave hit ~one minute and 20 seconds later, the ship had only managed to turn by like 10 or 15 degrees? In that time not only could they have made a 90 degree turn, but nearly made that turn three times over. Poor people. It must be hard to operate a ship when the basic laws of physical reality don't apply.
it was a cruise ship----not a destroyer......lot of tonnage to haul around. But it made it around almost with the wave on the bow. But the captain's order was correct to bow-on the ship (or could have gone stern-on). STBD full back, port full fwd, and bow thrusters full stbd.
@@davidjones5252 the type of ship is irrelevant. Their own display read sufficient turn rate to take the wave bow-on, not just sufficient but several times more than sufficient. It was a case of simple lazy writing - throw something cool looking on a screen, don't think about its implications or continuity, give the ship an age to turn because you want to show all sorts of dramatic leadup to the wave hitting but then after showing a minute and a half over which the ship could have been turning (at a known rate - more than they needed), alter the ship's heading by almost nothing as if only a few seconds had passed. They could have made the scene work. Slow down the turn rate to something a cruise ship could actually do instead of an instantaneous 3 degrees/second, shorten the time to turn just a bit, actually think out the continuity of their scene instead of just throwing up whatever seems dramatic and assuming the audience is too stupid to notice the lack of care put into it, but they did none of this.

Can’t believe Richard Dreyfus was in this bomb. He must’ve needed a paycheck!
You should see what he's been starring in recently. Shame.😞
Famous actors do a lot of terrible movies for the paycheck. Just ask Michael Caine, LOL.
@@n9nf8ces Or Morgan Freeman, and Samuel L. Jackson for that matter. Just take a look at their filmography. They've both been a lot of straight to video stinkers. You would think such legendary actors like those 2 wouldn't need to star in crappy films for a paycheck; but there they are.🤷
Don't scoff at people taking a paycheck of ten million or more. They eat just like you and don't make money by being hipster thespians.

The Poseidon Movie of 1972 Was Better Then The 2005& 2006
No it was not
I remember seeing the original 1970s version when I was a kid and it scared the hell out of me.
This is why I stay on land....
This came out when I was 11 and I was so scared if I ever went out to sea something like this would happen.
This is why you should not watch movies 😂
@@Ghenghis_1 lol g dang.
Hello! It is just a stupid American movie...
Oui mais pas trop près des côtes sinon la vague va quand même t'emporter...😁
Wow! The massive wave sounds like a very hungry Dinosaur!
Me: I can’t wait to go on my cruise tomorrow, I’ll just watch one movie before bed…
The movie before bed:
😂 how was the cruise
Seeing the original when it came out at the theaters was epic. Towering Inferno, Earthquake, the Airport ones!
I’m sick of guys saying they have swimmer’s build and show up looking like Shelley Winters from The Poseidon Adventure 😂
I am not sure who that is, but thumbs up anyway because it sounded like it was funny.

It's "Hikaru".... with an "H".
I was a pretty big fan of the original, but then that might have been due to Pamela Sue Martins' red hotpants. Actually, the original had a very impressive cast, and i was grateful for the introduction to actors from my parents' generation. I had forgotten they did a remake. This 6-minute clip was the most I ever saw of it.
It was a decent remake, although I don’t know why they did one. I guess to introduce some fresh Hollywood blood the some fresh movie watchers. Maybe.
Imagine an air bubble getting caught in those hot pants.
Wow. Pamela Sue Martin! I forgot I was in love with her at one time
This wave is like every wave I encounter at the beach. Regardless of where I’m standing, it always breaks on my head 😂
Dancing on the ceiling by Mr Richie was the last track in the nightclub 😮.
Really
It wouldn't really surprise me, if they were to re-boot this classic once again with a completely new cast.
I always loved the original but when Poseiden came out really enjoyed that version as well,they both are outstanding in their own way.🤘🤘
This movie is so much better than the original. With Fergie and Kurt and supporting cast as well as the special effects.

Paul Gallico the author of the novel also wrote Thomasina, the Cat Who Thought She Was God the book upon which the Disney movie was based.
The book is *so* much better, as is frequently the case. The movie got too schmalzified ("Disneyfied"), and Disney changed a few small but critical plot points that they shouldn't have. But the movie is still enjoyable, for all that.
(I remember seeing the last half when I was a kid; I came in just before Thomasina went through the cat afterlife. Totally confused me at the time, because I didn't have the context, and for the longest time I half-believed I'd dreamed that movie instead of watched it. It wasn't until I was in college that I ran across the book, purely by chance, and realized that this must've been the movie I'd seen only part of.)
When will Hollywood accept the fact that no remake, no matter the overdose of special effects, will ever match an original movie.

movie like this need made more!! i love this movie from 2006
Poseidon was pissed that this ship was legit his name so he told then there can be only one.

Hooper, south, south east now, full throttle!!
0:00 what song is this i just heard it in a bbc advert and it sounds catchy as hell
It's rather incredible that the capsizing special effects produced 34 years earlier in the original Poseidon Adventure were just as good, if not better.
Bro no. One thing critics have ALWAYS agreed on when it comes to comparisons between the two is that this one objectively has a FARR better capsizing scene, it's where most of the budget went
No, it looks like shit for today's standards.
Lol I watched the old one and it is no where near as good a capsizing scene as
There's got to be a morning after

I see no one else got the reference! You're aging yourself.
Years ago, I saw Maureen McGovern perform live at the Plush Room in SF. She sang the Poseidon Adventure theme song, and ironically, the Plush Room had an art nouveau glass ceiling.
I love & own both the original version & remake on DVD, but the visuals & terror are better in the remake, but that's my opinion. 💯
So glad I missed the departure time and got mocked on the dock...
There has to be a morning after.😢
The joke I'm about to tell is so funny that if I told it on "The Poseidon" just as the wave was about to hit everyone would burst out laughing and die a very happy death. Okay, here we go: _It's time to wave goodbye_
I'm rethinking that next cruise.........🤔🤪😂
Now go and watch the first 10 minutes of Ghost Ship... 👻
Well, that’s ONE WAY to start off the new year!
The original was better. Better visuals, better story, better characters, better everything.
So true.
because of Gene Hackman!
Nope! The newer one is better! BOOMER!
All the original disaster movies were better. The Towering Inferno, Airport, Avalanche..
Are you crazy ?
A wave that high would have to be created by either an asteroid strike or a massive landslide😂
Where's Gene Hackman when you need him?
And Ernest Borgnine
@@klemmetv6875Sorry, they got old. Don't love 'em any less today.
We need you back 1972 original cast.... Stella Stevens, Shelly Winters, Roddy McDowell, Carol Lynley, Red buttons, Pamela Sue Martin and Eric Shea.
Forgot Leslie Nielsen and Jack Albertson.
The original was great. Saw it when I was a kid. Even the special effects were good for the time.
3:17 - Dude must be thinking, "Ohhh, show me the way to go home...."
You’re talking porkers, Mr. Hooper?
I thought i recognized him 😁👏
Hahaha!!
I love the original and this one. Amazing 2 movies
Why did they remake this?? The original is a classic and the best one!!!
With Shelly Winters farting! The women that sank a thousand ships...
Why do they remake anything? They always seem to think their's won't be one of the 99 out of 100 remakes that stink.
They remade it because Hollywood hasn't had an original thought in decades.
@@lastguyminn2324
A hundred-Plus years of American films, and Hollywood seems determent to remake and sequel and pre-quel every one of them. I get so sick of it.
@willemvandeursen3105 The problem is the studios have been completely taken over by the bean-counters and analysts, people who don't have a creative bone in their bodies and only recognize success as ROI. Even the moguls of early days like Mayer, Selznick, Zanuck, Goldwyn, and the Warners recognized that artists needed to be given some latitude to produce greatness. Today's studio heads might as well be AI, in that they are only interested in regurgitating what has already been successful.
Richard Dreyfus is brave to be back on a boat after that whole incident with Jaws. 😂
Watching this clip leaves me a question. I know rogue waves exist but could a wave THAT big even THEORETICALLY exist?
Probably one in a hundred years
No. Rogue waves can be big but they are related to the size of the waves that are already around you. Flat calm waters could never produce a rogue wave like this. Even tsunami waves only increase in height near land so it could not even be that. For a wave to be this big in flat water of an ocean , you would need a asteroid strike.
In 1990 something a rogue wave measuring 85 feet hit a north sea oil rig. So I'm not sure if that is a largest one or if they get even larger but I would say it's possible.
Even if one existed with the
strength capable of rolling a cruise ship, it would never remain upside down.
@@zomgelokthe North Sea is only 300 metres deep, so is far more susceptible to rogue waves. This movie is not the North Sea.
Imagine celebrating new year, only to be killed by a giant wave.
Okay, maybe someone can help me out here, if the ship is parallel to the wave when it hits, it was therefore not parallel prior to them turning the ship, that means the crew actually turned the ship so it would be in the position that is dead worse to be hit in when face with a large wave. If the crew did not touch the controls they would have been in a better position to be hit by the way then the one they ended up in. Do I have that right?
I guess they were thinking there was a chance to outrace the wave and reach the tip or end of it to mitigate the damage. I am guessing though .
No, it was already parallel to the wave when first spotted. The crew tried to turn the ship, but it wasn’t fast enough so when the wave hit, the ship was still parallel to it
There's nothing like the original.
I always laugh at this movie and any movie with rogue waves & tsunamis. Neither crest and/or break. But they always do in movies
Because it's a movie, not a National Geographic documentary. There's also no sound or fire in space but wouldn't a scientifically accurate Star Wars be boring?
That's not entirely true. Rogue waves are swell waves that get bigger when they meet other swell waves that move opposite their path and the two collectively become a much bigger wind driven wave. Such a wave doesn't require shallowing sea floors to grow in height like tsunamis do nor does slowing down from sea depth cause size increase or breaking. Loss of wind momentum causes that, at which point the wave is too heavy to continue to move forward and breaks. This ship got hit during what would have to have been a wind driven period while the wave still had that momentum. As for normal tsunamis, they would have passed under the ship unnoticed as they're just shockwave energy in deep water. They don't grow until sea floor rises. A mega tsunami on the other hand forms instantly on the basis of what caused it (landslide, asteroid, etc.) and moves across oceans that way only to get even bigger when shallows are reached.
2:42 is 2:53 Great Moment. 😮
Excellent movie. One of my favorites.
Really? You should try Citizen Kane. Not quite as good but......

It sucks! The original is 1972 times better.

3:23 Chief Officer Reynolds: TURN come on, Come On, COME ON
And in more than a 100 years we still can't steer the dam ships lol! [Similar scene in titanic]
Can’t beat the original 😉
So their own display read ~3 degreees/second at 3:01, yet by the time the wave hit ~one minute and 20 seconds later, the ship had only managed to turn by like 10 or 15 degrees? In that time not only could they have made a 90 degree turn, but nearly made that turn three times over.
Poor people. It must be hard to operate a ship when the basic laws of physical reality don't apply.
it was a cruise ship----not a destroyer......lot of tonnage to haul around. But it made it around almost with the wave on the bow. But the captain's order was correct to bow-on the ship (or could have gone stern-on). STBD full back, port full fwd, and bow thrusters full stbd.
@@davidjones5252 the type of ship is irrelevant. Their own display read sufficient turn rate to take the wave bow-on, not just sufficient but several times more than sufficient.
It was a case of simple lazy writing - throw something cool looking on a screen, don't think about its implications or continuity, give the ship an age to turn because you want to show all sorts of dramatic leadup to the wave hitting but then after showing a minute and a half over which the ship could have been turning (at a known rate - more than they needed), alter the ship's heading by almost nothing as if only a few seconds had passed.
They could have made the scene work. Slow down the turn rate to something a cruise ship could actually do instead of an instantaneous 3 degrees/second, shorten the time to turn just a bit, actually think out the continuity of their scene instead of just throwing up whatever seems dramatic and assuming the audience is too stupid to notice the lack of care put into it, but they did none of this.
Everytime:
"Turn....c'mon, TURN!!!"
