' I don't think I know Gary" Oh you've seen Gary Oldman several times on the channel. He plays Sirius Black in the Harry Potter movies, Comissioner Jim Gordon in the Batman/Dark Knight movies, and Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg in the Fith Element. Of course he looks so different in every role he plays it's often very hard to differentiate one role from another. He's a literal master of disguise. Gary also played Dracula in "Bram Stoker's Dracula1' from 1992 directed by Francis Ford Coppla (the same guy who directed The Godfather), the movie is fairly decent, but if you're gonna get into Dracula i recommend starting with the old black and white movie from 1931 with Bela Lugosi.

It's always good to rewatch Gary Oldman in just about anything. I really do love his truly unhinged performances. I love when he is given an absolute madman and goes exactly as over-the-top as his role demands. I think that EEEEEEEEVVVVVVERRYYYYYOOOOONE agrees that he's an iconic master of dialing up to 11. That being said, I think my favourite thing he's done in recent years is Jim Gordon-first Lieutenant, later Commissioner Gordon-in the Christopher Nolan Batman films. He knows, always, what the role demands, and what will make the film a better movie. It's such a joy to see him restrained, muted, relying on the subtlety of his acting skill to give us a very rich everyman to the operatic gods flying around the screen in huge swooping movements. It's a masterclass in balancing a picture. He's so perfect opposite Heath Ledger precisely BECAUSE he doesn't go "full Joker" while Heath is doing the same thing. He's certainly capable. If you've seen The Professional, or Fifth Element, or Immortal Beloved, or even Sid & Nancy, he has a box of fireworks in his acting trunk and like children, we delight when he pulls it out. But what a fine craftsman we have in Oldman. It's a pleasure to see him in arthouse films, in tense dramas, in cartoony superhero films. I would dearly love to see him in a broad comedy, because I bet he'd be hilarious. And he's good here, too. However good or bad this film would have been without him, it's one step better because he's there. It always is.

I barely even hit play and I am HERE FOR THIS! I saw this in theaters when I was way too young and I don't even care. Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman *chef's kiss*. I'm so glad you watched this on the channel and not just with "hubbin".

Keep calm and carry on. Never seen you so excited 😍

Another good airplane action movie is Executive Decision starring Kurt Russell.

Fun(ish) fact. Steven Seagal's antics on that shoot got John Leguizamo to dislike him so much, John based the terrible actor character in The Menu on Seagal.

@@JeshuaSquirrel Seagal is an arrogant bullying POS, always has been 🤣

[@MartinBeerbom]

Incidentally, also scored by Jerry Goldsmith.

One of Seagal's better films.

[@Temeraire101]

@@blechtic No spoilers, we know the reason why this is one of Seagals better films!

The editing on this one is SU. PREME. From one rush to the next, no stopping for the exposition in between. I actually got involved instead of watching as the silent third party.

The guy hunting the President in the cargo hold looking like discount Ray Liotta!😂

[@endling_king960]

wait that isnt Ray liotta? I never looked it up to see if he was actually in the movie, I always thought that was him.

Gary Oldman...5th element, Harry potter, Leon the professional, the darkest hour, commissioner Gordon in batman...so many more!

Chaff is a countermeasure to prevent missiles from reaching their intended targets. It usually consists of strips of metal foil or metal filings and helps confuse the electronic guidance in missiles.

[@creech54]

Or flares to attract heat seeking missiles.

I love that you referenced Brushy Mountain, which I remembered from The Silence of the Lambs. I'd forgotten that that prison, and the fictional US Senator who references it in the film, are both from your home state! Also, the minute you said that, I googled it, hoping I would find out that the Russian prison scene was indeed filmed at Brushy, but actually, it's the Ohio State Penitentiary in Mansfield OH, the same prison where Shawshank was filmed.
