Breakdown - Behind the Scenes (Kurt Russel)

A 96 - minute Thrill ride that Twists and turns before accelerating to a wonderfully overwrought Finale! (1997)
Director: Jonathan Mostow

[@B0l0joe]

Just watched this movie again. Russel is one of the most underrated actors of all time. His performance in this film was excellent.

[@imwaytogoodlookingtobeyour1188]

Look closely at the 10:25 mark.....you see the identical blue semi in the background....while one is on the crane hanging doing the shot

[@kellyanndean9374]

Kurt russell!is a awesome actor!great movie!

[@jackkrauss]

He's a natural.

[@lesclaypoolonbass9431]

I love these tight thrillers with just a few characters and a straightforward plot. This one's really good

[@MrParkerman6]

The plot wasn't straightforward, dumbass. Mystery stories aren't straight forward, fucking idiot!!!!

[@lesclaypoolonbass9431]

@@MrParkerman6 dang dude. I mean he solved the mystery in the first 30 minutes

Lawrence L. - Since you like "Small Town psychological movies" do you have a few that you recommend?

[@stefantomasi4036]

My favourite JT Walsh and Kurt Russell collaboration. It’s one of the best suspense/thrillers I’ve ever seen

[@mch2007uk]

These are the best type of behind the scenes. Just watching the film making process. No interviews, no voice-over, and no music.

[@byronelenica8329]

Absolutely outstanding film.. in my all time top 5.

[@amelieholbrook3001]

I totally agree, one of the most suspenseful and best-acted and directed films ever made. I've seen it many times, and each time, I'm on the edge of my seat. The pacing is extraordinarily good.

[@bradleycharlesworth8745]

It's number 1 for me. My top favourites are this one, Panic Room with Jodie Foster and Speed with Keanu Reeves and Dennis Hopper

[@Locadel2003]

There are few movies of Kurt Russell career that I rewatch every 1-2 years, Escape from La, Used Cars, Tango & Cash, Soldier, The thing, Tombstone and BREAKDOWN. Excellent underrated 90s thriller that has a great pace

[@Frank-pc2rs]

A fellow Tango and Cash fan. Good man.

[@bms77]

Never seen Tango n Cash but I need to

[@jebvoorhees125]

This is one of my favorites.. I love the American south-west.

[@MrParkerman6]

This was shot in California and Arizona! Neither are south, fucking dumbass!!!!!

[@skinniedree]

MrParkerman6 - haha, typical KZbin troll. Both ignorant and full of hate behind a keyboard. California and Arizona IS the South West for anybody that thinks this idiot has some sort of knowledge.

[@Rob-sk1im]

When done right, desert setting films have mass appeal. Breakdown is a masterpiece of this genre. The Hitcher with Rutger Hauer is another prime example.

[@davsny5]

Two of my favorites

[@B0l0joe]

Fuck yeh. I was just thinking about the Hitcher after i finished watching Breakdown.

[@Tourist-Q.]

Kurt Russell took a 80s haircut straight into the 90s.

[@nihilist4184]

Ten out of ten it walsh scary as f. Kurt Russel brilliant great direction.

[@petergresh516]

I seriously love kurt russell all of his movies I enjoyed throughly

[@angelsdemons6954]

Yes

[@bryanrizzo9377]

I love this exciting thrill of a movie! I even like how Billy played by Jack Noseworthy uses a fake southern accent and comes off as a nice helpful guy in finding Kurt Russells wife when he's first seen but then it turns out he's actually one of the guys in on the whole missing wife scheme and he's part of the villian crew.

[@markeugenelee2083]

One of my favorite films Greetings from Pakistan

[@jasonsanabria8657]

Such a great movie! Kurt Russell is awesome!

[@davidharrell8890]

I love the desert scenes in this movie. Reminds me of some of the places I drove.

[@Alek_FilmsTravel]

Great footage!! One of my favorite movies, and always interesting to see the "Behind-the-scenes" clips. Thank you for the great video.

[@U2BER2012]

Besides being a really convincing actor, Kurt just seems like a really cool guy. He's been acting forever.

[@zacherydewey3866]

My grandma said Kurt Russell is kind of cute

[@painmagnet1]

As a straight comparison to Duel, Breakdown wins. But not as many of us were on the same page at a given time in history. I hope Breakdown receives its credit as an American classic someday.

[@brandonstewart8083]

Nice comparison not to many people know about duel I saw it when I was probably about 6 or 7 in the 90s on tv and was on the edge of my seat the whole time

[@skinniedree]

Somebody else mentioned The Vanishing (1993) which is similar to this thriller.

[@amelieholbrook3001]

I agree, well said!

[@zadkielelijaholmeda9060]

Oh YES, BREAKDOWN is muuuuch BETTER 10/10 than Duel for me. It's one of my FAVORITE movies in my TOP 5️⃣.

[@nihilist4184]

With duel you need see the evil man behind the wheel. But break down shows evil and it's even more scary than the unknown mystery evil in duel. The movie is so realistic and believable. Kurt russels frustration level equals Harrison fords in polanskis frantic.

[@2msvalkyrie529]

When Kurt finally kicks that guy in the face near the end I and just about everybody else in the theatre jumped up and punched the air ....YES...! ! ! I never hated a bad guy that much in any movie !

[@olentangy74]

JT Walsh was the bad guy. Breakdown was his last film before he passed away.

[@DRAKLOR_44]

It wasn't his last film he made one or two more but died a year later was quite young too

[@aryakeepsafe4142]

Brilliant cast Excellent movie . It's suspense from beginning until end . Great !!

[@porkchop359]

Great movie I remember seeing it in theatre when it came out

[@geamnegru]

i remember when i have see this movie in 1997 or 1998 was something extraordinary!!and in my part of the world,east europe,this model car ZJ was an icon for reach people

[@michellerene951]

I'm so glad this showed up on my feed! Breakdown is one of my favorite suspense/action films. I must have watched it about a dozen times. RIP JT Walsh.😢 Thank you for posting.

[@Darkman9478]

I go way back with this movie. I had such a fascination for it when I was 7 or 8. Seen it a few times in that time. I rediscovered it by the time I was 14. I rented it at the video rental a few times. My mother (God rest her soul) got me the movie on DVD from eBay. Now, I have it on the US release of it on Blu-ray. My nephew watched it with me, and he enjoyed it as much as I did and do. I got him his copy of it on Blu-ray. He considers it his most favorite Kurt Russell movie ever just the same as I do.

[@bryanrizzo9377]

I love mystery thrillers like this! Fun fact is the M.C. Gainey character is the one who offscreen screwed with the ignition wires under the car at the scene in the beginning when Kurt Russell stops at the gas station for oil which then leads to the breakdown.

[@myyoutubechannel3161]

This movie is legendary classic 🙌

[@stefantomasi4036]

Like Firewall with Harrison Ford and Paul Bettany

[@small_ed]

This should have been called, "Escape From Arizona".

Lol!

[@sergiomarinizer9556]

Good bless the 1990s. I miss my childhood

heart pounding

[@bms77]

God this was a great movie!! So underrated

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

I love how in these movies they always have a destination yet I know that road they’re on, and they’re heading for the middle of nowhere

[@user-fk2ws3zq2u]

I like this movie very much. Kurt Russell is a great actor.

[@bryanbeach2572]

The great thing about Breakdown is that it can plausibly happen in real life, perhaps with the exception of the crazy chase at the end. That's what makes it exciting and terrifying.

[@leo29hornsfan]

Man what a great movie this was. I remember seeing it my jr year in high school with some friends in my bedroom eating some jack in the box and was just glued to the tv the whole time. RIP JT Walsh my favorite actor of all time. Outstanding performances from Kurt Russell and MC Gainey.

[@alienlatino2945]

Wow amazing! Thanks for the upload Vince! I loved this movie so much, saw it in the cinema, I always loved the Belle's Diner scenes.

Seeing this makes it easier to understand why it costs to much to make a movie, and those big complex cameras must cost a lot.

if Walsh knew that he is going to die in about a year I wonder if would had done something different other than acting!

Probably a change of diet and some exercise

indeed and at the of 56 i think

[@ojsilva1975]

He was great in this film but he looked somewhat exhausted throughout the film from start to finish. R.I.P. J.T. Walsh.

[@foxmolder2718]

miglior film anni 90

[@CrimsonHelldrake]

*AWWWW DAMMIT! They didn't include the scene where they drop the truck on Walsh's face!* he is dead now in REAL LIFE because of that scene & they didn't even do him the decency of being remembered in his last moments...

[@EmpiricalPragmatist]

Woah, really? It caused his death all these years later? How??

[@leo29hornsfan]

That’s not even true. Walsh died of a heart attack tragically a few years after the filming of this movie.
