@@ukcroupier The plane might have killed more friendlies then enemies in its use. Its just not a good plane.

It does nothing good except crash on its own killing our troops. The only thing it does is take off vertically. Once its in the air it is beat out by everything else we have. Its first model had half the planes crash outside of combat. Just because we used something since 1985 doesnt mean it was actually useful to the marines. It means someone got a hell of a kick back.

So, the one question always asked is “how did they know where to find him in the hotel?” But, what a lot of people miss is, there’s a seemingly “throw away” line that Tom Arnold’s character says about setting up a suite under the name Harry Ranquist, just before he goes in and talks to Juno at the museum. So it was (most likely) still that same suite that they used since it would have already been there, and unused for anything other than a cover story. Since the terrorists had the name it was reserved under, they would have easily been able to find out where he was, especially if they were watching the room.

It's an actual stretch of in-use highway but they had to re-pave it with a different material that wouldn't melt under the heat of the jets. When they were done, there was no reason not to leave it that way, so because of this shoot, there's a permanent stretch of still-driveable highway in Florida that can withstand the heat of VTOL jet exhaust.

To add when it comes to fuel cost its not really much more to hover than it is to fly forward as the power / throttle is not changed much during the hover any more than it would in horizontal flight only the direction of the thrust nozzles, what really limits its ability to hover however is water as it uses water to cool itself while in hover. sure they can take of vertically when light but with a full load out and full of fuel they where not able to take of vertically meaning they needed a short run way take off and the ramp at the end of carriers helped, upon return they would always land vertically after having expended enough fuel to be light enough to land

@@EQINOX187 It absolutely is more fuel costly to hover. Below stall speeds, you aren't getting ANY lift from conventional flight surfaces and you need drastically increased thrust in comparison to counteract this (literally fighting gravity at that point). This can easily be seen in the disparity between the weight of its full loadout and the maximum weights for V/STOL loadouts being significantly lower. For VTOL operation itself the loadout weight needs to be below the total thrust of the engine so that it can actually gain altitude. Short takeoff/landings and conventional flight allow for weights 5 to 10,000lbs above max engine thrust and you don't need full power to maintain minimum or cruising speed. If you think this is bunk, please perform the following test. Go out to your car, disengage the hand brake/put it in neutral. See if you can put enough force into pushing it to get that sucker rolling. Manage it? Good job! Now pick your car up.
@allardjanvanmarle21102 жыл бұрын
26:47 Why is it shooting? Strangely enough, that is actually realistic. When it falls on the back end, the momentum is enough to cycle the action. And since this weapon has a fixed firing pin, that means a shot goes off, even if the trigger is not pulled and the action cycles again. These days, most submachineguns have an internal safety to prevent that from happening, but older models often had this flaw. And, yes, the AV-8B can take off vertically. However, it would have literally melted the road, the cars, and anybody in the vicinity.

The story of this movie is interesting. It is an adaptation of the French movie "La Totale!" From Claude Zidi, a legendary french comedy director. The plot is pretty much the same, sans the atomic bomb and harrier jet. Claude Zidi came to a US film festival in LA and made english subbed versions of his movie. Some time after that, Arnold's Brother in law watched the movie and loved it, he invited Arnold over to watch it and he also loved it. And he said that he would love to do an american version of it, but that some parts needed to be reworked to have more dynamism and action. He knew that at the time, Cameron's project of shooting a Spiderman movie was nowhere and got canned. So he called Cameron, talked about his idea, and Cameron accepted directing it. Since Cameron couldnt make a MARVEL movie he still put a Nick Fury look a like character in the movie (the agency boss with the eye patch). Cameron contacted Claude Zidi to buy the rigths to the movie adaptation, Ge sold it for a symbolic 1$ and instead negotiated a % on the movie incomes. It is unfortunate that this is the ONLY comedy ever directed by Cameron, cause man is it absolutly brilliant.

The planes are British Harrier jump jets. They are designed for vertical takeoff and then transitioning to normal jet plane flight. They were extremely effective in the Falklands war between Great Britain and Argentina. On a side note, Bill Paxton has a normal sized penis. It is not abnormally small.

This is my 2nd favorite James Cameron film only behind The Terminator. It's actually funnier than most pure comedies. It's one of Arnie's best performances. Jamie Lee Curtis actually won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy Film. And Tom Arnold was hilarious. The actor playing the villain hit all the right comic notes, too.

The problem is this movie came out in 1994, any other year and it's probably one of the highest grossing films of the year but it unfortunately never stood a chance of really catching fire because Forrest Gump came out 9 days before and movies like Shawshank Redemption, Dumb & Dumber, The Crow, The Mask, Ace Ventura, Legends of the Fall and Pulp Fiction also came out at the beginning/end of the year so it just got lost in this golden year of cinema.

It is impossible to detonate an atomic bomb with an explosion or any other kind of damage. In order to set off such a bomb a multitude of small charges within have to detonate in a predetermined order in predetermined direction with an accuracy of less than a microsecond. If this procedure does not happen exactly as planned, the plutonium core is not compacted into the size needed to set off the fission chain reaction but instead it is just blown to bits.

Arnold has some really fun comedies I think you two would enjoy. Twins, Junior, Kindegarten Cop... you can't go wrong
@SPVFilmsLtd2 жыл бұрын
36:02 - Ah'nuld's comedies certainly were unique. Practically none of them were "misses" but some were more batshit than others. Ones to try: THE LAST ACTION HERO - one of Hollywood's first forays into meta-humour in a blockbuster film. Very high concept. Directed by John McTiernan! KINDERGARTEN COP - probably the funniest Arnold comedy, but also easily one of the darkest film he's ever been. It goes in really violent places. TWINS - this one's dated a lot, but its a fascinating cast and concept. JUNIOR - this one is absolute batshit. Strangely watchable, but also just very weird and uncomfortable (and designed to be). JINGLE ALL THE WAY - really good kids movie (but not actually safe for kids to watch). How much you enjoy it as an adult really varies on how much you buy into the premise. COMMANDO - not intentionally a comedy, but boy its laugh-out-loud funny in hindsight. A must see.

Add RABBIT TEST to the list -- another funny/weird/WTF? movie he made with Danny DeVito. Oh, and THE VILLAIN! :D It's one of Arnie's first non-bodybuilding movies, from before he learned to act. He's totally wooden, but it *works* for his character (a painfully earnest and stoic Western sheriff) and is a crack-up. The actual star of the movie is Kirk Douglas, who's playing a cartoonish Western movie villain. In all seriousness, this is basically a live-action Roadrunner movie, and it's wonderful. :)

yes Harrier II was the only fighter at the time that can take of and land vertically, and it is an incredibly difficult manouver. Italy still uses them on their "aircraft carriers". The scene near the skyscraper stretches the capabilities of the fighter waay too much, that plane can hover but it is not an helicopter.

My favorite Ahnold film ever. The action scenes so over the top, I'm actually surprised they did have him reload, mimicking his old bubblegum action movies, but still having a neat story. Jamie Lee Curtis is the perfect choice for this role. Extremely sexy, but a great enough actress that she can play the frumpy housewife who can become sexy, without looking like a sexy woman pretending to be frumpy.

I highly consider True Lies to be Arnold’s last great film to date. I remember sneaking into the theater to see this alone as a 12 year old. As for the hotel/horse chase sequence, the hotel I believe is actually the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles that was also used for the final act of In The Line of Fire.

34:29 - the film is very faithful to the French movie "La Totale!". The embellishments from Cameron are basically the action sequences - the gunfights, horse chase, Harrier-jump jet sequence, the nuclear weapons plot are all his additions. The original film has all of the other elements though - a guy who works as a spy, but his family isn't aware, the wife being seduced by a used car salesman who lives in a trailer park, the spy making his wife do a fake mission, the seduction scene in the hotel room, it's all there. The nuclear weapon threat is actually a plot to launch a missile at a football stadium in Paris. James Cameron gets top marks though for translating French farce humour to ultra-violent American slapstick and also for getting to do his trademark 5th Act mega-action beat i.e. using a fighter aircraft to attack a building. But the plot twists, character arcs and premise is all lifted directly from the French film.
