@@caolanmcflynn2412 I wouldn't say that he was a definite favorite character, but Cyrus stole the show

OK but still he was cooler than most

One engine useless, 0 fuel, and making an emergency landing in the Strip of Las Vegas.

In the 90's everything was made out of fireworks

[@jamestoner3900]

In the original script, Con Air was to crash in Washington DC and stop at The White House, that would have been memorable

[@jjgillmen]

Fun Fact: This film would mark the final on-screen appearance of the iconic Sands Hotel and Casino. The building would soon be imploded to make room for the Venetian.

[@DanielAppleton-lr9eq]

Hmm. The plane crashing into the hotel did the work for them. 😆😁

[@kikicallahan3662]

This movie has voice actors from The Croods, Anastasia, Monsters Inc and The Penguins of Madagascar in it.

The Sands, El Rancho, Desert Inn, Bourbon Street, Boardwalk, Stardust, Frontier and Riviera all got demolished.

[@Deat87]

Amazing how much property was destroyed in that plane crash!

[@zachstudios567]

Rip those casinos +Tropicana very soon

[@bizzyizzy9526]

I still don't see why they didn't just land at McCarran airport it's literally right next to the strip 🤔

[@ethanyushanadventures]

Because it's a movie

[@harrycahill2140]

they needed a contrived reason to crash the plane on the strip. This isn't a movie that requires thinking.

[@Tacoguy777]

You're right, it looks like the plane went North through the strip instead of the other way around. Just a movie I guess lol.

[@crookedman5896]

dropping to fast idiot... he'd have to make sure the plane was able to line up with this runway, and land it safely.. plus its an action hero movie with nic cage who saves the day against cyrus and machete lmao retard

[@sinisterintelligence3568]

Maybe they could have crashed the plane into the terminal or something but then again, that would steal from Executive Decision.

[@bryanjames8946]

He’s got the whole world 🌎 in his hands 😅

[@Ethanakawalter]

I love how they fly over the Stratosphere at the north end of the strip, take out the guitar at the Hard Rock off the southern end of the strip, circle back to the north end to see the Strat behind them. They could have made it to the airport

[@Mark.Taylor.]

Yea, don't use that as a map of vegas!

[@Makeitso2023]

That’s just silly 😂

[@mattnewman2069]

2:15 Cyrus could’ve done it right there

[@KarlSturmgewher]

I'd like this to have a sequel starring Gerard Butler, Tony Jaa, Arnold Vosloo, Richard Epcar, 50 Cent, Billie Piper, George Newburn, Sean Bean and Karen Gillan

[@drivendriven9725]

Very interesting choise and I like it 😀.

Well viva Las Vegas

This would have been a great video to use as reference for Aaron Rodgers landing at Vegas to play for the raiders.

[@timesnewlogan2032]

And to think, almost all of those buildings are gone now.

[@Timeward76]

Colm meaney is the highlight of this movie.

[@rosemarylopez8493]

I'm just now watching this because the Sands was imploded and they need to demolished it and used this movie to do so. So it was true. I had never watched this movie before. Going to have to watch it now. I understand now thst the Sands is now the Venetian, Desert Inn (next door) is now Wynn & Encore & The Last Frontier is now the Trump Towers. I am curious where all these older hotel were before. Currently, the Mirage is going to be The Hard Rock Cafe, Tropicana is now going to be a new baseball stadium and Ballys is now the Horseshoes. The old Hard Rock Cafe is Virgens. When in Vegas please go to Ellis Island for a delicious food & very economical prices. I love Vegas. I misd the Stardust where is the new World Resort

The wreaking crew just let Paramount and 20th Century Fox crash a plane into the lobby before demolition began in the Sands while filming Con Air.

They would have sent F-15C's from Nellis to shoot that plane down before it even entired Vegas Air Space.

[@AutobotAvengerXL]

If Cade Yeager was in DOTM, and he was fighting Dylan in the final battle, just like how Cyrus was threatening to kill Poe’s daughter; Casey, Dylan would’ve threatened to kill Cade’s daughter; Tessa, while she’s a little girl, and said “After I kill you, Yeager, the last thing you’re little daughter ever gets to feel, will be my hand on her throat.” And Cade said “You’re not gonna touch my daughter, but you are gonna feel this.”

Whoever lived or stayed in Las Vegas for a few days or more can tell the plane crash was absolutely full of shit as is this entire movie.
