Sam Neil shared a story about Sean Connery in this movie. He explained that Connery's famous Scottish accent was very recognizable even though he was supposed to be Russian. The director got him vocal coaches, lots of practice at the accent and multiple takes, but none of it was working. Finally Sean Connery got fed up with it and exclaimed angrily to the director "You don't understand! I'm Sean Fucking Connery! You'll hire an entire Scottish crew so I'll blend in!"

Rainbow 6 refers to the team name from the book the games were originally based off. They were called "Rainbow" because they came from all over the world. The "6" is the leader, John Clark. Remember in Band of Brothers when Winters tells Luz to use the radio in one scene, you hear Luz say Easy 6 calling Easy CP. He was saying Easy Leader calling command.

Cool factoid the Senator is played by Richard Jordan. He's been in two other scifi movies in the past. He was in Logan's Run as Francis 6 and Duncan Idaho in the original dune movie from 1984. After this movie came out Tom Clancy got a visit from the CIA about how he got the Soviet sub controls right. Oh the Enterprise carrier has been retired but there are plans to make the next Ford Class carrier to be called Enterprise. Its designation will be CVN 80. In my honest opinion there should always be a ship in the US Navy called Enterprise.

Connery (I love him!) has terrible Russian. I don't remember Dasha's reaction too well, but I doubt she said that Connery's Russian was any good. I have no idea what he's supposed to be saying. They even had to dumb down the dialogue for him, so that instead of "vy gavarite po-russki" (which in the subtitles is translated as "you speak Russian") he says what sounds like "nu, po-russki", which doesn't make much sense, it's just, "well, in Russian." Baldwin's Russian is somewhat OK for an American movie from 1990. Only the sailor on the ladder is good, I suspect he's a native speaker. On a separate note, an actor who had AMAZING Russian was Robin Williams in Moscow on Hudson.

Tom Clancy is a serious authority on military, politics and espionage. The Sum of All Fears has a great audio commentary by him and the director and Tom points out EVERYTHING the director got wrong and why. And he debunks surveillance capabilities of the nature "If he farts we'll know when and for how long". Intel is not that detailed nor does it need to be. What the enemy is up to is far more obvious and not the big secret movies have taught us and much of it can be discovered without hidden microphones or cameras.

I agree wholeheartedly! I was in college when I saw Das Boot in its initial release. I don't think words can convey how tense, riveting, and engrossing that movie is. The Wikipedia article on Das Boot in the Critical Response section states: "Today, the film is seen as one of the greatest German films. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film received an approval rating of 98% based on 55 reviews, with an average rating of 9.10/10. The critical consensus states "Taut, breathtakingly thrilling, and devastatingly intelligent, Das Boot is one of the greatest war films ever made." The film also has a score of 86 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 15 critics indicating "universal acclaim". For its unsurpassed authenticity in tension and realism, it is regarded internationally as pre-eminent among all submarine films."

I had the honor of meeting him one day in 94. Rest in Peace. I had just finished reading "Without Remorse". We spoke mainly about that book because I grew up not far from many of the places he wrote about. I was amazed at the level of details of my part of town so vividly. His memories were that precise. Sadly, the movie version was nearly unfamiliar to most everything in the novel. Red October is a really good film though. Although so many pieces had to be cut or changed from Clancy's work

It involves Norsemen and is a movie I am almost positive you will all love. And something to keep in mind about the Ramius character's Scottish accented Russian...the character was born and raised Lithuanian, and for all we know, Lithuanians could sound Scottish when they speak Russian. Probably not...but it is certainly a fine explanation for why Connery's standard Scottish lilt is not an issue at all.

The movie takes place in the early 1980's. I was serving aboard a Knox class frigate at the time as a Quartermaster. Unlike in other branches a Quartermaster in the Navy is someone who specializes in navigation. We were an anti submarine warfare platform. We hunted submarines. This was set in the North Atlantic which is unofficially considered America's ocean. One thing that makes me laugh is that the Soviet surface fleet gets underway immediately. It would take us a minimum of two days to get steam pressure up high enough to get underway. Also, at this time, the side arm of the U.S. Navy is the Colt 45, so you guys are absolutely correct it is the M1911 Colt 45. Also also the submarines and the carriers hey do much attention but it's the frigates and destroyers that protect the carriers from the submarines.

10:52 The microphones that submarines use to listen for sounds in the ocean are 1) Not pointing backwards, because 2) Even if they were, all they'll hear is their own propellor. There's a way around this: You can drag along microphones on a tow cable a few hundred feet behind you, but you get penalties in maneuvering and speed when you string out that towed array.

The Hunt for Red October is based in part on the true story of Chester M. "Whitey" Mack (1931-2008), who was the first commander of the Sturgeon-class attack submarine USS Lapon in the late 1960s. (His nickname isn't a racial thing, but a reference to his hair color.) When the Russians launched their new Yankee-Class nuclear missile submarines in 1969, the US Navy had no idea of their capabilities. Along with other subs, Whitey Mack and Lapon headed for the Barents Sea with orders to learn what they could about the Yankee-Class boats. The Lapon found a Yankee on the sonar, lost track of it, estimated where it would be, found it again, and then followed it for 47 days straight. They learned everything the US Navy wanted to know about the boat and its practices, even recognizing when different officers were running the sub. A New York Times story at the time leaked the juicy news that the US Navy was actively shadowing a Soviet sub, and for 24 hours afterwards the Soviet skipper went nuts, doing every kind of possible maneuver to make sure nobody was following him, but he never detected the Lapon. Although the term "Crazy Ivan" didn't appear until 1970, it refers to a sub making abrupt turns in order to see whether anything is in its baffles, the blind zone hidden behind the sub's own engine and propeller noise. When the Lapon finally broke off to return home, the Navy sent a message to all subs in the Atlantic: "Get out of the way. Whitey's coming through." On returning home to Norfolk, the Lapon was awarded the Presidential Unit Commendation for extraordinary heroism, and Mack received the Distinguished Service Medal, the highest peace-time award the Navy had. Basil Poledouris's score in this film is epic and beautiful, and gets the heart racing at all the right moments. Since you also watch classic Star Trek, you might find it interesting that Basil played a red-shirt in several episodes. I think he was one of the security team killed by the cloud creature in the episode "Obsession" from December 1967.

Fun Facts: Unlike on American boomers, which require two missile keys to launch (see: Crimson Tide), the Soviets' SOP required five. But Clancy couldn't know this because it was, you know, a secret. Also, unknown to Tom Clancy (or anyone else in the West at the time) the Typhoon submarine has many independent pressure hulls (it's basically two subs in one external hull that share a CIC), and the missile silos are between the two forward hulls, and are thus completely inaccessible from within the sub while submerged.

Fun fact. This movie is based on Tom Clancy's book. And in the book the Americans did one more impressive stunt making the Soviets look like complete fools. They took a part of nuclear missile from The Red October and the men operating an american rescue sub took a Soviet general to the bottom of the ocean to the supposed wreakage of The Red October. While there, the operator of rescue sub took out the real part from the basket under his sub and made it look like he picked it up from the bottom. And the presented it to the general who reported to the government of USSR that he have seen it himself that this part was on the bottom of the ocean. And also after the American took everything out from The Red October, the bare hull was sunk in this very place.

Small historical inaccuracy: At 12:20 you can hear the word "Stalin" as the sailors are singing the Soviet anthem, this version of the song was no longer used after 1953 as part of de-Stalinization. The USSR was still led by cruel and oppressive communist bureaucrats to be sure, but they realized they had to separate themselves from Stalin if they wanted to maintain their power.

There were lots of details in the book that obviously couldn’t be squeezed into a two-hour film. The screenwriter did a great job of boiling down the book to a fantastically tight script that does retain a lot of the book’s plot. Some of the stuff that didn’t make it: the Americans were on board with Jack much earlier and they put a very elaborate decoy strategy into play, including a faux Red October that they really did blow up, the trip back to America from the spot in the Atlantic where the Russian crew was offloaded onto US Navy ships lasted days and the saboteur wasn’t discovered until midway through that journey, and when the Russian crew was brought back to the US before being returned to the Soviets, the US seeded their “escorts” with Russian-speaking experts in persuading Soviets to defect, so that a few of the lowest-ranking decided to stay behind in America. In later books, we find out that Jones went into the private sector and made a mint working for defense contractors, and Ramius ended up living in retirement in the Caribbean.

The new Virginia Class submarine has that type of propulsion as the Red October has now and is driven by joy stick. I was a Sonar Tech in the Submarine force and it was because of this movie and the TV show Sea Quest DSV I went into the Navy Submarine Force. The Sounds of the torpedoes in the water are 100% as you hear it in the movie. Hearing sounds in the water come out that clear, we when tracking a friendly sub and hear the drive alarm clear as if we were in the room. I served on the same class of sub as the USS Dallas.

Fun facts first the crew of the Red October were actual Russians who had just immigrated to the US. The reason Ramius is defecting is because he is upset with the way things are in Russia. His wife died of a disease easily treated with antibiotics unfortunately the antibiotics that were given were just water. the person that was manufacturing those antibiotics screwed up but because he was the son of a high ranking official he was never disciplined for his mistake.

I have seen this movie too many times to be healthy, but it hits a lot differently than it used to...when it comes to Alec Baldwin, some things don't react well to bullets. But real talk...if you guys have not read the book Hunt for Red October, I cannot recommend it more highly...it is a really terrific techno-thriller.✌

Somewhat right. Red October is 650 feet long. USS Wasp (CV-7) was 688 feet due to treaty limitations. USS Langley (CV-1), was 542 feet. Other American fleet aircraft carriers were 730 feet or longer. This isn't counting the "escort carriers" (the Bogue class was only 465 feet long) . The Japanese had several aircraft carriers that were only 590-600 feet long.

At the start when Skip Tyler is describing the new Russian drive and you said 'they are already in American waters' due to what Sonarman Jones on the USS Dallas said...ya have that a hair backwards hoss. First, technically a nation only has legal jurisdiction or sovereignty out 12 miles from its coasts. (Although driving a ballistic missile submarine that close to the coast during the Cold War would be seen as an Act of War. Cuba is a little over 100 miles from Florida and that nearly started a Nuclear War in the 1960's) Second the USS Dallas is deep in Barents Sea of the North Coast of the Soviet Union (east of Finland) they are watching specifically for Soviet SSBN as they leave their home ports. (Note USS Dallas does not carry SLBMs and I am fairly sure they are a bit more than 12 miles from the Russian Coast.)

Thanks for your great reaction to "The Hunt for Red October." Since you liked "The Hunt for Red October," you should react to the 1981 German film "Das Boot" which is regarded internationally as the best submarine warfare movie ever made. From the Wikipedia article: "Today, the film [Das Boot] is seen as one of the greatest German films. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film received an approval rating of 98% based on 55 reviews, with an average rating of 9.10/10. The critical consensus states "Taut, breathtakingly thrilling, and devastatingly intelligent, Das Boot is one of the greatest war films ever made." The film also has a score of 86 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 15 critics indicating "universal acclaim". For its unsurpassed authenticity in tension and realism, it is regarded internationally as pre-eminent among all submarine films."

Yesn't. As a sub movie it's better, but they are very different movies overall in tone and genre - so not directly comparable.
