Ramius might have gone back. After all, he certainly lived long enough to not only see the fall of Communism and the Soviet Union's collapse but also lived to see his native Lithuania be one of the first to declare their independence from the Soviets to boot. I'd think he'd snuck back into Lithuania to at least see that day first hand. He might not have been able to see his Natalia again but he'd consider seeing Lithuania free from the Soviets a very good consolation prize.

FUN FACT: The production didn't have access to a real Typhoon class submarine, so they built an above-the-waterline mock-up by getting a ship yard to turn a bunch of huge sea barges upside down, weld them together and add a conning tower and dressing it up. They did a pretty amazing job, really.

NorthForkFisherman yes. But every one has 200 nuclear warhead on board. That is 600 dead city before you say nuclear.

[@NorthForkFisherman]

Radoslav komar True. But while the Akula is going away, the Ohios are not. And the first flight of those have been changed over to a SSGN configuration. So, despite the unearned jump in technology in the Russian fleet, they are still playing catch up to where the West is today. The boats that give me pause are the UK, German, and Swedish AIP boats. Those fuckers are scary quiet. I think the Project 877 Halibut class boats will have to fill that gap until the 677 Lada boats become available in numbers.

[@WinnyJ1]

NorthForkFisherman My old man told me a story once. His uboat was tasked with intercepting an american task force with a carrier as the prime target (this was a naval exercise with a bunch of country) So they where able to sneak in but they need a picture of the carrier. the only problem with that was that they where so close that they needed 4 picture to get the whole length of it. They escaped and no one discovered them. Funny enough the Americans did not believe it at first so they demand that we did it one more time. Sure enough my old man did it. I believe i remember him talking about snorkeling beside the tanker (main target because the carrier was unavailable) This time the fleet command had to go back to the USA to explain how he lost his command ship twice. Good old diesel subs.

Before I retired I worked with a guy from Russia - a great guy who, along with his wife and young daughter, have become American citizens. Alex and I were both sons of the WWII generation to give you some idea of our age. Alex has a great sense of humor but one thing gets his goat. His greatest complaint is the American treatment of Russian members of the military in movies concerning only one issue, and that is that in every movie, sooner or later, the soldiers, sailors or airmen burst into song. He actually becomes quite affected by this ... "I served my time as a conscript as all Russian boys do and never, never, NEVER - not even one time - have I heard soldiers just spontaneously singing." His wife, who is a rather laid back and quiet person bursts into laughter whenever he starts on this gripe because she knows how worked up he will get. After a few minutes he calms down, looks around and sees the smile on everyone's faces and then bursts out in laughter himself. .... He also says that in every western-made movie the accents of the Russians are very very bad.

The Hunt For Red October was fairly amazing for another reason not mentioned here. It portrayed the Russians as a formal and dignified adversary. It eschewed the easy black-white dichotomy of America Good, Russia Bad, instead providing a deeper and richer palette from which to develop characters, plot, and drama. Really, this was a great movie made well. I'd be surprised if it fails to withstand the test of time.

Whenever anyone says it's a cold morning i usually respond with "And hard". If they understand the reference it is a good thing. If they don't, they think i'm a pervert....

"Time indeed" - Sean C gives us a hint of his intentions with just these two simple words. His facial expressions does the rest.

[@trajan231]

"Time indeed". Then uses a look of (for lack of better terms) patriotism crossed with "You need protecting from yourself"

[@jacobhiller6731]

Sean is such a good actor you fail to notice his Scottish accent when playing a Russian character....

If anyone fails to notice Connery's accent they're deaf. His failure to mimic any accent but his own is one of his most noticeable traits.

Best submarine movie ever!! After Das Boot of course :)

[@BlaneNostalgia]

People who like Red October should check out Das Boat

[@mroctober3657]

One of the best fictional captain's. John Milius, who wrote Apocalypse Now penned the "We shail into history" Captain address to the crew which got Connery to sign on to the project.

[@tomparatube6506]

-Jefrey Pelt: "Mr. Ambassador, you have nearly a hundred naval vessels operating in the North Atlantic right now. Your aircraft has dropped enough sonar buoys so that a man could walk from Greenland to Iceland to Scotland without getting his feet wet. Now, shall we dispense with the bull?" -Ambassador Lysenko: "You make your point as delicately as ever, Mr. Pelt"

[@Sarge2198]

The delivery of those lines is forever etched in my head from regular rewatches of this movie. I loved how the actor played Pelt.

RIP Sir Sean. A great actor, a man with so much presence. I've always thought: man, if I reach 60 I would like to be as handsome as him at that age. most women liked him more at 60 than when he was much younger

[@GoGreen1977]

I'm a woman, born about 30 years after Mr. Connery, who has rarely found older men appealing as a romantic partner, but I would always make an exception for him (and Michael Caine) if I had any chance.

[@EnricoPolanski]

[@fredrik999z]

Das Boot Red October Crimson Tide 3 best sub-movies..

[@Mitrovah]

Fredrik Hansson The Enemy Below,

[@FrLawRE]

An equally good sub movie in my opinion is "Das Boot"(The Boat), which depicts the mission of a World War Two German U Boat. In this movie one sees quickly the danger of these missions and the Spartan living conditions in these WW2 subs.

I feel so sorry for Captain Ramius watching this. Just by looking at his eyes you can tell how he feels. He loves his country but leaves it because he cannot stand the system ruling it. And the thought that he will never be able to return breaks his heart. He has my sympathy.

[@astrolillo]

Ramius was Lithuanian, most of those guys would sell all the Russians for peanuts

[@DavidAndreaBernhard]

@@astrolillo True, but at the time he could not know when or even if the Soviet Union would ever break down. It must have seemed like saying good-bye to his home for good.

[@AmySox]

@@astrolillo Ramius had been a sub driver for so long, the area around Polyarnyy and Murmansk _was_ his home. To such an extent that he _had_ one, at least on land. And yes, he knew that was the last time he'd be leaving it. One way or another.
