Con Air (1997) - Cyrus Got Killed in Hydraulic Press

Newly paroled ex-con and former U.S. Ranger Cameron Poe finds himself trapped in a prisoner transport plane when the passengers seize control.

[@tacitus6384]

I love how that over-street walking bridge is like a teleportation gateway that Cyrus goes through to materialise in another part of town above some power lines.

[@TomRogersOnline]

Well that's Cyrus.

[@Michael-cz6ob]

Then straight into a random construction yard lol. Then he's somehow on an escalator machine that drops him no where near that press machine yet one camera cut later he's somehow head first under it 🤣 Seeiously look how fast that machine goes up and down its not like Cyrus would even be stupid enough or have time to crawl under that thing to catch his breath! Just hitting those powerlines at least would have been enough

[@robdavies1230]

I cant wait to go the Vegas and see the industrial rock crusher on the strip!

Yes

[@timothy3732]

If I ever go I will put my money down on the crusher.

[@gc8392]

Listen, y’all need to stop with all of this. I was there yesterday and they still haven’t cleaned Cyrus’s blood off of it yet. Apparently with the nickname “the virus” and this whole Covid thing, you can only get 6 feet away from it as long as you are wearing a mask…

[@travis_mitchell]

The editing and continuity is monumentally awful. John Cusack, one of the three main characters literally disappears from the top of the truck, Cyrus gets launched through a window, hits the ground, then magically teleports onto a conveyer belt, falls off about 10 feet away the Hydraulic Press, only for him to be perfectly positioned underneath it in the next shot, somehow alive for all of it. It’s as if they filmed multiple deaths, couldn’t figure out which death worked the best, so they just combined random shots from all of them. I love it.

[@djones1304]

Bloody good kill though

[@judyhopps9380]

it explains this in a deleted scene. Cyrus the Virus killed that pile driver's parents, so it swore revenge. There's a whole subplot where it was going to be in contact with Larkin, and give them a ride in its cement mixer friend. They cut these scenes out though, along with the gay love plot between Colm Meeney and Swamp Thing. Larkin having teleportation came from him reading a lot of books, being loquacious, and accidentally mastering sorcery from an old tome.

[@67maxfield]

@@judyhopps9380 lmao

[@joseayala8506]

Actually Cusak disappeared because he went through the tiny door and ended up inside Malcovich’s head

[@MTC008]

at 2:11 Vince Larkin jumped out of the truck through the roof of a car

[@Unicysis]

Seems that Cyrus was hard-pressed to accept his fate

[@Cliff_Dixon_42]

Plane crashed. Punched, pummeled, and stabbed by Nicolas Cage. Crashes THROUGH a pedestrian overpass. Falls several feet onto electrical wires, half-electrocuting him. Falls down several MORE feet onto a conveyor belt, which deposits him -- head first -- under a pile driver, which drops down and crushes his skull. When I saw this in the theaters, and for many years AFTERWARDS at home, I'd still yell out the same thing: *ARE YOU SURE HE'S DEAD?!?*

[@Zerradable]

HAHAHAHA It looks like one of those overly complex domino videos.

[@drygnfyre]

Reminds me of Scream 2, when they even explain on the "rules" is to never assume the bad guy, no matter how much damage he or she takes, is dead. Then the end of the that film tests the theory.

[@zacharybutler5944]

this is by far the craziest death i have ever seen in any movie ever, his death is like a rube goldberg machine

[@darth856]

I didn't realize as a kid how truly over the top and silly this is. Entertaining as hell though.

[@AttilaLegit]

how is this silly you fool?

[@kevina5337]

Seriously... does it ever explain how Cyrus crashes through a window on the Vegas strip and somehow ends up at some industrial dump site? Lol I've always been mystified by that

[@totoroiswatching]

yeah... im a local in vegas and there are *no* industrial dump sites

[@adude8424]

lol same been wondering that since I was a kid. Cheap ending to give cyrus gore death i think

[@megabyte1778]

At 2:10 there does appear to be some sort of building site to the left, I could be mistaken. Even if it is a building site there's no way Cyrus would have been launched through the window all the way there.

[@Mrkesakul]

Editing proces s, some missing parts are still lying on the floor.

[@queennetpadillaenriquez]

It’s fate. Hahahahahahah

[@patrickbateman3944]

Diamond Dog's death was hilarious, got blown up by a bike going full speed on its own. And then Cyrus, somehow lands into an industrial area after being electrocuted despite being in the middle of the street. Classic movie tho

[@Facelessman254]

The editing on Cyrus the viruses death always amuses me.. How on earth did he get thrown from that firstruck through a sign.. Through electrical cords.. Which was all on a public road and somehow end up in a construction yard on an escalator that drops him no way near that crushing device machine yet one camera cut later he's perfectly placed head first into it 😂

[@ShadowDeist]

makes no sense right lol, this movie was fun but weird at times

[@KYoung-kj7hr]

He fell through multiple portals that teleported him to different areas... 😂

[@zom8680]

Totally enjoying reading all the comments still confused as I am as to how Cyrus landed on a construction site from the strip. Between this and the three seashells it's questions we will never know the answers to

[@timothy3732]

Just who in the fuck runs construction equipment like that at night and then leaves it unsupervised? "Turn it on and go home Jenkins. I'm sure nothing bad will happen. It's not like some guy will end up on his back with his head there and get crushed to death, ya know?"

[@nobody-ko7mg]

gotta love those 90's action movies

[@raftai665]

I remember seeing this as a kid and thought Cyrus screaming in pain was hilarious AF @ 01:08 "aaaaaaa". Saw it again and still do🤣

[@Notadrianmonroy]

Has anyone mentioned how Cyrus crashed thru that street bridge while HANDCUFFED but later fell into the hydraulic press with BOTH HANDS??

[@kingbeef66]

Cyrus was one of the most badass action villains there is and that John Malkovich has played.

2:44 How the hell did he get on a conveyor belt?? He's on his back. When flipped, his FEET would be towards the hydraulic press, but he's still feet on this side of it and falls on the ground. Suddenly he's on his back inside of the hydraulic press tower about to get crushed. Also, why is there a random hydraulic press there to begin with? What is it pressing?

[@Bongarelli]

Pressing it's luck in believability

[@BagelsGuy]

The word hydraulic reminds me or lowriding cars in rap songs

[@mrcheesesmith]

He falls about 10 feet from the pile driver with his legs facing towards it and suddenly his head is directly underneath the Parth of the crusher.

There couldn't be, they were driving along the Las Vegas strip, and yet Cyrus somehow crashed through the overpass and ended up in a construction site. The writers obviously didn't know what they were doing-still a cool movie though!

[@RB2331]

I saw this opening night and enjoyed it. It’s a classic. I still have the Blu-ray, but can I be honest the movie was A+ on the plane a little over the top but very entertaining good writing, especially from that famous Guard😎 scene in the opening scene, but I would’ve as the screen writer changed this I would’ve taken all this out over the top stunts. I would’ve just had them go to Vegas and somehow they captured and killed. This was so over the top And ruined a very good classic movie for what it is. Let’s be honest, but they went way over the top.
