As an ordinary person with no aviation experience, I wouldn't have noticed a problem with a lot of the stuff you pointed out, but I'll tell you one thing... if we had just major turbulence and the pilot came strolling back to have a chat with us, I'm pretty sure all of us passengers would be screaming our heads off for him to go sit his butt back in that chair and fly the danged plane.

Exactly. The more realistic ones either don't have crashes or are based on specific incidents, usually in the somewhat distant past (even the 90s is a period peice at this point.) It's a good problem, tbh! And I'm glad they don't base movies like this on real crashes as I think it's a bit disrespectful, when the plane going down is just a way to set up the plot.
@stellangios Жыл бұрын
@@Systox25 he said there was a realistic way to get blood on the captain's face, but did not offer one that would have the plane ditched. Yes it's technically possible to do this realistically but you've got to remember issues like pacing and not confusing the audience, and not just piling on problem after problem that would take out every other option for the pilots. That would feel "convenient" and ridiculous to the audience, and far less chilling than something so simple as a storm and a bureaucratic, greedy failure to provide enough fuel. You have to make the audience feel like this could happen to them. And it's tacky AF to just use a real crash for a plot device on a movie that is actually about what happens afterwards... So, we get this.

@@stellangios A plane could develop a hydraulic leak which will result in loss of control within minutes. A plane could have a fire in an inaccessible area near some control cables, which could result in the pilots having an unknown but likely limited amount of time before the plane becomes uncontrollable. A plane could develop a fuel leak which would limit the amount of time available before it turns into a glider. What's ironic is that having all of the displays all go dark may have been more dramatic than having most of them go dark, but would have made it impossible to maintain stable flight without view of an outside horizon, even if the pilot's controls were connected to the plane's control surfaces with functional cables and hydraulics, and further caused any statements about running off batteries to be pure guesswork. I think what's probably going on dramatically is that if one tried to have a realistic movie plot, it would be difficult for the audience know what options would and would not be available to the crew. Setting things in a universe where the only options that are available will be those that have been covered in the exposition may lead to more effective dramatic storytelling than would otherwise be possible *for an audience that knows nothing about how airplanes really work*. I think it would be interesting to see a simulator run where the pilots had to use a tablet as the only inertial guidance instrumentation (the tablet would need to receive information from the similator about the difference between actual and simulated motion, and adjust its display accordingly). I don't think a tablet's instrumentation would be good enough to allow smooth flight, but yaw and roll rate indicators might be just enough to let pilots stay airborne.

As a GA pilot and actor, I was once called to play a 747 co-pilot (with a real 747 co-pilot called to play the pilot) for a made-for-TV movie that the BBC was making. I was excited to be able to put a little realism into the show, and we were inside an actual decommissioned 747 at one of the plane graveyards here in Arizona. When the producer said he didn't think pilots wore roper cowboy boots to fly (what I wore to set) and the other actual 747 co-pilot showed up and backed me up on that (no laces, not likely to fall off, still looked mostly like dress shoes) I thought we could really contribute to the realism that these folks might not be familiar with. Unfortunately, they had to scratch our scene due to time and had to shoot it back in the UK somehow. I got paid for the day but I never did see how they ended up doing it.

the sad reality is most writers that produce Hollywood action flicks aren't the brightest. They fully suffer from Dunning-Kruger where they simply don't get how childish their understanding about ALMOST EVERYTHING is, because they often were the "creative type" back in the day who never paid any attention to life when they were supposed to be learning. I say this having run into many "adults" who clearly had almost zero idea how anything worked - meanwhile 8 year old me could have beat these adults on any knowledge or skills test - on just about ANY subject. To circle back to your question, they're too stupid to understand how stupid they are - they don't get that people WILL notice their mistakes, so they don't even bother to minimize them. Basically the wrong people are writing this stuff... we need Kelsey writing some scripts.

Rings of Power, The Witcher, the new Star Wars, Velma, that's all stemming from the same culture. And outliers like Top Gun: Maverick, or John Wick 4, are shunned for doing what the audience desires.

I saw this movie before seeing your reaction video. I got a big laugh at that complete electrical failure part too. I'm a retired aircraft mechanic, not a pilot. But I've recovered numerous flights that landed with reported lightning strikes. They usually never amount to much more than maybe weather radar system failures, a static dissipater or two...or three being damaged, or a problem with an avionics related component. Gerard Butler's character also mentioned something about "essential bus". I remembered telling my wife about how that bus handles all of the equipment that is essential to keeping the aircraft flying...just what's needed as a minimum to allow the aircraft to complete its flight. There are always transformer-rectifiers, inverters, etc. that can all mitigate effects of lightning strikes. A lightning strike usually enters at one point on the aircraft, then exits at another point. It isn't likely to impact anything that isn't in the immediate vicinity of the lightning's entry-to-exit path. Speaking of these lightning strikes, I had one such flight land where the pilots didn't even know they were struck. They just knew their weather radar failed, if I recall. It wasn't until after they landed and we found the burn mark on the radome consistent with a lightning strike that it became apparent what had actually happened. Don't forget that most modern aircraft also have a Ram Air Turbine (RAT) that can drop down from the belly to provide emergency electrical power, in the one in 11ty-billion chance that a complete electrical system failure does occur too. Gotta love Hollywood dramatics though. lol

Or, as a retired soldier, watching someone fire a machine gun and waving it in a 60 degree fast arc, magically hitting anything. Or the press branding the M4/M16/AR15 a super lethal round designed to always kill humans - it's a varmint round, designed so that soldiers could carry a lot more ammunition than the old 30-06 and .308 monster rounds and getting terminal effects beyond death ray wrong - they're actually far less predictable and nastier.

On my third flight ever for my PPL, we had an alternator failure toward the end of our hour-long flight on a C172. We lost all avionics, which included communications, as well as our flaps. My instructor ended up taking that particular landing, but I got to experience what a lost communication procedure was like as well as a zero-flap landing, which I know most aircraft are capable of with no problem, but it was just above my skill level at that time.

Given that each engine contains two generators, it is unlikely that all busses would fail simultaneously. Even then the PCU or RAT could be activated to supply emergency, electric power. Not to mention the exhaustive design and test applied to all designs prior to FAA certification. The airframe is designed to act as a Faraday cage to shield the interior. Radoms are equipped with diverter strips, comms with spark gaps protection devices, charge dissipaters on the trailing edges, etc. Testing is performed in accordance with RTCA DO-160 Sections 22 & 23, ARP45416, various circular advisories, FAA directives, and airframer specifications. Hollywood often ignores the extensive design features built into most systems.

I have so much about this..... I'm a aircraft avionics tech on the Airbus A320 series aircraft, 30+ years, started on B737-200/300's. I cannot sit through a show or movie that has aircraft in it without criticizing it BIG TIME... The only one I have ever really found to be as close to reality as possible with very little discrepancy is "SULLY". Kudos to Clint Eastwood and his production crew who did a great job researching for Sully. The production crew for this movie did ZERO... Looks like all they researched / reenact other crappy airplane movies... I love it when Kelsey is watching the clip and shaking his head... I can relate... So far the biggest thing I notice and that I cannot stand is that the flight deck and airframe DO NOT MATCH... a MAD DOG MD-80 does NOT look like the cockpit of an Airbus A320...nowhere near it... This is either supposed to be a MD-80 due to the 3 x 2 seat config n the cabin or it's an A320 series due to the cockpit and the galley area with the Forward Attendant Panel (FAP on classic A320's, new ones are touch screen) along with the reinforced cockpit security door we had to install after 9/11... The MD-80 service ceiling is only FL370 (37,000ft).... This plane cannot physically fly at FL400!!! Damn JT-8D's might flame out at that alt.... I heard an Altitude Alert horn go off (that's my phone app notification sound, my text notification is the A320 Autopilot disconnect warning, I know, I'm an aviation dork...)... Anyway, that's a Boeing Aural Warning... not Airbus... maybe an MD80, I'm not sure...unfamiliar with the Mad Dogs Altitude Alert... Kelsey's take on pilots showing other pilots pictures of their daughters cuz no pilot ever wants to see their daughter dating a pilot is pretty much same same for aircraft mechanics (me) who have daughters (mine) that are flight attendants that do not want to see their daughter dating pilots...lmao Yes... the overhead panel buttons, knobs, and switches do not budge and hurt like hell when your head comes into contact with them.....without turbulence.... The pilot getting up to tell the FA to have the passengers stay seated is to be done via the interphone system....THAT'S WHY IT'S THERE!!!! Lightning strikes are extremely common, the whole aircraft electrical system and avionics systems getting fried due to lightning...practically unheard of... For more explanations as to why this movie sucks for die hard (don’t get me started on that movie…lol) aviation enthusiasts, see the reply comments.
@Flyby-1000 Жыл бұрын
For lightning strikes, if MD80, it's a fly by cable aircraft and they would be able to maintain directional control of the aircraft. If it supposed to be an A320, you lose all power, you lose flight controls until power is restored, via the APU, RAT (Ram Air Turbine) for ship batteries for @ 25 mins of power, worse case... There are only two flight control systems on the A320 that can be cable driven manually with limited directional control, the rudder and the THS (Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer). One other system that has cables is the Gravity Extension of the Landing Gear... BTW, the engines won’t stop running just because you lose electrical power. There are mechanical “suction” pumps on the engines to continue feeding fuel to the engines. If this is an MD80, the engine controls are cable driven, if this is an A320, the engines are electronically controlled, but the ECU / EEC has a designated alternator on the engine gear box to provide electrical power to still control the engines… There are standby instruments on aircraft that are separate from the main systems, old school mechanical in the MD80 or independent battery operated on the A320, so they’ll have airspeed and altitude available.

Hi Kelsy, batteries for emergency lighting are autonomous from the rest of the aircraft system. Once armed, they are kept in hot standby by a relay that receives power from either L or R AC busses. When yoy lose both, the relay relaxes and connect their seperate batteries to these lights. The cockpit has the layout of the A320, but with a b737 type yoke ( with the note clip), the DC9/MD80 yoke has a different center part) , The overhead panel has push type buttons, while DC9/MD 80 has mostly mechanical switches.

This movie probably had a technical advisor, but the way it works today is that the technical advisor has a long idea session with the writers, and then the writers either disregard 90% of what the advisor said (and cherry pick the rest) or the writers just stretch and exaggerate everything the advisor said. When I was in the military I was sent into a no win situation and a major put his career on the line to vouch for me and save my bacon. Therefore, I developed an admiration for the major. Fast forward 15 years. In that timespan I noticed that the major had been promoted to lieutenant colonel, retired, and that he had worked on a bunch of films as "technical advisor", even though these films stank because they got a bunch of things wrong. I ran into the, now lieutenant colonel, at a reunion, then basically hovered near him. I found that the Lt. Col. had become a name dropping snooty pooper with a high opinion of himself who didn't, in any way, resemble the strong and brave major I once knew. It was such a huge disappointment for me.

And my brother had been a private pilot and I had him checking some of the info. Same when I blew up a building in book 4. I told my friends on Facebook to get bail money together because I was going to go talk to the local bomb squad about how to build bombs to do what I needed to do. A friend called me almost the moment I hit "post" and said, "What the hell are you doing?" Thankfully, he had been involved in bomb stuff in the Army and he talked me though it, with what I could put in and what to leave out. He was the expert, I followed his lead. And, the last one I wrote, last year, I have a scene with the burial of a Marine Corps Gunnery Sargent at Arlington. I did as much research as I could, then I sent it to my other brother (the younger) who had been in Washington and had done some of the burials. He called me and told me "You have to dump this, it's Army. Over here you say...nope, that's not right either." The result was something much better than I did originally.

At 5:58, apart from taking off at 40,000 feet, it’s interesting they are taxing at 250 knots

I saw this in theaters and the entire time kept noticing things you might point out and kept thinking I couldn’t wait for you to hopefully do a Hollywood versus reality on It, and sure enough you did! Was not disappointed lol there was more than I thought you’d find on it. As always, another great video! Also, I’d love to see you review the rest especially where they “refly” the plane after crash landing

Yeah I was hoping he was going to say come back for part two. One thing I’m not to sure on is the range of this aircraft and whether it has a (I think they said) 6 hour flight

Do they take off from the ocean? I didn’t think this could get sillier, but clearly it does 😂

I don't know if someone already noticed and commented but when one member of the flight deck leave the cockpit typically a FA gets in. And nowadays FA gets inform that the door will be open so they can block from passengers

This reminds me of that paraglider pilot that got sucked up into a thunderstorm. She was going up at around 200km/h lost consciousness at around 6500m got spat out the storm at over 10000m, regained consciousness at around 4000m severely hypothermic, but managed to land in a field soaking wet and with a harness full of hail. She survived but another pilot got zapped with lightning and died unfortunately.

I've seen this movie, and the first time I watched it I was like "There is just too much wrong with this thing about airplanes". Including the ND saying their TAS and GS was 250 when they were lined up on the runway. The cockpit being a mixture of an Airbus and Boeing as well. Just too much wrong with this thing.

The thing that bothers me the most is how they couldn't even be arsed to properly center the content of the MIP displays with their frame. It's all cropped up and misplaced. Also look at the roll markings around the (round??) attitude indicator at 5:58... not a single one of them is aligned or padded like the others, it's like they hired a 12 yo to set up the screens...

@@alessandroceloria That's a real budget movie I guess. I was surprised when I watched the movie the first time that the First Officer had three stripes and the Captain had four on their epaulettes

As soon as I saw the trailer and he said, “We’re going dark”, I immediately said… NOPE. This is going to be dumb as shit.

Every indication and readout at their PFD and ND is nonsense. The form, and shape want to look like Airbus but it's all wrong, they standing at 40000 and 250 IAS, but doing speed descend nav mode with a cat 3 approach dual with a 100 feet decision height, with some indication of some runway in Boston and a QNH 29.93. On the ND they are direct to Changi Airport (without lateral guidance), direct 851 nm, with 13 miles from a VOR set in Monclova (South America). I am recking they even got ripped off on some Chinese-built home simulator of nonsense somebody built without ANY knowledge of what he is doing.

A lot of time they (Hollywood) actually hire a pilot, the issue is the director / producer / vfx sup don't have to listen to him/her. They're an advisory role, and a resource, just like a set dresser or costume designer, gaffer, any role on a set can be ignored to a certain extent, but depending on the role (Best Boy Electric) you can and will hurt people if you don't listen to them. So if the pilot states "There's no marking on the runway" and the VFX Sup / Studio states it's out of budget to track and digitally add the markings, then they don't get added. It's also likely they it's too expensive to shoot on a real airport, so they shot on some county road, and added some tea lights or something to the road. As most things it boils down to Money and Power. Had the director listened, and wanted the numbers and the runway to look better, it would have happened. And the likely (SME) Subject matter expert (Pilot) gets paid either way, so he'll raise the objection, gets shot down and shuts up....

😂 I’ve never laughed so much watching a video! You’ve got a fantastic sense of humour Kelsey, you find the really funny stuff amusing - or at any rate you find the same kind of stuff amusing that I do 😂. I’ve not seen this movie or even heard of it, but I couldn’t watch it now. This is one of the very best channels on KZbin.

My good friend and fellow skydiver was a Captain for American and is now retired. Her daughter married a jet jockey in the military and the parents love him. So it does happen. In this case the whole family flies and skydives and both parents made their livings at flying. The husband was an A&P and licensed parachute rigger. The wife was also a CFI.
