10 Things You Didn't know About Armageddon

[@Jayk129]

The best factoid about “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing” is that Steven Tyler didn’t want to do the song because Aerosmith didn’t write it. Then they showed him the scene with Gracie (Played by HIS daughter Liv) saying goodbye to Harry via TV. Tyler broke down crying and immediately agreed to do the song.

I like the scene where Chick (Will Patton) goes to see his ex and his young son doesn't know who he is. Chick apologizes for his past mistakes and is doing something that will make them proud.

Not only was "I don't want to miss a thing" Aerosmith a number one song, but their first number one in their career.

[@jonathankozenko]

Here's two more --- 1) Michael Bay was completely confused by Criterion's decision to make an Armageddon release; he was proud when he found out that they were making one for The Rock, but his response to Armageddon getting one was more or less: ".......why?" Supposedly Criterion decided this because Armageddon was the first mega-hit that incorporated a lot of the overly-kinetic visual trappings that, at the time were unique, but only a decade later were pretty much commonplace. 2) They didn't know who to cast for the role of Bear, when Michael Bay just happened to see Michael Clarke Duncan at the gym and approached him about it. Because this later got Duncan numerous roles including The Green Mile, which won him a Saturn Award, he was actually happy to make an extended cameo for Bay's later film: The Island.

To put that into definition, a lot of the time CGI seems dated, but not all the time, is not so much the effects themselves but the quality of display is increasingly getting better. For example this movie was released in 1998. Flat screen CRT'S (Cathode Ray Tubes aka the big boxy televisions) anyone older than 25 would remember was in most homes Playing any CGI movie designed for a CRT on a modern 8K television or even a 1080i will look laughable if not pitiful

[@Panthror]

A movie where Bruce Willis meets a younger version of himself? Yeah, I remember that, it's called 'Looper' and it's a pretty good movie. Also: Teaching astronauts to use a big drill is the original plan in the movie, but Bruce Willis' character demands to do the job with his own crew or he'd walk, and that's how we get drillers going into space.

[@petermerchant4439]

I've gotta admit, when I heard about Affleck asking that, I was, like, "Dude, it's explained in the movie. Or did you only read your lines?" Could you train astronauts to drill (and do it well)? Yes. But it will take time and it's not like there's a school for that. On the other hand, there is a way to train people to be astronauts. There's a fun story about the Moon landings where astronauts didn't know anything about geology so they would bring back "boring" rocks. So they spent months training the Apollo 16 astronauts about geology so they could have some idea of what the scientists were looking for. Now, in the movie, they had something like 78 days(?) 'til the astroid hit. Probably not enough time to teach astronauts how to drill.

[@joaocharneca2119]

Oh yeah... this movie is such a guilty pleasure for so many of us, including myself. Bay is probably one of the luckiest film directors there is, not because he's good at his job, but because people let him do whatever he pleases, because most of his movies are popcorn blockbusters, which bring lots of money to the studios. It's like they once said: "If it's a Bay movie, it'll probably bad as Hell, but it'll bring in lots of cash, because most people love bad movies." I, myself don't dislike him totally... I mean, he did a couple of good movies, but I think everything he touches, he ends up ruining it, sooner or later (we saw that with the Transformers movies) just like J.J. Abrams. For all that is worth, Armageddon was probably the worst sci-fi movie ever made in the 90's, but at the same time, it was also one of the biggest and best action movies of the late 90's. It had a great cast, filled with numerous superstars (actors and actresses that were already big names in the industry, or that would become later on), amazing special effects that still hold pretty good (you can see that Disney spent a lot of money on those special effects) and a great soundtrack, courtesy of Aerosmith. And regarding Bruce's legal trouble with Disney, I knew that he had been forced to do Armageddon and The Kid for Disney, but I didn't know The Sixth Element was part of that agreement. Still, all's well when ends well, because it was due to the Sixth Sense, that he would end up scoring the lead part in "The Protector" (and its sequel "Glass"), and it was due to Armageddon that when Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller developed Sin City, he got the part of Hartigan (initially they wanted Michael Douglas for the part, but he refused), because Tarantino (with whom Bruse worked on Pulp Fiction), suggested him to the other two, because he had loved him on Armageddon and didn't shut up about it, leading to Rodriguez and MIller contacting him for the part.

[@dawienel6598]

After Bad Boys I was a Micheal Bay fan. The Rock...rocked hard. But man, Armageddon blew everything out of the sky. Over the top, loud and fast, it is everything you want in a Saturday evening film. And that scene in the end, after they returned to earth, the "right stuff" walk, where there are a number of gaps, it gets me every time.

[@ShyGuy83]

I remember a time when Diane Warren was turning out pop song after pop song after pop song and they were in practically every single 80s and 90s soundtrack and played on practically every single radio station on the planet.

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

Fun facts: Even though they had a lot of popular songs, Aerosmith's "I don't want to miss a thing," was their only #1 single... ever. The Space Shuttle launch scene where two shuttles launched at the same time in short planning, critics laughed it off. Fast-forward to now when SpaceX not only has landed multiple booster rockets backwards on land simultaneously from their Falcon Heavy launches, but also has record turnaround time for re-launches and launch cadence in general. If a meteor were headed towards Earth and timeliness was of the essence, one could imagine that certain risks would be waived and things like this could be accelerated even more if needed (if you had nothing to lose anyway why not). When going to the movies to see an action blockbuster, most people want to escape their weekly grind and be entertained. Armageddon did that for the time. The fact that critics dove deep into details of the meteor like "he said it was the size of Texas," come on, it's a movie, not a documentary. That's like watching Gran Torino and then complaining that the movie was bogus because the car in the movie wasn't environmentally friendly.

I loved this movie and I still love this movie. It was never about the science, it was about the relationships. That is what made the movie successful and that is why I still love it.

This is how you fix things you Russian space station because I don’t want to stay here anymore. Now we can go home

I really enjoyed it as a kid. I was 10 when it came out

I like watching Minty videos. Many make you want to go back and watch the productions he reviews. This is example of one of those that I liked and would watch again.

[@alilately1013]

Thank you. Thank you so much for not playing even one second of that damned song!!! And it is my favorite cheezy movie.

[@mr.logicpants2835]

Minty, I really enjoy your videos. I'm looking forward to the next one.

And why did they have a minigun on the asteroid ....

Thanks for this Minty. Armageddon is just a fun movie with (as an Aerosmith fan) a kickass soundtrack., and try as I may I can't help shedding as tear when Harry / Bruce dies.

I loved this movie. The epitome of summer popcorn blockbuster fun.

[@Not-TheOne]

Both Armageddon and Deep Impact were great movies, different takes on different situations. I saw both in the theaters and loved them both.

As soon as Minty asked if we remembered the time when Willis met his younger self I thought of 12 monkeys, looper, and surrogates. Fun fact; Mark Chestnut the country singer actually played I don't want to miss a thing himself on his tour back in 1999.

[@whutzat]

Surrogates was underrated and is very pertinent to what's happening now.

[@chriswilliams7601]

Yeah, Mark Chestnut's version was a huge radio hit on the country charts. Couldn't get away from that one either.

After rewatching both this past year Deep impact is forgettable but Armageddon is something I can watch every year.
