Before Tom Cruise we had Clint

[@cameraman655]

Tom, who….?

[@GatchamanG4]

No comparison...Clint is the Man!!

[@RSTI191]

Did you really just say that?

[@jamesdesanders5618]

My Dad and I went to see this when I was younger. Great memories and great movie! Love anything Clint is in.

same here

[@reidycruise]

Watched it in Blackpool went to the circus held a a python and sat on a croc or gator I was about 10 lol kfc was a no go lol x

[@wackojim]

Saw this flick on TV in the late 80s as a kid. To me, the Firefox was the most awesome, most intimidating fighting aircraft ever. The shots where it raises parallel curtains of water in its wake was the coolest thing ever. The bird was very well designed, more than 40 years after the movie's release, it still looks as threatening as it did back then. 👍👏

[@OldGeezer55]

I really like the practical effects of this movie. The SXF were not great back then, but man, those models and props! Great work.

[@EduardoSouza-km9kh]

One of the best movies with jets. I loved.

Awesome movie. One of my favorites.

[@foreigner777]

как название фильма?

[@estebanpitou7917]

Brilliant film!!!

[@bridgecross]

It's uncanny how the angular lines of the Firefox predicted what real stealth would look like. Even more when you consider the timeline. This came out in 1983, and the F-117 first flew in '83 but wasn't revealed to the public until '88. I wonder if the filmmakers tried to research stealth and found the original *Soviet* paper showing that angular facets reduce radar signature. I further wonder if there was any panic in the Pentagon about the film!

[@dciccantelli]

Actually it came out in 1982. I remember seeing it in the theater that summer.

[@Michaelfatman-xo7gv]

Lotta stuff came out weird. The helicopter in Red Dawn was what the original Hinds looked like.

[@That_Stealth_Guy]

First flight of F-117A was in 1981, by tail #780 which is on static display on Nellis AFB.

[@bridgecross]

@@That_Stealth_Guy Would that have been for testing, before it became operational? It's wild how long it was flying before the public even knew it existed.

[@That_Stealth_Guy]

@@bridgecross That was for testing, tail #'s 780-785 being the test aircraft. First operational aircraft was delivered in 1982 tail # 786 AKA "War Pig" and being declared operational in Oct 1983. Fun Fact the last NIghthawk #843 was built in Jul 1990.

Good memories of this typic Cold War period movies...this plane makes me remember the GI joe toy : black plane of Cobra : Raven from 1988, or 2008 rise of cobra model ( my favorite ) many thanks for sharing............... ; )

[@mikebennet7697]

Interesting that in 1982 the movie designers knew about "top secret" stealth techniques like putting the intakes on top of the wing where radar was unlikely to bounce off them.

[@wackojim]

Great montage and music! 👍👏

They should film the sequel “Firefox Down” with Scott Eastwood.

[@willywonka4340]

The downside of making this Firefox down sequel is that the plane itself would be submerged underwater for the film's entirety. 🤷‍♂️

[@mroctober3657]

@@willywonka4340 It really lived up (or down) to the title in that respect.

[@bogao5558]

Wish they could remake this movie.

[@5133937]

One little detail about this plane that’s pretty cool is, there are no rivets in its metal work. Soviet planes of the time were (and still are afaik) build with standard rivet work joining the skin to the airframe. But Firefox’s skin is smooth and sleek, no rivets.

[@joshtiel2980]

I seem to recall the foxbat was actually welded together to be able to withstand the high heat of high speed interception. Had some rivets but that was underneath the welder exterior... the internet is welcome to correct me here if I'm off.

[@Muck006]

@@joshtiel2980 Doesnt work for the Firefox ... the SR-71 leaks fuel until it reaches "operating speed/temperature" ... and making it FIXED weld connections will introduce problems, because different materials expand at a different rate. You ALWAYS need to use different materials to "have the best material for a specific job".

[@williamewing5509]

I have got the movie DVD of Clint Eastwood and Freddie Jones in Firefox and I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxxxx

[@epi2045]

@@JustAboutTime Considering how there’s so many remakes and sequels… that would be so sweet if they did Firefox Down.

[@jaybee2402]

@@epi2045 Not sure if it could be believed, given how far behind the Russians have shown themselves recently. Maybe a flip with them stealing a F-5000 or whatever from a secret US installation! 😂😂

[@Willysmb44]

I read that the MIG31 mockup had a VM motor connected to the main landing ger and that the nose gear was cobbled together from an F-4's nose gear. Would have been neat if it could have been preserved somehow...

[@baronvonbeedy7987]

The movie ending is the movie ending. In the novels, Firefox Down (second novel), the Russian pilot managed to score a hit on the fuel tank causing a leak. This refuelling by the US sub only got him to Finland and the epic story just gets bigger as the Russians capture Clint and take him back to Russia to Lubyanka KGB headquarters Lenningrad. Its actually better than the first novel and movie portion but for movie purposes its too long and grinding to include in one movie story line. Too much to unpack with Clint's Vietnam PTSD....lol. I believe there was discussions with Clint 30 years ago to make it, but it never was.

[@stegatops1]

The Firefox design owes a lot to the YF-17 Blackbird, the Phantom and the Hornet.......Im not sure that particular design could do mach 6, but lets suspend that disbelief for a while longer!

[@RoadkillFXSTC]

More like the A-12 !! The SR-71 fighter version that carried Missiles. It's shorter in length, but uses a interceptor radar system. Only problem, missiles do Mach 2. Jet does Mach 3.22 !!?? OOPS! It would had protected the XB-70 Valkyrie Mach 3 Bomber.

[@fredericjodoche5623]

[@richardalvarado3759]

Recuerdo que cuando ví esta película creía que el diseño y capacidades del avión eran muy futuristas y de ciencia ficción pero a la fecha de hoy, a 39 años de su estreno en la gran pantalla, se puede notar que se ha avanzado mucho y que esta ficción ya no se encuentra muy lejana.

You mean at 1:51? It looks like they can change their sweep angle, something like how the F-14 swings its wings when going supersonic. I have to admit that's actually quite neat. I had ideas along those lines as a fighter plane fanboy when imagining designing my own ultimate fighter plane.
