The Andromeda Strain (1971) - Laser Turrets Scene (10/10) | Movieclips

[@nick37104]

RIP to James Olson, who we lost this year. An intense scene, well played out by Hill and Olson.

[@tuttt99]

He was the last surviving principal cast member.😢

[@pompom11]

Age 91, the lady who hung herself lived to 95. Great movie, I saw it when I was in 10th grade at the theater. “Self destruct has been cancelled.” Most baby boomers would know exactly where this line came from. 🎥

[@JohnWesleyDowney]

One of the best suspense sci-fi films of the 70s. Robert Wise did a superb job of adapting the book to the movie screen.

[@Milnoc]

Apparently, Chrichton himself was thoroughly impressed. He was a consultant on the production, but he couldn't help them very much because the finer details were already worked out.

[@ronaldh8446]

49 years old, just watched for the 1st time a few weeks ago. Very entertaining. Also learned that James Olson had just passed away (April 17th). He was terrific in this movie. R.I.P.

[@lisa-el3db]

The monotone recording warning is just nerve racking... The sirens. He realized the important part he would play once those rubber seals melted. I think I ate half my popcorn bin in 3 minutes.

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

James Olson still kept me on the edge of my chair with this...in 2020.

[@CaminoAir]

Olsen and Hill were very good actors. The entire cast are all very believable in this film.

[@nick37104]

They're all brilliant character actors, and they all LOOK the part. You buy each one as a scientist, or in Olson's case, a general surgeon.

[@tuttt99]

@@nick37104 I thought Olson was cute, in a Roy Thinnes kind of way.

[@delavalmilker]

One of the most nail-biting scenes ever in a movie!

[@robertodeleon-gonzalez9844]

With all due respect, this is the way the story should have been filmed - no the way it was made for the TV miniseries.

[@tuttt99]

It WAS filmed this way. You just watched it.

[@robertodeleon-gonzalez9844]

@@tuttt99 You are right. What I meant was that the way the TV series made it was not right, as in way too far from the source material.

[@BedsitBob]

I agree. The mini-series was rubbish.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

I wonder if the folks that made *ALIEN* [1979] patterned the audio _Mother_ speaking the self-destruct countdown of the Nostromo after this part of this movie.

[@rocketmentor]

I was 16 at the time and remember the laser manufacturer Perkin Elmer had their personnel on set to safely operate the frequency doubled infrared laser which made a green beam much like today's green pointers do.

[@csnyder23]

This scene is severed in my memory from a kid, up there with end of Star Wars and docking sequence of Interstellar as most stressful ever.

Bro, after that Lazer hit him he just started tripping

[@davidmdyer838]

IN the book it isn't LASERs, it's darts that drug you which makes sense. I don't know why they changed it to LASERs, it doesn't make sense that LASERs would make you dopey.

[@Swarm509]

@@davidmdyer838 I think they wanted something that could be seen, plus this is the era of laser being super future tech and sci-fi. I agree the darts make more sense though.

[@davidmdyer838]

@@Swarm509 It also doesn't make sense that a LASER would just fire a short pulse, that the targeting system would be designed to be too slow to be effective, etc. I liked the darts!

With less than 10 seconds to spare. Whew!

[@BedsitBob]

@@tyrese3745 Eight seconds to spare. Hardly even exciting. 😁

[@edbeaty]

@@BedsitBob From the novel: Hall said, "How much time was left?" "When you turned the key? About thirty-four seconds." Hall smiled. "Plenty of time. Hardly even exciting." "Perhaps from where you were," Stone said. "But down on Level V, it was very exciting indeed. I neglected to tell you that in order to improve the subterranean detonation characteristics of the atomic device, all air is evacuated from Level V, beginning thirty seconds before explosion." "Oh," Hall said.

[@BedsitBob]

@@edbeaty I was quoting Ruth Leavitt, from the movie.

[@edbeaty]

@@BedsitBob I know, I just thought the bit from the book was interesting as well.

[@inertiaforce7846]

Who the hell was that woman in the self-destruct room that ran away? What was she doing there and why did she run away and not assist?

[@101Volts]

It's either a result of _not_ communicating discoveries about "the germ" to other floors in the complex, OR: she's afraid and/or dumb. She's gonna be blown up, and she's worried about catching a "space germ?"

[@tperk]

Imagine if they had this much suspense in the Resident Evil scene where the defense mechanism slices the guy to ribbons

Kate Reid was my favourite actor, in this movie.

[@DylansPen]

I think the director of this was also the director for The Thing 1951.

[@ofotopedro]

No. Robert Wise came from editor position. He was the editor of "Citizen Kane" and "The Magnificent Ambersons" (both from Orson Welles). Then, Wise directed films like "The Body Snatcher (1945), "The day the Earth stood still", "West Side Story", "The Sound of Music" and "The Sand Peebles". Had quite a resumé.

[@DylansPen]

@@ofotopedro I was probably thinking of The Day The Earth Stood Still another great sci-fi film as was The Body Snatchers. And yes he was a great director.

Andromeda strain The original author and the movie company are planned thieves and criminals. 👎️☹️ The real original work was published in 1964 by Japanese sci-fi writer Sakyo Komatsu. Japanese title:【復活の日 （Resurrection Day）】 English title:【 Virus: The Day of Resurrection 】. A year later, in 1965, a film adaptation and collaboration project was planned in Japan, translated into English and handed over to 20th Century Fox. After that, Michael Crichton, the original author of this movie, who was frequenting Fox at the time,published "The Andromeda Strain" with a similar theme four years later in 1969. Then the movie Andromeda strain was made, surprising the real author Sakyo Komatsu. So the original author and the movie company of Andromeda strain are planned thieves and criminals.
