I’d always liked Ed Harris but his performance in this film solidified his incredible talent to me.

SHOWDOWN 🍿🍿🍿

[@francescareliford3941]

"Nobody's mama is safe around Sean Connery!!!" Or as Goldie Hawn said in the First Wives' Club-"He's 300 years old and he's still a stud!! " You damn right!🤣😂

[@The-Underbaker]

A beautiful 21 year old woman who I worked with back in 2004 said that she wanted to shag Sean Connery instead of any other celebrity. "He's in his 70's?! Plus you'd probably give him a heart attack!" "But he'd go out with a smile on his face..."

@@The-Underbaker 😂 True True!

[@ruimichael18]

One of the best movies ever and the soundtrack too.

Love this movie ❤️

[@PopcornReactions]

GOOD MOVIE

[@robjohnson4592]

Some people consider this a James Bond movie. If you look into the timing, it's right on. This is probably Bay's best flick. Killer reaction!

[@rodgomez4424]

96 had some great movies

[@smokeyverton7981]

I always see Charlie from the Patsy Cline movie when I look at Ed Harris

[@thunderstruck5484]

Great movie, besides John Wayne I don’t think anyone had screen presence like Sean Connery, and you know Nick Cage been great since 83 when he was in Rumble Fish and Valley Girl, fun times back then at the theater, thanks Showdown!

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" "I'll do my best." "Your best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen." "Carla WAS the prom queen." "Really?" "Yeah." Fun Fact: Sir Sean Connery insisted the producers build a cabin for him on Alcatraz, as he didn't want to travel from the mainland to the island every day. He got what he asked for. Stunt Panic Fact: The scene in which FBI Director Womack (John Spencer) is thrown off the balcony was filmed on-location at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, California. The filming led to numerous calls to the hotel by people who saw a man dangling from the balcony. Bond Connection Fact: In the scene in the interrogation room where FBI agent Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) introduces himself to John Mason (Sir Sean Connery), "But of course you are." was John's reply. This was exactly the same line he used when he met Plenty O'Toole (Lena Wood) in the casino scene in the Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever (1971). Historical Fact: Producer Don Simpson was largely responsible for creating the critical General Hummel (Ed Harris) character. Simpson watched a 60 Minutes (1993) segment about the U.S. government's refusal to acknowledge soldiers who had died during covert overseas missions, and later read Colonel David H. Hackworth's memoirs which harshly criticized U.S. planning during the Vietnam War. He combined these elements into Hummel's character. Studio Hacks Fact: There were tensions during shooting between director Michael Bay and Walt Disney Studios executives who were supervising the production. On the commentary track for the Criterion Collection DVD, Bay recalls a time when he was preparing to leave the set for a meeting with the executives and was approached by Sir Sean Connery in golfing attire. Connery, who also produced this movie, asked Bay where he was going, and when Bay explained that he had a meeting with the executives, Connery asked if he could accompany him. Bay complied, and when Bay arrived in the conference room, the executives' jaws dropped when they saw Connery appear behind him. According to Bay, Connery then stood up for him, and insisted that he was doing a good job and should be left alone.

Bokeem Woodbine is not the problem. If you have Tony Todd in your tour than you have problems.

[@Nassuist]

[@TheCashcrue]

I like this movie. Some things are over the top and exaggerated, but I'm just looking for entertainment. I like it.

[@PopcornReactions]

yes

[@chazkramer7420]

Next....Congo!

[@The-Underbaker]

Most actors get better as they go along and learn their craft, but Nic Cage is the exact opposite. With the sheer amount of shit films he's been in over the last decade or so it boggles my brain that: 1. He still gets hired. 2. He wants to keep doing shit films, as he can't be hard up for cash by now!

[@ethanellis6862]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrTeeTee-xg2hc]

😅😅

[@intotheabyss42478]

i think that shower scene was a level in one of the Call of Duty games! they dont make actions movies like this anymore!
