David Morse and Ed Harris are an incredible team. You really buy that they've known each other for decades.

[@catenystrom6506]

Love this movie. You need to see Raising Arizona, it's unique, it's hilarious and it's one of Cage's BEST films.

[@dallasyap3064]

This is one of the best action films ever in my opinion. It's got a great story ploy, actors got great relationship (especially Connery and Cage), amazing acting (like Hummel and Anderson shouting at each other intensely back and forth), great action scenes (especially the opening scene when the Force Recons penetrated the weapons depot), and most of all a very sympathetic (or for some veterans empathetic) villain that makes the audience feels that he isn't a villain. And of course the killer soundtrack that really suits well for the main theme of this film; betrayal. Not sure if it's true or not, but I remember reading somewhere that the general plot of this movie (the betrayal and mistreatment of vets and their families like no recognition, no compensation, all forms of benefits denied etc) had a little truth in real life.

[@Richie8406]

24:43 This is the man you follow

[@horsepower523]

I just realized that Sean Connery's character Mason made the worst possible gift to Stanley Goodspeed when he gave him the film roll with all the US government's dirtiest secrets. They would put Stanley and his wife in prison just like they did with Mason because of their knowledge of all that highly classified information.

[@Richie8406]

16:00 It is not about the money bro. If they pay them, next week there is another. Next month another, next year even bigger...

[@davidmunro546]

Entrapment is another good movie with an older Sean Connery in it. I had a quick look and can’t see any results for it on KZbin.

[@natetr1p]

Hey you guys. Great reaction as usual. I am ex combat arms military and they do deserve the money. The issue is that we don't negotiate with terrorists. If you give in to hostages today, you will have 100 more terrorists tomorrow. Also, if that was SEAL Team Six, it would have been a short movie.

[@bkeyser]

Actually, you can hold someone without trial, apparently. We're doing quite a bit of that today.

[@Richie8406]

16:25 No, you are wrong. You seem young and ill-traversed, let's say. The world is not America. You don't negotiate with terrorists. This film does give us a heart for the antagonist. General Francis X. Hummel. One of the best villains of all time, because he is not evil. An action film in the 90's with Bond in America, with a great villain. Of course peps love this film

[@ironhide238]

Honest! $100 million was more in the '90s than it is now. But it's about the principle that if you pay a ransom to a terrorist organization. others could come and ask for money because you know the government is paying. I love Michael Bay! He's a great popcorn director!

[@johnyd1911]

It's like they never heard of not negotiating with terrorists before in any movie, which has been a staple in them forever....

[@ravenzyblack]

Well considering the money is from illegal arms trading WITH foreign terrorists nobody would know. It doesn’t exist because Congress doesn’t know about it. The reason they wouldn’t negotiate is because the government would have to admit that they let soldiers die for nothing. That they, the government fucked up.

[@carladavis1473]

Right!, never negotiate with terrorists. Sidebote: I use to be a corrections officer and we had to sign a form agreeing that if there was ever an uprise by the inmates and we were taken hostage that under no circumstances would they ever pay money or ever agree to release a prisoner to save our lives. Basically, we would die. The main reason is, if they did it once, then it would set a precedent and weaken the entire pineal system, knowing they could gain power and control by killing or threatening to kill an officer. You know I really enjoy this channel aa well as a few other reaction channel but it has become abundantly clear that there is a huge lack of understanding of the real world works and why. Their saying he's a good man and he just killed a bunch of American soldiers that he claimed to love and represent. Or and I forgot about the innocent American civilians.

[@Emperor_of_Sword]

Really?!..A forgotten and trampled honor doesn't cost $100 million within the country?!And this not from budget!!.. The main terrorist are politicians!!!

[@cheebees]

But i'm sure the bad guys wouldn't keep doing it. Cheap white guys, amirite?

[@shainewhite2781]

YES!! One of my favorite action movies as a kid! There were talks of a Sequel, but it was cancelled as Sean Connery, RIP, retired from acting, Nicolas Cage was too busy working on the National Treasure movies and Michael Bay was too busy working on The Island, BAD BOYS 2, and TRANSFORMERS.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

Apparently Connery's experience filming "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" was so bad, he refused to act full-time anymore. I've always held a minor grudge against the director Stephen Norrington because of that, although truth be told, Connery was probably on his way out anyway.

[@IN-tm8mw]

This film is such an adrenaline rush. Watched it countless times because it did everything right with a action movie blockbuster. Same feeling i have when i rewatch a Diehard film.

[@gregorygant4242]

That part at the start in the gas chamber was the most scary to me , all that tension , and telling him to put that big as! needle into his heart , yikes, double yikes !!!! I hate needles and any medical procedures they freak me out totally !!

If you fancy yourself a journey of Sean Connery begin with the early James Bond movies, The Presidio and end with his Oscar winning performance in 'The Untouchables' .

[@moondog3056]

Take a shot everytime they say 100 million dollars and you'll be passed out in no time. Paying terrorists is always such a good idea

[@boomerotic2498]

Cut out one of the best lines of the movie. -"you're best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and f*ck the prom queen." -'Carla was the prom queen"

[@nickc9375]

The scariest aspect of this movie is that VX isn't fiction.

[@Wuffskers]

I see lots of people not understand why they don't pay the ransom. If they just pay it essentially signals to everyone "hey if you can come up with a good enough hostage situation, you can milk a lot of money out of the government because they will pay" and invites more hostage situations like this. Better to do as much as you can without paying, to send the message that this will not work out for anyone thinking of trying to do the same, rather than risk more people endangering innocents because you rolled over and gave the terrorists what they want to take the easy way out in the short term. Of course that has nothing to do with whether the terrorists might be kind of right, in this case it was very arguably a righteous cause but regardless of the cause and them paying being probably the right thing to do it will still essentially show that all you need is enough leverage to get the government to make you rich.

[@Proteus2905]

General Hummel was a good man with an honorable cause. But he made two grave mistakes, One: On a mission like that you need a crew you can completely trust but in addition to his long time team he brought other marines with whom he worked for the first time. Two: If you expect your men to show unwavering loyalty, trust, and sacrifice, then you must inform them of all aspects of the operation and hide nothing from them. Hummel knew that even this "small" amount of only one hundred million would probably not be paid, since it would have fatal consequences for an incumbent government to negotiate with terrorists.

[@sugarbomb1346]

Steph looks so good with little to no makeup ❤

[@Col_Fragg]

I think the major reason for "The Rock" being so good is a long pre-production period which gave the actors a lot of time for rehearsal and time to perfect the script with input from the actors. It was Nicolas Cage's idea that Stanley Goodspeed doesn't swear. That's why we get so many creative expletives from Goodspeed.

[@josua1146]

A great reaction to a terrific movie, I also think it's nice that you're going through this genre in particular, which I already really enjoyed with "First Blood" (1982), while "The Rock" (1996) is one of my absolute favorites from Nicolas Cage, along with "Face Off" and "Con Air" (1997), which I hope we'll see more of here in the future.

[@lonnieeastin6401]

I kind of agree. "Why don't you just pay them?" The US government loses 100 Million dollars if somebody puts a comma in the wrong place. I guess the problem is, if you pay them off, what happens the next time someone takes hostages and asks for 100 million dollars?

[@nicholasgarratt5646]

One of the best action films. More Connery films worth watching - Untouchables, Highlander, Hunt for Red October and obviously any of his Bond films. Nic cage worth watching - Con Air (always seem to be partnered with The Rock when on TV), National Treasure 1 and 2, Gone in 60 seconds, Next.

[@Vulcanerd]

Steph getting stressed out and peeking out from behind her fingers is the most adorable thing. Thanks for this reaction, guys.

[@jamesmorehouse9896]

Funny that you mention LotR. Connery was up for Gandalf, but turned it down “because he didn’t understand it”. I love the fan theory that he is still Bond in this film

[@Kasino80]

And seeing McKellan's take, Connery wouldn't have done it justice anyway.

[@revengeneutral8164]

I'm more and more convinced with every watch that Sean Connery is in fact playing a disavowed James Bond in this.

[@tomasbiela5860]

For the most part the US does not negotiate with terrorists including domestic which is why they didn't want to pay the money.

[@muchpeacemuchlove]

I've seen this a gazillion times and I was really watching you guys react and I was still anxious - something about this film, the mix of music and camera angles gives me knots in my stomach every single time - especially when you see those friggin' green balls - Steph, when you get angry, you get this beautiful smolder and glow and you get those dagger eyes that could kill😂🥰

[@702tattooer]

The rock, con air, and face/off... the 3 best things from my childhood and all Nick cage haha

[@gog583]

A Cage movie I really like is "Matchstick Men". He plays a con man w/OCD. "Valley Girl" (Cage's first starring role I believe) is a fun watch as well......but probably not for everyone

[@eatsmylifeYT]

You should watch Connery's best film, "Zardoz".

[@kamomo9147]

Great action film, love your reactions .. look forward to watching your reactions on the next action film.

[@willparks3429]

In the sequel somebody places bombs inside Dwayne the rock Johnson so Nicholas Cage must shrink himself down and break into the Rock again to stop all the terrorists from setting of the bombs and killing the Rock

[@RaymondXperia]

Coming back to this channel more due to Steph's and Andrew's excellent choice of movies to react to.

[@geraldkramer267]

fun fact: Steph mentions Connery looking like Gandolf (Lord of the Rings). Connery was actually offered the role of Gandolf because Peter Jackson, Director, thought the movie would bomb without a name star. Jackson offered Connery 15% of the gross, a deal virtually unheard of in Hollywood. Connery turned the role down because he didn't understand the script for the movie. Instead he did "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen". LOTR grossed $3 billion for the trilogy, which meant Connery gave up a $450 million payday. Connery said it was the stupidest choice he ever made.

[@knowthispodcast9182]

Apparently, according to Michael Bay on the citation edition via laser disc They said that there was a bunch more scenes with Ed Harris's Francis X. Hummel that were left on the cutting room floor and that the original version of the rock was close to about 3 1/2 hours. Scenes that were cut and left on the floor. 1. Major Baxter (David Morse) in dress blues meeting Hummel at his wife's grave discussing, if this is the only option. 2. Capt. Fry and Darrow (Gregory Sporlider and Tony Todd) talking about what they would do with $1 million while standing post in the lighthouse also poking fun at Hummel. Also discussing that they should execute one of the hostages. (This scene was cut because it gave away who they are too early in the film as the real antagonists) 3. Major Baxter (David Morse) Was originally shot in the cheek, head and in the throat by Capt. Darrows return fire, but the scene was re-shot to get a R rating by the MPAA. The rock originally got an NC-17 rating 4. Hummel (Ed Harris) Stands over Commander Anderson's (Michael Biehn) body and looks saddened mutters the word "I'm sorry son" as he closes (Biehns) dead eyes for whatever reason that scene was cut, and the other one stayed 5. Hummel (Ed Harris) Baxter (David Morse) talk about evacuating and how But it showed that

[@jeanine6328]

Keep in mind, Sean Connery was James Bond before all the others. they locked him up at Alcatraz, that’s why we got Roger Moore. I just love this movie. Nick Cage is awesome in it. Thanks for what ya do. May your views and likes always be equal.

[@maverick2242]

Great reactions again. Steph is right Sean Connery is the goat, if you haven't must watch Highlander! Of course James Bond, his Bond movies are iconic. cheers guys

[@ChaosInFlux]

TIn regards to them not paying the bad guys. As a rule, the US does not negotiate with terrorists.

[@Jonathanrodrigob127]

One of my top favorite Nicholas cage movies, along with con air, face/off and lord of wars, it's the only Michael bay's films received successful by critic's and also my favorite michael bay film's. And also sean connery's one of finest bond modes in this movie before retirement. Great for 4th of july watch. All the actors ate amazing

[@CHRISPYakaKON]

Where’s The Rock at?

[@bigsarge8795]

"The Rock" is the nickname for Alcatraz prison in San Francisco. It's in the middle of the Bay, so that's why it's called the rock.

[@IronCardinal181]

I don’t understand how people don’t understand that the US has a policy to not negotiate with terrorist

[@cgmason7568]

The U.S. negotiates with terrorists all the time

[@saitopickles7075]

OK.. I have seen quite a few reactions to this movie.. I hear "just pay the 100mil", NO, it doesn't work that way. As a veteran, TRUST ME, I get it. BUT the minute he threatened the lives of US Citizens, they became domestic terrorists, it's not about his cause anymore. You pay one group, then it gives cause for other groups to do the same. At that time, that amount was not a drop in the bucket. We get crap gov't benefits and assistance (biz/corp benefits mean a lot to us and help), but no one cares until it affects them, let's be real.

[@Jigsaw407]

One of the best action movies ever made. Near perfect. Sean Connery was the coolest guy. And now watch Con Air please! It's just as awesome!

[@GuardianOwl]

Whether true or not in reality, the common trope of the mid 90's action flick is: "The United States Government does not negotiate with terrorists." It was such a pervasive action movie trope at the time that the script writer did not even feel the need to mention it, it would just be understood by the audience of the time that paying the money is not an option.

[@PorterJustPorter]

Yep, the trope was pretty ubiquitous for the time. I recall at the time even thinking it was pretty dumb in the context of this film, considering we're told that a government "illegal slush fund" already exists. They could've averted this whole mess by merely transferring funds from one illegal Account to another. Lol

[@ritzmarcos7733]

I am baffled you guys havent watched it when you were kids. One of the best memory of my childhood. Good reaction better late than never.

[@BusterKay916]

"You're being asked by an old friend." "You're now being ordered by a superior officer." "Now you're given your last chance by a man with a GUN! Put the phone down!" Such a tense moment of extreme escalation within seconds & one of my favorite line deliveries in the movie

[@zulawoo]

[@nathancline4000]

The big fan theory is that Connery's story lines up with the last time he portrayed James Bond.

[@Richie8406]

30:48 This film was during Clinton, the Bush comment got me. This is not a political film man

[@soulstealer82]

i was in San Francisco during the filming of the Hummer/Ferrari chase scene . i got to see nic cage

[@7woundsfist]

So, fun fact. Even Sean Connery entertained the idea that Mason was actually James Bond.

[@codyprice2616]

Funny you should mention Sean Connery having the most iconic voice, one of his best performances is actually being a voice actor for a CGI character in a live-action action dramedy Fantasy film. The film is called Dragonheart. He plays a dragon named Draco. Great cast too. Dennis Quaid, Pete Postelwaite, David Thewlis, Jason Isaacs, Julie Christie, and Sean of course. Film is a roller coaster of emotions, but a very fun film. Just a warning bring the Kleenex’s you will need them throughout the film.

[@nrgmanifest]

One of my favs glad yall liked it...btw i think yall would love both action films A Long Kiss Goodnight ft. Samuel L Jackson and The Last Boy Scout ft Bruce Willis. And if Nic Cage is still on the brain then Con Air is a must if yall havent seen it yet

[@thomaseggle8886]

Funny how she made a white person joke about wanting to get locked up as a tourist..yet the very next scene a black guy yells "WHAT KIND OF F'ED UP TOUR IS THIS!!". followed by a black woman yelling at the ranger for not having a gun and if she knew that she would have brought her mother f'ing gun...(paraphrase). I don't whats more hilarious....the scene or the tripping over her comment...remember... Assumption is the mother of all F ups. By the way...the comment didn't bother me in any way....as she was more or less right...I just found the situation funny as hell...and that was one of the funniest scenes they skipped over.

[@thechad4485]

The heartbreaking part of the plot of the movie is that soldiers really aren’t taken care of in reality. The insurance that soldiers are offered and often take is absolute garbage, and often come back from war in a condition that makes them uninsurable by any other company, so they end up completely broke, and their families aren’t taken care of. So many of our vets end up homeless, and are forced to turn to drugs and alcohol as a means to cope with physical pain or psychological trauma because they can’t afford treatment or medication. Their addictions end up destroying what little they have left until they’re wandering the streets at night screaming at invisible hallucinations, with nothing left in their life to live for. It’s criminal.

[@rja8907]

It's funny that they get there start on KZbin cut reactions for Patron. Smart way to watch something decent without greed like OF ect.. But Wow !

So yeah they probably could have just given them the money but sadly that would just start a chain of this incident repeating itself over and over again. Either the greedy ones on the team who were in it for the money will just do it or word will get out that the government caved and other groups will keep doing it. Yeah it does suck horribly for the hostages but from a logical and long term view just giving them the money is the wrong move.
