The opening scene in Cliffhanger is kind of disturbing whereas the opening scene in Vertical Limit is absolutely hilarious. 😄

No one: Red Eye: I've been ice climbing for 37 years

I saw Vertical Limit in the theaters when I was a kid. It's one of my guilty pleasures to this day!

1:10 Notice his legs "went" into the rock. LMAO

I’m crying at the leg braking scene. God damn

"The rope breaks...because it had enough of life and it gave up"!! That is the MOST silliest sentence ever written or said out loud! LMAO. I think I rewound that part of the video five times! This was such a train wreck of a movie but I love train wreck movies! Great video as always RedEye!! Thanks from California...

Didn't know you were into climbing. Probably one of my favourite reviews you've done cause of your insight on the subject. Keep it up Redeye!

This movie is ridiculous, but I love it. Great music, some decent drama and tension, plus some over the top action scenes. The jump from one cliff to another is just mind-blowingly silly. He would have broken every bone in his body.

If Redeye Reviews ever held an auction where the winner got to watch a film with him while he commented, I would take a 401K loan to participate.

Best line from any film comes from this movie. "Don't mind her she's French / Canadian, sometimes she's Canadian and can be quite pleasant, today she's obviously French"

Always thought it was odd that Ed Viesturs allowed a fictional character to goad him about the real life deaths of his close friends in at attempt to guilt trip him to help a fictional person.

lol, I saw this in theaters and I thought it was alright. Then again I've never gone climbing.

Dude, no fucking way you just brought this movie back to my mind. Hahaha honestly, I miss old Hollywood

This might be the funniest review yet 😂 The only way this movie could be worse/funnier is if Steven Segal was climbing the mountains.

I had been waiting for this one. I was not disappointed.

I enjoyed this movie as a unrealistic action thriller but I had no idea it had this many flaws lol, props to you for climbing you mad hatter! 🤟

Your grievance towards this movie as a climber is the same I have as a fencer watching people just swinging their swords....!

I know the criticism, but it's my number 1 go-to movie. It's a beautiful story, so many layers of character conflict, the landscape, and the score. I love the cast, as one is Bill Paxton (RIP) anyways. I'm glad my old school friend dragged me into the theatres to see it when we were kids. This movie made me want to learn more about the history of mountaineering.

Please don’t ever stop making videos. You’ve brought me hours of joy!

loved the super expensive scene where he slides down and barely hung on to his pickaxe just to die a minute later

Haha. I just recently watched this again for the first time in 15 years. I saw this in theaters and at the time I was so scary, it made my even more terrified of heights haha.

I had the same Glacier Glasses Robin Tuney has... lasted 18 years... now I have the Julbo Cham Polarized... love them. I like how Scott Glen just lives on K2... WTF does he eat? I also love how everyone on K2 (which is slightly shorter than Everest, and more remote) isn't wearing down suits. Instead, they're dressed like they're climbing Rainier in the summer. (I miss Seattle). The Chris O'Neill jump is hilarious, it might as well been a Trebuchet launching him into a cliff of jagged rock.

I feel bad for dudes friend that broke his leg. That looked rough.

Seen it recently, I was laughing my ass off by the sheer ridiculousness of plot conveniences!

Love your reviews dude, keep them coming Thanks man

Always look forward to your reviews. Has been years since I have seen vertical limit. Just rented it, so I could watch it before the review. I will send you the rental bill!

Your review was pretty entertaining. You definitely deserve more subscribers and views!

Everything you said was right on point, specially the 1 dollar canister for such a dangerous chemical😂

Extracts possibly every litre of a humans blood supply, Attaches a flare, and sets it off as a giant bloody signal.. yet later can only write the word 'bang' 🤣🤣 Went from Jason Bourne to Die Hard real quick!

One of my favorite movies as a kid.

Bill Paxton rules! Do True Lies sometime, my favorite scene of his is the begging to Arnold scene in that movie

Most entertaining video I’ve seen in a long time. Well done sir

I totally forgot about this movie! Yet again red eye coming through with a banger for the morning

This is one of my favorite movies. The score was phenomenal. Your take on almost every scene was hilarious. Good job but please leave my favorite movies alone. Next do Night of the Comet. 😂 And p.s. The scene where Peter's assistant falls is crucial to the plot. The way that guy breaks his leg in multiple places plus dislocates his hip as he falls means he needs immediate surgery which forces them to hitch a ride on the military chopper to the military hospital which then pitstops to K2 basecamp to drop off medical supplies which leads Peter to Annie. This is how Peter ends up there. Otherwise he would have been nowhere near Annie or that rescue. The broken leg victim is the conduit. You can thank me later.

I always figured climbers had to have a bit of a suicidal streak, but these guys just voluntarily off themselves at the drop of a hat.

Just saying thank you before I watch this because I always enjoy your videos 😘

@7:20 that fake heavy breathing clip was hilarious. Great catch

Did you ever see the movie “K2” with Michael Biehn? It’s been a long time for me and I’m not a climber myself, but I was just wondering whether it was as riddled with inaccuracies. I remember liking it at the time.

When we saw this movie we was amazed, thanks for this video. Even that time I thought that he father character was Killed unnecessarily

I asked… you fulfilled… and you did not disappoint!! Thank you for today’s laughs

This movie is why I tried to convince my father to take me climbing.

Best commentary from Redeye! Gold.

Quick note - the mountain they filmed the Himalayan climbing scenes was actually Mt Aoraki/Mt Cook in the South Island in New Zealand. Also the director was a New Zealander - hence why Tem Morrison was in it at the start (Speed 2 and Once were warriors)

My god i didn't think it was this funny. Bro, keep making these. Makes my days and weeks so much better.

brilliant work as usual my duuude!

So... the magic vampire nitroglycerin that somehow looks like antifreeze can create a fireball the size of a building. Okay then. 👍🏾

You made it through this bro, proud of ya

Never waited in line for a new iPhone, you probably would’ve eaten somebody. Man that shit made me laugh. You funny bro.

I was happy to see you did this movie after you mentioned your climbing experience in the Cliffhanger episode.

So many reasons why this is a guilty pleasure and you nailed most of them. Hahahaha. Well done. Come on man. Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man awaits!

That is hilarious! Subbed! 😂😂😂

I don't care if this movie is bad, I just love it. I saw it in theaters when I was 5 because my father wanted to see it. This movie singlehandedly made me want to pursue a career in photography and later on in filmmaking. But also made me wanna climb mountains. And I have done all 3 at one point in my life. I can see over it's many flaws because of how made me feel when I was a little boy, it was just a blast. People like to shit on it because of it's silliness, but I thank this movie for many things I am today. I will always defend it not as an amazing peace of cinema, not as a great example of mountaineering, but as a "fantasy" light-hearted, and fun piece of entertainment. It will always be one of my favorite movies ever, no matter how goofy people say it is. I'm not cynical, nor hypocrite, I sincerely say it, I love this movie. And no, it is not a guilty pleasure to me, I don't hide saying that I care for a great plot or grounded reality, that's BS, movies are also meant to be fun and escape reality every once in a while. And this movie does it for me, everytime I watch it, it make me feel like a kid again, believing everything is possible. I did mountaineering thanks to this movie. I became a photographer thanks to Chris O'Donell's character. I pursue filmmaking because this made me discover a whole world that involves making a movie because it made me curious of how they did somethings. I mean Martin Campbell is responsible for GOLDENEYE, CASINO ROYALE, THE MASK OF ZORRO.... I dare anyone to say those are terrible films. This man made with VERTICAL LIMIT a fun, enjoyable, action-adventure film. You say it's ridiculous and all of you compare it with CLIFFHANGER... but what about: THE EIGER SANCTION? Just wondering...

Wow I loved this movie as a kid growing up, I had no idea every other person on the planet shat all over it 🤣

I laughed like a maniac, this review is nuts :)) I saw this movie somewhere in the 2000s (I like it back then) but watching it now… well is ridiculous as hell.

I keep trying to put this channel on to fall asleep to but I end up laughing too much.

"It's Bill Paxton. We all love Bill Paxton." That is true!

13:25 Michael Bay presents: Mountain Climbing!!!

It was quite fun hearing some personal experience in this.

I got to say this is become one of my favorite channels. Your videos seem professionally done which isn't always the case with KZfaqrs who review movies, you also have a good sense of humor and it's kind of nice to revisit some of these movies without actually having to watch the whole movie. When I was a kid I never watched Beastmaster and I always wanted to see it because I had friends who loved it. Years later when I was an adult I came across and tried to watch it and realized it was the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. Not the kind of thing I would ever rewatch on my own. I can watch a humorous 20 minutes video that Recaps the most notable parts. It's the way I feel about almost every John Claude Van Damme movie or Steven Seagal movie. Though I could watch time cop or under siege again to this day but I'm not sure if there's too many more movies than either their libraries that I would want to rewatch now. But watching a 20 minute video about the movie Bloodsport or above the law is quite doable and I still get to have some nostalgia

i can't believe i saw this crap when it came out. had lots of laughs, thank you

Fine, fine sir. You know climbing, I know guns.

Jeez!! Ur knowledge is second to none. Impressive.

I enjoyed watching this video and I'm going to leave a comment. Hooray KZfaq algorithm!

Ahh Hollywood and the cold. I live in Canada, and Ive been outside in -40 tons, and sometimes just quick to grab something with no head gear. It hurts right away, burns. Any skin exposed, but in Hollywood, everything is just A-ok

Amazing. You made me laugh so fricken hard.

I don't think I would have watched past the random party at Basecamp. You my friend, you're a true hero.

I served Bill Paxton popcorn once. What a lovely smile.

Speaking of climbing, I watched a doc with Nirmal Purja climbing all 14 8000 meter peaks in 6 months, absolutely crazy.

This is fantastic haha I’ve always loved how they treat K2 base camp. Like it’s not a grueling +90km hike from Pakistan hahaha

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man is an awesome movie! Right up there with Tango and Cash! I hope you do a review of that movie some day.

Raising Arizona with the great Nick Cage would be awesome to see you review.

i remember almost dying watching that movie, i laughed so hard i got stomach cramps, my eyes dripping, literally rolling around on the floor. good times.

Hey I see that ur subscribers and views are going up. Congrats sir

🤣 Pure Gold 🙌🏼

Commentary is hilarious. Literally everyone dies and it’s supposedly a happy ending 😂

Lol you explain this movie great. This was funny as hell

I remember seeing this in theaters when I was like 11.

This seems HILARIOUS.

What's so hard to believe? That opening scene could be any Saturday at Owen's River Gorge. 40+ people die there every weekend.

I was expecting Redeye to Nick Cage scream the whole video to be honest lol. Good job with restraint! So Cliffhanger was the more realistic movie? Never would've thought! 🤣 Please tell me we have more climbing movies in the future 🙏

Another movie Red Eye covered that I completely forgot about . Sad to say I watched this in the theater when in came out . It was so bad my memory erased it . I also like when it comes to any movie he reviews with anything to do with climbing he explains to people that don't climb ( you no sane people with better thing's to do ) stuff like we know what the hell he's talking about .

800 of his soldiers have died or medically evacuated in 6 years? Every 3 days he's losing someone solely to the elements? The body count for the entire movie is basically what he loses every month at his base camp. That seems...excessive. Also, I guess you can throw Chris O'Donnell into the Josh Hartnett/Taylor Kitsch "We can make anyone a movie star" pile.

I don't know jack about climbing, but I know I enjoy the hell out of this flick lol.

So glad you did this lol

After a near tragic accident with an ax and my barefoot, I have been laid up. Good time to catch up on some red-eye reviews! Thanks for keeping me entertained

3:39 I hope the mannequin wasn't too badly injured by that fall from about ten feet

You did it and it was glorious! Lmao!

This make me feel so justified in having avoided this movie for so many years. And I love you being able to leverage your RL knowledge of climbing into one of your reviews. :-). I bet this is one movie Martin Campbell leaves off his resume...

The breathing scene just killed me

Maybe if the nitroglicerine falling more, it explodes bigger... I think I've seen this movie, but I don't remember, did they say why they store the nitroglicerine in these super storages and not in much more safe and easily transportable dynamite form like everyone else on this planet since Alfred Nobel invented it?

Every mountain/rock climbing movie ever: "Let's open with a scene where everything is going alrighty, and and then just arbitrarily make everything go instantly and horrendously wrong..."

Taking the time to blow a whistle when all heck is breaking loose is insane.

Isn't there a scene in a helicopter, where one of the climbers is stretching and someone asks what he's doing, to which he replies "trying to kiss my ass goodbye" ?

Bubba Fett is in this plus Jango Fett too Plus all the Clone Troopers lol 😂

Someday I hope you do 1987's Blood moon. Good fights. Horrible acting. Killer with metal fingers and a magician cop. So much material

👍👏😂 I’m down for another vid, same movie! lol

I cant believe ol' Bill Paxton ate a protein bar with the wrapper on it. Like I expect him to not be a very good climber, because he's an actor, but surely actors have eaten protein bars and understand wrappers. That's a hilarious catch.

As a kid, this was the most intense movie ever. Looks like it hasn't aged particularly well. 🤣

This review is hilarious 😊

Saw this in theaters never saw it again but I do remember it being entertaining lol
