Welcome back to Movie Monday~! Hope you all are well. I really really really enjoyed this movie !

It's hard to find a better action movie out there. Stakes are through the roof, characters are believable throughout, twists and turns galore...just the best.

I love how Sam Neill's character's last words are "I would have loved to have seen Montana" and this characters first scene Jurassic Park is in Montana.

The transition from Russian and English near the beginning is so good.

Another submarine movie I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND would be DAS BOOT, The film is about a German U-Boat during the early years of the Second world War in the Atlantic, it is highly regarded as the most realistic submarine film. Also my great grandfather was a machinist mate on a diesel sub in the pacific during ww2. He passed away in 2012.

if you really want to get a real feel about how tight submarines, especially during WWII, watch Das Boot. It's an amazing movie.

You crack me up, Imon. :) This is my very first time watching one of your reactions, and it was a good job - you may have waxed a bit long in the beginning, but I appreciated it because it was a window to get to know you and figure out a little about you. If you dig submarine movies, you should also check out Crimson Tide. You will love the interplay of the characters in that one - enough said.

Imon, I just wanna say I appreciate the fact that you don’t feel the need to talk just to talk during your reactions!! So please don’t feel weird about just watching and commenting when you have something substantial to say! Thank you! Love ALL of your reactions! I’ve watched ALL of your Outlander reactions!!! Absolutely LOVE them! Thank you for all the work you put into these and the sacrifice I’m sure it must take! Much love from Kentucky!!!

Great reaction! It was a lot of fun watching you fangirling over Sean Connery lol. You followed the movie pretty well, most people require multiple viewings to get it all (it took me at least 3 viewings to get it myself). A somewhat obscure but great movie starring Sean Connery is Outland (1981), highly recommended.

Also another amazing submarine film is "Crimson tide" with denzel washington

Don't forget that the Cook was working with a different set of information than the audience. Based upon what he saw, the Captain taking the other missile key, he might have quite reasonably believed that the Captain had indeed gone rogue. The Cook might well have believed that his actions would prevent a nuclear war.

Fantastic reaction. If you want another great Sean Connery movie which isn't Bond . . ..you *must* do "The Man Who Would Be King". Not only do you get peak Connery you get peak Michael Caine too. Both of them describe it as the best film they ever made.

Im a Navy veteran but all surface ships. I have mad respect for bubble heads (slang term for sub duty Navy vets) they are very mentally strong and no BS type of people, because they have to be damn near perfect.

One of my top five movies ever. It's the ultimate dad movie. Middle aged guys like myself love this freaking thing, it's so epic with the insane soundtrack and so much technical stuff, and cold war intrigue. Love it.

You'd probably really like all the "Jack Ryan" movies based on Tom Clancy's books. This was just the first of them, and the only one where Alec Baldwin played Ryan. The next was Patriot Games with Harrison Ford vs terrorist (baby) Sean Bean from Game of Thones and Lord of the Rings, then came Clear and Present Danger. And then there is a whole Amazon series about Jack Ryan, played by John Krasinski.

Crimson Tide and Das Boot(directors cut) must be next!

I got another military movie for you to react to. It's one of my favorites. The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz.

31:22 love that she's talking about Quintus. He plays cook's assistant Loganov!

Very, very cool! I was among those who suggested this film in your Last Crusade reaction, and I have toured that sub in Portland! I agree with you completely: it sounded like a waking nightmare to live on one of those. I’ll just watch from a distance in an open space, thanks!

First of all, you are a breath of fresh air! Seems like everyone in today's world is so eager to pass judgement on others and label a person as "evil", "bad", etc. Humans are complex beings and nobody is perfect. As you stated...a lot of the way people are comes from their upbringing. That can be a very tough thing to change. I've heard so many people say, "I'm not going to ever watch a certain actors movies/TV again because of what they've done." Well that's not all of who they are. You can still enjoy an actor's performance without approving of their words or actions in real life. Secondly, it's ironic that you bring up the character in Gladiator who betrayed Maximus and then helped him in the end. That same actor played the cook/saboteur in this movie! Hunt For Red October is one of my favorite movies, so thank you for reacting to it. I'd like to suggest Crimson Tide next. Another great submarine movie with lots of tension!

So fun watching people who don't already know that he's defecting, so the "maybe he's trying to launch the missiles" is so much more impactful as a possibility.

On the Sean Connery thing, yeah I’m with you. We all live to regret our former selves if we’re lucky enough to grow old. Everyone has things they wish he hadn’t done when they were younger. Especially the people who are SO QUICK to judge others. Great comments on your part and I’m in complete agreement with you. Rock on!

58:18 I think the letter was because Ramius knew he needed the Russians to do something crazy in order to get the attention of the Americans. As the carrier captain said, it's not like he can just said up and say "hi".

Movie like this: Crimson Tide. It's the most "movie like this" a movie has ever been in the history of "movies like this."

If Tim Curry scares you Imon, you need more fun Tim Curry in your life. Try Clue. It's pretty beloved by those who know! Or... you need to discover Tim's sexy side 😳 Try Rocky Horror Picture Show and Ridley Scott's Legend.

Wow what a great reaction, you are the 1st girl I seen that understands this movie. You are super smart 😊😊😊😊😊

I love this movie because it's shows everybody is smart and knows what they're doing

Sean Connery suggestion: Highlander (1986).

Hey glad you got into this movie. It was my Dads favorite movie so I have that connection to it but I also ended going on to serve 10 years in the submarine service, 6 of which were on a nuclear fast attack submarine, the USS Louisville (now decommissioned). I think the longest we were out for was 2 and 1/2 months. This movie is one of the best submarine movies out around, Das Boot being number 1. It is definitely a hard life and something I am glad I did but would never do again. I was always glad I am a short dude while I was onboard one of those tiny pieces of shit lol.

43:24 I love how often people get so caught up in the movie that they have this reaction on seeing Tupalov again.

You are now on the path towards the submarine film trilogy. You must at some point in time watch Crimson Tide, and then Das Boot.

5:18 Sean Connery’s statement was in regard to handling out of control people. When asked if he ever applied that to his wife he told the interviewer “My wife never gave me a reason to do so.”

See it, what?!?!?!?! They're in a submarine. There are no windows!!

Probably the best RV I've seen to "Hunt for Red October". Lovd it!

The German Movie Das Boot 1981( Directors Cut) is one of the best submarine movies..best with German audio with subtitles..

Such a genuine reaction. I really enjoyed experiencing the film with you.

Of all the Jack Ryan incarnations we've seen over the years, I think this is the best. Instead of making him an action hero, he's more an intellectual and a "fish out of water" who gets sent out into the field reluctantly and has to actually convince people he knows what he's doing.

Love the video Imon Nation stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

Another Sean Connery movie which I really like is The Rock. The Clancy movies starting Harrison Ford (Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger) are also really good.

The Hunt for Red October is not based on a true story, but it came out shortly after the Berlin Wall fell and the studio wasn't sure if the movie would play well because Russia was no longer "The Enemy" so the text at the beginning is a way to place it before the fall of the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War. As a Gen X kid, I dunno if later generations really grok what it was like growing up convinced that the odds were pretty good that we would all die from nuclear war before we were adults. That sense of inevitable doom really amps up the beginning of the movie when you aren't sure if Ramius is defecting or launching a first strike. The USS Dallas breaching out of the water while escaping the Russian torpedo is a real shot of a real submarine (the USS Houston) performing the maneuver. The underwater shots are all miniatures in a smoke tank. Tom Clancy is credited as popularizing the "techno-thriller" sub-genre in novels. This novel was a huge hit, too. Other great techno-thriller movies would include War Games (1983), Sneakers (1992), The Manhattan Project (1986), The China Syndrome (1979), and Blue Thunder (1983). Other movies that are more spy-thriller than techno-thriller you might enjoy would be films like Tinker Tailor Solider Spy (2011), Syriana (2005), Three Days of the Condor (1975), No Way Out (1985), and The Manchurian Candidate (1962).

When you think about how small a sub is, keep in mind what the WW2 subs were like. Way smaller, and the canned foods would be arranged on the deck, forming what amounts to a new floor the crew had to eat their way through to regain the limited headroom they had normally.

Whoa, great reaction and commentary! My fav movie and you have earned a new subscriber.

Time to binge all the sean Connery bond films

im also phobic of clauster

"This movie's so good because it makes you question everyone and distrust everybody" lol that sounds evil. That bit with the torpedo and trying to figure out the culprit reminds me of the jet scene in Patlabor 2. It's a really cool scene if you're interested in the facts and figures, military lingo, calculating risks type stuff you mentioned during some scenes here. It's also pretty damn realistic which only makes it super intense when you realize how believable some of this stuff is.

Fantastic video, Imon. I love the circuitous route your digressions take before a reaction and hearing a woman's perspective as well as a mother's perspective. You're not the first to watch an action movie or thriller and wish characters could just stop all this fighting and resolve their differences through dialogue and that does happen more often than not between nuclear armed powers, otherwise, none of us would be here. It's kind of ironic you took your son to tour a submarine before you watched this. I went to see _The Hunt for Red October_ in theaters with my mom shortly before my 17th birthday in February 1990. The screening was completely sold out, a phenomenon that a lot of people may never experience again. I remember we were sitting so close to the screen that a vision impaired if not blind man was sitting next to us.

44:24 "It Missed?" No, it hit, but because the Red October turned into the torpedo's path before it armed itself, the torpedo broke apart

You got my subscription just from your opening monologue. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air and sanity in our current society where so many people are ready to throw stones at others while being oblivious to their own faults. You are a person who I wish was a friend. Oh! And your beautiful on the outside as well as the inside. That’s a lagniappe I’ll enjoy any day. 😊 By the way, a submarine is not a “ship”. It is a “boat”. And the 2 subs portrayed in the movie are cathedral sized in comparison to a WWII submarine or U-Boat. You want to get an idea about how tight and confining it can be on a sub? Watch “Das Boot”, the greatest submarine/U-Boat movie ever filmed. It truly is a masterpiece.

"I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and liar. When I'm not kissing babies, i'm stealing their lollipops." - best line

26:05, in the Jones later left the Navy to finish his doctorate. He later provides insight that prevents a war.

This movie was my parent's first date. They got ice cream afterwards.

“One. Ping. Only.” … “Bitch, if you so much as …” Lol, that was a great moment. (Also, watch “Crimson Tide”!)

This was my first time watching this as well. Good flick. Thanks for the reaction.

Nice reaction, Imon. I think you might like some other cerebral films like Contact with Jodie Foster, or The Imitation Game with Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley. Twelve Angry Men (1957) is a thoughtful courtroom drama. I find the Truman Show with Jim Carrey to be an intriguing premise. Some other good sub movies are Das Boot and Run Silent, Run Deep.

If you also watch foreign movies I recommend the german Movie „Das Boot ( Directors Cut)“ one of the best submarine movies of all time, Greetings Form Germany, love your reactions

This is one of my favorite movies, I’m so glad you enjoyed its nuance as much as I did! I’m sorry you hated visiting the submarine, but I’m glad you had that context.

I love that you reacted to this film - this is a favorite of mine. Thank you.

45:05 It's ok, he reincarnates and get to dig for dinosaurs in Montana -- then see some in real life.

Your kid sounds like me when I was a boy..... I loved Tom Clancy as a kid. My favorite book from him was Red Storm Rising.

Awesome review! Did i hear correctly! You actually got to go on a sub....so cool!

Funny that you referenced Quintus from Gladiator when talking about who you can trust, since the saboteur is played by the same actor! XD

Stellan Skarsgård played Boris Shcherbina, in the HBO mini-series Chernobyl.

This was a wonderful reaction. Really enjoyed wstching you

Tom Clancy claimed he used only publicly available information in his books. The government had its doubts, and investigated that claim pretty thoroughly before they accepted that it really was public information and his own imagination. I worked with a Navy analyst years ago; he said that if he'd written this stuff, he'd have ended up in jail for sure. One of my favorite performances in the movie is Scott Glenn as captain of the Dallas. He's just the kind of person you'd want in command of a sub: smart, tough, resolute but willing to reconsider when new information or ideas arrive. I believed in him from the beginning. Another film you might enjoy for similar reasons is The Guns of Navarone. It's a WW2 tale of sabotage with a brilliant cast including Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, and David Niven. It's full of action and characters who become more interesting as we get to know them. From the 60s, but it stands up very well.

Great reaction! A couple of details, for the sake of your curiosity. During his conversation with political officer Putin, captain Ramius asks about KGB agents posing as crew members. The book explains clearly that "assistant cook Loginov", the one trying to ignite a missile, is indeed the hidden agent. Also, while Ryan is on the american aircraft carrier we see a sort-of-out-of-place scene where a jet crashes on the flight deck. In the context of the film, the scene seems to make little sense. The book, on the other hand, describes in detail a set of contacts between the Soviet and the American fleets, keeping each other at bay with a set of "exercise" actions. During one such actions one American jet is accidentally hit and it barely makes it back to the carrier. This escalates the already tense situation to almost all out combat. This also explains the American politician's comment to the Russian ambassador about "this is how wars start".

"Doctor Strangelove" is another really good Cold War movie. Kind of like a dark comedy version of this.

Jack Ryan movies are where it's at. For a similar feel I'd recommend Clear and Present Danger (who doesn't love Harrison Ford?) or Sum of All Fears (who doesn't love Ben Affleck?) Several actors have stepped into Ryan's shoes over the years.

A delightful moment in many films: "Oh my God, Tim Curry."

Sean Connery was sea sick the whole time they filmed

Don't feel bad about saluting Russian military. I'm a retired U.S. Army veteran and I can tell you that all services respect each other as warriors because we are in the same business even during war - defending our respective homelands. I love the Russian people, they just have a leader that a lot of people disagree with or don't like - something we in the U.S. can EASILY relate to. We once fought the Nazis together and we share our space industry with them. I was stationed at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) Belgium in 1991 and actually saw the Russians there when the wall came down being welcomed by our commander. It was good to see and know we were not Cold War enemies anymore.

When I first saw this movie (on opening day in 1990!), I also thought the engineer was the saboteur. :)

You won't like this. Dead sailors on subs are stored in the meat freezer. They can't surface to do a burial at sea without risking more crew, since subs are awful in open waters. So, they keep them until they return to port.

He mailed the letter because he was “burning the ships” and there was no turning back

Honestly I like this movie more every time I see it.

A few other Sean Connery movies, besides the early Bond movies which I also recommend. are, Robin and Marian with the late great Audrie Hepburn, it's also the most unique Robin Hood story out there. Finding Forrester is a great movie, that was Director Gus Van Sant's follow up to Good Will Hunting and Connery's last film before making League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I'd also recommend Medicine Man.

48:10 Once launched Mr torpedo is nobody’s friend!

North Sea Hijack 1980 also known as Ffolks is a suspenseful story at sea that might interest you.

A bit different, but the german movie "Das Boot" is another great Submarine-Movie. I think there is an english dub or for the authentic feeling german with english subtitles ;)

Sean Connery has that thirsty effect on everybody, at any age, yours and/or his.

By the way. The cook is the same actor that played Quintus in Gladiator.

I used to live 3/10 of a mile from the max line that would go past OMSI where the SUB is.

Scott Glenn took a ride on a real submarine (USS Salt Lake City SSN716) for his part in this movie. During a interview Scott Glen said he respected the Captain of the Salt Lake City (Captain Tom Fargo) and decide to base his character after Captain Tom Fargo... I served with Captain Tom Fargo and the crew of the Salt Lake City as a Sonar Rider during a West Pac. Captain Tom Fargo is/was the best Submarine Captain the US Navy EVER had... God Bless Admiral Tom Fargo and the crew of the USS Salt Lake City SSN 716. I served in the USMC(R) as a CH-53 A/D Electrician and in the US Navy Submarine Fleet as a Sonar Tech during the Cold War. As far I am concern Submarine Duty was the most dangerous, unforgettable, memorable, and important aspect of the Cold War. During my service there have been fires on other subs while out at sea that cost some of the crew members their lives. Or flooding that the crew had to battle that could of sank the sub while at sea. The Soviet's had numerous casualties' during the Cold War where the entire sub and crew were lost at sea. In the 60's we lost 2 Subs.

Great to hear someone reviewing this movie has also taken the SS Blueback tour at OMSI. The history of submarine development from the Regulus program to the first few teardrop shaped hulls is quite interesting.

Tom Clancy made some great books! This is one of my top 10 all time faves. Wish they would have made a red storm rising movie

is that the sub by omsi?

Tim Curry was in one of my favourite movies, The Roacky Horror Picture Show.

How about a round of applause for Connery`s hairpiece. :)

In their earlier discussion with the xo and the engineer, connery had said the sabateur is not an officer, but one of the crew. Connery trusts his hand picked officers, and tells them to check putin's records on the crew. The look the engineer gave later was because he had set up the fake reactor leak. From the cook's point of view, he's doing the right thing. He saw his captain improperly take the 2nd key, and knows he has gone rogue, so he's blowing up the boat, whether to keep it from being given to the americans, or to prevent connery from launching missiles. Edit: yeah, connery didn't deny the ego accusation. He said that he alone must answer for it.

Here are some Sean Connery must-sees: "From Russia With Love" (1963), "The Wind and the Lion" (1975), "Robin and Marian" (1976). Avoid "League of Ext. Gentlemen", "Medicine Man", "Outland", and "Zardoz". That lot are real stinkers!

the internet is the problem.on the internet, people get brownie points for bashing and putting people down, its same on both left and right. the world was a better place when peoples opinions were equally worthless.

could you add abit for your volumes to future videos. your levels are fine for headphones but really hard to hear clearly when using pc through normal output. thankyou love the rections byebyebye

2:45, you have to take a psych evaluation before being posted to submarines. So if tight spaces ain’t your thing you won’t be allowed to serve on subs.

I really like Jack Ryan's expertise on Russia in this movie. He kind of reminds me of the late Russian Studies professor Stephen Cohen (perhaps America's last true Russia expert) in that regard.

Literally last week Bill Maher had a great bit on judging people from the past by today's standards and how dumb it is. Worth checking out. It's on KZfaq.

You would put the dead body in the freezer where you keep your frozen food.

Something you might want to react to: Legend. 1985. Directed by Ridley Scott

17:55, a missile drill is just a practice run. You don’t actually fire the missile.

Another good movie from the Tom Clancy series is called clear and present danger and Jack Ryan is played by Harrison Ford in that one and they're in London it's a good one too.

It funny how around 31:00 when you were talking about knowing who your people are, that you bring up 'Gladiator' and "that one guy left Maximus"...that's the same actor who is the cook in this movie who sabotages the ship.

The book was very loosely inspired by a real incident where the officers of a Soviet frigate (not a submarine) mutinied and took over the ship. They were not trying to defect, but rather trying to expose what they felt were dangers to the Soviet Union from internal corruption. It was ultimately not successful.
