Even a few hundred years into the future duct tape still holds everything together

Seriously my favorite part about 80s films why did they stop doing this....always gets you pumped up for the action!

Schwarzenegger & Stallone… Ultimate bad asses… 😎💪

So glad you put Sigourney along with Arnold and Stallone !

Ripley's gearing up scene can't be any more beautiful. You can literally feel her fear, her lack of actual combat experience. But at the same time the absolute determination, the creativity when facing an unnatural situation, the adrenaline pumping in her body. James Cameron was a total beast back in the 80s and 90s.

COMMANDO.....ALIENS....RAW DEAL....RAMBO 2.....EVIL DEAD 2.....OOOOOOH YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!! 80s were a truly magical time.

The 80s had the best gearing up scenes

I would legit pay hella money to see an entire movie of jacked sweaty badass 80's action dudes just strapping up and locking and loading all the guns with the sweet 80's whammy guitar riffs and constant gun cocking sounds! HELL YEAH BROTHER!

If there's one thing Evil Dead pulls off with their gear up, it's a perfect one-liner. *Groovy*

Loved them all, but the Commando one with Big Arnie is still probably the most iconic of them all!

Arnold is the king of gearing up

0:11 when Arnold's double grenades clinking against each other, you know it's badass

Ripley was just a warrant officer on a space tugboat but the aliens turned her into a wrathful war-goddess.

Awesome. I actually loved Ripley's scene - even back then, I thought the idea of duct taping the rifle and flame thrower together was a rad idea. Truly a great character. Sly and Arnold are always amazing.

Even loading film into a camera is enough to get me nodding in appreciation, with a “yeah”.

2:06 Man i love the way she close her eyes take a deep breath, to regain focus,

The Ash sequence is made all the better for him making the chainsaw hand.

"Anything Left For Us?" "Just Bodies!" best line ever

The first 25 seconds is how I get ready to roll to Costco. Stumbled on this gem. Thank you. "I want my two dollars!"

My personal favorite comes from the original Dawn of the Dead when they reach the gun shop. Classic.

Me every night before school day

I always loved how Ripley just, like, duct taped a couple of guns together to make one super gun. Space Redneck ingenuity, right there.

First Blood: Part II. Legendary.

Ripleys one of the greatest heroes

Did not expect Evil Dead, but as soon as I saw the first parts, i was elated

All great action movies, thriller movies, monster movies, and supernatural horror films need scenes like this.

Ripley gearing up just hits different, knowing what she’s going to fight and who she’s fighting to save.

I forget Sigourney was one of the OG Female Bad asses . Her and Sarah Connor

Running theme, all 80’s films. Best decade for film! 🙌

4:59 that camera load is the best thing ever

The Calypso music 😂 My favorite gearing up scene is absolutely the one in the Matrix.

That Ripley scene is a 10/10.

That 3rd scene is from Raw Deal. Lot of people don't like that movie, but it's fucking boss.

Evil Dead 2 - Glad you added that scene

Arnold Owns this category.

There's only one winner here: Commando

aliens gear up actually made sense for the story, the rest are just cool lol.

I love that deep breath that Ripley takes right before the elevator opens. It’s such a little thing that just communicates so much. It’s like “WTF am I doing here? Please don’t cry, try not to panic. Deep breath, THIS IS HAPPENING, and WE are doing it. Ok. Time to get to fucking work.”

The boots, the guns, the blades Perfect preparation

That Rambo Gearing up is so iconic

Ripley has the biggest balls i have ever seen, even Chuck Norris wont be happy facing Lt.Ripley.

Commando featured THE 1st appearance of a Desert Eagle as a sidearm. Plus James Horner’s score was great.

Ripley using a Loading Dock Exoskeleton to fight the Xenomorph Queen was ultra badass.

Powerful papa wolf Matrix and sweet mama bear Ripley, a perfect start!

The musical flair on Ripley coking the grenade launcher is peak.

This is me every morning just to get a cup of coffee.

Sounds so satisfying when everyone gears up. I'm sure we all can relate to these scenes in how way or some form. These scenes reminds me a lot of my Resident Evil video game days. When playing RE1, RE2, RE3 and RE4 fighting the bosses, I geared up like crazy especially on hard mode where it only takes 2 hits to bring your health down to red. Stock up on my 1st spray, carry all my handgun bullets, carry 7 rounds of my magnum, bring a few explosive grenades, and bring one big weapon to the fights. End up using them all too because i love the difficult and challenge of the bosses.

Great 80S GEARING UP SCHENES

There's just something about those foley sounds that has a distinct charm to them.

My favorite part about these scenes is the sound effects

Ahh the Rambo knife! I can remember when I got my first knock off of that. Best summer ever!!

Ripley's gearing up scene is the best..... but right behind it is Ash (from Evil Dead 2) and the first Arnie on from Commando.

Me, before going to gym for boxing class.

I'm feeling a bit lazy today I need this. Thanks YT.

You start this whole montage with Commando??? You sir are righteous.

I hope the editor of Commando got a raise, it is impossible to not get hype with the rhythm of the edition

First 22 seconds is perfect. Perfect for all time

I love the evil dead 2 gear up scene the most so iconic

Wow Myer! Great Gearing up scenes for sure! I love this!

One my favorite scenes was in Predator 2, when Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) was gearing up for the showdown with the Predator, i thought it was awesome!

Wow look at all those guns! I wanna own them all!

Anyone else bothered that the futuristic pulse rifle did not have ANY rail moint system for accessories like flashlights and Ripley just duct taped everything?😅😂. Still badass scene lol

I served in the army in the 90s. Infantry. Based off the back of these 80s films we all used to make a real show of getting kitted up. It was always good for a laugh.

I remember in kindergarten back in 1986 I was Grunt from G.I. Joe for Halloween at school and my mom painted my face like Arnold in Commando.

This is what ive been looking for

The most badass part of Arnold's Commando scene is that he's going into battle with brand new boots. Lesser men would be crippled by pressure points and blisters after few hundred yards.

Arnold looks so badass gearing up in that wife-beater.

Ending it with one of the best lines ever uttered in the history of the world was a good decision.

Many thanks for all the new views and subscribers. I started this channel as I wanted a channel similar to Benjy' s one (search for his channel), but with 80s, 90s and early 2000s clips. This video is very rough around the edges as I barely knew how to compile and edit at that point. Thank you for your time watching, it is much appreciated.

I almost fell out of my chair laughing at Ripley’s rig. She went from no combat or weapons training whatsoever to just throwing together a weapons gumbo cocktail that would give James Bond a raging hard on. Savant level crazy fast learner. Definition of “I was shown one time.” James Cameron did his homework. He is one with the prep time.

That's me before going to the boxing gym. Seriously, that's in my mind when I gear up to train. It somehow pumps me up.

Commando is one of the greatest movies ever made. I also love how even the slightest touch of a gun in these scenes makes a huge click sound. Even them just picking it up.

So glad i was a kid in the 80's!

Me and the boys going to the range for 30 mins of fun hahaha

That Rocket Launcher thing in Commando 😂

This scene is the basis for every video game ever made.

Great vid! The Gen X memory lane!

in Rambo II, even loading the film into the camera gives that same feel

Commando: One of the best action-thriller movie ever made!

My gooood thats how i feel putting on ski gear

For some reason the clip of Stallone loading some 35mm film into his camera in amongst all the blades and guns makes me chuckle.

That Elen Ripley scene from Aliens allways gives me goosebumps.

Gearing up scenes of the 80's were the best

Commando is one of top favorite Arnold S. movies!

Honorable 80s mention: Sho Kosugi suiting up in Revenge of the Ninja

God bless your soul for this.

Cobra has such a scene too. ^^

I could be wrong, but I believe Rambo First Blood: Part II was the very first "Gear Up" scene in an action movie. If not, it definitely set the trend.

Remember kids, in 80's movies, cutting the end of your shotgun barrel off somehow makes it more powerful.

all you get in nowadays are a gun and a transmitter. what a damn dystopia we live in

I just knew Reese was next. But Ripley works :)

I play this scene in my head. When i go fishing.

JW be doing this throughout his movies and the little realistic things such as pressure checks to typical firearms that be known for needing it

The lack of Wilford Brimley's scene from Ewoks: The Battle for Endor is a stark omission.

The Kurgan assembling his sword in Highlander is a good one too. Way to introduce a villain.

0:12 it’s the fact that a Deagle looks like a reasonable sidearm when it’s strapped to Arnold.

Just like gearing up for work in the morning

Funny I JUST finished Aliens again. Epic

while I have outgrown most of these lock and load scenes.....especially Arnold.....Rambo 2 I still have some spot for due seeing his Animated Adaptation First(even if there was no killing) and Ripley for Improvising & Innovation attachments
