I was just thinking I believe I saw it 4 times in the theater. Each time bringing someone new.

No, Michael jackson is a man's man. Oh wait no he's a boys man sorry.

9/11 was the same. So many people were told to stay put. 😭

Rule 101 don’t stay put! Self survival

@@silverscreenreviews8521 what's this rule 101 and where does it come from? And how do you know more than London firefighters?

@@ya00007 wow calm down dude 😂. I’m simply saying stay in a burning tower block? Or try and get out yourself and maybe meet the firefighters half way? Same with this video.. your going to stay in a ship that’s gradually sinking in a room with windows around that could crack? I think Scott made a good judgment call to leave. I’m more commenting on the video here your the one who bought up real life

@@silverscreenreviews8521 can you explain the rule 101 for me please?

Pssst . . . Look up the definition of "Eviscerate." Thank me later!

@@TheIndependentLens oh yes they were running like chickens in a storm after that explosion trying to scurry up the tree, its logical to climb to the top the tail end up closer to sea level. the pompous ass choked on his words..

@@darnellanders8768 Boo . . . I don't think you know what's being discussed. Put the bottle down for a day, mmmmkay?

@@TheIndependentLens I was trying to respond to someone else not u.. get over yourself u jerk, i dont drink, perhaps its the meth thats screwing your brains up. it isnt even that serious.

@@TheIndependentLens and u bring new meaning to the word pompous ass.. look it up...

His acting was phenomenal in this movie. This is a great movie but this scene is my favorite! I just like the passion he had when trying to reason with them.

Young Frankenstein.

Hoosiers

Well, now if, gods forbid, you run into such a situation, you get a second chance - - -

oh yeah that purser was a dominate pompous ass who choked on his words. i would have listen to the logic in that split second moment of life and death that to climb upwards to the top the tail end is closer to sea level if they r turn upside down, so those who followed suit choosing to stay put and suddenly they have to run like chickens in a storm scurrying over to climb the tree that tumbled over. more would have survived if they had not also panic.

@@Forwardbias83 thanks for the heads up. i never heard about it, will search for it. in this day and age u must be the leader of your own thought or logic, otherwise if u follow the leader u might end up falling in a hole if u move to fast, if u follow its best to tread slowly so therefore if he falls in u can go the other way.

You know it's a movie, right? How does a movie script "prove" what choices a ship's crew, or anyone else, would make in real life?

​@@npxmnpxmLighten up. You sound like some pompous shit from Reddit who is incapable of having any fun at all.

JESUS IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEMS BELIVE IN HIM AND YOULL LIVE FOREVER

oh yes so have i.. soon though u give up trying and watch some fall to the wasteside, those who stayed behind couldn't see the logic until it was to late, they all had to run like chickens in a storm to scurry up the tree that tumbled over while also realizing the pompous ass choked on his words.

it was obvious to climb upwards to the top tail end thats closest to sea level, it was a split second decision between life and death. no time for squabbling over anything i wouldn't listen to the most dominate like the purser.

Tried to reason with a lot of people about the soon Red Dawn event. Sadly, the people I tried to warn will end up dead by the Chinese and Russians

He wasn't a priest. He was a protestant minister. And he couldn't go with them. That was the difference between him and Revered Scott. Scott was a maverick renegade in the new style where the older minister was from a different generation and believed in the old ways. Which can also work. When Scott was trying to convince him to go with them, he asked what the old minister thought of his sermon. The old minister replied, "you spoke only for the strong." And was was right!

So did I - actually he was a chaplain who may or may not have been a priest; he was wearing a roman collar which meant he could be a Catholic or an Episcopalian priest or a Methodist minister, possibly other kinds of Protestant ministers. He was more old school (traditional) and since he was older than Rev. Scott, he may not have felt as physically capable of joining Scott's group. Although he knew he was incapable of saving those who stayed behind (some of whom were injured too severely to join Scott's group even if they wanted to) and that they would most likely die, he felt his priority was to remain behind with them so he could provide them with spiritual comfort until the end - that was the POV I saw with Chaplain John's decision.

@@alexisdiva9 He most definitely was NOT a Catholic priest. Protestant although I cannot say from which denomination but based on the way he and Scott spoke, I can almost guarantee you it was not Episcopalian.

they went too fast,

@@michael.prescott4016 Nothing to do with speed; everything to do with the ship not being stable enough due to lack of ballast. This isn't Titanic and even that story is not as simple as simply going too fast.

@@Kaidhicksii the problem was that Mr Linarcos was unwilling to allow Captain Harrison to continue at slow ahead and begin taking on water ballast instead because he insisted that the Poseidon arrive that Monday night so that she could be taken to the breakers Captain Harrison was forced to have her go full ahead and she could not go and take on water ballast safely while going that fast I guess as a result the SS Poseidon was too far up out of the water in other words she was top heavy and when the seaquake occurred and the seismically generated rogue Wave occurred she was a tender ship at that point and could not stay upright when it hit even though Captain Harrison had his helm officer go hard left and even though he closed all the water tight doors it was not enough so there was some connection between the speed that the ship was going at and the disaster that unfolded.

Since there are themes of spirituality running through this film, if you look carefully, why do you think ST. John said at 1st John 4:1: "Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world."

Epstein didn’t kill himself.

It is hard to play a villain but he was exceptional. Imagine the reception he got at the local market after the movie debuted! From Movie.... Mr. Linarcos : 'I did not suggest full ahead, Captain. As the new owner's representative on this ship, I ordered it!'

Always hated the Linarcoss character. In real life he could have been forcibly removed from the bridge for interfering with the safe operation of the ship. It doesn't matter who you are ashore, at sea the Captain is the final word. Now, once they get to port, he could fire the Captain, but at sea he has to obey like everybody else.

The other problem with Linarcos is that if the ship hasn't completed it's final voyage, why is the representative of a shipbreaking company already on board? The Captain's first obligation would be to get the passengers to their destination, then deliver the ship to the scrap yard. And "three days behind schedule"? Shipbreaking is a huge business, and even one ship that size would take months to dismantle. Breakers yards are huge, and filled with old ships waiting to be cut up.

In real life the explosions would have come from the engine rooms and boiler rooms. The 1969 novel "The Poseidon Adventure" by Paul Gallico gives a lot of information about what happened as the Poseidon turned over.

Agreed. I would've contacted the Admiralty and notified them of the situation and requested Linarcos to be transferred into naval or coast guard custody. There have been scenes where it appears machinery collapsed through the decks and cut off some routes of escape. Oxygen, flammable substance and heat are the main ingredients of a fire.

That’s not true!

It is true you ########

Unless the ship flips again and becomes right side up.

The remainers copped it in this one too :(

omg, it actually is

Silver. I'd choose silver.

How's the afterlife?

Roblox i died in posedion adventure

The author of the original novel was aboard the Queen Mary when the ship almost capsized like this. That's the inspiration.

@@MajoradeMayhem Was The Poseidon Adventure really a novel-Wow I never knew it!

@@man975dog Yes, and the actual Queen Mary was used during filming as the Poseidon for some shots. It's unlikely that the real Queen Mary would have actually flipped. It's more likely it would settle on its side, as for obvious reasons, they designed the ship not to flip upside down.

The people who stayed? Yeah.

I thought he was more a remainer....

Charlton Heston should have been in this movie? Maybe a cameo as the ship captain?

Riiiiight. First of all, why'd you have to bring politics into this? Second, now that you did, what was your "reasoning," just outta curiosity, and how's it working out for you a year later? You can skip the first two questions if you want.
