"I can't stand save-asses and I won't abide kiss-asses." Best line EVER!!

This is a criminally underrated movie. Hackman and Denzel are amazing together.

The way the sub dives with the music playing is just beautiful.

"Last breath of poluted air for the next 60 days; I don't trust air I cannot see!" Gotta love Gene Hackman!

While Tony Scott was editing the movie, he actually received word that the real USS Alabama was going to ship out of Pearl Harbor so Scott and a small crew immediately flew to Hawaii to capture footage of the sub before it sets out underwater. Scott and his camera operators captured the footage using a boat and helicopter. Both producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer said it was pure luck that they were able to get footage of the submarine going underwater and originally were going to use computer effects but Scott was against it and wanted to use real and actual footage and he got it. Just an amazing movie. I love True Romance but I honestly believe this is Scott's best movie.

Is it safe to say that the Comments section is full of eggheads talking it away instead of enjoying this moment??!!

Hackman is one of the most underrated actors of our time imo. I was in the military for 8 years and he played the senior officer/commander role very believably.

Thanks for the memories... eight patrols in one of those, USS Henry M. Jackson SSBN-730, 1990-1994.

I've come here to charge my testosterone for the day

For every sailor and marine hearing the hymn "Eternal Father Strong to Save" a tear comes to our eye. Roll Tide.

"Most eggheads just try to talk it away." Unlike me, of course, who has been talking non-stop.

Even though the Navy refused to give any kind of cooperation to filming, Tony Scott knew how to get the shots he needed🔥🔥 such a badass director 🔥missing his frenetic style films ❤️😢

I love this scene. I've sailed through the Straits of Juan de Fuca (in a surface warship) and served in a submarine - both during the Cold War. This is how it was when I was a young man.

I always loved how Ramsey goes out of his way to praise Hunter for shutting up and enjoying the view, all the while proceeding to talk through it...

The Navy Hymn sung as the submarine dives is quite moving. As if it's honoring the excellence of the crew and their bravery. Hans Zimmer really outdid himself with that soundtrack.

I forgot how beautiful and impactful this scene is. Leadership is an interesting thing. They are no "bad guys" in this movie. This is a very good look at the way leadership works/doesn't work.

Chief of the Watch, on the 1MC! "Dive! Dive!"

One minute they're talking about the cigar and then abruptly the professionalism kicks in. "XO take her down!" Almost the like XO is a third person on the bridge. Awesome acting.

the old times.... when movies were good becuz acting..... not the special effects

"XO, take her down." "Take her down, aye, Sir."

"This is my favorite part.. right here, right now"

Hauntingly beautiful melody and vocals.

I was a Tin Can sailor but still love this scene as a Navy veteran!

I abslolutely loved this film. Saw it in theater, & I have the DVD. it never grows old. ---------------MJL 76 y/o

Best use of 'For those in peril on the sea' in any film.

Tremendous choral singing of the Navy Hymn. Gives me a lump in my throat every time.

" Bravo Hunter" excellent scene from two of the most talent actors that I ever seen in my life

One of the most hair raising scenes in Hollywood movie history. Till the dive commences, we are in awe of the size and the strength of the US Navy nuclear powered submarine. But as the dive begins and the mighty ocean gradually swallows the submarine, we are once again left awestruck with the enormity of Mother Nature as David (nuclear sub) merges into Goliath (the ocean) in this scene. In Sanskrit, the ocean is called 'Samuddhra' and when we Indians use that word, it is quite a mouthful and it gives us a sense of the actual might of nature's water force when we say it.

Washington/Hackman it simply gets no better. Two of the most powerful actors in history.....

I like the music in this scene, it go's so well with it.

35 years in the Navy and the loss of some very good friends made "Eternal Father" music that grabs me deep just about every time I hear it. This is a beautiful rendition. Fair winds my friends....

Gonna have to watch Crimson Tide again now!

I love this scene, the calm before the storm. One of my top 30 best film ever.

The film crew waited at Pearl Harbor for a sub to put out to sea. In an incredible coincidence, the real USS Alabama was the first sub to do so. They followed in a boat and helicopter and got this footage.

IMO, Simply one of the absolute best soundtrack ever and one of my favorite movies of all time too.

THIS was an awesome movie. The acting between Hackman and Washington's characters was top notch.

Excellent movie, amazing spar off between Washington and Hackman, both superior actors. And this scene is quite moving for some reason - guess that, to me, is the dedication, the risk, the stakes, and the beauty of filming/editing. Thanks for posting. I'm thinking of showing this at our military retirement community near Veterans Day, for many of our folks were submariners.

"I can't stand save-asses and I won't abide kiss-asses" -Captain Ramsey (beautifully delivered by Gene Hackman). Anyone have male kids in here? Here's some good advice, drill that into their heads until they're saying it in the sleep and are hopefully living it when they become men. Take responsibility for your actions and don't be a sycophant; teach them this first before anything else. Great movie, thank you 🙏

I love the low tone sound of the sea rushing over the sub

This is the best acting? film ive seen .The master Hackman's swansong vs brilliant Washington

Great movie, excellent music. The gimbaled set they built for this was incredible and added to the reality of the film.

When they are diving, the song is "The Navy Hymn".

There is nothing more beautiful than watching a sunset in the middle of the Pacific. I’ve done it while flying missions and aboard the Carl Vinson.

“Most eggheads want to talk it away.”, CAPT Ramsey… Said in the ramblings while he’s talking it away… while Hunter just chills.

Awesome use of music to set the scene. “Amen” comes right as the periscope submerges.

Opening of Under Siege with the dolphins at the bow of the Missouri was spectacular!

My favorite scene in the whole movie especially the Navy hymn playing as the music .....go Navy!!!

My favorite part of the show! Any of U former lookout Out there understand this moment, back on watch, after all the hoopla has died there is only the rush of the ship cutting through the water and the trail the screw makes as U move forward! The smell of the sea air, the horizon all around U until nightfall, then only the lights of contacts, green for rt side, red for port, white for rear. Then 2 hours later, your stomach telling U what to do with your lunch! Miss it sometimes, but sometimes I don't!

I like the Denzel Washington´s acting in this movie

Movies like this, you better get while you still can. Feminism and Hollyweird will see to it they are never made again. Powerful movie. Powerful acting.

The song is already legendary, and Hans Zimmer makes it epic

I forgot how good this film is.

Gene Hackmann and Denzel Washington, epic

Thanks for sharing this nice video Sir Walker Knight ! May The Force Stand by You along 2020 !

The scene in which the U.S.S. Alabama is diving for the first time, is footage of the real submarine submerging. Tony Scott was following along in a helicopter obtaining shots of the ship. When the Captain of the Alabama requested that the helicopter cease filming, they submerged, which is what director Tony Scott was hoping for anyway.

This movie is crisp, smooth and direct. I forgot how good this was. Thank you for uploading this scene.

The music scores in this movie were awesome!

Legendary song, legendary movie, legendary actors.

Montecristo No.2 cigars (Cuban and non-Cuban) are excellent cigars. One of my favorites.

Gene Hackman - imo best actor ever,. Amazing acting skill..

Lol, i love how theres always vocals playing in movies when submarines dive. First Red October, then this, and a few others.

Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; Oh Saviour whose almighty word, The winds and waves submissive heard, Who walked'st on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep, Oh hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea. Amen

Never ceases to amaze me - all those running Matelots! Running forward from aft to man their stations and those who have stations aft, running from forward! A time and motions bod would have a field day! LOL

I remember I had to take an anti submarine warfare class in the Navy. The Lt. that started the presentation said welcome. I'd like to tell you all right now there is no such thing or effective strategy for anti submarine warfare. Now let's begin. 🤣

I love this film so much. The score! :) Peak Hans Zimmer :P

I am by nature very claustrophobic, so the thought of serving in the close quarters of a submarine terrified me, especially the thought of being trapped in one deep under water during a catastrophic event (on a regular boat you can toss out life preservers and launch lifeboats, but in a submarine there's nowhere to go). And yet, I've always been fascinated with submarines since I was a child. Many years ago I got the chance to experience life aboard a submarine. Initially I panicked, but after a while I almost forgot that I was in a submarine. I'm still claustrophobic, but I do admire those who live abd serve aboard those fine vessels.

The vocals in the music from Hans Zimmer as this tool of Armagedón slips beneath the waves really adds to this scene.

The next great submarine movie, after The Hunt for the Red October. Simply amazing film.

Such a strong scene, the pictures, the music, everything...

I love that expression on the guys face when he has to dive the sub, a look of 'shit, dont fuck up now!'

Music in this film ... Oh my God. Amazing , brilliant

My dad was on the Louis & Clark nuclear sub in 1970. He said it was the greatest experience he ever had during the service.

awww one of the beautiful scene of the movie. the SSBN Alabama is diving to the ocean and the sun is shining on it like a burning fire.

Love this scene...one my all-time favorite.

Very underrated Film....in its time, I think time has shown how good it was but should have been an Oscar contender

One of the most iconic scenes of the movie.

Don't forget to take down the windshield..

Submarines can travel under water.

Two of the most powerful actors in Hollywood, all masculinity and presents..

Crimson Dive - How a gentleman spends the early hours of Saturday morning, 3rd weekend of the month.

as flawed, wrongheaded, and outright dangerous as Ramsey is, you can't help but admire the grizzled old warrior and feel a little regret when he's ultimately laid low.

I was on the USS KITTY HAWK CV 63 those same years.. Go NAVY !!

I love watching this film by the late Tony scott he did a brilliant job director this movie he got 2 brilliant actors in it they were my dad favourite actor of all time his name is gene Hackman and denzel washington the script was brilliant written a great soundtrack as well also a great supporting cast as well 👍👍👍🎥🎥🎥

My personal FAVORITE movie from the 90's.

The only true enemy,is war itself

Keep your priorities straight; Your mission and your men... Well said.

Of the best things in the world is being on the bridge around sunset with a good cigar. One of my favorite things from my time on SSN-713.

Forgot about this classic... Now I have to definitely rewatch it after seeing this!

Chief of the watch on the 1mc DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!.....best part of that scene!

My favorite line..."chief of the watch on the 1mc Dive Dive Dive!!!!!!"

This is my favorite scene.... and one of my favorite navy themed movies

What a beautiful scene. LOVE this movie!!!!

Although i would be to scared to ever serve on one, i think subs are cool as hell. Much respect for those sailors.

Smokin a monte cristo and cruising on a nuclear sub....bad ass. Denzel did not properly toast his cigar though

I love this move so much. I watched it at least 30 times when I was a kid.

The Navy has a fine sense of tradition! Whenever an American submarine leaves port, the crew sings this ancient sea chanting. A-One! A-Two! A-Three! A-Four!

this song is part of my running playlist

"Don't like em too much, there more expensive then drugs..." My Mind : Cubans :P

Beautiful scenery 💯😊✊

Gene Hackman really command respect, Denzel is awesome in this movie. Both are acting giants!
