As a former paratrooper, I can accurately say you can absolutely get knocked out by hitting the ground, although its not common. You have to realize the speed at which you fall at time of impact is estimated to be equal to jumping out a 2nd/3rd story building. Hitting your head at that speed can cause a KO/concussion.

All I can think of with this movie is “Control, I’m trying to sneak around, but the clap of my asscheeks keeps alerting the insurgents and monsters.”

"When the jaws open wide and there's more jaws inside that a moray"

I also love how the military people are wearing their rank on their unit patch spot (arm) and their very obvious patch on the chest where it should go is just blank velcro the exact size of the rank patch

“I’m in the cage with you guys, I’ve been here the whole time” humble hairless ape behavior that should never go unappreciated

I love when Roanoke goes on a random tangent about cars lmao

Loving that you haven't forgotten the person who raged about your love for cars! Always gives me a smile when I hear roanoke talks about: -anglerfish -that one guy who raged -rabies

“The magic alien anglerfish zone” is literally Roanokes hell

One of these days, the Anglerfish are gonna revolt.

"Stop shooting the Hilux Ma'am'" Hilux cares not for bullets. Top Gear demolished a building on one and dropped it in the sea. And it kept going.

Roanoke's questioning how the monster rips off the dudes face instead of slashing it reminds me of the scene in Kung Pow where the narrator is questioning how the chosen one was able to punch a perfect circle out of someone's stomach. Also, the "my one weakness, tiny nets" too.

Gush all you want over vehicles. It’s always fun to hear someone talk about something they REALLY like… and most of us will need a vehicle sooner or later. It’s awesome to learn this stuff from someone who isn’t trying to SELL us one. So I for one am ALWAYS grateful. Thanks, Papa Roanoke.

"MONKEY..." fucking killed me dude 😂

Charlotte Kirk has some serious Milla Jovovich energy. I see a bright future for her in movies with mutated humanoid CGI monsters of varying quality.

A brief list of things that can knock out a pilot during the accelerated trip to the ground: 1. The explosive charge going off under your chair. 2. The rapid deceleration from being exposed to windsheer at 200+ mph. 3. Landing on hars rocky ground with poor form. This list is incomplete for brevity's sake.

The actual ejection launches you so hard that your spine will compress. Pilots can only eject a few times before they are perma grounded.

"Mangler fish" is perfect.

Now that's an eye-catching thumbnail if I've ever seen one.

Come for the science, stay for the anglerfish slander

1. Talking about making super humans while the Halo music plays in the background, nice? 2. I'm of the mindset, if it-s not a Toyota, then it better be Honda. 3. Neil Marshall directed The Lair and Dog Soldiers, so I loved the Spoon reference. Nice call back.

Came for the monsters, stayed for the information on Toyotas hahahha

Ever since Top Gear did a bit on the show trying to kill the Hilux; that's when it gained it's invincible monicker. Top Gear drove it into trees, bits of a Victorian city with roads nailed to the ground with rivets and then had it crash, then crashed again by lifting it into the air and dropping it. Oh they also drove it out onto a ramp onto the ocean and had it consumed by the rough seas for a hot minute. Thankfully it didn't get dragged out into the open sea. This didn't stop it from starting and driving off. Then to close this chapter on the car, they put it atop a tower block, (a 14 story building). Which was then demolished. Again the Hilux started and drove on. Hence creating the legend which got quoted in ads back in America.

Splicing angler fish dna with human dna is Roanoke’s biggest nightmare. Gonna need a big dose of copium after watching this movie. 😂

Mr. Roanoke. I love when you talk about vehicles and such. That one person who doesn’t like it can kick rocks.

Your videos are seriously my background noise. I love listening to the biology and the story breakdowns. Story breakdowns because 1) I never have the time to actually watch 2) I have a hard time solely paying attention to just that. Biology because 1) your sassy sarcasm is awesome and 2) even though it’s not my field of work I’ve always had an interest in learning and biology and medicine. Keep up the great work!

I lost my frontal lobe to yellow bear

I love how some times Roa just "Hold up, thats a preaty sick car", like, dood, how you know so much about biology AND mechanics 😂

12:05 Ahh Kung Pow Reference. You truly are a cultured man Roanoke!

Regarding the MOAB: The Wiki article says, that it was meant to replace the `Daisy-Cutter´-Bomb, which was used to turn dense jungle into affordable parkingspace for helicopters. It is meant to be used against large massings of troops, caves and even to clear minefields. As of 2007 it is the second largest conventional bomb with 8,5 t of RDX (11 t of TNT), being surpassed by the russian `Father of all bombs´ with a TNT equivalent of 44 t. Also: How do you fall unconcious from a parachutelanding, BUT are completely fine after getting hit by a car?

that thing standing up behind the guy after having a plastic tarp thrown over it, with its lack of eyes and the teeth gave me serious RE4 Regenerator vibes.

The Toyota rant is just one more reason I love this man

My brother actually buys a lot of those old toyota trucks running or not. He sells them to people from central America whome go crazy over them. He showed a picture of one he sold it was basically junk, but in Guatemala, they completely refurbished it to near new condition.

STARTING THE DAY WITH A HEALTHY DOSE OF ROANOKE

I was an airborne marine. Yes if you have weak little legs you can pass out but the amount of altitude change ( not that big of a difference) and if you don’t bend your knees you can pass out. I’ve seen grown men just collapse because they didn’t bend the knees a bit.

MOABs have been used primarily to take out tunnel networks in mountain settings, as bunker busters tend to work better on man made bunkers, while Moabs use a surface detonation to propogate large concussion waves through rock to collapse entire cave systems. Its actually more beneficial to target specific critical infrastructure with multiple smaller munitions than it is to completely destroy a base. Much like injuring someone to give them a difficult decision. Like Ryan Mcbeth says "you want to give your opponent dilemmas, not problems."

Roanoke ranting about toyotas made me think he would love to learn about the toyota wars.

35:04 like a true Halo game, the jeep must always fit through the doors

"What are you doing step insurgents?" 😂😂😂 And the meme he used 😂😂😂

My uncle cut his finger off and the nurse at the hospital felt it appropriate to say “I guess it really does sawzall” 🤦‍♂️ it hit about the same lmao

Roanoke's tangents about vehicles are the only car talks I can stand and be invested in.😅 Mad Max Fury Road might not have the deepest biological components to cover, but would love any excuse to get some "anatomy" breakdowns for the "monsters" of the Fury Road.

"Mangler Fish" sounds pretty badass when you fit "Mangle" into it.

This channel is how I bridge my automotive interests with my horror interests, keep the car tangents going.

"It hurts to know there are non-imperial units over there" Ah yes, the 'over there' that includes such places as not-america, and everything-else

I've said this before and i watch a couple of other channels that inject real science or psychology into movies and TV. Your videos are quite fun and inject some depth to things which could be taken at face value. Whether you are complimenting something or picking it apart, it adds to a movie's charm.

Dearest Papa Roanoke, Sorry to hear about your recent Facebook Relationship Status change. Regardless of it was something that needed to happen or not, major changes always bring additional stress. I hope it is the best thing for both of you in the long-term. Your content, on both channels, is something I always look forward to. Roanoke Gaming vids are something that my 11yo son and I always love watching together as soon as they drop. Roanoke Tales was the catalyst for some of the best bonding experiences my now 18yo daughter and I have had when she started working as a customer service associated for the summer at my company and we were stuck in the car together for 2 hours every day while commuting and she wanted something spooky to listen to. Well, OG Roanoke Tales for the W!!!! Thanks for being you, brother. Keep being exactly who you are. Don't ever stop. If you do... well you won't like the consequences... Lock n load, brides of Christ!

"What are you doing, step insurgent?!" 😂😂

On the rank thing, I'm ex-Royal Air Force and our ranks for Commissioned Officers were Pilot Officer, Flying Officer, Flight Lieutenant, Squadron Leader, Wing Commander, Group Captain, Air Commodore, Air Vice Marshall, Air Marshall, Air Chief Marshall and Marshall of the Royal Air Force. Fast Jet Pilots qualify after 3 years of training from initial entry, and if I remember correctly (I've been a civilian for 15 years now) they attain the rank of Flight Lieutenant upon completion

It's not a true Roanoke experience without tangents about cars. You're about the only person I could listen about cars from.

Seeing Elon when you said "ridiculously intelligent people" nearly made me spit out my coffee 😂

I may have no idea what you're talking about when you start fangirling over vehicles, but i personally find it great! Don't know why anyone would complain, it gives your videos personality and makes them more enjoyable to watch

Movie: Defies the laws of physics Roanoke: Defies the laws of getting to the point

Love how when he says "forced human testing" the Halo Combat Evolved theme starts playing knowing damn well that's what spartan II's are. It's the details. As GCN says "details man, they ARE important"

While over *there* picked up a hilux from a contractor that was heading home. Used it to go from one side of base to the flight line The amount of shrapnel in it was hilarious. No damage ever took it out longer than a few hrs

First Edit: regarding the parachute thing... the only way she would have been knocked unconscious would have been from the ejection. It is a 12g launch when sent from the jet so it is possible that launch could have caused a G-lock event making her unconscious. Also, yes a 1st Lieutenant can fly. She was back seat anyway so she wasnt flying, she was a radar and electronic warfar officer in the jet

Intro speech while warthog run plays is top tier.

Extra Kudos to Papa Roanoke for having to explain in painstaking detail all about his greatest fear humans becoming Anglerfish.

He really got me with the “Step Insurgents”

Humanity together strong.

4 months ago I didn't watch this video, now I am and I've immediately been reminded of my depression focused around how much I wish humanity was just a *little* bit smarter in terms of compassion at the very least. Man.

It’s a longshot, but I think you would have a ball reviewing the planet Catachan from Warhammer 40K. Its basically if Australia plus Vietnam was a planet.

I wouldn't say it's common, but it does happen more frequently than you'd think. Especially depending on how you land, you could hit your head just right and get knocked out. Paratrooper here

Love your content brother. I know you probably hear this a lot but your videos legitimately get me through work. I listen to them like podcasts when I'm driving.

"everyone is jazzed about shuffling off the mortal coil." I mean it's Anglerfish hybrid monsters that roam on land, I would be jazzed about doing that shuffle too.

You should do Leviathan, its on HBO right now and is yet another example of why man shouldn't be crossed with an anglerfish

Transhumanism is a hell of a thing. Check out the novels Blindsight and Echopraxia. A number of interesting ways are proposed in both novels. Oh, and there are Vampires.

You can be a lt to pilot a craft. Normally a first lt once assigned to a squadron. I think as she was In charge of the aircraft they referred to her as captin. In the navy the person in charge of the vessel is referred to as Captin regardless of rank.

As someone who is no weapons expert but someone who's interested in camera and movie equipment: an AK 47 does a through and through wound, but the round becomes unstable in the body by design. To inflict more damage to the body, it hit. So, hiding behind a torso is definitely so much better than tanking the risk of any of those bullets. The chances that the bullet exits the body on the opposing side of the entrance is minimal.

“Goblin mode” 💀

Awesome video dude! I hope the next one is for the tardigrade monster from harbinger down!

"You never want to be the smartest person in a crowd".

please do a video on vampyr game on how the pure vampires blood becomes weaker when infecting more people they turn into Skals. also how skals feeding ways completely changing to where they can feed of peoples flesh instead of the purer vampires can only drink blood. it would also be interesting to know how there are different branches of the vampire blood like how one branch makes people look like werewolfs

Anybody else appreciate the very VERY quiet halo music constantly running through this video?

The desert/dessert thing makes sense thanks Roanoke

The Halo music fits perfectly in the background with the context of the video. I really enjoy little things like that.

I love how nobody noted that the Halo theme was being played softly in the background before the Raycon bit. 😢

"All she finds is backwards Rs..." that one caught me off-guard.

"..from HEAR on out" 😄 Papa Roanoke strikes again

I feel like Roanoke and a mechanic have lots of things in common. They know a lot about cooling systems. They love cars. They have enemies... such as organic chemistry.

I love how Roanoke keeps referencing the "Swing away, Merrill"

For some reason I thought this was going to be about the Silents. Also do one of these about the Silents.

12:04 How can I ever know for certain if this is a "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist" reference or not?

It is incredibly common to get knocked out while jumping. Also, ejecting is such a violent and horrible experience that if you are forced to eject twice, you cant fly anymore due to the damage you sustain. Spinal fractures and passing out just from the ejector seat firing is common.

When you get dragged the xenomorph nest and the queen pulls your pants down. She then laughs and says "this looks like a job for the little mouth". I'm sorry I had to

I laughed so fucking hard when you said " stop shooting the Hilux ma'am"!!! It just came out so casually and chill lmao. great movie and video as always my man!

Good old halo 3 escaping the ring intro music

I never understand a word of what you're talking about when you're talking about cars, but I love your energy for it, man.

I have the strangest feeling that if Papa Roanoke ends up in a cameo role for an indie horror game, his character will end up turning into the ManglerFish... Then we'd have a BrundleFly moment.

Kind of a random suggestion but if you've seen The Expanse at all, the protomolecule could be a good subject to do a video breakdown on. As always these videos from obscure horror movies I've never seen are top tier👍

Hey Roanoke, I think you should look at the HK virus evolved humans from dead island 2. I find their enhanced abillities with the retention of their humanity to be fasinating, and that the HK Virus could be refined to do this in all humans with time. And I am going to keep posting this over and over again till it is done, my guy.

The memory swap being double sided kind of reminds me of MGS1, where Meryl escapes the prison and Psycho Mantis appears. Snake says he thinks he just had a hallucination (one of Mantis' memories), and Naomi believes it's psychometric interference from Mantis, sort of like a mental feedback loop.

40 years isn't actually that suprising, for an old car. They just used to be built different. I remember my dads old car, was a mercedes 190D. He got it, like, way before I was born and had it until I was like 25 or something. Then he had to let go of it due to a lot of rust (he never had a garage so he was forced to always park it outside in his front yard), but engine and everything else was still working fine. Nowadays you're lucky if a car survives like 10 years before needing some serious maintenance that's gonna be more expensive than just buying a new car.

I love the kung pow reference i used to watch that shit with my brother as kids on repeat. Shame they never made part 2

That opening was a perfect parallel, a friend of mine the other day just mid-conversation stops and says to me. " Regular people make you sick don't they sensei?" I won't go into the rest of the conversation but I found that interesting. Lmao

I work for copart, where wrecked cars and unwanted cars go. That hilux with marks plumbing on its a lesson they teach us when we start about how important it is to put in for decal removal. That came from one of our yards, and it was a huge deal at the time. Understandably so

Never saw an FJ60 in Afghanistan. Plenty of 70 series. I was out in Kunar and watched dozens of old diesel Hiluxes haul way too much crap up and down those mountain roads. Ended up moving from a 93 Pickup to an 87 4Runner. Did the solid axle conversion, bastard packs and 35's balanced with airsoft bbs, threw a Spartan locker in the rear diff and let it eat. Dailyed what started as a basket case for two years 500 miles a week on the highway. made it to work one day with a blown head gasket. made it home before any issues appeared. Made it in one time with a snapped tie rod end and only one wheel following the steering wheel. Made it home on a bush-welded repair. Drove it over every rock in New England, caved in a door, bashed it back out, drove it in a river up to the headlights. Yanked a few stumps, snatched more than one hapless Jeep out of the mud. Without a doubt one of the best trucks I've ever owned. So much that I scooped up an 86 Pickup not long after so I could have a wrencher and a driver at the same time. But hey, heres to pointing out that Finch has his name tape on the wrong side of his chest, wears the wrong color undershirt for ACUs, wears a goofy ass oversized rank patch on his arms in lieu of unit patches, is wearing a subdued embroidered US flag facing the wrong way on his right arm instead of an IR patch and an eyepatch would make him non deployable...only thing he's missing from Hollywood Military Bingo is his collar fully velcroed.

Elon Musk is just the next Steve Jobs. A month piece with selling skills, but not the actual engineer of what they sell.

One like = one push up. We get swole on the Roanoke vids

lol dude I love how you jump around in all these videos. It’s very comical especially when your like “Hold up is that a Toyota” god I was cracking up

i love your commentary and the small things it makes this channel what it is, so many channels just run the "explain script" with no soul in it just like a robot, you do it amazing and my adhd brain just clicks when you starts to go on a completely off topic rant about something (like cars rofl) also sometimes i actually learn something from your ramblings and my brain thanks me for it :D
