Some great gearing up sequences, from a bunch of excellent 80s movies. Clips 1. Commando 2. Aliens 3. Raw Deal 4. Rambo: First Blood Part II 5. Evil Dead 2 Made with Openshot. All rights belong to their respective holders
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.
Agreement. This was my favorite. It was the only one that had a time hack. Rambo's gear would have been already ready. The countdown there was cheesy. There was no rush that I remember.
Interesting thing about the Ripley scene. For years this scene was a blooper, but they fixed it for either the Blu-Ray or the Director's Cut (I forget which.) Originally she took a flamethrower off the rack, and laid down a pulse rifle. Then she took a pulse rifle off the rack and laid down the flamethrower. It's correct here.
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!
She is frightened yet determined, Ripley is still the strongest female character and none had come close to her even after 40 years. Holywood today just misses the point by giving manlike-masculine traits to female characters to make them look strong but instead they look ridiculous.
@@lordaldo3273 And it was done right. She had to do this to survive. She had to do this to quell the nightmares. She saw the threat they were and couldn't let humanity suffer like her crew did. It was either step up or die like the rest. Hence why she was so willing to end herself when the queen was bursting her chest in 3. This is how you make a bad ass character, and Ellen Ripley is legendary.
@@JayTidethe Rambo gear up scene is awesome, but when you think of a gearing up scene, most people imagine Arnie on a beach, locking and loading everything he has.
The whole scene is just awesome, you can feel the pressure almost if it was real, such an amazing performance and great work with the make up, the sweat, the atmosphere, everything together make that part of the movie perfect.
Even moreso, in the book someone looks at her creation and states it violates at least 50 safety regulations. Ain't redneck unless it's dangerous to the wielder too.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
Honestly, I think that the attachment was the grenade launcher underneath lol. But yeah, it would have been handier if the Marines were able to put the heartbeat monitors on their rifles instead.
If he HAD the gear, he likely would have just taken the pictures, got picked up by chopper, got his pardon, and returned to Arizona....and all those dudes would have died in the camps.
Honestly Ripley in Alien is how you portray woman as a badass main character, she didn't start as a weapon weilding soldier but her experience is what led her to become hardened unlike movies these days where main character woman are just badass from start because they are just like that.
