Iron Giant Goes Ballistic - Full Scene 

At least it's a beloved classic.

+Liz Samaroo Not only that, it was also beat out at the box office (can you freakin believe it) by "The Sixth Sense". Seems they were both released at the same time and most moviegoers flocked to see TSS. I mean it wasn't a bad movie but it definitely ain't no Iron Giant....

+Liz Samaroo This movie stands the test of time. It's loved by almost everybody I know. :)

I feel like a lot of movies at this time got overlooked by not being Disney, the only one I can think that was Disney Was Atlantis. Others include Anastasia, Prince of Egypt, this and El dorado

The reason this movie didn't do too well in box office is because it was poorly promoted when it was released so no one really saw it

It was "What if a gun had a soul?"

“What if a gun had a soul, and chose not to be a gun”

It's a film that really explores the idea of "free will" in a very unique way for a children's film. You are what you choose to be regardless of how much influence pushes you in a certain direction. You always have a choice. It just may not be an easy one

I thought it also had a few similarities (a kid friendly version) with Of Mice and Men. Yeah he's friendly, acts childlike, and doesn't mean any harm, just like Lennie. Only instead of a few silly mishaps here and there that just get a slap on the wrist and a stern talking to. Things such as essentially leaving a trail of death in his wake in the form of mass animal homicide, multiple cases of assault as witness George Milton stated "...ALL THE DAMN TIME!...", 3 battery charges THAT WE KNOW OF... In order, there was Ms/Mrs Reddress Fieldruns Inweed, in which he tried to forcefully remove her dress... yeah... maybe another charge there. Then there was the second case likely to be charged as Aggravated Battery as well as attempted murder. The victim, Mr Curly Slimhand, son of the man Lennie was currently employed by I might add, who after being baited into a fight by Lennie, who is known to have had several run ins with him prior to this event and was likely planned at length by Lennie, who after waiting for his chance to get revenge, seized the opportunity and deliberately took advantage of Curly's emotionally compromised state. It was after this point the assailant, Lennie Small (dont let the name fool you he's big in real life), went LEAPS and BOUNDS, FAR beyond his supposed of claims 'self defense', after winning the fight, as well as failing to notice several eye witnesses fortunately for Mr Curly Slippyhand, a fight, that... AS STATED, he had spent so much time planning for, he went on to relentlessly and mercilessly crush Curly's hand until each bone had been completely crushed resulting in severe bleeding as the splintered bones began to pierce through his flesh as well as permanent nerve damage that not even a glove full of Vaseline was able to save. Lennie had to be forcefully removed before he could continue his bloodthirsty quest for vengeance, which required several people directly intervening to do so. That brings us to the 3rd battery charge as well as a murder in the first degree. After witnesses prevented him from slowly, brutally, and painfully murdering Mr Curly Swampglove, he decided he would still have his payback by going after Curly's beloved wife, Mrs Pruneyhand. While initial the initial investigation suggested a case of negligent homicide, in lieu of these previous events as well as reviewing the footage found on the hidden cameramannequin by the director after following a trail of dead animals that lead to the barn from old Rorikstead where the last mutilated remains of a puppy, reduced to a ball of bloody goop and fur the size of a stress ball, was found hidden under some hay which activated a Dwemer dramatic camera pan revealing the body of Mrs Soggyhand, it is safe to say that the murder of Mrs Picklehand was premeditated. He began by attempting to rip chunks of her scalp off of her skull by pulling her hair at which point she was heard saying "dont mess it up" she then began to scream in fear for her life when he was able to grab ahold a single strand of Maybelline reinforced hair yanking her towards him while simultaneously yelling in a commanding voice "GET OVER HERE". After grabbing her head and lifter her off the ground he used the physx engine to ragdoll flail and 'rubberband' her body when suddenly time on the footage seemed to slow as an xray view depicted her neck splintering at which point an otherworldly voice could be heard saying "FATALITY!" He then continued to stand in a fighting stance facing right side of the screen threw a few kicks at the air before awkwardly walking backwards still in a fighting stance for a few steps, then backflipping back towards the barn door. After an extensive manhunt and after changing his first name from George to Agent a courier approached Agent Milton and said "let courier six take the package" Almost as if the Mojave would sort him out or something after refusing to surrender the platinum chip to Captain Del Rio he discovered it was foil wrapped chocolate that had a slip of paper stuck in it and as fortune would have it he learned that Lennie had changed his name to Edgar Ross and was fishing by the river. He approached Lennie (Edgar pfft) and is on record as having said "I'm your huckleberry" at which point Lennie went to draw his 4 paw colt rabbit from his top hat but Arthur Morgan came out of the bushes screaming "WHERE ARE YOU LENNY, YOU'RE NOT LENNY" then made a campfire and cooked some thyme big game. Arthur, a long time friend of George used his dead eye on Lennie upon remembering that Lennie was not Lenny. Mr Morgan said "you're alright boa" to George Milten and slowly the silhouette of him and his horse disappeared over the horizon in search of Lenny but more importantly Redemption amiiiiiiid amid the crash of the wooooooooorld. But the Iron Giant Unlike Lenny or Lennie on the other hand could wipe out all of humanity at any moment when his combat mode kicks in and goes all metal gun hulk on kids with super soakers. Also Officer Tenpenny only gave George

It’s not he didn’t want to be a gun, his memory got wiped when he crash landed, and Hogarth replaces it with a new path for him and the power of choice.

@@saulhinojoza2457 He lost his temper after thinking himself and the military killed Hogarth, of course he’s going to miss a few times like an angry soldier just throwing the barrel around after watching his best friend die in his arms

Notice that the military were evacuating civilians. They were probably doing so before the giant even fired on them due to the proximity of the city. The rest of the civs would definitely hide or run from something like that as it's the 50s, so recording isn't happening. Maybe a few would watch I supposes.

He went back to his prime directive: the extermination of humanity. That was his original purpose. He was only attacking military assets, yes, but when exterminating an entire race, you hit the ones capable of resisting you first. While nowhere near the giants technological sophistication, the military is the closest thing able to stop, or at least hamper your mission, thus it takes priority. if the person that ran up to him when he changed back was anyone other than hogarth, he'd have killed him out of convenience. That cannon wouldn't have deactivated and the person would have been turned to glass

In The Military's defense, Giant's more powerful than them!

@@armorpro573 haha not really what I was talking about but God bless! Mans did put the G in General in this movie

@@joyboy6134 Normally cartoons tend to portray generals as crazy, loud, belligerent authority figures, but this movies does this professionally. The general is a strategic man who only orders his men to fire due to the risk of civilian casualties. And he orders his men to stand down once Hogarth is still alive. Best part about this movie is when the missile explodes, you can briefly see the general saluting.

0,0

Bezo Bezovic Not necessarily, because the Giant has a “civilian” mode where he’s not kitted out to the nines with guns, it’s something he transforms into. If the race that built him wanted a pure weapon, they would have just built him with the guns showing regularly right?. I think he’s like a probe that can observe a culture and assess its intentions and development. If he’s targeted by weapons, he reacts with violence. Because of the bump on his head, we can only guess at his purpose, but it wasn’t purely benign. The chest gun is way beyond a “conventional” response to meeting equivalent force, unless there are Very Big Problems out there. The mystery is what makes the movie good. Your VonNeuman idea is interesting, thanks for sharing.

For anyone who still cares, an added scene in the Signature Edition contains a dream/flashback that explains his origins. The Iron Giant is indeed a war machine. In the dream, it shows an army of them attacking cities on his home world, eventually destroying the entire planet. That's how he was flung into space and reached Earth, his planet exploded. In a way, it makes it more touching, in that he chose to not be what he was designed for. He wanted to be good, not just a gun.

@@conorgleeson2453 Hands help it do some things. as we saw it needs to eat metal for some reason, the hands probably allow for that. Also having all of those weapons activated probably uses a ton of energy, so if it didn't need the guns at the time it's probably something like an armored power saver mode.

Weapons like the Iron Giant are probably built to attract a planet's military and cause havoc on the best weapons they're forced to muster against the overwhelming threat. If it's destroyed, then the host will probably figure that the planet requires more for a successful invasion and the second wave might bring something like a Steel Behemoth, or maybe half a dozen of 'em.

​@Dee_Nice89 Mansley was the fault of that though, as Dean did warn Mansley that the Giant only reacts to Weapons, but Mansley twisted the story to the General as soon as Dean took off after them claiming "He said the monster's killed the kid!".

Bro just scienced the shit out of this fuck

Bro if that shit is an ionized path then anyone who gets shined with it getting stage 6 cancer lmao

I have the toy of this version of the Giant. His leg "Lights" are called "Phonton"-Somethings. I'm not sure if it's related to anything remotely close to ionization, but it's good to see someone who knows their stuff, scientifically or science-fictionally speaking. But to the movie's credit, it was based on mid-1900's sci-fi movies. It could be possible that some of the Giant's offensive weaponry could be a direct inspiration from "War of the worlds" in 1953. In that movie, the Martian beams are said to "Nullify Matter" by cancelling out the electrical bond between atoms. This could be that.

@@nickthepick8043 Well, I can't say for certain, but the idea of a "photon converger" does exist. Its the principle that photons are super fast and super light weight particles that - if you could gather enough together - could be used to make a super high velocity projectile based on the power of light. Depending on the energy output of such a device, it would theoretically have similar kickback to that of a railgun though, so it makes a bit of sense that they would be in the giant's legs where they would have the most stability. It would also certainly make sense to utilize sci-fi ideas of the time like you said. War of the Worlds has been reimagined plenty of times and is often regarded as some of the first of the sci-fi genre.

I still shudder seeing The Giant's full arsenal in action. - His ability to reassemble from injury or damage. - His Right hand Cannon great for Anti-Light Cavalry and Heavy Infantry - His Left arm Disintigrator great for Anti-Heavy Cavalry and Anti-Defense - His Right Fore-arm (I call it a) Pokey Gun great for Anti-Infantry - Those Serpentine Blasters I can only assume are a combination of Anti-Air, Anti-Artillery, and Anti Armor and Infantry. & - HIS CORE Sphere Blaster. Which doesn't seem like an anti-anything other than anti-that direction. I mean it made a blast sphere the size of a city... so to me it looks like a if he see's an enemy coming from "that way" he uses this to just... delete "that way" Dude's a One-Man Invasion... and yet the species or entity that enlists them is shown (in a cut scene from the movie) That they would send a Legion to conquer and/or devestate a planet.

I think he was trying to take out the laser guns from the giant's back. But it's not like a small gun like that would take down something that big but ya gotta respect his effort.

@@RandomPamtriFella you gotta respect a man who never stops trying. And it’s been a minute since I’ve seen that scene but I’m pretty sure when they are in the car running front the giant the general was firing at the giants joints. Like shoulder blades and stuff. Aka trying to find weak points instead of just firing blindingly. But still he’s a boss for never stoping.

Vin Diesel was just meant to be the Iron Giant

Even worse, with thousands of civilians in the blast radius!

To be fair the after effects of radiation at this time were really underestimated. The fallout is the worst part, by miles. Sure you kill many, but the survivors within the fallout line are absolutely and completely SOL.

You're forgetting that that wasn't Mansley's plan. He intended to get the Giant a safe distance away before having them launch the nuke. Of course, he's still an idiot, but not as insane as General Rogard first thought when he suggested the bomb.

@@Zalgo-hr6qc That’s a good point, in 1957 when the story is set, many people were still understandably ignorant of the full effects of radiation and didn’t know any better because the concept was still fairly new to so many people (the atomic obliteration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had only happened 17 years earlier) and back then they didn’t have the easy access to high-speed digital information that so many people take for granted today that easily catalogs and archives information for us so efficiently at an almost seamless rate. So information for them (not to mention the time it takes to digest, contemplate and comprehend said information) moved nowhere near as fast as it does now, due the 50’s understandable limitations of mass communication technology of the decade like radio, film and even television which was still in its infancy at the time.

You said it Leo. More often than not the military is treated as soulless drones whos sole purpose is to follow orders and fight. Unfortunately, this has some basis in reality: the harshness of the tasks and the strain of killing the enemy or putting your people in danger force most military officers, no matter their rank, to compartmentalize their emotions in order to avoid shattering under the pressure. The General's portrayal in this movie is a breath of fresh air, to be honest. Dangerous or not, the military exists for a reason.

But in terms of area, because they are ground detonated, the fallout isn't nearly as bad as it otherwise could be. Airburst "dirty" bombs are far nastier on that end of things.

Someone said that his home planet got destroyed and he was launched into space towards Earth by the explosion. Kinda like that theory more.

@@zerosorigin8387 Much like Goku and Superman themselves. How ironic.

Yeah his landing on Earth being an accident

I saw the seen

It was actually added to the Signature Edition cut of the Movie.

He probably saved the entire town. That explosion looked about as big as a small nuke all by itself.

If you thought this was impressive, just watch one of the new Rebuild Evangelion movies, or Neon Genesis Evangelion TV episodes. When those living robots called Evangelions go into berzerk mode, they become so INSANELY powerful. It's like when you use ALL the cheats for a game, simultaneously. They easily would mop the floor with the robot from Iron Giant.

Well, we don't really know how the Giant would react when faced with a REAL threat, like life-or-death, do we? He could become more powerful than anything we've seen.

I guess you could say the missile heading toward the town was a life-or-death situation but the Giant had already associated his weapons with being bad and liked the idea of Superman. So who knows what he would have done if Hogarth hadn't trained him to suppress his weapons. According to a deleted scene, it's suggested that the Giant's weapons have the capacity to wipe out the entire solar system.

No, he reverted to his original programming (the bump on his head straightened out). Iron Giant _is_ a weapon. An immensely powerful weapon, possibly sent here to destroy us. Something went wrong, however. Something during the transit, the atmospheric entry or the impact which made him "forget" what or who he is. Hogarth essentially teaches him that he can be humane and doesn't have to be a weapon, which he remembers in this scene.

jackrios4040 the biggest question i have is how does rage cause a bump on its head disappear

For a 1999 film I'd call this animation pretty good.

I agree with you this is still one of my favorites

+Chase Hiltz for any film this is really good. I wouldn't call it the best but the fact that it's 17 years old and still looks great says a lot

You know this movie will always hold a special place in my heart. For it was the first Scifi movie I ever saw

+hoilst I can agree more!!

apotheos1s If liberty prime was developed by the Enclave! XD

I wouldn't be surprised if Liberty Prime from Fallout was based off of the Iron Giant.

I don't hear any anti-communist speeches..... ;) Good reference, tho!

Xicor.Lord.2016 __ fun fact Bethesda actually based him off of the iron giant

XLEGIONX _cnc Like I said, not really surprising.

mansley died from his car crashing into the giants foot

"Mansley”

@@SlavicUnionGaming No he didn't He was wearing a helmet Also the general told his soldiers to make sure he stayed in case the bomb actually hit

Jampolo And he probably got arrested and sentenced to prison for lying to the army and government and nearly almost killed everyone because of his selfishness, stubbornness and pride.

Maxx Gunner fuck prison, he ordered a nuclear strike on American soil. He was more than likely executed

Humans naturally love justice and hate injustice. The Giant resonates with both of those values in one primal scream that only a soul filled to the brim with rage and grief could utter. And then he gives catharsis to those emotions by finally exacting full, irresistible vengeance upon his wrongdoers.

@@OneBiasedOpinion As I kid all I could understand is sadness from the scene. As an adult however we learn futility and I think that's why it made me tear up.

Not to forget his moment was pure rage and then when he returns to his normal self the panic in his voice is great

Thank Fast and Furious and Riddick and xXx actor Vin Diesel

Yup bin family diesel

I find it funny how Vin Diesel is mostly famous for playing live-action tough-guy action heroes, but probably his most impactful roles are voicing few simple words spoken by huge brutish simple-minded extra-terrestrials of iron or wood who grow hearts over the course of their respective movies, ultimately sacrificing themselves for their new-found friends. Vin Diesel growls out a few words that bring the toughest of guys to tears: "I go. You stay. No Following." "We Are Groot."

And then the anger and pure untamed rage

the poor tank loaders...

Commanders and maybe the gunner could’ve got lucky if they where on the top but screw the driver and the unlucky crew

​@@sniptaclar5568 nah man for that much overpressure to flip a tank 20 ft everyone inside was strawberry jam

0:35 Those guys absolutely died.

​​@@armorpro573 Movies almost always forgo realism due to lack of research, and most people don't know that there's more than two men inside the average American tank. I myself used to think that tanks only had one driver and one machine gun operator and that all the other functions like reloading of the main cannon were done automatically with machinery. Besides, you can find plenty of cartoons and games where tanks are operated by only one or two guys, so I don't think there's any reason to assume that this movie is any more accurate, especially since it's supposed to be family-friendly and I can point out other things in it that aren't accurately depicted.

And the General's soldiers too. They were only trying to defend their country.

@@warrioroflight6872 The only thing they're really aware of is some guy from homeland security says there was a giant robot and after they thought it was just a prop it turned out to be real.

EXACTLY. Even now, I keep rooting for the Giant to just smash him.....

Mansley wasn’t a bad guy either

@@warrioroflight6872 Many innocent soldiers died in that one scene

Especially once he recognizes hogarth and he does that deep inhale of emotion because he knew he fucked up. Gets me everytime

He actually has a soul. The pitch for the movie was "what if a gun had a soul and didn't want to be a gun" so maybe he can cry

+Flare Wiz Oh and that part where my brain goes back to normal is my remembrance of that song.

Whoever says that... (loads shotgun)

+Flare Wiz Or when someone says "That's Life."

31 that scream tho

yep

Just even saying that word then adding iron giant next is enough

Amen

As a kid? I'm 19 and still cry

@@solaire2271 im 24, likewise

I'm 50 and... dammit why did the comment section get blurry all of the sudden?

Good names

Hey, did you get that idea after seeing what I named them?

Power Rangers Probably...

well hogarth did tell him everybody dies or something along those lines. Maybe he wanted to confirm lol

That reminds me, how did he dent his head when cannon shells from a battleship can't?

Country Blumpkin because he fell millions of miles towards earth from space

But he still want to shut at Hogarth

Tbf it did crash land on the earth also he survived a nuclear bomb

It did nothing, but was powerful enough to get his attention. Of course he's made from some incredible Alien metallic alloy

@@username.exenotfound2943 Also it got electrocuted and still ran after a certain boy turned off the power.

Those were Iowa’s?

I doubt those were Iowas they were probably heavy cruisers armed with 8 inch guns(203mm)

They'd be thinking WW3 has commenced

Probably went everything silent, not fucking with them

USSR like "Holy crap, let's just stay out of this one."

The USSR would probably think it's one of the US's super weapons that went absolutely fucking wrong in every way

Wow! I actually never noticed that!

It says even more when, after claiming everything he was doing was in defence of his Country and ordering the missile launch (against the General's orders) and realising he had effectively targeted himself as well, he tried to run away shouting "Sc**w our country! I wanna live!"

Emmett Brown from Back to the Future has the same dynamic.

Dean's character was great

It helps a lot that Dean is very much part of the beatnik community, an outcasted group undermined for their lack of conformity to societal norms (the very norms Mansley represents). He [Dean] sees a lot of himself in Hogarth, who was moved up a grade for being far smarter than his age would suggest. It doesn't faze him that the kid is a bit of an oddball, even taking into account his relationship with a 50-foot-tall alien war machine. To him, the world could use more unconventional types rather than the inflexible, married-to-the-rules types that leave no room for personal autonomy or outside-the-box thinking (concepts that allow the Giant to break free from his programming).

Dean reminded me alot of my late Dad he was welder like Dean

@@jldog134 im sorry :( hes in heaven looking down on u right now

He really does direct works of art

Eternal respect to Brad bird

You fucking think?! This is my favorite movie.

He's a legend.

for a moment i read ''The Incredibles'' as ''The Imbeciles''

Killjoy45 he hit it every time too, the giant is impervious though lol. Dudes a crackshot

Killjoy45 I never noticed that until now. Amazing!

Hes the goddamn general for a reason

DillaWorld lol even had to reload

He has common sense

LOL remember the part where Dean had a squirrel in his pants and there was you know expresso hahaha that was funny hahaha bye now sorry

I wondered how much of that animation was based on Vin Diesel's recording performance?

@@JebHoge Probably had more to do with Brad Bird peering around the corner and stepping in with a taser when necessary

Same

That’s why he’s a general, he can fight as well as command

He’s got mad skills. Don’t fuck with the General.

Damn I've only realised that now and I've watched this loads.

He reload the gun to.

Not to mention he’s pragmatic enough to hear Dean out when the Giant returns. Hell if Mansley hadn’t launched that nuke, the Giant and the general probably would have talked out what the Giant was.

Good eye!!

Garry McMhastegut apparently his Emotions can control the Earth's Sky

Very good eye. It could be that or the effects of the sunset though

Good Boi MarkV the sunset didnt animate itself

DatOneNoder it’s a metaphor for how angry The Iron Giant is getting, it’s pretty obvious lol
