Yep, great scene, opening from "Always". Here, Al Yackey (played by John Goodman) is filling up his Catalina water-bomber for another fire fighting run.
AND HIS JOHNSON outboard wouldn't start...THEN the PBY just missed him...I bet I've watched this video a hundred times over the years,always a good laugh,THERES one with a BF-109,the girl causes it to crash by throwing her rake into the propeller as he flys by...
I had something like that happen to be for real when I was a boy . The Provincial Park float plane would come and land at the lake I fished in . The little boat only had a three horse powered engine so not fast and like those guys in the clip not running . Most often the plane would fly low over the lake so we knew it was coming in to land and make way but not that one time. Wow I nearly jumped out of the boat.
Let's watch the plane for a while before we decide what to do. "Hey bubba, wake up, Hey bubba, ya think that's a plane coming toward us?" "I dunno, maybe. Whaddya think we should do?" "I dunno, whadda YOU think we should do?"
Fisherman: oh its the Game Warden again no wait its the water tankers used in those wildfire missions. Wait a minute why is he getting closer, oh🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 intensify forward fire power! Pilot: Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!! Larry: Too late! (Jumps out)
That's my favorite movie Always. I especially like when the ghost guy (i can't think of the actors name) talks to the homeless signs guy. Hilarious. I'm going to search for that video on youtube next.
On a side note sadly Evinrude which is Johnson sister company went out of business late 2020.RIP Evinrude Outboard motor company 1907-2020...113 years of dependable services.
I dunno I’d say they actually were very close. You can see the boats reflection passing on the underneath of the plane very shortly after it lifts off.
@ dutchvolvofan : Obviously staged, but very very well done!!! BTW, was that filmed as part of a film or for television? I ask that because it is obvious that both the equipment and the operators are professional. Long focal large aperture lenses, very stable camera positions, excellent focus... Are there multiple cameras or is this a montage?
it's from the opening credits of the movie "Always" Always is a 1989 romantic drama film directed by Steven Spielberg, and starring Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, John Goodman, introducing Brad Johnson and featuring Audrey Hepburn's cameo in her final film appearance. The film was distributed by Universal Studios and United Artists.
In 1979 a tired plane crashed extinguishing a fire in the town of Chiguayante, I saw it for the last time moments before when it was collecting water in the San Pedro lagoon, qepd the crew of that plane
I remember when this accident happened. I knew the pilot of the Grumman Goose . He told me the story he was landing at Avalon in a swell and he could not see the skiff due to the wave action. The two men that passed away were dentists from Newport Beach. He always had to live with the regret.
Let me guess......HUGE close up of the JOHNSON outboard, NOT starting.........i'm guessing an EVINRUDE AD ? Or maybe MERCURY ?? Any other brand outbaord would have started first pull and they could get away in time......YADDA YADDA YADDA.......aren't the ADDED ad's in videos enough ??? Do we really need some more ADS uploaded as videos.
That scene must've had a lot of out-takes... I know it's staged for a movie of something, but I would've shit my pants long before that plane managed to take off again :L
Cena do filme ALÉM DA ETERNIDADE com Richard Dreyfus onde o Catalina PBY ao amerrissar na água dá o toque e arremetida em cima dos pescadores na canoa no lago 🛬🚣♀️🗻ângulo de pouso muito bem calculado muita perícia e arrojo do Piloto 🇧🇷😎🛩👨✈️😄🤩💙🙏👍👏👏👏🤝💪
@@kyleboatright7403 No. I'm the actor in the front of the 10 ft tin boat with the 6 hrp Johnson. Notice we were actually anchored in shallow water, not in a deep bay/open water which would have been required for that water bomber. We were instructed when to act, how to act, at specific times. Originally we were told all was being filmed for a Coors beer commercial. When the Coors company backed out, all video was shelved. It was later sold to a web package. Dont believe everything you see. It's not real.
@@markhancock6694 A water bomber needs surprisingly little water. They have probes which scoop the water and only need a few feet of depth to do their thing, because the airplane just skims the surface. But I'm intrigued by your information. Are you saying they spliced your boat into the airplane shot (or vice versa) with Hollywood magic? This was the opening scene for the movie Always, released in 1989. Here's a link to a better copy of the video featured above: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-upPHSDqj5x0.html I don't see an obvious splice, but anything is possible in Hollywood.
@@markhancock6694 I'd bet a nickle. No, a stack of 'em that you're wrong. The dynamics of the airplane are perfect, from the rudder work, to the yawing motion, to the pitching when it touches the water. The CGI folks aren't that good even 30 years later, and CGI was in its infancy then. It ain't CGI. Maybe they found a way to stitch two shots together, but even the spray and such as the airplane passes over the boat is too perfect for there not to have been an airplane overflying the boat. Now, they may have played fast and loose with the cuts, but I'm convinced there was an airplane and a boat...
Opening scene to Always so nothing new to see nobody gets hurt and it's called a stunt using a telephoto lens so distances look closer than they were... move along nothing to see!
Not funny! I lost my first cousin just this way! he was hit by a small airplane when he and his son where fishing, the pilot never seen him!? he threw his son in the water but was hit! his son made it.
Odd they would have a long range, wide aperture lens perfectly focused and stabilized on the fishermen when an aircraft that obviously sees them is making a scoop on the lake. While I enjoyed the opening scene, my friends were singing the praises of this movie while I thought it was simply stupid. The best thing was seeing Audrey one last time.... I left the room and found a deck of cards and played solitaire for the last twenty minutes of the film.
