That Time James Cameron Destroyed a Real Bridge | True Action 

YESSS! Was about to write that!!

No the pacing is too slow. This video could have been treemed down to 12min and it would have been really great. But that sloow pacing just makes it boring and that's a shame, cause this the type of video that I could enjoy.

Professional documentary quality

@@Alhmaleonn Could not disagree with you more. This is the type of video I enjoy. Immensely. I hope he continues with many more

Movie name please

Thanks for sharing that! Some classic films he contributed too, awesome!

My condolences 🙏🏻

What up Whistlindiesel! lol Weird seeing you here

Yo whistlin can I have a cool 3k cuz why not?

Woah, didnt expect to see Cody, WhistlinDiesel! 👋

Really appreciate it bro, but I won’t be content until you find the guy that stole your dad’s skidloader

Came to the comments to say the same thing.

Hey Jake 👋

ABSOLUTE MASTERCLASS!!!!!💯

masterclass smart horse, yeah !

now that's a compliment if I've ever seen one

Wait this was 25 mins?? Ha

Yeah.. yeah this is exactly my thought.

No words more to describe except what a homage and what a rush! Gotta love this guy every moment so meticulous and creative. 🍷

Just finished TL and couldn't be happier to watch this video. And agree with comment above, goosebumps with the modern day movie montage. Amazing!

Dude, your reply made me realize it had been 25 minutes.

@@devverma144 It didn’t even feel like 10 minutes

I disagree. I find it one of the most irritating videos on youtube I watched in a long time. The build up is taking way way too long.

Apart from contrete

My soul was touched too :D

i thought i was the only one...

Extremely gay

Just a shame its few and far between. Most are lazy.

It was more about making a case for current day filmmaking and the fact that in camera action sequences are still very much a thing. But I couldn't agree with you more. I recently saw a clip from Buster Keaton where the front of a house falls on top of him only for him to remain completely unscathed because he was standing where the opening for window landed. Unreal.

@@paul_et Jackie Chan pays homage to that Buster Keaton stunt in the finale of Project A 2. Worth checking out if you haven’t seen it!

These are huge miniatures! No wonder the physics look like a full sized truck flying through the air!

Can you tell that Jim got his start working in Corman's special effects and miniatures department, because it seems obvious after watching a lot of BTS footage on his films.

I've heard plenty about his perfectionism, but it comes at a cost to everyone involved. Just ask Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.

@@DJ-Daz The Abyss was the first time JC bit off more than he could chew and that nightmarish production really amplified his autocratic approach to direction at the time, especially when under so much pressure after countless technical problems, inflating budget, looming deadlines and some scary equipment failures (including Cameron himself who nearly drowned due to a faulty scuba mask). Even so, it's hard to argue with the results. Ed Harris and Mastrantonio gave some of their best, if not THE best performances of their careers and those scenes still play out in my mind whenever I think of those actors. Thankfully JC has mellowed a bit over the years, partly due to his experiences leading deep sea expeditions, but also after spending some time working with Ron Howard who he greatly admired for how he conducts himself as a director on set. He said he tries to "channel his inner Ron Howard" these days, and maybe that's true. When genuine goodhearted mensches like Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet and others keep returning to play in his sandbox, despite his demanding reputation in the past, it's likely a good sign. I never thought I'd ever see Kate Winslet in another JC film after the challenges of Titanic.

@@tronam I stand corrected

@AfterBurnett I stand corrected, again

They’re the absolute dream team! And lucky you, what a way to snag your first film credit. You certainly had me convinced the missile was practical (even though that’s completely impractical when you think about it). I’d love to pick your brain on your experiences working at DD and beyond sometime if you’d be up for it?

Wha… you’ve never seen 10 hour nyan cat to the very end?

don't act like you haven't wanted to ride in an elevator riding a horse🤣🤣🤣

Hi there

If Tony Zhou (Every Frame A Painting) can go from youtube essays to making Voir with David Fincher for Netflix, it's definitely not out of the question.

He cherrypicked the best examples he could over a two decade period, including films like Fury Road that literally won Oscars for its use of practical effects. It's a little misleading in my opinion to show only the highlights when there's been a clear industrywide trend away from practical and towards CG.

@@Reid52the point he’s making is that the best films of the era post-90s that stick in our memories are the ones that still focus heavily on practical in-camera work. so yea. that’s why he cherry-picked. he wasn’t trying to say it’s all just as good now as it was back then. but also don’t forget there was plenty of total shit back then too. for every cameron there were at least 50 garbage directors.

as did I even though I have no familiarity with the bridge. Just because films have been given permission to explode old structures. That building implosion at the start of Lethal Weapon 3 is real. The structure was I think a city hall scheduled for controlled demolition and the film helped pay for it so that they could film it.

I know right ..🍷No words more to describe except what a homage and what a rush! Gotta love this guy what a talent every moment so meticulous and creatively magical.

RU-vid recommendations really have a great sense of humor.

So you guess it was movie special effects too? 🧐

for me, it was after the key bridge :/

fire the missiles of war!!!!!!

sameeee I was about to jump to the coments when I started to get goosebumbs after that ending

That's what makes the entire movie so great It's got an almost tongue in cheek seriousness in the action hero stuff (IE the mac 10 tumbling down the stairs) a sitcom style chemistry (and initial premise) that you can't convince me wasn't the inspiration for American Dad, plus the fact that the movie is seriously just James Cameron making action sequence after action sequence. I swear to god there's no way a 2000+ era producer would EVER accept the script with practical effects, hell it might get turned down because doing this in CG would still be too expensive.

Her father must have been extremely proud seeing her daughter go all out in this movie including performing some of her own stunts!

hahaha
