Here is Part Two Rescue scene from the movie highlights from the Classic Film starring Kirk Douglasand Martin Sheen in this amazing film on the U.S.S Nimitz. Heading back to 1941. Stay tune more great highlights coming soon.
I always loved this sequence. Real Navy Rescue Diving Ops. The whole movie is a well made recruitment poster...and it worked! Not a job, but an adventure! Go Navy!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Remember those two bombs we dropped on your country? Oh, wait, we haven’t done that yet. Anyhow, we don’t just have two. We have a dozen. Oh, and each one is about fifty times as powerful. Cheers! *confused Japanese pilot*
Better Hollywood than the other way around. Saves the girl, gets the dog. Reminds me of that very old beer commercial where some dude comes sliding out from under a car, all greased up and sweaty. There's a beautiful young woman in short-shorts and a tight blouse smiling at him offering a cold bottle of beer. As the dude begins to drink the beer the narrator says, " Sometimes there's nothing better than a cold beer and a warm woman." A wag says, "A lot better than a warm beer and a cold woman." 😅

lol the terror that pilot would feel after seeing f 14s in action then seeing how many were on deck. the Japanese fleet wouldn't stand a chance against a modern carrier
I always thought that they should have had a fly by of the Japanese fleet. That would have been a good explanation of why they turned around and went home.
Love the time-warp theme. There's a problem with continuity. If this would've happened on December 6-7, 1941, Sen. Chapman wouldn't be there. He died on Jan. 17, 1941, 11 months EARLIER! Unless he came back from the dead, there's NO WAY the Senator is Sen. Chapman. So much for historical accuracy.
Maybe in this continuity Sen. Chapman was written off as lost at sea and presumed dead due to the events of the film with a cover story being disseminated to the populace.
Hey Burco1, If you liked Kirk Douglas calling the Japanese pilot a "little bastard" then you'll love this: on the second disc of this DVD one of the F-14 pilots that filmed the stunts said that if it were possible, just TWO(!) fully loaded F-14's could have taken out the entire World War II Japanese Fleet.
@@rascallyrabbit717 Nope. Antiships harpoon missiles were released in 1977 and could strike a target from more than 200 kms away. Japanese flak has always been subpar throughout WW2, it wouldn't have been a real threat to 80s jets and even less if those jets had sent their bombs from over the horizon. 3 to 4 intruders bombers could have sunk the 6 carriers, 2 battleships, 2 cruisers and dozen destroyers of the 1941 Nagumo's strike force with ease. Naval firepower has grown 1000 times over within 40 years, and even more so now.
I doubt it. The F-14 was an interceptor. The "Bombcat" upgrade (an F-14B with LANTIRN or the F-14D) did not flight until the 90's. In other words, when that movie was film, the F-14 was a pure air-to-air combat aircraft.
@@vlad78th A similar battle between modern jet fighters and WW2-era fighter planes also happened in a Japanese light novel and its web novel version. In Nihonkoku Shoukan (Summoning Japan), 12 F-15J Kais and 15 Mitsubishi F-2s of the JASDF destroyed 85 Antares fighter planes (isekai Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero) of the Gra Valkas Empire. EDIT: The battle between the Antares fighters and the Japanese Eagles is not included in Vol. 5 of Nihonkoku Shoukan (but included in Vol. 6 which will be out in Nov. or Dec. 2019) but it is already in the web novel version. The Gra Valkas Empire sent its entire main fleet to punish Japan because they've realized that Japan is the real threat for their planned world domination in the New World. Japan's tech level in the story is 21st century (2015 and fast improving) while GVE is early WW2 technology level (no jets, no helis, no Tiger Tank-level armor, no Assault Rifle and other late-WW2 era technology). So in other words, the GVE Invasion Fleet will be destroyed completely by just conventional weapon's fire power? The GVE Invasion Fleet's number is comparable to the US Fleet that invaded Okinawa.
All the years I have watched this film, I never notice a continuity break: Helicopter 736 off-loads Sen Chapman, his secretary, and the dog. Helicopter 733 is shown landing behind 736. 733, we assume had the Japanese pilot on board, since he was not picked up with the Chapman party. Next we see the Japanese pilot exiting, not from 733, but from the side door of 736.
Right. Right after 733 lands, 736 lifts off the deck again, and this is the helo the Japanese pilot exits from, but then we see 733 lifting off the deck with 736 circling in the background.
So, Hollywood is not perfect; never was and never will be. There are a lot of safeguards to ensure authenticity but bloopers always get through. This movie was a US Navy recruitment film as much as a sci-fi film. Great entertainment. Not historically accurate. Never really happened except in a movie theater and your mind. Enjoy the view of the forest and forget some of the trees are misnumbered.
Dang it. After dozens of viewings, I just noticed that they used 736 for the unloading scenes of the survivors and the Japanese pilot. Fire the continuity girl!
There's also an error during the zero intercept. The two Tomcats have nose numbers 202 and 203, yet the Tomcat that fired the missile had nose number 200.
Japanese radio of the time tended to be horrendous, not because they were poorly designed, but because the aircraft weren't designed to accommodate them properly.
They prepare to fight but the storm returns and they are lucky to recover the aircraft. KAG is lost while putting the senator and girl on a safe island out of the way.
@fist306 So that they do the same if one of our pilots is floating in the water, it's part of the Geneva Convention. Sharks and exposure are nasty ways to kill the enemy.
the only thing i don't like is that they had to go back through the time storm before they were able to engage with the japanese fleet but then again they used the strict timeline theory where if it happened once than it had to happen so basically the storm whisked them away before they could change history.
Interestingly enough Nimitz may have struggled more to adapt to 1941 if she went back from 2020 than she would have from 1980. Remember there was no GPS at the time, no internet, no laser guided bombs, no drones, no smart phones and sat com was a lot more primitive than it is today. While her technology by 1941 standards was incredibly impressive it was a lot less smart tech reliant than our modern navy. Something as simple as running a Google search, or looking up a Wiki page to get specific information about a personality or an event of the time period would have been impossible. Back in those days before the internet if I needed a piece of information I had to look it up in a book, and while I have been reading about history since I was 10 and have been complimented many times on my exceptional memory I can promise you I wouldn't want to risk men's lives based on my memory alone if I could help it.
Video Dailymotion. Or Daily Motion, or whatever its called. Google up the like, along with " The Final Countdown ", and you should have it in full. Dunno what the ads situation is, but its the entire movie.
Right now you can watch it here on RU-vid (free). Somebody posted it in August 2020 and as of 12-16-20 it's still up. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UZRuMRHX6yY.html
@jbravo70 You have a great argument there....however, what about the lives of the jet pilots, they'd never see their families again, what do you say to one of the pilot's kids---"I didn't let your daddy come home because I wanted him to protect people who should have died?". The captain did the right thing, but I agree, I wouldn't have wanted to do it.
Both were the new current planes because the Nimitz time traveled due to a freak storm in the movie. The zeros were probably from the Confederate Airforce Collection based at that time out of Harlingen Texas.
When I first saw the trailers for the movie they showed the -14’s actually attacking some B5N’s. Other than it being a navy movie, that was one of the reasons why I wanted to go see it.. Don’t suppose there are deleted scenes existing somewhere??
going in at night and sinking all japanese ships would be the easiest solution. there would be no AA fire whatsoever. not that it would pose much of a risk. the confusion created would be phenomenal. with the anti submarine tech aboard a modern aircraft carrier the next logical move would be to the atlantic. the german surface fleet could then be destroyed followed by the U Boats. the pens they kept the remaining U Boats in would be of little protection against modern bunker busters. destroying key targets would be easily done again at night. or simply have a flight of F14's go over berlin and tokyo to let them know what there up against. would be enough to make them reconsider the whole issue.
Yes, they could sink every ship in the task force. But, then what? They could sail for Japan and hit most of the remainder of the Imperial Fleet. Soon, the Nimitz would run out of fuel and ammo with no prospect of replacement for years.
***** the ship itself wouldn't run out of fuel but the jets would. they contact the pentagon then begin making the supplies they need. there are more than enough engineers and technicians aboard any aircraft carrier to get things happening. also remember the nimitz carries nukes.
Sure. Reverse engineering could take awhile. Plus the missiles and ammo would require the machinery to make them. Also would the populace be as fired up about a war with Germany if we just annihilated the threat from Japan. Not trying to argue. I love alternative history!
1. Eu sou a videira verdadeira, e meu Pai é o viticultor. 2. Toda vara em mim que não dá fruto, ele a corta; e toda vara que dá fruto, ele a limpa, para que dê mais fruto. 3. Vós já estais limpos pela palavra que vos tenho falado. 4. Permanecei em mim, e eu permanecerei em vós; como a vara de si mesma não pode dar fruto, se não permanecer na videira, assim também vós, se não permanecerdes em mim. 5. Eu sou a videira; vós sois as varas. Quem permanece em mim e eu nele, esse dá muito fruto; porque sem mim nada podeis fazer. 6. Quem não permanece em mim é lançado fora, como a vara, e seca; tais varas são recolhidas, lançadas no fogo e queimadas. 7. Se vós permanecerdes em mim, e as minhas palavras permanecerem em vós, pedi o que quiserdes, e vos será feito. 8. Nisto é glorificado meu Pai, que deis muito fruto; e assim sereis meus discípulos. 9. Como o Pai me amou, assim também eu vos amei; permanecei no meu amor. 10. Se guardardes os meus mandamentos, permanecereis no meu amor; do mesmo modo que eu tenho guardado os mandamentos de meu Pai, e permaneço no seu amor. 11. Estas coisas vos tenho dito, para que o meu gozo permaneça em vós, e o vosso gozo seja completo. 12. O meu mandamento é este: Que vos ameis uns aos outros, assim como eu vos amei. 13. Ninguém tem maior amor do que este, de dar alguém a sua vida pelos seus amigos. 14. Vós sois meus amigos, se fizerdes o que eu vos mando. 15. Já não vos chamo servos, porque o servo não sabe o que faz o seu senhor; mas chamei-vos amigos, porque tudo quanto ouvi de meu Pai vos dei a conhecer. 16. Vós não me escolhestes a mim mas eu vos escolhi a vós, e vos designei, para que vades e deis frutos, e o vosso fruto permaneça, a fim de que tudo quanto pedirdes ao Pai em meu nome, ele vo-lo conceda. 17. Isto vos mando: que vos ameis uns aos outros. 18. Se o mundo vos odeia, sabei que, primeiro do que a vós, me odiou a mim. 19. Se fôsseis do mundo, o mundo amaria o que era seu; mas, porque não sois do mundo, antes eu vos escolhi do mundo, por isso é que o mundo vos odeia. 20. Lembrai-vos da palavra que eu vos disse: Não é o servo maior do que o seu senhor. Se a mim me perseguiram, também vos perseguirão a vós; se guardaram a minha palavra, guardarão também a vossa. 21. Mas tudo isto vos farão por causa do meu nome, porque não conhecem aquele que me enviou. 22. Se eu não viera e não lhes falara, não teriam pecado; agora, porém, não têm desculpa do seu pecado. 23. Aquele que me odeia a mim, odeia também a meu Pai. 24. Se eu entre eles não tivesse feito tais obras, quais nenhum outro fez, não teriam pecado; mas agora, não somente viram, mas também odiaram tanto a mim como a meu Pai. 25. Mas isto é para que se cumpra a palavra que está escrita na sua lei: Odiaram-me sem causa. 26. Quando vier o Ajudador, que eu vos enviarei da parte do Pai, o Espírito da verdade, que do Pai procede, esse dará testemunho de mim; 27. e também vós dareis testemunho, porque estais comigo desde o princípio. (João, 15).
Changing history, if we could do it, is a very dangerous thing. What happens, for example, if you are driving a car and hit a pedestrian who crosses at the wrong place and time. That pedestrian turned out to be your grandfather and your father wasn't conceived yet. History would go coo-coo for your family. You wouldn't exist either so how could you have been driving the car that killed your young grandfather? But, you did. Time travel, if possible, would be OK if you were invisible and only watched it happen/unfold. No tampering with the time line.
The Japanese guy shooting the place up didnt make sense. 1st why would the guard be so close, especially with out another guard to back him up.and the guard must have had a round already chambered, the safety off and the weapon in auto mode. Either that or some random guy from 1941 in a split second knew how to operate a weapon hed never seen. That and the senator not having a clue what a helicopter is always bugged me. He was on the military committee and at least the concept of a helicopter was far from unknown.
I said that on another thread and everyone was griping and moaning about how they'd ruin it with CGI and explosions. Hard to argue, but my concern was how the hell do you replace Kirk Douglas? (Please, not Woody Harrelson)
That's whay they have to re-make this movie. It was such a teaser to have almost attacked the Japanese fleet. If we re-make it, lets actually attack those "little Bastards!" LOL.
