@@lylelylecrocodile2538 well, if i'm not mistake he has another channel dedicarles to alternate history

Please tell me you didn't say that sentence out loud

I watched the movie with my dad at home and thought it was Whitehouse down, I saw Morgan freeman on an Olympus has fallen cover and thought it was a brand new movie becuase I didn't remember what his role was and forgot he was in the movie. I remember wanting to go and watch it and until today didn't know I had actually seen Olympus has fallen.

If i didn't watched this video i would've still believe "white house down" was "olympus has fallen", with that being said i have to watch the latter since now i realized i never did It also happened years ago with a movie about a martial arts tournament, the movie i watched had a scene with the friend of the protagonist being cut in half "kung lao fatality style" with a sword and died, but months later i watched a movie really similar with same actors and all that thinking i was watching the same movie, but after the friend lost the fight the protagonist goes to visit him to a hospital and blew my mind(almost literally) The dude was cut in half like a pork in a butcher shop, and he ends up in a hospital??? wtf is this? mortal kombat/adult swim parody?! It felt like being in an altered timeline like back to the future

For a while I genuinely thought "London Has Fallen" was a weird sequel of "White House Down". I literally only remember a guy and the white house in it and watching the sequel I was like "Yep, that checks out"

@@GarkKahn lol I know what the second movie that you’re talking about is. It was “Bloodsport”. Was pretty good, but the acting was pretty corny. But that’s pretty much any 80s movie. Not sure what the first movie that you’re talking about is tho with the guy getting cut in half.

I mean, it’d be a real dick move if he did :P. “My wife died, you’re to blame even though nothing could be done. Demoted :P.”

Yeah. It was honestly a more realistic trauma response than you usually see in a movie like that. Its Mike who blames himself. Ben knows he did everything he could but...he just cant have him there.

Cinemasins once sinned them both at the same time as a joke once.

that would be a very fast realization because one president is locked in a bunker knowing nuclear codes and the other guy who is not obama at all and doesn't want children bombarded is joyriding and firing rocket launchers and last time anyone checked america has only one president at a time

Every now and then I think the footage was shown side by side and then flipped, and I couldn't tell which movie was which

You do realize they warned them than got killed right 2nd of all we enough artilery you could kill thousands of armed indiviuduals

‘Entire airforce within 100 miles of DC’ what happened on 9/11 that nullified a trillion dollar defence system then? The US has the best air defence in the world but why didn’t it work the only time it was needed?

@@davoROC 9/11 has been THE turning point. Before that flying secyrity was much, much more relaxed. In the 1980's you could even smoke aboard some planes, the pilot compartment was not separared from the rest of the plane (passengers could enter) and security checks in airports were borderline nonexistent. Nobody ever seriously thought about the possibility that a plane could be hijacked and used for a terror attack of that scale. The military was completely caught by surprise. Nowdays, if a plane even shortly diverges from its path, fighter jets immediately fly to intercept it. It happened just 3 or 4 years ago here in europe. There's no chance whatsoever that a plane could even think about getting close to the white house without getting blown to smithereens.

Who are the villains in the book?

@@SIGNOR-G it was written during the war on terror, so its a group of terrorists. It's a pretty good read! It's more realistic than the movies though, because the author met with former secret service agents and former SEALs so he could get the combat scenes right.

@@Krag-Jorgensen30-40 thats very interesting. Im gonna give it a read just to see how the author describes the hand to hand combat.

Olympus has fallen is a freaking masterpiece of filmmaking compared to White House down. Even not compared to it Olympus has fallen is still a very good action movie.

i recently saw white house down and it's so bad that you can't even enjoy it for what it is. Some movies are just popcorn and you turn your brain off and have a good time, well not with white house down. Terrible movie, waste of potential, waste of good actors (Jamie Foxx) and atrocious cgi. I fking hated it.

One had a white hero. The other had a black hero.

@@neglectfulsausage7689 you're kidding right

@@movieman175 What, you mad you're blind?

You know wouldn't be surprised if this actually happened.

I think white house down was a winning spec script from a black list contest, so it may have been a cheap way to get a story.

NGL, I’d say there’s a high probability of that with how lazy Hollywood execs can be. They just have to see that ending flare and go, “alright, that’s my next movie”.

I like to think it happened twice, exactly the same way

@@akshatgupta4817 hesjoking

So how it usually happens is a writer pitches a script to producer A. Producer A says nah I don’t want to buy your script, I’m passing. Then when the writer leaves Producer A goes to his staff writers and has them make a similar movie. Then writer goes to producer B and producer B likes the movie and buys the script. This isn’t a conspiracy this is basically how it happens. I used to work in the film industry, I’ve seen this happen and know people it has happened to.

Well, you aren't special; everyone noticed. Literally.

The only thing I remember is Melissa Leo's "I pledge alliegance to the flag" while being dragged away and the movie acting like it was supposed to be taken seriously.

I mean, the protag probably lived during the time it was called a hash instead of hashtag.

It was called a pound sign before Twitter.

In my country the hashtag was referred to as "the ladder" up until a few years back

I swear, I'd be laughing if it turns out that those codes happen to be the exact ones used for the White House....

Kinda like in the Die Hard movies. Especially die hard with a vengeance

Interesting twist

you know this trilogy was actually just Morgan Freeman's ASCENSION to SUPREME LORD of the USA right ??? man literally went from secretary of state (3rd in command) to VP (2nd in command) and to ACTUAL PREZ (first in command) throughout the course of the films ~ not sure if it was a subtle Obama promotion or whatever but I guess some people like it :O

​@@Noizemaze4 I like Morgan Freeman, I don't like Obama. One is way more charismatic.

The biggest element of fantasy for me is that anybody would actually care about politicians dying. If I was at The White House when terrorists attack, the last thing I would do is protect a politician. I'd grab a sandwich and head out.

Not to mention mid-air detonation allows for fallout radiation to be carried further out. Which could be either a good or a bad thing, depending on the goal.

Well Olympus is the actual codeword used for the White House.

They heard 'Blackhawk Down' and just figured that's how all government and military would say stuff. But 'White House' would likely have a Code Name, like the President does, like SOOOOOO many things do. So it makes the 'Olympus has fallen' more accurate than 'White House Down'... purely in terms of what might be sent out over a transmission by the Government. I think they figured a lot of people liked Blackhawk Down and this would stick in people's mind. Which is understandable. But 'Military People' are a small set of the American Population... as are 'Government People'. This is a Summer Blockbuster, you want ALL the people in the seats. So they actually went 0-2 on this, since "Olympus has fallen" is likely more accurate to this situation, AND has the "Olympus" reference to pull in the casual type. It turns out the ONLY group they really targeted was the 'Not Government or Military, but likes that kind of stuff' crowd that wouldn't know how codes and terms are applied. The way they named the movie only really reached the smallest group possible.

Grammar Correction: "shit is about to go down"

The way that you put it, it sounds more like an enlarged ego. As if the president could be compared to a Greek mythical god. Typical American way of thinking.

And you know how great the security is 😂

That’s funny u said that, for years I’ve known about this with comics, as I’ve explained to ppl when they say “marvel stole so and so and made a fake one or DC stole so and so..” and I told them most of the time back then these guys like jack kirby didn’t get paid much so they worked for both companies, alotta times just writing the same characters mirrored with different names to make a living never knowing just how popular they would become

@@teezwilliams22 I'll have to find it again, but if I recall right it was part of the extras on the Animated Fan 4 DVDs. To be fair some were blatant copies of a concept one passed on, after the other company picked up. So your aren't entirely wrong.

Joe Simon and Jack Kirby created the same character 3 times. Captain America, Fighting American, and Guardian.

​@@teezwilliams22It makes comics easier to read when you know that on each side, you have the same character waiting for you to pick up. Occasionally it depends on how popular they are

If you think about it, it should be pretty easy to brute force 3 codes because each code was just 7 characters from A-Z and 0-9. Heck I remembered even the Cerberus disable code is longer and actually has special characters in it

To be fair, they only gave up their codes because the President ordered them to. They were willing to die and were tortured, but the president told them to give up their codes because he could take listening to them be tortured.

That’s 36 possible characters for 7 spaces. For simpler math we are going to allow repeating characters in the code, giving us 36^7 options for each individual code or 78,364,164,096 different codes for a single person. Now if we can get a computer to run 1 million attempts per second it would take a maximum of 21.77 hours to crack a single code. To do it for all 3 codes, that’s a max time of 3.72 days. I think the system would just shut down at that point. But to the movie, how someone would be able to get the 3rd code based off the first 2 in a much shorter amount of time is beyond me. It’s not like there would be a pattern between the 3 codes. That wouldn’t make sense from a security standpoint.

@@Tall_dark_and_handsome possibly the opposite? "we can eliminate certain combinations based on these codes" which while is significantly more combinations then "we can piece these codes together" should significantly cut out a ton of combinations, especially if the codes can have no repeating numbers/letters (ie if one code has "p5" somewhere in it, "p5" can not be used again. still unbelievable but less unbelievable

Was going to say the same thing. Thanks.

Hey, you basically summed him up perfectly.

No better proof of that than Godzilla 98. Dude put cartoonish versions of Siskel and Ebert into the movie because they didn't like his movies and even then Siskel and Ebert were like "come on man, if you're going to go to that much trouble to mock us, you could've at least had Godzilla kill us"

He could never understand that his power would be fleeting as technology began to be better understood, and essentially has been trying to chase the success of Independence Day for 90% of his films, having worked a bit early on but quickly puttered out by the time 2012 came around. Now it's so bad that even lowest common denominator hopes couldn't say Moonfall from being one of the biggest box office bombs of all time. It's one thing to fail with something experimental or not known to draw big audiences, it's another thing to do so when your concept should be primed for even the most undemanding of viewers.

And people keep giving him money for some godforsaken reason.

The only movies by him that I'd consider being anywhere near good were "The 13th Floor" and "Stargate"...the rest was terrible (yes, I did not forget Independence Day...especially Independence Day)

7 NUKES

Yeah that's true. Both can be good or one is better than the other

Definitely, happens with all sorts of genres.

Everything Everywhere All at Once and Snooze of Madness are horrifically different in both execution and concept. One is just Dr. Strange chasing mcguffins to deal with a "baby crazy witch" and his need for female validation. And the other is an exploration on how technology impacts the average person, a rejection of nihilism, a heartfelt message on how to best resolve conflict, and a movie more blatantly and positively feminist than even Birds of Prey was. It feels downright disrespectful to compare the sexist PoS that was multiverse of madness to the genuine masterpiece that was Everything Everywhere All at Once.

they steal ideas. script gets pitched to several studios. only one can pick it up, so another hires someone to bang out an imitation script. no copyrights, because the script is unpublished. just have to avoid plagerization.

Javelins have a direct fire mode that allows them to shoot down helicopters, so it’s not too inaccurate

@@skyper8934 Its not a big surprise that a downgraded tank with insufficient crew and support being used poorly was taken out.

Soon to be more than a trilogy. Part 4 is called NIGHT HAS FALLEN and somehow 2 more were being planned to follow after that.

the takeover scene in White House Down was pretty good too, considerably less chaotic but seeing the mercs brisk walk through the White House taking out guards set a sort of interesting rhythm in a way

@@TalentCaldwell considering the US Capitol Building thing happened there are tons of more real world inspiration for these movies

When these movies came out white house down was considered the better movie, but it came out second so nobody saw it. Having said that, I recently watched white house down and its die hard. The literal ploy of die hard with minor changes

The sequels are a lot worse than White House Down. I definitely wouldn’t say this film has a “cult following”

I think IRL they would just deactivate the detonator mid-flight so it does not explode.

Of course the problem with being able to remotely scuttle rogue nukes IRL is that on paper 'anybody' can do it if they have sufficient capability to hack the nukes in flight and therefore completely nullify (or at least severely restrict) America's nuclear arsenal.

i mean it wouldnt make nuclear explosion but it would still fuck those silo up and make them unusable until repair are made kinda like in the opening of Red Alert 2 where the missiles are launch with the silo closed and all that happen is that the underground facility is really fucked up no nuclear explosion

yeah, plus i'm guessing that the majority of silos in the middle of nowhere, and heavily armoured so they yknow, aren't nuked themselves, which kinda means all you'd get is a bit of radiation in some farm in ohio. then again, that'd probably ruin all the crop yield and stuff but i'm not an expert.

It doesnt even mafter if the Nuke are armed or not, a explosion in a silo can create great damage, as what happen to a real life silo in Arkansas

Mourning for the next alternate timeline down the shit ladder that ended up with triplet films.

Wasn't that due to the copyright being up?

Most of that is due to copyright expirations on some big book IPs like Winnie the Pooh. Twin movies usually come from a studio denying a screenwriter's pitch for a movie and then stealing the idea and hiring someone cheaper to write it, like Armageddon & Deep Impact

Disney: Poop The one with Paulie Shore: Good poop Del Toro: Holy poop

@@gunargundarson1626 no pointless romantic subplot either

Nah, White House Down's more like a Michael Bay movie, with the unnecessary CG action and explosions, insufferable and naïve characters being taken hostage, and product placements that serve no purpose. At least with Olympus has Fallen, most of the action is occurring inside settings or has characters fighting through dialogue, while showing the intensity of the situation. Sure there are explosions but they're usually used for about 15 minutes of the movie.

@@osmanyousif7849 if you compare White House Down to Michael Bay the you don't know anything about Michael Bay

No every successful movie will have knock offs. Twin movies is specifically when both come out at the same time and are both big studio movies. It's not weird it's a pretty well known phenomenon. This video points out several examples in the beginning.

Nah this is by far not the first instance of two quite similar big budget movies released months apart. It happened a lot in the 90s: Volcano and Dantes Peak, Air Force One and Executive Decision, Armageddon and Deep Impact And maybe just all the Die Hard - like movies, there are a lot of them in the 90s.
