The Rock is an awesome movie

[Baboontyme 2809]

"Goodspeed to you read me?"

"This is Goodspeed."

"Are the hostages alive?"

"Everyone of them."

"What about Mason? Is he still alive?"

"He's dead, sir."

My wife has the entire movie memorized.  We were in Munich for Oktoberfest and had a couple channels at the hotel.  One was showing The Rock, dubbed in German.  She translated it for a good 20 minutes with decent accents. Was fantastic.

[KingBobo81 534]

Listen, I think we got off on the wrong foot. Stan Goodspeed, FBI. Uh, let's talk music. Do you like the Elton John song, "Rocket Man"?

What is wrong with these people, huh? Mason? Don't you think there's a lot of, uh, a lot of anger flowing around this island? Kind of a pubescent volatility? Don't you think? A lotta angst, a lot of "um ... I'm sixteen, I'm angry at my father" syndrome? I mean grow up! We're stuck on an island with a bunch of violence-for-pleasure-seeking psycophatic marines. SHAME! ON! THEM!

Oh, you - Oh, oh. Oh. Well, I only bring it up because, uh, it's you. You're the Rocket Man.

You chose...wisely.

Hi, I'm an agent with the Federal...FBI...well...I'm Stanley Goodspeed! 

But of course you are.

That's awesome.  On our honeymoon in Munich we caught Independence Day at the hotel in German.  That was funny!

Imagine that. Another terrible take from Greenspoint.

[FunkSoulBrother 930]

Instead of The Rock 2 we're getting Transformers and TMNT.

[Baboontyme 2809]

Con Air sucks. Completely unrealistic. The Rock is where it's at.

 Well it's certainly more enjoyable than my average day.  reading philosophy, avoiding gang rape in the washrooms... though, it's less of a problem these days. Maybe I'm losing my sex appeal.

[Dutchrudder 11133]

The car chase is so much fun! Hans Zimmer did a great job with the soundtrack, but parts of it sound like they were borrowed for the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack (also Hans but a few years later).  I love how they make everything so ridiculous, and use of the city of San Francisco so well. Incorporating the trolley, the wheelchair basketball guys, hitting the water jug truck, ending at the Exploratorium, it's all great. The characters are generally caricatures, but it works well. Gay barber guy, German Jay Leno, surfer dude on a bike, all the FBI agents eating food while their boss is hanging from the side of the building, and Nic Cage being Nic Cage. This movie never gets old for me. 

 

[Speedtrucker 2071]

I always thought the rock and bad boys had the same score, not music soundtrack but score

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Ed Harris is pretty great villain, but I think Cyrus Grissom aka Cyrus the Virus wins the bad guy contest.

Rock definitely edges out Con Air overall though.

I will fucking fight anyone who doesn’t like this movie.  

I would also drink Vanessa Marcil’s bath water.

She got a lot of plastic surgery after that movie, not nearly as pretty as she once was

You’re not alive until you visit Alcatraz on a clear, blue day and say “Welcome to the Rock” about a dozen times.

If true, you'd think she'd get rid of the Wolfson mole. 

[Buzzrock 14901]

It really was a top tier summer action movie, back when Connery was still badass and Cage and Bay were not yet punchlines.

Having never used a cel phone, how did he know how to call information?  How did he know his way around SF so well?

Bullshit, this is a high quality great action film. Don't lump it with the likes of Con Air.

I bet the people there laugh every time like they've never heard it.

[Parliament 14227]

How much of that movie was filmed there?  I've been on the night tour (highly recommended) and it doesn't seem to match up.  The shower room especially.

[bamachine 1230]

^Likely just the exterior wide shots. It would probably be too much trouble to try to film the interior shots inside there.

[Dutchrudder 11133]

I went to Alcatraz last year, and I watched The Rock just before going to SF. I was a bit disappointed at how different the sets were from the actual facility. The cell block might be the only place that wasn't a stage set.

[kt-horn 56]

You've been around a lot of corpses. Is that normal?
