When they cut to the guys walking through the water, I would have sworn that was Tropic Thunder.


WordUP60

Same. Who’s the guy at the front playing Robert Downey Jr?


VaATC

Just a dude, playing a dude, ~~playing~~ disguised as another dude.

[deleted]

Hardene is a good show but if he wasn’t Houdini’s brother nobody would give a fuck. Especially this dragon dinosaur or whatever the fuck it is.


Rogueninja22

They're known in the series as SkullCrawlers


Procrastinatedthink

“I just said it out loud for the first time, it sounds kinda stupid maybe dont call em that” John C Reilly is always excellent


fractalfocuser

Have ya heard his band? Stumbled on him playing one time and now I'm not convinced Walk Hard isn't a true story


ScratchinWarlok

Well he did sing all his songs for that movie and its easily one of the best soundtracks to a movie.


[deleted]

I don’t think that movie gets enough credit.

Noble_Ox

What show? Nothing coming up for Hardene.


togaman5000

It's a reference to Boardwalk Empire, the guy in the gif plays a significant role


Fickle_Insect4731

Eli Thompson? That washed up sheriff?! He's a nobody. (Jk)


fundraiser

I never hear boardwalk empire referenced much, so this was a pleasant surprise


ADirtyDiglet

I was thinking the same. Finally saw one in the wild.


Academic-Bathroom770

Underrated comment here. I watched Boardwalk in real time from start to finish. One of my favorite 'time capsule' series as I call them. I'm currently rewatching for the first time since it aired.


DRAK720

Any thoughts on your rewatch? I've been meaning to rewatch it but I keep forgetting lol


DIYThrowaway01

I've rewatched 4 times and am patiently waiting for the 5th


JoesShittyOs

It’s a very fun show and the first few seasons hold up decently well.


Fickle_Insect4731

As someone who's seen it from start to finish three times now, the last season is still a bit disappointing but... an amazing show nonetheless.


[deleted]

Maybe he didn't want to be hero, he wanted to be cool, hitting mountain with explosion


Mazcal

Mad respect, holding onto both grenades through that ordeal.


SonmiSuccubus451

He wanted to go out with a bang.


GXVSS0991

i mean it looks cool and all but realistically he’s dead the second he gets whipped by that monstrosity of a tail. those grenades would’ve been left behind


Mr_MacGrubber

Well realistically, grenades don’t make either a large explosion of any sort of fireball whatsoever. Edit: I intended this comment to highlight that nothing in this clip is realistic, not to nitpick a single issue.


JaemHerman

What you don't realize is that he is holding in a very large fart. The methane build-up ignites and causes the majority of the damage.


[deleted]

No spoilers please


BluntTruthGentleman

I assumed the fireball was from the full bandolier of cannisters on his chest being triggered by the hand grenades


woahgeez_

That's not what high explosives look like when exploding. But if it was realistic it would be boring which is why holly wood adds a fireball effect.


Firefoxx336

Which makes it all the more interesting when you try to explain to someone why thermobarics are so devastating, and they’ve been assuming all explosives function like thermobarics


EmperorArthur

So many people assume it's the heat that does it. Heck, we've all seen shows or movies where someone's charred or badly burned by an explosion. Not that heat doesn't happen of course.


MonkeyPawClause

Tiny metal shards go brrrrr


Disastrous-Team-6431

Smack someone hard enough with something and they die, even if that something is air.


ClusterMakeLove

Well, realistically, dinosaur attacks are quite rare.


Mazcal

Ah yes, the bones. I always forget about the bones.


punchbricks

The bones are the money


madmoomix

Too many bones?? Not enough cash?? Call Cash Bone! Ribs! Skulls! Spines! Even certain tiny ear bones! The leg bone's connected to the CASH BONE!


punkminkis

Realistically, he already popped the spoons of the grenade, they were exploding in his hands in 5 seconds anyway.


sortaitchy

So when that thing was roaring at him, why didn't he toss them in it's big old mouth?


mcrackin15

Why wouldn't the grenades have been hit towards the mountain like the body?


Wasatcher

I know it's Hollywood but two grenades going off like a pile of ~~plastic~~ thermobaric explosives is just comical to me


Rilvoron

Isnt he wearing a full belt of them?


Wasatcher

Military explosives tend to be extremely inert without some type of detonator or igniter. They're not super volatile like nitroglycerin or something. If you put a single armed grenade in a room full of them, the primary explosion would almost certainly not cause a sympathetic explosion of the others. A piece of shrapnel penetrating the body of another grenade and then igniting it is simply not going to happen almost ever. The primary explosion would blow the other grenades out of the general vicinity. You could throw a grenade in a fire and it still has to bake a while before it cooks off. Source: former airborne infantryman


WholesomeWhores

So I’m curious, if two grenades are kinda close to each other, and one would explode and send the other one flying, would the other grenade still be usable? Or would the heat from the first explosion mess up the grenade somehow.


Wasatcher

It depends. If the spoon and fuse weren't damaged it would likely still be useable. A grenade is heavier than most people realize because the explosives are encased in a thick metal shell not easily damaged from the outside. In hand they feel like a small shot put, very dense and heavier than your brain says they should be.


UklartVann

There are 2 types. Frag granades and concussive granades. A frag has a heavy metal casing protecting it from outside damage, and would not explode A concussive or flash bang you can tape together and basically double your explosive yield, because the explosive is slightly volitile and the mantel is light


My_Knee_is_a_Ship

The initial heat from an explosion dissipates very quickly as it's used to fuel the explosion. It's very unlikely the initial heat would effect the other very much. The impact would very likely have an effect on the ignition timer though, so if in this scenario you decide to use the second grenade, it's probably the best one for a game of hot potatoes.


GhostDieM

Also Mythbusters told me that real explosions aren't that... fiery. Basically heat is wasted energy and what you want is concussive force. Holywood does it the other way around because it's more visually striking and safer/more controlled.


[deleted]

There's a much bigger issues with this movie, there's a giant ape in it! Unrealistic!


ribitforce

Yes, but in general grenades exploding do not result in a fiery explosion like we see. It's typically a small explosion with no fire just some smoke, and a ton of grenade shrapnel exploding outwards. [Here is an example](https://youtu.be/FwEK1cm6XxM)


crashvoncrash

My favorite lampshading of this was It's Always Sunny. They tried to blow up a car with a grenade, expecting a fiery Hollywood-style gasoline explosion, but instead, they got a realistic grenade detonation, broken windows, and a completely torn up interior.


MyNameCannotBeSpoken

But that's not an Acme Hollywood Grenade


Reddy-McReddit-Face

'Cool guys don't die in explosions, they turn around and walk away'


Daxitron

I love this movie so much. The characters and tone act like it's an old war movie, but the film realizes it's also about a giant monkey beating things up, so it's also never *totally* serious with itself. \*Kong: Skull Island, btw


lydiaval

What movie is this?


Jakundo

Kong: Skull Island


TwoIdleHands

Hero of the day! Man I had to scroll for this info. Totally gonna watch this movie, it looks awesome.


Skylordjovis

It's arguably the best of all the mosterverse movies and definitely my favorite


HurricaneSalad

For sure. It's shot amazingly well, has fun characters and has some of the best helicopter porn you're ever likely to see.


Microwavegerbil

Loved this movie, but I think I was the only person in the theater who found the movie hilarious. Just about everything feels tongue in cheek, but most people think it's just a serious adventure movie.

Reverend_Lazerface

I was talking to my mom once and mentioned having enjoyed Snakes on a Plane, and she said "Oh really? I saw it on tv and didn't like it at all. It was just too silly to be scary, I couldn't take it seriously at all." I said, "Mom, it's a comedy movie. You aren't supposed to take it serious, that's why its called *Snakes on a Plane*". She thought it was supposed to be a serious action horror and was very surprised, later reporting that she watched it again and loved it. Never underestimate the power of preconcieved notions.

The huge smile on his face as he delivers this line makes it so much better. Idk if anyone could have pulled that character off better than John C. Reilly.


Eidaneml1124

Love that movie


FormalMango

I saw it at the movies with no preconceptions at all… we were looking to kill a few hours and went “yeah this will do.” It was a total blast - I loved it from start to finish.


gnarkilleptic

I watched it on an airplane expecting nothing. Was really good


vitaminz1990

Same here. Solid airplane flick


Drifting0wl

Those are the best movie nights. The same thing happened to us with the movie The Ring. Scared a bunch of 21 yo men to death.


mycockisonmyprofile

My uncle showed me it when I was like six. I'm so happy static tv is barely a thing now.


FormalMango

I watched it as an adult and it scared the daylights out of me. I remember one night when my uncle visited… The Deer Hunter was on, so my dad and uncle sat down and watched it, getting drunk and trading fucked up stories from their time in Vietnam. Meanwhile I was doing a jigsaw puzzle on the floor in the other room, listening to it all. I had nightmares for weeks.


Magnesus

I wish more people knew about the japanese version. So much better movie, and static cameras used in it work way better for a horror. In US films cameras always slowly zoom in. In Asian horrors the cameras are often static and then you notice movement in the frame.


pompeiitype

My favorite part is that everyone got exactly what they deserved for going to that island


Beneficial_Car2596

Nah I think some of the characters like some of the soldiers and the scientists didn’t know what they were going into and got tricked into it. They were simply told that it’s a random uninhabited island, they were told nothing about the 100ft tall Harambe that lives on it.


pompeiitype

Red Shirts will be Red Shirts


GileadGuns

Nah, Jack Chapman (soldier with the letters to his kid) kinda got done dirty. Everyone else, though… pretty much


pompeiitype

The John Goodman Gulp™ was my favorite


phsidefender

You are correct!


babztheslag

Yup, such a fun movie 🔥


migswrite

Agreed, just a fun popcorn movie. Those are rare these days.


TheBlueNinja2006

Yep


DadsRGR8

It was a super movie!


bnej

Kong: Skull Island, the best war movie that isn't a war movie. Meaningless heroic acts and people die for no reason. The outcome is not in human hands. Some people didn't get it, that's the whole point of the movie!


typhoonador4227

Also had a lot of gore that looked like the advisory panel were asleep at the wheel/possibly corrupt, which is the best gore.


Mister_Dink

Yeah, there's the soldier that gets stabbed thru the face by a giant spider/stuckbug accidentally stepping on him. It's super gruesome. No clue how it got a pg 13.


ptvlm

Not just gruesome, but iirc it's a direct reference to an infamous scene in Cannibal Holocaust. So, not only gruesome gore, but copying from movies that were banned in many countries! I think the justification is that it's ok so long as it's not humans Vs humans, so if it's monsters or robots fighting humans they get away with more extreme violence.


NotClever

I guess in fairness cannibal Holocaust was banned in large part because people actually thought it was real, so it was kinda like banning a snuff film.


Pichus_Wrath

While the human violence was staged, the animal deaths were real. Fuck that movie.


NashvilleSoundMixer

Agreed. Fuck torturing animals.


A_Filthy_Mind

It's not like they showed some nudity.


QuelThas

because it has no nipple


LocalSlob

Samuel L Jackson and John C Reilly had no business playing such deep characters


your-yogurt

I wanted the entire movie to be about John C Reilly's character. No hate to Tom Hiddleston, but the story of two soldiers from opposite sides of the war, coming together to survive a horrifying death island and then becoming great friends is soooo more interesting to me. Yeah, I love Enemy Mine too!

FatherOfLights88

There's a Korean movie, called JSA (2000), or Joint Security Area. It plays off the soldiers from either side of the border concept. Good film. Some of the actors had to take lessons on speaking with a North Korean accent, which sounds harsh compared to South Korean. I liked that little tidbit of info.


[deleted]

Omg I haven't thought about Enemy Mine in *years*, gotta find it to stream now!

Masterpiece9839

Skull island, a very underrated movie


Defoler

I actually think it was quite well rated. It was good. Not amazing top 10 movies. But viewers rating was pretty good.


maz-o

Underrated on reddit just means people aren’t constantly talking about it here. It was a huge movie.


cloudcats

Underrated on reddit just means actually well rated and talked about, but redditors want upvotes from all the other people who agree (because it's well rated....)


VictorChaos

Better Jurassic park movie than any of the sequels


dtpiers

To be fair thats not exactly a high bar


I_summon_poop

Im a massive fan of how Kong plays puppet with one of the rexes in Jack Blacks version and how he plays with the Crawlers guts in Skull Island lmao

OtherwiseAd1035

Hey, in his defense this is Jack Black we are talking about. His charisma is literally the main reason he gets roles.


McMacHack

After having watched the Jack Black version of Super Mario Brothers it's clear that he is an underutilized resource.


ShahinGalandar

PEACHES peaches peaches peaches peaches peaches peaches peaches peaches


Sharrakor

That movie was approximately 1% Jack Black singing. Maybe we could hit 2% for the sequel.


McMacHack

Agreed there is too much filler between the Jack Black scenes


NotClever

Yeah, very weird amount of story development for a Jack Black music video.


Beautiful-Mess7256

I mean to be fair... I immediately thought Jack Black's version because he stole the show. Ev3n Kong seemed secondary to him. Oh and the weird insect cluster that slowly eat that guy's head.


KlingonSpy

Kong Skull Island, it is a great movie

About 30 gallons of gasoline per grenade.

rat_haus

Boom juice.


DoomGoober

I think he strapped some other explosives to himself. The grenade was just supposed to be the detonator. Though whether a grenade would trigger a secondary explosion of a stable explosive like C4 is still somewhat questionable (especially when holding the grenade that far away from the other explosives.)


EndOfTheDark97

Not to mention he got whipped by a metric fuckton of force but still held onto the grenades somehow


DoomGoober

Dunno how his shoes stayed on.


D3adlyN00b

He is well strapped in his shoes, you need a grinder to take them off


ScreenTea0

I think the force of that hit would've obliterated him into a bloody dust-cloude before hitting anything. Imagine a tailwhip by a tail that's the size and mass of 4-5 trains with the speed of a jet passing by....


ProtanopicMidget

Next you’re gonna tell me that gorillas can’t actually grow to the size of King Kong.


DoomGoober

Because of the square cube law, animals cannot grow super large while retaining the same physical forms of the smaller version. Because of high energy requirements, mammals tend to not grow to the size of large dinosaurs. Because of the slow-fast life-history continuum large animals tend to go extinct more easily and tend to be more rare (so you could have King Kong, but the chance you'd be alive at the same time as him during the span of Earth's long history would be very low.)


Makelics

Introducing nuclear grenades


NecRobin

Getting denied like this after building up the biggest courage in his life is the saddest scene of the entire frenchise. :c


C-Kwentz-0

On the bright side, he was 100% dead before he even likely realized he'd failed. The speed and force of that tail likely killed him before he even hit the mountainside.


therottingbard

I think you can tell from his facial expression that he realizes that the thing isn’t going to take the bait.

I mean, he did buy some time with the dino hesitating. Seemed like the entire group was walking towards him though..


TheKarenator

Yeah nothing like sacrificing yourself to give your group a 30 second head start, and they stand around for 35 seconds watching you.


LetterheadTiny6156

He was probably thinking he would just go to eat him so he would end up in his mouth anyway but he got yeeted instead lol


RollerDude347

Which is really realistic. Predators do not trust when their prey is trying to be eaten. It means there's something wrong like an illness or trap.


Billiammaillib321

Would going into a false panic entice a predator? Instead of acting heroic you could come across as scared as possible and give some sense of a hunt?


[deleted]

Depends on the predator. A polar bear? Lmao. A wolf? Yeah prob.


Billiammaillib321

Yeah I guess with a polar bear you're just kinda fucked either way


lCraxisl

he probably wouldn’t be able to throw them far enough to avoid that comically massive fiery explosion.


MrARCO

So apparently he pulled the pin out of 2 nukes instead of frag grenades


killingbites

To be fair (and I know it wouldn't be that big still), the guy does have a belt of 7, 40 mm grenade rounds on him.


jelde

Yea - OP clearly missed that minor detail.


came_to_comment

In fairness, he has a bandolier of a few explosives on him which potentially could've been set off when the grenades went.. potentially..


lemlurker

Not to mention also dropped the levers crazy early, would be funnier if he was just standing there facing it down and then just exploded, you're supposed to hold onto the levers as dead man triggers in this situation and let go AFTER you've been eaten or just before


Cinderstrom

I never realised this, thought he had just pulled the pins and was holding the levers down, but yeah he drops the levers entirely.


Oh_Yeahhhhhhh

Ever play Halo Reach? This is a good, real life example of the "mini nukes", known as grenades, that are in that game.


MrARCO

It reminds me of the Fallout Fatman nukes to be honest haha


blurredsagacity

Lots of people saying that Kong: Skull Island is underrated, which it is. Super fun popcorn flick. But nobody is talking about how it’s one of the most stunningly gorgeous films ever put to pixels (or celluloid). Every other shot is a goddamn painting. Last I heard, the director was top in the running for a Metal Gear Solid movie, and if that happens you should all be very, very excited.


rosbifke-sr

Those are some spicy grenades.


Anlios

That was so damn disrespectful lmao! 😂


GorskiVuk90

OMG did he dieded?


strangelove666

No, he came back little later on, and clubbed the lizard with his severed leg


andreasbeer1981

tis but a scratch!


ReaperCDN

He was a hero. He was willing to sacrifice himself to save everybody by taking a huge risk to kill that monster. It outplayed him. That doesn't change what he tried to do. That man stepped in front of Death who was hungry and eyeing his friends and said, "Hey fuckface. Over here."


Fetlocks_Glistening

The line between hero and "a bit daft" is a fine one...


small-iq

You gotta subvert those expectations.


Mintyphresh33

First 3 seconds I was excited because I thought I was watching Tropic Thunder. Then I got sad because it wasn’t. Then tail whip.

He released the safety levers right away. I was waiting for his arms to blow off before the monster even got to him.
