Fun fact: in the original script, the dialogue for Nicolas Cage's character was loaded with f-bombs and other profanity. He decided since he was playing a geeky scientist, it would be more appropriate if his character didn't swear. So he replaced all of the curse words with improvised stuff like "gosh", "a-hole" and "Zeus' butthole". The only time he curses is at the end when he fights Captain Frye, as a way of showing how the experience has toughened him up.

I agree with your take on Nicolas Cage. Here he is Stanley, the young Nic Cage version of a man who is normally confident in his line of work. Yet he is vulnerable as he learns he is is going to be a father and is then thrown into the kind of mission he has little experience in. Stanley also shows his decency as he works with the larger than life Mason played by Sean Connery. I think Stanley is one of Cage's most appealing performances as an action hero.

I was lucky enough to stay on Alcatraz overnight as a Boy Scout back in the early 90s. We stayed on the first floor of Cell Block D, the area where Cage and Connery are kept in the scene at around 34:52. Mine was the 2nd or 3rd cell from the far left corner. I also live about an hour away from San Francisco, and go there to hike whenever I have free time. So whenever they use the city in movies, I always go back and see what details, inaccuracies, etc. I can find. The Rock is one of my favorite 90's action movies, so I've had plenty of opportunities to go through it in detail. About half of that car chase doesn't even take place in San Francisco (those parts are split between Los Angeles and San Pedro), and what does involves some awkward backtracking and going in the opposite directions what what's being described. They were never even once on California Street. I mentioned that in the live chat when this video premiered, and someone made fun of me for analyzing a fictional car chase. So I'll reiterate what I said there: There's a 1968 movie called Bullitt that starred Steve McQueen and featured a famous car chase in San Francisco, and with real driving stunts (and in one case improvised) done by McQueen itself. It was the first car chase of its kind in films, iconic, and set a high standard that most others have only come close to reaching. It may not have been a flashy spectacle like The Rock, but it was far more dangerous, and its continuity holds up when mapped out. The only thing that makes sense in The Rock's car chase is that Connery to drive from cable car explosion at Jones & Pacific Avenues on Russian Hill to the Palace of Fine Arts in only a few minutes. Other notes: Stenson Drive doesn't exist in San Francisco. Jade's house is on West 37th Street in San Pedro. The FBI mobile command center is shown to be situated at a warehouse on Pier 39. In reality, Pier 39 is a heavily developed shopping center and tourist trap in Fisherman's Wharf. Judging by the camera perspective and the layout of San Francisco's piers, those establishing shots were taken on Pier 23, looking southeast (as in, opposite direction from Alcatraz) towards the Bay Bridge. You can see Piers 19, 17, 15, and 9, with the distinctive Pier 7 walkway jutting out a little further than the others in the distance. Given that Pier 19 was converted from a warehouse to a parking garage, it's most likely the place where the command center scenes were really filmed. Also, Pier 17 was recently made the location of the Swiss consulate, and the Exploratorium was relocated to the renovated Pier 15 in 2013. Also, the stadium shown in the missile launch was actually Candlestick Park, which was far south. The Oakland Coliseum is to the east and relatively close to Alcatraz.

Despite being 66 years old at the time, Sean Connery did a good number of his own stunts in this movie. Including the scene where he and Nic Cage swam underwater with flames burning above them. In his youth Connery had been both a boxer and an aspiring bodybuilder and over the years, he kept in excellent shape.

Hope you recognized the guy playing the Navy SEAL commander. It's Michael Biehn, who played Kyle Reese in the Terminator (and Corporal Hicks in Aliens). He was a popular choice to play military characters in the late-80s and 90s. He's played a Navy SEAL in several other films, as well.

This along with being an excellent movie, in my humble opinion has to be a top 3 all time duo reaction from you two throughout the entire movie. I so enjoyed watching and listening to you. Just two memorable examples off the top of my head. Cassie, ”Indiana Jones style” Carly “I was thinking Snow White and the 7 dwarfs but that too.” Then at the end when that man is skewered and you both look away but not long enough and you quickly cover her eyes telling her not to look. That was such a loving thing to do. This is from someone who cannot talk while being filmed and hates having her picture taken, you two are phenomenal on camera. Oh, I did a search you were correct, Sean Connery was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The rock, damn, what a fun action movie. This was in fact THE movie that made me fall in love with Hanz Zimmer music and to think I was just a clueless teenager at the time. I doubt he was even popular at the time and yet that effortless epic journey of a soundtrack immediately gripped me to the core, bedazzled me and stuck within me for all those years, after watching it in the cinemas. I was only made even happier when he has been recognized in the last decade, finally with all his music contributions in movie osts. What an absolute legend. And to think this was 27 years ago. Sean Connery is a literal god here, as he always was. Ed Harris performance was also beyond memorable.

I think my favorite Sean Connery movie is still The Last Crusade with Harrison Ford. It had a good blend of humor and intelligence, adventure and emotion. The Hunt For Red October was also quite good and Connery was good in everything, like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Michael Bein was in this as the head of the seal team, sees like he always gets killed. He was in the first Terminator with Sara Connor and also the second Aliens movie with Sig Weaver and lately he was killed by the Mandalorian. He was also killed by Val KILLmore in Tombstone... he was a huckleberry.

Mason played by Sir Thomas Sean Connery (born August 25, 1930 - died October 31, 2020) was a Scottish actor. He was the first actor to portray fictional British secret agent James Bond on film, starring in seven Bond films between 1962 and 1983.[1][2][3] Connery originated the role in Dr. No (1962) and continued starring as Bond in the Eon Productions From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967) and Diamonds Are Forever (1971). Connery made his final appearance in the franchise in Never Say Never Again (1983), a non-Eon-produced Bond film. He was in 72 movies.
