Yes, at 24:20 Sometimes we get so caught up in Harrison Ford as an action hero in a film like this that we get reminders that the man can act too. LOL!

I hope one day you consider a film called "WHAT LIES BENEATH". Let's just say it's a different side of him but I love it.

The guy who wrote this was an old friend of my screenwriting professor's. He was so obsessed with the first Die Hard film that he basically wrote it again but with the president instead of John McClain.

Makes total sense.

Xander Berkeley being a bad guy posing as a hostage reminds me of one of the real life hostages in the 1980 London Iranian Embassy hostage rescue describing being cuffed and hustled out of the embassy and pushed face down to the ground by the SAS until they could verify who was who. As he lay there, he turned his head to the hostage next to him and said "We have just been rescued by one of the finest counter-terrorist teams in the world!" Even though he was one of the people being rescued, he had to be treated as a potential threat until everything was under control and confirmed safe.

In every reaction video (and when people saw the film in theaters) the tone changed from summer popcorn action film to serious war film after Ivan murders Melanie Mitchell. Everyone gets very serious for the rest of the movie after that scene, it literally changes the entire tone of the film.

You need to give Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan a try. I love Patriot Games, Clear and present Danger and The Sum of all Fears

You might want to try the 1974 Francis Ford Coppola film, "The Conversation". Perhaps Gene Hackman's best role, it also has a small part for a very young Harrison Ford. Really good movie.

Gary Oldman did a nice job playing Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK.

I really enjoyed your reaction to this, Madison. I'm really glad that you managed to get it sorted in the end. It's a great film, another good film with Harrison Ford is 'Clear and Present Danger' well worth reacting to. Thanks for your preserverance in getting this uploaded for us, Madison.

Yes! Clear and Present Danger!

There's a story of a fighter pilot reporting "There's AIR FORCE ONE here with bullet holes in it!". The tower/flight control knew about the filming, and that this was just the mock-up with painted on bullet holes, and could calm the pilot down.

Great reaction video! I loved how Gary Oldman creeped you out at 15:38. Keep up the awesome work!

So many people sacrificing themselves to protect the president reminds men that when Secret Service agent Timothy J. McCarthy took a bullet for President Ronald Reagan in real life, my little sister pointed out how extraordinarily brave that was by saying "When you think about it, he 's only president for four years, and we even have a back up president lined up in case anything happens to him!"

Congratulations on your book. I hope the launch goes well. And I agree that Gary Oldman is a brilliant actor.

Hey Madison, congrats on the book! If I can recommend another 90s action movie.... In the Line of Fire from 1993, it started Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich, and Renee Russo. It definitely has some of the same vibes as Air Force One.

If you thought Gary Oldman's depiction of the villain was great then you absolutely need to see 2 more movies with him: Leon The Professional (1994) IMDB Rating 8,5 Famous for Natalie Portman's absolutely stellar 1st time performance, introducing the french actorJean Reno to a wider audience and Gary Oldman's wonderful depiction of the villain. And of course the late, great Danny Aiello as a supporting character. The Fifth Element (1997) IMDB Rating 7,6 Adaptation of a french comic, basically a Sci-fi Thriller with Comedy and much more! Gary Oldman again as a wonderful villain, also Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Ian Holm and a hilarious Chris Tucker! These are both great movies, in my humble opinion absolute Classics. And coincidentally both directed by Luc Besson. I think it's fair to say these are essential viewing. Edit: Forgot to say Congratulations on your Novel. Who's going to do the screenplay and movie? 😀

Randy Newman was hired to do the music, but Petersen didn't like it. Jerry Goldsmith was hired at the last minute, and only had 12 days to compose and record the score. The workload was so high that he got Joel McNeely (and, if I'm not mistaken, his son Joel Goldsmith) for some of it. So this is Goldsmith on a bad day, and he still managed to deliver THIS. He was the greatest. (Randy Newman recycled some of the music for Toy Story 3.)

That was great! Thank you for reacting to this movie!

I never got the joke about the red, white and blue wires when I first watched the movie. I was thinking too much in electrical engineering conventions (red = hot, green/yellow = ground etc.)

I’ve always liked this movie and I think it should have gotten more attention than it did.

Not enough people are aware of this movie, very happy to see a reaction to this beauty 😎

A lot of fun this one, I've always liked "Plane" movies. Flightplan (2005) and Executive Decision (1996) are equally fun in the same vein. Gary Oldman, in my eyes, plays a better villain than the nice guy, EVERYONE ( sorry ) loves his demented performance in Léon (1994), well worth a watch. Actually, as an Englishman, I have to correct you, it's pronounced "Nuclear" 😄

The only person I hated more than Gary Oldman in this movie is Xander Berkeley. For years after this, whenever my wife and I saw Xander in another film/show, we'd always yell, "Shoot him! Shoot him now!"

Yeah, I find this film enjoyable probably more than the average person. This was actually my comfort film after 9/11 happened an' I wanted to feel positive about the country for once, even if it was just a hollywood imagining of it.

The one problem I always had with this movie is that - with the possible exception of the Secretary of Defense - everyone who does their duty dies. Secret Service agents die. F15 pilots die. The President’s people die. But the President doesn’t bail out as he should, and he lives. The VP doesn’t take control, and she lives.

The fantasy of having a president who's actually a good person

The secret service wasn't using revolvers, nor was the terrorists using AR'S. They were using machine guns

I’m sure plenty of people mentioned it already, but the Secret Service do not have revolvers! To make it a revolver it has to have the cylinder that is “revolving“ pistol, handgun, that’s fine. But not revolver. Also, those guns use magazines not clips just FYI. 😂

I watched this movie and my best part is when he says get off my plane

Best wishes with the book!

The girl who played the daughter is LOADED. She is an heiress of the Pritzker family and investor worth about $600M.

The SS doesn't regulary use ARs. The machine guns they choose are compact models like an Uzi that can be concealed under the jackets like thier pistols. The badguys with the aid of a traitor got in thier onboard armory. Any larger guns used by SS would be for their counter snipers and not autos but scoped long rifles.

Gary Oldman is good at diverse rolls. A sign of a good actor. He plays a good but also bad guy in RED RIDING HOOD. I highly recommend you watch. A great 👍 werewolf film. I prefer the alternate cut. Much better than the theatrical version. My opinion. -OG

Gary Oldman is just fantastic

Always enjoy your reactions, but the security detail were using the Sig P229 pistol not revolvers, and the highjackers got into the on board armory and took the H&K MP5 submachine gun not M4/AR rifles.

Madison! There's a very moving movie with Gene Hackman, in which you'll be able to cheer for him. Based on a true story of a similar team, "Hoosiers" is one of the most moving and gratifying sports movies I've ever seen. The other two are "Field of Dreams," which you've seen and "The Natural," which you haven't. Please put them on your list.

Imagine......a president that can think, act and defend HIMSELF!🤯

Great movie. Amazing reaction.

Nucular expert Homer Simpson says it's pronounced "nucular".😄

Great reaction, Madison. I couldn't help but notice the name Rick Deckard was not included in your "I know Harrison Ford as ..." list of characters.

Gary Oldman always plays a good bad guy. Have you ever seen "Leon. The professional"? If not I guarantee you will love it. A young and I mean very young Natalie Portman is in it. She's about 10 or 12 years of age. Check it out. Put it in your pull. Also, you make watching movies fun. Thank you.

The "nu--cu-lar" thing drives me crazy too, but I'm pretty sure it isn't ignorance but some kind of regional pronunciation. I say this because Pres. Carter, who was a nuclear engineer in the U.S. Navy pronounced it "nu-cu-lar".

Great movie. One of Harrison Ford great movies. You should see it other great movies like The Fugitive ,Frantic, Firewall . Also a great Drama with Harrison Ford is Regarding Henry. . Other great airplane movies are Executive Decision , Passenger 57 and Flight Plan.. Fyi baseball glob is a nickname for the president suitcase that control nuclear nukes

Liked this movie Ford was great as the President. I got a reaction suggestion for you, it's one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz.

I love it how it's the USA don't negotiate with terrorists (when it's the common folks' lives on the line) unless it's the President's family's lives at stake. If the gun was at Maggie Kowalsky's head it wouldn't be "I'll do it" but "we promise you Ms Kowalsky were doing all we can".

Hi Madison, Gary Oldman played Commissioner Gordon in the Christopher Nolan Batman movies. He was so decent and likeable. And then he played this really bad guy.

5:18 That's not a palace. It's St Basil's Cathedral, at one end of Red Square. I don't know which Harrison Ford movies you've reacted to already, but The Fugitive, Blade Runner, and The Mosquito Coast are good. For a comedy, try Sabrina, Hollywood Homicide, or Six Days, Seven Nights. Gary Oldman also played a villain in The Fifth Element, but it was more of a cartoony kind of villain.

5:31 I know there is a difference, but honestly I cant hear it lol. Its always something i cant seem to notice the difference in pronunciation.

Go Murica! Madison K. Thames, official American Badass.

have you seen Fifth Element and why did you stop using subtitles.. it makes it easier to follow the conversation when the volume is not in sync with the commentary volume

Gary Oldman: Inmortal Beloved.

Looking forward to your reaction Madison! I’d much rather watch this with you then go to the theater to watch him be deconstructed.

I remember my first time watching this film, it was with a few friends and we all spontaneously broke into laughter at the truly dreadful effects when Air Force One hit the water. Shockingly bad CGI for the era.

IMO this was Ford's last great film role until his return as Indy in CRYSTAL SKULL. Yes you should seek IN THE LINE OF FIRE with Clint Eastwood as it was directed by the same man Wolfgang Petersen. Congrats re: your debut novel Mads!

Great reaction as always! Small correction: they don't have ARs as they are semiautomatic weapons. They have fully automatic weapons such as M16s and the like.

What? That's how I say nuclear (noo-klee-er)

Madison do videos on taxi driver and the wild one Marlon Brando and a young Robert de Niro

Have you seen Harrison Ford in "Presumed Innocent"?

To me, Gary Oldman is only a villain - here, as Dr. Smith, as Dracula. I can't ever remember seeing him as a good guy.

Is it President’s Day? He Needs a day off :D

For your next president movie or patriotic movie watch "my fellow Americans" (1996) Jack Lemmon and James Garner. Just a suggestion. Thanks Madison ❤

“…The bad guys all have AR’s”? Wow! I really hope you mean simply “automatic rifles” and not AR-15’s.

Hiya. In complete contrast, watch 'The American President' (1995). Stay safe. All the best to you.

It's an absolute cheesefest but I ADORE this film. Gary Oldman is having a whale of a time hamming it up and he loved every second. If I recall an interview at release he agreed to play the role solely because of being opposite Harrison.

I like the idea of the Air Force One being not one exact plane but rather whichever plane that the POTUS is on.

"should of" rather than "should have" is my grammar nazi bugbear.

Madison! It's a good point you made about the word, nucular. There is no such word. Glad you mentioned it because my reelator mispronounces stuff all the time, so I'm going to make him watch this! :)

Blocking the screen with a center circle is most annoying.

Overall a great movie, but for someone who understands russian it´s painful to hear them speaking :D

worst cg plane crash ever

People saying nucular is a pet peeve of mine too. And the first time I got under my skin was when I saw the movie THE CHINA SYNDROME directed by Michael Douglas back in the '70s. Douglas who also starred butchers that word throughout the movie and it made me wonder if his being the director may have had something to do with it not being caught, like maybe no on the set who knew better had the guts to tell him how stupid he was sounding. But I was apparently not alone in noticing. Shortly after the movie came out, the sci-fi magazine OMNI had a cartoon in it showing the outside of a nuclear power plant with a sign on the fence saying, "No one who says nucular allowed beyond this point. I have similar issues with ... 1) the ridiculously overused cliches, "drakonian" and "at the end of the day ...", (These are like fingernails on a blackboard to me every time I hear them,) 2) the term surreal being used as a synonym for unreal, (And it has regrettably been misused so often this way it has actually forced dictionaries to add that usage to their definitions). And ... 3) the term gaslighting being used to describe any situtation where someone is lying and it is obvious the person using the term has never seen the movie GASLIGHT (where it originated) and has no idea what gaslighting really means. And finally (and you may already know this and was just making fun), but a parsec is a unit of distance, not time. And it is not merely any old measure of distance. It has to be measured from the surface of the Earth (which is a planet in a galaxy far far away from the setting of Star Wars). So that quote from Star Wars is even more nonsensical than the word "nucular".
