Green screening myself into the movie Backdraft (..kinda)

Комедия

Backdraft is a firefighter classic, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its flaws. Well, major flaws. What other firefighter movies do you want to see reviewed?

    I'm also told there was a bit of an east/west divide in full adoption of breathing apparatus. The eastern US departments valued clarity of communication over the inhalation hazard. If I recall correctly Backdraft was supposed to be Chicago FD, so they probably didn't adopt breathing gear as quickly as say LAFD or SFFD. Would be interesting to see what the philosophy of the real department was at the time the screenplay was written.

    A couple of fun facts about Emergency. Mike Stoker, who played Engineer Mike Stoker, was a real LA County Fireman and engineer. LA County did not mind a couple of actors driving the squad but they insisted every Fire truck or other rig be driven by a real engineer. Mike Stoker was an engineer who happened to have a Screen Actors Guild card. Ron Pinkard. Doctor Mike Morton, was a Navy Corpsman and retired from the Naval Reserves with the rank of Commander. He could do most of the medical procedures on the show and was the unofficial technical advisor. 60's teen heart throb Bobby Sherman quit acting to become a Paramedic after doing one episode on this show. Jack Webb told the writers every incident had to come from a fire department somewhere. Producer Bob Cinader thought that would be boring until he started reading actual logs and said "The best writers could not come up with some of this stuff."

    Yes. The parole hearing scene with Deniro as the fire inspector, when he gently taunts Sutherland, the arsonist into exposing exactly why he should remain in prison, is perfect. The acting by both was superb. Sutherland was chilling and terrifying while speaking so gently. IMHO, this was the best, non-firefighting scene in the film. I served with a medic in the army who was also a volunteer firefighter. He loved this movie, and we would watch it regularly. He'd nitpick all of the mistakes, of course, but were always quiet when we reached the parole board scene because it was so powerful. I definitely understand why firefighters love it so much.

    Work at a station once where a newer member invited his girl over late one night and they reenacted that firehose love scene. Unfortunately he had forgotten that the bay had a motion activated security camera...😆 He was given a short vacation. To my knowledge his girl was too embarrassed to ever come to the station again.

    I can relate. After watching Dirty Harry, I wanted to be Clint Eastwood - which was awkward because I’m a girl - a girl who likes guys - making it an even more unrealistic dream since I’d essentially be a girl stuck in Clint Eastwood’s body. Like I said - awkward. I ended up being a girl with an irritable disposition and a pretty big mouth 🙃

    My older brother recorded Backdraft on the VCR and watched the tape it for weeks over the summer of his Freshman year in HS. His vernacular was similar to the dialogue from the movie, (e.g., washing the cars, he'd yell charge the line!) he joined the Jr. volunteers then the actual volunteer FD, and then became a paid firefighter- he's been doing it for 25 years now. Backdraft was the single inspiration for his career. That's my brother goddamnit!

    I still say the only truly realistic workplace-based shows ever made were Are You Being Served and Superstore. You can hire a fire, medical, police or courtroom consultant, but with retail you can fill the entire cast and writers' room with people who'd worked in retail right up until they made it big in showbiz by being hired for that show.

    True story. When I was a kid I wanted to be a fireman when I grew up. Mostly because when I was in kindergarten and grade one my elementary school had a simulation rig that the fire department would bring once a year that had light and smoke and the door would warm up. They would then have us go through this simulator to teach us what to do in a fire. I thought this was the coolest job and those firemen were heros. One day my Dad rented Backdraft. I was terrified of being a fireman from that day on... so ya I'm not a fireman. Anyway awesome videos keep them coming you are so creative and fun I love it. Cheers.

But the other thing was, the volunteer firemen in our school got to carry the radios to class and run out if there was a big fire. I think they enjoyed that perk!😆😆

    Yanno, I've become addicted to your sarcasm. It's seriously very awesome. The Backdraft "fire growl" and "fire breathes" and "fire thinks" parts were a bit over the top but so good anyway. And it's Kurt "the tennis shoes" Russell. What's not to like? And the fire hose.......yeah, did they not catch that the fire hose gets dragged through little splinters of GLASS and it catches that stuff? Let's just take a hay roll in a nice razor blade field.

    22 years ago, I was talking to a newspaper reporter at my job site (I was working as a security guard at the time), and I mentioned I was also a volunteer firefighter. The reporter asked me if firefighting was really like in “Backdraft” (BIG mistake!), and I said, “Are you kidding?! If we did HALF the shit they do in that movie, we’d be dead before we even got into the building!” To this day, my husband and I joke that the best form of entertainment at a firehouse is to throw a bunch of us into the TV room, stick that movie into the Blu-Ray, and watch us pick the movie apart. The result is almost always better than television! But seriously, I LOVE the lunch scene at the firehouse, and I can tell you that all the joking and grab-assing that goes on just shows how tight we are once the guys accept you as part of the gang. I’ve been a “volley” for 23 years now, and I love it as much as I did at the beginning, especially now that we’ve got the next generation to mess with! 😈
