The Abyss - Caravan of Garbage
Ойын-сауық
We're on the road to Avatar 2: The Way Of Water! And on that road there there were three movies from James Cameron's filmography that made it happen, the first of which we'll be looking at is The Abyss from 1989. Starring Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Michael Biehn among others it tells the harrowing tale of a civilian diving team, a rogue nuclear warhead and aliens of The Deep. I hope you like submarines because boy there's a lot of them. Thanks for listening to our Caravan Of Garbage review!

My favourite bit of trivia in this film is that after shooting wrapped, James Cameron spent months and months editing and re-editing everything into something that matched his vision, to the point that a producer tracked him down, kicked in his door and told him that he could either release a finished cut in two weeks, or drive around to every theatre in America, stand on stage and explain the plot to the audience.

I work for a portapotty company, so I can tell you from experience, that the blue tablets we put in the tanks that make the water blue, stains like nothing else. You can wash your hands 50 times and still be blue. There’s been a few shifts where I’ve run out of gloves and even just grabbing the clean tablets from the bag can stain your hands but obviously sticking the whole hand in the toilet itself will do the same thing
I’ve grown to like Ed Harris more and more over the years. Now knowing he punched James Cameron in the face is just another plus.
I'm afraid of being under water, it scares me. The lack of breath and vision, the vaccum around your ears, everything about it. This movie made me claustrophobic more than once. Most importantly when Ed is drowning slowly, I almost threw up. But this movie is phenomenal. One of the best I have ever seen.
The random clip of "So I Married an Axe Murderer" made me laugh very, very hard, literally made my night, thank you guys 😅
Ok I just wanna say that this video has been in my “watch later” playlist for an entire year because I wanted to hear you guys talk about it but I’d never seen the thing and, like you mentioned, could not find it anywhere. Now, I’ve just finished the 4K remaster in theaters and, at long last, I could watch this video. And boy was I not disappointed! I can’t believe how quickly I’d forgotten about caravan of garbage staples like “guy who screams rodney” and “James puts blue harvest into every episode”. I love you guys.

Who knows. It's certainly not as well know in his repetoire as Avatar or Titanic. I'm sure the actors involved wouldn't be too keen on a 4K release, bring back bad memories (by which I mean, for example, something like 4K anniversary edition would be great if it had fresh commentaries, etc., but I doubt they'd want to be involved).

I've never seen this movie but yes, it seems like the most James Cameron movie ever. I think Bad Boys 2 is the most Michael Bay mover ever. That would be a great video or podcast if you haven't. Director's most quintessential/style defining movie(s)
The condition Lt. Coffey (Biehn) was suffering from is real. High Pressure Nervous Syndrome. My understanding of this illness is limited, but from what I've read, it manifests as soon as a susceptible person is submerged at extreme water depth, and begins to wreak havok on the central nervous system, causing nausea, vomiting, severe headache, the shaking/tremors, behavioral issues such as agitation, anxiety, and even paranoia. I was amazed at how Biehn portrayed this. Even though he was already a prick for real, I also felt that the illness wasn't understood by the audience because a lot of people don't know about it. He was cutting himself because his brain was literally being crushed by high water pressure and the physical pain coupled with the stress that the "Russians might have a secret installation at the bottom of the Cayman Trench" (when you're already afflicted with HPNS, and you've been ordered by a superior to retrieve a warhead from the sub because the world thinks WWIII is imminent, it's like pouring gas on to a burning outback). Coffee and Lindsay were at each other's throats because she, as much as she claimed to know about HPNS, epic failed to recognise those signs and symptoms. Coffey's own team didn't grab him and say, "You've got the shakes, yo! Lay down and we'll call Topside to get you out of here." I also realise Coffee was doing his best to hide what was happening to him, perhaps as not to disappoint his superior, the real villain IMHO, safe up on the Benthic. He was ordered to retrieve the nuke, and soldiers obey. Coffee's brain was being crushed long before that last sad glimpse of him being destroyed. TCFox asked the Academy here in the States to nominate Biehn for an Oscar, but they didn't. It's alright though. It's still definitely a hell of an acting example.

I've gotta be honest, the thing I look forward to the most in every new caravan of carbage is how james is gonna make the blue harvest joke
I saw the Abyss on it's release - having recently returned from living in Japan for 2 years. I had heard nothing about the movie, so the "water face" scene really, really blew me away. I was able to experience genuine wonder, and I'm glad I saw the movie cold.
I feel like James Cameron just makes movies to fund his hobbies. 4:15 is outstandingly funny
There was this period of time in the summer of 1996 where my family was moving houses and my brother and I would watch movies late at night while packing up the house. We for some reason watched The Abyss and Iron Eagle something like 4 times each.
Maybe it was growing up watching it again and again, but for me The Abyss is easily Cameron’s best movie. Truly underrated. You guys might want to give it another watch. Or five.
Had an honest-to-god spittake when James Cameron called a drowning rat a "rat-bitch"
If James is Mr Sunday Movies does that mean that Claire is Mrs Unday Movies
Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Ed Harris are both really great in this. Their acting and presence onscreen make the movie work. Plus, it's an underwater alien movie.
I can somehow believe James Cameron yelling direction at a rat
Holy crap. I forgot about that water face thing. I have a vague memory of being upset by that thing and trying to hide in a kitchen corner. I also have a strong fear of the open ocean. Not even drowning but simply being surrounded by that much empty water is unsettling. I think I'll rewatch this one.
Aliens imo also slots into the James Cameron water canon. Everything in that movie, especially the xenomorphs, is SHOCKINGLY wet. Those things are drenched in liquid, dripping everywhere at all times
I find it so interesting that the working title of every movie ever made was "Blie Harvest"
"Visual effects" /cut to clips from Captain Alex I am loving that
That blue toilet water or blue juice as it’s called in my job, is unbelievably difficult to remove. Ed Harris having to wear it the rest of the movie is hilarious because I still have a blue juice stain from 2 years ago on one of my shirts

I love this film. The original cut. Never seen the extended version. The drowning scene is one of the best scenes in cinema.
I enjoy that James has already forgotten what the name of the swamp creature that killed the guy yelling Rodney is.
ABYSSMAL? Once seen NEVER missed again. The Abyss is a good movie with incredibly gripping scenes. One, sees the two leads confined as freezing water pours in. The only way out - one of them has to die. However, the enclosed space and dramatic dialogue must have led to the camera lense steaming up. So the cameraman takes matters into his own hands- literally. Watch the KZread clip titled "The Abyss- Most dramatic scene" and spot the moment about 1.05 (just after Ed Harris says, "put this on") he wipes the camera lense with a cloth! And this was USED but i didn't spot it when I saw the film in the cinema!

The trivia segment has become a bizarre beast. The title "Green Trivia", the "Rodney" bit, the "Blue Harvest" joke. It's all nonsense if you haven't watched this before.
Fun fact about oxygenated perfluorocarbon. The drowning sensation doesn't go away after the first breath, you're in a perpetual state of your body convinced that it's drowning with every breath! It's essentially voluntary waterboarding.
16:20 that cut with both of them in the same shirt hurt my brain.
I was thinking that the Blue Harvest was just one of the very clever secret hidden running jokes, however the connection this week makes to much sense that now I figure that all the Blue Harvest trivia must be true and I should probably go update a bunch of IMDb trivia sections with this important information.
I loved this movie so much when I was in high school that I went to see the director's cut at a special midnight showing. MIDNIGHT. SHOWING.
The surprising part of filming The Abyss wasn't that there was a bomb threat, it's that there was *only* one bomb threat, amirite?
I live near Abyss was partially filmed in the remnants of a never completed nuclear reactor that was taken over by a nearby movie studio. Earl Owensby Studio, outside of Shelby, NC, mostly made movies straight to HBO to fill in late night hours. Owensby was also rented out to other movie productions. Parts of the film were shot on location. Other parts were in a giant water tank.
Even telegraphed, the Blue Harvest jokes are hilarious
The Abyss is one of my favorite scifi films and the best James Cameron I think.
Oh man, I envy him. He's never seen Titanic. He's going to friggin love it. Hopefully he gets filled with emotion at the end and cries. It's definitely one of those movies, and of man, the Score!

Some of the coolest alien designs. I love the bioluminescence.
Punching and Drowning - the working title for this movie
Growing up in England I never understood why you weren't allowed to see Michaelangelo or Bruce Lee using nunchucks when it was so much easier to get hold of a kitchen knife and pretend you were Raphael. I mean who the hell had nunchucks?
One of the more underrated Cameron films.
That clip of Ed Harris explaining what violence is on the press tour of A History Of Violence is so weird I wonder what was going on in his head

Doesn't he like get really into character? This is unconfirmed on my part, but I did read that during his time promoting 'The Rock,' he got really intense at an event promoting the movie.
This movie is SO underrated. A shame that it has almost been forgotten. I had a chance to talk to Michael Biehn at a Comicon and he didn’t have too bad of an experience on this movie, but yes, he wasn’t on set as long as the other cast. We both discussed that the movie was a fantastic thriller…until Biehn’s character died. 😆

Considering James Cameron's rep as THE director, it's crazy how much this film gets overlooked
