F-14 Tomcat Scenes from 'The Final Countdown' HD Part3

Now, all parts on youtube are in the correct framerate :)
However, you can still download the video (includes Part 1 to 4) as a splitted zip archive. To unpack just use 7zip, winrar,...
This offers better quality as the version on youtube, because youtube reencodes the video after upload, so there is a quality loss.

Download:

It's a mkv-Container with h264/AC3 streams. You can play this file in VLC or in directshow based players (like wmp, mpc, ...) after installing ffdshow and Haali Media Splitter.

Admiral: Which planes do you and in the air for the next shot?


Director: Yes

[MrSpychecker]

I love how they Launch an EA-6A to jam all of those sophisticated Japanese electronics they had back in the day.

[SamhainBe]

We were a Grumman family - Dad was a machinist and helped build the Tomcat. If there's a more beautiful fighter, I haven't seen it!

[rickwilliamson]

Love, love, LOVE the Jolly Rogers paint scheme. One of the best.

[olentangy]

I feel old looking at this. In my day this was the exact air wing composition my ship had. Every one of those planes are long gone now.

[danielhaire]

I would have loved to see the reaction of the Japanese Admiral looking up and seeing this force approaching his fleet.

So so many amazing screenshots got from this video, awesome movie, loved it when came out. makes me miss my days on the carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower CVN69 bk in early 90s. So cool to have em show so much of how the some of the flight ops works and some of the weapon handling with so many aircraft, not just showing 1 or 2 being launched etc.. this movie def is a classic.

F-14A A-6 E EA-6B A-7E S-3A RF-8G
Nowadays, we only see F/A-18s and F-35s, but when this movie was being shot, we could see a wide variety of aircraft.

I wish movies were still like this. Filmed on the ships and airborne.

[mechanix]

I first saw this movie when I was a kid in the 80s. I still have to rewatch this movie as a 44 year old. It just nicely satisfies when I want a cool time travel movie.

[lard_lad_AU]

Its so good to watch a movie filmed without CGI

[MalcolmTrace]

I just love how they can the aircraft airborne do quickly brilliant

[HappisakVideos]

RIP Kirk DEouglas. Made the Tomcat cool before Top Gun did. (Edit: it's was already cool!)

2:17
That was my father's Squadron in 1978-79.
I was 6 when it came out, and watched it at a Drive- in that doesn't exist anymore.

[Willysmb]

This was a really good movie (with not the nest dialogue writing or acting for the extras) but it was SUCH a huge disappointment when you realize you're not going to get to see any version where the officers in the Japanese carriers look up and see a flight of Tomcats and Intruders inbound, the flight lead calls tally ho on the flat tops and calls weapons free. What American wouldn't want to see that scene?

[bayushizero]

In the catapult launch montage, did I see an F8 Crusader?

[allgood]

They look really cool in their light grey with bright colours 👍

[Daschickenify]

1:42 That looked like a locked tire and subsequent tire explosion

[CDRhammond]

Man did this bring back good memories nothing has compared to launching off the catapult of a navy carrier though for me it was the F/A-18 unfortunately didn't get to play with the Tomcat long since it was retired in 2006

He forgot to add this scene, but after the rescued Japanese pilot being escorted by armed Marines arrives on the carrier deck and sees an F-14 landing, the pilot's expression is like "Wait what? We're going up against THAT?!"
